Overview

This manual describes the functionality of the Lecando Learning Content Management System, from here on referred to as the LCMS. The LCMS stores webbased learning content in a centralized repository and provides a place for authors to work together on multiple course creation projects. It is arranged to help users focus on creating, editing and reusing course content. The LCMS is either available inside the IBM Lotus LMS as a separate tab, or in IBM Lotus Workplace as portlets.
