An LMS (learning management system) is the engine that powers any online learning program.

It offers a centralized environment to create courses, assign and submit homework, take

assessments, collaborate with classmates, and analyze results. An LMS supports online

learning, distance education, and continuing education.

Who uses it?

The end-users of an LMS are students, teachers/faculty, administrators and parents. The

decision makers include management and leadership from academics, advisement,

instructional or educational technology, curriculum, or IT. In the education market, it is used by

both K12 and Higher education segments.

Why use an LMS?

An LMS can help boost student engagement,

performance, and retention/graduation rates.

An LMS provides automation that replaces

rigorous and expensive manual work, saves

time, and enables you to easily organize your

content, data, and learner audiences.
