How to Choose the Right LMS for Employee Training
Learning management systems are transforming how organizations deliver professional development and training experiences. But with increased demand comes higher expectations from everyone. Employees, the consumers of content, expect it to be relevant and easy to access. Trainers want to be able to create, curate and customize the best content possible. To do all of that, you need the right LMS and partner. This guide walks you through the process.
How to Choose the Right LMS for Associations
Learning management systems are transforming how organizations deliver professional development and training experiences. Members, the consumers of content, expect it to be relevant and easy to access. Learning leaders want to be able to create, curate and customize the best content possible. The association needs to know that learning is having an impact—whether boosting retention, driving skills development or getting learners up to speed fast.
How to Choose the Right Customer Training LMS
Customer training solutions are becoming more important for organizations of all types. From improving the customer experience to driving increased adoption, it’s about getting customers up to speed fast and making sure they’re equipped to use products and services to their fullest potential. One central piece of the tech stack is a learning management system (LMS), but finding the right solution can be challenging.
Podcast 56: Inside the Modern LMS, with John Baker
It’s not every day I get the chance to interview a learning industry rockstar, but today is one of those days. That’s because I’m talking with John Baker, President and CEO of D2L – a leading LMS company he founded almost 24 years ago. John is an innovator with a bold vision for the modern LMS. He’s a true expert with insight into what’s ahead for learning experience design, skills and competencies, personalization, learning cohorts, measurement, and much more.
One of the best ways to rate and judge learning vendors is by the quality and quantity of their public client case studies. Take a look at this selection of case studies from D2L:
(ISC)2 + D2L
(ISC)² aims to ensure that all its 150,000 members stay on top of the latest developments. Its new Professional Development Institute (PDI) worked with D2L to launch a massively scalable training program. The results include a 2x increase in course enrollment, 4x increase in course completion and improved satisfaction scores ranging between 92% and 99%.
Harvard Business Publishing + D2L
To streamline the learner experience, Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning worked with D2L’s Learning and Creative Services to rethink its course templates, making it easier to deliver client-specific learning journeys at scale. The new version of its blended learning platform saw significantly improved user feedback, visual clarity, learner experience and learner engagement.
PartsSource + D2L
After using D2L’s Brightspace learning management system (LMS) during the COVID-19 crisis, PartsSource decided to use the same platform to host its Partners Symposium—a major event that the company successfully delivered 100% online. The company intended to use this platform not only to provide training, but also to create an online community and social network.
Colliers Project Leaders + D2L
By adopting D2L’s Brightspace platform, Colliers Project Leaders can train more people and raise skill levels faster, which is critical to maintaining the service quality of a business with an average annual growth rate of 15% per year. In the first 12 months since the launch, over 670 active learners have used the Brightspace platform to achieve more than 4,000 course completions.
Dematic + D2L
Working with D2L, Dematic has built a transparent, scalable certification program that helps engineers and managers match the right skills to the right projects. Dematic’s new competency-based certification program accelerated onboarding from 12 months to 8 weeks, helping new employees quickly gain the skills they need in order to deliver value to clients.
