LMS
LMS (Learning Management System) is a software platform used by companies to deliver, track, and manage employee training and development programs. Think of it as a digital classroom where employees can take courses, watch training videos, complete assessments, and track their learning progress. Common examples include Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas. These systems help organizations keep track of who has completed required training, manage course content, and ensure compliance with training requirements. You might also hear it called a "training platform," "e-learning system," or "online learning portal."
