If you cannot answer either of those questions, then neither content NOR an LMS will help you provide successful educational material. Once you have a clear direction, understanding what type of content will be most relevant will help you select an LMS. Share this on Google+.

Every week, like clockwork, I get a call from someone who wants me to recommend an LMS for their association or small business.

Will I need an LMS? Try different scenarios and see if online learning is right for your association.
