Creating a learning focused organization requires understanding your people in the environment you have created for them. Have you created an atmosphere for learning? More importantly, have you created a culture that promotes making mistakes? Do your people embrace or dislike technology? Do you promote transparency and collaboration? Do you have a culture that supports entertaining new ideas from inside and outside the organization?

If you find yourself wondering about the answers to these questions, join Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer and a Co-founder of AC Growth for the popular workshop: Does your learning platform align and engage with your overall human capital strategy? on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (U.S. & Canada).

This highly interactive presentation will cover strategic and tactical concepts, constructs, and tools.  The information presented is based on key research that has been developed by the AC Growth team and will help you get your learning programs back on track by aligning them with your overall human capital strategy.

Registration is limited to 30 attendees, so read more and register now.

Updated Learning Management System Research Released

by Bonnie Henthorn on August 25, 2010

Brandon Hall Research has released the 2010 update for two popular learning management system reports: Low-Cost Learning Management Systems 2010 and LMS 2010 Snapshot Profiles.  These reports are derived from the LMS KnowledgeBase 2010, the repository for all Brandon Hall LMS research.  At more than 5,000 pages in size if it were to be printed, this knowledgebase is the most comprehensive and objective information available anywhere about commercial learning management systems.

Low-Cost Learning Management Systems 2010: 49 Products for Limited Budgets is a subset of the information contained within the popular LMS KnowledgeBase 2010. This 655-page report contains profiles of the 49 learning management systems that are priced below average for small (500 users), medium (10,000 users), large (25,000 users), and very large (100,000 users) implementations and for both hosted and installed implementations.

The product profiles contained in this report provide screen captures of each LMS, at-a-glance charts and comparison tables along with advice on selecting the right system and keeping the selection process within budget.

You can read more about this report here.

LMS Snapshot Profiles 2010: Overviews of 125 Learning Management Systems provides a concise yet informative executive summary of each system in the LMS Knowledgebase and an understanding of the LMS landscape.

Unlike the 40-60 page system profiles contained in the LMS KnowledgeBase, the product profiles contained in the LMS Snapshot Profiles 2010 report are approximately five pages long and contain a high-level overview of the system and screen capture along with at-a-glance charts of key features.

Members of the Brandon Hall Research Center may download these new reports free of charge.   Non-members may purchase by visiting the report links above.
