There is often a misnomer that being a learning system must mean only an LMS. The reality is quite different. The term Learning Systems is an umbrella term for numerous different types of systems that offer online learning/training, whether for employees, customers/partners/distributors/B2B or direct B2C, a combination of the two, associations, and so forth.
