What features should an LMS have to really stand out?

If we were to create an LMS that truly stands out in today’s competitive market and addresses existing gaps, what must-have features should it include? Of course, ease of use and other basic functionalities are non-negotiable, but I’m curious about features that go above and beyond. Personally, I think the following would be game-changers: Gamification – Features like leaderboards to motivate learners and add a fun, competitive edge. Automated Learning Paths – Using a simple questionnaire to recommend bundled courses tailored to each learner’s needs. Bulk Checkouts – To make it easier to sell courses to organizations and corporate clients. Community Spaces – A platform for discussions, collaborations, and peer learning. Cloud-Based Note-Taking – Let learners annotate course materials, save notes on the platform’s cloud, and access them anytime. Resource Library with Search – A searchable repository of all course materials and resources in my academy for easy access. What features would you add to this list?

I love the idea of gamification! It really makes learning more engaging, lol.

Totally agree! Leaderboards can really push people to do better.

Automated learning paths sound cool. How would that work exactly?

It’d be like a quiz that helps recommend courses based on what you need. Pretty neat, right?

Cloud-based note-taking would be a game-changer for sure. I always lose my notes.

Right?! Imagine never having to search through papers again. :raised_hands:

Community spaces would make a big difference. Learning from peers is so valuable!

Exactly! Plus, it creates a sense of belonging.

Bulk checkouts are great for companies. Makes it so much easier for training!
