LMS stands for Learning Management System. Its name is very helpful in understanding what it is: a system which enables educators and trainers to manage student learning. Today, this system is online and web-based, using digital software and technology.
The two main components are the server and the user interface. Think of the server as the computer hardware which allows the system to run. The user interface, the part the instructors and learners use, is a collection of input devices and software. For example, an input device could be the learner’s mobile phone. The software would be a particular training course they are working on.
An LMS typically has the following components:
On-demand, Cloud-based course content (educational and/or training) for any time, any place learning Real-time tracking of learner use and performance Reporting analytics to measure course effectiveness
