what is lms

A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application or web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. It is a tool that allows you to create, deliver, and report on training courses and programs. LMSs are used for e-learning practices and consist of two elements: a server that performs the base functionality and a user interface (UI) that is operated by instructors, students, and administrators. LMSs are designed to make life easier for those in charge of training and development, such as identifying and assessing individual and organizational learning. They are used for online learning delivery but support a range of uses, acting as a platform for online content, including courses, both asynchronous based and synchronous based. LMSs are used by businesses, government agencies, and traditional and online educational institutions to improve traditional educational methods while also saving organizations time and money. An effective system lets instructors and administrators efficiently manage elements such as user participation, content creation, and assessment of student performance.
