Hello all!
I currently work at a relatively small company with about 250 users, with the future possibility of adding about 150 more. I manage and create content for our LMS despite having absolutely no formal training in Web development or course creation, however I am an internal educator at this company so I know what information needs to be taught to each learner. it is a rather niche industry so I set up and create all the content, courses and user accounts myself.
we are currently using AbsorbLMS to host our content and I’ve also been using their internal create platform to make courses but it’s extremely un-user friendly and time consuming, I really hate it. i also find it expensive after looking into some other options, and we’re not a huge company. what are my other options for an LMS?
this is what we would need for the LMS itself:
- ability to import approx 250 user profiles in a csv file (if it can link to bamboohr and automatically create the profile from there that would be amazing)
- ability to assign individual courses to each learner individually (the option to self enroll in some courses if possible)
- badges and certificates upon completion of a course
- ability to set up automatic enrolment in a course after a specified amount of time (e.g finish a course and 2 weeks later user is enrolled in another course)
- detailed reporting for course completion and exams
- easy to navigate system for people who are not tech savvy (on the learner side)
also, I’m no developer so do you have any recommendations on course authoring software? I tried a free trial of articulate and found it mind blowing, as a non tech person it was so easy to create a course and make it interactive vs the absorb version. something that is interactive, fun, and easy to use for the learner. like drag and drop course creation, which I realize I would be paying a premium for! is there something else I could use that would be similar?
thank you so much!!
