What?

Learning management systems are software that facilitate the administration, delivery, and management of course content. They provide tools for organising, tracking, and assessing student progress, as well as communication and collaboration between teachers and students.

How?

Course management. LMS provide a central platform where teachers can organise course materials, create learning modules, and deliver content to students. They enable the structuring of course content, tracking student progress, and facilitating communication.

Assessment. Teachers can create and administer quizzes and assignments, mark submissions, and provide feedback. LMS systems automate marking processes, providing instant feedback and allowing for efficient management of assessment data.

Learning analytics and reporting. Teachers can access insights and analytics about individual students or the entire class, enabling them to monitor student activity, identify at-risk students, and make data-informed instructional decisions.
