1. Assessment. Evaluation, testing, and assessment engines help you build a pro-
gram that becomes more valuable over time. Its a good idea to have an assessment feature that enables authoring within the product and includes assessments as part of each course. Assessment tool should be integrated with grade tool, to automate the learning results evaluation.2. Skills management. A skills management component enables organizations to
measure training needs and identify improvement areas based on workers’ collec- tive competence in specified areas. This feature is important fore-learning train- ing within work environments.3. Configurability. An LMS should easy to configure to adjust the need and taste of
institutions or individuals, such as modifying the website appearance, add- inginserting institution logos, and so forth without the need of advanced pro- gramming inside the LMS scripts. The limited use features include:1. Online communities. A community learning or collaboration component supports
communication across an organization through chat rooms, bulletin boards, new- sgroups, online support, help desks, and so forth. This capability lets learners sup- plement information from instructors and online courses with knowledge from other learners. The online community features will eliminate critics that technolo- gy use will reduce humanity aspects in e-learning. Technology should not reduce but increase the connectivity and collaboration among instructors and students.2. Content management capabilities. By this feature administrators or instructors
can easily to develop, manage, and reuse learning objects between different e- learning systems or different course within the same LMS.D. The Use of the LMS
How the LMS is implemented usually is left to the individual university — or sometimes, the individual instructor. This position, in fact, is common in the software industry. It’s practically an axiom for companies to know their products are succeeding when custom- ers use their software in ways that were never fully imagined by the programmers Ull- man Rabinowitz, 2004. However, that attitude assumes that users of the system explore every function in a crea- tive fashion. While such a paradigm might work for other kinds of software, instructors usually don’t have the time or inclination to explore some new technology. Also, the In- structional technology departments of most universities are not prepared to train their lecturers on anything beyond the simplest use of new software, while the companies themselves usually avoid suggesting a specific pedagogy with their software in order to appeal to the broadest possible audience. Consequently, how a CMS effects the organiza- tion, implementation and even the meaning of a class has rarely been explored.Parts
