The learning process is perennial, especially with the advent of the knowledge driven economy and ever changing market concepts and requirements. This forces an individual and institutions to keep abreast with these innovative developments.This is an ubiquitous issue that affects both, the corporate as well as the academic worlds. The emergence of networked computers has not only paved the way for supporting academicians and researchers by providing a means of communication but also brought to the forefront the use of web-based education, which defies boundaries.

Guardbooks technologies offers distance learning system which is build around open source framework. Coined as GB LAMS (Learning Activities Management System), the LMS adapts itself according to the learner's performance and learning path. It is an effective and efficient system build around five general principles, which are defined as the "five Elements". These elements lead to the creation of a dynamic, learner centered environment which focuses on learning retention and cognitive development, juxtaposed with emerging technologies.

 GB-LAMS Five Elements

• Adaptive Student Interface, that provides a learner centered environment. This includes use of chat modules, discussion forums, portfolio exchange, voting options to mention a few.
• Course creation component, which allows authors to directly submit their concepts and sub-concepts into the system.
• Registration Component, which holds the demographic details of every user.
• Dynamic Assessment component, which provides exams, quizzes, Q&A and labs at each concept level.
• Statistical Component, that continuously collects data in the background. This data can be mined to get important statistical and performance information of every participant in the LMS.
• As a result of the above, inherint in the arichetecture are features like: Scalability, Compatibility, Reusability, High Availability, Data flow management, Processing Load and Intelligent Agents to mention a few..
• The system is highly customisable and can be deployed in a short time period.
