What does IMS say that "IMS" stands for?
"A The original name of this initiative was the Instructional Management Systems (IMS) project. We found, however, that the term instructional management systems
raised more questions than it answered. We have shortened our name to just IMS. In case you are still wondering, an instructional management system is sometimes known as a course management system or a learning server,
or a CBT system or even an integrated learning system. IMS is concerned with standards for learning servers, learning content as
well as the enterprise integration of these capabilities. So please just call us IMS!"See the IMS web site
