#GuildChat Readdress the LMS
On Friday, quite by accident, I stumbled upon #GuildChat. The topic was the Learning Management System (LMS) AKA Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Here's the story.
eLearning Guild (@eLearningGuild) | TwitterThe latest Tweets from eLearning Guild (@eLearningGuild). Community & Resources for eLearning Professionals. USA- #GuildChat is TODAY! Our topic: Readdress the LMS - Join us! 11am PT/2pm ET #elguild
- Okay, under 10 min to go until the next #GuildChat flurry of tweets!
- We're talking about the LMS in today's #GuildChat, featuring @eGeeking! 4 minutes to start time! pic.twitter.com/jBKzfNHydg
- Welcome to #GuildChat everyone! Happy Friday!
- Please take a moment to introduce yourselves. Tell us what you're working on these days. #GuildChat
- @eLearningGuild indeed! Happy Friday!! #guildchat
- Remember to use the hashtag #GuildChat for all your Tweets. Our first question will be up in just 2 minutes!
- Happy Friday! Chad Lowry, Client Education Manager. Just heard a pitch about Sales Force's Communities platform. #guildchat
- @eLearningGuild Bill Bollenbach -- training clients -- refining a blended learning approach #guildchat
- @ChadSLowry a pitch eh? #guildchat
- Bianca Woods from sunny Toronto, Canada! Working on finishing up the 1st full week of the new job. :) #GuildChat
- @eGeeking Nice to see you again :) #guildchat
- Q1. What are the greatest benefits of the LMS for organizations? #GuildChat
- @britz Yes, we're just starting on the topic, and we already use their Sales & Service modules, so it seems a natural fit. #guildchat
- Howdy #GuildChat! JD in Orlando, FL. Learning geek w/ @Axonify. Lots of talk around org knowledge sharing this week. https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718499062190903296 …
- A1) I should note my org. does not use an LMS, so many answers today will be hypothetical/theoretical/anecdotal. #guildchat
- Don Bolen, Marietta, GA, working on a global on boarding and induction project #GuildChat
- @dbolen Welcome Don #guildchat
- @ChadSLowry I was one of the rare ppl who fended off the LMS successfully in the past :) #guildchat
- Hello! Alexander Salas LnD elearning expert Gr8 to b here #GuildChat
- A1) Best benefits I can imagine are tracking not just who's completed what, but who hasn't completed what. What stopped them? #guildchat
- For our organization -- as we use it for client training - is a consistent process and tracking of work #guildchat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718499741248724992 …
- @britz Wish I could claim such insight, but it's really just that we've never had our act together enough to pull it off. #guildchat
- A1. Benefits are like most "systems" - organization, automation, consistency, and control #guildchat
- A1 In a perfect world it can be a single place people know to go to for content... #GuildChat
- @ChadSLowry usually what stopped them was the desire not to experience the pain and drain of a compliance course :\ #guildchat
- ours is very limited and only 2 months out the door..... #guildchat https://twitter.com/ChadSLowry/status/718500131654524928 …
- A1 no longer in the LMS business per se, working with those in client orbs. Primary use is delivering elearning and tracking #GuildChat
- @eLearningGuild Completion-tracking more than anything else. #GuildChat
- ... and, having just left a bank, I'm very aware of how important the tracking capabilities are for legal compliance #GuildChat
- A1) When used intelligently, actionable data and paperless repository of all org training activities #GuildChat https://twitter.com/elearningguild/status/718499741248724992 …
- @eLearningGuild Q1A: Breakthrough the LMS but use as portal to new ideas & resources #GuildChat
- @ChadSLowry good pt to that the system can help see where gaps are, may be useful to improve content/approach #guildchat
- A1) @eGeeking Do you see an LMS serving double duty as an EPSS, too, then? As in, it should have those capabilities as well? #guildchat
- @ConstantLearnin Welcome John #guildchat
- A1 in current project, don't quite know yet what we'll find across the globe, suspect great variation #GuildChat
- Q2. What are the greatest drawbacks of the LMS? #GuildChat
- A1) It's REALLY good at checking of the boxes ... And some people still need/value that ... #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718499741248724992 …
- RT @eLearningGuild Q2. What are the greatest drawbacks of the LMS? #GuildChat
- A1 Depends on the org & its priorities. Hopefully we're not all one size fits all #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718499741248724992 …
- A1. To be honest, the way LMS'es are used today, I don't see a lot of benefits (for users), only a lot of frustration. #GuildChat
- @eLearningGuild #GuildChat can be too prescriptive.
