14. "Hopefully this data description of market activity hasn’t been
too tedious, but there are strong arguments that company
financial health in 2018 / 19 for the providers will continue to
have an outsized impact on the future of LMS offerings.”

23. Net Effect, design
• Even further increasing the importance:
• Intuitive LMS design – pleasing to use, little training
required
• Scalable hosting (i.e. cloud hosting)
• Challenges:
• Balance simple & intuitive with rich & configurable
• Afford to stay in business
• Do better than threaded discussion board

37. "What we have learned from such a large research effort is
that no one medium is better than another – because it’s not
the medium itself that accounts for differences. What makes
a difference is the design – specifically the application
of an intentional instructional design process and the
implementation of effective instructional methods or
strategies. The design process and effective instructional
methods and strategies can be employed in any medium (or
not).”

38. We are in the midst of an inflection point
in higher education driven by mainstream
adoption, different platform designs,
moving beyond the digitization of
traditional classroom, and (unfortunately)
Covid-19.
The LMS is best positioned to tie the
pieces together; a Virtual Learning
Environment.
