Learning management system that builds capability

LMS stands for a learning management system.

 A learning management system is software for creating, delivering and tracking online courses. It gives instructors a way to build and deliver content, gives learners a place to complete and interact with it, and gives administrators the reporting to track who's done what. 

Look at what matters most for your organisation: scalability, ease of use, and how well it fits your existing systems. Factor in how much training and support your team and your learners will need to get started. 

 There are many on the market. Ciphr LMS is one example, used by organisations across a wide range of sectors and sizes.

 There are hundreds of different LMS on the market.

 Cost depends on the system and the size of your organisation. There's a solution for every budget, from small teams to large enterprises.

A central hub for learning activity. A single place to manage, store and share training materials. Reporting on completion rates. Support for a range of content formats so different learners can engage in different ways.

A central platform for content. Support for varied formats. An interface that's genuinely easy to use, accessible anywhere. Automated admin wherever possible. Reporting that gives you real insight, not just a completion list.

An LMS (or learning management system) is learning software that stores, manages and shares learning activities to staff within an organisation. eLearning (electronic learning, or online learning), is training that is delivered virtually, most often through video and audio. An LMS will typically host eLearning content alongside training content in other formats. The two terms are closely linked but not interchangeable.
