Hey guys.. back again for some more advice!! Can anyone point me in the direction of some solid, unbiased advice on choosing an LMS? it seems there are so many out there, and its really difficult to find information that isn't directly from the LMS providers website or blog - anyone found a clever way of comparing?
After many considerations, we went for a customized Moodle 1.9.8 installation.
I've been happily using it for two years.
In these days I'm moving to a new fantastic Moodle 2 installation (still customized by my Moodle provider).
My simple advice is: choose a partner (A Moodle/Docebo/eFront/Dokeos Certified Partner and reseller)... work together to set up the best suitable LMS for your needs (So it depends on No. of users, whether the LMS is for your company or for customers, etc. etc.)
and finally... trust him.
Totara is great (in english). Docebo is great, too... take some tours and try them.
Unless you need something really cool, like Absorb LMS by Blatant... or other big LMS like Blackboard, Saba, Plateau, etc.
I know this is a very late response, but just reading your suggestions and wondering if you still recommend Moodle? Wondering what price range the customized LMS are in comparison to a general LMS.
