Cammy Bean's Learning Visions: The Corporate Moodle: A Tipp. Richard Nantel of Brandon Hall recently posted about average LMS prices. A ‘low-cost’ LMS starts at an average of $58K.

Why do companies continue to pay huge dollars for products that are now being offered for free? (I’m a recent convert, perhaps on the path to open source evangelism.) So what are some of the hurdles to overcome in the corporate market? It’s free. Support. It’s not for corporate use.

On top of that, if I run into a road block, I can quickly make adjustments to my route. Templates are fine, but they’re based on practiced routines rather than solving problems. We see that a lot of this in our industry that relies so heavily on templates, ADDIE project plans, style guides, and stringent branding requirements. Visual Design: How Will The Course Look?

The technologies are really a core part of the performance ecosystem, and I am increasingly excited about the possibilities.
