| LCMS Concept and Application Design |
LCSM is an application that provides a more fine tuned way to educate a learner. Instead of a learner going through a series of courses to obtain an overall experience in a particular subject or area of knowledge, they are focusing on the specific task. A high school graduate is looking for an opportunity to be productive in society by getting a well paying job (Nichani, M. 2001). This person could go to college and earn a college degree (Aeronautical Engineering by participating in courses that would broaden his learning experience and how he/she analyzes ideas or concepts. This student would fall into participating in the CMS concept of learning as a tool. If you take the same student and he/she decides on an alternate course and chooses a technical program such as learning how to fly a plane and become a pilot, then LMS would be more suited. Courses would be tailored and only focus on every aspect of flying a plane by providing a tack to follow.
Lastly, if the same student decides to be involved in aeronautics but on a more specific area such as communications, then the LCMS concept would be more suited. The student would receive instruction that would allow him to be an expert on one task.
From a large cooperation LCMS is used to provide a learning system that is the same at all its locations - regional or global, that would focus on specific job functions. This concept provides business assurances that every position held by any employee to be performed using the same procedure and methodology. School districts also use the same system. School districts with multiple educational buildings in large urban areas provide orientation and in-service training for teachers so they would follow the same concept that would push the district forward together in providing an ideal learning environment for its students.
LCMS as an application provides real-time, on-demand and custom delivery of educational content using multiple formats (Perry, B. 2009) that would allow students to access learning modules. These learning modules are managed through a LCMS application that manages the flow of learning and the automation of keeping data current and accurate.

Joseph,
You did a great job clearly explaining the difference between CMS and LCMS and how they also connect to one another.
I'm personally excited that we have such a system as LCMS. Being a training administrator, I always feel we can never have enough training. When corporations promote and offer training for their employees, they are establishing a specific culture they would like to have demonstrated within their company. That, I think, is to be commended and this tool will help them achieve this.
Great job Joseph!
I appreciate how you connected the definitions of CMS, LMS, and LCMS with the examples of the Aeronautical Engineering student's venture in gaining a degree. You did a great job of clarifying how they all connect.
I agree with Karen that LCMS are great tools to aid in training for corporations and educational institutions.
