INTRODUCTION
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) education courses or training programs.
LMSs range from systems for managing training and educational records to software for
distributing online or blended/hybrid college courses over the Internet with features for online
collaboration. Colleges, universities, school districts, and schools use LMSs to deliver online
courses and augment on-campus courses. LMSs also act to augment the lessons the teacher is
giving in a brick and mortar environment not just replace them. Corporate training departments
use LMSs to deliver online training, as well as to automate record-keeping and employee
registration.
The focus of an LMS is to deliver online courses or training to learners, while managing
students and keeping track of their progress and performance across all types of training
activities. An LMS is not used to create course content.

benefits emerging as well, such as:

more value from human resources while empowering individuals with additional tools
for self-improvement.
under the term Web 2.0. By further inverting the traditional forms of interaction between
instructors and pupils, and enabling a great amount of content to be created and managed more
easily, the future of LMS appears to be a dynamic one.
CONCLUSION

has been combined with digital frameworks for managing curriculum, training
materials, and evaluation tools. The LMS allows anyone to create, track, manage
and distribute learning materials of any kind. Nearly a ten billion-dollar industry,
LMS products and software allow any organization to develop electronic
coursework, deliver it with unprecedented reach and flexibility, and manage its
continued use over time.
