 Introduction to learning management system  The learning management system concept emerged directly from e-Learning . Learning management systems make up the largest segment of the learning system market. The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s. LMSs have been adopted by almost all higher education institutions in the English-speaking world. Learning management systems were designed to identify training and learning gaps, using 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. In the higher education space, an LMS may offer classroom management for instructor-led training or a flipped classroom .  Modern LMSs include intelligent algorithms to make automated recommendations for courses based on a user's skill profile as well as extract metadata  from learning materials to make such ...

 Application software The term “application software” refers to software that performs specific functions for a user. When a user interacts directly with a piece of software, it is called application software. The sole purpose of application software is to assist the user in doing specified tasks. Microsoft Word and Excel, as well as popular web browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome, are examples of application software. It also encompasses the category of mobile apps, which includes apps like WhatsApp for communication and games like Candy Crush Saga. There are also app versions of popular services, such as weather or transportation information, as well as apps that allow users to connect with businesses.  Global Positioning System (GPS) ,  Graphics ,  multimedia , presentation software, desktop publishing software, and so on are examples of such software.

Computers generation Generations of Computer : The modern computer took its shape with the arrival of your time. It had been around the 16th century when the evolution of the computer started. The initial computer faced many changes, obviously for the betterment. It continuously improved itself in terms of speed, accuracy, size, and price to urge the form of the fashionable day computer. 1. First Generation of Computers(1940 – 1956):  The period from 1940-1956 was the period of first-generation computers. They are basically based on vacuum tubes, and vacuum tubes are used as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit). For e.g., UNIVAC-1 And ENIVAC 2. Second Generation of Computers (1957 – 1963):  The second generation of computers consists of two types of devices transistors and magnetic core. For e.g., IBM 1401, IBM 1920, etc. 3. Third Generation of Computers(1964 – 1971):  Jack Kilby invented the Integrated Circuit. This Integrated C...

 Earth rotation  The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night. As the Earth rotates, only one-half of the Earth faces the sun at any given time. The half facing the sun is light (day) and the half facing away from the sun is dark (night). The animation below shows the Earth's rotation. Earth rotates  eastward, in prograde motion . As viewed from the northern polar star Polaris, Earth turns counterclockwise. The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. The Earth rotates on its axis relative to the Sun every 24.0 hours mean solar time, with an inclination of 23.45 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the Sun. Mean solar time represents an average of the variations caused by Earth's non-circular orbit. Its rotation relative to "fixed" stars (sidereal time) is 3 minutes 56.55 seconds shorter than the mean solar day, the eq...

Types of planets in the solar system Venus Venus  is the  second planet from the Sun  - about  three quarters of the distance  between the Sun and Earth. It is known as Earth’s twin because they have very similar sizes. Venus is the  hottest planet  in the Solar System with an average temperature of  460°C . Its  thick atmosphere acts like a blanket trapping the Sun’s heat inside . The surface of Venus is dry and rocky with lava flows across parts of the planet. It takes Venus  243 Earth days  to spin round on its axis but only  225 days  to complete an orbit of the Sun. So a day on Venus is actually longer than a year! Image source, NASA Image caption, Venus is so hot that lead would melt on its surface Earth Earth  is the  third planet from the Sun  and the only planet in the Solar System with life on it. Our planet is habitable because it is just the  right temperature to support life . Earth lies in...

 What are solar system  The  Solar   System  is the gravitationally bound  system  of the Sun and the objects that orbit it. It was formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a dense region  of a  molecular cloud  collapsed, forming the Sun and a  protoplanetary disc . The Sun is a typical star that maintains a  balanced equilibrium  by the  fusion  of hydrogen into helium at its  core , releasing this energy from its outer  photosphere . Astronomers  classify  it as a  G-type main-sequence star . A  molecular cloud  collapsed, forming the Sun and a  protoplanetary disc .
