A learning management system is a software that educational institutions buy in order to manage diverse aspects of online education. A learning portal is just another face of the same LMS; it is the customized end result that students use in their learning. There may be a fine line between a leaning management system and a learning portal, but it exists nonetheless.
An LMS can help educational institutions achieve their academic plans, cut costs, and even improve profit. But when it comes to proving that including an LMS in the educational strategy — or adopting a new one — is a worthy investment, things tend to get down a slippery slope. Why is it so hard to prove the ROI of an LMS? Read on to find out.
There are LMS vendors that describe their products as being user friendly, sometimes that is nowhere near the truth.

There should be some standards that each vendor should follow before labeling their LMS user friendly.
Do you prefer your students to learn just because they have to, in order to get a grade, or would you like them to learn because they actually enjoy it?

So what are these features that any LMS should have?

And while there are students and teachers who already know how LMSs works, there are still a handful of people new to the digital world that need some time getting used to using such a platform.
