Do you need LMS training? It may seem like a silly question but it’s worth asking! After all, LMS platforms become more ubiquitous by the day, with many people joining the workforce now having their first exposure to LMS platforms long before they reach college. However, exposure to and familiarity with platforms doesn’t guarantee people are using them in the most effective way possible—even if their day-to-day job revolves around them.
Moodle™ is one of the most popular learning management systems (LMSs) in the world, with a presence in over 245 countries and more than 41 million implemented courses to date. Open LMS cherry-picks the best attributes of Moodle™ to offer a unique platform in the LMS market. Open LMS accomplishes this by adding the flexibility, tools, content, and integrations required to create exceptional learning experiences. This is possible thanks to the possibilities of open-source innovation, as well as the guarantees and advantages of a SaaS (Software as a Service) offering.
The days of high-stakes, paper and pencil examinations are numbered. Like everything else, high-consequence testing is moving to the digital world. In many cases, in-person proctoring is becoming less necessary as online exam software advances. Digital testing also allows results to be returned to students more quickly than in-person, physical exams. That means less waiting and wondering for your students.
The days when education happened only within the four walls of a classroom, with a teacher talking non-stop in front of a chalkboard, seem long gone. Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine education without a screen, whether that’s in higher education institutions or corporate training. Technologies like Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have impacted and revolutionized every aspect of learning. But, are you realizing this technology’s full potential?
With the digital wave and the rise of eLearning as a solution for both corporate training and education, more and more businesses and institutions are looking to invest in a Learning Management System (LMS). However, as budgets get tighter, affordability in such systems has become a priority, especially for many small businesses and schools.
One of the reasons that I love working in EdTech is that for many, it is a project of passion, not just a career. So, you end up having friends and former colleagues reappear with new ideas and new companies. So, about 18 months ago, Michael Chasen called me to tell me about his new product he was working on…taking the power of the Zoom SDK, mixing in teaching and learning components from Moodle, and building a next generation synchronous classroom, I was so excited.
Generally, almost every pursuit of education starts with enrollment. Be it basket weaving or biology, a classroom experience or an online course, the enrollment process is standard across virtually all learning endeavors. However, the approach you choose around this process is worth some consideration in relation to the size of your institution or organization, the goals of your courses, and more. This is especially true as the available options can make what could be a tedious process more streamlined and organized.
Though we’re a visual-first species, it’s critical for our designs to be dynamic and engaging while still relating to the educational content.
