This document discusses how an LMS (Learning Management System) can help Anna, an instructional designer, and her manager Nathan. Anna spends too much time on administrative tasks for her courses like booking rooms and tracking attendance. Nathan wants to expand their training offerings while reducing Anna's administrative workload. An LMS can help everyone by automating administrative tasks, providing better tracking of training progress and usage, and allowing for expanded training options. Screenshots of various LMS features are provided to demonstrate how users, managers, and instructional designers can benefit from an LMS.
