this week me and my partner, amalina fatin have been discussing and struggle a lot but unfortunately we update about the course/learning management system (CMS/LMS)
a bit late.
seems that i'm quite lagging in updating this blog,
it's better we straight to the main point which is about the studying
(what, why, who, where and how) of course/learning management
system.
Learning Management System is designed keeping an eye on the corporate learning market.
It makes the courses available, makes enrollments and develops its confirmation, checks learner eligibility, develops reminders of class schedules, records course completion, develops tests, communicates the completion of the course to the learner's employer and generates follow-up correspondence to the learner.

WHAT is (CMS/LMS) ?
* A software application or Web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. A learning management system provides an instructor with a way to create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess student performance.
It may also provide students with the ability to use interactive features such as threaded discussions, video conferencing, and discussion forums. Optional LMS features may include a built-in authoring tool, chat boards, and discussion boards.
WHY use (CMS/LMS) ?
* help students come to class prepared
* get students to interact in greater depth with subject matter before class
* deliver the 'what' material outside of class time
* improved communication
* assist collaborative learning
WHO use (CMS/LMS) ?
* some institutions rather than purchasing a CMS or adopting an open source solutions have used a combination of homegrown solutions plus vendor supplied solutions which together add up to some or all of the functionality found in complete CMS.
WHERE are the likely impacts?
The boundaries between the CMS with other institutional systems will be blurred. Much as the OKI initiative envisions, CMS vendors will try to have either provide end to end solutions and/or they will adhere to standards such as those offered by OKI, IMS,
SCORM (Shareable Courseware Object Reference Model) and others.
HOW are CMS evolving?
as the market for these products improved and the fundamental technology matures, CMS are becoming increasingly more sophisticated both in their architecture and in their feature set. In other word, there's a strong shift to a more open architecture for these systems which will in turn allow for the creation of a marketplace of third-party applications that can be integrated into the core system as modules.
There's also a trend to enable increasingly seamless integration with other major campus information systems :
- the student record system
- the campus portal
- the library system

The basic functions of LMS :
* registration of learners
* tracking participation in courses
*testing
*conducting follow-up discussions
*fee processing and fee transfer among departments
* schedule courses
*managing skills
*managing blended learning
Learning Management System and Course Management System cannot replace each other because of the different learning activities that they support though academic and corporate learning have gone the electronic way.
It's important to know that education is gaining long term knowledge while training is gaining knowledge for immediate application.

REFLECTION
On topic Course/Learning Management System (C/LMS),
it enables a better understanding and placement into jobs or further study.
at the first place, i felt it so difficult to understand but
after did some researches and discussion with my partner, it becomes clearer to me.
i just know that LMS is a learner-centric and it focuses on e-learning process management and content delivery.
