Emerging Trends in Learning Management Systems
The ever emerging technology world is leaving no sphere of our
lives untouched. Technology has also made its foray into the
learning space and has completely redefined the way learning is
imparted. From structured and formal environment the learning
space has evolved into a virtual, mobile enabled, informal and
social activity based world. These changes in the learning space

documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning
courses or training programs. There is a shift in the way learning
is delivered- from e-learning to blended learnings, formal
learning to social learning, desktop to mobile learnings,
enhanced reporting and analytics, user friendly and configurable
user interface and dashboards, from supporting employees to
supporting extended enterprises- we have seen it all. This paper
