Genesis of LMS is a sweeping, authoritative exploration of how Learning Management Systems have reshaped education, workforce development, and national training across the globe. Moving far beyond software features or implementation checklists, this book traces the historical evolution of LMS technology and examines its profound influence on higher education, corporate learning, government systems, and the future of digital ecosystems.
