The Truth and Realities of E-Learning
The days of spending over 50K for a nice LMS is a thing of the past. Today solid systems can be found for less than 10K but you will need to make some sacrifices. Most often in robustness of features and a more streamlined approach.
With so many product out in the market, now more than ever, it is imperative to find solutions that are innovative and provide a rich feature set for their end users. These products hit the mark.
LMSs will survive for years to come, but they must change, they must invigorate and innovate. With the number of vendors in the market, those that stand like stone or run in a wheel like a mouse, will watch their competitors race past them to garner a larger share of the market – the global market.
The LMS/LCMS market is split into three categories when it comes to social learning – do nothing, barely put your toes in the water or jump in. Those who do nothing or barely place their feet into the water are going to eventually see themselves isolated in this space.
99% of today’s web based training courses are nothing more than static content – text, with some photos or text with a video of someone talking next to it. End users get bored and rush through the course never to come back. You can make any topic fully interactive and engaging – so that your end users will comprehend, retain and synthesize the information. Best of all, you can do it at a low cost.
