Software for creating, delivering, tracking, and managing educational courses and training programs.
A learning management system (LMS) is the digital backbone of online education. Teachers and trainers upload lessons, videos, quizzes, and assignments; learners access them, submit work, and track their progress; administrators enroll users and generate reports.
Schools and universities use platforms such as Moodle and Canvas, while companies use corporate LMS tools for onboarding, compliance training, and upskilling employees. Modern systems often support mobile learning, discussion forums, certificates, gamification, and integration with video conferencing. Some now include AI features that recommend content or help create quizzes. Standards such as SCORM and xAPI allow course content to work across different platforms. Choosing an LMS involves weighing usability, accessibility, cost, and data privacy.
