Guest: Samuel Apata, Senior Instructional Designer

In this episode, I'll be chatting with Samuel Apata about learning management systems (LMS) and how you can add this tool to your skillset as a new instructional designer.

• Build and maintain trusting partnerships with the global project team and individual market partners for development.
• Manage and deploy online courses through the organization's LMS.
• Easily tracks learner progress and performance: LMSs allow the company to quickly generate training reports on an overall or user/student level basis.
• LMS can also handle things such as onboarding, compliance, and skills gap analysis.  
• In LMS, you can store your courses and can help you track your courses.
• Cloud-based LMS are scientific and are used by a large organization that has over 2000 employees.
• The learning management system concept emerged directly from e-Learning.
• There are two management systems 1) LMS and 2) LRS.
• Using an LMS to deliver eLearning, you can cut down on employee training costs, as you'll spend less money and effort than bringing in specialized instructors to give conventional seminars.
• When using LMS, make you have enough spaces while naming your file.
