My Favorite Cloud Learning Management Systems

Whether you need to train your employees or you want to learn something new you’ve probably run across a Learning Management Systems (LMS). These days an LMS is typically either cloud platform (SaaS) or an add-on to your existing website (i.e., WordPress plugin).

Two of my favorite cloud-based LMS products are Litmos and Axis. Both offer a wide range of features including API integrations, Certification Management, Gamification and SCORM Compliance. Litmos was recently acquired by SAP and is more expensive than Axis, but you get what you pay for. (Native mobile apps, CRM integration and more.)

My Favorite WordPress LMS

And my favorite WordPress plugin LMS product is LearnDash. This LMS allows for course creation, setting prerequisites for students and the ability to use various payment gateways like PayPal and Stripe.

While going the WordPress plugin LMS route can be less expensive you’ll still need to figure out how to support and maintain your WordPress website.
