SRHU Learning

LMS stands short for Learning Management System.

Learning, because you use it to deliver education courses or training programs.

Management, because it helps you organize these courses (create them, change them, assign them to students, grade them, etc).

System, last but not least, is just a fancy word that translates to "software". An LMS is a computer program.

Just like Word helps you write documents and Gmail helps you manage your emails, an LMS is a software program that helps you create, manage and deliver eLearning courses.

An LMS is the "engine" that powers eLearning, and in the most common form it consists of two separate parts:

- A server component that performs the core functionality (creating, managing and delivering courses, authenticating users, serving data and notifications, etc.)

- A user interface that runs inside your browser as a web (like Gmail or Facebook), that is used by administrators, instructors and students
