Market Definition/Description
CLSs continue to expand the functionality and robustness of their components. The five core components that a CLS should provide are:
- LMS — supports the administration and management of learning programs, such as assessment, records management, provisioning of learning, management of training resources and reporting.
- LCMS and content authoring tools — enable the creation, storage, delivery and reuse of learning content.
- Virtual classrooms and multimodal e-learning delivery — underpin various approaches to learning, including formal (for example, instructor-led), structured social, informal and blended styles.
- Social learning — supports the collaborative learning activities of individuals and teams, as well as the creation and interaction of communities of learners.
- Professional services — help create custom content, develop learning strategies and support implementation.
