The Key Benefits of Learning Management Systems

by Robert Fogarty

Dec 29, 2013 E-Learning/CALL 2880 Views

As we have increasingly moved into a digital age, everything we do has become more technical. The way we communicate, the way we socialize, the way we entertain ourselves, and even the way we learn - all of these things are now done increasingly on digital platforms.

One learning tool that is often used in the educational and corporate world is LMSs, which stands for Learning Management Systems. These systems provide a very effective learning tool that can be rolled out to specific groups based on the environment and sector in which you are using the system. Of course, in order to enjoy the full benefits that an LMS can offer, you need to make sure you choose the right one for your needs. However, once you have determined which LMS is the right one for you, you will be able to look forward to a range of benefits.

Some of the main benefits of using an LMS

There are a number of benefits that come from using an LMS. Some of these include:

Greater consistency: Because an LMS provides a centralized learning facility, it ensures consistency across the board. This is an important part of ensuring that those using the system to learn and all being taught the same thing rather than being shown different ways of doing things. Consistency is an important part of the corporate and educational world, and a good LMS will ensure that consistency is a key priority.

Flexibility: Using an LMS ensures increased flexibility, as individual can access it at any time and from any location, that offers internet access. It can also be accessed by a number of users at the same time, which adds to the flexibility that these systems offer.

Enhanced monitoring and tracking: With an LMS, tracking and monitoring learning and progress becomes far easier, which means it becomes easier to determine where improvements are needed as well as being able to better pinpoint areas of success. This can form an important part of the overall learning experience and functionality of the system.

Continued evaluation: With Learning Management Systems, capabilities and knowledge can be evaluated on a regular basis, which helps to determine how effective the learning process has been. Evaluation can be performed before the course is taken, part way through the course, and upon completion of the course.

Convenience for companies/institutions and students: An LMS is able to offer increased convenience to all concerned, from the company or institution that has invested in the system through to those who will be using it to learn from it. The online platform used by an LMS means greater ease, convenience, and freedom when it comes to learning.

More cost-effective: The e-learning nature of an LMS means that there are also money-saving benefits that can be enjoyed. Sending people out to take part in training can result in a range of costs. It also means greater productivity and more time efficiency, as there is no need for time and money wasting factors such as staff having to travel to get training.

With all of these benefits available, it is little wonder that Learning Management Systems have enjoyed increased popularity over the years.
