A learning management system (LMS) is software for delivering, tracking and reporting on online learning. Learners sign in to access courses, and administrators see who has enrolled, progressed and completed.
Core features
- Courses organised into modules and lessons.
- Videos, documents and interactive content.
- Quizzes and assessments, with automatic or manual marking.
- Progress tracking and completion reports.

- User roles for learners, facilitators and administrators.
Who uses an LMS
Training providers, schools, tutors, non-profit programmes and companies running onboarding or compliance training all use LMS platforms to reach learners wherever they are.
