| A
Learning Management System
for Any Budget
Learning management systems are considered
to be the cornerstone of most e-learning strategies. These
systems provide a great way to deliver, track, and manage training.
Many people are convinced that only large, affluent corporations
can afford an LMS. The truth is, an LMS exists for almost
any budget.
The repository of all Brandon
Hall LMS research is the LMS
KnowledgeBase. At approximately 4,000 pages in size if
it were to be printed, this is the most comprehensive
and objective information available anywhere about
commercial learning management systems.
Low-Cost Learning
Management Systems 2008: 31 Products for Limited Budgets
is a subset of the information contained
within the LMS KnowledgeBase. This 461-page
report contains profiles of the 31 learning
management systems that are priced below average for small
(500 users), medium (10,000 users), large (25,000 users),
and very large (100,000 users) implementations and for both
hosted and installed implementations.
The product profiles contained in this report
provide the following:
- A screen capture of each LMS.
- An At-A-Glance chart of key features.
- A review of each product by a Brandon
Hall Research analyst.
This report also contains tables comparing
each system side-by-side. These allow you to quickly see the

budget:
