Learning Management Systems

• software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content – like an CorpTraining-ERP

Virtual Learning Environments

• focused on the development, management and publishing of the content that will typically be delivered via an LMS

• features in these systems include wikis, blogs, RSS and 3D virtual learning spaces

They curate, so why not curate your own learning?

…E-learning as a high street

Personal Learning Environments
