Choosing a Learning Management System Software Provider

Learning Management System Software | Choosing a Provider | LearnPac ELearning Systems (UK)
Learning Management Systems (LMS) Software applications are now widely being used across the UK. The adoption of LMS software systems applies to both individuals and organisations (large and small). However, selecting the right LMS software is often the most challenging part. We get a lot of inquiries from various organisations looking to explore e-learning options, and very often, looking for a new LMS provider.

Learning management system software usage in the UK

Whether its an individual looking to gain new skills or as part of continuing professional development, many people are likely to consider some form of online learning. Organisations in the UK are now increasingly using learning management system software to train employees, customers and channel partners.

Blended learning environments with LMS…

Many organisations are also taking advantage of blended learning opportunities to cut costs and improve productivity. With the advances in mobile technologies, the traditional classroom training format is increasingly becoming less popular. Also, setting up blended learning environments (BLE) is no longer as costly or cumbersome as it would have been even just two years ago.

So what is blended learning?

"Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace"
