## What Is the LMS?

The LMS (Agentic LMS) is ibl.ai's open-source learning platform. Learners discover courses, programs, and pathways, take courses either by reading units or by learning in conversation with an AI tutor, and build a record of their skills and credentials. Course teams run their courses from the same screens, and administrators get analytics and organization-wide settings.

The platform runs in production at [lms.ibl.ai](https://lms.ibl.ai) and the source code is available at [github.com/iblai/lms](https://github.com/iblai/lms). It ships as a web application, as desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and as mobile apps for iOS and Android.

This documentation section covers every screen of the application: navigation and onboarding, the catalog, the course player, course administration, learner profiles, analytics, notifications, and organization settings.

## Core Capabilities

#### Course Discovery & Enrollment
A searchable, filterable catalog of courses, programs, and pathways, with free, paid, and invitation-only enrollment. See [Discover](catalog/discover.md) and [Course Page](catalog/course-about.md).

#### AI-Led Courses
Courses can be taught by an AI tutor that knows the course and the unit you are on, teaches by conversation, and can decide when you have completed a unit. A **Learn / Assess** switch moves between the tutor and the unit's own assessment. See [Agent Tab](course/agent.md).

#### Course Player
The course outline, progress and grade, unit-by-unit navigation, timed exams, dates, and discussions in one place. See [Course Player](course/layout.md).

#### Course Administration
Everything a course team needs inside the course: enrollment and course-team roles, a gradebook with overrides, cohorts, due-date extensions, attempt resets, downloadable reports, analytics, credentials, and advanced settings. See [Administration](course-administration/overview.md).

#### Skills & Credentials
Earned, self-reported, and desired skills, a skill leaderboard, and credentials awarded automatically when a course is completed or passed. See [Skills](profile/skills.md) and [Credentials](profile/credentials.md).

#### Programs & Pathways
Multi-course programs with overall progress, and pathways that learners can follow or build for themselves. See [Programs](catalog/programs.md) and [Pathways](catalog/pathways.md).

#### AI Agent Everywhere
An AI agent is one click away on every page, and opens the current course's own agent when you are in a course. See [Navigating the LMS](getting-started/navigation.md#ai-agent-tab).

#### Analytics
Organization-wide dashboards for users, courses, programs, topics, transcripts, memory, AI cost, audit, and revenue, with CSV exports. See [Analytics](analytics/overview.md).

#### Onboarding
An optional Start screen that builds a learner's role and skill profile, and a configurable onboarding flow that ends by introducing an AI assistant. See [Start Screen](getting-started/start-screen.md) and [Onboarding](getting-started/onboarding.md).

#### Multi-Organization, SSO & RBAC
Each organization has its own catalog, branding, and settings, with single sign-on and role-based access control shared with the rest of ibl.ai. See [Organization Settings](organization-settings/overview.md).
