Writings about learning, leadership & career development
Would recommendation engines be useful in LMSs?
Does the fact that your colleagues took a course or favorited it make it more likely that it will be valuable for you?
Are there LMSs or KM systems in the market that already do this (and do this well?)
Recently a former colleague took a leadership position in a Global Non-profit. Her charge is to standardize and implement a global “learning improvement program” for 21 different branches/affiliates in four regions (about 12 countries). One of her key priorities is to implement an LMS to track the training delivered. All of the managers in all locations have internet access, but not every employee has internet access.
What are her options?
– Hire a consultant to build an Access DB
– Approach a top-of-the-line LMS vendor and encourage them to sponsor an LMS
– Deploy an open source LMS like Moodle
– Deploy a cheap bare-bones LMS
What would you recommend? Any vendors you would suggest?
It’s quite simple really! All you need to do is view this presentation by Cathy Moore.
What I like about this presentation is that it (implicitly) admits the fact that we can’t change every online course into a Wii game right now and until we do that, we have to write courses that people will have to read – online.
So Cathy’s advice is useful today.
