About The Webinar
With the multitude of different technologies, tools, and strategies that are available for structuring and enhancing your professional education programs, it’s becoming increasingly more important to not only stay aware of the new technologies but the trends driving the evolution of the corporate eLearning ecosystem.
The learning platform – or the LMS – used to be enough to manage, store, and distribute eLearning to learners. Today, although the learning platform is still the main component within the learning strategy, organizations are including additional tools to provide a more custom solution, including Learning Record Stores (LRS), Gamified Content, Simulations, and more.
Deciding what other tools to incorporate into the eLearning ecosystem can be difficult, especially when you are looking for deep integrations to allow these tools to talk to one another, which is vital to achieving long term eLearning success.
Join eThink Education to discover the trends and tools to consider when building a sustainable and interoperable eLearning ecosystem.
During the session, you will learn:
- About the latest eLearning trends, tools, and strategies to consider when navigating the corporate eLearning ecosystem
- The history of the Learning Management System and it's importance in today's ecosystem as a learning hub
- How the robust functionality and endless integrations of open-source learning platforms like Moodle and Totara enable you to build a scalable, customizable, and interoperable eLearning ecosystem
