Benefits of using LMS for managing
Blended Learning
• Seamless, cohesive, unified experience for learners for all
their training items

to collate data from various systems or sources thus saving
significant time and cost
More effective Learning design focused on leveraging various
components’ unique benefits
•

Benefits of using LMS for managing Blended
Learning (contd.)
• Learners can be engaged much before and till much later and
not just during the training activity with increased
collaboration
Cost-effectively reach out to a diverse user base spread
across locations
Centralized Learning resources could lead to a better
knowledge management in future
•

Summary
•
•
Blended Learning is already in place – mostly
A great need for a single easy-to-use system to manage
blended learning in one place
The system should make it easy for the users and
administrators to adapt to the new training forms
An LMS is a great choice for such a system. The LMS needs to
be well designed to cater to various components in an
integrated manner
