SYSTEM (LMS)

HISTORY
• In the early ’90s some Luther Seminary (St. Paul)
faculty members were struggling to retain students who
didn’t have the funds or, because of family obligations,
couldn’t relocate to attend seminary.
• Tom Walker knew there had to be some kind of tool that
would enable people to communicate with each other
without being in the same place at the same time.
• Learning management systems (LMS) also sometimes
known as Course management systems (CMS) have
come a long way since those early days.
DEFINITION
• Learning Management System (or LMS) is a
broad term used to describe software tools
designed to manage user learning interventions
and provide access to online learning services
for students, teacher, and administrator.
• A software system, that allows the development
and delivery of educational courses using the
Internet as a delivery system.
