Core Capabilities of Corporate Learning Management Systems
To qualify for inclusion in the Corporate Learning Management Systems (LMS) category, a product must:
- Host courses and training materials within a centralized system that is accessible by employees for corporate training purposes
- Store training progress and performance records for evaluation by management and track user learning adoption
- Provide assessments, quizzes, and interactive learning delivery
- Create a mobile-accessible learner experience and accessibility features
- Allow administrators to customize training programs according to individual user needs
- Offer built-in course authoring capabilities and include content maintenance, i.e., the ability to optimize, customize, and modernize materials
Common use cases for Corporate Learning Management Systems
Organizations use corporate LMS software to assign courses to employees and track their progress as they complete lessons and assessments. Some solutions also track professional development or integrate with performance. These courses can be created using built-in tools in the LMS. Some may also integrate with a separate course authoring software. Corporate LMS act as a centralized repository of learning content for both instructional designers, who design materials, and learners, who take courses, enabling companies to deliver content for employee development more efficiently.
How Corporate Learning Management Systems Differs from Other Tools
Corporate LMS host courses made by internal or third-party course authoring software. Top corporate LMS may also be offered as a component of integrated human capital management or HCM software. Organizations may purchase eLearning content instead of creating courses in-house.
Related categories include training management systems, learning experience platforms (LXP), and skills management.
