Background
The learning management system is actually an engine which provides the feature if e-
learning services which consists mainly two important parts which are the user interface and the

server component. Here the LMS or the learning management system provides the education and
training services and it also helps to organize the courses that need to be learned. A typical type
of learning management system was introduced in the year back 1723 and from there the LMS
has been developed much further (De Smet et al. 2016). In the earlier stage of development the
learning management system was used for purpose of corresponding teaching. After that LMS
was used for multimedia teaching which was most advanced development in the learning
management system after starting of it. After that in 1980s modern telecommunication features
was introduced in the learning management system that is used for the educational services using
the computer systems. This was known as the telematic teaching. In the current situation the
learning management system is used for as system for teaching through the internet.
In this case a training organization is looking for implementing the learning management
system within their organization and for that either they will be purchasing the system or they
will be developing the LMS by their own. This system of learning management will be used by
both of the students and the staff of the organization. By the implementation of this system all
the users of this system can access this system while they are on and off campus (Laudon and
Laudon 2016). This is the main reason for which learning management system is carrying a huge
importance for the organization. With this, the learning management system is also carrying
various of other features for the organization which are described in the following section.
 Integration: Integration is one of the main features that is offered by the learning
management system. Through this system data can be easily shared among other
organizational system that is working alongside with the learning management system
(Poon et al. 2017). Thus integration capability of the learning management system is very

high, which includes human resource information system, workforce management,
enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management. Management of Content: Management of content is another is another feature that is
provided by the LMS. All of the important materials can be easily organized within the
organization by using the learning management system. Mobile Learning: Learning through the mobile devices is one of the important feature
that is currently provided by the learning management system (Joo, Kim and Kim 2016).
This features of the learning management system helps the users to access the important
materials through their mobile devices which is actually very much accessible in any of
the circumstances. Testing and Assessment: Testing and assessment is always important for the
organization. Here this aspects provides an important functionality as they are flexible in
nature. Through a proper testing and assessment various types of post-test and per-test
can be provided regarding the system compatibility. Also the systems can be modified as
per the requirement. For this testing and assessment is an important feature that is
provided by the leaning management system. Reporting and Tracking: The learning management system is having an enhanced
reporting capabilities which is important for the organization which are related with some
learning services. Important reports that are provided by the learning management system
are the content quality, learner progress and the e-commerce related programming. With
the reporting tracking can also be done using the learning management system which
includes learning progress tracking and exam report tracking.

 Security: Security is important for all of the organization and in this aspect security of the
data is most important for most of the organization. Here the learning management
system plays an important role for the protection of important data within organization
(Rani et al. 2016). A normal learning management system does not only holds important
learning materials for the staffs and the students but also it hold the personal information
of the learners and the staffs due to this reason this LMS system holds an optimized
security procedures.
The training organization is also interested for the implementation of the learning
management system as this provides various of opportunities for their organization which will
optimize their business procedures. The important opportunity that will be provided by the
learning management system is reducing the expenses of training. In the current situation the
cost of providing training to the employees is very much high and for this in many situations
organizations face losses. By the implementation of the learning management system the training
organization can use very effectively to train their new employees at very much lower cost with a
higher access (Limongelli et al. 2016). Another opportunity by using the learning management
system is that it makes the course access location independent. Means the trainees and the staffs
can easily access the important resources from anywhere they want 24x7. Thus greater flexibility
is achieved in this case for the learnings. Another important opportunity that is provided by the
learning management system is the customization of the learning and the training courses. By the
implementation of this courses and training modules can be modified easily as per the
requirement of the users. Thus flexible training program can be created depending on the
trainees. Thus proper training can be distributed among all of the employees and the staff or
within the students.

Due to all of the above opportunities in the learning management system an efficient type
of educational environment will be trigged due to which the actual quality of training and
learning resources will be improved quite further (Wichadee 2015). This will attract other
peoples towards this and for this overall revenue of the organization will be increased. This is
one of the main opportunity that will be provided by the learning management system.
By and large, 85% of understudies utilized a LMS for their learning. Among those
understudies, 56% said they utilized a LMS in most or all courses. As far as use of a LMS, 93%
of understudies were happy with the essential highlights and elements of a LMS, for example,
getting to course substance, submitting assignments, and checking course advance. Contrasted
with the fundamental highlights, understudies demonstrated the most reduced fulfillment with
cutting edge highlights of a LMS such as coordinated effort instruments/workspace and
commitment in important cooperation’s. In like manner, one of the major reasons why
understudies are disappointed with utilizing the further developed highlights of a LMS can be
found in the need of preparing bolsters. 51% of understudies demonstrated that they could
improve in their learning in the event that they were well prepared for utilizing LMS highlights.
Despite the fact that 67% of understudy thought of themselves as being decidedly ready to use
innovation, for example, a LMS, the impression of their readiness for a LMS were not steady
with their real capacity to utilize a LMS in their learning. In expansion to this, 56% of
understudies needed their staff to effectively utilize a LMS for their instructing.
