What is an LMS?


 12 February 2025

What is an LMS? An LMS, or learning management system, is a type of technology that allows course creators to share online training with their audience and track important data about learners’ performance.

LMS software offers a variety of benefits for organisations who create online learning. They offer a secure, central location to host your e-learning courses. They can also allow you to control who has access to your online courses, ensuring they’re only visible to specific people. This can be particularly valuable for more sensitive course content, such as organisation-specific compliance training.


The tracking abilities of learning management systems can prove incredibly valuable for tackling learning objectives and improving the strength of your learning programs. With an LMS, you can learn things like how far users progress through your content, how long it takes them to complete a lesson, how they scored on a final exam, and more.


How to choose a learning management system


When choosing an LMS for your business, there are a variety of factors to consider, including pricing, customisation abilities, and integration capabilities. Consider the aspects of employee training—for example, test scores or participation statistics—that are important for you to track. Do you require some amount of live, instructor-led training, or are your training programs exclusively asynchronous?


Remember: The best learning management systems for your organisation should be compatible with your other preferred learning technologies and align with your unique needs.
