You're right on, integrating learning and work does not have to be complicated to be effective. In fact in my experience, sometimes LMS systems can be a barrier to close integration because they add that extra layer of interface that can put some distance between the employee and the support. LMS systems are administrative by nature (with some exceptions), primarily there to house content and track usage data. EPSS tools (like "LearningGuide" mentioned by Emma above) are more tightly integrated with the task and information is available more rapidly without having to navigate through non task relevant content. Usage info can be fed back to an LMS if needed. That may be what your doing. There are so many LMSs out there (big and small, low cost, high cost and open source) that I wonder why you would be developing another one. Do you have a unique need? Tom:

I'm aware of the the tool but have not used it. Have you been involved in a Learning Guide project? What was the nature of the solution? Emma:
