A Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Learning Management System

A new learning management system (LMS) is like a blank canvas. You can proceed with setting the system up two ways:

* In the style of abstract expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, you can start importing learner records and adding content in an impetuous yet passionate way; or
* You can, like Michelangelo preparing to create a fresco, deliberately plan and organize your data

The Jackson Pollock approach feels great! The sense of power that comes from logging into a new application and clicking buttons wildly is exhilarating. This euphoria may, however, be short-lived; replaced—hangover-like—with a nagging sense of “what was I thinking?!”

The Michelangelo approach, though far less exciting at first, can create a structure that is easily maintained, and immediately understood, by any future administrators. When it comes to enterprise software that will be used by many people, order trumps chaos.

When it comes to enterprise software that will be used by many people, order trumps chaos. Order also provides a foundation that will help you scale your learning initiatives as more learners are served by the LMS.
