#304: The Real Value Of An LMS<br />
Don’t just think about linking delivering learning<br />
content over a network via a web browser to an<br />
LMS. In many ways, that is the easiest part of the<br />
process. The greatest challenge for any LMS is<br />
how it manages and monitors business processes.<br />

#305: HRMS Before LMS<br />
Don't let your LMS data initiative get ahead of your<br />
HRMS data initiative. We have been building<br />
courses and uploading course history into our LMS<br />
without having a 100% implemented global<br />
HRMS. So the employee data in the LMS is<br />
incomplete, which makes a problem when you<br />
import course history. Interesting note: most<br />
departmental training teams will keep fairly<br />
accurate data on course history, using last name or<br />
full name as the key. This works great in small files,<br />
but when you try to import it all into a global LMS<br />
(without a global employee # system to act as a<br />
key field) you can end up with a mess. In hindsight,<br />
it would have made a lot more sense to have<br />
deployed resources to getting the global HRMS up<br />
and running first.<br />

#306: Don't Give Up on PowerPoint<br />
For those organizations that can't afford a $25,000 e-Learning authoring tool package, don't give up<br />
on PowerPoint. With just a little curiosity and some experimentation, you can do amazing things with<br />
this program (even the Office2000 version), such as incorporating movie clips (".avi's") with sounds,<br />
unique moving graphics (using .gifs), fancy shapes (both built-in and imported), links to Web sites or<br />
other slides, and easy voiceovers. At Sarasota Government, we saved thousands of dollars by<br />
meeting HIPAA requirements by creating a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover, putting it on our<br />
Intranet site, and requiring all employees to watch it.<br />

#307: Don't Be Flashy Unnecessarily<br />
Use Flash wisely and only when it meets a specific objective. Try to use Flash for complex<br />
interactions to achieve high-level cognitive objectives and to drive the story line. Animations for<br />
the sake of animating are a waste of time, money and attention.<br />
