LMS KnowledgeBase 2009: In-Depth Profiles of 90+ Learning Management Systems, with Custom Comparison Across 200+ Features

 
Select the Right Learning Management System from a Comprehensive KnowledgeBase

At over 5,000 pages if it were to be printed, Brandon Hall Research's LMS KnowledgeBase is the most comprehensive resource available to help you compare learning management systems and select the system that best meets your needs.


The LMS KnowledgeBase is an online, database-driven repository of information about learning management systems. It provides the following:

  • 40-60 page profiles of over 90 systems
  • Online tools to help select and compare two or more systems side by side (View demo.)
  • A structured and proven methodology to help you identify your requirements and make a smart purchasing decision

NEW IN THE 2009 EDITION

  • Another 16 systems have been added to the research, bringing the total to 92.
  • All profiles have been updated within in the last 60 days of 2008.
  • Vendors who did not respond to our requests for an update have had their systems removed.
  • A new navigation system is available to search more easily for multiple criteria, including social learning features.
  • 92 systems are covered in depth.

Research now spans approximately 5,000 pages.

Of special note this year: Many companies are including social learning features — such as blogs and wikis, peer rating of content, tagging and bookmarking, team calendars, private messaging, and media sharing — within their learning management systems. In fact, 24 out of the 92 products featured in our LMS research have the built-in ability to peer rate content.

In addition, to make it easier to find LMSs that offer those features and many more, we’ve also implemented a new navigation system this year.

The depth and breadth of this research makes it a valuable resource to practitioners, CLOs, IT staff members, and other key stakeholders. The cost of the research is easily justified in that it helps you avoid costly mistakes and ensures an efficient LMS selection process.

This research is independent, objective, and unsponsored. Brandon Hall Research does not charge vendors to be included in any research project. Any LMS vendor is welcome to participate. This makes the LMS KnowledgeBase the largest repository of learning management system information available anywhere.
