LMS DEVELOPMENT FOR E-LEARNING

Distance learning is fraught with a number of challenges that modern technology can easily solve. The introduction of a distance learning system (Learning Management System or LMS) allows you to quickly organize online courses and programs, form a single database and effectively monitor the progress of each student.

Since distance learning is costly and time consuming, LMS is primarily designed to simplify this process. The system helps you focus on class goals and automates routine tasks: checking tests, collecting statistics and generating reports.

System development begins with a discussion of the goals and functionality of the future product, as well as the LMS specification. After that, based on the terms of reference, a project architecture is created, which includes all key components: test and course constructor, reporting and analytics, personal account and other elements.

At the next stage, an interface is thought over and designed that correctly reflects the architecture of the product. Standard user roles (administrator, teacher, student) and behaviors are set. If necessary, they are modified, for example, teachers can have different levels of access. A basic set of functions is created, which is tested in the future: End-to-end, usability, modular, etc.

If necessary, a convenient application for iOS / Android is also being developed, which simplifies access to the LMS from mobile devices.

To use the system, no specific skills or knowledge are required – they have a simple, intuitive interface, where all the elements are built according to the principle of elementary logic.

Another important feature of the LMS is that the system allows you not only to manage courses and lessons, but also to integrate other plugins, modules and services, in particular for webinars, communication and correspondence (instant messengers and e-mail). Based on the learning outcomes, reports and recommendations for further development will be formed for each student.

There are three main functions that the system performs:

1. Creation of an effective curriculum and verification of assignments.
2. Formation of a single knowledge base to which all program participants will have access.
3. Monitoring and assessing student progress.

The set of standard modules can be supplemented with gamification elements and include interactive games, tournament tables, videos and other content. The introduction of playful forms will help users to quickly get involved in the learning process and make it interesting.

In addition to overall progress, the analytics data collected by the LMS helps understand which courses were the most difficult for learners, how long it took to learn them, and how often users log in.

LMS allows you to build a unified information environment, form a training course and analyze its progress. Students can independently choose a specific section of the course and quickly master it. After that, users will be able to check their knowledge: tests, exams and special simulators.

AVADA MEDIA designs scalable LMS that adapt to the needs of each student and take distance learning to a whole new level. They have a flexible interface and wide functionality, and also automate critical processes such as certification or training.

The implementation of the Learning Management System has many benefits, namely:

• Start learning quickly. To interact with the LMS, users only need registration and a stable Internet connection – the training program can start at any convenient time. Access to the shared database is not restricted in any way.
• Formation of individual programs. Curricula are created and adapted to the individual needs of students, taking into account their progress, speed of learning, specifics of activities, etc.
• Complete database. All study materials form a database that program participants can use 24/7.

• Process automation. LMS frees up the time that the teacher needs to spend on routine operations, for example, checking tests, generating reports, notifying about deadlines, assigning online lessons, and more.
• Integration with other programs. To increase the effectiveness of training, LMS integrates with various services and modules, for example, programs for webinars and online conferences, instant messengers, etc.

The AVADA MEDIA team develops modern LMS that not only improve the qualifications of employees and help effectively train participants in the training program, but also save business resources. Universities actively use the system to provide the necessary information to students who take the course and take exams remotely.

LMS allows you to build the most convenient training format, simplifies access to content and minimizes the cost of organizing the educational process.
