Frequently Asked Questions
What is an association LMS?
An association LMS (learning management system) is a platform designed specifically for professional and trade associations to deliver continuing education, certification programs, and professional development to their members. Unlike generic corporate LMS platforms, an association LMS includes features like CE credit tracking, AMS integrations, e-commerce for course sales, and member-specific access controls.
What features should I look for in an LMS for associations?
The best LMS for associations should include: seamless AMS integration (with platforms like iMIS, Personify, Fonteva, and Aptify), built-in e-commerce for selling courses and generating non-dues revenue, certification management with automated CE tracking, mobile-friendly access, robust analytics and reporting, and white-label branding options. D2L Brightspace offers all of these capabilities plus expert implementation support.
How can an LMS benefit my association?