- A2. How it changes mindsets to shift efforts to control, contain and measure something that cannot be easily measured #guildchat
- @eLearningGuild A2: Maintenance! That includes registering participants, keeping everything looking nice, house-cleaning. #GuildChat
- A2) In 140 characters ... Wow! The ultimate Twitter communication challenge! :-) #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718501475119407107 …
- @britz Thanks Mark. Almost missed it. #GuildChat
- A2) Resource drain, although perhaps necessary. If you're going to bother to create content, may as well see if it's being used. #guildchat
- A2) It creates a PLACE for learning + subsequent mentality that doesn't align with the way work is done #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718501475119407107 …
- A2 Terrible UX/UI on most of the options out there. Not a lot of thought about what the user needs & how to make it easy. #GuildChat
- limitations on easy change, missing features for efficiency, confusion of use by learner, expense #guildchat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718501475119407107 …
- A2) In my experience it all has to do with poor selection and implementation #GuildChat https://twitter.com/elearningguild/status/718501475119407107 …
- A2) Biggest drawback where I am now is that is drives content. Will it work with the LMS? not Is that the right solution? #guildchat
- A2 When an org doesn't think out how it needs its LMS to work, it leads to years of disenchanted users #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718501475119407107 …
- A2) No one really needs their LMS to do their job every day ... and that's a poor use of workplace technology #GuildChat
- A2 Usually VERY limited in what learning experiences it can support/host/track. #GuildChat
- A1) There is some value to tracking completions, common launch pad, creating paths. #guildchat
- A2) Administratively burdensome, minimal data collection/reporting, UI/UX from 1998, bolt-on functionality that makes no sense #GuildChat
- @eGeeking Agree. It would be great to make an LMS that is hackable ;) #GuildChat
- @heikan2003 Most LMS platforms just aren't keeping up with content and tech innovations. Leads to constantly being behind curve #GuildChat
- A2. In lots of organisations LMS'es are a lust for a few and a burden for all the rest. It's unfortunately only about poor stats. #guildchat
- @StyleLearn right...often people don't have an understanding of the org needs #guildchat
- A2 user experience is poor, suboptiminal , sucks #GuildChat
- A2. Well, that sums it all up! #GuildChat https://twitter.com/JD_Dillon/status/718502459816206337 …
- @JD_Dillon Oh, you've met our IS department #GuildChat
- A2 Your records don't follow you when you leave the company (and their LMS) #GuildChat
- @britz Those who fail often never start with org needs #GuildChat
- A2) Most are just a web front end for a database. They don’t consider the user experience. #GuildChat
- @MathVermeulen sometimes thought of as better than what we had before - no stats #guildchat
- A2 A lot of LMSs I've used are designed to make reporting easier, not about helping people who want to learn things #GuildChat
- A1. It often tries to be all things for everyone and fail at both #guildchat
- @ConstantLearnin Well & where I am they use Oracle. No one knows how stuff was created in it. etc. #guildchat
- Q3. What do you wish the LMS could do better or differently? #GuildChat
- #GuildChat In bygone days of live video w/ satellite up link, a colleague's job was "feeding the white elephant"... 1/3
- @AlwaysBreaking I find that the user experience is frozen in time, which makes the LMS always seem antiquated. #GuildChat
- This is probably the easiest question in #GuildChat history. We could do Q2 all day! ;)
- @billbollenbach But does it really help organisations better than in the no-stat era? #GuildChat
- BOOM! said that in a mtg last week and got deer in headlight look. #guildchat https://twitter.com/AlwaysBreaking/status/718502842705707009 …
- @eGeeking the LMS of today exports your records. I think orgs just don't do it #GuildChat https://twitter.com/egeeking/status/718502729023418368 …
- #GuildChat 2/3 ...finding stuff to do with it to amortize its acquisition and upkeep..
