  INTRODUCTION A learning managementsystem (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of electronic educational technology (also called e-learning) education courses or training programs. LMSs range from systems for managing training and educational records to software for distributing online or blended/hybrid college courses over the Internet with features for online collaboration. Colleges, universities, school districts, and schools use LMSs to deliver online courses and augment on-campus courses. LMSs also act to augment the lessons the teacher is giving in a brick and mortar environment not just replace them. Corporate training departments use LMSs to deliver online training, as well as to automate record-keeping and employee registration. The focus of an LMS is to deliver online courses or training to learners, while managing students and keeping track of their progress and performance across all types of training activities. An LMS is not used to create course content.

   Performance ManagementSystem Integration Most LMSs are web-based, built using a variety of development platforms, like Java/J2EE, Microsoft .NET or PHP. They usually employ the use of a database likeMySQL, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle as the back-end data store. Although most of the systems are commercially developed and have commercial software licenses there are several systems that have an open-source license. Corporate LMSs support multilingual content as services can span across the world. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) support is a de facto standard for LMS system COMPONENTS OF AN LMS There are close to 600 varieties of LMS available for purchase today. Each is unique, and possesses a feature set to meet the needs of a variety of trainers and educators. Some common components or features that can be found in many eLearning platforms include: Rosters: A digital roll call sheet for tracking attendance and for sending invitations to class participants. Registration Control: The ability to monitor and customize the registration processes of elearning curriculum. Document Management: Upload and management of documents containing curricular content. Multiple device access: Delivery of course content over web-based interfaces such as desktops, phones or tablets. Distributed instructor and student base: Remote participation by the instructor or pupil allows courseware to feature multiple teachers or experts from across the globe.

ADVANTAGES OF AN LMS Like many information technology innovations from the past few decades, LMS software is able to add a level of efficiency to companies’ learning systems, with a number of other benefits emerging as well, such as: Easily adapting and reusing materials over time. More choices for creators of curriculum, such as method of delivery, design of materials, and techniques for evaluation. Creating economies of scale that make it less costly for organizations to develop and maintain content for which they used to rely on third parties.

  Improvements in professionaldevelopment and evaluation, allowing companies to get more value from human resources while empowering individuals with additional tools for self-improvement. THE FUTURE OF LMS `The LMS market is booming. With an increasingly mobile population and distributed workforces – the demand for eLearning is at an all-time high. The online training business continues to evolve and adapt to new learning challenges and technological capabilities. Future enhancements of LMS technology:  Tighter integration into collaborative software platforms and messaging frameworks, such as Salesforce and Zendesk.  Migration of data storage to network-based methods, commonly known as “the cloud.”  Further integration with talent management software systems.  Anytime learning with wearable technology integration Current trends in technology and business are favoring the increase of collaborative, web- based applications, user-oriented design, and other features that are often grouped together under the term “Web 2.0.” By further inverting the traditional forms of interaction between instructors and pupils, and enabling a great amount of content to be created and managed more easily, the future of LMS appears to be a dynamic one.

  CONCLUSION Over the past20 years, powerful software for managing complex databases has been combined with digital frameworks for managing curriculum, training materials, and evaluation tools. The LMS allows anyone to create, track, manage and distribute learning materials of any kind. Nearly a ten billion-dollar industry, LMS products and software allow any organization to develop electronic coursework, deliver it with unprecedented reach and flexibility, and manage its continued use over time.
