Which LMS do you use and why?
Hey all,
Just a quick question to you....what LMS do you use and why?
I use Moodle 2.1.2 currently. Why? It seemed like a good idea at the time! Now I'm frustrated with the SCORM reporting and interface.
Any thoughts?

We are using Blackboard 9.1 SP8, its best among all existing LMS. unlimited features, app integration, easy accessibility, SCORM standard compliant, Assessment, reporting, monitoring task activity, report generation along with tools up-gradation, interactive learning, mobile learning, collaborative learning, Social activity synchronisation etc.
Everything is available in Blackboard !!

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with Inspired LMS. I've run some of their demos and it look good but would like to hear from anyone who has used it. Thanks.

I have experience using the following:
Meridian
Blackboard
Adobe Connect
Overall, I liked Adobe Connect's LMS the most. Is the eastiest to use (for learners) out of the three. I think the style and interface is the most current. The reporting features and back end functionality was intuitive and functional.

We are using JoomlaLMS for a year already, and are quite happy with the solution!
It has a wide list of features: http://www.joomlalms.com/features/ and is highly customizable. The prices are affordable. Thanks to the integration with JomSocial we created a social network to make learning less academic and more enjoyable.
Among cons I would mention weak reporting system and lack of mobile application (btw, in elaboration, as assured by their support team, let's hope...

We've been managing for a long time without one. The presentations write to a database which isn't ideal. We're now getting moodle 2.1 which should be installed next week. A partner company I have done some work for uses Totara, but I'm yet to see the benefits that it brings over Moodle. I mean it has good reporting functions and you can build in a company hierarchy which is great, but it's a lot of money for what is essentially Moodle with some plugins.
I'm not the buiggest fan of Moodle, but compared to our current method of reporting, it's going to be a blessing.
in the past I've also used Kallidus from e2train which was pretty good.
I think there is one common theme though when it comes to an LMS, we will always have our issues, whichever on ewe use because none of them are perfect and all of them have faults!

No perfect solution exists.
Make your list of must haves and nice to haves.
Pick the one that comes the closest.

i agree with Rebbeca Hay, their isnt a perfect solution unless money is no objection. what you need to is make a comprehensive list of your requrements and list of functionality( regardless if you need them or not) so you dont get any surprises.
few basic things you need to consider:
1) interoperability- do you need to the system to interact with existing or upcoming systems
2) in house experts- will you guys be able to troubleshoot internaly
3) usability- how is it to use to navigate around the site from a user perspective
4) vendor background- this is often ignored. please check their credibilty, support level etc. sometimes this can make all the difference.
