Confused? Welcome to the Learning System World of 2024
I just read (1-31-24) that during the Pandemic, students (EdTech, K-12, Higher Education) went down something like 4% in learning. That’s not good. I blame it on two areas – that seem to reverberate that e-learning isn’t as effective (I disagree). The first? Professors and teachers only do synchronous-based learning (which I believe isn’t as effective…
Buying a Learning System – Dread
Dread. It’s not a typical word that comes up when you decide to purchase whatever type of learning system, whether it is an LMS, LXP, Learning Platform, Talent Development Platform, Employee Dev Platform (a tiny market, but it exists), or whatever a vendor spins their learning system as. Yet it is there. Dread. In the…
Frontline Workers + Online Learning – Does it work?
I don’t know about you, but I remember you from my first job. I was 16 years old. I was hired by a department chain (name not to be released because they are out of business now, and I can’t fully recall it). Rather than placing me into the music section, a dream for any 16-year-old,…

ChatGPT, Gen-AI and Learning Systems – The Latest
Last week, I attended a conference in Amsterdam. The conference? World of AI Summit (as in Artificial Intelligence). While, as with any conference, there were good sessions, especially the opening sessions in the morning, I was a bit surprised at how many of the speakers never addressed a couple of points, including the “what happens…
LMS, LXP Functionality U Will Need in 2024
LMS. LXP. Learning Platform. Talent Development Platform, all slide under the umbrella term of learning systems. Yet each one of them have similarities in terms of functionality they will need in 2024. Sure, TDPs may go X route, while the others go Y route, but in the general sense of it, there are capabilities that…
Did you know? Learning Systems Vol 3
LMS aka Learning Management System. LXP – Learning Experience Platform. Learning Platform. Cohort-based learning platform. Employee Experience Platform (bad name for it). Employee Development Platform. There is a lot there for types of systems as I have noted before.

Q&A from Vendors – Learning Systems Edition
It is kind of weird. So many sites that list Q&A’s – mine included, look at it from the reader’s standpoint – what I refer to as consumers, even though they may have an audience consisting of PEs (Private Equity), outside their industry (C-Level and similar), vendors in the specific industry (e-learning) and sub-segments OR…
