Is QMIND an LMS? |
Top |
| |
No, it is not an LMS (Learning Management
System). QMIND is Design Collaboration Platform (DCP),
laser-focused on optimizing team-based multimedia and
e-learning content development. QMIND manages the design
process from concept through publishing. QMIND does not
provide course delivery capabilities. Therefore QMIND
ends where an LMS begins. |

Is QMIND an LCMS? |
Top |
| |
Not exactly. However, QMIND does share
many features of a typical LCMS (Learning Content Management
System) and is therefore often included into the LCMS
product category. QMIND is Design Collaboration Platform
(DCP), laser-focused on optimizing team-based multimedia
and e-learning content development. QMIND manages the
design process from concept through publishing. QMIND
does not provide course delivery capabilities. An LCMS,
on the other hand, typically bundles content authoring
with knowledge management, course management, performance
management, and enterprise content management…
all together. Most LCMS tend to be light on the content
development capabilities, where QMIND shines, but more
sophisticated with learning object management capabilities
after the content has been developed. |
