Reflecting on Xyleme Voices: The Industry Luminaries We’ve Talked To

December 14th, 2009

Time to cast your vote for the 2009 Edublog Awards! Voting closes Tuesday, Dec 15 (tomorrow) at 8pm EST.

Congratulations to all of those nominated. It’s an impressive list of bloggers, Tweeters (is that a word?) and other social media leaders who I plan to now read regularly and follow if I’m not already.

This year, our educational podcast library Xyleme Voices was nominated and shortlisted in the category of Best Educational Use of Audio. I’m very honored and thrilled and if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to give a shout-out to our spectacular team here at Xyleme. While I am the host of this library, there are a number of people in the background who put tremendous time, effort, and pride into researching, recruiting, and producing these terrific podcasts.

Pay Attention!!

September 15th, 2009

I had the honor of interviewing Clive Shepherd a couple of weeks ago for a podcast on the subject of using synchronous online communications for learning or, in more friendly terms, live online learning.

It was a fascinating discussion because it made me realize that we tend to take things like web conferencing for granted and probably don’t dedicate the resources we should to optimize this communication channel.

How not to adopt an LCMS

June 2nd, 2009

As the economy has forced organizations to do more with less, we’re seeing more and more interest in LCMS systems. The times of getting through the inherent inefficiencies of the old approach of having multiple copies of instructor guides, student guides, slide decks and online courses are gone. Organizations are looking for ways to streamline their processes and remove waste.

The Great Debate Once Again…

May 4th, 2009

A recently published report concluded that Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) implementations using reusable learning object (RLO) models typically result in a small return on investment. I am not surprised. For starters, I happen to know that none of our customers participated in the study :-)

e-Books, Open Standards, and Content Formats

February 26th, 2009

I want to comment and discuss a real-world example of why XML and XML standards are fundamental to your strategy when selecting an LCMS. One of the great questions we hear when prospective clients evaluate LCMS solutions is “what is the role of XML in my decision”? Does it matter if I choose an LCMS built on a pure XML platform or one that is built on proprietary content formats?

Why Learning and Enterprise Content Management?

January 22nd, 2009

As we start the New Year I thought I’d chat about our latest announcement - Xyleme LCMS running as an integrated solution (application) on EMC’s Documentum platform. If you have been following Xyleme, you will know that we have always been built on a native XML content platform. Up until now, the major ECM players have not provided an XML platform that could handle the granularity and performance required by our application. But this has changed with EMC’s acquisition of X-Hive last year and its recent integration into the Documentum platform. We can now offer an integrated solution with the world’s leading ECM platform.
