A learning management system is an educational experience not only for the learners using it, but for the person who creates it. In the creation of a learning management system, the preparation of learning material is an involved process. Just like preparing a semester’s worth of lesson plans, it doesn’t happen overnight, and the information doesn’t travel directly from the writer’s head and into the learning management system.

Preparing a lecture or course material requires you to think more thoroughly about the subject than you normally would. Oftentimes, while collecting and organizing information, you find out there are some holes in your understanding. Your efforts to fill these holes not only enrich your own expertise on the subject, but may be platforms for further research.
