The Future of Learning Platforms: LMS and Video to Share Top Billing

Last week I led a webinar for Contact North, a nonprofit corporation funded by the government of Ontario, that was meant as an update to last year’s session on the LMS. For this update I took a broader look at learning platforms in general, and how the LMS might have to share center stage moving forward, as the changes driven by Pandemic lockdowns have changed adoption patterns in a significant way. Whether you love it or hate it (or are somewhere in between), video platforms are likely here to stay and not just a sideshow. To best understand the changes, the core argument of the webinar is that you need to look at user adoption – the human and social issues involved – even more than the technology roadmaps of the platforms. This is a topic I’ve mentioned in several panel discussions and notes to our EdTech Market Analysis subscribers, but I build out the argument more fully in this webinar.

There are several ways to watch the recorded webinar:

• The YouTube video, generously shared by Contact North, is embedded below.

• The Zoom recording with scrolling auto-transcript can be found here.

• A video with edited scrolling transcript can be found here.

• The slides can be downloaded from SlideShare, and you can access many of the graphics from the Free Resources tab at MindWires.com.
