Although the first LMS appeared in the higher education sector, the majority of the LMSs today focus on the corporate market. Learning Management Systems make up the largest segment of the learning system market. The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s.[2]

Learning management systems were designed to identify training and learning gaps, utilizing analytical data and reporting. LMSs are focused on online learning delivery but support a range of uses, acting as a platform for online content, including courses, both asynchronous based and synchronous based. An LMS may offer classroom management for instructor-led training or a flipped classroom, used in higher education, but not in the corporate space. </p>

Ladies and Gentlemen ... Greetings from CNM Digital Services team ... Significant developments on several initiatives ... Please review thoroughly and, as always, if more is needed just let us know and we'll shift fires accordingly ...

CNM IT Taskforce project

This newsletter continues introducing CNM IT to you in order to recruit volunteers, someones like you, for CNM IT Taskforce. The primary purpose of this project is to put our technology to work.

Why CNM IT? Simply because many at CNM would love to expand the current services and reach out to those groups that are currently under-served or not served at all. This purpose drives CNM's digital transformation if you like to call this project that way.

Last week, we started the introduction with CNM Videos. Today, we will touch CNM Mails and CNM Certs. Next week, I plan to introduce CNM Labs and CNM Wikis.

CNM Certs

Our team launched its first learning management system as early as in 2012. Several courses such as HTML, Web Dev Fast Track, and MS Excel were once posted there. The most popular course was PMP Bootcamp, but the real boost our renewed system got in 2018, when it was used by students of one university in China.

CNM Campus is the system's previous name. However, the new vision is that the whole CNM Cloud will serve as the learning campus, so the learning management system's name has changed.

The system can support any learning activities especially those that are resulted in some tests and examinations. For now, we plan to publish there our team's orientation (its outline is currently published on <a href="https://wiki.friendsofcnm.org/en/WorldOpp_Orientation" target="_blank">wiki.friendsofcnm.org/en/WorldOpp_Orientation</a>, but our team is really waiting for your input for what should be there, who will put and use it, and how the system shall work.

With your help, we may design CNM Certs to help to identify and close training and learning gaps. Theoretically, it can also serve other educational organizations and employers -- if you are not aware, learning management systems today are more used by corporations rather than by schools.

CNM Mails

Traditionally, we used emailing solutions provided by third-party vendors. This is how my current email address, gary@careernetworkministry.org, is set up. In addition, we used emailing tools that came with various pieces of software we used for collaboration, project, learning, customer relationship, and so on management.

However, there were some overlapping and unnecessary redundancy. That is why we have just installed a separate mailing server. Our team plans that it will serve all the applications within the CNM Cloud. Who and how should use it? How may we ensure a high level of its security? How should we fight the spam? Should we integrate some calendaring software? Do we really need the own email system? If so, would you like to help us to define what we need?

How to get started

Here are a couple of scenarios for how to get started:

  1. If you don't have time, interest, or ability to help with development, stay tuned and get back when the services are up and running;
  2. If you have a description of your desired role, reply to this email and attach it;
  3. If you are interested in joining our taskforce, RSVP for the taskforce meeting. Currently, they are planned to be hosted in Vienna, VA, on Tuesday evenings. The upcoming one for May 7th is published on <a href="https://www.meetup.com/mbc-cnm/events/260915652/" target="_blank">meetup.com/mbc-cnm/events/260915652</a> ). Fortunately or unfortunately, I am rarely available to meet you at any other place and/or any other time.

Blessings, peace, thanks! --Gary, Natly, Romanof, and Paul at CNM Digital Services
