While LMS and CMS are similar the two are not the same.
A CMS (Content Management System) is designed to provide support for the course. It allows the teacher to create a website,
where documents can be uploaded in popular formats such as word, power
point, etc. without having to change them to HTML. This requires less skills on the behalf of the educator. However, there are some drawbacks. CMS is inefficient in testing and tracking. The CMS cannot identify students taking tests nor save the progress.
A LMS (Learning Management System) plans, delivers and manages all the learning needs of
an organization. An LMS can also be used to record and check the progress of the learner. In addition, it can generate reports of data from the course.
The one to choose is dependent upon the needs of the organization.
