Meridian Global LMS is an online learning and knowledge management platform that integrates courseware delivery, administrative reporting and documentation, knowledge mapping, competency management, collaboration tools, knowledge capture, and performance management. Meridian Global LMS is compliant with the latest industry standards, such as AICC and SCORM, allowing the seamless integration of commercial off-the-shelf courseware libraries as well as custom content. Meridian Global LMS is the company's flagship product. In 2008, members of the eLearning Guild rated Meridian as the learning management system (LMS) easiest to use for users and administrators alike.
Meridian Global is an all-in-one suite of enterprise learning management tools, including
- .NET platform—Meridian Global is built on the Microsoft .NET platform, allowing for multiple advantages. The single biggest benefit of using a .NET LMS is the ability to build smaller, simpler applications that can easily integrate with existing or legacy systems.
- research—Meridian Global contains a search engine that enables a student to search the entire knowledge repository at the learning object level.
- collaboration spaces—Virtual team rooms provide collaboration areas with document and presentation sharing, blogs, a team calendar, and e-mail management tools.
- broad knowledge capture—The knowledge repository provides access to learning opportunities extending far beyond classroom-based course offerings, computer-based training and online learning. The knowledge repository captures, categorizes, and catalogs knowledge assets ranging from courseware, simulations, job aids, subject matter experts, and lessons learned, to references—all at the learning object level.
Meridian Global is designed with the following features in order to make learning (and administering learning) easy.
- e-commerce, for making the purchase and sale of learning a snap
- configurable interfaces based on user preference
- more languages to reach more learners: Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish
- on-the-fly multilingual interfaces
- role-based custom user experience
- tag groups, peer contacts, and content favorites
- search feature and calendar for finding courses and scheduling training
The company also offers Meridian Anywhere 3.0, a desktop application that allows organizations to deliver SCORM-conformant content without connectivity to the organization's LMS.
