Web Presence Overview Lesson

This book explores options for creating a web presence and ideas about what you can include and how to optimize its usefulness.

Learning Management Systems

Learning Management Systems (LMS) include tools like Moodle, Edmodo (social learning network), or Blackboard. These provide more robust features like assessment tools and are designed to be a central part of the classroom, typically used for blended or online courses; however, they can function in other ways as well.

Some of the other benefits of these include added security with required logins, self-grading quizzes and data reporting, conducting discussion forums, assigning and collecting work, and the ability to form groups.

Some downsides include difficulty with users remembering their login info, more skill and time required for creating/ updating/ managing, and in some cases the reliability or cost of the service.
