Orlando, Fl, March 11, 2014 — Totara LMS representatives are scheduled to help explore the current state of learning management systems at the Learning Solutions 2014 Conference in Orlando, Florida on March 19-20.
The event is for training and learning professionals focused on the design, development, management, distribution of technology-based learning, performance support, and blended solutions.
The Learning Solutions Conference features more than 100 sessions covering eLearning best practices, case studies, and emerging trends to help create more engaging and effective learning experiences. Co-located with Learning Solutions 2014, Ecosystem 2014 is focused exclusively on learning infrastructure systems and strategies and is designed for professionals who are responsible for managing learning and development and optimizing investments in employee development across their organization.
The Learning Solutions Conference & Expo is an essential resource for thousands of eLearning practitioners who want to expand their skills and knowledge in content creation. The 2014 Edition will continue this track record and enhance the program offerings in the areas of most rapid change: mobile technology, the use of social media and new developments in standards.
At the Ecosystem conference, Totara LMS will be involved in two sessions, the first one focuses on “Exploring the Current and Future of the Learning Management System,” with Jonathan Newman Vice President of Product Solutions as a Panelist. The panel explores the current state of the LMS and how this important technology is evolving to accommodate the expanding needs of organizations. Additionally, the panel responds to current questions such as: “Do we base this challenge upon limitations of the LMS technology?” And, “Are organizations not using the existing tools to their full capabilities?”
The second session will be hosted by Willem Boom, Vice President Partner Solutions for Totara LMS and Jonathan Newman, Vice President of Product Solutions for Totara LMS. This session gives an overview of successful implementations of open-source LMS solutions in corporations.
Participants will hear about actual scenarios that help illustrate how to overcome any questions regarding open-source LMS offerings and how to implement them in an organization. They will examine key considerations in selecting and implementing an open-source LMS solution and learn how open-source functionality compares with that of proprietary solutions.
