  1. Smart App \u2013 While we are all enthralled about mobile learning and specifically native apps for tablets (which is cool), you may not be aware that one vendor has launched an app for a Smart TV.\u00a0 These are the HDTVs that connect via WiFi to the internet.\u00a0 The same internet whereas this vendor\u2019s LMS resides.<\/li>\n
  2. Online Storage \u2013 Many of you , may already be using some type of online storage for your photos, files and important documents. So, what is unique about this? Virtually no LMS vendors were doing it prior to six months ago.\u00a0 Now, some are doing what they should be doing \u2013 having it in their system.\u00a0 I\u2019m not talking about a vendor whose system is based on providing your storage \u2013 say 25GB, rather, I\u2019m saying LMS vendors who are providing each learner an online storage to do what they are doing already \u2013 posting video clips, documents, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. Adaptive\u00a0Learning \u2013 Considered to be holy grail in e-learning courses.\u00a0 Two content authoring tool vendors are making it happen right now.\u00a0 If you remember the old days (okay the 70s and 80s) and the so-called \u201cadventure books\u201d, whereas depending on which route you went, the story would change, it is finally happening at the commercial level.\u00a0 In 2002, I provided adaptive learning to my learners but it was via a Flash course built by a custom development shop, not by an actual authoring tool.\u00a0\u00a0 Fast Forward to 2012 and zoom..it is now available in stores (just kidding) \u2013 its available online.<\/li>\n
  4. Dropbox and similar \u2013 Consumers have been using these types of services for years, but in the e-learning world the idea of offering these types of capabilities was always out of reach.\u00a0 Not anymore. Best of all, it wasn\u2019t because of mobile learning, rather, it was because many LMS vendors are realizing that if the consumer market is using it, maybe they should be to.<\/li>\n
  5. Video Management Systems\/Video E-Learning Platform – Both terms are utilizing the same tactic \u2013 you can create\/upload a video into their systems and offer your learners a multitude of features and capabilities.\u00a0 For the most part they offer the same capabilities (yes, they all offer a different feature or two), but only one vendor includes SCORM as part of their product.\u00a0To me, that vendor is the leader in the space and one I would want to use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
