Notes:

Google is arguably the greatest informal research and learning tool that we have.  Add social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook, YouTube (owned by Google), Delicious, Twitter, Wikipedia and many others and more learning probably occurs using these tools than with all the formal tools listed here.  That is why so many LMS vendors are adding social networking and informal learning tools to their products.

Brandon Hall (www.brandon-hall.com) and Bersin & Associates (http://www.bersin.com) have produced reports profiling these systems. 

More LMSs are listed at the following web sites

• http://www.e-learningcentre.co.uk/eclipse/vendors/mgt.htm (This is a British site so the list tends to be Eurocentric),
• http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/Directory/Tools/coursemgt.html.  Also check http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/recommended/top100.html
• http://www.capterra.com/learning-management-system-software,
• http://www.humancapitalmedia.com/directory/category/technology/lmslcms/
• http://www.elearningguild.com/buyers_guide/?selection=doc.937.  This is an extensive list of both products and services which goes beyond the scope of this list.

 

WebCT and Blackboard (now merged) are listed as LMSs.  They are primarily focused on the formal education sector so I have also listed them as Education LMS (also called Course Management Systems - CMSs).  Blackboard also purchased Angel Learning in May, 2009.
