3. Integrated learning systems
These are hardware/software solutions designed
to deliver instructional content. The effective delivery of
that content is measured, monitored, and maintained
with an array of assessment and management tools
that may also be part of that system.
4. Integrated learning systems are generally
associated with educational/academic environments,
but are also deployed within private industry, for
example, as a way to introduce employees to new,
mission critical systems and software applications.
5. As opposed to static online help or even animated
tutorials, integrated learning systems are highly
interactive and are designed to provide feedback as to
progress and grasp of the subject matter at hand. Built-in
tools further allow executive management or instructors
and trainers to monitor and measure a student's
progress.
7. Example
Integrated learning systems are designed to teach
students skills. They are computer networks of about 30
computers, typically located in a “computer lab” where
students go several hours a week. The integrated learning
systems have individualized, self-paced instruction in
reading, math, writing, and other subjects. The
computerized program determines the level of each student
in each subject, monitors student performance, and
prescribes appropriate lessons. It also gives teachers
ongoing updates on each student’s progress.
8. Integrated Learning Management System(ILS) is similar to
Learning Management System or LMS. Examples are Moodle
and Blackboard.
