Acorn Experts flag key LMS features and functionalities to consider when looking to buy

CANBERRA, Australia - May 6, 2021 - PRLog -- For anyone looking to acquire a learning management system (LMS) for their organisation, two things are important to consider and compare: features and functionalities. That's according to the Acorn internal subject matter experts who have been hard at work to explore these areas in detail. Each organisation will have different requirements, and suppliers usually work within defined industries. Without research, it's easy to attain an ill-fitting system – wasting time and resources that might be needed elsewhere.

Blake Proberts (Co-Founder and Managing Director) says choosing features "that align with your organisational goals will reap you the most benefits".

The most important features to consider in an LMS include administration, learning analytics, authoring tools, integrations and customisation. Functionalities are all about what a feature (or all features combined) can do for a user. The team go on to consider a huge raft of these including: SCORM compliance, gamification, accessibility, performance tracking, eCommerce, streamlined processes and many more.

Mr Proberts goes on to say, "As an example, consider the differing accessibility needs of your workforce. It might be something as simple as responsive screens or more complex like screen readers and bring-your-own-device compatibility."

"Ensuring that you're selecting features that make the user experience seamless will in turn ensure your engagement rates are high."

In addition to being a useful information resource, the article also provides a handy checklist where organisations can simply tick the boxes to get a clear picture of which software stacks up best.