- @eGeeking I would argue that in most companies the records were not for you to begin with. #guildchat
- A3) Integrate within tools + resources used on the job every day within the context of the work #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718503194977026049 …
- @megajim Yeah, it’s a paradigm from the late 1990’s that hasn’t evolved. People only put up with it because they have to. #GuildChat
- #GuildChat 3/3 ...fortunately with an LMS that never happens. ;-)
- A3) Merge learning data with business data to identify meaningful insights into performance and outcomes #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718503194977026049 …
- @eLearningGuild A3: Integrate with other communication platforms in more of a "push" way - you don't go to LMS, it comes to you. #GuildChat
- A3) Not charge per user, but by lesson. Pay only for what is consumed; would force us to develop content that succeeds 1st time. #guildchat
- Orgs that won't budget payroll for users to learn think LMS will condense downtime. However, you get what you pay for... #GuildChat
- A3 Be more focused on the user experience (and how to prevent the LMS from getting in the way of it) #GuildChat
- A3) Look and feel like the tech we use to share and consume info at home every day #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718503194977026049 …
- A1: the know where their learners and teachers are supposed to be. #GuildChat
- A2: they try to do too much themselves and constrain rather than promote innovation: #GuildChat
- A3 LMS platforms should give users a reason to interact, not just to show up when learning is assigned #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718503194977026049 …
- @heikan2003 @AlwaysBreaking @AbsorbLMS and @growthengineer @schooX do very well across devices ux/ui #GuildChat
- A3. Better UX and UI, less focus on reporting, more on end users. And change name to TMS: Training Management System. #GuildChat
- @MathVermeulen CDS ... Course Distribution System #guildchat
- A3) Drop the unfamiliar terminology and concepts like transcripts, launching stuff, enrollments, etc. #GuildChat
- A3) Incorporate the reporting mngt wants, course & perf support in a user friendly fashion #guildchat
- @eLearningGuild provide for a more flexible way for learners to demonstrate learning - contribute what already known in community #guildchat
- A3) I would be happy to not have an LMS but OSHA data of completions are necessary for biz. #guildchat
- A3. Strange question to be asked, but is there anyone in this chat who actually loves an LMS? :-) #GuildChat
- Q4. Why does the LMS continue to play a huge role in organizations? Do you see this changing? #GuildChat
- Here's the answer http://elearningindustry.com/lms-old-news-enter-era-elms … just beat 140 char 🤓 #GuildChat https://twitter.com/elearningguild/status/718503194977026049 …
- @eGeeking User history is still super cool (says the guy addicted to Swarm) - just use everyday language, not academic speak #GuildChat
- @heikan2003 The hoops we hop through for Asset Protection, Risk Mgmt & Legal tracking...I could write a book #GuildChat
- A4) Compliance is probably the biggest reason. It will change when we re-imagine offering evidence of understanding & outcomes. #guildchat
- A3) Provide actionable data reporting and insights that everyday users and managers can grab and run with #GuildChat
- A3: integrate with best-of-breed services … be an integrator of services rather than a monolith. #GuildChat
- @MathVermeulen I love the potential of what it can be. I don't love my current LMS #GuildChat
- A4) Many orgs just don't know any better, haven't taken the time to consider what learning can be #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718504932018634752 …
- certainly viewed as a cheaper more efficient way to teach content and measure learning #guildchat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718504932018634752 …
- @ConstantLearnin You should with a target of L&D people in the humor section. #guildchat
- A4) Given contracts + money invested to date, the big LMS isn't going away anytime soon ... But ... #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718504932018634752 …
- A4 Laziness, budget constraints, lack of innovative initiative in orgs, we've always done it this way #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718504932018634752 …
- A4) Compliance courses. Aside from that I needed to document, track, analyze and report LnD efforts #GuildChat https://twitter.com/elearningguild/status/718504932018634752 …
- @eLearningGuild Organizations need frameworks. LMS is geared to training, an easy way for an org to think of a "training" bucket. #GuildChat
- A4) Users and orgs are finding new tools to supplement bad LMS tech, leading to potential replacement in the future #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin They promise heaven and give us hell :-) #GuildChat
- A4) Honestly here it is to track compliance courses both f2f & elearning. #guildchat
- A4: once you've paid for it you feel compelled to use it. #GuildChat
