How can a learning management system or any eLearning technology provide schools with aid and support?
With budget constraints looming over primary and high school learning systems across the country, learning management systems provide a cost-effective enrichment to school curricula.
High school seniors are also facing tough choices this year. The annual Princeton Review survey, which polled over 15,000 students and parents, gave a sober report on the mental state of soon-to-be college students.
According to the report, over two-thirds of high school seniors have experienced high levels of stress over higher learning system admissions, and claim the economic downturn has directly influenced where they applied. Thirty-eight percent of polled students applied to colleges with lower tuition than they would have otherwise. And nearly nine out of ten respondents said financial aid will be essential to their attending a higher learning system.
In such a grim context, how do can educators expect to help young people succeed?
President Obama’s goal set in February announced that by 2020, the U.S. will have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. In order to get to that point, some creative thinking-out-of-the-box will need to occur.
Schools will need to think about ways to get the learning material and technology they need to keep America in the game.
And software providers will also need to think outside the box. That’s why Coggno is now providing free LMS service to public schools.
Online learning systems and collaborative tools can be combined with face-to-face group work to enrich student experience and develop IT skills.
School districts are finding that a learning management system is an effective way to keep costs down and students enrolled. But another enormous benefit of a pre-populated LMS is the sheer variety of classes offered. With a robust learning management system such as Coggno, schools have access to some of the best online courses available. Users are able to customize and upload content, courses, assignments, and more.
