Compare LMS Options Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have come a long way in a short amount of time. Thankfully, the days of high-cost, rigid systems have passed and new options are available to leverage modern resources to create enhanced learning environments for any type of learner. Now, social learning systems exist that allow users to share information as easily as using Facebook®, but in a secure and purposeful manner. Video, forums, video chat, web conferencing and much more are now readily available and are redefining how people think about learning. Even better, the price range for some of the best tools available are now more agreeable for companies and schools of any size than ever before (see the 2009 avg LMS prices from Brandon Hall – remember additional fees apply too). It can pay to do a little homework before making a decision. So, compare your options to find the right LMS solution for your needs, regardless if this is your first step into an eLearning solution or if you are looking for a better system with secure, modern social learning tools. Below, for example, is a quick comparison of the 2009 & 2010 ‘Best of Elearning!’ award winner, social eLearning software, TOPYX, to other learning platforms:
