The short answers:
No, you don’t need an LMS. And yes, there is a better way. To be clear, Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have their place. An LMS can be an excellent resource for a wide variety of learning management activities, both online and offline. It can be used to schedule learning resources, set up learning paths, track attendance at live courses, track continuous learning credits, and so on.

We call it The un-LMS™. Learn more: The un-LMS by SkillBurst Interactive Comments are closed.
