Wk1 Project: LMO Overview

Education has transformed into a complex umbrella of learning in the 21st century. Instead of an art, it has become a science. A science that is changing based on how technology is evolving and how we as learners are absorbing information. Exports and more exports have broken the learning concept into a learning platform, which incorporates Course Management (CMS), Learning Management System (LMS), and Learning Content Management System (LCMS).

As we continue to evolve alongside technology, other components have created educators and trainers to focus on a particular concept based on its client/student. In addition to online services being used as a vehicle for delivering instruction in a virtual world, managing the subject content is what is important. CMS shows how courses can be broken down and be delivered by subject. LMS provides a different structure for corporations to be exposed to information based on needs. LCMS introduces specific skill sets that are to be used for specific functions (Morgan, 2003).

All three concepts on this platform provide a certain level of expertise for the student to leave with.  But different concepts provide broad and unique instruction with the expectation that a student is an expert on one or more particular skills. With the availability of information continuing to grow alongside technology, we need to be more concern on how readily available technology is to a client/student.
