A Learning Management System has many components of a traditional school. You need gradebooks, a library, and assessments. A LMS has these components in an organized online environment.
Just like a traditional school, these components are managed by different people. Administrators will control some features such as course administration and the LOR. Teachers will have control of other features such as gradebooks, course assessments and possibly content.
One interesting feature is the reporting and analytics. In traditional schooling data is often managed by teachers and reported to administrators. In a LMS data can be managed and interpreted and reported to the teacher. Also, communication could be done synchronously or asynchronously. Having communication asynchronously could possibly frustrated learners while they wait for responses, so this is something the teacher needs to take in consideration. It is nice that content can be imputed and exported depending on the learners' needs. In addition, having a digital library is helpful for the online learner.
