What is a learning management system?
The learning management system (LMS) is a platform that enables users to follow courses, take tests and exams, and gain insight into their results. This provides insight into all learning activities that the organisation makes available to its employees. A learning management system is often used in companies to keep track of which employees have taken which courses, have completed them and which still need to be completed.
Thelearning management system in itself is primarily an administrator platform where administration, tracking and reporting can be maintained and viewed by authorized users, such as administrators.
The advantages of an LMS
The use of an LMS brings many advantages. Besides the fact that an LMS is suitable for learning from home (or other places), there are many other advantages. Our proprietary learning platform, Philpaper, supports numerous benefits, including:
Learning on any device, whether it’s a tablet, phone, desktop or laptop.
The style of the LMS can be customized in a snap, making it easy to set up your organization’s style on the LMS.
Students can be tested on knowledge and competence with exams, after which the student receives a certificate.
Progress is clearly displayed using reports and can be viewed by management for example.
Receiving notifications when, for example, a new course is available or when a course has been successfully completed.
Developments of the learning management system
In recent years, various learning management system providers have been focusing more on extending functionality, in order to respond to a better learning experience & new trends. As an example, the gamification trend invites learners to a challenging learning experience by adding game elements.
We expect these trends to continue to develop & therefore we work hard every day to add new functionalities to our own learning management system!
