You’ve invested in an LMS in order to streamline, automate and improve your organization’s training operations. Fantastic.
As the owner of your learning system, your LMS administrator’s job is to ensure that you actually achieve those results.
LMS administrators are responsible for ensuring your organization’s LMS is configured correctly, is kept up-to-date and is easy to manage as possible. They are usually tasked with creating and managing user profiles, designing and organizing training content, tracking employee progress, and troubleshooting technical issues that may arise.
They also play a key role in evaluating training effectiveness by analyzing data on employee performance and training completion rates and identifying areas where training may need improvement or adjustment.
Overall, your LMS administrator can differentiate between a failed LMS that no one uses and a successful LMS at the heart of your knowledge management.
Sometimes, and especially for smaller companies, an existing employee with administrative or technical skills will be tasked to be your LMS administrator. Often, this new responsibility is an addition to their regular role.
Whereas larger companies, will often have a dedicated LMS administrator, hired or trained specifically for that role.
In any case, there are key skills that will help them be successful, including:
In addition, specific experience with the LMS platform being used by the organization is often important.
Many LMS vendors offer training and certification programs for their systems, and having experience and credentials in the specific LMS platform can be helpful for ensuring that the admin is able to manage the system and its features effectively.
