What is LMS?

So, what is a learning management system? At its core, a learning management system is a software application. There are different types of learning management systems, but not all LMSs are created equal. At Lessonly, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond the common LMS by putting learners first and focusing on modern learning practices. Give us a try below—we think you’ll agree.

What Does it Do?

As the world becomes more digitized by the day, so does employee learning. Modern companies need a fast, efficient, and organized way to catalog information and training materials for their employees. LMSs like Lessonly help companies capture internal knowledge, best practices, and team policies as searchable and assignable step-by-step lessons. Pretty awesome, right?

LMSs are great for teams—for both managers and employees. Modern LMSs give managers insights into their team’s learning and show who has completed assignments, who still needs to complete certain lessons, and where the team can improve, both collectively and individually.

Modern LMSs give employees a fast way to onboard, learn essential company information, and receive training for their specific job. Ideally, the LMS gives employees unlimited access to lessons and information on any device, anywhere. A modern LMS also makes employee learning engaging and fun.

Who Uses It?

One of the best things about a modern LMS is its flexibility in addressing the needs of different teams across an entire company. In that way, an LMS can be used differently by specific teams, based on their particular training needs and goals.

For example, if a sales team is working to drive more sales, an LMS can deliver training to reps directly in Salesforce, where they can also access key sales information and materials that will help them perform better. Customer support teams can also benefit greatly from an LMS. By providing a customer support team with fast-paced lessons, they get up to speed quickly and learn and retain support strategies and best practices.

Finally, an LMS is the best way growing teams can get new hires onboarded quickly. Managers on growing teams are often so strapped for time that hands-on training with new hires is difficult to squeeze in. With a modern LMS like Lessonly, new hires can quickly get started on their jobs and be set up for success from the get-go.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Types of LMSs

For Businesses

An LMS is what you make of it. That said, some corporate LMS systems seem designed to protect companies from their employees. What does that mean, exactly? It means that some LMS systems for business were designed simply to replace all those dull meetings about compliance-related issues that end by signing some sort of disclaimer or contract.

An LMS for corporate training does have value in the learning management system market, but at Lessonly, that’s not what we’re striving to build for our customers. We want to revolutionize the way companies share information and tactical knowledge with their employees. With our dynamic, easily-accessible LMS, we’re doing that.

LMS systems for business don’t have to be solely focused on compliance policies. Rethink employee training and adopt an LMS that goes beyond the outdated, boring approaches of traditional corporate learning.

For Teams

A Corporate LMS doesn’t have to be hierarchical, tyrannical, or designed to keep employees at arm’s length from the company. The best corporate LMS training, in fact, does the opposite. Lessonly has known this from the start. There are many different types of learning management systems; at Lessonly, we’ve designed ours as a modern LMS. We built it to be accessible and easy-to-use, to help great teams work together to do great things.

Teams love Lessonly because it’s so easy to use. Managers and employees alike can’t believe how intuitive the platform is when they’re creating, assigning, and completing lessons. This ease of use makes learning engaging, valuable, and most importantly, worth everyone’s time.
