ILTA White Paper Firm University 18 T he general learning management system (LMS) market is evolving quickly. The primary driver behind this rapid change is the recent demand for integrating more extensive functionality, such as talent and performance management, informal learning and social learning. There is also the desire to more closely integrate the LMS into other enterprise applications so that it becomes embedded into daily life. The decision process for adopting an LMS in a law firm has been a tussle between the sometimes competing requirements of the IT and professional development departments. LMS providers have developed their systems starting from two opposite sides of the law firm. As a result, while a system might be ideal in every respect for IT's purposes (e.g., elegant handling of multiple short e-learning topics), it is sometimes lacking in functionality for the other (e.g., incorporation of state bar rules for CLE). The race is on for who can not only supply the perfect LMS that satisfies both sets of traditional demands, but also for who can best accommodate the advent of Web 2.0 functionality, performance and talent management, and informal learning. sue PasfieLd CaPensys Learning Management Systems in a Web 2.0 World
