What Is Learning Management System (LMS)? and It's Technical Aspects

A learning management system (LMS) is a software framework for managing , monitoring, recording , reporting, automating and delivering education courses, training programs, or learning and development programs. The idea of learning management system originated directly from e-learning. Although the first LMS appeared in the higher education sector, the majority of the LMSs today focus on the corporate market. Learning Management Systems make up the largest segment of the learning system market. The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s.

Learning management systems were designed to identify training and learning gaps, utilizing analytical data and reporting. LMSs are focused on online learning delivery but support a range of uses, acting as a platform for online content, including courses, both asynchronous based and synchronous based.

An LMS may offer classroom management for instructor-led training or a flipped classroom, used in higher education, but not in the corporate space. Modern LMSs include intelligent algorithms to make automated recommendations for courses based on a user's skill profile as well as extract meta-data from learning materials in order to make such recommendations even more accurate.

An LMS provides and maintains all content forms including video, course, and documentation. In the school and higher education sectors, an LMS may have a range of functionality similar to corporate but with features such as rubrics, guided learning by teacher and instructor, a discussion forum, and also the use of a syllabus. A syllabus is rarely a feature in the corporate LMS, although courses may start with heading-level index to give learners an overview of topics covered.

Most modern LMSs are web-based. There are a variety of integration strategies for embedding content into LMSs, including AICC, xAPI (also called 'Tin Can'), SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)[16] and LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability). LMSs were originally designed to be locally hosted on-premise, where the organization purchases a license to a version of the software, and installs it on their own servers and network. Many LMSs are now offered as SaaS (software as a service), with hosting provided by the vendors.

Articulate Storyline: Tabs interaction to chunk the content

Tabs interactions are one of the most common interactions in e-learning. They’re super flexible and come in all shapes, sizes, and designs.

For e-learning designers, tabs make it easy to break down and group related content into smaller, more meaningful sections. Using tabs to reveal each section helps learners remain focused in the moment without jumping out to new slides or scenes.

And for course designers new to e-learning or just getting started with Articulate Storyline 360, tabs interactions are a fantastic way to learn Storyline’s core building blocks: slides, states, layers, and triggers.

There are two types of tabs

Basic Tabs

If you’re just getting started with Storyline, try to focus on the alignment and positioning of slide objects before adding the interactivity with triggers and layers. Work with the shape tools, formatting options, and alignment tools. Don’t worry about making your tabs look good. Instead, focus on Storyline’s workflow of adding states, layers, and triggers.

Advanced Tabs

For those of you with Storyline experience, try working with conditions to make something happen after a specified number of tabs were clicked. Can you reveal a hidden or disabled button after all tabs are visited? Can you make something happen when the timeline of a slide layer reaches a cue point or the end? What can you do with the layer properties options to affect how the tabs interaction functions?

Articulate Storyline: Navigate back to content screen upon selecting incorrect answer in final quiz

Articulate Storyline in recent times has evolved as one of the most sought-after authoring tools. It provides the ease of creating engaging rapid eLearning without any programming knowledge.

Recently, we received a requirement where the client wanted us to create compliance eLearning with Review Feedback option for assessment remediation. This means whenever #learners answer a question incorrectly, they should be redirected back to the topic/remediation slide for a quick review before attempting the question again.

In this way, the learners are provided with multiple attempts till they get the right answer. This review feedback approach in eLearning remediates the learners’ misunderstanding and provides a chance to reflect on why they have failed.

Using Storyline’s variables, you can present dynamic content based on your learner’s activity and other defined conditions. Variables can store learner input or quiz results and use the information to present dynamic content based on specific criteria.

For more information, please visit: Custom eLearning

Articulate Storyline: Interactive flashcards game to make your content gamified

Use simple games like Flashcards to create an eLearning course that promotes learner's retention.

Flashcards are simple, click-and-reveal interactions that lets learners explore virtually any type of content in a freeform way by clicking interactive cards on the slide. You can use flashcard interactions to:
Chunk related information in tabs interactions
Launch courses using creative menu navigation
Display interactive audio notes or soundboards
Summarize instructional design tips
Present a list of dos and don’ts

Articulate Storyline: Gamify your content using Triggers and Motion path feature

Practice Your E-Learning Animation Skills using Rube Goldberg Machines. In Storyline 360 and Storyline 3, you can trigger actions to occur when two objects intersect or collide.

For example, you might show a layer when a character moves along a motion path and intersects with a doorway. Just set your trigger to occur when the object intersects.

What Is A Rube Goldberg Machine?
Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist who drew complicated machines and contraptions built from ordinary objects that completed simple tasks. Want an example? Here’s how you can light a bulb with a Rube Goldberg machine:

Articulate Storyline: Zoom-in interaction for real-time scenario based learning

Zoom-in interaction is one of the best customized elearning interactions in Articulate Storyline 360. This type of interaction can be majorly used for learning and training purpose where learner can be immersed with real time interactions so that to retain the knowledge for a longer period. Instead of a simple text and image presentation you can give learner zoom-in interaction option to view the image in detail especially when the learner is viewing the course in mobile.

Interactive screenshots are a great way to orient learners with a big-picture view of an application’s interface, then let them drill down into the details for a particular menu or panel.
