Which LMS do you use and why?

We have just started using Moodle 2.6 (upgraded from 1.9) and are very pleased with it. Our main driver for choosing Moodle was cost. Moodle 2.6 makes it much easier to customise the design than previous versions and also gives us most of the features we require. However, we are experiencing issues with Storyline content not displaying properly on iPads and other mobile devices.

This is a great thread!

I have experience with Blackboard, Moodle and Kenexa (formerly Outstart Evolution). 

My current project uses OpenText Learnflex (formerly Operitel Learnflex).  For the most part, it seem easily configurable (user hierarchy, etc.).  But I'd love to pick someone's brain about course linkage.  Learnflex looks to have several options for course organization (curriculum groups, learning tracks, etc.).  We'd like to have a master course list (100+) courses and several curriculums.  Courses can appear in one or all curriculums.  Some curriculums will have a pre/post tests.  What's my best bet for course organization?

I just saw this thread in the popular conversations, so I thought I'd chime in as well.  Apologies in advance for duplicating any information in the last 8 pages of posts!  (Everyone in these forums is awesome!) 

We started with the Articulate Online solution as we primarily just served one specific audience (external customers), without the need for additional features and reporting.  Now we are currently using Mindflash for our training content to serve multiple learners (clients/customers, partners, and internal employees).

This solution includes the features and delivery mechanism we were looking for and quickly with the right price point.  It was heavily driven by the type of content we were looking to provide to each audience.  This helps us upload a lot of content fast, in a variety of ways (ppt, video, SCORM from Storyline or Captivate, pdf, even YouTube). 

I really think the LMS decision depends on what you are looking to get out of your "tool" or system.  There are quite a few options out there, and I even think your needs may change over time, or vary depending on the size of your company.

Hi,

I know this is an older post but we need a built in exam engine also. Does Saba not have its own internal tool? Can you only build tests with 3rd party authoring tools?

Thanks,

Tim,

I'm sorry but I don't remember the details any more. At the time they didn't have what we needed for creating exams. But enough time has passed that it may be different now.

We use DATS, because we built it. :P  The LMS is our #1 attractor, but that is not all that we do.

www.GetDATS.com if you want to take a peek.

We've build our LMS to work particularly well with Articulate, mostly because that is how we like to author courses, and it's also where our customer's find the greatest success.

We typically work with customers ranging in size from 10 people, to about 5,000 people. Oh, we're also looking for another developer!

Articulate rocks!

I can be found at Scott@GetDATS.com if anybody wants to chat.

Hi,

It's been more than 5 years I am working on different Learning Management Systems and what I observed is that, it's totally depends on the place you working in, whether it's an education sector or corporate.  Under my experience, I got a chance to work with both of them where both sectors were looking for a cost effective but fully featured LMS.  

For education sector, I normally suggest eFront Learning Management System. The platform is designed for schools, colleges and universities. It doesn't mean that you can't implement in your company but their themes are more likely for schools. I love the SCORM feature in it and it's highly effective for articulate products. Efront is capable to run all SCORM content publish from Articulate engage and storyline. 

I also used Blackboard Learn but SCORM compatibility is not commendable. I didn't heard good feedbacks coming from our teachers. 

For Corporate sector, I suggest Moodle 2.x because you shall have an ability to customize your LMS the way you want or you can go for Tetora LMS, an enhance version of Moodle with good support.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

MH

When I worked as an ISD in the healthcare industry, I found HealthStream, Medelearn, and MC Strategies to be easy-to-use, reliable systems.

My company is just starting their move to WBT training, Storyline is their first step into this world. Wondering if anyone knows how good these "free" LMS's are for a corporate world. I am only looking for tracking an reporting, doing all the development in Storyline. Thoughts?

TRACCESS is one of he best for competency management. Moodle is great for course management.
