KMS and LMS go together
Knowledge management has been on top of the wish list for many companies including mine. I see that there are various tools available for knowledge management, such as Lotus Notes or even Wiki (which I have been using for some time now).
Again, LMS is another area that has plenty of tools to manage Learning/Learning Content. There is a wide range from freeware, such as the Moodle to high performance LCMS, such as the Clicks, LMS and LCMS have taken the industry by storm. No doubt.
I have personally heard of ideas to marry LMS and KMS (that's a great idea and would sound music to many content managers like me). I hear people talk about such products already available in the market but I do not get to hear any big names using it.
If I were to pick one up for my team the following are the keys I would look for.
1. The LKMS (naming the new system for convenience) should pick topics from the knowledge banks already existing as databases.
2. The system should provide key roles for content managers, authors, and viewer/learners.
3. Every learner should be tracked for hours of usage, modules visited and bookmark.
4. The system should support online assessment with instant reporting and result management.
I would look forward to one soon to hit the market. I shall key my notes on such a tool when I get my hands on it someday.
