FULL STORY
======================================================================

If youve ever taken part in any form of online training, chances are youll be 
familiar with learner management systems (LMS) that can sometimes be clunky, 
unintuitive, and disconnected. 

Danish company LMS365 hopes to change that with the LMS its been improving 
for several years already. The self-proclaimed only learning platform built 
into Microsoft 365 and Teams has just raised $20 million. 

This follows news that LMS365 has entered a partnership with the Learning 
branch of Microsoft-owned LinkedIn, providing more than 18,000 courses to the 
platforms users. LMS built into Teams 

LMS365 claims one of its major selling points is its unique integration with 
the video conferencing platform Microsoft Teams, facilitating a hybrid 
learning model that would otherwise require learners to jump between multiple 
pieces of software, which can be awkward. 

Creating courses should be a breeze, too. The company clearly has ease of use 
in mind, given that support for drag-and-drop straight from popular apps like 
Word and PowerPoint should make it quick to convert existing learning 
material into a digital learning experience. Read more

Company CEO Rasmus Holst reflects on the journey so far as he looks toward 
the future: This capital injection represents a significant change in gear 
for our business. The decision by our CTO, Freddy Bang, to build on Teams in 
2016 sparked a phenomenal growth journey, and now we are ready for the next 
chapter. 

Given that Microsoft doesnt have a dedicated LMS, LMS365s strong foothold may 
see it continue to expand and become one of the leading systems in education, 
though competition is stiff with many training and educational establishments 
shifting online during the pandemic. 

Google offers a similar proposition with integration to the rest of its 
Workspace services, making it a firm favorite among schools and colleges.
