What is an LMS?


learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs. 

The learning management system concept emerged directly from e-Learning. Learning management systems make up the largest segment of the learning system market. The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s. Learning management systems have faced a massive growth in usage due to the emphasis on remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Learning management systems were designed to identify training and learning gaps, using analytical data and reporting. LMSs are focused on online learning delivery but support a range of uses, acting as a platform for online content, including courses, both asynchronous based and synchronous based. In the higher education space, an LMS may offer classroom management for instructor-led training or a flipped classroom. Modern LMSs include intelligent algorithms to make automated recommendations for courses based on a user's skill profile as well as extract metadata from learning materials to make such recommendations even more accurate.

 

Growth of LMS platforms

 

By 2026, the global online learning market is forecasted to reach over $370 billion dollars. This is not surprising as according to a June 2021 report by TrustRadius, 99% of educational institutions provide LMS and educational technology support for their students. Also, LinkedIn Learning’s 2021 Workplace Learning Report indicates that 73% of L&D pros expect to spend less on ILT (instructor-led training) and 79% expect to spend more on online learning.

 

What is the best LMS?

 

Moodle LMS is one of the top learning management systems. It provides teachers and trainers with a toolbox to build customized learning platforms. It is an open-source, secure, feature-rich software platform that runs on any computer server and all common devices to create a web-based virtual learning space containing “courses”.

These course spaces are where teachers, educators, or trainers create and arrange a wide array of resources and activities into a rich learning experience; where enrolled students and learners interact and work with each other to achieve the learning goals of the course.

At Moodle, we believe that the best learning management systems must support good pedagogical practices, be feature-rich, open source, accessible for all, secure and integrate seamlessly with other platforms.

  • Open-source – Moodle LMS is, and will always remain, an open source which means that its source code is licensed in a way that allows anyone to download the entire software for free and to change how it works by writing new code to add features to it. 
  • Accessible – Moodle LMS is WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. Our integrated content accessibility checkers also help you build courses that accommodate all learners.
  • Secure – Moodle’s development practices include security by design, and as an open source LMS, Moodle LMS enables you to have complete control over your data to meet your local legislation requirements, including GDPR compliance. It also allows organizations or institutions to own their infrastructure.
  • Flexible and feature-rich – Moodle goes beyond the basic content features of most learning platforms and is rich with activities that support good pedagogical practice and require students to actively engage with the learning content and each other in a range of modalities. Plus, Moodle has over 300 plugins (software add-ons)  in the base distribution and nearly 2000 more plugins created by the Moodle community.
  • Integrations – Moodle LMS connects seamlessly with third-party platforms and services; from plagiarism detection to content repositories.

Hundreds of thousands of organizations, in every education sector, in every country on the globe, and in nearly every language use Moodle to manage their online learning.
