These two solutions hold the promise of transforming your approach to learning and development, but understanding their unique features can be a daunting task. We're here to help alleviate your struggle by clarifying these terms and shedding light on the evolution of the educational technology landscape.
How it all began
Learning Management Systems (LMS): The forerunner of learning
In the 90’s, the early stages of the digital revolution, the LMS emerged as the forerunner of modern learning and development. LMS solutions brought structure and organization to training efforts. These systems became the go-to solution for content management and administration of learning initiatives.
With an LMS, you can:
✅ Manage courses: create and organize courses, modules, and learning materials.
✅ Manage learners: enrol and manage learners, assign courses, track their progress, and analyse their performance.
✅ Track and Report: Monitor learner engagement, completion rates, and assessment scores.
Getting out of shape
The LMS became outdated as learners' and organizational needs changed. They have insufficient possibilities to boost engagement and do not collect sufficient data to continuously improve. The traditional course structure doesn't match modern learners' preference for bite-sized and informal content. The dated technology of the LMS does not support mobile learning and personalized content. Additionally, the LMS doesn't support company growth due to its lack of scalability.
The next evolutionary step
Next step in evolution
