Hi everyone, it’s Karsten from Knowledge Anywhere. Today, we’re going over questions to ask when picking an LMS. Finding the right learning management system for your organization can be a long and tedious process. Businesses usually look into dozens of providers during the course of their search. However, it’s important to make sure you’re evaluating the right aspects and asking the right questions from the beginning.
What’s the best pricing option for my company?
The best pricing option will naturally depend on your overall budget. Try to determine what you’ve spent on learning in the past and how much you’re willing to spend on a newer system. Consider how the LMS will scale as your company grows, both in budget and capabilities. Can the solution you’re considering accommodate any growth that you might have?
What will the LMS implementation process be like?
Try to find out the average installation and initial onboarding time for the solution as a whole. Don’t rely on a solution that requires you to figure that out on your own. Find out whether you will be able to receive vendor-side support during implementation.
What integrations can I leverage for productivity and efficiency?
Integrations are important for streamlining the e-learning process and tracking the impact of your training. Three integrations to look out for are single sign-on, xAPI, and any software apps that you already use.
Are there extra perks that come with the LMS?
Alongside specific integrations, it’s important to ask LMS vendors if there are any extra tools or services that come with the LMS. Specific ones to look out for are those with built-in content creation or deals with partner products to access free e-learning tools or apps.
How can I measure the impact for my organization?
You need to know which metrics you should measure to evaluate the effectiveness of your LMS. Once you know these metrics, it’s easier to find a solution with these metrics integrated. The more you think about this early on, the better.
