LMS
The most common platform choice for companies is a learning management system, despite some trends such as LXP (Learning Experience Platform). In this explainer, I focused mostly on Moodle as one of the foundational choices for an LMS. However, my intention with this explainer is to highlight the endless options when it comes to finding the right platform for our learning content.
Learning Environment
A common mistake projects often make is solely focusing on the learning product, in other words, the content, which most of the time is in SCORM format. While losing sight of the environment where that it will be implemented. The environment is just as important as the content itself; they need to complement each other. I personally enjoy working with platforms and designing, structuring the environment for learners.
In my early years, I mostly had to deal with the formal, classical learning environment, which is Moodle. Over the years, however, technology has developed for the better, and there are many much better hands-on solutions to simplify the LMS problem.
Everything tends to move towards cloud-based solutions, which I personally favor for various reasons. The number one is the learning experience, which is best supported by a modern, cloud-based platform. Most companies choose Docebo as a comprehensive platform, but iSpring Learn LMS is also a great choice for a high-end learning experience. Measurement is another important aspect: reporting on learners’ activity, behaviour, and performance is vital.
Regardless of the technology, I also emphasize the importance of understanding the fundamentals behind the platforms. How they are built, what technology is behind them, how SCORM formats are programmed and designed, and how they behave. What is HTML and how does it work? These may sound intimidating to someone who focuses solely on content, but for a complete, winning learning product, this is a luxury that a professional learning experience designer can’t afford.
