4 Reasons to Switch from Standalone Authoring Tools to an LCMS

If you’ve ever made your own in-house learning content, it’s likely you’ll have used a course authoring tool. Traditional, standalone authoring tools typically allow you to build one eLearning course at a time, using a preselected template, which you can then upload to your LMS or learning platform. While these tools serve a purpose, standalone authoring tools have their limits – especially when it comes to creating truly engaging, interactive learning content at scale that can be reused and updated as your learning ecosystem grows and changes with your organization.

If you’re struggling to keep up with the elearning demands of your organization, it could be time to make the switch from a standalone authoring tool to a learning content management system (LCMS) with an integrated authoring tool. This gives you the flexibility to do much more with every piece of content you create with a cohesive system for creating, managing, and publishing content. Instead of piecing together point solutions across a disparate tech stack, an LCMS empowers you to get the job done from a single, powerful system, from elearning modules to software simulations to knowledge-base themes and much more.

A true learning content management system goes beyond the authoring and focuses on the ‘management’ of the content, which when you have a large team or produce large amounts of content, can add up to be an insurmountable task when delivering on multiple business goals, across many teams, languages, and frequent updates to your growing library of content.
