The RFP requested a two part program, a one-day interactive instructor led virtual symposium and a post-event reinforcement and performance support curriculum delivered via mobile devices. The RFP was written by an alumni who also conducted the bidder’s conference and responded to questions from the students throughout the semester.

One item, that people who are looking for a learning system often perceive is that the RFP will be the key deciding factor on selecting or at least narrowing down their list for a learning system. The IT folks involved in the RFP is another monster. Oh, and they hosted on-site as I recall, but I digress.

The LMS RFP is the best approach for buyers to offer their expectations to LMS Vendors in the form of a Request for Proposal (RFP), and LMS Vendors to understand the prospect’s exact requirement and expectations from the product. Nonetheless, there are five compelling reasons to devote time and effort to creating an RFP.

I teach a class called “Managing Multimedia Projects” in that class students are given an RFP for an e-learning based proposal and they have to develop a solution. This semester the idea came from an alumni, Chris Chappell who has created a site called MyBestDay.net. The proposal also included a marketing plan.

In one case in my own experience, I found out several months into the implementation process that the LMS we had selected would only run videos from a certain site (and had to have a special codec installed to even do that).

These discussions center on what requirements should go into an LMS RFP and more broadly how the LMS should really be integrated into the organization. And it can be really important if you want to create web sites outside the LMS that might provide context to a set of courses in the LMS. Many LMS vendors provide this capability.
