  2. A Learning Management System (LMS) is a set of software tools designed to manage user learning interventions including online, virtual classroom, and instructor-led courses. web-based and facilitate "anytime, any place, any pace" access to learning content and administration. Learning Management System:

  3. commercially developed and restrict access to their source code, free and open-source models do exist. Commercial systems (Blackboard, WebCT, eCollege, and Desire2Learn) Open source (Moodle, Sakai, Segue, and Coursework). Learning Management System: Learning Management System:

  4. can be used to totally or partially replace face-to-face teaching. The focus of an LMS is to manage learners, keeping track of their progress and performance across all types of training activities. Learning Management System: Learning Management System:

  9. These are instrumental in assuring that organizations meet rigid certification requirements, can simplify global certification efforts, enable entities to align learning initiatives with strategic goals, and provide a viable means of enterprise-level skills management. Learning Management System:

  10. Helps educators create effective online learning communities and create online courses with opportunities for rich interaction. Modular in construction and can readily be extended by creating plugins for specific new functionality. Learning Management System:

  11. Promotes collaboration, critical reflection, etc, and is suitable for 100% online classes as well as to supplement face-to-face learning. Simple, efficient, compatible, low-tech browser interface and is easy to install. Learning Management System:

  21. Learning management systems, particularly open-source ones, have a crucial role in bridging the digital divide. To maximize their benefits, the higher education institutions in other countries must integrate them with their web sites, portals, library catalogs, learning repositories, instant messaging, etc. What has to be done: Learning Management System:

  22. Universities and other institutions of higher learning in India can adopt the open source LMS which are considered to meet the qualities of the commercial ones including Blackboard, WebCT, etc. What has to be done Learning Management System:

  23. The Universities in India can hence, effectively materialize the model of coordination-based LMS which would contribute to their excellence. However, it must not occur at the cost of detaching universities from their organizational goals. What has to be done? Learning Management System:
