CARRBORO, N.C., Nov. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- How can
learning technology buyers cut through the confusion in the current
market? A new executive briefing from Leading Learning, a resource
site for organizations in the business of adult lifelong learning,
provides insights into the role of major learning platforms in the
evolving learntech landscape and supports effective
decision-making.
Titled Conquering the Confusion: The Role of the LMS in the
Evolving Learntech Landscape, the briefing highlights key changes
in the overall lifelong learning landscape including advances in
neuroscience and the science of learning, shifts in human life and
work, the rapid evolution of available learning technologies, and
the massive surge in content production that technology has
enabled.
Technology decisions now take place against this complex – and
often confusing – backdrop, and the briefing offers a simple
product lifecycle framework for supporting these decisions. It then
focuses in on what the authors – Celisa
Steele and Jeff Cobb –
describe as the "core four" learning platforms: the learning
management system (LMS), the learning experience platform (LXP),
the learning content management system (LRS), and the learning
content management system (LCMS).
As the briefing makes clear, there are situations in which any
of these technologies may be useful on their own or – for LXP, LRS,
and LCMS – in combination with an LMS. Given the specific needs of
organizations that market and sell continuing education and
professional development, Cobb and Steele conclude that "the LMS
will likely remain a part of the core learning business technology
stack for years to come." Moreover, LMSes are likely to evolve to
take on more and more of the characteristics of the other systems,
particularly the LXP.
