LMS software, or computer-based training software, helps educational institutions and businesses to deliver knowledge via online learning programs — which is vital in today’s fast-paced digital world.

All workflows are tracked online with set parameters ensuring students have access to and complete learning modules. LMS systems automate the entire process, from start to finish.

Built-in systems include:

  • Developing curricula and learning courses to educate students/employees in specific areas to teach them relevant skills
  • Tracking the results of such programs to ensure attendees are staying on schedule
  • Allows students to demonstrate competencies and gain certifications that are relevant to their role
  • Providing statistics and reporting to give more insight into the success of their learning programs

What Type of Buyer Are You?

Before jumping in a choosing a system, you should assess what kind of needs you may have. The majority of people fall into one of these categories:

Education-industry. The most obvious buyers of learning management platforms are schools and universities. Courses offer students access to assignments and testing information via online-based LMSs created specifically for the purpose of learning knowledge and testing this across quiz, submit and other related mechanisms.

Corporate training. LMSs are building a strong showing in the corporate training areas. This is true in regulated industries where employees need to maintain certifications or licenses to comply with industry or government standards. Often a creative approach is taken when developing this course work as it needs to be tailored to fit a specific outcome.
