Essential elements to building a course management system



A local college director recently noticed while reviewing the college’s most current six-month attendance records student numbers were lower for class attendance than the prior six months. This comparison raised further questions and in doing so he chose to send out an email to the entire college teaching staff asking questions if there were difficulties being experienced while teaching the students and if so to list them so they can be addressed at the next monthly meeting.  

Two weeks went by and when the evening of the college teacher meeting came about the arena was a full house as everyone was on board and accounted for. The college director gathered the many pieces of documentation and began the evening discussion. Shortly into the discussion one of the professors mentioned how her students have frequently complained about classroom connectivity then another professor spoke up and mentioned his students have complained about errors appearing when trying to enter the blog; the list of comments went on for what seemed like one professor to another throughout the arena. 

The above may or may not be an exact scenario of your college but things like this can and will happen for many reasons. When education growth takes place technology can be ignored, and that causes a problem for the teacher and those who are to be taught by it. In the above example a simple way to correct the situation is to provide the solution of a better more structured course management system that can handle your learning environment atmosphere. In the above example it is a college environment and there are course management systems that can be used for your college level teaching to ensure security, higher attendance numbers, computer Internet connectivity, and more important students will have the ability to be involved with virtual learning at different levels. 

Edvance360 provides your college with a course management system to create the exact classroom module structure using video lectures and URL resources. Within your module structure you can create quizzes and testing that is safely secured. You can add specific widgets such as group weekly discussions, blog discussion, and projects. Using the course management system you have the ability to track students by grades so you can stay aware of how each person does on quizzes and tests. This is a helpful item as it does show when a student obtains a specific low grade or failing mark. With the course management system it will give you the teacher ability to speak with the student personally and guide him or her with knowledge so they can improve their class average and pass.
