Introduction

“Three-quarters of companies 'implement e-learning'.” From http://www.virtual-

college.co.uk/news/Threequarters-of-companies-implement-elearning-newsitems-

801215527.aspx. Nov. 19, 2011.

E-learning has become a way of life for many businesses. Figures for K-12 school

systems and universities are not available but I believe the adoption rate for them is

similar. It has become an essential channel for both formal and informal learning.

In 2012, corporate training was a $200 billion industry

. ELearning represented $56 billion

of that and is expected to double by 2015. The LMS market alone is expected to grow to

nearly $2 billion in 2013 and, according to MarketsandMarkets to over $7 billion by 2018.

This is a list of as many vendors of e-learning software as I can identify. It is not

possible to have a comprehensive and completely up-to-date list. Companies go in and

out of business and are purchased by other companies. Re-branding is a regular

occurrence. Many corporations and universities have built their own proprietary systems

and have made them available only in a limited way if at all. I have included vendors

that offer products that are commercially and readily available. The focus is on those

available in English and for which information is available on the World Wide Web.

Although there are many international vendors listed, the focus is on those available

readily in North America. As a result, there are numerous tools in other countries and

languages not listed here. The list evolves monthly as I learn of new products and

changes.

The demise of the LMS is a topic for discussion (see “Death of the LMS

” and

http://www.tonybates.ca/2012/04/04/why-learning-management-systems-are-not-going-

away/). The LMS is not going away but it is evolving and the addition of social media

and integration with other systems has made the categories very messy.

They are listed alphabetically by the name of the company in the categories:

•

Corporate Learning Management Systems (LMS)

• Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS)

• Course Authoring Tools

• Virtual Classrooms

• Generic (off-the-shelf) eLearning Courseware Vendors

• Education Learning Management Systems (ELMS). The term “Course

Management Systems” is often a term applied to Learning Management Systems

designed for educational environments but it is easily confused with Content

Management Systems. The term Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is also

used. This list is divided into “Commercial” (i.e. proprietary) and “Open Source”

systems.

• Apparently discontinued or changed products. Change happens. Companies go

in and out of business. Mergers take place. This list includes changes that I have

identified. It is included for those who may know products by their previous

names and are curious about their status.

Several vendors have complete suites of these tools so are listed several times. The

terms above are not mutually exclusive and different vendors may use different terms to

LMS and eLearning Vendors, March 2018

Introduction

describe their products. Some products were originally known by one name and have

been purchased by other companies or changed names. Sometimes the products are

listed under both names.

Listings are alphabetical by company name. If you only know the name of the product,

try a search. Countries of origin are frequently included. Where they are not included,

assume that they are based in the U.S. Canadian vendors are indicated by this highlight.

The top vendors in the market are highlighted in yellow. According to Bersin &

Associates (2009), “The six largest LMS product companies constitute approximately

50% of the market.” The report does not specify which six these are but the largest

vendors in the corporate market are:

• SAP SuccessFactors (SuccessFactors purchased Plateau and was then

purchased by SAP)

• Cornerstone OnDemand

• SumTotal (including GeoLearning) (now owned by Skillsoft)

• Saba

• Skillsoft Skillport – Skillsoft is the largest vendor of off-the-shelf courseware and

Skillport is primarily designed as a delivery tool for that courseware. Skillport may

be replaced with the new one – percipio.

• Oracle (they offer several solutions including Oracle Taleo Learn Cloud.

(Learn.com was purchased by Taleo which was then purchased by Oracle in Feb.

2012).

• Litmos by Callidus Cloud.

• IBM Smarter Workforce/Kenexa/Outstart (Kenexa purchased Outstart and was

then purchased by IBM).

• Meridian

• NetDimensions

• Topyx

The largest LMS in the education sector are

• Blackboard

• Brightspace (formerly Desire2Learn)

• Moodle (open source)

• Instructure Canvas (gaining traction on the above)

LMS and eLearning Vendors, March 2018

Introduction

Learning Management Systems (LMS)

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are included in two categories:

1. Corporate

2. Education

LMS manage learners and facilities, launch and track online learning and keep records

of the activity.

Corporate LMS usually include registration and management of classroom instruction as

well as eLearning management and delivery. Some corporate LMS add e-Commerce

capability and may include regulatory compliance, competency, performance, human

capital and talent management which link closely to Human Resources functions.

Corporate LMS tend to emphasize the management of asynchronous (self-directed)

online learning because there is no assumption that an instructor will always be present.

Course authoring and content management were not usually included in a corporate

LMS in the past except as part of a suite that included learning content management

(LCMS) but now, as more and more LMS include authoring, the disctinction between an

LMS and an LCMS has become hazy.

