LMS
LMS (Learning Management System) is a software platform used to organize, deliver, and track educational content and training programs. Think of it as a digital classroom or training hub where instructors can share materials, students can take courses, and administrators can monitor progress. Common examples include Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas. These systems help educational institutions and companies manage their training programs, from simple online courses to complete degree programs. You might also hear it called an "e-learning platform" or "virtual learning environment."
