Custom Learning Experiences: When No LMS Will Do
NOW AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND
Recorded Wednesday, July 26, 2017
Are training revenues the lifeblood of your business? With so much at stake, you can’t afford a learning platform and content that misses the mark. Yet, even with more than 700 LMSs available today, it’s easy to come up short.
That’s because most LMSs were built to support mandatory employee compliance training. They weren’t designed to attract, engage and support voluntary training customers with compelling, adaptive and social learning experiences. So, when an out-of-the-box LMS can’t meet your commercial training objectives, what should you do?
To differentiate themselves and sell more content, higher-end learning providers are turning to custom learning experiences. But what should you know before you dig in? Edward Daciuk, Principal Learning Strategist at ExtensionEngine and I will map it out for you.

I’ll be joined by one of the world’s best LMS experts, Gary Underhill, Sr. Solution Architect at Expertus, as we help you take a deep dive into the uncertain waters of extended enterprise learning.
