I thought I’d point out that ASAE’s Associations Now has recently run a couple of items that many readers here would find interesting.
The first, Current and Future Trends in E-learning, offers various data (such as that in the image above) from our Association Learning + Technology report. This will give you an idea of how associations are currently making use of e-learning. You can find it online at:
The second, What to Look for in Learning Management Systems, takes a look at how learning management systems are evolving and how associations are using them. You can find this one at:
Enjoy,

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m starting to make an effort to highlight various free resources we offer that newcomers to the site may not be aware of or that may simply have fallen off the radar screen of long-time subscribers. I don’t want to do that just with Tagoras resources, though – there are many other great resources out there on the Web. This time around, I’m going to focus on three resources for learning management system selection – two from us, and one from Ellen Behrens over at the wonderful aLearning Blog.
First, let me point you to Ellen’s brief tutorial on Choosing a Learning management System (LMS). This is one of a number of free eLearning Fundamentals tutorials that Ellen has put together, and it offers up a 7-step process for LMS selection.
Next, I encourage you to view the 30-minute Webcast I did several weeks back on how to select an LMS. Among other information, it offers up a process for LMS selection that includes – you guessed it – 7 steps. (Ellen and I developed these completely independently – I was not aware of hers and I don’t think she was aware of mine. It is interesting to see where they are alike and where they differ.)
Finally, we’ve recently posted an excerpt from our new Association Learning Management Systems report. Naturally, it doesn’t contain anywhere near the amount of data that is in the full report, but it does offer some valuable information about pricing and about LMS usage in general in the association sector.
If you find any of those of use, please share them so that others will be aware that they are available.
Jeff
