Tips to Discover the Best Learning Management Systems

The good news?

ABIM and ACCME’s recent announcement to recognize even more types of accredited CME activities for MOC means that accredited providers are now able to increase and diversify their CME activities to earn more CME credit and MOC points.

The bad news? This announcement doesn’t tell you how to find the best learning management systems for these activities. But that’s exactly what you need to know if you are responsible for your organization’s learning technology solutions.

ABIM and ACCME’s recognition of more diverse CME activities does not make this process any easier. If anything, it expands the number of learning management systems you can consider.

3 Critical Tips To Use When Determining Your Best Learning Management System Options

Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed by the options. Consider these three critical tips when choosing the best LMS for your organization.

1. Assess your needs. This may seem obvious, but we wanted to reiterate how important it is to know what you need before you even start looking. Decide what you want to achieve with your LMS, what your expectations are for the software, and what your learners and administrators will need.
2. Compile a list of features. With your goals in mind, begin to search for the best learning management systems available. No doubt, you will find many features to consider. Use your research to compile two lists of features: one outlining the features you need and a second listing features that are desirable but optional.
3. Focus on the future. Finally, with technology and standards always in flux, it is important to consider what you need now and what you will need in the years to come. How do you want your organization to improve and grow? The best learning management systems are on the forefront of technology and make it easy for you to upgrade and integrate with new technology and tools.
