LMS & LCMS Defined

An LMS …An LMS is a system designed to automate the administration of training events. LMS functionality includes user registration, tracking courses in a catalog,and recording data from learners; it also has reporting features for analysispurposes. An LMS is typically designed to handle courses by multiple publishersand providers. It usually doesn’t include its own authoring capabilities; instead, itfocuses on managing courses created by a variety of other sources. Adapted from http://www.nettskolen.com/forskning/Deﬁnition%20of%20Terms.pdf, http://www.astd.org/LC/glossary.htm & http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/ict/services/teachingandresearchservices/elearning/aboutelearning/elearningglossary

An LCMS … An LCMS is a system used primarily for development, maintenance, tagging, and storage of instructional content. During development, it is used to import and store assets that will be used to create a learning object; and create and store content objects. The LCMS may have workflow process functionality and the ability to tag assets and content objects with metadata. If set up to work with dynamic delivery, an LCMS will assemble the proper assets on-the-fly to create a learning object. While many LCMS can deliver content, they usually do not have the administrative functionality of an LMS. Many LCMS can export content in a variety of different formats. Adapted from Deborah Adams (2010, personal communication), http://www.nettskolen.com/forskning/Definition%20of%20Terms.pdf, http://www.informetica.com/article/lms-vs-lcms-vs-the-informetica- lcms-117.asp, http://www.astd.org/LC/glossary.htm & http://www.checkpoint-elearning.com/article/4465.html
