The amazing Jay Cross, who has been commentating on the development of the e-learning market since before it began, has posted notes and photographs from his recent (and he says best) elearning forum about Enterprise Learning.

At the session were reps from just about every major Learning Management System (LMS) vendor and more besides. To his credit, Jay kept the discussion on topic by the look of his notes, and avoided vendor-on-vendor verbal violence.

The LMS market has gone down a classic enterprise software dead-end in our view, which is borne out by the frustration most LMS customers feel at the gap between what they are promised and the glorified databases that get delivered. However, this is still an area in which lots of development and energy are being invested in the hope of keeping LMS systems up there with the other horrific enterprise systems that many large organisations still persist in buying. Therefore, it is very useful to have Jay and others keeping an eye on it for us.....
