How to Combat Low LMS Adoption with Engaging Learning Experiences

*“According to Markets and Markets, the global LMS market size is expected to skyrocket from $13.4 billion in 2020 to $25.7 billion by 2025.”

Imagine this.

The big day has finally arrived! After working incredibly hard for years, building trust and expertise, you have been assigned the herculean task of rolling out a large-scale training program for the entire workforce. The stakes are high, and so is the budget. You have already labored for a couple of weeks trying to get internal buy-in. With that out of the way, you now need an impeccable and successful execution to register a win.

You run quick market research to see that the LMS game has come a long way now. New technologies and tools are up in the market. You have two choices:

A traditional LMS that is more admin-focused contains complicated navigation and offers little to no personalization. This usually results in the loss of employee’s interest in learning very quickly.

Two, an LMS integrated with cognitive tech that unlocks intuitive UI, personalized recommendations, and an engaging learning experience that's more in line with their roles & responsibilities.

With high stakes riding on the success of your strategy, what will you choose – an outmoded LMS or a next-gen LMS?

If you’re grappling with a similar dilemma, this blog post is for you! And in case you have already implemented an LMS platform but are not getting the employee adoption you want, I will suggest that you read ahead to see how cognitive technology can help.

It can breathe a new lease of life into your LMS portal. The best part is that you don't have to worry about switching to a new LMS platform. You can integrate your existing one with cognitive tech as it leverages AI & its building blocks to fulfill all your LMS needs. Without further ado, let’s understand how it unlocks a richer and more personalized learning experience.

AI in LMS: Leveraging A Cognitive Platform for More Immersive Learning

With a myriad of benefits, AI-assisted LMS caters to the organizations’ learning & training needs. Let’s find out how:

1. Harness The Power Of UI and Facets:

To quote Gartner from the report “Market Guide for Corporate Learning Suites”,
“Place the learner’s experience and the solution’s usability at the top of the priority list for any new learning project.”*

UI and UX of your LMS can make or break your users’ connection with learning. After all, it is not just an event, but a journey of their needs and interests. Poor UX is the easiest way to discourage the learner and ruin their learning experience in seconds. Imagine encountering a sloppy interface while trying to find a relevant course. It can be pretty frustrating, right?

SearchUnify adds intelligent, faceted search to your LMS platform. It brings employees a step closer to relevant results by narrowing down the search results (as shown in the image below). Additionally, it ensures that the pre-selected facet stays intact even after conducting a new search, thus providing a smooth and better user experience.



2. Cater Hyper-Personalized Learning Experience:

Gone are the dark ages of no personalized recommendations. Modern times mandate personalization. Learners seek hyper-personalized learning experiences where they are suggested courses based on their profile, search patterns, history of courses studied, etc.

Some ML-infused suggestion engines can automatically gather user data and patterns. Then, they analyze behavior, preferred formats, and the modules users have interacted with to produce a rich pool of related content and personalized recommendations. This drives user engagement and adoption rates.

3. Leverage Real-Time Analytics:
