- Learning Systems Aha’s and Perspectives: Here are my takeaways from a deep dive on Learning Systems with 201 learning leaders in Chicago last week:
- A high degree of mild to low satisfaction with current Learning Systems (LMS, LCMS and More).
- Even though, very few organizations are doing a major replacement of their LMS.
- Key strategies are focused on adding “layers” on top of the LMS – to add new capacities like video, competencies or content curation.
- High desire to add better Assessment and Certification strategies to Learning Systems.
- Desire for “Learning Apps” that would either add to the LMS or give an individual learner a more personalized access to the systems.
- Intrigue with xAPI for a common learning data standard – but most organizations are still exploring and experimenting with xAPI.
- Rapid increase in the use of Video Content – from external sites (eg. TED) and internal user created video.
- Push to have the LMS being able to help Personalize more content and learning experiences.
- Desire to look towards innovations at the K-12 and Higher Education for models of Learning Systems (eg. Khan Academy)
