An LMS is a software application used by educational institutions to administer, track, deliver, and document online/blended courses and training programs. It allows schools and universities to enhance classroom teaching and offer courses to more learners. An LMS handles all aspects of the learning process, from student registration to content delivery, assessment, and reporting. It provides benefits like anytime access to learning, reduced costs, and analytics for monitoring. However, an LMS may not replace informal learning through networking. For an LMS to be truly valuable, ongoing interactions are needed between users and administrators to ensure proper implementation.
