LMS stands for Learning Management System in case anyone else didn’t know.

And it’s a misnomer as far as I can tell, because it’s a system for managing the teaching, or the administration maybe, but is not actually used by the learners.




IDK, in our local universities Moodle-based systems are very much used by the learners as that's the primary way of receiving and looking up all learning material other the lectures themselves (and now with covid, also the recordings of remote lectures), the organizational information e.g. schedule changes and other comunication, feedback, and of receiving and submitting assignments and, in some cases, tests; it's essentially the primary "portal" used by students every day.


Thanks for explaining, I stand corrected!


Not a misnomer. Features of an LMS are used by the learners
