Can the process of learning the content be accelerated in an LMS if a user is already familiar with certain content?
– Answer: Nonflexible LMS require a student to pass through all the scheduled content and types of instruction. However, some systems check the previous knowledge before going through a certain theme block or a “lesson”. If the participants demonstrate that they are familiar with most of the content, they are allowed to “skip” to the next “lesson” or theme block. After that the check can be repeated for the content of the new lesson and once again allow the “skipping” to the next lesson if necessary. The described process significantly accelerates the learning process for the users who are already familiar with part of the content. It should be noted, of course, that there are also systems in which a participant is free to choose content on their own and only go through the lessons and instruction types they want to go through.
