It’s probably safe to say that the vast majority of people in our industry, and probably outside our industry, have heard of the LMS. The learning management system has been a foundational piece of technology leveraged by companies big and small from around the world to manage their learning.

If it’s such a foundational piece of technology, why is it that when most people hear the term, it conjures feelings of distain or instinctivly makes us wrinkle our noses? That’s a really good question.

To be fair, not all of the problems associated with an LMS have anything to do with the LMS itself, but many of them certainly don’t encourage the right behaviors or create the right experience.

On this episode David James and Ben Muzzell talk with me about some of the key points of failure where legacy learning technology continues to struggle. We also dig into the ways they’ve designed Looop to address these challenges and provide users with the right resources in a way that doesn’t disrupt the flow of work.
