A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software platform which facilitates the management and flexible delivery of content for web-based learning. It enables the administration, documentation, assessment, tracking and reporting of educational content and training programs, providing organisations with a cost effective method to fulfil their operational, compliance and training requirements.
A learning management system empowers communication and collaboration between trainers and learners without the usual geographical and time constraints. It can be used as a stand alone training delivery platform or as part of your organisation’s blended learning approach – that is, to supplement face-to-face training.
The organisational benefits of implementing a learning management system include:
- Improved distribution of learning
- Excellent return on investment
- Ease of use
- Business impact
- Assessment capabilities
- Reporting capabilities
- Flexible learning options
