Although learning management systems ease the process of delivery of learning content, there is much more to selecting an LMS than just that. One of the essential questions to ask when choosing a digital content distribution platform is: how does it integrate with other LMSes? This is because an LMS that works in isolation fails to perform at its full potential.