Educational institutions are usually already well equipped for registration and

management of classroom instruction so Education LMS tend to be primarily for online

learning and they usually provide course authoring and some content management

features. Consequently they sometimes call themselves LCMS. They are also called

Course Management Systems (CMS) or (less commonly today) Virtual Learning

Environments (VLE). They also emphasize communication and collaboration features.

They are generally built on the assumption that an instructor is always available to build

course content and to communicate with students.

This way of categorizing LMS is a bit arbitrary and there is a good deal of overlap

between them. Sometimes it has more to do with the way the vendors market their

products than the features they offer. Organizations looking for LMS should not ignore

the possibilities of using an LMS primarily focused on the other sector. For example,

corporate LMS can be very useful for educational institutions with a business focus such

as distance education units offering courses for sale. Open source products tend to be

most appropriate for educational institutions but many business enterprises have found

them useful as well.

To add to the confusion, many educational institutions and corporations brand their

systems differently within their organizations. For example, the University of Akron calls

its implementation of Desire2Learn “Springboard!”. This can make it difficult to find out

if an organization is using a commercial LMS or one they built for themselves.

As more and more corporate LMS add authoring and content management tools to their

LMS, the distinction between an LMS and an LCMS becomes rather hazy.

Common features of Learning Management Systems:

•

Online (eLearning) course launching and tracking.

•

Classroom instruction management is included in most full-fledged corporate

LMS but not in all and is not normally included in education LMS.

•

Blended learning is the ability to manage courses that mix online and classroom

instruction and is included in the more ambitious systems.

•

Talent management includes tools for recruitment, performance management,

compensation and benefits, succession, retention and career planning. They are

included in several of the most ambitious corporate systems but are not normally

LMS and eLearning Vendors, March 2018

Introduction

included in Education LMS.

•

Communication and collaboration (Web 2.0). These tools have long been

included as part of education LMS and more and more corporate LMS are

including them now. Also called social learning and networking.

•

eLearning development tools (authoring and publishing) are often included in

corporate LMS and are included in LCMS and education LMS.

•

Content management of internal course materials is normally part of LCMS and

education LMS and may be included as part of a suite.

•

Assessment and testing. The ability to produce tests and assessment both as

part of courses and separately is normally included as part of LCMS and

education LMS but only occasionally for corporate LMS.

•

Virtual classrooms. They are not normally included as part of an LMS but may

be included as part of a suite. Many LMS provide integration with third party

virtual classrooms.

•

E-Commerce. The ability to charge users for the courses internally and

externally is a feature which is being included in more and more systems.

Sometimes called extended enterprise when companies use their system to

extend their offerings to customers, suppliers, partners, etc.

•

Reporting. All good systems provide good reporting functions and the ability to

customize reports.

•

Mobile learning. Many vendors are beginning to add mobile learning

functionality to their LMS so learning can be accessed on smartphones and other

small mobile devices. Many offer “responsive” output that automatically adjusts

to the size of the viewing screen. Many mobile features are available as “apps”

for which there are many suppliers. I have not attempted to list them here.

• Social learning. Along with mobile learning, social learning (offering tools like

Facebook) is an important new offering which LMS providers are rushing to

include.

• SaaS (Software as a Service). Some Learning Management Systems are

offered as software that is installed internally in the organization (“behind the

firewall” or “on premise”). Some are offered as hosted or SaaS (Software as a

Service) solutions. The terms Cloud Computing and “on-demand” are also used

for this. Many are offered both ways. The major suppliers of cloud storage are

Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Rackspace but many companies provide their

own and there are several hundred in total. A company called Box

provides

unlimited cloud storage for higher education institutions that adopt Box through

the Internet2 NET+ initiative.

• E-learning standards: There are a variety of standards that exist to help

support interoperability of courses and applications. AICC, SCORM

(in several

versions – 1.2, 1.4, 2004), the new Tin Can/Experience API, IMS (including LTI –

Learning Tools Interoperability and, in higher education, another learning

analytics standard launched in 2015 – IMS Caliper), and others. Most LMS

subscribe to at least one of these standards but they should always be tested to

be sure that your course material works with them. Useful information can be

found at:

Talent Management Systems: Corporate learning management systems are

sometimes part of human resource information systems (HRIS). Many major LMS have

moved into talent management. Talent management includes recruitment, performance

management, compensation and benefits, succession, retention, career planning,

learning and development. As a rule, they are oriented to planning and do not provide

the day-to-day processing capabilities such as payroll. The terms human capital

management and workforce productivity are also used.

