The Truth and Realities of E-Learning
LMS/LCMS vendors are now pitching mobile learning, social learning and everything you can imagine, yet they still are living in a time warp from the 1980’s when it comes to great service to the client/customer, true emerging technology and real time support.
While the rage in the m-learning industry is focusing on Smartphones, I believe the real player in the market will be the e-reader, which offers enormous possibilities and features that will truly incorporate the essence of e-learning.
Interoperability is the golden premise in any SCORM LMS/LCMS system. However, if often fails to live up to its billing, and what you have instead is the necessary requirement of tweaking code or making tweaks in your off the shelf courses or 3rd party developer courses prior to uploading them/integrating them into your LMS/LCMS.
Let’s get right to the chase. You have a LCMS/LMS. You generate reports about your employees or customers or both
One of the main reasons people purchase a LMS is for data and yet very few people ever ask questions regarding data uploads, time or format. Worse, they purchase a system, only to find out later that as a result of failing to ask the right questions, they are stuck with a system that is only causing them heartaches rather than joy.
Any e-learning solution is always enhanced with a strong web conferencing system. But before you select your wc vendor, you will want to find out if the “must-haves” exist, what are their capabilities and how you can utilize them to maximize the effectiveness of your learning program. This week’s topic focuses on the “record” capability.
You have decided on the LMS for your company and it is time to finalize, sign and go to the next phase. But before you sign, there are items you need to make sure are included in your contract, negotiated if need be, and things you need to know before you close the deal.
When people decide to purchase/lease a LMS/LCMS they often are unaware of how the seat premise works. The seats mechanism most commonly appears in LMS/LCMSs, web conferencing and off the shelf courseware.
