Course Management System
Course management is the practice of using a computer software - called a course management system (CMS) - to organize and manage courses, course materials, students, grades, quizzes, and communications. Course management systems are usually web-based.
A course management system can be used as an add-on for a regular course allowing teachers to manage various aspects of teaching. It can also be used in distance learning or hybric courses as the primary mean of communication among teachers and students.
