Which LMS do you use and why?

This has been a very interesting discussion. Marty, I think your idea of asking LMS vendors to step through specific tasks is a great idea.

Karyn, your story sounds a lot like mine. I was hired after we chose AbsorbLMS as our first LMS. We went live at the beginning of 2011. It has been a bumpy road. There are a lot of good things about Absorb and a lot of challenges. I work for an association and we use the LMS to keep track of our members' education, including CPE credits. The user interface is fairly simple, but some of our users had trouble with pop-ups, Flash, and security settings that can be hard to overcome because we have no control over their systems. But I expect that might be the case with a lot of LMSes. We also did SSO integrating with our association management system. I sometimes wonder if it would have been easier to use their shopping cart instead. Our other big issue is with our certificates because of the detailed information we need to include on them for CPE purposes. I'd love to have more control over them.

I can say that the people at Absorb have been very responsive when I've noticed problems, but I have had to create a lot of work arounds and figure things out for myself. Sometimes I think I'm just trying to put a round peg in a square hole.

I'd love to hear what other associations are using.
