What do WE need from an E-Learning Platform?• Consider creating your wheel.• Think practically to articulate your requirements in
each area “As a manager I would like reports to be scheduled in advance and emailed to me.”
• Involve other stakeholders.• Beware of ‘pushy’ LMS vendors.• Don’t be afraid to seek advice / indicative costs.• Don’t post on a open linked-in group.
