What is a learning management system (LMS)?

A learning management system (LMS) is a platform that delivers, organizes, tracks, and reports on traditional, virtual and hybrid learning programs.

An LMS serves as the hub for eLearning content, course registration, assignments, assessments, and analytics. Instructional designers use it to structure programs and launch pre-work or follow-up activities, while facilitators and learners track progress, access resources, and complete tasks asynchronously. A strong LMS supports a seamless blend of self-paced learning and live sessions.

Common LMS Features:

• Course Hosting & Delivery: SCORM packages, videos, PDFs, and instructor materials.
• Assessments: Quizzes, polls, and knowledge checks.
• Tracking & Reporting: Monitor learner progress and completion.
• Learner Communication: Email notifications, discussion boards, and feedback tools.
