Everything you have ever wondered, but were too afraid to ask...

How can a nonprofit use a learning management system (LMS)?

A learning management system (LMS) is a powerful tool that can be used by nonprofits to manage and deliver educational and training content, as well as development opportunities to donors, volunteers, and the communities they serve.

By using an LMS, nonprofits can create a central repository for all their educational materials, making it easy for staff, volunteers, supporters, and external stakeholders to access the information they need. In addition, an LMS can be used to track progress and performance, allowing nonprofits to gauge the effectiveness of their educational, training, and development programs. An LMS can also be used to deliver content to a wide audience, making it an ideal way for nonprofits to reach new supporters.

Overall, An LMS can be used by a nonprofit organization to:

onboard or train staff members
train volunteers
upskill diverse audiences
pass along any educational information to the community it serves.

Why is an LMS important for a nonprofit?

An LMS allows nonprofit organizations to deliver training and education to their employees, members, volunteers, and communities, track progress, performance, and engagement, offer certificates or badges for completion, and ensure compliance with regulations without investing in expensive teaching space or equipment.

Moreover, an LMS can help a nonprofit deliver content online, eliminating travel and accommodation costs and, at the same time, creating a customized learning experience for each learner.

In addition, an LMS can be used to create a community of practice among employees and volunteers, encouraging knowledge sharing and collaboration.

What are the benefits of an LMS for a nonprofit?

An LMS can be a great way for nonprofits to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their training programs.

How to choose the right LMS for your nonprofit

Identify your training needs: LMS platforms offer a wide range of tools, features, and capabilities. To choose which features are most important to your organization, you should first determine what your training & teaching needs are.
Identify your learners: do you have volunteers, donors, employees, or a group of professionals you'd like to skill? Consider what each type of learner should gain from their learning experience.
Take into account your resource availability: what resources do you have available to educate your learners? The right LMS should standardize your training and learning process, especially if you lack the resources to manage it yourself.
Identify the assessment criteria: include appropriate assessments in your online course so that the learning outcomes and what they will gain from their experience are clear to your learners. Establishing these criteria is key to knowing which assessment options to look out for (e.g., quizzes, file assignments, or exams).
Identify your preferred learning type:
- blended learning: refers to both physical and online learning and is important for nonprofits with physical health and safety practices to complete in the classroom, for example.
- drip-feed learning: gives nonprofits more control over their learner's learning rate by scheduling content delivery. This means that learners receive course materials gradually and at specific times.
- gamification: is vital for improving learner engagement. Having game-like elements makes the learning experience more inclusive, interactive, and enjoyable for the different types of learners you will have on your course.
- social learning: communities are integral to the nonprofit sector. Integrating this element with your course is not just a must-have feature but should be embedded within your chosen LMS. Social learning could include discussion forums, live chat communication, or peer-to-peer feedback.
Look for an LMS that allows you to integrate your content:
- SCORM compliance: you may already have content that you simply wish to integrate with an LMS platform. The LMS vendor should recognize SCORM-compliant files, ensuring that your content is compatible with your chosen LMS and that you don't encounter any technical issues.
- take advantage of third-party integration tools: some LMS platforms may have the added benefit of integrating well-known tools with your online academy to facilitate the promotion and selling of your online courses. Look for an LMS that can support Integration with third-party tools for any or a combination of the following: marketing (email, social media), videoconferencing, payment gateways, webinars, eCommerce, calendar, accounting, CRM, or ERP.
Look for an LMS that allows you to optimize your content:
- use course insights to tailor your content: this can be a huge asset for your nonprofit. When you can see which topics engage your learners the most, you can tailor content accordingly and in real-time. For example, you can access your academy's insights to understand what appeals most to your donors and provide them with personalized content.
- use advanced analytics to track learners: an LMS with the ability to monitor log-ins, sign-ups, enrollments, and completion reports is great for tracking the training of internal stakeholders and professional education. For example, assessment monitoring ensures that volunteers are all trained to the same level, ensuring volunteer accountability.
Choose an LMS with a mobile app builder: the ability to learn on the go may greatly benefit you as a nonprofit, as you often work with busy individuals. You should look out for LMS vendors that offer course creators the ability to create their own mobile apps.
Accessibility is key! Is the LMS mobile-friendly? Keep in mind that Google prefers mobile-responsive websites. If you're looking to scale your learner network, ensuring you have priority on Google's search engine is a must-have.
Prefer flexible pricing plans: enable you to adjust your course to your budget, ensuring you can still scale your online school without compromising the quality of your content.
Don't ignore a good discount: does the LMS vendor offer specific nonprofit pricing? Some LMS vendors acknowledge nonprofits' budget limitations and may offer special discounts to accommodate this.
Identify the technical aspects: assess whether there are any white-labeling options or HTML code customizations. You may also not know what technical customizations you will need, so a good customer support center should also be at the top of your priorities list.
Consider localization: your nonprofit most probably exists on an international scale or draws in volunteers and donors from around the world. Being able to localize your content's language is incredibly useful in ensuring your voice is heard and your mission is clearly communicated.
Look for branding functionality: the branding of your online courses should be as unique as your cause. That way, you'll stick in your learner's mind. Does the LMS offer the option to customize elements such as layout, theme, and appearance? Is it possible to brand your online academy without any coding skills, or do you need to hire a developer?
Don't settle for poor customer support: The right LMS vendor should be well-equipped to support you at every stage of your course creation journey. They should have the capabilities to help you thrive, so ensure you check the LMS's customer reviews from their customers to gauge this.
Check the LMS's list of available resources: an ideal LMS vendor should have many resources at your disposal. Whether that be their own academy for you to learn from, webinars, blogs, eBooks, or a help center, your LMS should have your back!
