What is an LMS? or CMS?

Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Course Management Systems (CMS) allow for educators to organize their course information in an online format without the need for web design experience.

Why would I want to use Vista?

A CMS can be a valuable tool in your teaching toolkit. It can house all your course material in one location, your assignments and gradebook, as well as provide interactive tools for your students.
