RE: Learning Systems Under Stress?
Learning Systems (LMS, LCMS and Collaborative Systems) are feeling a bit stretched these days.
Content is changing rapidly:
- Rapid Development of Content
- UserContent (eg. PodCasts and Video Segments)
- Performance Support Tools
- Collaborative Tools
Learners are evolving dramatically:
- Older, Retiring (or Not Retiring) Workers
- Newer, Next Generation Workforce
- More Global Learners
Learning Systems Are Stretched:
- Legacy Systems Optimized for Just e-Learning
- No Content Management Capability
- Pre-Compliance Requirements
- Ready to Leverage Web 2.0 and Social Networking?
Budgets for Learning Are Tighter!
- Many LMS Contracts are Stalled
- Doing More for Less
- Assessment and Metrics Needed
