Fastrak-Consulting: Making the case for content
Perhaps one of the best ways of understanding what an LCMS is, is by looking at what it is not. An LCMS is not a way of serving up a catalogue of ready-built and shrink-wrapped course offerings to learners. If you want to manage the provision of courses - online, instructor-led or whatever - throughout your organisation, get a learning management system, an LMS. What an LCMS allows you to do is create and assemble a library of digital content that can then be applied flexibly to suit a variety of needs - self-study e-learning courses perhaps, but also electronic performance support materials, components in virtual classroom sessions, even handouts for face-to-face events.
