A Learning Management System (LMS) is a tool that stores, maintains, and delivers learning content, such as instructional videos.
Administrators can then assign content to students as desired while monitoring their progress.
Within a Learning Management System, administrators can manage and track students’ progress more efficiently. You may also run various reports to collect data, which may help you make tweaks to your lessons for subsequent classes.
Many LMSs have additional features, such as discussion boards and community forums, to encourage collaboration amongst users.
For online creators, we recommend systems like Thinkific, Teachable, and Learndash.
