Is your current LMS giving you nightmares? You say east and your LMS goes west? No matter how much you try, your LMS never justifies its presence in your organization. You keep racking your brains to get the best out of the fossil aged LMS, and it keeps enfeebling with every single passing day. And to make things worse, you’re not even sure whether or not, your LMS is outdated. We’d say, if your current LMS is gasping for breath, let it go… let it rest in peace and get over it as fast as you can. And to give you a little hope, let us tell you that you are not alone in the rigmarole, there are many out there in the same situation as you are. Hence, the write-up!
When there is No LMS…
We’ve seen people in the Learning and Development (L&D) having petrifying experiences when dealing with Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Many of these experiences arise because the market is crowde
But no matter the hitches, the reality is that you can’t get learner data that is sorted, valuable and actionable without having a learning management system in place. There’s simply no way around it! Why? Well, the reasons are plenty! First, let’s give you the problems that’d arise if there was no LMS in place.
Imagine the space and the IT infrastructure that’d get spent in arranging classroom trainings for hundreds of learners at a single instance of time. And not to mention the managerial skills required by the training manager to get so many people in one place, at a single point of time. Besides, how about imagining the training manager running around with tons of papers and chunky training material binders? Doesn’t sound very effective, is it? Hence, let’s admit it, organizations need an LMS!
When your Current LMS is as Good as No LMS!
Like we mentioned earlier, if your current LMS is gasping and panting while carrying out the daily tasks, you probably need to start looking out for a new one. If your traditional LMS is nothing more than a repository of boring courses, poorly crafted exams, long surveys and tiresome reports that make no sense, you probably need to be looking for a new one.
Again, if your LMS is complex, unimaginative… almost like a massive warehouse of mostly insufficient, clunky excel sheet reports, you need a new LMS. And if you are bearing with all these nuisances after spending thousands of dollars during implementation, but still have to use MS Excel to manifest your data into some decent understandable stuff, you really…. really need a new LMS!
The Next-Gen LMS Experience
Agreed, you need an LMS, but not just any LMS! You need an elearning platform that has a few basic things in place and a lot more. The LMS you opt for should atleast support integrations with major software portals. Besides, it should support social platforms, while having the gamification elements, robust multi-tenant infrastructure, blended learning mode and the ability to cater to digital learner of today on their choice of devices… i.e. it should support mobile learning.
The additional features that LMSs support include presence of interactive videos, ability to set up a professional storefront for selling courses online, ability to support offline learning while having a course authoring tool that helps convert all the course material into SCORM compliant content that the LMS can understand. So you see, you basically need a next-gen LMS that could dramatically improve your turnaround time from the time of training deployment to completion, taking all other associated metrics into consideration.
Features Next-Gen LMS Flaunts…
Gamification
Gamification expels ‘boring’ out and injects ‘fun’ in the learning process. This eventually boosts engagement by making learning enjoyable whilst driving more participation. Gamified elements such as earning points, coins, badges, trophies, leaderboards etc., keep the learners motivated. The best part? Learners retain and remember more of what they’ve learned and are less likely to abandon their training midway.
Social Learning
It is see
Multi-Tenancy
A single instance of LMS can host and manage a multiple databases / clients / customers / partners. Each of the clients will be able to access and view their own unique learning content and would not even realize they are in a multi-tenant LMS. You’ll also experience quicker initial startups and unmatched performance and that too without impacting the performance of other customers on the same LMS.
Blended Learning
Mobile Learning
Train at your own time-convenience with the learning management system that provides coherent support for mobile learning. Even with the small screen size of the mobile devices, you get access to all the features of LMS. Learners, tutors and clients can easily access the training programs from tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices.
