Learning Management Systems, a Powerful Tool for Managing Databases

At the turn of the 1990’s, complex databases had to be managed by combining them with digital frameworks. Among them was the Learning Management System (LMS), a ten-billion-dollar industry that allows one to create, track, manage and distribute any kind of learning material. Moreover, LMS products and software allow an organization to develop electronic coursework which is delivered with unfathomed reach and is flexible. Additionally, its use and management can be done over time.

The LMS, according to consulting companies, was a powerful tool that specialized in staffing and training. A traditional application of LMS was in the education sector where they were used to deliver coursework to schools and promulgate e-learning.

However, in the last few decades, companies have used LMS to train internal employees and even customers. Below is a quick review of some of the components of an LMS.

Common Features of a Corporate LMS

When corporations use an LMS in their training environment, they are fitted with additional features, which serve to satisfy goals in relation to management and performance evaluation such as:

Automatic Enrollment: Logic developed within an LMS registers and reminds employees of mandatory courses offered.

Enhanced Security: Most corporate LMS solutions provide single sign-on, and provide additionally, an advanced authentication system and firewall protection to ensure data security.

White labeling: Creating online training content that aligns with the company’s brand.

Multi-Lingual Support: A good corporate LMS will feature multilingual support. This is helpful in training.

Advantages of an LMS

Just like with other IT innovations, an LMS adds a level of efficiency and sophistication to learning systems. Other benefits include:

Easy adaptation and reusing of materials over time

Creates more choices, for instance, in method of delivery, material design, and evaluation techniques

Creates economies of scale, making it less costly compared with the cases where they relied on third parties to develop and maintain their content

LMS improves professional development and evaluation. This enables companies to garner more value from their human resources, while empowering individuals with additional self-improvement tools

The Future of LMS

The LMS market is indeed thriving. This is fostered by the fact that our lives are ever increasingly being intertwined by technology. Mobile technology is also at the forefront and with a distributed workforce, the demand for e-learning is inevitable. Online training businesses continue on their path of evolution, adapting to new learning trends and technological capabilities.

Future LMS Technology Enhancements include:

Integration of collaborative software and messaging framework

Migrate from “the cloud” as a place for data storage

Further integration with talent management software

Facial recognition and engagement tracking

Trends in business and technology advancements have led to the need for collaborative and interactive web-based applications that are user designed and oriented and are compatible with the tentacles of Web 2.0, by the least standards.

Further investigation into traditional forms of interaction, and comparing them with incorporating LMS will give further insight into the matter and its benefits.
