This document discusses how an LMS (Learning Management System) can help Anna, an instructional designer, and her manager Nathan. Anna spends too much time on administrative tasks for her courses like booking rooms and tracking attendance. Nathan wants to expand their training offerings while reducing Anna's administrative workload. An LMS can help everyone by automating administrative tasks, providing better tracking of training progress and usage, and allowing for expanded training options. Screenshots of various LMS features are provided to demonstrate how users, managers, and instructional designers can benefit from an LMS.
3. Anna is a great ID.
She develops e-learning, ILT,
blended learning, job aids, and more.
She does a little bit of everything,
and her courses get good
anecdotal reviews.
6. Anna spends a lot of
time dealing with
administrative work
related to her courses,
but she doesn’t feel like
she has a great handle
on how everything is
being used and what’s
most effective.
12. LMS Screenshots
The following slides contain screenshots from a
number of different LMSs. These are designed to
provide a very high level snapshot of LMS
capabilities, rather than a detailed feature
review of any particular system.
13. HOW IT HELPS USERS
User Accounts
Permissions
Enrollment
Learning Plans
Course Catalog
30. Everybody wins!
Users, managers, the L&D team, Nathan, and Anna all benefit from the
new system. More people are using training, managers and IDs know
what’s being used and how successful learners are. The L&D team is
growing, and the organization as a whole is stronger because people are
getting the support and training they need.

This presentation was originally developed for a client in the early stages of selecting an LMS. They currently do very little e-learning, and their classroom training is all managed manually with spreadsheets and email.

Anna is a great ID. She develops e-learning, ILT, blended, vILT, etc. She’s a “jack of all trades” and does a little bit of everything. Her courses get good anecdotal reviews.

Anna has a problem. Anna is spending a lot of time dealing with administrative work related to her courses--booking rooms, tracking attendance, monitoring prereqs, reviewing surveys, sending reminder emails, etc. Even though she spends that time, she doesn’t feel like she has a great handle on how everything is being used, what’s most effective, etc.

Anna’s manager, Nathan, has big plans--expansion of e-learning and blended learning, better tracking of everything.
Nathan tasks Anna with researching ways to manage the whole formal training process.
Working with Nathan and the rest of the team, Anna starts making a list of what’s needed. She feels a little overwhelmed.
Anna finds a solution: an LMS.
Emphasize that different systems do different things better or worse (or just differently). This is a very quick tour of the possibilities.
Users register or accounts are created with different permissions
Totara/Moodle profile
Users have different permissions depending on their role and responsibilities
Absorb LMS
Users sign up for courses (and pay for them if appropriate)
PeopleFluent
http://www.peoplefluent.com/ecommerce-learning-portal
Users can see what they’ve taken and what they’re going to take
Upside LMS has an eLearning Plan
Users can search a course catalog and find new courses
Managers can track their team’s progress
IMC
http://www.im-c.de/en/products/imc/software-solutions/learning-suite/highlights/
In some systems, they can report appraisals for their team or set learning goals
Totara
https://demo.totaralms.com/
L&D team can track who has signed up and what courses they take
Intellum Exceed LMS
http://www.intellum.com/join-the-think-tank/
User satisfaction surveys can often be included with courses and tracked easily
Blackboard Learn
Easily upload e-learning created with any tool, whether built by the team or by a vendor
IDs can choose whatever tool is best to build content b/c as long as it’s SCORM, it works in the LMS. Not limited to just Articulate or just Captivate etc.
Learning assessments built and tracked within the system
Totara
Book rooms, manage training calendar
Docebo
How it helps Nathan
He gets his vision of expanded training.
More people use the training
Better tracking means easier to justify cost of developing training and growing the team
How it helps Anna
She spends less time on administrative work
She has lots more info about her courses so she can learn to build better learning
Everybody wins!
