6 Significant LMS features
Various LMS websites and software are used by businesses, government agencies, traditional educational institutions, as well as online e-learning companies, as they help improve traditional educational methods while also saving time and money. A wide range of features available in LMS software make it a powerful tool to support different forms of training and education. These are the following:
Teaching Management System:
An essential component of a learning management platform is the management of courses, which makes teaching and learning easier. This system greatly simplifies course administration activities, such as registrations, changes, order management, materials delivery, evaluations, and grading. In addition, it saves time usually spent manually organizing this information.
Management Of Users And Groups:
Institutions often follow a hierarchical and organized approach to education. Using the LMS further facilitates this learning process. This tool organizes the students based on their location, year, and type of training, among others, using its student learning management system. In addition, it provides tools to help integrate that data within the existing data systems and synchronize the users' lists.
Data Analysis And Reports:
The purpose of this feature is to provide comprehensive details about everything within the LMS. First of all, it provides an overview of the student's test scores, progress, and areas requiring additional attention. Secondly, it helps to evaluate the actual learning process being used, enabling it to be tailored to fit the needs of the learners. This is one of the key advantages of learning management systems.
Ease Of Testing And Assessment:
Using online testing and assessment tools, it is easy to assess a student's level of proficiency in a particular skill or knowledge. This is regardless of the number of students taking the course. When it comes to measuring academic progress, online, timed, scored, private, and formative tests help. Moreover, the Learni

A Learning Management System (LMS) is software used to create and deliver educational courses and track participation and progress. An LMS allows schools and businesses to design instruction, distribute content, facilitate interaction, assess performance, and provide analytics. Key features of an LMS include centralized content storage, customizable interfaces, tracking of learner data, automated alerts and notifications, flexible reporting, and tools to assess understanding like quizzes and tests. LMS platforms are used widely in education and corporate training to support both online and in-person instruction.
This document discusses e-learning and MOOCs. It begins by defining e-learning as using electronic technologies to access education outside a traditional classroom. It then describes the two types of e-learning - synchronous and asynchronous - and discusses learning management systems (LMS), which are software platforms that facilitate online learning. The document also discusses MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), explaining their open access nature, scale, and role in distance learning compared to online college courses.

1. LMS Design and Layout: Edmodo
Team A: Nichol Albertson, Jessica Hyldahl, Sharon Bazil, Kit Keller, Crystal Brooks
Unit 4, March 4, 2014
IX564 Design of Learning Environments
Professor Lyndon Godsall
2. Functional Features of the System
Sign on
Participant training videos
Class creation
Course communications
Calendar
Discussion Threads
Dropbox
Quiz/Assessment creation
Quiz Performance tracking
Linking to outside media
Polling feature
Edmodo allows for two way communication and feedback,
assessment, assignments, sharing information and grading
of assessments. It supports a wide range of media formats
including slideshows, documents, web links, sound files,
movies, discussion threads and images.
External software will be needed for more full bodied data
tracking of student data including assessment, assignment
and project grades. External software will also be needed
for blogging and building wikis during collaborative case
studies and simulations. Edmodo is not a sufficient
foundation for an entire course, but rather one of many
resources or tools to be implemented in the pursuit of best
practice.
3. System Management Personnel
Edmodo is a Learning Management System that builds on the
functionality of popular social networking sites.
Individual faculty members, parents and administrators function as the
major management personnel.
5. Functional Features
Student Sign-up Screen: Students do not
need to have an email address to join; only
need the group code which is given to them
by the teacher
6. Functional Features
Communication Screen: There are many ways to collaborate and communicate with
Edmodo such as notes, alerts, polls, assignments, attaching files, links and library.
Note Screen: Communicate using the note feature where reply can be used for
threaded discussions
9. Functional Features
Another advantage of Edmodo is the global access and connectivity to a
wide array of resources, including educational apps and teacher
communities. Edmodo offers an array of free and premium third-party
education apps to enhance learning and engagement. These advanced
features may provide an opportunity for a training group to be developed
within teachers and administrators to explore these apps and their
impact on learning and establish a series of best practices and a system
of implementation into the classroom. A comprehensive understanding
of these apps is very important as many are associated with a yearly
licensing fee, or a group-based per seat fee which can drive up the cost
of the free learning platform. Additionally, connecting and sharing
resources with other teachers within Edmodo’s communities can
supplement learning on a budget and can offer the opportunity to
continue to establish best practices in classroom learning.
11. Technical Support
User Support
Internal support is provided by instructors.
External support for users is provided by the help
desk and a trouble ticket is opened.
Issues are handled or escalated to a higher level as
required.
Users are informed of the fix and trouble ticket is
closed.
13. Infrastructure: Internal and External
Network Diagram:
Edmodo’s infrastructure is based on a basic
network operating structure.
External users connect by Internet to the
schools web server.
This connection is facilitated by routers and
firewalls that allow only authorized users
access.
Internal users connect directly by the schools
network infrastructure
The Edmodo’s server works with the
database server to provide what the user is
requesting.
