Chapter Breakfast Meeting: Looking Beyond the LMS

You don’t have to be limited by your LMS platform anymore. You also don’t have to start over and make another large investment. Instead, learn how virtual training tools and mobile learning environments can integrate with and extend the life of your existing legacy systems and LMS platform(s). Specific Strategies, Design and Technology Aspects, as well as Use Cases from global companies across various industries will be discussed.

Learning objectives:

• Understand how to integrate existing LMSs and other learning systems (including Sharepoint, Compliance Wire, etc.) with a mobile platform, including SSO capabilities and streamlined access for all users and systems.
• Understand how to incorporate today’s various training tools and capabilities (i.e. gamification, virtual collaboration/coaching, reporting, and more) into your existing technology to make it a more robust and engaging experience for your learners.
• Have specifics as to what other companies have done to update their technology and make learning a “want to do” vs. a “must do.”
• Provide the key points to empower you for a serious conversation with your various stakeholders (upper management to the IT department), in order to update your learning platforms vs. requesting an entirely new system.
