Where Will Your eLearning Live?
Once you’ve imagined the perfect eLearning experience for your learners, it’s time to determine where your eLearning should live.
An eLearning platform is the home for your online content. It’s where your learners will access their learning experience… but what type of “home” do you need? Are you looking for a small temporary space or to build a custom home for your learners?
There are many options for eLearning platforms and with all of the technological jargon, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but you’re not alone in this process.
We’ve outlined our most commonly asked questions about eLearning platforms. We hope to shed light on how to find the best home for your eLearning.

How do I know if I need an eLearning platform?
Every eLearning engagement needs a home. There are different types of homes or eLearning platforms. Dignified Learning can help you determine which online platform best supports the needs of your learners and your organization.
What’s the difference between an LMS and an eLearning Platform?
Think of an LMS (or Learning Management System) as a house — the most popular type of home or eLearning platform that is designed to manage the learning process. The most basic eLearning platforms serve the primary purpose of hosting content, while LMS systems include data on learner performance, gradebooks, and other features.
An LMS is a popular platform for eLearning because it is built specifically to manage learning. It supports eLearning in a way that is different from other eLearning platforms.
With an LMS,
- Course creators can upload eLearning courses.
- Learners can easily log into, locate, and complete courses.
- Administrators can assign courses and track learner progress.
