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?

In Academia the new popular LMS has been Canvas. I like it because its written in HTML5 and it gives you a lot of nice features such as drag and drop and the ease of embedding videos.

Wow, this has been an excellent thread, thanks everyone! Like many, I went with Learn that lead to Taleo then Oracle. We are in the process of looking for something else now. My team does not want another confining LMS. They want the content to be accessible to many without the seat restrictions, yet still have reporting capabilities for those who access the courses. I am just learning about SCORM Cloud and wanted to ask the group if anyone is using this type of format to deliver their content?
Thanks in advance.

We use SkillSoft. If you threw your custom courses down the toilet and caught what came out the other end, you'd have something better than SkillSoft.
This just about sums it up. It is a piece of junk. Any ideas around best settings for publishing to SCORM using html 5 and accessing on an iPad? - jeffblasdellCommunity Member
We use Litmos. We get great support from them. Out-of -the-box reporting is weak, but it's simple to use and easy for our trainees to learn. I've not used any other so nothing to compare to. I do like my Litmos.

I am a newbie and lots of Uni people I am talking to are saying - Moodle coz it is free - but then I have heard others say that it is hard to learn....I am just about complete with my first Storyline course and need to make a decision on where to put it. Maybe Articulate Online to begin?
Any suggestions on where to go from here would be really appreciated.
thanks.

I went through trials last year and ended up choosing Litmos. I'm all about simple and the process to choose an LMS provider was simple as well. I "googled" LMS providers, of which there are MANY, and narrowed it down to 6 on a short list. The BASIC criteria I used for the short list : 1)how many learners we had 2) Price 3) US support 4) Ease of use. Then I assembled a team of 4 to attend webinars presnted by the LMS short list providers and we posed questions and watched their demo. A few we called back for a "second interview webinar". Litmos was the hands down favorite because it met all the criteria, ease of use, being THE most important. We all figured it out without even needing a user guide. Litmos is not as robust as some products that are out there but we didn't need a full talent management product and we didn't have time to stumble through an un-intuitive product.

we are trying to migrate to SAP and keep finding bugs...not sure how long it will take but has been about a year in the works. My recommendation is that whatever LMS you choose, make sure it is managed well by people who know what they are doing. A

We used CMS 4.0 for the past 4 years. The system is outdated due to compatibility to 64 bits system. We're in the process of investigating to implement a new LMS and reading the comments does not help very much. Our criteria for a LMS is 1. Compatable with SAP 2. Course design 3. Records and reporting. I will appreciate any assistance.
