What is a Learning Management System?

Employee training is a hot topic in the corporate industry. What is the best way to train? What tools do you need to onboard your employees?

There are so many software options available and different methodologies that it is difficult to discern what will work best. 

Working for a knowledge base software and training solution company — ScreenSteps — I've seen many companies go through this challenge. They want to onboard employees fast and provide them with learning opportunities throughout their careers. 

So, how do you do that?

One option is a learning management system (LMS). Learn more about what an LMS is and what your other training software solutions are below.

Learning management system definition

A learning management system (LMS) is software that organizes e-Learning courses. It helps you create, share, and track employee progress on courses. These courses can be custom-built for your company or off the shelf.

In your LMS, you create and share a library of learning courses. These courses can include training videos, quizzes, text, and more.

Find the right training solution for your company

An LMS is a great way to provide employees with self-paced learning opportunities, but it isn't the only training software. Other software solutions provide training at different moments.

Often, a technology stack helps provide employees with training at different moments of learning.

With a ScreenSteps knowledge base, you provide your employees with on-the-job training.

ScreenSteps uses the Find & Follow Training Framework to prepare employees to find answers quickly on their own using help guides. These help guides walk your employees through unknown procedures while teaching them how to do them.

Think a knowledge base would be a good addition to your training curriculum?
