Which LMS do you use and why?

It all dependson you requirements and budget. Moodle was the first LMS our company ever used.It was a matter of price totally. I wasn’t there at that time, but it is the onlyplus factor to choose the one I heard about. The same factor became a reason tochange Moodle to JoomlaLMS. You get Moodle for free but have to pay when youneed to solve problems or customize it. It turned to be too expensive for us.

For exampleour teacher creates courses/quizzes with Articulate products. Articulate comesup with update and then you face that your new created courses go haywire whenpublished. It is all about compatibility with your LMS. If you use Moodle noone is really interested to update it ASAP. You will find a folk to make thiscustomization, but it costs. Here is where we had a problem with Moodle.

Now we havebeen using JoomlaLMS for a year and satisfied.Why did we choose it? It is all about cost once again. JoomlaLMS is a goldenmean between free open source LMSs and proprietary ones. It is based on free opensource CMS. JoomlaLMS code is open, license files are encoded only. So you getthe solution almost equal to open source and free to find any external folk tocustomize the system. You just have to pay them more than reasonable price oncea year to prolong your license and subscription to updates and support.

When youuse a proprietary LMS you can expect it to be updated quite quickly as the teamis motivated. You have to pay extra for special custom development if you needit to be done urgently. Any way you save time at least and money while they arenot interested to charge you too much and kill your loyalty. One-source supportand updates matters!
