Business History
What is LMS?
LMS stands for Learning Management System, which is a system necessary for conducting e-learning. It is used for the distribution of learning materials, management of group training, and tracking the history of learners' grades and progress.
It has features such as login functionality, course creation, material registration, and enrollment management.
In Japan, its adoption in companies began around 2000, and after 2020, due to the online demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, its implementation accelerated not only in companies but also in universities.
In recent years, there has been an increase in systems that can operate as Learning Experience Platforms (LXP), which provide tailored learning experiences for each employee and integrate with employee performance management, rather than just managing enrollments.
When selecting an LMS, key points include "purpose and goals," "on-premises or cloud," "simple functionality (focused on material distribution and history management) or high functionality (covering talent development and organizational development)," and "how to integrate with HR systems."
