A Course Management System (CMS) is a digital tool that helps educational institutions manage their training courses, integrate with student and faculty systems, and facilitate communication. It provides dashboards for school management, staff, students, and parents, allowing users to upload assignments, view schedules, and track progress. Additionally, the CMS can utilize artificial intelligence for analytics and links to third-party marketplaces to sell courses and enhance engagement through blogs and social media.

2. What is a course management
system?
 A course management system (CMS) is a collection
of digital software tools that enable an educational
institute or an individual trainer to list, sell, and
manage their training courses. A course management
system is an essential part of a school management
system.

3. Dashboard for the School Management
 This feature allows the school management to list
school courses and upload course materials.
Integration with the student-parent and staff or faculty
management systems enables the management to
map courses to the relevant classes and assign
appropriate staff to the course. Calendar
management system integration allows the power to
create and schedule a timetable and give the course
materials. Integration with the accounting
management system should enable the management
to overview the financial data about a specific course
or courses.

4. Dashboard for the Staff and Faculty
 The course management system module allows the
teachers to see their dashboard of their assigned
courses, classes, and students, etc. Teachers or
trainers should be able to upload course materials.
This feature allows the teachers to check
assignments uploaded by the students and grade
those assignments. Grades and assignments or exam
related data is stored in the database for future
reference.

5. Dashboard for the Students &
Parents
 Students can log in to their accounts and see an exclusive
preview of their school activities. They can download or view the
class notes and lecture audio or video, upload their assignments,
etc. They can view their class schedule for the current period and
plan their studies.
Parents can view their child’s progress and current schedule
and activities. They can also see any communication from the
school management and faculty. They can also check the
upcoming payments and the payment history etc.
The course management system is integrated with the
communication module to enable seamless communication
between the involved parties. Integration with the library helps to
monitor student’s library borrowings and book return due dates.

6.  The use of artificial intelligence helps to generate various
analytical reports such as a student’s progress projection, and
recommended course of action, etc.
 A sound CMS will have the ability to link with third party
marketplaces via APIs to promote and sell the courses. A blog
site where school faculty, trainers, and students can publish the
latest course-related content and exciting information can boost
the incoming traffic to the school website. And in return, increase
the signups for the courses.
 A sound review system for the course alumni to rate the course
can boost the course signups. Social media platforms’ presence
can also increase awareness about the course and bring in more
registrations.
 A course is the foundational product of a training school, so the
tools’ quality to manage the courses is of fundamental
importance.
