There is no such thing as the perfect LMS, there is merely the LMS that represents the best possible case for the unique needs of your organization.

In this course, we cover core features that any LMS should offer and some of the considerations you should address as part of your LMS procurement process. We also discuss features that we never feel quite live up to the hype and what you can expect from these features. This course focuses on “off-the-shelf” learning management systems. Discussion of features/functionality possible in custom LMSs built on content management system platforms is beyond the scope of this course. 

Along with this course, you will gain access to the Argyle Analytics scorecard template to help you in your LMS selection process.
