A learning management system that drives channel partner growth

An LMS is a Learning Management System – a business tool created to track, monitor and record employee learning on a corporate level.

Initially, an LMS captured basic information such as whether training had been completed and if the learner passed or failed. As purely data capture tools, the user experience for both the learner and the administrator wasn’t really considered.

Today, learners are demanding more from their LMS. Learners perform better when they feel engaged, and a modern LMS also needs to support engagement, social learning and performance management.

A learning management system (LMS) is a solution that lets you host, deliver and track the progress of your training program. The content is managed and administered by a specialist team, an outsourced solution, a trainer or someone in the leadership team.
A learning experience platform (LXP) focuses on creating a personalised learner experience through curated content. Everyone contributes to the content they want to learn, from HR to field sales agents, to the front desk team.

One solution is not better than the other, as your choice will ultimately depend on which one will best support your organisation’s needs. An LMS is better suited for predetermined training that follows specific steps, while an LXP works best with organisations that want to give learners free rein to pursue their professional development.

These two terms often cause confusion, especially for those who aren’t well-acquainted with this industry. You might even see some online sources using both interchangeably.
eLearning is a course, program or degree that works outside the four walls of a traditional classroom. These are delivered online but can still retain interactivity with trainers and fellow learners. An LMS is a solution that allows organisations to create these courses, adding elements of gamification, interactivity, engagement and customisation as required.

Think of eLearning as a lesson or an individual piece of learning, while an LMS is the platform where that lesson is stored.

There are different types of gamification that you may see within an LMS. When we talk about gamification, we talk about it in the “play to learn” space. We create games within an eLearning module to help with learner engagement and knowledge retention. Studies show increasing knowledge retention if learners feel they are playing a game, whilst interacting with the training holds a learner’s attention for longer and increases their engagement levels.

Another form of gamification is earning points for completing tasks in the LMS, whether for having the highest assessment score, having completed the most amount of training courses or completing training the fastest. The creation of leaderboards aims to encourage competition between learners.

An extension of this form of gamification is incentivising learners by converting points into rewards. These could be to spend in an online shop, redeem against external training courses or vouchers for weekends away. Organisations use this type of gamification to foster brand or program loyalty.
