What is an LMS?

The objective of a knowledge management system like an LMS (Learning Management System) is to provide constant feedback and followup in training and education processes. An LMS allows users to have a private and personal environment in which to learn. Certification and learning paths can be created for different positions and responsiblities. Users can create their own learning paths and really take control of their own career development.

From a company or organization standpoint, management can now have knowledge about what their people are doing and learning. Up to 100,000 users can use the system with grades and learning paths. Management can use this information to make decisions about the organization´s effectiveness.

In summary, an LMS provides users with a way to increase knowledge and therefore productivity, and it allows management to have information about all the employees or users.
