Technology moves in a very swift pace and as time passes, technology improves prototypes into a far more advanced versions of the original one. The same goes for education as well. Back then teaching and training are done in the classical classroom set up where a single professor lectures and dozens of students listen and try to understand the lesson being discussed.  Today, learners can simply study a certain training program or course from their computer monitors through a newly developed teaching system. Elearning is the newest teaching method that has been circulating in the online industry. It is simply using the internet to deliver lesson plans and training programs to a wide range of students and trainees across the globe. Through this new online teaching program, education and training can be spread to a wider audience beyond the capacity of the traditional classroom set up. Accessibility is no longer a problem. Massive number of students can study simultaneously through this online teaching method. Now the question is: “How does the program handle such number of data coming from thousands of students?” Managing education and training course and even monitoring the progress of the users are no longer a difficult task, all thanks to Learning Management System or LMS. It is software designed for planning, delivering and managing learning procedure within an organization. This includes online or virtual classroom and instructor-led courses. Through this system it is possible to sort assessment and progress data of massive number of students. However this managing system is incomplete because it only delivers and keeps track of educational course but it is not capable of producing course content. No invention can be undone as history proves from time and time again and the next evolution is Learning Content Management System or LCMS it is a related technology developed from LSM. This content managing system unlike its mother version can create, reuse, store and deliver learning content obtain from a central object repository. It can also provide tools for authoring and re-purposing content as well as virtual space for student to interact with each other examples of these interactions are discussion forums, live chat rooms and live web-conferences. The developed version of the learning managing system was given a new name as Computer Learning Content Information Management System or Clcims, in order to grant it a uniform phonetic way of referencing any software learning system which is based on the advanced learning technology methodology. The virtual classroom moves in very fast pace and software applications such as Learning Management System has become the stepping stone in producing a far more technologically advance Learning Managing System that which is capable of not only delivering education course but also capable of creating its own course content, the Learning Content Management System.
