In Two weeks
Web Conferencing – the Players, the Duds, the Newcomers – includes a directory of all the vendors out there. Article will include features that are standard, so you don’t get hooked into the hype.
Coming at the end of October 2010
People have been asking me for my top LMS vendors, and so, I will be providing my top 20 vendors. They will be selected on various factors, which will be listed. While every vendor, I am sure feels they have the best solution, IMO, there are 20 that stand out. Do they need to include social learning? They should, but that is just one of the factors.
I will tell you that two of my top 5 up and coming LMS vendors are not on that list, as over the past few months, I have seen others surpass them.
Web Site
I will be launching a web site the first week of November. This will be a site for E-Learn Info, my company, but will provide useful information – free. This will be in addition to my blog – which will always remain and be free.
Speaking Engagements
I will be presenting at BYOL on Nov. 10th-12th in NYC.