- A4) No one wants to go through a new implementation. Migrating to new systems is a long, painful process. #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718504932018634752 …
- @heikan2003 Heh...is that a market? I may have found my calling! #GuildChat
- A4 Compliance, that's for sure. #GuildChat
- A4 A lot of money and time has been invested so it's hard to change or justify change ... "no one got fired for buying ..." #GuildChat
- A4 Also, there are a lot of ppl who see learning as just things you can track in an LMS, so they don't see the need to change #GuildChat
- A4 probably not given the company blood and treasure invested, esp those > 100K EE #GuildChat
- @cpjobling THAT is so true. $spent so we can't go back now. Like Tim Gunn, "make it work." #guildchat
- A4) Now is the perfect time to leave the LMS and pursue an eLMS. Thnx to HTML5 CSS3 social, ex, expert forums learning #GuildChat
- A4. We still use LMSs because they're good at delivering courses. That's why we need them now. And will need them in the future. #GuildChat
- @eGeeking hello enginerds. #guildchat
- I was late and should introduce myself: Chris Jobling, @SwanseaUni UK -- long time battler with a VLE/LMS that shall remain anon #guildchat
- Q5. Do some organizations require an LMS? Explain? #GuildChat
- @cpjobling Welcome Chris. Glad you could jump in #guildchat
- @cpjobling Can you at least tell us what it rhymes with? #guildchat
- A5 It's been mentioned throughout, but much of the reason we have to have is for compliance training data #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718506502663888896 …
- A5 Logically, places legally required to show certain training has taken place do benefit from an LMS. #GuildChat
- A5) I think THEY think they do. True needs are not tied to specific tech, can be resolved other ways #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718506502663888896 …
- RT @eGeeking A5 Logically, places legally required to show certain training has taken place do benefit from an LMS. #GuildChat
- A5) For what it does, here yes. Folks across country can access, we can track it. #guildchat
- @eLearningGuild A5: I'm an academic, so it goes with the territory (unless you want 300 faculty doing their own thing). #GuildChat
- A5) The data in the LMS is the requirement, not the LMS itself. LMS is just the tracking vehicle. #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718506502663888896 …
- A5) Some of the traditional functionality may be desired to support right-fit learning strategies - but not necessarily an LMS #GuildChat
- We also have clients that request reports from it before we get the contract. #guildchat https://twitter.com/britz/status/718506965010423808 …
- @StyleLearn I had this bookmarked to read. Thanks for reminding me to make it so. This is my ideal type of platform #GuildChat
- @MathVermeulen not sure that it does -- certainly like a lot of things it jut becomes institutionalized #guildchat
- I'm late as well @cpjobling and just getting used to this chat interaction. Liz Woodward, Learning Strategist with CGS #guildchat
- Tracking and storage in some cases. #guildchat I would like a better one. https://twitter.com/AlwaysBreaking/status/718507096384217089 …
- A5 many orgs require some centralized training system of record - proof, tick the box, etc. LMS serves that function #GuildChat
- A2) @mohammadhassam @eLearningGuild there are many solutions that already provide what you mention. coaching forums etc #GuildChat
- Agreed! Some of the functionality is great for some situations. Doesn't HAVE to be in a trad. LMS though. #GuildChat https://twitter.com/JD_Dillon/status/718507141854818304 …
- Excellent point & perspective #GuildChat https://twitter.com/AlwaysBreaking/status/718507096384217089 …
- @dbolen That "tick the box" thing is usually what sets me on fire I admit. #guildchat
- @JD_Dillon @eLearningGuild So true! Don't confuse what is needed with how it's done. The "how" isn't a requirement. #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin thnx I look fwd to feedback. It's a great time in tech🤓#GuildChat
- A5: ours is primarily a content repository that provides some structure & guidelines. It's not (yet) part of the SIS really. #guildchat
- The general vibe here is not a positive one towards the LMS... and yet there are numerous companies sell & using and its growing #guildchat
- Q6. If you were starting a learning function today, would you secure an LMS? Why or why not? #GuildChat
- @britz ... true but the market is still relatively small compared to say, Office 365. #guildchat
- A5) @Tracy_Parish showed great WordPress use for course at #devlearn Could not get team to look due to "not in LMS" #guildchat
- @ConstantLearnin the data typically tells us who did/didn't complete and scores... it cannot live up to the "L" in its label tho #guildchat
- @britz I think part of it is the new platforms are starting to see the potential. All of us are already landlocked in the old #GuildChat
- @britz I would not say I am negative toward LMS. Just the one here & how it is used. #guildchat
- I do think role of the LMS will change longer term thinking in terms of enablement vs training, demo of biz value @eLearningGuild #GuildChat
