The LMS supports all learning types including online courses (internal or external), virtual classes (live and archived), instructor led classroom sessions, workshops, on-the-job training and assessments, and blended learning programs that combine any of these types along with exams or quizzes as needed.
Each type of learning module has its own configuration requirements and properties. For this reason you cannot change a learning module's learning type once you have created the module.
Table: Types of learning module you can create in the LMS, subject to licensing.
| Learning Type | Description |
| Classroom | Schedule-based classroom training that can have multiple sessions and locations. |
| Exam | This learning type requires the learner to do something that is assessed. Assessments are built with the LMS Exam functionality. |
| Just-in-Time Learning | This is usually quick-to-learn material available via a link to an external provider. This type of course can usually be launched at any time and any number of times. |
| Online | Online learning, accessed via the web or intranet, typically in SCORM, AICC, or xAPI format, but can also be links to other types of resources. |
| On-the-Job Training | The On-the-Job Training (OJT) learning type is designed to allow direct appraisers or supervisors to assess the performance of learners after they have completed some on-the- job training. |
| Program | A collection of related learning modules, which can be different types. Constituent modules may be mandatory or optional. Learners enroll in the program itself, not in each module. |
| Task | Tasks are lightweight courses and can be used to track snippets of training, or to track the accomplishment of specific piece of work. |
| Virtual Classroom | This type of course provides a link to a scheduled virtual classroom training session, typically a webinar or video conference where learners can interact with the instructor. |
| Virtual Classroom (archived) | This provides a link to a recorded virtual classroom session that may be accessed for direct playback. |
