Functions within a LMS:

• Ensure the right target:
                 Audience receives the required training
• Prevent ‘ blanket learning’:
                 Ensure learning is NOT sent to those who do not need it
• One system, one version of the truth:
                 By using one overarching system, all employees know where to go toe for learning and they,
                 as well as their leads and HR do not have to combine information stored in several systems to get insight.
• Personalized learning:
                 Learning can be tailored to a single individual, based on the needs (i.e. development for future role).
• Enable on line leaning:
                 E-learning helps your employees to take training at any convenient time for them,
                 think of 24/7 shifts or variation in workload.
• Control learning content:
                 Over time learning content will change.
                 Therefor you want to be able to see when a new version became active and who has approved this version.
• Reporting functionality:
                 Every LMS can deliver reports that help you to monitor progress of all learning that is sent, versus actually taken.
                 The reporting also enables you to measure learning results and compare them to the required business outcomes.

In general there are 3 different types of LMS:

• Designed for class room training
• Designed for online learning
• Designed for blended learning (both class room and online)
