Learning content management systems
Manage and deliver your learning content
Itransition's custom learning content management systems provide eLearning professionals and corporate trainers with a full array of user-friendly tools to create, upload, and share didactic resources. These tools follow the standard LCMS architecture enabling both content management and delivery:
Learning content management
The content management side of an LCMS acts as a front-end user interface, allowing you to add, remove, and edit eLearning materials with pre-built templates, drag and drop tools, and other user-friendly features.
Learning content delivery
The content delivery side of an LCMS is the back-end portion of the system actually responsible for compiling your content and making it available to end-users on your eLearning platform or website.
LCMS: core features
The ensemble of features implemented in a learning CMS can vary greatly according to your business goals and educational requirements. Here's a list of functionalities recommended by Itransition’s experts to set up an efficient and comprehensive system infrastructure.
