Is anyone using Workday LMS?
Hey Gang!
I'm curious if anyone out there is using the Workday LMS? Here at GoDaddy, we're exploring the possibility of moving to Workday for our LMS vendor and we'd love to chat with anyone out t...
Hi Colleen,
We are currently using Saba and thinking of moving to Workday Learning, why do you say it's not an LMS?
hi Beverly,
There are several different reasons I wouldn't recommend using Workday's LMS. A few of the big ones are:
- You can't upload updated versions of courses without whipping everyone's record.
- You can't assign individual due dates to users for a course.
- You can't auto-assign course work to new users.
- We've encountered a lot of problems with custom content playing and recording properly in Workday and was told that the Workday UI does not support flash. (as I side note, when I spoke with them about the error messages our users were getting we were told that the majority of their users do not create their own content but get it from 3rd party providers).
- We can't see how many times someone has launched a course or how long they were in the course.
- We can't customize the UI for different user groups.
- Personally, I feel like the search engine is also clunky and could be improved.
- From a user perspective, we've had issues where people complete a course but are not sure if they have completed it (and in some cases accidentally enroll in it again so it shows as "in progress" or "not started")
- For our compliance training, we are having to retire the courses each year and create new courses for the following year since the system will only maintain one completion record.
Those are just a few of the issues we've encountered with Workday. I've spoken with several people at Workday and offered to speak with their product team, but haven't heard back from them yet.
If you would like to talk further, let me know.
Hi Colleen, wow - this makes me nervous! We are moving towards Workday (testing about to commence). I will raise the points you make above with our implementing partner, and would be happy to share what I learn with you.
In the meantime, we currently have many of our eCourses developed using Articulate Rise, and I am about to publish them for testing in Workday. Any recommendations on the best version of SCORM to publish?
e.g. SCORM 1.2 or 2004 v2,3,4?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
NarelleColleen, are you still using WD Learning, and have you seen any of these issues you mentioned corrected if so?
hi Christa - We actually made the decision to leave Workday and go with a different LMS. We found a system that better served our needs.
Hi Colleen,
which LMS did you for?
Hi Colleen - do you have an update at all on Workday Learning with regards to the points you've raised here. Have these been fixed or do you still have these issues? Many thanks B
Has anyone encountered problems with Workday and languages that read right to left, like Hebrew and Arabic? Our LMS person is having a hard time getting the cover page to read right to left and not backwards. Thank you!
