On Tuesday, this country held its election for US President, and, like many people, it prompted me to think about a lot. For example, I’ve been thinking about what America really stands for in people’s minds and what it means for me. I’ve pondered the precariousness of any election and the nervousness that all connected with that election feel.

While in-person training is a fantastic way to build community and transmit information to employees and members, they’re expensive and labor-intensive to produce. Throw in a global pandemic and in-person training becomes less ideal. That’s where an LMS, or learning management system, comes in. An LMS can significantly reduce costs while allowing organizations to create training courses and educational materials at scale. .
