In today’s scenario, academic institutions are striving to find the right combination of students, faculties, protocols and systems to manage their learning programs. Learning management systems (LMS) are becoming an interface for handling course registration, managing course contents, assessing students through assignments, conducting quizzes and exams, for smooth functioning of institute administration, evaluation and report generation. In general, LMS/E-Learning serves as a means for acquiring the knowledge using the help of technologies e.g. Internet and Interactive based over the traditional ways; thereby enables learning over a wide spectrum with higher efficiency. Technical Education Institutions (TEI) in India is dependent on classroom teaching for syllabus coverage. Faculties put in lot of effort to manage, store and reuse the course material for repeating the course in next semester. This system shall act as a central space for student-teacher interaction outside classroom and also cater to challenges faced by student, faculty and management in day to day events of college. In the LMS process, faculties can upload course contents like lecture notes, e-books, assignment, quizzes and mid-semester while the student on the other hand can access the same using their login details. Here we analyze various features of the LMS and how they help students to gain academic excellence in comparison to traditional ways. Since only few survey reports are available in the literature that discuss the benefits of LMS in Indian education system, we sought to take help of the surveys conducted overseas in form of literature reports to have a retrospective view of benefits gained by the student due to LMS. LMS also serve as the most significant enterprise system for teaching and learning. |
