Learning Management Systems (LMS\u2019s) are, typically Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms that allow businesses, teachers and institutions to create interactive courses for individual or groups of students or learners. With an LMS, instead of creating a standalone PowerPoint, users can put a range of materials together and then use the programme to turn them into a course that can be reused for groups of learners, and even be white-labelled and sold as a pay-per-user course.<\/p>\n
Modern-day LMS\u2019s make their course mobile-compatible, employ blended learning (a mixture of pre-made and live tuition) and can be asynchronous so that students can learn at their own pace. This type of course is popular within businesses where employees need to fulfil certain training obligations as part of their onboarding, or within educational institutions where learning can be supplemented or facilitated from pre-prepared material -Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are a type of LMS.<\/p>\n
LMS\u2019s are usually priced based on number of users, course content or access to specific features.<\/p>\n

The LMS market is vast, with several SaaS companies offering advanced course creation and integration services.<\/p>\n
