A learning management system goes beyond content delivery to offer course administration, registration, tracking, reporting and skills gap analysis. Learning management systems have become increasingly important in knowledge-based organisations. The Role of LMS: The role of an LMS varies depending on the organization’s objectives, online training strategy, and desired outcomes. However, the most common use for LMS software is to deploy and track online training initiatives, which is also functional for remote learners. In some cases, the LMS may even have built-in eLearning authoring tools that allow you to develop online training materials without additional third-party software. LMS users fall into two categories: 1) Online learners who use the LMS to participate in online training courses. 2) An eLearning team that relies on the LMS platform to disburse information and update the online training content.
