comments on Joan Lourenco's post

Based on my experience with LMS(which is the corporate experience), the creators fall short in two areas. First is flexibility, many of the systems I worked with create learning plans for the individuals by making some huge assumption about the goals of a new employee and job function. For instance all geologist have to understand the following. what LMS and the people who mange these systems fail to recognize is that goals and job function vary based on location and personal preferences. The other area that they fall short is usability, simple tasks can take 10 - 15 minutes of effort most of which is spent determining how do I do this again! Which should never be the case, its a waste of time, can lead to demotivation and frustration with the entire Education/ training process.
