Which LMS do you use and why?

For our employees, we use a homegrown LMS that we've been very happy with. However, formakingtraining available to non-employees, SCORM Cloud looks very promising: http://scorm.com/scorm-solved/how-others-are-using-scorm-cloud/

We are using moodle as well

Hi Everyone

I have a question regarding which LMS....

A customer of mine want to start an online linguistic e-learning platform. What is important is that it should be possible to play audio and video and that students should be able to record audio and video and play it back too.

Can anyone give me some advise please?

Thanks!

I feel like everyone uses something different and there is always something to complain about. My previous employer purchased Corner Stone On-Demand right before I left for my current job. Right now, we are using a homegrown, "make-shift" solution and I am doubtful it will take us more than 6-9 months.

I have been using Articulate Online to deliver corporate training for my company province wide and we have had nothing but positive feedback and it is very easy to use, track and export reports.

We are not currently using the "log in" feature, instead we have participants sign a detailed guestbook with customized fields that track data for us.

All of that being said we have the $199/month Articulate Online plan, and it has been all that we need and more!

I love Artie

I'm using Moodle 2.2 and we're hosting it internally. We have 5000 students/employees on it; we solely use it to deliver Articulate (SCORM 1.2) courses. It exports the scores to Workday.

(crossing fingers) So far, so good.

Hey Steve,

What's Workday?

Cheers,

We're using Intellum's Exceed LMS. We have about 500 employees using the LMS for internal training. I find it incredibly simple and easy to use. We rolled out a required course to our dispersed employee base and everyone was able to jump in and complete this course with zero pretraining on navigation or use. The reporting features are simple to manipulate and easy to roll out to our managers. It's not fancy, but it works very well for our purposes. 

I've used both Blackboard and Moodle.  Comparing the two on features and ease of use, Blackboard definitely gets my vote. The hosted version is rock-solid reliable and course creation and content deployment are fast, user-friendly and intuitive. I haven't used Moodle nearly as much, but from what I have seen, it seems far more labor intensive and the interface seems far less intuitive. Blackboard also seems to have more and better no-additional-cost training materials than Moodle (at least within the last few years) although that hasn't always been the case. The linear structure of both, however, without customization, seems more aligned to academic rather than professional training environments. Moodle is, however, far less expensive to use and thus may be the better choice for smaller or start up projects.

I've also had some experience with the Ecollege platform and it seems to have some very nice standard features (i.e., a synchronous online classroom capability that is VOIP and desktop sharing enabled) which seem to be available in other platforms like Blackboard but may come at additional cost depending on the license selected.

If anyone has experience with an LMS designed specifically for professional or association training and education (as opposed to academic course delivery) I'd be very interested to learn more about that.

i have a feeling that you've just saved me a bunch of research (that I'm going to do anyway, but still).
