Learning Systems

I recently ran across the an article on two types of learning systems: LMS and LCMS: What's the Difference?

If you’re confused about the differences between a learning management system (LMS) and a learning content management system (LCMS), you’re not alone. Not only are the names similar, some suppliers are positioning LCMSs as the new wave of LMSs. In fact, an LMS and an LCMS are complementary but very different systems that serve different masters and address unique business challenges.

The article is aimed at corporate training rather than education, but I think many of the ideas and systems mentioned in the article can be used in the K-12 space as well.
