Three levels of Administration

The Administration of the LMS has three distinct levels of administration which allows work to be distributed over many areas:

  1. Super Administrators have complete control over the system.

  2. Local Administrators are responsible for the daily monitoring and correspondence of groups of students assigned to them.

  3. Instructors have control over the students and information related only to their class.

Super Administration Workload

The super administrator can monitor and manage the workflow of each local administrator.

They see the work queue of each local administrator so they can balance workloads for maximum

They can assume the role of any local administrator if needed for vacation coverage, time off from work, etc.

Local Administration Work Queue

The local administrators have an inbox, which contains all the correspondence, which they need to resolve. . 

Work items include "Petitions" to waive certain course policies or prerequisites, "Course Failure Notifications", "Requests to Drop" required classes and "Enrollment or Course Completion Past Due Date" notices.

You can add customized notices that you want to receive, such as a course cost approval form prior to allowing a student to enroll in a course.

Global System Settings

Super Administrators can quickly set Overall System Parameters to match the strategy and policies of your training program.

Parameters such as the maximum number of courses a student can be enrolled in, the amount of reward points for various activities and the class ranking methodology can all be set or changed quickly.

Global Course Settings

Super Administrators can quickly set Overall Course Parameters, such as the Grading Scale, to make all courses conform to your standard policies.

Most importantly, you can set all the default notification parameters so the system automatically sends out pass enrollment, course failure, pass due date notices to both students and supervisors. In this way, the amount of time the administrator spends on routine tasks is minimized.

Entire new curriculums can be created and assigned instantly to students by adding a group property.  

The group properties are completely under the control of the super administrator who can define both the Properties and the characteristics related to each Property.

Student Group Manager

Students are quickly added to groups.

This defines their learning plan and allows tracking and reporting based on many different characteristics.

Since students can belong to many groups, you can benchmark individual performances to multiple indicators. 

Finally, based on the group properties assigned to each student, a unique learning plan is automatically created for each student to meet their specific needs.

Course Manager

As you add courses through the easy to follow wizard, the Global Course Parameters are set as the defaults.

You can then quickly change these to make the course policies unique for each course… or let all the defaults remain so each course has a consistent policy.

You can promote discussion by creating new Topics of Discussion, or purge inappropriate or old comments to keep the board easy to use and relevant.

Announcements

Announcements can be sent automatically, such as a welcome announcement, which explains how to get started to all new students, or as needed by selecting the student group or individual student to receive the information.

Reports

Reports can be viewed online or exported to Excel for additional manipulation. Standard Reports are custom created for your organization to meet your specific needs. You can also create your own custom reports by making standard queries. As long you have created the characteristics within your group properties, you can report on it.
