LMS
LMS (Learning Management System) is a software platform that schools and educational institutions use to organize, deliver, and track educational content and student progress. Think of it as a digital classroom where teachers can post assignments, share learning materials, grade work, and communicate with students. Popular examples include Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle. These systems help teachers manage their classes online and allow students to access their coursework from anywhere. They're especially important for both in-person and remote learning environments.
