How to Use a Learning Management System (LMS)?

If you just purchased a Learning Management System (LMS), chances are, you’re wondering how to use it. And we’re here to help. Although many LMS work similarly, there’re fundamental differences between internally-facing LMS and externally-facing LMS due to their different purposes and functionalities. So here, we’ll go over how to use TalentCards (internal LMS) and Kajabi (external LMS) so you can see the difference. 

How to Use LMS: The Basics

• Collecting Data: Gathering valuable insights on user engagement, revenue, and more.

Now, let's explore how Kajabi and Talent Cards handle these key aspects.
