and select a best-
in-class Learning
Management System
for your business.
W
hether you're looking to implement
your first Learning Management
System (LMS) or move from a
legacy system, this guide to
evaluating different LMSs will support you in your
journey towards a simpler and more connected
learning experience for your employees. While it's
important that you know exactly what you need
from an LMS, this is also an opportunity to think
laterally, question your processes, and introduce
some new ideas or ways of working.
A good LMS is a dynamic set of learning and
development tools that helps companies deliver
employee training and engagement at any
scale. With Canvas LMS, employee trainers and
learning developers can easily create courses
and integrate the systems they need to support
employees across the entire organization.
That's why it's important to include all stakeholders
in the selection process, especially your
employees—the vast majority of whom will be
your LMS users. Ideally, an LMS should be useful,
effortless, and designed with employees in mind.
This guide is informed by industry best practice,
experience, and the wide-ranging needs and
priorities of more than 30 million Canvas LMS
users worldwide.
