3. What is LMS?
• A Learning Management System (LMS) is a
software application for the administration,
documentation, tracking, reporting and

4. Why we use this?
• Improved training costs
• Decreased material costs
• Increased productivity
• Standardization
• Real-time access
• Personalized learning
• Knowledge management

5. E-learning for Higher Educations
• Most of the Universities and open universities
also offer the distance education.
• Instead of distance education they can give
distance e-learning education.
– They can upload learning content. (e.g. Video,
lecture note etc.)
– They can track the students progress.
– Students can interacts with the faculty through
the e-learning systems.

8. E-Learning and Libraries
• Create and integrate library learning objects. (eg
tutorials for users)

(e.g. EBSCO, JStore)
• Provide access to virtual reference services.
• The role of the Library in the digital rights
management and preservation of e-learning asset
repository is crucial.

13. Barriers of LMS
• Personal Barriers
• Technological Barriers
• Content Suitability Barrier
• Poorly Constructed Assessment
• Instructional Barriers
12/21/2014 Kaustav Saha & Dr. M. Krishnamurthy
14. Conclusion
• There are still some problem to implement e-
learning.
• The present study focuses only on open
source e-LMS.
• It was observed that Moodle evolved as the
most adaptable e-LMS in comparison to the
other e-LMS.
• Though all e-LMS have many common
features, but there are variations.

Hinweis der Redaktion
Improved training costs - Producing learning content is time consuming. You also have savings through decreased travel, reduced material, and hopefully improved (and more efficient) performance.
.
Increased productivity - Because elearning is not bound by geography or time, you can control training’s impact on production by training people during down time.
Standardization - Elearning allows you to create a standardized process and consistency in the delivery of content. It also compresses delivery time.
Real-time access - course can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
Improved retention - The combination of multimedia and instructional design can produce a very rich learning experience that is repeatable. Throw in some good practice activities with feedback and you have a learning environment that’s going to help your learners retain the course content which will produce results.
.
Knowledge management - If you incorporate some of the tools that allow collaboration and conversation, you can capture organizational knowledge that is available for future learners.
Encourage sharing - The foundation of a learning community is built on sharing what you know with others. This is where incorporating a forum or wiki really adds value to your elearning.