Talent management/LMS vendors listed below include Cornerstone OnDemand

Halogen Software, HRsmart, IBM Talent Management (aka Kenexa), Oracle Taleo, SAP

SuccessFactors, Saba, Silkroad, SumTotal Systems (a Skillsoft company), TEDS, and

Workday.

Other talent management systems include Centranum http://www.centranum.com/,

Ceridian http://www.ceridian.ca/, Cezanne Software http://www.cezannesw.com/,

EmployWise http://www.employwise.com/, Epic Software http://www.epic-soft.com/,

Exelsys http://www.exelsys.co.uk/, Kronos https://www.kronos.com/, Meta4

http://www.meta4.com/. NuView Systems http://www.nuviewinc.com/, PeopleFluent

http://www.peoplefluent.com/, Ramco Systems http://www.ramco.com/, Sage

http://na.sage.com/ (Their talent management solution is Cornerstone on Demand),

Ultimate Software http://www.ultimatesoftware.com/, Vana Workforce

http://www.vanaworkforce.com/, and Workday http://www.workday.com/.

Consolidation is accelerating in this area. ERP vendors have been purchasing talent

and learning management companies. ADP acquired Workscape in 2010. Taleo

purchased Learn.com in 2010 and then Oracle purchased Taleo/Learn.com in 2012.

Infor acquired Lawson in 2011. Ceridian bought Dayforce in 2012. SuccessFactors

purchased Plateau in May 2011 and then SAP purchased SuccessFactors/Plateau in

2012. In 2012 IBM bought Kenexa which had bought Outstart earlier in 2012. Skillsoft

purchased SumTotal in 2014. In October 2015, Workday announced that it would be

building its own LMS rather than buying one because “LMSs are broken”. It introduced

its new LMS in 2016. Saba purchased Halogen Software in 2017. This consolidation is

happening at the high end of the market. At the same time, many new lower cost LMS’s

are appearing.

Selection of an LMS

There are hundreds of possibilities. With all these choices, how can you find a single

LMS? The choice of an LMS is like that for any enterprise system. It can change the

culture of your organization. Due diligence is required.

There is no single best LMS. The best one for you is the one that best matches your

needs. Ideally, the process involves several steps – identifying needs, narrowing your

choices to perhaps five, conducting demos and trials if possible, issuing RFP’s (Request

for Proposals), and final selection. In addition to the features mentioned above consider

LMS and eLearning Vendors, March 2018

Introduction

cost and service. The LMS providers have become very creative about their business

models. It seems that no two of them charge for the same things in the same way. For

example, some charge for everyone registered in the system whether they use it or not,

others charge only for active users; some charge for hosting content, others do not.

There seem to be almost as many different pricing models as there are different LMS’s.

It is important to choose a system and pricing model that is consistent with your overall

business plan. One tool that you may find useful is The Corporate University Blueprint

Christopher Pappas has a useful article at http://elearningfeeds.com/the-insiders-guide-

to-learning-management-systems-pricing-models/. John Leh of Talented Learning has

excellent articles at http://talentedlearning.com/lms-license-models-what-in-the-world-is-

going-on/ and http://talentedlearning.com/public-lms-pricing-only-for-smb/.

Needs Assessment

• Form a committee that consists of at least one of each of the following –

o a company manager who has the power to make the decision

o a person who will be working as an administrator of the system

o an instructor

o a learner

o an IT person

o a consultant

• Identify and articulate your business and training goals and your training plan.

• Conduct surveys and interviews to identify the needs.

• Separate the must have’s from the nice to have’s.

• Develop learning scenarios that work for you and use them in the demos by the

vendors. Test them with your content if possible.

• Shortlist the vendors.

• Submit RFPs.

Notes:

Google and other search engines are arguably the greatest informal research and

learning tools that we have. Almost everyone involved in the knowledge industries,

teachers, students and many others consult them daily. In 2008, Google launched

Google Code University http://code.google.com/edu/

with sample course content and

tutorials for Computer Science (CS) students and educators on current computing

technologies and paradigms. In 2012, this became the Google Developers University

Consortium

https://developers.google.com/university/.

Social networking sites like Facebook, YouTube (owned by Google), Delicious, Twitter,

Wikipedia and many others are enjoying huge popularity. In 2010, Facebook first had

more hits than Google. More learning probably occurs using these tools than with all the

formal tools listed here. Many LMS vendors are adding social networking and informal

learning tools to their products.

