A content management system (CMS) is the set of riles that are used to organize and manage workflow in when many people are contributing to the document. There are six categories of CMS. A few of these are Enterprise (ECMS), which is deals with organizing unstructured information; Web (WCM), which works to simplify the output of web based content; Document (DCM), used to store electronic documents or scanned images of paper documents; and Component that uses subcategories to allow for easier retrieval (CMS, 2010).
Learning management systems (LMS) are software applications that aid in the bookkeeping of online courses. These programs track usage, keep course calendars, allow for student messaging and notifications, contain assessments, display and calculate grades as well as manage all users (LMS, 2010).
Learning content management systems (LCMS) allow the user to reuse and deliver digital content to its learners. LCMSs manage the editing, storing and delivering of online learning (LMS, 2010).
Personal learning environments (PLE) help individuals take control of their own learning. They provide help with setting learning goals, managing learning and communicating with others while learning (History, 2010).

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI think that you have covered what each of the pneumonic devices mean quite well. It think that as we continue through this course it will continue to be a challenge to keep them all straight. Out of all of them I think that I like the idea of personal learning environments the best because I like to have more control over what I learn. I have an iGoogle that sends me RSS feed from quite a few sources of learning that interest me. I feel that in my current situation that works well for me. My iGoogle connects to my Facebook as well as to my school, my blog, photos, web site, podcasts in Spanish and the sciences, local news and global news sources. I feel that personal learning environment in many ways meets my needs for new knowledge in a way that is readily accessible and convenient.
