LMS Management - 6 Simple Steps to Join the LMS Bandwagon
Every year, there are fewer and fewer schools that still haven’t embraced the LMS revolution. At this point in time, there are no good reasons to stay behind the curve. These tools bring enormous benefits to students and teachers alike, and they’re really not as difficult to embrace as one may assume. For any educators currently looking to integrate eLearning in their schools, this article will provide a straightforward checklist of the required steps.
- Assess school requirements
A good starting point is to assess the requirements of your particular school. Depending on the number of students, the diversity of subjects, the presence of special education needs and many other factors, different solutions will be appropriate. In any case, a robust package like Joomla LMS King does not have a forbidding price tag, and there are different versions available to suit the budget and requirements of learning institutions – no matter their size or the complexity of their goals.
- get the best LMS
While there are many LMS software packages out there, we’re a bit partial to Joomla LMS King. It’s a robust, full-featured solution, which has proven again and again to be reliable and stable. They have very attentive customer support and will help fix any difficulties, as well as paying close attention to feedback from teachers, which they use to keep refining their product. There are different versions available at different prices and complexity levels, including a Lite version that is good enough to get started and sample these tools.
- Setup and test LMS
Once you’ve decided on the LMS package to be used, it needs to be deployed into a server and set up as a website (usually the official website for the learning institution, but not necessarily so). This task is relatively simple and straightforward for a person with some experience using web servers, but even a non-technical user can get it done in a day’s work. The process is mostly automated and similar to installing a software package on the computer.
- Create content
Once the LMS has been set up and deployed into the school’s server, it’s only a matter of creating content as appropriate. Learning materials can be imported into the platform, directions should be written for students to follow, and a plan should be established before the platform is formally open.
5) Get parents and students to register
With everything in place, it’s just a matter of getting everyone to join in – not only students but also parents, who can get access to a number of reports that will help them keep an eye on the progress of their children as well as getting involved in the process whenever needed.
If your school has been putting off jumping into the LMS bandwagon, the time has come to move forward. These tools are ubiquitous and very intuitive, and they’re proven to help improve the quality of learning as well as lessen the workload of teachers by improving efficiency on a number of tasks.