Some organizations modify web content management systems to work as LMS. Web

content management systems are used to maintain complex web sites. They include

Microsoft Sharepoint, Drupal, Sitecore, OpenText, etc. For example, in 2011 the

American College of Cardiology launched a learning management system (LMS) built

with Sitecore's Web Content Management System (CMS) software by Velir Studios

In 2011, Terrence Wing wrote a popular article about the use of Facebook as an LMS.

system-infographics/. There is another infographic on the history of the LMS at

https://www.mindflash.com/learning-management-systems/history-of-lms/. Note that they

agree about the SoftArc release of FirstClass in 1990. FirstClass was eventually

absorbed by

OpenText but, while they still offer it, they have done little with it. Some of

the founders of FirstClass have started Edsby. The introduction of Training Partner (now

GeoTalent) by Geometrix in 1992 is also significant. Both SoftArc and Geometrix

were/are Canadian companies.

SumTotal Systems resulted from a merger between Click2Learn and Docent. They have

since purchased Pathlore and DK Systems. In June, 2009, SumTotal Systems was

acquired by Vista Equity Partners/Amber Holding. In 2010, SumTotal purchased

SoftScape and on January 5, 2011, they purchased GeoLearning. In July 2011, they

purchased CyberShift Inc. and Accero Inc. signifying a further expansion into

Talent/Human Resources Management.

In Oct, 2006, Skillsoft purchased NETg. Skillsoft purchased ElementK from NIIT in 2011

and Mindleaders in 2012 making it by far the largest supplier of online generic

courseware. Skillsoft offers the Skillport LMS and ElementK offered the KnowledgeHub

LMS. In March 2014, Skillsoft itself was purchased by Charterhouse Capital Partners for

a reported $2.3 billion! In 2014, Skillsoft purchased SumTotal Systems - a major

development. In 2017, Skillsoft announced

Percipio http://www.skillsoft.com/percipio/ - a

new LMS to replace Skillport.

guided training paths, gamification and rewards. Numerous LMS providers provide close

integration with Salesforce including

Blackboard purchased Prometheus in 2003 and WebCT in 2005 and became the

dominant vendor in the education market. They are primarily focused on the formal

education sector but they also market to corporations. Blackboard also purchased Angel

Learning in May, 2009 and Elluminate and Wimba (virtual classroom tools) in July 2010

and has integrated them into a new product called

Collaborate. Blackboard also

purchased iStrategy in 2010 and incorporated it into Blackboard Analytics suggesting a

move into broader school administration. Blackboard itself was purchased by

Providence

Equity Partners in 2011. This probably reflects only a change of ownership and not of

management. Providence also owns Edline, now “Blackboard engage”. In Nov. 2011,

Blackboard purchased CerBibo, a Chinese online learning company. In March 2012

Blackboard purchased MoodleRooms and NetSpot extending its reach into open source

services. The Vista version of WebCT is being phased out by Blackboard in 2013 and

replaced with Blackboard Learn. Blackboard will continue to support Angel and Edline

for the foreseeable future. In 2013, Blackboard also purchased

MyEdu – a site for career

planning that links students with employers. In 2014, Blackboard began offering their

software in a variety of SaaS configurations. In 2014, Blackboard purchased

ParentLink

and in 2015 Blackboard acquired Schoolwires, a company that provides Web sites,

hosting and management for K-12 schools and districts - the next step in Blackboard's

plan for world domination of the K-12 sector. In 2015, Blackboard purchased

Remote-

Learner a UK based Moodle Partner and provider of open source solutions, Nivel Siete –

a Moodle Partner based in Latin America, and X-Ray Analytics, a tool for predicting

student performance trends, which will be integrated into the company's open-source

learning management systems Moodlerooms and Enterprise Moodle.

In 2015, they

announced a significant cloud-based redevelopment they are calling Learn Ultra or the

Ultra Experience and they purchased Blue Canary, a higher education predictive

analytics company focused on retention.

Data integration among different systems is an important topic for the implementation of

LMS. Although beyond the scope of this report there are numerous companies that

provide tools for data integration. Some of these include: Actian, Adaptris, Attunity,

LMS and eLearning Vendors, March 2018

Corporate LCMS

Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS)

While LMS manage learners and record keeping, LCMS provide authoring capability and

manage the content of courses. Typically, course content is stored as learning objects in

a learning object repository database. The objects are described and tagged so these

objects can be recalled and reused by the same course designers and others.

Because many LMS are taking on the features of LCMS and vice-versa, there is a

duplication of vendors on this list with the previous list. Some companies which offer

both make a distinction between them and name them separately; some don’t. The

distinction between LMS and LCMS is becoming increasingly vague as LMS providers

add authoring tools to their offerings. Arguably, any LMS that includes an integrated

authoring capability (more and more common now) is an LCMS. Most LCMS offer at

least modest LMS capability as well.

