A Learning Management System (LMS) is an application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of education courses, training programs or e-learning packages. SCORM stands for ‘Sharable Content Object Reference Model’.

SCORM is a set of standards that all Learning Management Systems and all e-learning authoring tools must adhere to. This is so that any content created using a SCORM e-learning authoring tool will work on any SCORM LMS.

To use the DVD analogy, when a company makes a DVD player, they design the DVD player to use the DVD standards, and the people who make DVD disks design their disks to use the same DVD standards. This ensures any DVD will play on any DVD player.
 

With a Learning Management System you can implement e-learning courses and interactive content with the following features:

• User Management
  Each user/employee will have their own user account (login) to access course material that is assigned to them. Department managers and HR managers can manage the assigned content and the reporting groups
   
• Course Categories
  Organize your training modules into categories to make it easier for learners to understand and navigate
   
• Prerequisites
  Define a list of courses to be taken in order (so course B cannot be started until course A has been completed)
   
• Lesson Structure
  Structure your lessons to contain clear theory, practical and knowledge check sections
   
• Course Tests
  Create custom tests and quizzes with multiple question types and random question banks (to stop the sharing of answers by making the test different every time it is taken)
   
• Certificates
  Upload your own custom certificates for users to print once they have completed a course
   
• e-Mail notifications
  Send automatic e-mails Notifications of Test Results
   
• Subscriptions
  Sell subscription access to your training content
