Learning Content Management System (LCMS)
A web-based administration program that facilitates the creation,
storage and delivery of unique learning objects, as well the
management of students, rosters, and assessments. Hey,
everybody finally figured out what LMS' are for so we had
to come up with something else complicated for the marketplace.
LMS
See Learning Management System
Learning Management System
A program that manages the administration of training. Typically
includes functionality for course catalogs, launching courses,
registering students, tracking student progress and assessments.
Learning Objective
The clear and measurable statement of the behavior that must
be observed after training is concluded in order to consider
the training a success. According to Robert Mager's work,
a learning objective contains a condition statement, a performance
statement, and a criterion statement.
Learning Service Provider (LSP)
A third party company that hosts e-learning programs/content
on it's own servers. Clients pay to access, or to "lease",
these programs.
Learning Style
An individual's unique approach to learning based on strengths,
weaknesses, and preferences. Though experts do not agree how
to categorize learning styles, an example of a categorization
system is one that separates learners into auditory learners,
visual learners, and kinesthetic learners. Though spoken
as gospel, where's the current research that this isn't all
bunk?
Lesson
A unit of learning concerned with a specific skill. This term
is sometimes interchanged with the terms section or module.
Local Area Network
A network of computers in a confined area, such as a room
or a building. A LAN accessed with internet technologies can
be considered an intranet. Typically LAN's operate at what
is considered to be a high bandwidth speed.
Localization
The process in which a program is converted for delivery in
a different country. Unlike "translation" which
connotes a simple re-writing of words, localization includes
re-writing for cultural and social differences as well. Can
we say McTraining?
Log-in
Procedure performed by a user to declare that a specific system
or application is going to be used. Log-in information is
used by the computer to mark and track information specific
to the user. It can also be used to declare to other users
that an individual is presently active on a network.
Low-bandwidth
A low-bandwidth connection, like a telephone line, will allow
transmission rates in the range of kilobits per second and
restrict the use of data intensive information like video
and photo quality graphics. If you've got a low bandwidth
connection, don't even try to do audio and video -- the marketing
hype outpaces the R&D reality for now.
LRN
Microsoft's commercial implementation of e-learning standards
to identify, catalog, launch, and track course objects. Based
on the IMS standards. Even though Microsoft typically dominates
anything they get involved in, they're currently asleep behind
the wheel of this one. SCORM is where it's at.
LSP