Some education oriented systems call themselves LCMS. Because their primary

function is the creation and delivery of content, this is quite understandable. I prefer to

call them education LMS and have them in a separate category. They are also known

as Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) and as Course Management Systems (but this

can be confused with content management systems (CMS)). The term CMS (Content

Management System) is usually used to refer to a system to manage content on a

website. LCMS are specialized CMS which are specifically designed to manage

learning content.

Course Authoring Tools

It is, of course, possible to create web-based learning courses directly by programming

in HTML or Flash but the following course authoring tools are designed to simplify the

process. Tools like Adobe/Macromedia Authorware (still supported but no new

development) and SumTotal ToolBook

have been around since before the World Wide

Web and have evolved with it. There are, of course, many companies who offer custom

course development as a service (see

Consulting/Custom Development Companies).

This is a listing only of those who offer authoring courseware for sale.

Categories of authoring tools:

• Comprehensive: Some course authoring tools are quite comprehensive - creating

web pages, interactivity, tests and assessments, animations, screen simulations,

video and audio. The more complex ones require more expertise and can benefit

from programming experience. Examples of this are SumTotal ToolBook,

Trivantis

Lectora, Articulate Storyline and ReadyGo. Some, like the ones above, are desktop

tools which install on individual computers and allow authors to create courses

independently. Web-based tools offer collaborative authoring. Examples are

Composica and dominKnow Claro. Some vendors provide both desktop and web-

based versions.

• Rapid eLearning: These are primarily PowerPoint and/or MS Word to web (usually

Flash) conversion tools. PowerPoint can be a powerful authoring tool in expert

hands but both the instructional design and the technical implementation of it take

time. Too often companies use rapid eLearning tools as tools for taking bad

PowerPoint presentations and making them into even worse elearning. Several of

these latter tools have expanded to include more and more capability. Some

examples are Articulate Presenter, Adobe Presenter, and Trivantis Snap! by Lectora.

• Tests and Assessments: Specialized tools for the creation of tests, quizzes,

assessments and surveys. Many course authoring tools include some of this

capability but the specialized ones include much more capability. Examples are

Questionmark Perception, Respondus, Pedagogue, ReallyManaging Assessment

and TCExam. There are also tools that are specifically designed just for doing

surveys like Zoomerang, Survey Monkey, Lime Survey and any-survey.

• Screen capture tools: Used largely to record screen interactions for software

simulation training. Examples include Adobe Captivate, Techsmith Camtasia

, and

Qarbon Viewlet Builder.

• Mobile learning tools: Mobile learning requires specific design considerations

because of the smaller form factor of some devices. Some comprehensive

authoring tools include the ability to publish to mobile learning formats like HTML5.

• More sophisticated simulation tools for social and business simulations. Examples

are Experience Builder, NexLearn SimWriter and Roleplay (now Skilitix InterAct

• Audio and video: There are many available tools for creating, editing and

incorporating audio and video into eLearning. Examples include Audacity, Kaltura

woople and Mindflash.

• Virtual Worlds: There is an emerging category of tools that offer social networking,

conferencing and virtual environments/worlds. They often use avatars. Some are:

o Avaya web.alive

o Second Life

o VastPark

o VenueGen

Course authoring tools are often incorporated into LCMS and Education LMS but are not

available separately. These are frequently web-based and enable collaborative

authoring. Some authoring tools are add-ons to LMS and others are independent

products. The independent ones often include or offer a simple LMS to track the

courses created with their tools.

It is difficult to categorize authoring tools comprehensively. Every possible flavor exists

and there is a good deal of overlap in these categories. As a rough guide I have tried to

note, where possible, which type each tool is. For additional tools that I don’t classify as

“course authoring” see the list of “Some tools for adding interactivity to courses

”.

For best of breed, it may be appropriate to use several tools in combination, for example

Questionmark Perception and Respondus offer test creation tools beyond any other

authoring tools.

As of April 2015, the most popular full-function authoring tools are:

• Adobe Captivate

• Articulate Storyline

• Trivantis Lectora

• DominKnow Claro

• Harbinger Raptivity

• ZebraZapps

• iSpring Pro

Kineo offers reviews of authoring tools at http://www.kineo.com/m/0/authoring-tools-for-

Each year, Jane Hart produces a list of the Top 100 Tools for Learning compiled from

the Top 10 Tools lists of learning professionals worldwide – from education, training and

workplace learning. Her definition of “tools” is very broad. It is interesting to note that the

tools that head the list are standard search and social media tools like Twitter, Google,

Youtube, Facebook, etc.

There is an excellent article from ADL Co-Laboratories on choosing an eLearning

authoring tool at

Virtual Classrooms

125

Virtual Classrooms

Also called Web Conferencing, these tools provide an interface for synchronous, over-

the-web meetings for small or large groups (large group meetings are often called

webinars) and classes. They typically include a whiteboard for presentation and data

sharing with interactive graphic tools. They may also include video sharing, audio tools,

a chat window for instant messaging among participants and polling and feedback tools.

