Rather, they looked at what they were trying to do and that didn't really map onto an LMS functionality. My guess is that JetBlue does have an LMS somewhere - but it's not related to this initiative.<BR/><BR/>I think there may be a tendency for all of us learning folks to try to figure out how an LMS can do more to include these things. That may not be the best route. Jet Blue obviously looked outside that box.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-5297719671762852212008-11-05T07:37:00.000-08:002008-11-05T07:37:00.000-08:00Interesting post.

I like the fact that JET BLUE values knowledge and given their corporate profile this seems to be a key part are their mission.<BR/><BR/>That said why no LMS? I mean even if it's build your own, it's still an LMS.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140053769667966586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-4515868455098663462008-10-31T05:16:00.000-07:002008-10-31T05:16:00.000-07:00Matt - that's an interesting point.

Yes, an LMS with something like competency models or learning history should indicate what content is known, interesting, applicable to that person. And, yes, there will be cases where having social media integrated into an LMS will be quite useful. I agree that connecting people to people and people to content is really the goal of all of this.<BR/><BR/>However, most of the focus needs to be on day-to-day work and learning outside of formal learning settings. Thus, the LMS could feed into that, but it's unlikely that the LMS would itself become the central hub.<BR/><BR/>Mzinga is definitely going in an interesting direction. They will be presenting at the upcoming free online conference for good reason. I'm not familiar with what ElementK is doing.<BR/><BR/>It's certainly not clear how all of this will shake out and I appreciate discussing it with you like this.<BR/><BR/>BTW, did you notice that JetBlue U didn't use something tied to an LMS?Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-80684647992736647552008-10-31T05:02:00.000-07:002008-10-31T05:02:00.000-07:00Tony, Great post.

Then you could connect people to people and people to content that is applicable to their jobs as well. <BR/><BR/>To my knowledge, Mzinga is the only vendor in the space that provides anything like this. But, Element K might have some solution set. Thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
