Abstract

Learning Management System (LMS) is the term used to describe a server-based system that is designed to manage learning content and learner interactions. The LMS enables the learning content to be available online, allowing students to view and interact with learning materials through a web browser on essentially any computer operating system. The production of learning content for computer based training is demanding and expensive. It is therefore, a necessity of re-use e-learning material as many times as possible. Unfortunately, existing electronic courses are seldom reused, as there is usually and always a need to change some part for a new course to be held. To encourage reuse, the approach widely proposed is use small modular learning objects that can be assembled into new courses. © Medwell Journals, 2009.
