You no longer have to go to university or the library to gain new knowledge. A huge amount of materials can be found on the Internet. A platform or Distance Learning System (DLS) is a program that allows you to collect the necessary knowledge in one place, provide it to users at a distance and monitor that the information has reached its destination. In the system you can create and store training courses, manage training and track its effectiveness. People can be physically located in different places, but in an LDS they will be united in one virtual classroom.
Distance learning platforms are used to develop employees in a company, for online schools and higher education programs. The main purpose of the platform is to transfer knowledge. But training can also have additional objectives. For example, for online schools – to strengthen marketing and sales, for higher education – to control the progress and conduct classes in real time, for corporate training – to quickly introduce trainees into their positions and maintain the expertise of current employees. The platform should have functionality that helps implement both basic and additional goals.
