Glossary of Learning Terms > L > Learning Management System (LMS)
A system that manages the addition, deployment and tracking of learning content used for training administration and performance management purposes. Most LMS products include functionality for course catalogs (search/browse functionality), launching courses, registering students, tracking student progress and assessments, certification and compliance and delivering reports. Most LMS products are focussed on these tasks, however some also include add-on utilities to create courses. See also Learning Content Management System (LCMS).
