The top priorities for companies currently looking for a new learning management system (LMS) are the ability to include videos and let employees access the learning content via mobile devices. However, according to elearningindustry.com, these are not the fundamental criteria that should be examined before selecting a specific LMS solution. Organizations should definitely not forget about the following three prerequisites of the right choice of LMS.
1. Centralized solution
Look for an LMS which provides an easily accessible, cataloged and searchable library of learning materials. Do not be afraid of choosing a cloud solution. A cloud offers a number of advantages. You will not have to deal with the large capacity needed to store your video content or with how to connect users outside your company.
2. Integration and reporting
Your new LMS should enable the integration of your existing learning materials. It should also be able to process the reports and analysis that you require. This applies particularly to measuring the effectiveness of online learning and the degree of user involvement.
3. Data security
Last but not least, make sure that you are comfortable with the level of data security offered by the particular LMS. This involves protection of both third-party licensed content and your own learning content that you enter into the system. The system should also be easily accessible for all potential content authors who could cooperate with you.