Many offer recording so that the presentation can be viewed later. Some vendors cater

to business and some to education. Tools designed strictly for webcasting lack some of

these interactive tools.

With some exceptions, virtual classrooms are not typically included in LMS but are

available as third party solutions. Most LMS offer integration with specific third party

tools.

The term “Virtual Learning Environments” is a term used to describe education learning

management systems particularly in the UK. More recently it has come to mean a web-

based platform that enables a virtual event or simulates a conference. In the ELearning

Media Group Learning Trends Report, “New Horizons: Virtual Learning Environments”

(2011, January) they are described as a blend of Webcasts, virtual classes, learning

rooms, networking lounges, resource libraries, and social media. They fit between

virtual classrooms and virtual worlds like Second Life.

There are also the “unified communications” tools like Cisco Jabber,

turn up many more. I have tried to identify the major players by the highlights. There

Generic Courseware Vendors

Generic (off-the-shelf) eLearning Courseware Vendors

Many organizations have found that it is useful to purchase generic courseware for

information technology, communications, sales, financial skills, ethics, values, diversity

and regulatory compliance. This is a list of some of these. It is impossible to list all the

vendors here. Many of them also offer an LMS or LCMS to manage their courseware

and although subscribers have access to the LMS information and it may integrate with

their own LMS, the courseware provider’s LMS is not often offered as a standalone

product. Many LMS vendors offer courseware libraries through reseller agreements with

these courseware developers. Many technology companies offer courses for learning

the use of their software offerings. More and more service organizations are offering

eLearning for specific purposes on their websites (everything from courses on beer to IT

security) and using custom developed platforms that may or may not be available

separately. The major publishers like Pearson, McGraw-Hill, etc. are offering both online

Notes:

Many companies are now offering what they call eLearning on their public websites.

This is often just a collection of promotional/marketing videos or white papers. In other

cases they are legitimate learning materials. A filter of healthy skepticism is required.

Government agency sites such as the

Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and

Safety (CCOHS) are usually worthwhile.

MOOC’s (Massive Open Online Courses) are a new development (a disruptive

technology) in the university sector. Sites like edX, Coursera, Udacity, Codecademy

Skillshare, Udemy, P2PU, openlearning, and others are offering free or very low cost

university courses. Most are non-credit but increasingly courses are being offered for

credit. Some of the MOOC’s have developed their own platforms; others are using well-

known LMS like Blackboard, Moodle, Desire2Learn, etc.

Other MOOC like offerings:

• The Kahn Academy

• Open Culture http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses offers “650 free

online courses from top universities.”

• 50 free sources of learning for business http://www.ht2.co.uk/ben/?p=452.

• MyEducationPath is a website that attempts to help both students and vendors

navigate in the eLearning course space especially among the post-secondary

MOOC’s. They currently list nearly 6,000 courses. They don’t offer courses but

provide links to them.

Harvard Business School will be offering its own MOOC in 2014 on a platform they call

HBX that is a customized version of edX.

Education LMS

Education Learning Management Systems (ELMS)

(also called Course Management Systems but that is too easily confused with Content

Management Systems). They are also called Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).

They are similar to corporate LMS and/or LCMS but specifically target the formal

educational environment. Some education oriented systems call themselves LCMS.

Because their primary function is the creation and delivery of content, this is quite

understandable. I prefer to call them education LMS and have listed them separately in

this category. Most open source systems are designed for formal education.

Educational institutions are usually already well equipped for registration and

management of classroom instruction with Student Information Systems (SIS)

Education LMS tend to be strictly for online learning and typically do not include

classroom registration capability. They usually provide course authoring and some

content management features as well. They also emphasize communication and

collaboration features. They are generally built on the assumption that an instructor is

always available to build course content and to communicate with students.

There are businesses that choose to use ELMS products – particularly those that

support the use of open source tools. And the reverse is true - sometimes a corporate

LMS is appropriate for the formal education sector, for example, to be used for distance

education.

There are two categories – commercial (proprietary) and open source. Not listed here

are platforms that various universities have developed themselves and may have shared

them with other institutions through cooperative agreements but have not made them

available publicly. Examples of universities that have developed their own systems

include the Brigham Young University, Maryland University, Western Governors

University, and the Oberta University in Catalonia. The University of Phoenix

is probably

the largest provider of formal eLearning with approximately 200,000 students online as

well as 100,000 more in classrooms. It made a large investment in developing an

adaptive learning platform called “Classroom”. In 2015, it experienced numerous

problems and abandoned the project and will be adopting Blackboard Learn Ultra.

