• Tin Can simplifies the tracking and recording of any learning event – no matter how informal or non-traditional making it easier to use and less limiting than SCORM.

  • An extended enterprise LMS supports learning efforts for non-employees, including channel partners, customers, prospects, members, franchises, resellers and distributors. 

  • Responsive design is popular because it works on any device and all platforms, thus eliminating the need to test everything on many devices.

  • Absorb is definitely extended enterprise ready and has many features to support external audiences; the interface can be skinned and globalized very neatly with clients’ colors, logos, fonts, language and dynamic group functionality.

  • The integrated social learning features are great for extended enterprise audiences like channel partners and association members because many times you do not know who they are and the integrations automate the account creation and login process.

  • A common value proposition you will hear from your employee LMS provider is that there are economies of scale in licensing, maintenance and implementation, so from a cost standpoint, it makes sense to expand the existing LMS to external audiences.

  • Gamification is extremely relevant for extended enterprise solutions because the users participate voluntarily and anything you can do to make the experience and content engaging and sticky is key.

  • Saba is the first extended enterprise webinar or whitepaper by one of the large integrated talent management providers in 2014.

  • If you have been doing your job establishing your network on LinkedIn, almost every prospect is in your first or second-degree network unless you are just starting out.

  • Mindflash targets the many smaller organizations of fifty to a few thousand users that see value in training, invest in training, but have yet to make the leap into eLearning.
