There are a wide variety of sophisticated learning management systems, such as Blackboard, Saba Centra, Elluminate, and Desire2Learn. Please see the Technology module for more information on these systems. While many of these systems are costly, they can also provide excellent support with online content development (and other course management features such as student registration and tracking).
Features vary between systems but basically these systems assist organizations to create, organize and reuse online content. Using these learning management systems, organizations can develop new courses from existing content (Word, PowerPoint, pictures, graphics, Podcasts, etc.). They also have templates and other features that help with new content development. These systems also allow organizations to adapt and update existing courses and reuse the online content as often as desired.