- @britz It makes you wonder, is the failure in the principle or the implementation? #GuildChat
- so much of it would seem to depend on the tool itself -is "LMS: too broad a topic to effectively interact?#guildchat https://twitter.com/britz/status/718507864365666304 …
- A5) HR usually is the culprit because orgs need to show compliance. LnD pays the price because of this #GuildChat https://twitter.com/elearningguild/status/718506502663888896 …
- A6) Probably not. I'd rather prioritize a system that allows me to measure before/after business outcomes. #guildchat
- A6) No. Absolutely no. I would implement an LRS and use xAPI. I never want to use SCORM again. #guildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718508040782278656 …
- A6) I would. Mngt outside our area respond to data an LMS can provide. Have to direct them to the "right" data, not ALL data. #guildchat
- @SimonBlairTrain often its the wrong tool used for the "problem" #guildchat
- A5. That's the strange & fun contradiction during conferences: anti-LMS sessions vs pro-LMS expo hall :-) #Guildchat https://twitter.com/britz/status/718507864365666304 …
- A6) I would secure the tools + resources that help people do their jobs + solve our business problems #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718508040782278656 …
- A6 I'd probably want something that was more user-focused and could track a wider range of experiences for them, not me #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin this is true. Many locked in, part of the bigger system now #guildchat
- A5 If platform fit needs & allowed for expanded functionality, I'm game. Right tech for right situation #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718508040782278656 …
- @StyleLearn Well or no one bothered to chat with IT prior to getting one. #guildchat
- @britz When the only tool you have is a hammer... #GuildChat
- A5) How do you resolve compliance out of an LMS? The path of less resistance my friend... #GuildChat https://twitter.com/jd_dillon/status/718506946450624513 …
- A6 if I had a completely free hand and plenty of time I'd prefer to use something else ... #guildchat
- @britz I rage against the compliance data machine regularly, and I lose because of budget/lack of innovation/industry standards #GuildChat
#GuildChat A6 A central store to capture knowledge not an LMS that only manages courses. pic.twitter.com/RSch8u9leF- A6. At my last employer we bypassed LMS for Social Platform. Placed people, not content/courses at the center #guildchat
- A6 ... but I don't want to risk confusing my students so I seek integration points with 3rd-party tech. #guildchat
- need some type of system, but still trying to figure out what is the best for us -- like so much of tech-fast change #guildchat
- @eLearningGuild #GuildChat Something personalized to the learner, help them track their networked digital identity & contributions.
- @SimonBlairTrain @britz I don't wonder...I believe that most of the time it's the implementation w/out proper needs analysis #GuildChat
- @heikan2003 Good one, however IT may not be familiar with edtech lndtech just spent 3 mo to get captivate installed right 😱 #GuildChat
- @britz #GuildChat Yes, I want to work with that kind of mission.
- @britz internal - external focus is part of the equation as well #guildchat
- Q7. If you could replace an LMS which technology(s) would you swap it for? Why? #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin @SimonBlairTrain even the name itself is inviting to execs. "Management" is the LMS's middle name #guildchat
- I would love that, at the right company. It would not be a fit here due to legal issues. #guildchat https://twitter.com/britz/status/718509293386010625 …
- @cpjobling Only one free hand? That's a big hand you've got! ;) #GuildChat
- @StyleLearn @JD_Dillon With a spreadsheet or a database? Both are easily searchable and can cater to reporting. #GuildChat
- Times are also changing - demand for agility, quick sharing, quick and easy access are critical @SimonBlairTrain @britz #GuildChat
- @billbollenbach Yes Bill, correct. We were not focused on customer education #guildchat
- A7) What do people find most useful within the context? Likely collaborative + targeted resources #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718509767078060032 …
- A7) Something more predictive based on the person, and less stochastic. #guildchat
- A7: Microsoft OneNote Classroom Notebook has some interesting features. And I've seen great courses delivered using WordPress. #guildchat
- A7) Sounds like most people would trade their LMS for a shake machine. #guildchat
- @SimonBlairTrain those are great ideas but, not acceptable or practical in large enterprises #GuildChat https://twitter.com/simonblairtrain/status/718509858257940480 …
- A7. I've seen some niffy home-made portals. Low friction on the workflow #guildchat
- A7 Social platform that connected users w/content, kindred spirits & resources. No data allowed! #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718509767078060032 …
- #guildchat A7 Baseball cards. Use 'em like #cuerockstar participants use shred sessions to learn about training. Trade 'em with peers, etc..
