Learning Management Systems is a common term found in beginner’s guides, eLearning articles as well as tip sheets. The common use of this term makes it essential to know what it entails and its benefits.
A Learning Management System is a software application that is used for the documentation, tracking, reporting, administration, automation and delivery of educational courses, learning and development of programs or training programs. In simple terms, this software application enables you to create, deliver and report on programs and training courses.
These systems are designed to identify training and learning gaps using reporting and analytical data. These systems are centred on online learning delivery, but, they support a range of uses.
Most times, a Learning Management System operates in a web-browser, behind a secure sign-on process. This feature offers students and instructor easy access to courses on-the-go. Thus, enabling leaders and administrators to check student progress and make improvements.
