Significant Role of New-age UI and Seamless UX in Modern LMS Systems
The significance of modern Learning Management Systems (LMSs) is continuously evolving for corporate training. With the shifting focus towards technology-aided learning, the scope of using the new-age LMS systems with an intuitive user interface (UI) is also increasing. The responsively-designed UI with icons, menus, search bars, and buttons ensure training delivery as per the personalized needs and styles. Also, user experience (UX) is another aspect to measure the usability and efficiency of an LMS. So, organizations deploy modern training platforms with interactive UI to deliver personalized learning for all.
The best learning management systems support easy navigation and interactive UI to attain success. The UI and UX of LMS systems play a significant role in deciding how learners interact with the platform. A poor UI with an outdated design lacks visual appeal. Also, a poor UX with too many clicks make the system complex and less engaging. As per the survey by Brandon Hall, 50.6% of organizations consider a bad UI/UX as an obstacle between learning and training goals. There are different factors which reflect the importance of good UI/UX to facilitate the learning experience. These include:
- The new-age learners prefer training, which is performance-driven and ROI-aligned. They access relevant training content to fulfill their pertinent needs to bridge skills-gaps, boost engagement, and workplace efficiency. A good UX in modern LMS ensures that the least number of clicks are required to perform a task such as assigning courses. Consequently, this boosts the overall levels of engagement and retention for seamless user experience.
- Modern corporates depend on powerful learning management platforms to measure and track learners’ performance. They deploy robust LMS systems to automatically assign e-learning courses as per the pertinent needs, styles, KRAs, skills, and learning habits. An exceptional UX enables organizations to align the right kind of learning to different training goals- compliance, sales, onboarding, and more.
- The mobile LMSs support a clutter-free UI and seamless UX. Due to the reduced screen size and need to learn at the point of need, the LMS needs to support advanced UI features. These include a touch screen, facial recognition, eye tracking, are 3D touch are vital factors responsible for improving the overall training experience.
