It is not possible to have a comprehensive and completely up-to-date list. Companies go in and out of business and are purchased by other companies. Re-branding is a regular occurrence. Many corporations and universities have built their own proprietary systems and have made them available only in a limited way if at all. I have included those that are commercially and readily available. The focus is on those available in English and for which information is available on the World Wide Web. As a result, there are numerous tools in other languages not listed here. The list evolves monthly as I learn of new products and changes. They are listed alphabetically by the name of the company in the categories:  Corporate Learning Management Systems (LMS)  Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS)  Course Authoring Tools  Virtual Classrooms  Generic (off-the-shelf) eLearning Courseware Vendors  Education Learning Management Systems (ELMS). The term “Course Management Systems” is often a term applied to Learning Management Systems designed for educational environments but it is easily confused with Content Management Systems. The term Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is also used. Several vendors have complete suites of these tools so are listed several times. The terms above are not mutually exclusive and different vendors may use different terms to describe their products. Some products were originally known by one name and have been purchased by other companies or changed names. Sometimes the products are listed under both names. I have tried to provide hyperlinks within this document to help sort out mergers, acquisitions and related products. Listings are alphabetical by company name. If you only know the name of the product, try a search. In this revision of the list, you will find discontinued and changed vendors at the end (p. 74). Partly because of the plethora of products offered and the state of the economy, there has been a good deal of turmoil in the industry. The dominant vendors in the market are highlighted in yellow. According to Bersin & Associates (2009), “The six largest LMS product companies constitute approximately 50% of the market.” The report does not specify which six these are but the largest vendors in the corporate market are SumTotal (including GeoLearning), Saba, Meridian, Outstart, Plateau (now SuccessFactors) and Learn.com (now Taleo). The largest LMSs in the education sector are Blackboard, Desire2Learn and Moodle (open source). Canadian vendors are indicated by this highlight. Learning Management Vendors, November 2011 LMSs By Don McIntosh www.trimeritus.com 4 Learning Management Systems (LMSs) Learning Management Systems (LMSs) are included in two categories: 1. Corporate 2. Education LMSs manage learners and facilities, launch and track online learning and keep records of the activity. Corporate LMSs usually include registration and management of classroom instruction as well as eLearning management and delivery. Some corporate LMSs add e- Commerce capability and may include regulatory compliance, competency, performance, human capital and talent management which link closely to Human Resources functions. Corporate LMSs tend to emphasize the management of asynchronous (self-directed) online learning because there is no assumption that an instructor will always be present. Course authoring and content management are not normally included in a corporate LMS except as part of a suite that includes learning content management (LCMS). Educational institutions are usually already well equipped for registration and management of classroom instruction so Education LMSs tend to be primarily for online learning and they usually provide course authoring and some content management features. Consequently they sometimes call themselves LCMSs. They are also called Course Management Systems (CMS) or (less commonly today) Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). They also emphasize communication and collaboration features. They are generally built on the assumption that an instructor is always available to build course content and to communicate with students. This way of categorization of LMSs is a bit arbitrary and there is a good deal of overlap between them. Sometimes it has more to do with the way the vendors market their products than the features they offer. Organizations looking for LMSs should not ignore the possibilities of using an LMS primarily focused on the other sector. For example, corporate LMSs can be very useful for educational institutions with a business focus such as distance education units offering courses for sale. Open source products tend to be most appropriate for educational institutions but many business enterprises have found them useful as well. Common features of Learning Management Systems:  Online (eLearning) course launching and tracking.  Classroom instruction management is included in most full-fledged corporate LMSs but not in all and is not normally included in education LMSs.  Blended learning is the ability to manage course which mix online and classroom instruction and is included in the more ambitious systems.  Talent management includes tools for recruitment, performance management, compensation and benefits, succession, retention and career planning. They are included in several of the most ambitious corporate systems but are not normally included in Education LMSs.  Communication and collaboration (Web 2.0). These tools have long been included as part of education LMSs and more and more corporate LMSs are including them now. Also called social learning and networking.  eLearning development tools (authoring and publishing) are not normally included in corporate LMSs but are included in LCMSs and education LMSs. Learning Management Vendors, November 2011 LMSs By Don McIntosh www.trimeritus.com 5  Content management of internal course materials is normally part of LCMSs and education LMSs and may be included as part of a suite.  Assessment and testing. The ability to produce tests and assessment both as part of courses and separately is normally included as part of LCMSs and education LMSs but only occasionally for corporate LMSs.  Virtual classrooms. They are not normally included as part of an LMS but may be included as part of a suite. Many LMSs provide integration with third party virtual classrooms.  E-Commerce. The ability to charge users for the courses internally and externally is a feature which is being included in more and more systems.  Reporting. All good systems provide good reporting functions and the ability to customize reports.  Mobile learning. Many vendors are beginning to add mobile learning functionality to their LMSs so learning can be accessed on smartphones and other small mobile devices.  SaaS (Software as a Service). Some Learning Management Systems are offered as software that is installed internally in the organization (“behind the firewall”). Some are offered as hosted or SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions. The terms Cloud Computing and “on-demand” are also used for this. Many are offered both ways. Talent Management Systems: Corporate Learning Management Systems are often part of Human Resource (HR) solutions. Several of the major LMSs are moving into the area of talent management. Talent management includes recruitment, performance management, compensation and benefits, succession, retention, career planning, learning and development. As a rule, they are oriented to planning and do not provide the day-to-day processing capabilities such as payroll. The terms human capital management and workforce productivity are also used. LMS vendors that incorporate talent management tools include Cornerstone OnDemand, Learn.com (now Taleo), Plateau (now SuccessFactors), Saba, SumTotal Systems and TEDS. Talent management vendors have been buying learning management systems. Taleo purchased Learn.com in 2010. SuccessFactors purchased Plateau in May, 2011.
