Choosing an LMS for Storyline
Sep 01, 2015
Hello everyone,
Newb here (sorry I don't have a recent picture yet!).
I used captivate v2.0 (very old version) for developing standalone offerings a few moons ago, so not sure if that counts!
We are using Storyline (love the tool!) and we need an LMS to manage courses and learners' competencies, curricula and exams/results/credit assignment. We need something easy to use and manage, and as out-of-the-box as possible. We will have a small number of active (concurrent) users (5 or less), and would like to host our LMS locally on our cloud. We will have a several dozen eLearning offerings for our customers, and later on, for our employees. We probably have the necessary hardware, technical savvy and support, but not sure whether or not we need an LMS partner. Most everyone is saying you need one.
I read https://community.articulate.com/discussions/building-better-courses/need-help-with-lms-decision-is-moodle-that-great with great interest. It has loads of information, but some of its aspects are a bit overwhelming. It looks like Moodle can be daunting, according to many of the comments I've read. Our main priority is ease-of-use, and we don't mind paying for a good LMS - that, or Moodle and someone like Moodlerooms to manage it. Some info in it seems contradictory (is Docebo freeware or not? I must be tired!). It looks like Absorb, Docebo and Totara are tools worth trying.
So, with our small number of active users and our requirements, what do you guys suggest we choose as an LMS, and perhaps a partner? Would it make sense for someone like me (training, mainframe programming/analysis background - not super technical) to be the LMS administrator, or should someone in our technical group play that role?
I can provide more info if required.
Much of the info on this board is useful but not so recent.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Cheers
Joe

Hi Joe,
You may also want to post this in the Building Better Courses side of the forums, as these type of requests seem to get more feedback and visibility there whereas this side tends to focus on product and technical support.
Best of luck with your course development!
Thanks very much, Ashley! I did.
BTW I had surgery, and I now have a new face: the profile does not allow for a picture change.
Anyone know how to do it? :)
Hi Joe,
If you go to your profile which you can access by clicking on your image in the top right hand corner of the ELH page, when you hover over your profile picture you'll see the option to update your profile image.
Thanks again, Ashley!
I guess I didn't scour the whole profile area for links!
Surgery successful :)
Hmm, I was half expecting Nicholas Cage...
Glad you were able to figure it out.
