History of Learning Management System (LMS)

HISTORY OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning courses or training programs. Learning management systems range from training and education record systems, to software for distributing blended college courses online. Colleges and universities use LMS software to deliver online courses and augment on-campus courses. Corporate trainers use learning management system to deliver online training, automate record keeping and facilitate employee registration.

The live telecasts ran from 13 to 15 hours each week, making up about 38% of the program schedule. Most Gordon Pask and Robin McKinnon-Wood developed 'SAKI', the first adaptive teaching system to go into commercial production. SAKI taught keyboard skills and it optimized the rate by which a trainee keyboard operator learned by making the difficulty level of the tasks contingent on the learner's performance. As the learner's performance improved the rate of teaching increased and instructional support was delayed. courses aired at hight students who worked during so that the day could watch them. By the mid-1960s, with about one-third of the station's programming devoted to education, more than 100,000 semester hours had been taught on KUHT. 1960 1956–1958 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) system. The PLATO system featured multiple roles, including students who could study assigned lessons and communicate with teachers through on-line instructors, who could examine student progress data, as well as communicate and take lessons themselves, and authors, who could do all of the above, Harvey White, a physics professor at U.C. Berkeley, produced 163 high school physics lessons at Pittsburgh's PBS station WQED that were broadcast into public schools in the area. Each 30 minute lesson was also filmed and subsequently distributed to dozens of educational/public television stations. notes, plus create new lessons. 1967 1969 1970 1974 Patrick Suppes, professor at Stanford University, developed computer-based courses in Logic and Set Theory that were offered to Stanford undergraduates from 1972 to 1992 Murray Turoff founded the Computerized Conferencing and Communications Center The Division of Educational Research Services was formed at the University of Alberta, and this unit immediately acquired an electronic optical examination scoring machine, and an IBM magnetic tape typewriter. It shared an IBM 360/67 computer with the rest of the university, and used it mostly for statistical analysis. The US Department of Defense commissions ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) was one of the I's first operational at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and over the next 15 years conducts an immense amount of research on world's packet switching networks, the first network to implement TCP/IP, and the progenitor of Computer-mediated communication (CMC) with Starr Roxanne Hiltz. what was to become the global Internet. 1985 1981 1980 1979 In 1985, the Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences, at School of Management and Strategic Studies at the Successmaker is a K-12 learning management system with an emphasis on reading, spelling and numeracy.

The courses were provided through EKKO, NKI's self-developed Learning Management System(LMS). 1991 Johndan Johnson-Eilola describes a specific computer-supported collaboration space: The Smart Board, which was introduced in 1991. Users have the opportunity to engage with-inhabit-the technology by direct manipulation. Rory 1996 ONES 2000 Glenn Jones, Chairman, and Bernard Luskin, founding chancellor of Jones International University launch Jones International University which becomes the first accredited fully web based university. In fall 2000 the open source LMS OLAT developed at University of Zurich won the MeDiDa-Prix for its paedagogical concept. It was optimized to support a blended learning concept.
