LCMS development essentials

Itransition's consultants offer their expertise to help you address and mitigate the challenges of LCMS development, ensuring smooth software design and adoption for your end-users.

Custom vs platform-based

We help you define an LCMS model matching your eLearning needs. Custom LCMSs ensure full product ownership, personalized feature sets, and bespoke security measures, while platform-based LCMSs can be deployed faster and with lower upfront costs.

Platform selection

If you opt for a platform-based system, we’ll select a suitable one. Drupal might be a good choice if you need solid multi-language content support, while WordPress and Microsoft SharePoint offer excellent usability and native integration with Microsoft 365 respectively.

Regulatory compliance

Itransition can design your LCMS or any other eLearning software solution in strict compliance with all major reference models, quality standards, and legal requirements of the education industry, including SCORM, xAPI, AICC, WCAG, LTI, and GDPR.

LMS vs LCMS

Despite some similarities, LMS and LCMS are distinct EdTech solutions focusing on different aspects of online education. However, these tools work together well and their integration is a staple of many eLearning ecosystems.

Learning management systems (LMS)

Learning content management systems (LCMS)

Main focus

An LMS is mostly for student management as it focuses on providing learners with customized educational services, tracking their activity, and assessing their achievements.

An LCMS primarily promotes content management through a set of built-in authoring tools and databases designed to easily assemble, edit, and archive training materials.

User base

The user base of an LMS generally encompasses several groups of eLearning professionals (such as educators, administrators, or content creators) as well as students and corporate learners.

The intended users of an LCMS are mostly eLearning content creators searching for a user-friendly software solution to streamline the design and storage of online didactic resources.

Core capabilities

LMSs can cover many aspects of eLearning but their key features relate to student experience and didactic service management, including scheduling, proctoring, and educational analytics.

LCMSs are equipped with advanced content-related features along with basic learning management capabilities that can be eventually enhanced through software integrations.

Recommended for
