Article #26: A Quick Introduction to LMS and LRS Standards - By Trina Rimmer

How long it took to read? - 5 minutes

Who is it for? - Those who want an introduction to L&D data collection tools.

What I took from this article - I truly do believe that learning is not worthwhile without some measure of evaluation. Whether that means testing what you learned in a real-world example or ensuring that you're competent with the material in speed and efficiency. So, how do you evaluate? You need data.

Rimmer highlights the major tools in data collection and analysis in the L&D world from SCORM to cmi5. This is a great foundation for someone wanting to understand each tool's history and practicality in today's ever-changing learning industry. While the article is indeed brief, it provides more in-depth resources to learn if your interest has peaked.
