Webanywhere releases new whitepaper: ‘Top Ten Tips for Implementing an LMS’
Webanywhere, the leading creator of workplace learning solutions and Totara LMS Platinum Partner, has released a new whitepaper entitled "Top Ten Tips for Implementing a Learning Management System”.
The whitepaper provides business managers in the field of workplace training and development with free advice to help identify and overcome some of the common pitfalls when considering a migration to, or new development of, an online learning platform. The whitepaper is freely available for download by all professionals involved in corporate training and development.
Conor Gilligan, Head of Webanywhere's Workplace Learning Division (EMEA/ NAM) said: “Learning Management Systems are evolving fast with the incorporation of exciting new plugins for social media, and talent / performance management. But specifiers need to forget the ‘nice to haves’ for a moment."
Gilligan continued "Often, companies allow their LMS vendor to dictate the project direction which stifles creativity and fails to deliver the fundamental business or learning outcomes. Our new whitepaper provides some practical steps to help business organisations start off their new LMS project on the right foot.”
Topics covered in the whitepaper include advice for decision makers when specifying LMS requirements, including:-
- Development of an appealing design.
- Setting up hierarchies correctly.
- Data mapping and migration from legacy systems.
- The use of ‘roaming’ to understand different learner journeys.
- Test, Test - and Test again.
The whitepaper is available to download from the Resources section of the Webanywhere website along with more information about about Totara LMS – the distribution of Moodle for corporates.