- @ChadSLowry It's lunchtime...please don't tempt me, but yes. Totally. #GuildChat
- #guildchat A7 When compliance time rolls around spread your baseball (training) cards on the table to show what you got.
- @edtechinsight Honestly the selling point was share analysis of how work was being done and the level of expertise in workforce #guildchat
- A7. Something like Degreed, more user focused, with lots of integrations, ... in combination with an LRS. #GuildChat
- A7) I actually think community platforms like Jive or Lithium would work better, with xAPI integration. #GuildChat
- Yes @britz We're moving to greater need for connecting people, collaboratively sharing content (knowledge/skills), experiences #guildchat
- @britz You don't have to name, but curious what type of org that was #GuildChat
- A7 I've been liking the idea of personal learning portfolios like Degreed that are user-focused, but employers can tap into #GuildChat
- A7. Even better: Degreed meets LRS meets Slack. #GuildChat
- @liz_woodward The need is always there right? The culture often unwilling... #guildchat
- A7) A website with SQL DBs in the back end... oh snap! #GuildChat
- A7: you could really geek out with something like "course in a box" ( http://howto.p2pu.org/ ) and host your course on GitHub! #guildchat
- #guildchat A6 No. I'd try n sell the powers that be (PTB) on the idea of a YouTube-like LMS where thems that knows makes the trainings..
- @StyleLearn @JD_Dillon If you say so. I've seen DBs with millions of records and hundreds/thousands of concurrent connections. #GuildChat
- @AlwaysBreaking My only concern with a community platform is that the execs have to see distinction between learning & support. #guildchat
- A7) Help people find and share content and experiences, build support and structure only where needed #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin IT healthcare org. Large US Gov't contracts #guildchat
- @britz Transparency is an important value to cultivate. Well done. #guildchat
- #guildchat A1 LMSs keep the people who maintain them employed.
- @edtechinsight I believe orgs have a better shot to maintain openness/transparency when small than shift to it when large #guildchat
- #guildchat A2 LMSs add a layer of abstraction between thems that needs to learn and thems that produce the learning. Tech gets in the way..
- @urbie Content sharing in social learning-based LMS platforms do that. We as L&D are not the SMEs, so let the SMEs run the joint #GuildChat
- Q8. The LMS continues to evolve. What do you see as future capabilities of the LMS? #GuildChat
- @SimonBlairTrain @JD_Dillon me too! I write SQL Would I rather get a SaaS technology or hire a dBa to maintain my nonlms DB #GuildChat
- Why am I late to #guildchat? Kiddo found a lizard in the house. For a little while I was a kid again hunting lizards. They still feel cool.
- A8) Fail a course twice = here's a resource near you who aced it the first time; ask that person for help. #guildchat
- @urbie and your checkbook for all the fines 😄😄😄⚾️ #GuildChat
- A8) Less one-size-fits-all tech, instead focus on specific capability + use cases #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718511605164716034 …
- A8 Love the idea of customized content offerings: based on proficiencies, content offered to fill in gaps #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718511605164716034 …
- . @britz I've seen a greater imperative to reduce the middleman and anything that drags down the pace. Social hastens. #guildchat
- A8) On-demand knowledge access, sharing and collaboration capability, right-size content #GuildChat https://twitter.com/eLearningGuild/status/718511605164716034 …
- @ChadSLowry Oh I would like that. #guildchat
- #guildchat A8 LMSs need to get a lot easier to use for tracking/reporting. The whole register-for-credit (RFC) doesn't work for some T-POPs.
