Learning Management System (LMS) Features

The Learning Management System (LMS) is the software that allows for web based training to take place. We use an open source software package that is currently used by many universities and companies around the world, thus providing a non-proprietary product that is secure, robust and comprehensive. It is suitable for 100% online classes as well as supplementing face-to-face learning.

Some of the features offered for web based training include:
  • Course material can be presented through video, Flash, text, HTML or any other means available via the Internet.
  • Flexible array of course activities - Forums, Quizzes, Glossaries, Resources, Choices, Surveys, Assignments, Chats, Workshops and Student Blogs.
  • Full user logging and tracking - activity reports for each student are available with graphs and details about each course (last access, number of times read) as well as a detailed "story" of each students involvement including postings etc on one page.
  • Question pages include Multiple choice, T/F, numeric, short answer and essay.
  • Teachers can add an "enrolment key" to their courses to keep out non-students. They can give out this key face-to-face or via personal email etc. Each person requires only one account for the whole server - each account can have different access.
  • Teachers can enroll students manually if desired.
  • Teachers can unenroll students manually if desired, otherwise they are automatically unenrolled after a certain period of inactivity (set by the admin).
  • Each person requires only one account for the whole server - each account can have different access.
