Features of the LMS (User)

In a single page, they are presented their personal training curriculum tailored to their specific needs.

Finally, all the information ONLY for them is presented: Notes, Transcripts, Learning Plan, and Discussion Topics.

The ultimate completion date for the course, the percentage of the course already completed the current score and finally the reward points are all tracked and reported here.  

This section can easily be customized to include other information.

These courses are managed on a group basis, with each group identified by ANY characteristic you want to manage by. These groups and their characteristics are created instantly by the administrator so your training program can be as dynamic as you need.

Finally, to avoid learning gaps, the system automatically checks all prerequisites for courses before a student is allowed to enroll in a course. If the prerequisites are not met, the student can automatically petition to have the prerequisites waived by an administrator.

It can be used in conjunction with normal email or used alone to handle all the correspondence within the Learning environment.

90% of the normal correspondence is sent automatically by the system based on the guidelines established by the administrators. .

Educate-Global LMS does this in 2 ways. First, emails are sent out automatically to the students and supervisors if certain goals are not achieved.

Second, students are awarded points for each achievement, such as completing an exercise, signing up for a course.

The reward system is controlled by the administrator so it can be aligned to meet organizational goals and strategies.

It gives the student their overall GPA, the total number of units completed and a complete listing of all their finished courses including their overall class ranking.

This information can also be used by management to evaluate and identify employees for promotions, benchmark educational performances, etc.

A series of open ended text fields can be customized by the administrator to allow the student to change or add information about themselves. This info is displayed in the discussion boards, chats, etc.

Students can also manage their own passwords and custom features like preferred language type.

It is completely up to the administrator to determine what fields can be modified by the student so your organization specific information is protected!

Notes can be found by keyword or by subject matter. This allows students to continue to build their knowledge over time and have the information they received in training available whenever they need it.

Only those courses which have been approved for their curriculum are displayed to the student; either automatically based on group properties or by petition to a supervisor.. 

The student can also search the entire catalog by entering in the course name or keywords to find courses on specific subjects. The catalog can handle all types of courses including on line, video, CD or live courses.

The course policies are all clearly stated, and can be easily changed by the administrator.

Finally, each course has user reviews which are specific to your organization. These reviews are both free form text and a numeric quantification so an overall assessment of the course is available

Common problems can be addressed by a discussion with FAQ and answers presented by subject matter.
 

This is all managed by the administrator.

They can email questions or call an 800 number for support.

The student can read every conversation, see the profile of the people participating, or can customize the board to only show topics which are of immediate interest to them or to their current job position.

They can chat with a tutor and other students on line to discuss problems; or they can participate in an instructor led discussion on a subject or receive "live training"; they can participate in group projects or assignments from anywhere around the globe.

An instructor can even take over the student's machine to illustrate a lesson.

You can assign and track resources, instructors, students, locations, etc.  

This can also be used to capture the costs associated with a live course.

This is used by the employee to manage the future of their career by showing them what courses are needed and allows them to petition the administrator to add these courses to their list of approved courses.

A separate library can be created, or you can simply link the student to your existing organization library.
