Learning Management System (LMS)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A learning management system (LMS) is a software platform used to create, deliver, manage, and track educational programs and training. Organizations use LMS platforms to host e-learning courses, manage enrollments, monitor learner progress, and generate compliance reports. Common LMS platforms include Moodle, Cornerstone, and TalentLMS. An LMS acts as the operational backbone of an organization's digital learning strategy, connecting learners, content, and administrators in one place.
