Considerations for choosing an LMS

Choosing a Learning Management System (LMS) seems like a straightforward process - but there can be a lot at stake. The LMS you choose will have ramifications for how you’re able to build content, what course authoring tool you’re able to use, what type of services you are able to offer your learners, how you are able to track analytics and user data, and perhaps most importantly, what ongoing costs your LMS will require.
