The value of – and the need for – systems interoperability |
 London
(UK), March 2011 - (by Bob Little) From the start of the eLearning
industry (which some date to the mainframe, green screen days of the 1960s

producers fell, roughly, into two categories: those that produced what
came to be called authoring tools (the software needed to develop
eLearning content) and those that produced learning management systems
(LMS) (the systems that monitored who accessed which bits of eLearning,
how long they spent on them and their test scores having completed the
learning materials).
