What's the Difference Between an LMS and an LCMS?
An LCMS typically provides a multi-user environment where administrators, instructors, and content managers can create, store, reuse, and manage learning objects from a central object repository.

A learning object can be thought of as a small, self-contained re-useable unit of content that can be used to support learning. Some examples of learning objects include Microsoft®Word or PowerPoint files, PDF files, video, and audio.

An LCMS enables an organization to share learning objects across the enterprise, which saves money, promotes consistent learning, and helps to amortize the cost of eLearning.
