This document discusses and compares various e-learning management systems (LMS) for use in higher education. It begins with an introduction to LMS and why they are used. Popular open-source LMS like Moodle, ATutor and ILIAS are compared based on their features. The roles of LMS in e-learning and libraries are described. Barriers to adopting LMS are also outlined. The document concludes that while LMS have common features, Moodle is the most adaptable, and that there is still work to be done to fully implement e-learning.

Editor's Notes
- Improved training costs - Producing learning content is time consuming. You also have savings through decreased travel, reduced material, and hopefully improved (and more efficient) performance. . Increased productivity - Because elearning is not bound by geography or time, you can control training’s impact on production by training people during down time. Standardization - Elearning allows you to create a standardized process and consistency in the delivery of content. It also compresses delivery time. Real-time access - course can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Improved retention - The combination of multimedia and instructional design can produce a very rich learning experience that is repeatable. Throw in some good practice activities with feedback and you have a learning environment that’s going to help your learners retain the course content which will produce results. . Knowledge management - If you incorporate some of the tools that allow collaboration and conversation, you can capture organizational knowledge that is available for future learners. Encourage sharing - The foundation of a learning community is built on sharing what you know with others. This is where incorporating a forum or wiki really adds value to your elearning.
