2. What is Learning Management System?

LMS - Information System

“Learning Management System is a software
application for the administration, documentation,
tracking and reporting of training programs,
classroom and online events, e-learning programs,
and training content.” (Sharma & Vatta
2013:1000)

“The LMS provides a web-based interface with
which faculty and administrators can monitor
learner progress through reports of enrollments,
completions and grades. The LMS also provides a
web-based interface for the leaner to enroll in

3. Information System = Information + Technology +
People + Processes (Heeks 2006:4)

4. Thus LMS is

a server-based or cloud-based information system that enables
learning environment and its administration through content
distribution and managing users.

5. Common interoperability standards and frameworks for
LMS

AICC (Aviation Industry Computer-based training Committee)

IMS (Information Management Standard) or IMS Global
Learning Consortium

SCORM

6. Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)

Exchange courses between LMSs

Reuse content pieces across different courses

Sequence content tailored to the learner

7. SCORM as Product of ADL

8. Advanced Distributed Learning

One more project of DoD

ADL vision: Provide access to the highest quality education and
training, tailored to individual needs, delivered cost effectively,
anywhere and anytime.”

ADL aimed to produce a set of standards for the e-learning
industry that allow various LMSs to “find, share, import,
export, and re-use e-learning content with one another.”
(GrayHarrman 2014)

This initiative was named SCORM

9. SCORM Benefits

Provides an object-based approach for developing and
delivering instructional content

Allows interoperability of these objects across multiple LMSs

Enables sophisticated learning strategies based on the learner's
mastery and progress (individualized learning)

Permits the packing of learning content and instructional
strategies for import and export

12. LMS – How LMS can be implemented?
<Basic Principles>
• Do not have to convert all teaching/learning
activities into a LMS
• Conduct a training on LMS from a user-centric
perspective (How LMS can help users) instead of
a tool-centric perspective (explain the functions
of the tool)
− Ex) Use a case example and explain how LMS can
help teachers store teaching materials at one place
and share them with students easily to save their
administration time so that they can focus more on
engaging with students and improving the quality of
teaching

13. Implementing LMS
Best steps for implementation
1. Assess current management of teaching/learning
processes
2. Identify steps that can be integrated into a LMS
3. Choose LMS
Model to keep in mind – Technology Acceptance
Model
− User's perception of systems
− Usefulness and ease of use
1. Introduce LMS
