Are you thinking about investing in a Learning Management System? Find out more about the benefits of an LMS in this blog.
If you don’t have a modern LMS at the moment, how are you currently sharing your eLearning?
Are you:
- Using an Intranet or enterprise social network?
- Hosting your courses on a cloud-based web server?
- Still using a legacy LMS but in the most minimal way possible, as the set-up doesn’t match your current requirements?
- Using a mix of all of the above, with your courses scattered in various places?
These solutions are OK if your key objective is simply delivering courses to your learners.
But it’s likely that, like many other L&D professionals and Chief Learning Officers, you’re under pressure to prove the business impact of your learning. Or, your learners might be asking for anytime-anywhere learning.
And if you’re in a high-consequence industry, you’ll be concerned about meeting stringent security and compliance regulations, too.
When your requirements start to become more complex, an LMS is likely to be the only solution that can meet your needs.
With that in mind, here are six benefits that Learning Management Systems can deliver over and beyond hosting solutions.
Benefits of modern learning management systems #1: Hosting options
The main advantage with a modern LMS is that it gives you a choice in how to deliver your learning.
With an LMS like NetDimensions Learning, you can either host your learning on the cloud with SaaS hosting solutions or install an on-premise LMS that sits on a server within your organization. Both of these approaches have different benefits, so having the flexibility to decide on the best solution for your organization is vital.
