What kinds of materials and references can the courses utilize?
A wide variety. First, an LMS course can have as many content sections as you wish. The content sections are the "meat" of the class, flowing in a natural sequence from section to section, much like the lecture series in a college class. These may be from material you created elsewhere (like a PowerPoint presentation or an HTML page), or courseware purchased from a third party, or Learning Screens created right inside the LMS.
| The LMS student menus make both formats instantly available to each student. The course guide may have any number of chapters which would likely be comprised of reference materials and can be thought of as the textbook in a college class.
An LMS should also include a unique, searchable document library for each course where you can store images, blueprints, documents, forms or whatever else you need to make available to your learners. You can activate the library for any class or for all classes, or you may leave it in inactive status altogether.

Next, a course guide for each class may be built into the course in both a word-processed and/or an HTML (web) version. The course guide and content is normally developed by the instructor or training administrator and may include formatted text, tables, graphics and hyperlinks to external web pages.
