Learning Management System (LMS) is a platform or software application designed to integrate learning, as well as administer, manage and distribute educational and information materials, generate analytics, and reporting.
The main challenge is to replace scattered training programs with systematic methods to improve and increase the level of productivity across the organization.
The term “distance learning system (LMS)” is also often encountered, as a learning management system is used primarily for distance learning or remote support of the educational process. Nevertheless, the functional system makes it possible to effectively administer programs implemented in a remote and mixed format.
In addition, modern learning management systems can be complemented by other technologies, such as a training management system (Learning Management System, TMS), where learning is managed under the guidance of an instructor, and a Learning Records Repository (Learning Records Store, LRS), a system that tracks all user actions: open the video clip, paused, rewound the video to the end, reopened the video clip, opened the test, answered the test question correctly or incorrectly, etc.
