You’re constantly bombarded by innovations in the learning tech market. You’d like your program to be just as amazing. There’s just one problem: your learning technology hasn’t kept up with the times.

Choosing new learning technology is a daunting task. Check out these three signs to see if you’re ready for a switch.

Your Learning Strategy Relies on Gut Instinct

Everyone talks about being data-driven. You’d like to make data-driven decisions too but feel like your learning technology is holding you back.

You’re hemmed in by static reports. They show course completions but not much else. You could make better decisions with detailed user reports. Even better, if you could filter your reports by segments, then you could dig deeply into who uses your courses and how.

Instead, you’re stuck with gut instinct and canned reports. Other learning management systems (LMSs) offer flexible reporting options at no extra cost. You’d be able to easily drill down and create new reports.

Why settle for canned data when you can get custom data instead?

You Can’t Sleep Because of Poor Results

Nothing is worse than reporting poor learner retention and low learner engagement. L&D is supposed to drive organizational change. But how can you do that if no one opens your courses? There’s lots of research on how to help modern learners engage.

The right online learning platform meets the needs of the modern learner out of the box. You should have access to learning on-demand, gamification, and microlearning. With these tools, you’ll be designing engaging courses in no time. They also make learning retention a breeze. Quick micro learning modules combat the forgetting curve. And gamification makes it enjoyable to memorize material. You want learning technology that encourages engagement so you can show better results.

You’re Struggling to Customize Your Course Content

With upskilling and reskilling, the needs of your learners move fast. You just wish more people could make quick changes to the content. Right now, everything needs to pass through an experienced instructional designer.

If you have a traditional LMS, then it was only designed to store courses. Other newer LMSs often include a learning content management system. This allows you to easily and quickly customize old courses. A learning content management system can also improve workflow with templates. It’ll alleviate the pressure on your team to constantly create new content from scratch.

By automating tasks, your learning technology can carry some of the load.

Why Settle for Less?

With a learning technology market of more than 700 vendors, the perfect fit for you is out there. They’re waiting and ready to help you make your learning program the best.

Yes, switching to a new online learning platform is a lot of work. But it will be worth it in the end.

You’ll have a truly data-driven learning program. Out of that data, you’ll discover new ways to engage learners. Plus, you’ll have the tools to make engagement a reality, not just a dream. Instead of looking at others’ programs with longing, you’ll be on the cutting edge.
