Normally, all the training is completed online and is meant to complement another source of learning whether through college or work, thus offering ‘blended learning’. Due to the advancements in technology, LMS’s are becoming extremely popular with the population as well as with businesses as they provide a cost-effective method of training. In truth, the benefits of using an LMS are numerous so it’s no wonder that a specific Google search returns nearly five million hits! Let’s take a look at the best LMS companies on the market for 2016!
Litmos - This is perhaps one of the biggest names because it is affordable and of a good quality; furthermore, administrators can customise courses so their employees receive the maximum benefit. After first targeting the mid-market at launch, Litmos very quickly attracted the big names and their client base now includes YouTube and Adidas. Shopify is also used to integrate the course fully and for this reason, and many others, Litmos has become the go-to LMS for many companies, big or small.
Absorb - Another popular option is Absorb, it has been praised for its user interface and its approach when using filters. Absorb offers fully-dedicated plans whether it is for training internally or externally and it also offers mobile support as well as a high-quality apps for all clients. Absorb is more expensive but offers some benefits with the main being its ease-of-use and regular weekly updates.
Grovo - Many companies erroneously believe that all LMS’s take a long time to set up but Grovo promises to have anyone set up and ready to go within five minutes. Allowing administrators to deliver, track, and report on their materials, Grovo has taken the approach of micro-lessons and less customisation which, again, is great if you want to be up and running as soon as possible.
Moodle - Boasting 60 million total users, the largest number recorded by an LMS, Moodle is mostly free as it relies on administration from the user. Furthermore, it includes peer assessment, real-time messaging, workshops, and more. Moodle has become popular in recent years and boasts a number of clients including the Open University, many government bodies, and even abroad in the likes of Spain and Columbia.
