“So what is an LMS?” I get asked this question a lot by family and friends and people I meet in general. It is mainly when they ask the question “so what do you do for a living?”
When I tell then I work for a company that develops an LMS and learning technology, it is the first response that I get!
So I am assuming that there are plenty of other people out there who also have no idea what an LMS is and what it does and what it is used for. To that end, I thought I would share an explanation of this clearly unknown phenomenon!
Wikipedia has this simple definition for a Learning Management System:
A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of electronic educational technology (also called e-learning) courses or training programs.
