In today’s deeply interconnected, seemingly permanently online world, there are so many different terms to discover and learn about, not to mention those dratted initialisms and acronyms that might have you constantly rushing to Google to look up what they are.

With all that in mind, if you have come across the term “Learning Management System”, or LMS, you might still be trying to grasp what it actually is. So, here at myAko, allow us to be your guest…

An essential tool for taking the stress out of managing eLearning

The short answer to the question of “what is a Learning Management System?” is that it is a software tool of one kind or another – either web-based, or in the form of a separate software application – that allows for creating, delivering, and reporting on training courses.

LMS platforms are closely linked to eLearning, which is a form of learning or instruction that takes place via digital or electronic means (the obvious “means” in today’s world being, of course, the Internet).

Any individual or organisation that needs to deliver training may have reason to consider investing in an LMS platform. The likes of businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions – the latter including both more traditional offline, and less traditional online institutions – frequently use these systems.

So, what features can you expect in a leading Learning Management System?

Beyond the above fundamentals, Learning Management Systems vary hugely in their operations and feature sets. The features of our own LMS, for instance, encompass the likes of compliance training, real-time reporting, events management, and even a mobile app.

And in the case of our own LMS, it’s all accessible from an easy-to-use dashboard. In fact, there are a number of dashboards that users of the myAko LMS can take advantage of, including learner dashboards, team dashboards, and organisation dashboards.

Reporting is another key functionality of the leading LMS solutions. It’s why we have incorporated a comprehensive reporting suite into our own platform, with all manner of real-time activity reports available to help an organisation or instructor to keep an eye on the activity of all their learners.

Here at myAko, we are proud to be able to offer a Learning Management System that is well-suited to the needs of a wide range of organisations, and that represents great quality at a great price.
