I think the thing is that Velpic is next generation. It would be kind of like no one ever installing any 4G wireless networks because the world already had so much 3G coverage......and yet 4G was rolled out. From what I understand the difference with Velpic is that you just need a browser where as with the others you need some third party software. IE you may need to create your presentation with something else like powerpoint before uploading. I just had a quick look at the litmos "features" video. They do not push the fact that you can create your content in the browser as Velpic does. With a nice happy repetitive tune in the background what they do tell you is how easy it is to create a new course then simply start uploading content within moments.....well where does this "content" come from?? Who created that?? That doesn't seem to get mentioned.
Sure, I guess it is not too hard to knock something together using some other program if you are reasonably tech savvy and then upload to litmos but why do that when you can create your content with the one tool as you can with Velpic.
This whole question has been raised a few times here about all the other on line learning systems out there. But riddle me this....why would world famous entrepreneur Richard Branson and world famous IT geek Steve Wozniak and Andrew Bassett the CEO of SEEK one of the giants in on line HR, all choose to vote Velpic as the most disruptive new technology if Velpic was just another learning system swimming in a vast sea of learning systems?? There has to be a difference and that difference as I understand it is ease of use thanks to Velpic truly being an all in one system.
As I posted on Christmas day....my sister is a double economics major but she has always had jobs where she is the go between between the IT departments who build systems and the financial people who use them. As she said....no one's core business is IT so more and more companies are moving to the cloud solutions (like velpic) so as to scale down their own internal IT departments. She has worked for a couple of leading oil companies and a large airline plus in government and now in her early 40s is contemplating returning to uni because she sees her traditional role diminishing more and more because of cloud based solutions.

Hi @ninelives
I have enjoyed your input but I believe Russell Francis was the one voted most disruptive CEO IN THE WORLD not Velpic itself as such.
Cmon guys, please give us something...Nice to hear from Leanne!
