How a school LMS goes beyond surface learning for students

E-learning, LMS, Teachers

When teaching to a class full of students it can be a bit difficult to truly personalize the learning experience for each.

Is a learning portal different from an LMS?

E-learning, Higher Ed, K-12, LMS

A learning management system is a software that educational institutions buy in order to manage diverse aspects of online education.

E-learning, LMS

There are LMS vendors that describe their products as being user friendly, sometimes that is nowhere near the truth.