- @ChadSLowry Right there with you. Why waste a SME's time because you need to set a baseline for all #GuildChat
- A8. I see xAPI weaving in, record portability, better tie in to other systems rather than the typical monolith #guildchat
- A8) General ease of use improvements. Better connections to other tech. #guildchat
- @StyleLearn #guildchat There has to be another way. Maybe LMSs make us lazy/complacent so we don't bother to look?
- A8 I'd love to see Amazon-like recommendations. "Like this content? You might also like..." #GuildChat
- A8: it becomes invisible. More an operating system to support learning than an app. A network not a node. #guildchat
- @liz_woodward hierarchies to wirearchies perhaps? :) #guildchat
- A8) Merging learning tech with working tech; also learning data with business data to gain greater insight into performance #GuildChat
- @ChadSLowry Actually meant response for somethin else, but the idea of customized learning pairs up nicely w/this #GuildChat
- @eGeeking We've asked our LMS provider for this, and they're working on it #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin I'll take it! #guildchat
- Mobile, Video and Perf. Support will be the focus at the FocusOn Conf & Expo in June. More here http://bit.ly/1Rcmjtk #GuildChat #elguild
- @urbie To be honest whether you do it in paper or electronic you still have to manage and that takes people... LMS or not 🤔 #GuildChat
- A8. More learning, less management. #GuildChat
- @eGeeking you are not going to like me but, that's already available 🤓 oops #GuildChat
- @StyleLearn @urbie We find that paper doesn't get tracked as thoroughly across hundreds of locations, so we use LMS as crutch #GuildChat
- I think this thinking wins the day #GuildChat https://twitter.com/MathVermeulen/status/718513206067650560 …
- Thanks #GuildChat! Hope to cya at FocusOn in a few months. Til then checkout http://jddillon.com + http://axonify.com
- great conversation/sharing today. I think we hit a nerve ;) Thanks for joining in! See you all next week #guildchat
- Thanks for joining today! Be sure to check out the TWIST blog for our next topic: http://dld.bz/dwMFf #GuildChat
- @StyleLearn #guildchat It's over-reliance on LMS tech piece that bothers me. discourages [messy] communication. Learning's not a transaction
- Great chat ! Thought provoking topic... thanks all!! #guildchat
- A8) Graphic Display Analytics. if your LMS report is an Excel export it's time for a new eLMS #timesaver #GuildChat
- Thanks everyone for always making Friday a good one due to #guildchat
- @StyleLearn #guildchat People have a lot more empathy than any LMS I've worked with
- @ConstantLearnin @StyleLearn And I get that piece. But when's the last time L&D teamed up with others within the org to work it? #guildchat
- Future "LMS" will address enablement as microservices, social, experiences, smaller bites, ties to business goals @eLearningGuild #GuildChat
- Well, that's it for #GuildChat. I now bring you back to your usual tweets about wishing the snow in Toronto would go away already.
- @urbie absolutely but there's nothing wrong with symbiosis between people n tech n learning 🤓#GuildChat
- So glad I made it back to the office for #GuildChat. Great conversation on LMS frustrations/potential. See y'all next time!
- Awesome chat today! @StyleLearn out! 😎🤗 #GuildChat
- @urbie @StyleLearn Ideally L&D shouldn't be involved in tracking compliance. You probably know how that story ends #GuildChat
- @heikan2003 Thanks for the mention Heidi. We continue to use it for a few initiatives that our LMS can't handle. #guildchat
- @ChadSLowry Learning and support go hand-in-hand. If you do enough for learning, then support should be reduced. #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin @urbie @StyleLearn Here's a timely article to today's #GuildChat https://www.edsurge.com/news/2016-04-08-the-trouble-with-learning-management … Trim the fat ;)
- @edtechinsight @StyleLearn @urbie Thanks for sharing. I wish there was more intersection between business and academia. #GuildChat
- @eLearningGuild Looks like I missed a great #guildchat. Relevant, but I was driving home from a week of LMS demos for new implementation!
- @ConstantLearnin @britz I do. When then talent providers acquired the tier one LMS providers innovation stalled opening the door! #GuildChat
- @ConstantLearnin @britz Good LMS PMs always in demand - With so many new vendors in space, not enough expertise to go around! #GuildChat
