Just like the Hyper Text Markup language the learning management system is easy to develop and use. In the establishment of the learning management systems various HTML tags are usually used as well as web based learning tools. For individuals with the basic knowledge of the HTML and are in need of understanding the coding techniques, they should understand that there are various ways in which the HTML language may be represented (Dodge, 2015). The Kompozer is software that can be downloaded from the world web that may assist people without the knowledge of HTML to establish attractive professional looking web without the knowledge of the web coding. The Kompozer is a software application that is downloaded and installed in the computer to assist individuals with the mere knowledge of HTML to establish coding and systems in the web.  The browser extensions normally extend the web browser with additional web pages and integrate the web browser with other users. Chrome Web Store is an example of coding language where an individual may discover various applications, themes and extensions.

The Google sites are very important while learning how to use the different coding language because they enable the learners to share and create web pages.

The instructor may establish different programs such as simple word document which might be linked with the websites (Dodge, 2015). The WebQuests are normally used by the instructors to educate the students on how different websites may be integrated.

The Learning management systems are important systems which making learning and teaching much easier and enjoyable for both the instructors and the learners. Prior to establishing the learning management systems it is important to establish whether it achieve the intended objectives.
