DOMINKNOW Who Needs a Learning Content Management System (LCMS)?


A lot of people confuse an LCMS with an LMS because they sound alike. But LCMS and LMS serve a different role in the eLearning Era. ď‚ž A Learning Management System (LMS) delivers and manages eLearning for learners; a Learning Content Management System (LCMS) creates and manages eLearning for content creators. ď‚ž



In fact, an LCMS has more in common with authoring software and Content

Management Systems:

A Learning Management System (LMS) primarily delivers eLearning and tracks a learner's development.

Authoring Software creates eLearning content. Traditionally, authoring software lived on your desktop, not in the cloud. However, today some are cloud-based.

A Content Management System (CMS) stores and organizes content for web sites. It also facilitates sharing and team editing. Your average CMS is ill-suited for eLearning content. For example, it can't open or edit complex courseware files.

A Learning Content Management System (LCMS) combines a cloud-based CMS with a cloud-based authoring system – then adds unique features to facilitate content reuse and team collaboration. These days, the authoring capabilities of a good LCMS are as sophisticated as any standalone authoring software.
