Brandon Hall - LMS Trends & Issues Notes

Tracy Hamilton makes some notes on Brandon Halls LMS Trends and Issues Webinar:

Discovery Through eLearning: Learning Management Systems - Trends and Issues (Brandon Hall Research) Webinar

Here are some stats that I found interesting:

- 88% of current Learning Management Systems have built in test systems
- 78% offer classroom management
- 64% have built in authoring
- 60% have LCMS features
- 50% handle e-Commerce

- 86% are SCORM 1.2
- 48% SCORM 2004 compliant

- 68% of vendors say that more then 50% of their implementations are hosted (this seems to be a rather convoluted number, but indicates that Hosted solutions seem to be considered more acceptable now than they were some years ago)

42% of systems allow searches (but no indication of how granular or useful the search feature actually is...)

- 20% blogs
- 17% wikis
