What are some general features of an LMS?
Each of the LMS products we are considering share a number of features that we consider essential. Among these are the following: • Integration with Banner for automatic course creation and dynamic student enrollment • The ability to export and import courses using standards-compliant formats • The ability to easily migrate courses from one semester to the next • Internal blogs, wikis, and forums for collaborative student content creation and interaction • Support for uploading files and adding web links to courses • folder trees to organize course-related files • Word-like editing tools for adding content directly to a course • Grade books, with configurable grading scales, weighting, and grouping of assignments.
