Are there any LMS' that are currently on "web 2.0" ?

It is my understanding that "web 2.0" and j2e is the direction that the industry is moving to. Who are the front runners in this movement (in terms of which LMS are moving in this direction or are already there)

My understanding of this topic is limited, so I hope I'm being clear. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I heard Saba and SumTotal both working on this. I read something about eLeaP working on this as well. I am also very interested on this topic.

I am not sure what you mean by "on web 2.0." Web 2.0 is not a technology. It's a whole new way of looking at the web and its role in training. Training becomes collaborative. Users create content. Some of the technologies associated with Web 2.0 include wikis, blogs and face pages, so maybe you're thinking of LMSes that incorporate these, but Web 2.0 is more than that.

A good article on web 2.0 is:

Hi,

I also am not so sure what you intend by web 2.0 elearning... but at uMind we have developed an intelligent elearning platform that adapts the content to each learner.

I understand the premise behind web 2.0... and I believe it is to personalize the information to each user in order to increase the impact of each visit. More targeted delivery on content I guess.

I hope this helps,

Web 2.0 is a generic term which can be associated with a different user experience but as someone has written already it also means incorporating some social features around it. The whole Web 2.0 hype revolves around the work "scoial" or social web as some may call it. To me Web 2.0 for an elearning standpoint is primarily about three main things:

1) A more friendly user experience where the page transition is just a state change to the same page and not necessarily about going to a different page. Ajax, Flash and Flex are the technologies which can deliver this.
2) Some collaboration features build into the courseware. Like students being able to share their notes with others.
3) A much fresher looking UI which doesn't necessarily uses the corporate blue colors but color which are more appealing to the user base.

All of these can be leveraged by the way you build a course and need not be necessarily coded INTO an LMS.
