A note from Matt:
I had the pleasure of participating in an internet radio show, Entrepreneurial Insights, on March 26, 2010, along with Pino Bacinello (President) of Pacific Mergers and Acquisitions and Leo McKernan (General Manager) of Online Training Technologies. We spent about an hour discussing current trends in the elearning industry, and it was interesting to hear Leo's opinions.
Online Training Technologies is a content partner of Intellum's, specializing in financial services education, and Leo's primary focus during the chat centered around his client's needs to customize OTT off-the-shelf content, e.g. Anti-Money Laundering. That is not a request many of our client's have, and actually, I see prospects and clients more often creating completely customized training from their own source material using a 3rd party course authoring tool. It's an interesting contrast in business models though. I spent a good bit of the segment explaining how, especially in the last 18 months, many companies (often brick and mortar consultancies or software providers) have begun leveraging the Rollbook Learning Management System to "sell" training, anything from certifications to software simulation. I believe ecommerce LMS implementations will continue to gather momentum, and we have actually created a specific LMS product to service this burgeoning market. Anyway, it's a fun conversation, and you can take a listen here.
