A Learning Management System, or LMS, refers to the software or system that manages the organization and delivery of online learning tools in a virtual community. There are many different tools available in the LMS that the instructor can use to support their students through online learning. Viewing analytics and data can be extremely helpful for teachers to prepare for the learning needs of their students. Communication tools such as email, instant messenger and discussion posts are imperative for a virtual classroom. I like to keep in contact with all parents and students so I think news blasts or bulletin boards are extremely useful. Of course there are the necessities such an online gradebook, dropbox for students to submit assignments, class lists and calendar. In addition, having the import/export feature is helpful to the teacher so that not so much time is wasted creating the same assignment in different courses. All of these tools are beneficial and help create an efficient learning environment for the teacher and students.