Many universities and schools use an LMS but customize it for themselves and call it

something else, for example, Illinois State University calls its version of Sakai

“ReggieNet” and Virginia Tech called its version “Scholar” (In 2015 Scholar is being

replaced by Instructure Canvas – also built on open source software – Ruby on Rails).

Sakai was also used to develop Classes*v2 that has been used by Yale, Stanford, the

University of Michigan, Indiana University, and others. Most of these are transitioning to

Canvas.

According to a report done by Educause in 2014, 99% of U.S. higher education

institutions surveyed have an LMS in place. LMS have an average age of about 8 years,

and 15% of US institutions are planning to replace their LMS within the next 3 years.

Notes:

MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses). In 2002 MIT (Massachusets Institute of

Technology) decided to share its course material freely on line http://ocw.mit.edu/

. This

initiative has grown and numerous websites now offer free university courses to 1000’s

of learners. These include

edX, Coursera, Codeacademy, Openlearning, P2PU, Udacity,

and Udemy. Arguably Khan Academy (all kinds of topics) and Lynda.com (computer

technology courses) can be included in this group but the courses are organized and

presented differently and are not university sanctioned. MOOC technology is beginning

to be applied to corporate learning.

Intrepid Learning offers what may be the first

corporate MOOC solution. Most MOOCs appear to operate on their own proprietary

learning platforms.

edX has made its platform available to others as has 2U. Some

popular education LMS like Blackboard, Desire2Learn, and Instructure Canvas also

market their products as MOOC platforms.

CourseTalk lists online courses from 54

different providers (MOOC platforms) and 500 universities with student ratings. They are

working with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)

to expand quality

education and career training globally.

world but the list is very old now (2003).

Moodle is the most popular open source LMS. As of August 2015, they estimate

implement, manage and host it. These include Moodlerooms

Further observations from the above:

• As has been true since 2012, the fastest-growing LMS is Canvas. There is no

other solution close in terms of matching the Canvas growth.

• While we continue to show Canvas in the Open Source area, we have noted a

more precise description as an Open Core model.

• Blackboard continues to lose market share, although the vast majority of that

reduction over the past few years has been from customers leaving ANGEL.

Blackboard Learn lost only a handful of clients in the past year. At this point

ANGEL has under 1% of market share.

• With the University of Phoenix move from a Homegrown system to Blackboard

Learn Ultra, the band for Homegrown has dropped to less than 1% of institutions.

• Pearson has announced LearningStudio’s end-of-life for the end of 2017, and

there are some big for-profit systems moving to D2L Brightspace and to Canvas.

In fact, you can already see Brightspace increasing growth from past years

based largely on former LearningStudio clients.

• There is a line for Other, capturing those systems with less than 50 active

implementations as primary systems; systems like Jenzabar, Edvance360,

LoudCloud Systems, WebStudy, Schoology, and CampusCruiser. Of these,

Schoology is growing the most, primarily from smaller private institutions (their

sweet spot). At this rate, Schoology may move to its own band by next year.

• It is interesting to reiterate that both Homegrown and Other categories have

decreased over the past two years.

Notes:

It is interesting to note that the major IT companies – Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM,

SAP, and Intel – each offer some products but didn’t seem to have a clear strategy in the

eLearning/Learning Management space and the products they did offer were often

difficult to find on their websites.

In 2012, however:

• SAP purchased SuccessFactors/Plateau

• IBM purchased Kenexa/Outstart

• Oracle purchased Taleo/Learn.com

• Google introduced Google Apps for Education (now G Suite for Education)

and in 2014 offered Google Classroom.

• In 2015 SAP and IBM announced a linking of SuccessFactors and Kenexa.

Microsoft has several products in the eLearning space none of which can be described

as a learning management system. With the exception of Skype for Business, they

seem to hide them well. Microsoft has a variety of tools that are listed below

morphed into Skype for Business. Lync was formerly Live Meeting. Live Meeting

was originally PlaceWare. Microsoft offered the original NetMeeting product as

part of its Windows operating system but it is no longer supported. They offered

Windows Meeting Space on Windows Vista but it does not seem to have been

included in Windows 7. Microsoft also offers

Surface Hub that is a high-end

videoconferencing system.

Oracle offers several learning management products – iLearning

http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/ebusiness/human-capital-

management/061822.html, Oracle Learning Management (OLM)

http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/ebusiness/human-capital-

management/053815.html, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management.

http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/peoplesoft-enterprise/hcm/052836.html.

