What is a Learning Management System? In any effective work or learning environment in the 21st century, you will find that they make good use of Learning Management Systems, or LMSs. They are the platforms on which one uploads or creates course content for their company or their university course. This content can come in many forms such as audio files, video files, PowerPoint, or interactive content.
Where Can I Use It? As it is software, it can be accessed from the Internet and from any server if you have a login.
Why is it Efficient? Learning Management Systems have become the preferred method to train employees, rather than constantly wasting valuable working time to meet together or to spend unnecessary amount of money on training books that will be thrown away after its first use.
Why is it Effective? In addition, the program can keep track of what trainings the employees have completed. Unlike with a book, where the assignment is given and it is only based on their word that they did the necessary work, the learning management system can show what was really done. You can also schedule trainings to be completed by a certain date through the system. All of these records of trainings can then be stored on the system for later.
Audio Audio content can be by itself or paired with pictures, or interactive questions. This provides the feeling that they are actually being trained by a person, as well as beneficial for those that are auditory learners. Video Video can show in more than just audio paired with still pictures what exactly you are talking about. Depending on the trainings, this can be necessary. It makes the material easier to understand, as well as easier to possibly memorize for visual learners.
PowerPoint The presentation that you may have given via PowerPoint can now be shown through your Learning Management System. Be sure to write in bullets and keep it short and simple as lengthy PowerPoints can be taxing to get all the way through. It is important to remember than any learning method can be futile if the content is not up to snuff. As long as your training content is good, the Learning Management System will be a good support system for your employees to get the quality training you want for them in the comfort of their own homes.
