The movement toward Web 2.0 learning technologies has meant an increase in emphasis on collaborative learning instead of just individual training. This, in turn, has resulted in the production of new knowledge within organizations, which can be seen as a form of improved collective intelligence. In this one-hour Webinar, Dr. Gary Woodill, senior analyst at Brandon Hall Research, will present his understanding of both collaborative learning and collective intelligence, as well as how they work together to make smarter organizations.

The presentation is based on a series of four research reports on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) that Gary produced in the past year and will include foundational concepts, case studies, key resources, software tools, and a summary of the research on the effectiveness of collaborative learning. The presentation will include a question and answer period at the end. Join Gary and other participants in getting ahead of the curve on this important emerging topic in learning and development.

Even amid the adoption of informal and social learning strategies, learning management systems (LMS) continue to play an important role in employee training initiatives. These systems provide learners with access to content and provide managers with the ability to track who knows what. In industries that require certifying or monitoring training, no better way exists to ensure that individuals are qualified to do their work than by measuring their skills and knowledge using a learning management system.

Although, for years, pundits have been predicting consolidation in the learning management system market, the number of products available is at an all-time high. New learning management systems appear each year. How do you pick the right LMS for your organization?

Brandon Hall Research has been helping organizations make the right learning technology selection choices for more than 15 years. We've developed tools, technologies, and methodologies that make it easy to compare systems and select the one that best meets your requirements.

Join Tom Werner, a Brandon Hall Research senior analyst in charge of our LMS research, for an informative session that will describe a disciplined methodology to select the right LMS. In addition, Richard Nantel, CEO of Brandon Hall Research, will demonstrate how the LMS KnowledgeBase, an online, database-driven application containing detailed profiles of 125 commercial systems, can make your LMS selection efficient and accurate.

Learning management systems have revolutionized workplace-learning processes, which, not so long ago, were intensely manual and paper-driven. Some organizations have adopted LMSs with great success, others have struggled, and still others are considering their first purchase. In the meantime, LMS vendors have continued to innovate, add features, and shape and reshape the definition of what an enterprise learning system should do.

What have been the recent trends in learning management systems? Where will these trends lead? And what are some of the issues that LMS vendors and users face today?

Join Tom Werner, a Brandon Hall Research senior analyst in charge of our LMS research, who will provide an overview of his insights from producing the 2010 version of our popular LMS KnowledgeBase, a searchable database of hundreds of facts about 125 of the most popular learning management systems on the market today. Find out about features of learning management systems that you might be missing, and see where this sector of the learning and development industry is heading in the next few years.
