The New LMS Market...

33.
The Market is Different in 2012• Vendors are rushing to support IMS standards for Interoperability • Common Cartridge • Learning Tools Interoperability• Standards save everyone money and make them money - expands the entire market place - interoperability is the "new normal"

34.
Instructure: Rapid Penetration• Instructure Canvas is open source - Affero GPL - to avoid being sued!• Zero engineering investment in proprietary expansion points for users• LTI Expansion is perfectly engineered for hosted multi-tenant instance• Publisher content using IMS Common Cartridge• We did all the hard work and made this way too easy for Instructure!

35.
New Effect:Venture Capital• Between 1999 and 2010, the LMS marketplace was a village • Everyone knows everyone • Changes slowly - Blackboard / Pearson buy folks once in a while• New level of investment, new tolerance for risk, new pace of innovation

37.
Moving Towards the Cloud• The forefront of innovation will move away from the LMS and toward new tools and groups of tools• The LMS will still carry the load of much of your local work and be the place that you innovate locally• Increasingly core teaching tools like assessment and structured content will be common across LMS systems and integrated using standards.
