This document discusses personalization in learning management systems (LMS). It defines personalization as tailoring the learner's experience based on their needs, preferences, learning style, role, location, and available time. Personalization is desirable as it makes learning more relevant, saves learner time, allows a focus on quality content, and improves engagement. The document provides examples of how organizations have used personalization in their LMS, such as tailoring mandatory training based on employee roles and locations. It also discusses how data can be leveraged to enhance personalization, such as providing location-specific inductions and content ratings tailored to individual roles.
