Why You Need an LMS

Online learners today can read blogs, browse Twitter, participate in Wikis, turn to social networks, watch videos and more, accessing valuable information about any subject. The opportunities are endless. So why do you need a learning management system? Why not just let learners find what they need on their own? Take a second to consider just how much content is competing for your attention in your Facebook news feed…Okay, that was fifteen minutes, not one second. See how easy it was to get sucked in to the different cat videos and political memes that appear online every day? Do you want your learners to be refreshing their knowledge of job tasks, or seeing how small of a box Maru the cat can fit in? Here’s a hint: it’s a very small box, and knowing that won’t improve your bottom line at all. So help your learners out by sifting through the internet and offering the best of the best through your LMS.Centralized Knowledge HubUsing an LMS offers your learners a centralized knowledge hub and an easy way to access what they need, whenever they need it.
