Do You Need A LMS Software?

LMS(Learning Management Software) is a software application or a web based solution backed up by a robust database. Its primary function is to plan, create, implement, track and assess learning related to a specific domain of education.

 

The instructors have all the possible tools required by him via this application to make complete courses, tests, enrol students, monitor their participation and review the performance, provide feedbacks and finally to certify him/her for a course done/completed. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a very popular industry standard specification created for standardizing the LMS processes.

It has two distinct parts:

  • A Server to perform main functions of the application (like creation of courses, syllabus, their management and delivery modes, verifying users, show appropriate courses, notifications, certifications etc.), and

  • A User Interface which runs in a browser, normally, used by administrators, mentors/instructors and students.

LMS software can be used from Enterprises to SMEs for Employee Orientation, Employee Training, Acquire Knowledge Base, and Education. With an LMS, the company can cut down costs involved in upgrading your employee’s knowledge and avoid business disruptions (when they take breaks for traditional courses). It requires less effort, money and time for a company when it uses LMS, instead of conventional seminars by instructors. LMS also provides complete overview of the employee’s performance, his understanding, and reports to the company.

How To Select A LMS Software?

Analysis

Define your strategic, functional, cost and technical requirements which are discrete and non-overlapping.

Content

Think and plan your content to be used for courses.... Word Document, Excel Spreadsheet, PDF, PowerPoint presentation, Flash (animation) files or Infographics?

Features

Specify the features and specific functions that you want in your choice of LMS software.

Technical Expertise

Although we should always put a person with good technology know-how in the leading position but an easy to use interface can help everyone (especially non-tech savvy people) when they are using it as a user.

Budget & Timeframe

Do not go only for monthly/deployment fees. Look closely at the price you will incur on the whole software and its services. Decide on the timeframe in which your solution should be implemented.

References

Ask your software solution vendor to provide you with at least three references with whom you can cross-check about the software’s functioning, ease of use, any software related issues.

Queries

Is the user interface easy to navigate? Individual or group login and password? Password recovery process? 

Is it having mobile phone app or support? Safety and security of users personal data? 

Integration with other softwares to import content from them?
