What are these programs called anyway?
This is a list of the various terms I have heard and seen used to describe
programs such as Blackboard, WebCt, and Prometheus.
- learning management system
- courseware
Terms that I have heard or seen are not correct (that is, someone has stated
this term does not mean such programs)
- learner management system (Jane Kircher, dot.edu--means a system that tracks
student's work, grades, attendance, etc.)
- courseware (in searching literature for this project, saw this in reference
to K-12 programs for a specific subject, such as Algebra)
Other terms I've heard that may or may not apply
- learning content management system (email, Kathy Konicek, UW Madison)
