Now let's have a quick recap about what we learn so far about E learning platform, so let's find out the questions below-

1. What are your learner's needs?

The main hero of your program is only learner, to whom we expect that he or she learns with us. So first we need to understand their needs, for which purpose they are looking for training program. This information should be known by us. For example first check your learner what they want to learn like they want to learn a new skill or they want to improve their skill in previous process.

The interest of the learner will depend upon from which industry they belong to and then as per the interest you can apply your LMS program and then better fulfill you learner need.

The process of knowing how your organization floats the information to learner and how efficiently they manage their course will depend on the learning you are given to your learners. The whole process of giving service to learners is called as E-learning development.

To more understanding about the E- learning development let's take the example of a company, who runs much kind of training and program to be attended by their employee. If they have compulsory that every employee as per their grade need to enroll for compliance training then first the company will activate their LMS program accordingly and then all employees will attend the training program in different location. This process doesn't require one by one process.

Let's look for another example for better understanding of LMS and E learning. An organization offers an training for foreign language and they training should be given by the tutor by online, then there will be interaction between both the tutor and employee, so the LMS program will also be change its programming accordingly and satisfy the need of learner more better.

Q.2. Is your LMS mobile friendly?

Nowadays we can't expect the life without mobile phones, we carried everywhere mobile with us, the place time and other things will not affect using mobile phone. Now the learners need more flexibility in learning something, they don't want to sit for long time on laptop and computer. They feel bored taking training like this. So we need to understand that changing concept of learner about training and then as per their changes we have to change our process as well.

Let's take a survey on employee for better understanding of their E-learning requirement, ask the employee how many of them would like to do the learning outside the laptop and computer and doing with mobiles, if above than 40% says at one thing then we can activate our learning management system on their particular choice.

Q.3. Does your LMS offers integrations with features and systems?

Now what if a learner doesn't want to go from so many processes for training. So you have to make your learning program as per ask of learner, our learning process should be integrated with easy features so that at one portal, learner will find everything. This type or program will help learner to work faster.

For example suppose there is already a LMS program which offers user to open many applications for every process, they ask for single applications rather than opening multiple. So you can simply change your LMS and make it feature of Single-sign-on.

Q.4. Will you be overpaying for LMS features you don't want?

IF you're LMS less with the modern features but your learner didn't satisfy with the training then the LMS is just a waste of money. The high value LMS will create more pressure on learner and you as well. The more you pay for your LMS that doesn't meet with learner expectations then it bring only burden.

So better to choose the most popular E - learning program available in the market. Now the most powerful and in budget learning process is Sap Litmos. Many learners across the world refer this learning program for it's simply access and use.

It is very important to check that your LMS is reliable or secure or not? If anything wrong happen with the company goodwill due to breach of security by LMS then the organization has to pay a price for long time.
