This document discusses learning management systems (LMS) and their implementation at UNITEN. It begins with a brief history of LMS and definitions. It then provides examples of open source and commercial LMS platforms. Key features of LMS include registration, course management, testing, and administration. LMS provide benefits like distance learning support but also have costs and implementation challenges. Local universities like UMS, UUM and OUM currently use LMS to facilitate online learning. UNITEN should consider costs and ease of use when selecting an LMS, and offer support like online tutorials when implementing it.

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)

PRESENTED BY : MASHITAH HARIS SUPERVISOR : MR TJ ISKANDAR

HISTORY
In the early 90s some Luther Seminary (St. Paul) faculty members were struggling to retain students who didnt have the funds or, because of family obligations, couldnt relocate to attend seminary. Tom Walker knew there had to be some kind of tool that would enable people to communicate with each other without being in the same place at the same time. Learning management systems (LMS) also sometimes known as Course management systems (CMS) have come a long way since those early days.

DEFINITION
Learning Management System (or LMS) is a broad term used to describe software tools designed to manage user learning interventions and provide access to online learning services for students, teacher, and administrator.
