1 LMS training goals

Before you enroll in any LMS training program, you should have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your LMS. Do you want to learn the basic features and functions of your LMS, or do you want to explore more advanced and innovative ways to use it? Do you want to improve your course design, assessment, feedback, or communication skills? Do you want to integrate other tools and platforms with your LMS, such as multimedia, social media, or gamification? Having specific and realistic LMS training goals will help you choose the most relevant and suitable training program for your needs.

In an effective Learning Management System (LMS) training program, key considerations include user-friendly interface, diverse content support, customizable features, robust reporting and tracking capabilities, responsive customer support, and seamless integration with other systems. A well-rounded LMS should cater to various learning styles, allow for easy content creation and modification, provide insightful analytics, and ensure a smooth learning experience for users while aligning with organizational goals.

2 LMS training format

Another factor to consider is the format of the LMS training program. There are different ways to deliver and access LMS training, such as online, face-to-face, blended, synchronous, asynchronous, self-paced, instructor-led, or peer-supported. Depending on your preferences, availability, and learning style, you should look for an LMS training program that offers the most convenient and effective format for you. For example, if you prefer to learn at your own pace and time, you might opt for an online, self-paced, and asynchronous training program. If you prefer to interact with other learners and instructors, you might choose a face-to-face, synchronous, and instructor-led training program.

3 LMS training content

The content of the LMS training program is also important to evaluate. You should look for an LMS training program that covers the topics and skills that are relevant to your LMS training goals and your online teaching and learning context. For example, if you want to learn how to create engaging and interactive online courses, you should look for an LMS training program that teaches you how to use the LMS tools and features that enable you to do so, such as quizzes, polls, forums, chats, wikis, blogs, podcasts, videos, etc. You should also look for an LMS training program that provides you with practical examples, scenarios, and exercises that allow you to apply what you learn to your own courses and programs.

Some LMSes have specific features whose implementation relies on the LMS itself, and will require additional support that is specific to the LMS vendor. For example, an LMS might have its quiz management module. Some LMSes maintain their own user communities and knowledge bases that have articles and posts for such features.

4 LMS training quality

The quality of the LMS training program is another aspect to consider. You should look for an LMS training program that is designed and delivered by qualified and experienced LMS trainers who have expertise in online teaching and learning. You should also look for an LMS training program that follows the best practices and standards of online education, such as alignment, accessibility, usability, engagement, feedback, assessment, etc. You should also look for an LMS training program that is regularly updated and reviewed to reflect the latest developments and trends in online education and LMS technology.

Some LMSes have their own vendor-specific user and administrator certification programs. Ask the LMS vendor if they have such programs. If they do, look for LMS training programs that are authored and/or delivered by vendor-certified trainers.

5 LMS training support

The last factor to look for in an effective LMS training program is the support that it offers. You should look for an LMS training program that provides you with adequate and timely support before, during, and after the training. For example, you should look for an LMS training program that provides you with clear and comprehensive information and instructions on how to access and use the training materials, resources, and platforms. You should also look for an LMS training program that provides you with feedback, guidance, and assistance from the LMS trainers and other learners throughout the training. You should also look for an LMS training program that provides you with follow-up and refresher sessions, resources, and opportunities to reinforce and extend your learning.
