LMS for a Small Business

A small business operating environment is always short of resources. Very common to have people filling multiple functions. A task like setting LMS might be assigned to an IT person on top of their main job. This is an environment that does not have time to invest in complicated setups. It needs to get training out in a few clicks and have zero hassle later. Simplicity is the key, not fancy features. When it comes to Learning Management and Employees Training, small business key considerations will be:

  • Cost (and Setup time):
    • Direct Cost – When you look at a smaller number of trainees, sometimes just having to go through some training once, sometime seasonal, the budget will be limited. They will need an easy free level entry and the ability to scale up or down easily. A small business or a project will not spend thousands of $ just to get some training in a place.
    • Indirect Cost – just as important… In a small business or group nobody has time to install and setup and maintain. Zero IT work for setup and minutes from registration to being able to put training content in front of the users are mandatory. Browser based for administrator and trainees so no dealing with any app deployment and updates.
  • User Details Updates:
    • There might not be a central business email or users directory. LMS needs to support simple updating methods as loading users details via Excel and being able to update them as a bulk.
  • Grouping:
    • Need to be able to assign properties like groups or positions so that each user will automatically go through the needed training based on their groups or properties.
  • Training Content:
    • Being able to add simple test/quiz to a training video to check trainees understanding.
    • Easy Video support. No need for a complex studio. Be able to use YouTube or self made video tutorials.
    • Everything must be mobile friendly.
    • With private content being built, a way to build quiz for knowledge checks and the ability to define the passing score and track success/failure.
    • SCORM compliance – a lot of pre existing content is available in SCORM format so being able to reuse it is a must.
