Why Are There 100+ Commercial Learning Management Systems?
I just published a post to my corporate blog listing the 100 commercial learning management systems covered by Brandon Hall Research. There are a couple of interesting observations about this:
- The long-predicted consolidation in the learning management system space isn’t taking place.
- New systems appear to be coming to market at an accelerated pace.
- Some people are predicting that learning management systems will soon be replaced with informal learning methods. Obviously, technology developers don’t seem to think so. And, even in a slow economic climate, there must be a reasonably healthy market for this type of technology to support all of these products.
