Choosing a learning management system is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. With the variety of learning management systems available, each institution should be able to find one that has the right features and capabilities that will fit their needs. Knowledgeable educators should be part of the selection process for their particular institution and using the steps outlined in this article would certainly be beneficial. Key questions to ask when deciding on LMS requirements would be "what do you want to do, who is going to do it, and how is it going to work" (Parkin, 2005). Once you have a list of requirements, you can begin looking for a vendor who can meet these needs. In order to choose the best learning management system, it is important to be active when choosing a vendor as there are many factors to consider and choosing wrong can be costly.
