Ideas for Naming LMS
Hi Team!
I'm looking for ideas to name our LMS internally. I found an older thread about this but it wasn't much help for me.
We are trying to stay away from anything that sounds too formal like university or academy. We also do not want anything related to our industry because one of the newest company divisions isn't really in the same industry, and culturally they don't see themselves belonging in the same category.
Right now, my ideas are Learn, Studio, The Learning Studio, and ...that's it.
What names have you seen people use? What ideas might you have?
Thanks in advance!

If I could, I'd use one of the following names:
Illume-U
Expound Town
Elicit-Ton
Appri-Zon (pronounced like zon in Amazon) or Appris-Zone
The Know-City

Thank you Philip. I made these names up when you mentioned the words "ideas" in your question. Hope it was helpful.
Let me know once you finalize a name. Cheers!

Dunno if it's a SumTotal thing, but one organization I worked for called the internal LMS "The Learning Center," after which I found a few OTHER SumTotal installs at other organizations also calling their instance "Learning Center."

Thanks, Joseph. I've seen a lot of generic names like that in use. Maybe it's just easier and straightforward that way instead of trying to be too clever. We're leaning towards "The Learning Studio" or "Learning Studio" at the moment.

We are in the process of naming our new LMS also. At previous organizations, I've seen the following:
The Learning Zone
[Company] Learn
Success Center
the Learning Center
One consideration is if your LMS houses more than just learning capabilities. When our LMS combined with HRIS functions, we changed from [Company] Learn to Success Center because we wanted the name to reflect that there was more than just learning happening in that space.

This is a great condieration. I'll have to do some thinking. Thank you, Amy!

If i understood correctly, it is for the LMS internally.
MyLearning
but i dont know if there is copyright on that..and if that applies for none commercial purposes like internal use only.- JoeFrancisCommunity Member
Highly unlikely, and if its an internal LMS, how would said copyright holder enforce it? I've never heard that name and I've been in the industry for 30+ years now.
