World of LMS
LMS, stands for Learning Management System, or to me, a dynamically generated Webpage written in either PHP, Java or ASP(x). However, the discovery does not really stop there, the power of LMS is not what is can do out of the box, but what it really represents.
Most common LMS, such as WebCT or Moodle will allow interactions between the instructors and the instructed. However, the ability to submit assignments or review one’s grades is not all that a LMS can do. Ultimately, we can think of the LMS as a virtual school, we can add anything we like on to it. With each new addition, the LMS becomes stronger, have more useful tools or in some case, simply looks better. It is idea to think of the world of an LMS as portal to many virtual classrooms rather then an electronic version of a student’s handbook.