It would appear that iLearning is strictly for online learning and OLM is a more

comprehensive tool including the management of classroom training. The PeopleSoft

tool is apparently for PeopleSoft customers. The website is unclear. In 2012, Oracle

purchased Taleo/Learn.com which is now offered as

Oracle Taleo Learn Cloud Service.

In 2016, Oracle launched a new video learning platform that looks like a video library,

and it is now becoming a strategic part of the company’s HCM suite.

Lotus brand was discontinued. In 2012, IBM purchased Kenexa who had previously

purchased the LMS vendor Outstart. Kenexa is now part of IBM Smarter Workforce

. In

2015, SAP and IBM plan to integrate their Talent Mangement Systems linking Kenexa

with Success Factors. This could have a significant effect on the learning management

sector.

designed only to offer customers who insist on it. It is definitely not best of breed. Most

SAP users (even SAP itself) choose other systems.

SAP purchased SuccessFactors in

2012. Because SuccessFactors had previously purchased Plateau, SAP now offers the

SuccessFactors Learning

solution. In 2015, SAP and IBM plan to integrate their Talent

Mangement Systems linking Kenexa with Success Factors. In early 2018, it was

announced that SAP would be purchasing Callidus Cloud. No indication of what would

become of Litmos.

Adaptive Learning Platforms:

Adaptive learning is an important new trend – providing learning that adapts to learners’

individual needs. It is related to but not identical to the concepts of individualized and

personalized learning. These terms are used differently by different people and don’t

have clearly defined definitions. See one discussion at

http://mfeldstein.com/personalized-learning-vs-adaptive-

learning/?utm_source=subscribe2&utm_medium=email.

Also see the Tyton Partners report “Learning to Adapt 2.0: The Evolution of Adaptive

Learning in Higher Education” at

http://tytonpartners.com/tyton-wp/wp-

content/uploads/2016/04/Tyton-Partners-Learning-to-Adapt-2.0-FINAL.pdf.

I view personalized learning as directed towards learner preferences – either by the

learner or automatically by the platform (like Amazon, etc.) whereas adaptive learning

adjusts to the learner’s actual learning needs based on an intelligent algorithm.

However, my distinction is not universal and both terms tend to get used interchangeably

so it is hard to tell. I list both “personalized” and “adaptive” platforms here.

Adaptive learning is still in its infancy but has a great deal of potential but beware of

smoke and mirrors. There are challenges such as privacy, ethical issues, and promises

by vendors of capabilities that cannot yet be delivered. It also is not easy. The Apollo

Group (University of Phoenix) spent nearly a billion dollars developing an adaptive

learning system but has abandoned it and will be using Blackboard as their LMS for now.

Synaptic Global Learning (listed below) seems to have disappeared.

Many of the platforms listed here are also listed elsewhere in this document in relevant

categories. Most are not full-featured LMS but do include analytics and are designed to

be integrated with LMS. They also offer consultation services. There are many other

such platforms under development.

Social networking/learning tools

It is natural that, with the increased popularity of SaaS, cloud computing, and social

networking, the LMS would evolve to include those things. Many “behind the firewall”

LMS are offering “hosted” (SaaS/cloud) solutions and are including social networking

tools within the organization because many employers are reluctant to give employees

access to Facebook, Twitter, etc. out of fear that they will waste time on them. Some of

the following tools give access to outside the enterprise social networking but with a

learning focus.

Social learning tools offer schools and corporations the opportunity to build communities

of interest, to manage and capture informal learning, and to provide mentoring and

coaching. These tools are being rapidly adopted not just because of their popularity but

also because of the value they provide. This list barely scratches the surface.

Ed Cohen (2010) of Plateau Systems (now SuccessFactors) has written an interesting

article called “Is the LMS Dead?” (

http://www.cedma-

europe.org/newsletter%20articles/Clomedia/Is%20the%20LMS%20Dead%20%28Oct%2

Lecture Capture Systems

Lecture capture is currently a hot topic in post-secondary education. The idea is to

record lectures and make them available for students on the web. They can then be

used by students who missed the class, for review, etc. Students tend to like it. I am,

like Tony Bates

, skeptical about the usefulness of this. We should be eliminating

lectures altogether, not recording them. I also think that passively watching a video of a

lecture is an inefficient way to learn or to review. A good set of lecture notes is much

better. Recording lectures, however, may be a way of improving accessibility for some

learners. An article on this topic can be found at

http://www.universitybusiness.com/article/lecture-capture-fresh-look.

Some of the most popular tools for lecture capture are:

• Cisco Lecture Vision

• Collaaj Unified Video Capture and Management Platform. Announced in April

2014 for both education and business enterprises.

• Desire2Learn Capture

• Echo360

• Entwine – a tool for annotating video lectures.

• Epiphan Systems Inc.
