What are the benefits of using an LMS?

There are many benefits to using a Learning Management System - whether this is your first encounter with an LMS or you are currently evaluating a different solution - there is a learning management solution that will not only meet your needs but provide additional value to your organization.

Organize all Material in one Location

While this may seem obvious, a learning management system provides the opportunity to get and stay organized by housing all learning material in one location as well as administer it from that platform. With the right LMS, it becomes easy to deploy learning solutions to large bodies of individuals, organize content in the best manner for learning, and stay up-to-date on certifications or learning tracks for each employee or student. Have you ever lost parts of your training content? Or struggled to keep trainings straight for each student that needs to take a class? When organizing your content in one location - the next steps of administration of content and course completions becomes much easier.

Unlimited Access to Materials

Most LMSs are available to reached 24/7/365 - they are mobile, they are user friendly, and they are ready to go, all day, everyday. This is wonderful news for the student and the course administrators. Gone are the days of showing up to a classroom to jam in as much content as possible in a certain amount of time. With the learning-on-the-go style that is achievable through an LMS, students and employees are now able to learn when and where they want to. Not to mention, when in a classroom setting with no where to place learning materials to ensure they are accessible, LMSs allow for companies, institutions, and organizations to upload content and make accessible to all students and employees at any time they may need the material.

Easily Monitor Progress and Performance

Within many LMSs, there is a built in tracker to ensure the progress and completion of courses by the students and employees that need to take the course. Not only is progress and completion necessary to monitor within an eLearning platform, but it is also important to check for mastery through performance indicators. Whether through the passing of a test or skill, or through completion of certain steps - these trackers are important to ensure each employee is learning what they need to ensure success as it is measured by your organization. With easy to use reporting features that have been built in to many LMSs, it is now faster than ever to see what employees or students are learning and retaining, as well as what needs more effort to ensure the highest performance.

Reduces Learning and Development Costs

While this may not seem intuitive, especially with the adoption of LMSs that can be costly per employee or student, with the added features of an LMS (built in tracking for training, one place to manage all training, etc.), adopting an LMS solution saves time and money from current training costs. Deployment of trainings is now reusable and scalable across organizations from year to year, additionally, the right LMS will help ensure employees are up to date on certifications or licenses to help avoid fines from noncompliance. Most companies struggle to keep up with the new demands for professional development, an LMS helps companies stay focused on the training of employees while also providing the necessary tools to help advance continued education for each person no matter their position or rank. Not to mention - every single time a training is delivered through and eLearning platform, consistency is ensured. If someone takes a course within a classroom, the results are not as repeatable or scalable as if someone takes the same course that many before have taken, completed, and learned from. This ensures consistency across the material that is learned and that each learner has heard the exact same message, every single time it is delivered.

Simplified Learning Experience

A learning management system can help simplify the learning process for many employees and students. With effortless access to information, and adjustable tracks to follow to ensure complete learning - it has never been more straightforward to understand what is expected of employees and students alike to take the next step in their careers, positions, or educational advancement.

Stay Up-To-Date with Compliance Regulations

As previously mentioned, and especially if your organization is in a regulated industry, it can be especially helpful to employ an LMS to help stay on time and up-to-date with compliance regulations. Fines can be costly, but with the aid of an LMS, it can become increasingly easier to monitor employees that are on track with regulations, and those that are not to ensure that they take the time to re-certify or or retake exams for licensure. Now with “rules” or “tracks” within LMSs, it takes the guesswork out of regulations and instead scans current employees against regulations that you have added to the system to measure compliance. In certain LMSs, they can also automatically notify managers and employees alike of impending important dates to take notice of at an individual level - thus avoiding costly penalties.
