Class for Open LMS
Open LMS and Class partner to provide the best of synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Open LMS and Class have joined forces to provide an integrated solution that enables the delivery of memorable remote and hybrid learning experiences for higher ed and the workplace. Through these combined platforms, learners and teachers can seamlessly access synchronous and asynchronous learning tools, solving for the new world of remote and hybrid learning.
Level Up Your Online Learning Platform With Open LMS & Class
Class adds teaching and learning tools to Zoom which make the virtual classroom feel like an in-person classroom. Class is built on the Zoom platform and includes everything needed to facilitate instruction and improve learner engagement in virtual and hybrid classroom settings.
Class creates an active, collaborative learning environment to drive results. With features as simple as maintaining learner focus, Class’s unique layout is designed to increase visibility. The Podium feature pins the instructor at the top so they’re always visible. Presenters and speakers are at the front of the class, making it easy to find and interact with them.
Class also collects and digests feedback on what’s happening in the session in the fixed participants panel, with information like who’s speaking, who raised their hand, and who sent a message. Instructors and assistants can also see non-verbal feedback, like a thumbs up or a request to slow down, and whether learners have lost focus by switching to a different application.
Class creates a central environment for tools to manage instruction to make virtual administration easier. Instructors can give an assignment or assessment during a class/session that opens in a new tab. Grades are automatically entered into the gradebook, and with the in-app proctoring tool, instructors can confidently test online.
Class also focuses on restoring connection and collaboration in learning to drive more meaningful results. With Class’s Enhanced Breakout Rooms, instructors can launch materials—including polls, assignments, assessments and quizzes—directly to each room to save time navigating to different apps. The Whiteboard functionality allows instructors to deploy prepared templates and sustain ongoing interaction across multiple sessions.
With rich data, instructors can find opportunities to pivot and uplevel their sessions. Engagement analytics are found in the Class dashboard. Instructors can easily gain insights for their entire class, or for an individual learner.
