What makes Learning Management System need of the hour?

Learning Management System (LMS), or Learning Content Management System, has emerged as a technology gift for the education industry. With thousands of schools now getting online and many more to go, LMS is sure to become a trend-setter. If you are still not sure about what an LMS is and how it works, now is the time to explore. After all, these tools can Sureshot improve teaching patterns and the effectiveness of the teaching.

For the non-technicals, an LMS is a software toolkit wherein you move your education materials to the digital platform. The students can then access the documents and interact with the teachers via the software itself. Sounds exciting, right. During times such as the present, with the institutes closed, an LMS indeed seems a perfect solution for schools and institutes alike.

Now that you know a little about LMS, let’s delve deep into its essential features and how they impact the education sector as a whole:

1. Online Content Library: The most crucial feature of the LMS. It’s like an e-Library for instant content access and content distribution to the students (and teachers). All images, pdfs, word files, videos can be stored into the Online Content Library and can be accessed with the click of a button.

2. Assignments and Discussion Forum: Using an LMS, all assignments submission and marks management can be made online. The submission dates are all online set, and the software doesn’t accept submissions once the time is over, which helps maintain discipline among students. There is also a discussion forum for students and teachers to communicate with each other. The discussion forums are segregated according to subjects and classes for easy management.

3. Communication Management: All communications, be it messages or links of any kind, can be directly done through the LMS. And since it’s all online, we can have all the information about the delivery rate of the notifications as well.

4. Integrated Virtual Classroom and Course Management: The overall ambience of the LMS will make it feel no less than a classroom. The digital impact, tracking power, and study-at-your-own-time-and-pace only makes it better. The teachers have all the tools to structure the courses and the lectures and chapters associated with them.

5. Reports: A vital element for any institute is to know how effective its working model is. More so for an educational institute, where the future of the children is involved. With tracking reports becoming more comfortable and more natural for the online community, there is no reason why people would prefer out of an LMS.

6. Data Storage in LMS: Since the advent of Cloud-computing, gone are the days where people used to purchase large disk-drives to store data. With SSH connectivity in place, you are never away from your data.

SchoolLog has recently launched an LMS earlier this month. I am excited to say that as of now, i.e., in a span of two weeks alone, we have delivered the product to 183 schools and counting.
