  SAN RAMON, CA, May 8, 2014 - Ventana Research has launched its newest benchmark research, on Next-Generation Learning Management. The research will examine the nature and impact of advancements in the design and business use of learning management systems. It also will investigate the extent to which innovative technologies such as analytics, big data, collaboration and mobile enablement impact an organization's need and ability to keep employees trained to meet their responsibilities and career aspirations.
  "The dramatic technological shift in learning management means the majority of existing systems being used today are outdated," said Stephan Millard, VP and research director at Ventana Research. "We are seeing a design revolution that is beginning to resemble in potential impact the seismic shift from the green screen to the graphical user interface that began in the 1980s. As organizations begin to understand the promise that this new model of learning offers, they are coming to see the opportunity that is emerging to get knowledge to workers more rapidly and engage them more fully. In addition, this new approach to learning provides new ways to share content and learn from peers, breaking the old mold of one-size-fits-all structured formal learning."
