Learning Management Systems (LMS), are systems, usually web or cloud-based, used to create a learning environment by administering, documenting, tracking, reporting, and delivering electronic education (also known as e-learning), or training programs. They are used in educational institutions, as well as throughout the corporate world, government, not-for-profits, and other organizations with learners who need training.
