Gartner defines higher education learning management systems (LMSs) as the central hub for teaching and learning technologies, offering access to a variety of tools and services both inside and outside of the platform. The LMS directs learners to learning resources, provides tools for developing and tracking assignments and assessments, and can generate reports and analytics on learner performance. The LMS is designed to support the various roles involved in teaching and learning, and facilitates online collaboration and communication among learners, instructors and administrators.
A learning management system is a software application designed to support and manage the delivery of educational content and services to learners, faculty and staff in higher education institutions.
Some of the key purposes of a higher education LMS include:
Providing a centralized platform for delivering and managing educational content, such as course materials, assignments, quizzes, exams and other resources.
Supporting various teaching and learning activities, such as online and blended learning, flipped classroom models, and interactive and collaborative learning experiences.
Offering administrative benefits, such as automating various tasks like grading, attendance taking, and reporting; reducing workload; and increasing efficiency.

Higher Education Learning Management Systems

Gartner defines the student information system (SIS) as the core system of record for higher education institutions that serves as the central hub for storing, organizing and processing student academic and administrative activities. The SIS supports student, faculty and staff-facing functionality, including management of information assets, while also supporting back-end administrative functionality. Current market offerings vary in size, scope, regionalization, functional capability and delivery options.
Serving the students, faculty and administrative staff, the SIS provides a chronology of individual business transactions, academic activity, advising interactions and educational outcomes. Additionally, it manages vital student assets, including course offerings, course catalogs, course registrations, financial aid, grades and transcripts throughout the student life cycle. Offerings can range from individual components to enterprise wide integrated solutions, or they may be part of a larger administrative ERP application suite.

Higher Education Student Information Systems

The student information system of the typical K-12 organization continues to sit at the center of nearly all its data management. It provides back-office administrator functionality, as well as student-, parent- and faculty-facing functionality to manage key organizational information assets. Such assets include not only demographic data, enrollment, grades, and transcripts, but also state or other governmental agency reporting capabilities. Systems vary widely in size; scope; state, regional or national markets; and functional capability — and they range from individual components to enterprise-wide integrated solutions. They also function as the system of record for several other critical applications, including the LMS, demanding interoperability.
