Part 6 of 6: Key Features to Look for in an LMS: Classroom Management
Summary
Whether cloud-based or in-house hosted, a key feature to look for in an LMS is its ability to provide useful classroom management. Second, and of great benefit, are the progress tracking and notification features of a classroom management tool, such as: • Email notifications to students when it is time to enroll • Email notifications for class reminders, such as assignment completion and due dates • Enrolling students or inviting them to enroll A third benefit – and worth mentioning again – is having all of your training records in one place. Completion records from computer-based courses AND classroom training can be stored together, making reporting comprehensive and straightforward. Now, more than ever, the ability to manage your corporate training program in a single application for computer and classroom training is a valuable element in communicating and maintaining clear procedures and best practices, as well as overseeing employee compliance.
