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 there currently using it.
Let me know!
THANKS!
Tim
- Digital course versioning coming
- Via Mass Admin Enroll, can assign a course to individual with a due date
- Via Campaigns, can assign content to dynamic audiences (example, new hire)
- No one supports Flash lol
- Depending upon course design, course time can be tracked
- New Home and Discover learning experience allows for audience customization
- Search engine has been improved, but always room for improvement
- Learning Experience consume enhancements improved completion experience
- Now offers retraining options
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your helpful posts.
I'm wondering if you are still using Workday with Articulate and if you have updates about your experience? Thank you.
Hi all,
very helpful discussion.
My company is launching Workday system, including the LMS. As a learning manager, I am not convinced by the user experience and capacity offered by the LMS.
Could anyone share how the solution is not answering the basic functions of an LMS?
Many thanks!

Hi,
One of the biggest issues I find is that the system is not adaptable at all. It is what it is and you can't change it.
- There is no inherant way to create content within the LMS. Like quiz building is the biggest one. Most LMS's (I find) allow you to build a question bank and quiz or test so that it is separate from media etc. workday is very limited in only allowing you to create a survey or add questioning in a video clip.
- The survey function drives me nuts. It has to be pre-created and then it has to be sent out. So you can't use a survey as a work around for the quiz issue above.
- There are a whole bunch of mandatory fields when creating a course, lesson, or program. And if you don't specify it, it won't let you proceed. For example, if you choose to create a blended learning course with one part instructor led in class, you must specify a location for the classroom, you must specify an instructor etc.
- There isn't an easy way to enroll a student into a course or program from the course or program page- you can only enroll learners from the 'mass enrollment' function, and then only if they are from within the group you already suggest. Or a learner can self-enroll.
- The only options for lesson creation are external content (web link), webinar, classroom, media, training activity (But again, you must assign an assessor), or survey - which has to be pre-created, you can't do it from within the course.
- Something as simple as a check box to say 'I have done the pre-reading' isn't available.
- As a content creator or administrator I can't create a course or program and preview it immediately. I have to launch it, and then go and enroll in the program before I can view it.
- It is not easy to delete a course or program.
For those that moved over to WD Learning, what steps did you take to ensure your courses successfully migrated over to WD Learning?
Do you have a 'worksheet' you could share?
Quick Workday LMS questions for you all -
1. Does Workday LMS have a deep content authoring tool, one like Rise or others?2. Could someone build courses in more of a “semester-like" format in Workday LMS, and could I attach multiple assessments to the semester and ultimately have them aggregated for a course grade automatically?
3. Could I automate some of our social learning requirements, like “forcing learners to post a comment of their own in a discussion forum, and responding to 2 other learner’s posts in the discussion forum?”Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has any recent feedback on Workday LMS. Would be very helpful to know. Thanks.
Hello,
We are also looking at WD, would love to have anyone reach out and provide some lessons learned or things to watch out for.
Thanks!

Hi All,
My company is currently assessing WD LMS (we currently use Docebo and LRN). A lot of these posts, although helpful, were 2+ years ago. Curious what the experience and perspective is now that updates have been made to WD LMS. Any good to know items or things that I wouldn't get in a demo that are important to call out?
Any help is truly appreciated.

Hi Lindsay,
Our company went from Saba LMS to Workday Learning in 2020. The course and learner data migration went very smoothly. As the LMS adminstrator for Saba, I was accustomed to making simple things like marking courses completed or adding a course that may have been missed in the migration. This is not possible in Workday without an Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB), which must be done by our HRIS team and is super annoying.
It has been my experience that Workday is a Learning Application, and not an LMS. As an administrator, I find it frustrating on may levels do do basic tasks in bulk, like managing digital course completions.
Thanks,
Beverly
Thank you, Beverly. This is very helpful information!
Thank you!
Hello, we've recently introduced Workday Learning as the new LMS for our company. I'm interested in understanding your approach to monitoring and generating reports when utilizing Storyline for creating quizzes. Specifically, I'm looking to access detailed information about participants' responses, including both correct and incorrect answers for each quiz item. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi John, did you ever figure out the reporting piece? I'm looking for the same detailed information in my org.
Hey Tim!
We recently implemented Workday LMS at our organization and have found it to be quite user-friendly and efficient. It definitely took some adjustment, but the overall experience has been positive. I'd be happy to chat and share insights if you need more detailed information!
Best,
Hi! I'd love to hear more about your experiences with WDL and articulate. --how's the reporting been?
