Dive Brief:
- Axonity announced the launch of a campaign that demonstrates the growing frustration that learning and design pros have with learning management systems.
- Learning management systems were originally designed for use in traditional education settings, not the corporate workplace. It's like "shoes that don't fit", Valerie Davisson, Chief People Officer of At Home, said in a statement.
- According to the 2016 Deloitte's Global Human Capital Trends report, the LMS market is set to decline from $46.6 billion in 2016 to $33.4 billion by 2021 due to lack of innovation.
Dive Insight:
Many learning management systems are either losing ground or completely re-hauling their interface in response to changing needs of the corporate world. Old-form LMS tend to be clunky and hard to adapt, not ideal in a time when many learners want to access content via mobile or on-the-go.
L&D tech that can't adapt hampers efforts to produce the kinds of learning content that appeals to employees — and low appeal leads to low engagement and retention down the line. Therefore, it's critical that companies start looking for alternatives to traditional LMS systems now.
