Learning Management System

In India, if we look around, we will realize the fact that teaching as a practise has evolved immensely through the ages. From the ‘Gurukul’ style of imparting education we have worked our way to high technology labs and class rooms equipped with top of the line equipments.

Many jobs of the future will be in fields of technology.  Kids today need to use a lot of machines like computers as a part of their training and education. Online education has become widely used within the last 10 years by children as young as pre-school age. It’s being implemented into basic curricula throughout the nation, from elementary schools to college campuses. Therefore they need to be taught as to how to use the internet as well as other technological tools.

Today teachers are finding ways to make their current curriculum more engaging, exciting and efficient by using more electronic educational tools and applications. Instructors have a better way of presenting a syllabus and course discussions by using online webinars, and even a centralized class forum and grading system.

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of education courses or training programs. LMSs range from systems for managing training and educational records to software for distributing online or blended/hybrid college courses over the Internet with features for online collaboration. Colleges and universities use LMSs to deliver online courses and augment on-campus courses.

By using a learning management system (LMS) schools can teach their students better through an integrated web-based platform of online education courses. LMS greatly helps in record keeping and documentation of educational and administrative information. Also data regarding each individual student can also be managed by this system.

Several college campuses have actively adapted these systems in their functions and have seen great result in the form of better management of information, better student response, better course structure formation and more. Systems can be up and running with little installation and training. There are several benefits that come when such a system is up and running like students can take advantage of things like webinars, assessments, and discussion forums, with a simple self-registration process.

We must understand the rapidly changing scenario in the Indian education space. 4 out of 5 students own a computer or other electronic device that they use for education purposes. This statistic bears more teeth when it comes to the urban cities. Elementary up to college, students are embracing the technological age by using that technology to sharpen their communication, creativity, and problem-solving skills. More online courses will harness more and more students.

In fact, some say that online education succeeds with the shy kids even more as such kids are more likely to speak up with questions or comments in an online discussion because there is a more laid back learning environment and no judging from other students.

Honestly speaking, once seen as a second-rate choice, ‘online education’ has developed a niche for itself and has been flagged as a mainstream, respectable option full of endless subjects and breakout career prospects. http://unilrn.com/
