According to a study by the University of West Florida, 20 percent of learning management system users are new students. So, what can students and employees who have never experienced an LMS expect?

As an online student, you can expect certain characteristics from a learning management system–though these may vary slightly depending on the course. Standard classroom textbooks and materials are typically combined with online lectures, assignments, and supplementary course materials.

Some online training courses also include formal lectures, which may be text-based or consist of a combination of text, graphics, sound and video. Still other learning management systems divide the course content into smaller parts, or utilize discussion forums and other types of activities instead of lectures.
