Ryann K. Ellis, editor of Learning Circuits, writes: "E-learning promises to deliver just-in-time learning. A learner gains access to a data repository, answers a few questions, and, voila, the system delivers the precise piece of information when and how they need it. Unfortunately, most organizations have yet to experience such a smooth information exchange. Enter the learning content management system. An LCMS provides authoring, sequencing, and aggregation tools that structure content to facilitate the learning process. The IDC whitepaper, "Learning Content Management Systems: Comparative Analysis of Emerging Technologies," identifies the components of an LCMS as an authoring application, a data repository, a delivery interface, and administration tools. The authoring tools provide templates and storyboarding capabilities, and may be used to convert existing content. The data repository uses meta data to store and manage individual learning objects. The delivery interface dynamically serves content that can be modified to reflect a certain look or feel, such as organizational branding. The administrative applications manage learner profiles, course catalogues, and so forth. In addition, some LCMSs offer collaboration tools, including chat, integrated email, and threaded discussion groups." Read more here
