Learning Content Management System (LCMS) is a learning tool found by the military. Nichani (2001) states that “A LCMS combines the administrative and management dimensions of a traditional LMS with the content creation and personalized assembly dimensions of a CMS.” LCMS, if used properly, is a great tool to deliver and train people for specific skills within an organization. The system allows the administrator to piece together different types of learning regime for people who perform different skills. This is all possible because LMCS have building blocks called Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs). “In a LCMS, you would have libraries of RLOs that can be used either independently, or as a part of larger instruction sets.”
Thourn, I value my time as most people do, which makes LCMS an ideal solution to training. Breaking the skills into chunks that can be accessed on a "need" basis helps effectively manage time. I have been a victim of sitting in a seminar and only needing one part, but being forced to sit through the rest because it's rude to walk out early.
Learning Content Management Systems
The different purposes of the systems can help provide the necessary factors for success. It is first important to understand the functions and purposes of such systems. The focus of this blog entry is to provide a detailed explanation of a LCMS (Learning Content Management System) and its purpose.
Sarah, it can be difficult to keep up with all of the changes technology goes through. LCMS carry a heavy load...deliver the same information to learners without being "cookie-cutterish". It does allow that information to be retrieved and manipulated for the individual learner. It's enough to make your head spin.
