Learning Management Systems (LMS) Evaluation Center

What Are Learning Management Systems?

Learning management systems (LMS) manage and schedule training and learning events in an enterprise, and track or keep progress records of learners. Many systems also manage classroom learning and resources, or facilitate e-learning. Learning content management systems primarily manage course content as learning objects so they can be shared, reused, and repurposed. They often include authoring tools, and sometimes incorporate features of learning management systems to help manage at least the online part of course delivery and learner tracking.

Learning Management System Business Drivers and Benefits

• Increase employee competency.
• Decrease employee turnover.

Learning Management System Risks

• Although many companies have found it best to implement a single LMS company-wide, getting all departments to agree may represent a significant challenge.
• The IT resources required to implement an LMS may be substantial or difficult to source.
• LMS implementations can be challenging when it comes to integrating with other systems such as human resources (HR) or enterprise resource planning (ERP).
• Avoid costly turnovers of LMS applications by ensuring that your needs are comprehensively identified and accounted for.
