LABSIM LMS INTEGRATION Linking Labsim to Your LMS Saves Time for Both You and Your Students LABSIM LMS INTEGRATION Linking LabSim to your LMS saves time for both you and your students How Does it Benefit Your Students? Rather than having to log into your school’s Learning Management System (LMS) as well as LabSim, Single Sign-On (SSO) allows students to follow a link in your LMS that takes them directly into LabSim. You can choose whether to take them into the course in general or to a specific resource in the course – giving your students one place to go to accomplish their assignments and saving them time. How Will it Help You as an Instructor? In addition to SSO capabilities, LabSim can also return scores from specific resources in LabSim. With only a few simple steps, you can eliminate the need to export scores from one platform to another. Let LabSim take care of the reporting for you so you can spend more time focusing on your students. How Does It Work? LabSim integrates with any LMS that supports LTI 1.1*. You (or someone at your school) enters a few lines of code into your LMS settings. These lines of code specify: • What LabSim course your students will go to when they follow the link • Which specific resource in LabSim your students will access • Whether scores should be sent for integration with your LMS How Do I Get Started? For more detailed instructions on how to link LabSim with your LMS, please refer to the back of this brochure. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us at 1-800-877-4889.

  • The Use of Schoology As Learning Management System
    iTELL (Indonesia Technology Enhanced Language Learning) THE USE OF SCHOOLOGY AS LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Suhandhini [email protected] Language Development Center Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto Abstract Learning Management System (LMS) is now commonly used by teachers or educators to have collaborative learning through online learning (or e-learning) courses. This learning is aimed to have a lean, efficient, and organized training experience. One of the systems, Schoology, even called the award-winning learning management system, allows the educators to create their own features to add assignments, quiz, grade papers, and facilitates open discussions with students. It also provides updates on assignments, notifications, and discussions/ resource forum through group. Founded by Jeremy Friedman, Ryan Hwang and Tim Trinidad in 2007, this LMS provides students real time formative assessment feedback upon submission. This study explores the use of Schoology as an LMS and the perceptions of students in using it during the courses. Results showed that students were intrinsically contented with the easiness of its use as the basic functions of an LMS. Beside the engagement between teacher and student, teacher and students, it also provides an access code to students’ parents to check students’ progress. However, the use of Schoology as LMS surely has some weaknesses. One of them is about authenticity; it cannot be guaranteed that students did their assignments by themselves since they did not do it under the teacher’s supervision. Some students were also worried about their privacy; therefore, they were not very open in case of being carelessly revealed or copied by others. Keywords: Learning Management System (LMS), Schoology.

  • Free Applications
    1 Free Applications Hundreds of Apps with Potential to Enhance Professional Development, Technical Assistance, and Dissemination Activities and Results By Larry Edelman [email protected] Note: This document (v. 9 – 2/28/11) is updated frequently. Updates and related discussions are posted at: http://exploringtech.wordpress.com/ Why should we use technology for PD, TA, and Dissemination? • In particular, technology can help us to efficiently, effectively, and creatively: 1. Create content; 2. Share knowledge; and 3. Build and support relationships. We should consider ALL applications that are available to us. This includes applications that are expensive, moderately priced, inexpensive (shareware), and free (freeware). This includes software that we download to our computers and software that runs on the web. Some expensive applications enable us to us to communicate in very unique and effective ways, while the functions of other expensive applications can be easily replicated, or even improved upon, by the use of freeware. Likewise, some free applications are all we need to get the job done, while other free applications have significant limitations or involve the use of paid advertisements that detract from our purposes. I use some relatively expensive applications for tasks such as video editing and authoring online learning modules. But I also use many free applications for things such as document sharing, web conferencing, video conferencing, media transcoding, audio editing, screen capturing, media posting, and building and hosting wikis, blogs, and web sites. Why, in particular, should we explore free applications? • Sometimes, free applications are all that we need. Why purchase or license expensive software when there are free solutions? • The budgets in PD and TA programs are being dramatically reduced.
