learning management system (LMS)
A learning management system (LMS) is a software application
or Web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning
process. Typically, a learning management system provides an instructor with a
way to create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess
student performance. A learning management system may also provide students
with the ability to use interactive features such as threaded discussions, video
conferencing, and discussion forums. The Advanced Distance Learning group,
sponsored by the United States Department of Defense, has created a set of
specifications called Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)
to encourage the standardization of learning management systems.
Advantage of LMS
1. Streamlined training process
Using an LMS to manage blended learning will improve and streamline your training administration process, allowing you to plan your training activities calendar and share it with your learners, trainers and co-administrators.
2. Ability
to deliver engaging and motivating training
It is a well known fact that different people learn
in different ways, with most being able to retain only 10% of what they hear. However,
the learning and retention gets incrementally better with the addition of a new
sense. This means, a training program that offers a variety of approaches,
including face-to-face, online, mobile to name a few, is bound to have a
greater success rate. And blended learning program carried out via an LMS
enables you to do just that.
