Ask us anything. Really.

Key Points:

• Biggest issue is still interoperability, though we haven’t encountered many problems.
• Mobile learning is increasingly in demand. Offline use, and the JavaScript API are the main (API) problems to be solved.
• Currently have a portable LMS, runs off a flash drive.
• Our portable solution will work well without new standards.
• Customers are asking for social learning.
  • When having trouble in a section of a course, identify people in your network who did well.
  • LMS could provide access point and tracking for social networks.
• Learning will become much more individualized.

Key Points

• 90% of content loaded into our system is SCORM 1.2 — because it’s perceived as simple by our clients.
• Demand for SCORM 2004 support seems to be mainly as a “check-box”, something you’re supposed to have.
• Mining industry: simulating big trucks. Have objectives & interactions to track but don’t have a way to track them.
• Support for distributed content is our biggest issue.
• “Content as a Service”, need to manage IP, licensing, discovery of distributed content.
• API needs to keep track of what version of content is used. And report on it.
• Would be great to have an instructor API to allow an observer to indicate an objective has been met.
• Reporting API may make sense, but our clients aren’t asking for it.
• System integrations generally consist of passing certification status (yes or no).
• Discovery, license, and use of content needs to become more like buying an iPhone app for your organization.
• Cross-platform will be big
• SCORM should have a mission statement, and a roadmap, that should allow people to feel more comfortable putting effort into it.

Key Points:

• Our content is constantly updating, so we need to keep control of it on our servers.  This doesn’t work well with SCORM.
• We provide the ability to personalize the content, mix and match assets as desired, quickly.
• For customers who do want SCORM tracking, we develop a way to send that data for each customer.
• Everyone always uses the latest version of the content.
• Recording informal learning — message boards, instant messages, is important for preserving knowledge.
• Looking into mobile, at least tablets.
• Providing “just in time” searchable access information, doesn’t have to be taken all at once as large courses.
• New API should make use of open source.

Key Points:

• Current LMSs focus too much on Management, not enough on Learning
• Need to customize the learning experience not just by learning need but also by learner type
• LMSs should be able to design, offer and track informal learning such as job shadowing or mentoring
• There is a great need to make user generated learning / content available through a standard LMS.
• LMSs should evolve into Personal Learning Environment (PLEs) or enable them
• Learning Management Systems should evolve into Learning Network Management Systems
• There is too much focus on measurement – is there a need to measure every click, every page view, every second spent within the course
• Learning is evolving from being more personal and less organization driven
• As organizations pass on the learning responsibilities to the learner, the need to track and report may reduce.
• Newer concepts such as MOOCs should be available through the LMS
• Integration of mobile devices and tablets is a clear need – apps for mobile platforms, Kindle, tablet versions etc
• LMSs should help individuals find more information within their
