2020 has been a year that will go down in history as the year that brought about change! Until a cure is discovered for COVDI-19 life as we know it, has changed forever. From the way we shop to the way we socialize and to even the way we learn!
As many schools have closed physical classrooms due to COVDI-19 restrictions, teachers and educators around the world have had to switch to distant learning platforms to ensure that children are not falling back on their studies and that education is carried out consistently.
Fortunately, learning management systems (LMS) have been developed to improve learner engagement and execute remote learning efforts. Universities, schools, and other institutions can now offer online or hybrid classes using an LMS. These platforms include advanced features that help manage students, simplify collaboration, and make learning fun and interactive.
What are the benefits of using a Learning Management System?
- Reduces Learning Time
The use of a Learning Management System (LMS) helps save time. Instead of having to sit through lessons at specific times the automation, and programming within the system will assist students, to access course material at any time.
2. Saves Money
Thanks to learning management systems educational institutions can save on costs which they can allocate to other resources. Online classrooms allow real-time training to people studying from different geographical locations, these courses can be used again and again with new students. This system also helps to completely do away with instructor travel costs, site rentals, and print materials. Your students can carry out all their training online, which means that you will be saving a large sum from your learning and development budget. For example, you will not have to worry about printing out 1000 copies of case studies because all the information required is already entered into the system. LMS not only saves more money for the institute but it also cuts travel cost and another cost for students while helping them save more & learn more.
3. Monitor and Assess Progress
This management system offers a feature which allows teachers to track and monitor a student’s progress at any time. A successful learning management system will provide educators with a smooth and user-friendly interface to assess the progress for both tutors and students. You can use reporting and analytics tools to keep track of a student’s progress and see if they are meeting their objectives. Students can also chat with teachers at any time if they have any questions. Parents can also access the system to see progress reports of their children and can chat with their teachers.
4. Flexibility
Learning Management Systems make it easy for students to study online at their own pace, whether it be on a mobile phone, laptop, desktop or tablet device at any time as long as they have access to an internet connection.
5. Easy Access to Information
All the information related to different courses/subjects are well structured and is available in the same place, making it accessible to all users. Courses, calendars, multimedia content, archives and evaluations are just one click away.
6. Multimedia Learning
The learning management system allows institutions to create multimedia content which makes learning interesting for the students. Teachers can add videos, images, audio, and text which all serve as great tools in teaching. Students can also communicate with their teachers and their classmates via chat platforms and online forums, creating a more interactive, attractive, and personal learning experience.
7. Personalization
Learning platforms allow each institution to completely personalize their learning management platform. The brand image can be incorporated into the platform and different elements and features can be tailored to the institution’s taste. They can be multi-language platforms and various customizations that help institutions deliver a more smooth and interactive learning experience for the student. Different portals and user IDs can be created without the need for additional installations and could also include systems for the evaluation of students for exams/testing.
In conclusion, investing in a good learning management system will help your institution operate smoother during these hard times and build trust among students while you make a profit.
