What features should I look for in an LMS for associations?
The best LMS for associations should include: seamless AMS integration (with platforms like iMIS, Personify, Fonteva, and Aptify), built-in e-commerce for selling courses and generating non-dues revenue, certification management with automated CE tracking, mobile-friendly access, robust analytics and reporting, and white-label branding options. D2L Brightspace offers all of these capabilities plus expert implementation support.
