How to Choose an LMS
What are the selection criteria for an LMS to realize your educational vision?
As LMS become more multifunctional, the criteria for selecting a system are also becoming more complex. This page introduces important points to consider when selecting an LMS for those in charge of introducing an LMS for the first time or those in charge of considering switching to an LMS.
Educational issues solved by LMS
Each company probably defines its educational issues based on its human resources strategy, which is based on its human resources management policy and medium-term management plan, but here we will introduce three issues that we often hear about from our clients.
As work styles and work locations become more diverse, more and more companies are introducing LMS to create an environment where people can learn anytime, anywhere. However, simply distributing e-learning content will not promote learning for students.
Because learning can be done anytime and anywhere, it is necessary to consider "when/where/what education" will be provided in the human resources and development strategy. From a security perspective, it is not possible to provide all educational content regardless of time or place.
SmartSkill Campus not only provides security and time settings tailored to the learning content, but also has many functions that allow for systems and measures for autonomous learning.
Frequently asked questions from customers 1
"I want to develop educational measures that utilize online learning."
In recent years, there has been a demand to effectively provide individualized training based on personnel information such as job title and skills, and to support early growth.
SmartSkill Campus helps each individual achieve rapid growth by recommending learning materials that are tailored to the individual and match their own tendencies.

"We want to realize rapid growth for each and every employee"
Companies implement a variety of educational measures, such as their own education system and information, company-wide education, departmental education, and location-specific education. However, many companies face the challenge of having employees find it difficult to understand the company's overall education system and information regarding education because the information is scattered, which prevents independent learning.
SmartSkill Campus has a system in place that centrally manages company-wide training, as well as training for each department and location, allowing employees to understand the company's overall training at a glance.

The role of LMS in recent years
In recent years, the LMS has become more than just a platform for providing and managing education; it has also become a major focus for implementing educational policies using data.
While a talent management system compiles a database of basic personnel data, skills, experience, etc. held by a company, an LMS serves as an "education hub" that utilizes that data.
SmartSkill Campus enables you to implement data-driven educational measures through automatic integration with human resources databases and talent management systems.
Is it possible to implement a training curriculum?
The operational tasks required for training can be complicated and put a strain on the work of training staff. By completing all the tasks related to training within the LMS, such as informing participants, managing group training applications, confirming attendance, and conducting and compiling surveys, you can simplify the process.
SmartSkill Campus can streamline training operations while maintaining the same current work flow by managing training applications including supervisor approval, allowing users to apply for group training with set participant limits, and automatically updating attendance information through integration with Zoom.
Are the functions and delivery format appropriate for the company's size and personnel structure?
Even if there are many functions, it is necessary to verify whether the measures can be realized when incorporated into your company's human resources and training strategy and training operations methods.
SmartSkill Campus not only provides the standard LMS functions required for educational initiatives, but also develops functions to meet the unique environments and needs of each company.
Here we will introduce some of the essential features that are especially important when large companies introduce an LMS.
To implement large-scale educational programs, tens of thousands of participants need to be able to simultaneously watch videos, take tests, and take surveys. SmartSkill Campus can flexibly increase the number of servers and performance when access increases, allowing tens of thousands of people to access the program simultaneously.
Essential feature for implementing LMS 1
Concurrent access
While it is necessary to create an environment where people can learn anytime, anywhere, it is also essential to protect confidential information.
SmartSkill Campus allows you to set access restrictions, so you can specify the learning environment depending on the course. For example, courses that include confidential information can only be taken from the internal network, while self-development courses can be taken from both inside and outside the company.

Managing Access
By linking with external systems such as core business systems, human resources systems, talent management systems, and other learning services, it is possible to centralize information management and automate operations.
SmartSkill Campus can be linked to external systems via API integration. By automatically updating participant information and attendance history, you can keep the information up to date, and by aggregating and analyzing attendance history, including training, you can develop a data-driven human resource strategy.
3 Essential Features for LMS Implementation
Integration with external systems
Is there a support system in place for operations?
After the system is introduced, preparations for the release will begin, including environment settings, content preparation, operation planning, internal notification, etc. Taking into account the company's resources, we will confirm that the necessary support system is in place, such as BPO (operational outsourcing), dedicated support that can be consulted, and technical support.
SmartSkill Campus has dedicated customer success personnel who will continually provide proposals to effectively implement customers' initiatives into systems and solutions to problems.
Is there sufficient training content available?
It takes a lot of work to prepare all the necessary e-learning content in-house, so it is a good idea to choose an LMS vendor that has a wide range of content. If the system comes with content that covers all levels, you can keep costs down and provide learning that is tailored to each individual.
SmartSkill Campus comes with over 450 video contents (with comprehension tests/completion tests) as standard, which can be used according to customer requests. We can also suggest content based on your company's skill map, etc.
Is it easy to distribute and add original content?
If you want to cover cases or themes that are unique to your company, you will need to prepare original content and deploy it through the LMS.
SmartSkill Campus allows you to easily create content by combining videos, tests, surveys, etc., so for example, you can record a lecture held in your company and use it as content. We also undertake contract production of original teaching materials, so we can provide a one-stop service from content production to distribution.
E-learning content, videos, PDFs, etc. created in accordance with the SCORM 1.2 standard can be loaded as is without any processing, so customers switching LMS can rest assured.
Are the security specifications and systems sufficient?
An LMS that handles personnel information and confidential learning content requires a high level of security. The system's security specifications and the development and operation companies must implement sufficient security measures.
