2020 is the year which showed us how education and the corporate world has changed all of a sudden. No one ever thought that the school-going students, college-going teenagers, and white-collar professionals, will work in a blurry mix of<em> laptops, pyjamas and Zoom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Above is a report by UNESCO<\/strong> that figures that 1,379,344,914<\/strong> students (approx 80 per cent)<\/strong> of the world\u2019s learners are away from educational institutions due to global lockdown.<\/p>\n

Work from home is here to stay and educational institutions have realised that it will be a long time when students will go back to school in fall. Institutions who are looking to kick start or resume their learning with an online platform should go for an online Learning Management System.<\/p>\n

Your Learning Management System should be integrated with in-built AI features<\/strong> that could dig into deep data analysis and personalization. Artificial Intelligence is a powerful data processing tool that provides an interactive and immersive e-Learning course delivery.<\/p>\n

Intrusion of AI into LMS simplifies a large number of tasks like smart course personalisation, course content localisation, and success evaluation for tutors and learners. AI-based LMS enables comprehensive BI reporting and automatic subtitle generation in the content. This will help the learners from any community across the globe can participate in the learning tutorial.<\/p>\n

It automates and scales complex workflows like online exam proctoring by using AI-based proctoring solutions – computer vision and deep learning mechanism. This technology monitors thousand examinees and figures out suspicious activities with ease as compared to human proctors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Physical Boundary is often a problem with students in remote areas as they can not afford for primary level education also. Through web forecasting, tutors and instructors can impart learning to students across any region of the country and even beyond the nations\u2019 boundary.<\/p>\n

Very soon, online learning will become a new norm and the future of the education system across all the countries. The COVID 19 outbreak has garnered more students worldwide than a physical classroom.<\/p>\n

Students won\u2019t have to take time to reach the traditional classrooms and lecture hall to attend the live classes. Perhaps, with a selected LMS, an educator can deliver high-quality lectures from anywhere, anytime, and on any device.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are planning to have an LMS, then it must fulfil the needs of both the institution and instructors. Being safe is the primary concern of students and parents in this COVID 19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

A well designed LMS should come integrated with several essential features and functionalities. There should be an automated alert mechanism<\/strong> within the LMS through which new assignments, their deadlines, forum posts etc. can be uploaded or sent to the students on time.<\/p>\n

With these initiatives, students will actively take part in online courses. Apart from this, there should be short tutorials on the homepage to show ways on how to submit assignments, check their respective grades, take part in a discussion forum etc.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What we need for an LMS is a mobile device that connects the learners and mentors at one place. An LMS that is mobile-optimized will help the learners to decide when and where to study these course materials and incentivise participation.<\/p>\n

The unpredictability of this pandemic can not be ignored, and hence this kind of flexibility and accessibility is most welcome in your LMS. You need to integrate learning activities via smartphones, tablets and smartwatches.<\/p>\n

This will leverage the hidden but unique capabilities of these device types and hence result in higher retention and engagement rates.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The COVID 19 outbreak has instilled a new way of learning into the students. Globally, around 1.2 billion<\/a> students are taking online education out of their classroom. This has been possible only because of the basic necessity and not so sophisticated tool – mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Virtual classroom experience offers the students to view the contents visually and interact with other students and educators via chat and audio. It provides the same aura and environment as the real classroom offers.<\/p>\n

LMS allows the students to complete assignments and takes quizzes through their smartphones and collaborate in different ways. Students can view grades and course materials and never feel a deterioration in their learning skills.<\/p>\n

Also, students can clear their queries during the session and can learn if the learners leave the session at any point of time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Develop single or multi-user modes for training sessions and present to the learners highly specialised real-word environments infused with AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can sharpen your competitive edge with an enterprise-grade LMS integrated with AR and VR. With this, learners can easily access materials via VR headsets and web browser.<\/p>\n

In this COVID time, single or multi-user modes for training sessions can be quite beneficial for both the learners and educators. Instructors can also create in-depth reports featuring the learner’s performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
