E-learning terminology

Scalability refers to the degree to which the use of an LMS can be expanded to accommodate a growing number of e-courses, simultaneously connected users, while maintaining the same level of functionality and responsiveness. This is an important requirement for institutions that plan to grow their user base (or increase the number of users who will use the LMS relative to the entire population). Most HEIs need an LMS that is flexible enough to adapt to the growth and decline of the number of teachers and students actively using it at any given time.
