Learning Management Systems
Personal WorkspaceLearning Management System: (LMS)
The LMS comes preconfigured to support different types of online group sites, including: course sites, project sites, and portfolio sites. Each site type contains a unique selection of roles and tools, designed to facilitate group interaction in the designated context. In addition, users have their own personal workspace in which to collect and organize their resources, maintain a personal calendar, web page or blog, and view aggregate information across all their group sites.
Personal Workspace ...
* Each user in the LMS gets his/her own personal workspace site. This personal workspace is used to manage personal account settings, search for joinable course, project or portfolio sites, store documents for editing and sharing with others, search other users' profiles and view upcoming events and announcements.
The institution can configure the tools it wishs to make available to users within their personal workspace.
Course Sites ..
* Use course sites in the LMS to teach online courses, facilitate online training, or to supplement courses you're already teaching in the classroom.
Course sites offer an extensive selection of tools used to support teaching & learning. Many of the tools integrate with each other to enhance the ease with which an instructor can build and facilitate the course, and to enhance the student experience when attending and contributing to the course.
Project Sites ...
* Use project sites in the LMS to collaborate with fellow instructors, support research projects, target communications toward groups of users at your institution, or encourage students to engage in group project, clubs, organizations or extracurricular activities.
Your institution gets to decide which tools you wish to make available to project sites.
Portfolio Sites ..
* Portfolio sites contain a suite of web-based tools that allow users to store, organize and present digital artifacts representing evidence of their teaching, learning or institutional achievement. The LMS suite of portfolio tools is designed to facilitate the creation of portfolios for self-presentation, reflection, teaching and learning as well as course, program and institutional assessment.
