What is the best Learning Management System out there?

-The other two answers are great, however if you were looking for an LMS for your company...basically wanting to convert your current training materials over to an online university for your employees...I researched a few and found that eLogic Learning鈥檚 LMS was really good, plus the people were really nice to take the time to answer questions and take the time to educate me on all that they offered.



They are not the cheapest, but not the most expensive. Their customer service and can-do attitude was refreshing. They offered so many different options including support, content development and training. My boss decided to go another direction so unfortunately we did not go forward with creating our own LMS, but check out their website, www.elogiclearning.com, or call them.You are asking a very 'BIG' question with lots of loop-holes. There are many systems out there and many of them are excellent however, you should probably be asking folks who have experience in some of them to note the kind they use, and how 'useful' it may be. If you are looking for one and have no idea what to expect, then I am able to give you some ideas.



LMSs cater to educational, administrative, and deployment requirements. While an LMS for corporate learning, for example, may share many characteristics with a VLE, or virtual learning environment, used by educational institutions, they each meet unique needs. The virtual learning environment used by universities and colleges allow instructors to manage their courses and exchange information with students for a course that in most cases will last several weeks and will meet several times during those weeks. In the corporate setting a course may be much shorter in length, completed in a single instructor-led event or online session.



The characteristics shared by both types of LMSs include:



Manage users, roles, courses, instructors, facilities, and generate reports

Course calendar

Learning Path

Student messaging and notifications

Assessment and testing handling before and after testing

Display scores and transcripts

Grading of coursework and roster processing, including wait listing

Web-based or blended course delivery

Characteristics more specific to corporate learning, which sometimes includes franchisees or other business partners, include:



Auto enrollment (enrolling Students in courses when required according to predefined criteria, such as job title or work location)

Manager enrollment and approval

Boolean definitions for prerequisites or equivalencies

Integration with performance tracking and management systems

Planning tools to identify skill gaps at departmental and individual level

Curriculum, required and elective training requirements at an individual and organizational level

Grouping students according to demographic units (geographic region, product line, business size, etc.)

Assign corporate and partner employees to more than one job title at more than one demographic unit.



You asked your question in 'teaching' therefore, I am assuming that the management system you are inquiring about has to do with 'education".



In my school district - we use "Chancery", which controls not only attendance, discipline, etc. but also grades. We have also added "Gradespeed", which involves components for parents to go online and visit their children's grades, assignments, notes from the teacher, information, important dates, etc.
be more specific. there are different Learning Management Systems for high school,middle schools,and elementary school students, so personally i think that you need to look that up on you're own . because also many schools have their own learning system, like Durham North Carolina they have to have their high school students do homework for at least 2hours. but UNC Chapel Hill they expect high school students to have at least an 1hour in. and they are different ways elementary school teachers teach their kids how to count , some schools require for kids to use their hands, some require to use fake objects such as pizza's cups etc. so first look at you're schools website or call and see what they require . if you are doing this on you're own then look up whats best you. if you are better at hands on learning then look up _______ hands on learning tools or notes on ______________ Hoped I help:)
Selection on Learning Management System is tough task... really, there are so many players in market who are dealing with the same. We were in same situation and finally, a friend of mine from TULIP - one of the biggest DATA Center company, told me about their vendor - Flexiguru.com. It is a Learning Management Software. We are also usiing it it our Company. We are a Business and Finance Course Education company and we offer this to our student for online learning and training.
