With the COVID-19 pandemic taking over the world, it is imperative that schools and educational institutions shift to alternative learning resources to maintain the flow of educating their students.
The purpose of an LMS is to empower Learning and Development (L&D) departments with training and development for their learners. You could think of a learning management system as a vast archive where you can track and store information.
Anyone with a login and password can access these online training resources whenever and from wherever.
You could deploy a learning management system (LMS) via cloud, get it from a self-hosted platform, desktop application or a mobile application.
One of the biggest perks of having an LMS is that it can store a large amount of data and it tracks learners/students’ performance and monitors progress.
MySchool365 is a learning management software that enables the school and teachers to communicate and track the students’ progress of online learning.
The website enables students to log in whenever they want to, and they can study whatever topic assigned by teacher or of their choice. The school management and teachers can then verify if the student has completed studying a topic or not by logging in with their credentials.
Learning management systems not only provide assistance to students but also to teachers. Teachers themselves can prepare for their classes by listening to these online classes in the LMS. The teacher can individually track a students progress in a particular chapter from any given subject and monitor his/her studying patterns.
The teacher can also check if the student has received any badges or certificates for the completion of a particular.
Not just the teachers, but also the administrators of the school can check the progress made by a student.
The teachers and administrators can also now make announcements on the website for the entire class to read. The students can actively respond to it. One of the best features on MySchool365 is the personalization. The website can display whichever schools’ logo the student belongs to. It gives a personal touch to the site and also the students find it special.
Teachers can also schedule zoom meeting on MySchool365 site and app. The teachers can actively track if the student has completed an assigned course or not which in turn makes the students more accountable and efficient.
After completion of every chapter, a certificate to is given to student virtually in order to encourage them. The website is currently available in 2 versions namely, advanced and premium. In the premium version pdfs and videos can also be shared by teacher among the students.
An effective learning management system ensures that no aspect of education is left behind in educating a student and ensures the delivery of timely education at all times despite the presence of physical classes or not. Students now need not worry about feeling shy in the class to ask questions. Now they can listen to a chapter how many ever times they want since its all posted online without any limitations of replays.
