Completion of course and simulation content can be tracked using a Learning Management System (LMS). Published content can be located within the LMS or on the Server. The Server leverages the Package Exchange Notification Services (PENS) standard to support the transfer of published content to the LMS. Refer to Publishing Content for Use with an LMS for more information.
Tracking functionality includes the collection, receipt, and update notifications which display in the LMS Transactions area on the content cover page.
You must be a system administrator, project administrator, or publishing administrator to add, enable, or disable an LMS instance within the Server.
