An LMS offers many tools to the medical educator for teaching a particular topic and the learner for learning the same. It offers a consistent interface, both to staff and students. It’s easy to tailor the experience for different groups. For example, you could choose to make available an assignment to one group but not to another.
The LMS is integrated – all the functions and services are provided via a single access point, rather than being discrete components as is the case in many intranet solutions. This makes it simpler for the learner to keep focused on the learning task. The LMS makes it easier to organise groups of learners, enabling class-based discussions, group work and peer support.
Even though conventionally the LMS was predominantly thought of as a tool to facilitate learning at a distance, more and more examples of their use are now found supporting learners in the classroom and on the campus mixing face-to-face and online activities such as: Searching content across various subjects, chapters, topics and learning resources
- Delivery of online courseware in resident and distributed settings
- Delivery of individual learning experiences such as individual lessons, practical
exercises, and supporting material
- Enrolment, registration, and attendance tracking
- Scheduling of course learning events, learners, and resources
- Delivery of student assessments and course critiques and the collection of responses
- Tracking of learner progress
- Virtual classrooms
- Collaboration between learners
- Record of learners’ acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies.
