INTRODUCTION


E-LEARNING  MANAGEMENT  SYSTEM
At present, e-learning platforms are organized into three fundamental macro components:
v  Learning Management System (LMS)
v Learning Content Management System (LCMS)
v Set of Tools for distributing training contents and for providing interaction.
The LMS integrates all the aspects for managing online teaching activities. The LCMS offers services that allow to their creation, importation and exportation.   The set of tools represents all the services that manage teaching processes and interactions among users. A LCMS includes all the functions enabling creation, description, importation or exportation of content as well as their re-use and sharing. Contents are generally organized into independent containers, called learning objects, able to satisfy one or more didactic goals.



LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A learning management system (LMS) is a software application or Web-based technology used to plan, implement and assess a specific learning process.
        Typically a LMS provides an instructor with a way to create and deliver content, monitor student participation and assess student performance. A LMS may also provide students with the ability to use interactive features such as threaded discussion, video conferencing and discussion forums. The Advanced Distance Learning group, sponsored by the United States Department of Defense, has created a set of specifications called Shareable Content Object Reference Model(SCORM) to encourage the standardization of LMS.

The learning management system (LMS) embraces all the services for managing online teaching activities. A LMS must offers services able to evaluate and report the acquired skills storing the training path followed by them. A LMS should give the teacher the possibility of verifying the right formulation of the various lessons and suggesting changes in the learning path. Therefore, the functionalities of a LMS integrated within a distance learning platform can be so synthesized:
Ø Student management
Ø Course management
Ø Student skill assessment
Ø Student activity monitoring and tracking
Ø Activity reporting


STUDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A student management system integrated within a LMS must manage a database containing standardized description of student data so as to better identify the user and his characteristics. This type of description is generally based on dialects of the XML (Extensible Markup Language), an element that guarantees data portability. An LMS must implement a functionality that adds a significant value to the distance learning process. This functionality is that enabling the student to consult, at anytime, results he has reached and, consequently, to monitor his/her preparation level.



COURSE MANAGEMENT
As or course management, an LMS can generally manage self-placed, asynchronous instructor-led and synchronous instructor-led course. Self-placed courses are usually asynchronous, and give much freedom to the student who accesses a course index. The LMS manages these courses starting from their creation. Asynchronous courses are run by an instructor, but they do not foresee interactive moments between students and instructor. Their design foresees delivery of strongly multi-media oriented contents. Synchronous courses generally make use of collaborative learning, that is of all the tools that allow to create interactions in real time between students and instructor.
