"Nigel,
Difficult one really because in L&D we still have to contend with traditional values being assigned to us and they're very sticky. It wasn't so long ago (5 years) that the senior trainer in our part of the organisation insisted on being…"

I like your ideas. I would love if you could qualify why you would remove the LMS? (or is it a case of if I have to ask I will never know - joke)
FYI: My mother didn’t want a mobile phone until she figured out how it could fit into her life and help her do stuff. When she took the time to use it in a way which proved itself to her she really reaped the benefits. I think my mother’s expectations were too high at the start and she didn’t understand the technology.
I am looking at alternatives to an LMS so I would appreciate if you would answer my question.
Kind regards,
Barry.
