A Learning Management System (LMS) or Course Management System (CMS) is a platform that integrates technology, teaching, and study. It is a digital environment where course administrators lay out the structure, syllabus, and guidelines of a training program.
An LMS is a space for educators to set lesson plans, host content, track progress and attainment, and directly teach. For students, an LMS is the place to study, complete assessments and assignments, and interact with their peers. In short, an LMS is a hyper-accessible, flexible eClassroom, which moves and adapts to the needs of educational organizations.
Our LMS is specifically suited for short courses, extra lessons, tutoring and how-to type of training. Don’t under estimate this system as it is still very powerful LMS but we will recommend it for smaller education companies, training centres, bloggers who want to teach and will also suite an induvidual or entrepreneur like a business or professional coach to deliver their content to prospecting clients.
Easily create & sell courses, deliver quizzes, award certificates, manage users, download reports, and so much more with this system. By using our LMS you have access to the latest e-learning industry trends for creating robust learning experiences. Although this LMS is 100% mobile friendly & responsive it does not have IOS, Andriod, Windows and Mac Apps. This Learning Management System (LMS) is trusted by companies, universities, training organizations, and entrepreneurs worldwide for creating (and selling) their online courses and is very popular choice.
ADMINISTRATOR DASHBOARD
Our LMS ProPanel Dashboad enhances your admin experience by consolidating reporting and assignment management, giving you the ability to send course specific communications, and showing real-time activity of your courses!
- See real-time activity as users take your courses.
- Approve, delete, and manage all assignments & essays.
- View and download user course progress & quiz results.
POWERFUL COURSE BUILDER
The drag & drop Course Builder allows you to easily create multi-layer courses. It is also the only course builder on the market that let’s you re-use your content, making it easy for you to spin-up courses! You can rename the labels to anything you wish. For example, you can rename “Lessons” to “Modules”.
Break-up courses into sections, lessons, topics, and quizzes.
The course builder provides an easy, intuitive way to build out your courses. You can add new sections, lessons, topics & quizzes without ever leaving the page. In addition to adding content, you can also use the course builder to rearrange lessons, topics & quizzes.
Some easy access features you will see in the course builder is:
- The total number of steps in the course.
- This is comprised of all lessons, topics & quizzes that have been assigned to the course.
- An “Undo” link, after you’ve made your first edit.
- A link to “Expand All” or “Collapse All” course steps.
- This makes it easier to see all steps at once, and more quickly rearrange, add or remove course steps.
- Immediately following this, you’ll see all of your course content. This is where you’ll spend the majority of your time building out your course.
There are multiple ways to add content with the course builder. How you go about adding your content will depend on a few things:
- what type of content you’re adding.
- personal preference.
Section headings provide a simple way to break your course into sections. They don’t contain any actual content, and are simply a text-only heading that can be placed between any two lessons. They work in a similar fashion to chapters in a book.
Aside from section headings, lessons will likely be the first type of content you’ll want to add to your course. You can create brand new lessons directly from the course builder, or add existing lessons that you’ve already created.
Aside from section headings, lessons will likely be the first type of content you’ll want to add to your course. You can create brand new lessons directly from the course builder, or add existing lessons that you’ve already created.
Drag & drop: If you’d like to add lessons in a particular spot within your course, you can click & hold down your mouse, drag the lesson to the course builder in the spot you want it, and then release. This will place the lesson in your specified location within the course.
Quizzes can be added to lessons & topics, or as a final quiz to the course itself. Any combination of these will work. You can create new quizzes directly from the course builder, or pull in existing quizzes you’ve already created.

pdf

mp3
