Reader Mail (Support, Rankings, etc.)
Before diving into our semi-annual, readers question and answer, I’d like to talk about a subject near and dear to me – acquisitions. In the past few months, many of you probably have noticed a slight uptick in to the number of vendors who have been acquired either by another vendor in the market, or…
What is an LXP and why do I want one?
A colleague of mine attended a session this past week at ATD that covered LMS, LXP and LCMS (why LCMS was included? no idea). Anyway, he said that when the speaker asked how many people had heard of an LXP, only a couple of hands raised up. I wasn’t totally surprised, because what I find…
Ponder This in your LMS and LXP
I think people like to question the status quo. Well, some people do, and I readily admit I am one of those folks. It’s not like I sit here staring out onto the sea of Cortez contemplating whether a shark the size of a whale is out there (rumors say yes), but, I do more…
Types of Learning Systems
Let me ask you an honest question. What is your personality type? Are you a Type A? Maybe a Type B? I was once told by a CEO, that I was a Type A ultra even more so then her. I felt honored. I should have asked for a raise. The notion of types of…
#29 to #11 Learning Systems for 2019
You may have seen in the news or heard on your favorite social media channel who has received and or raised funding. For some people this is by far impressive on who got what, especially if it over 100M, and as an analyst, I concur. However, I always have to remember that plenty of systems…
Learning System Award Winners 2019
If you were in the nineties here in the states, and had a postal address, you likely received the Publisher’s Clearinghouse sweepstakes. I know I did. And every time I got it, I dreamed that a scratch card here for more choices, scratch card there – “What even more drawings?”, I knew this would be…

State of the E-Learning Industry 2019
Normally, folks write up a state of the industry at the end of that year (as I did for 2017). But as with everything else, thinking out of the box, screams for a tweak. And thus, comes the State of the E-Learning industry as rumble forward with 2019. What I have seen so far (covers…
Product Review – Percipio by Skillsoft
It might be a surprise to some folks who only know of Degreed, EdCast and Learn Amp, that there are quite a few LEP/LXPs on the market, which offer quite a bang for your budget. One of these platforms is Percipio by Skillsoft. The platform is still in the “potential phase”, but that doesn’t mean…
