Deploying a LMS at your school is naturally an enormous undertaking, it costs both time and money and no small amount of frustration and good management; it is seldom welcome to add further steps to the process. However, there are some important micro-steps and tricks that you can employ in your integration process to truly make it a success. Read on to find out more!
The e-learning industry is growing as there are always new players penetrating the market. Each LMS vendor has a unique selling offer, and your educational institutions has a unique set of needs. Wherever you turn, keep in mind that there is one type of LMSs that could be better in the long-term — one with a cloud-based architecture. Here are a number of reasons to opt for a cloud-based LMS for your school:
Creating a good training program for all the educators in your school isn’t always easy. You need a good team, plan the content, schedule the training, and much more. This seems exhausting, expensive and time-consuming, but it’s actually not. That’s why we’ve put together a simple and easy to follow guide on how to create your own LMS training program. Just remember: start small and keep on going!
How to increase LMS success using training? The first thing that you can do is to start thinking about what you want to achieve with the LMS and set your goals. Make sure to make your goals as specific as possible and time bound. Any LMS goal is connected in some way to how much and how well the system is being used in the school. This will be your foundation for LMS success.
There are many aspects that can influence the decision to change the current school learning management system, many voices to be heard, and many documents to be created during the process.

Adaptive learning is an ambitious objective of advanced pedagogical ideas and systems, and describes the ability of a learning system (in most cases digital) to adapt to the learning differences across individual students, as well as adapt to changes within the learning trajectory of individuals. Adaptive learning systems are part of quality LMSs and respond to subtle changes in a student’s comprehension of a subject.
When teaching to a class full of students it can be a bit difficult to truly personalize the learning experience for each. Of course, any good teacher will adapt and adjust the content to the class level, but it can’t be done at every student level. This is why LMSs come in handy to all the teachers and students that want to “scratch beyond the surface” and access a deeper learning level.
Montessori, Waldorf, adaptive learning, traditional learning… so many methods to choose from. Which is the best? But why should we have to choose, when we can take the best of every one. Here’s my take on the Montessori method with a more technological approach.
Teachers of students with highly involved parents tend to give greater attention to those students, and they are more likely to identify at earlier stages problems that might inhibit student learning. That’s why parents should be encouraged to get more involved in their children’s education. A school LMS does just that.
