2pm Filtering resources

As anyone who has used a search engine will know, it’s next to useless to be presented with a listing of 2000 items that match our criteria. An LMS can help to narrow down the search for the right resources by acting as a filter: finding those face-to-face and real-time online events that match our time constraints; finding those face-to-face events that take place in suitable locations, e.g. the Bahamas; finding those events that have available spaces; finding resources that match our budget, from deluxe to cheapest possible; finding resources that match our preferences for method (classroom, self-study, etc.); finding those resources that have been reviewed favourably by previous students; and finding those resources that are provided by an organisation’s preferred suppliers.
