Learning Management Systems (LMS) will help you better understand and create training courses for your organization.

How to Choose Education & Learning Software

One of the first considerations when picking out an educational software is the purpose of learning. Depending on what exactly you are trying to accomplish, you can go in very different directions even within the same subcategory. For instance, the approach to learning the basics of a programming language can differ a lot across various solutions, even if the subject matter looks the same.

Another important factor is the preferred method of learning, or teaching for that matter. For instance, you may prefer video lessons to practical examples and picking an educational software solution that allows you to learn by watching videos might yield more success. Or perhaps you are looking to educate your staff? Depending on the subject, you can direct them to one of the solutions from the MOOC segment, or create your own bespoke courses using a solution from the Authoring subcategory.

The third consideration is the availability of free content. Some of these software solutions offer free basic access and require paid subscriptions for advanced content. There are differences between educational software that offers freemium content and the ones requiring you to commit a budget up-front. Keeping all of these factors in mind, you will be able to decide on what education & learning software best suits your need, budget and specifications.

Subcategories of Education & Learning Software

Authoring: Software solutions used for creating multimedia content, designing and packaging e-learning content, etc. fall under the authoring subcategory. These solutions can be used to integrate an array of media formats and create interactive and engaging training programs. Combined with other types of educational software, authoring solutions are widely used in today's world of out-of-the-classroom learning.
Learning Management System (LMS): This increasingly popular educational software subcategory covers solutions used for delivery, tracking, reporting, documenting and administering training programs and educational courses.

You can also find courses on subjects other than programming that are closely related to your niche (design, production tool management, etc.).
MOOCs & General: MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Courses. Solutions from this subcategory are often run by academic or non-profit institutions and tend to be free educational platforms offering a variety of courses.
