The EasyTutor Learning Management System (LMS) provides additional support for organizations that develop EasyTutor courses
and their students. Unlike other systems that are commercially available, the EasyTutor LMS was also designed to reflect the needs of
an online training vendor. As a result, it provided two types of functions:
- Those used by the students' organizations to track, control, and report student progress and performance
- Those used by the vendor to control license usage
Even without the LMS, EasyTutor courses have the ability to display exam summary screens that report a student's performance on an exam and route
the student to remedial lessons. Bookmarks are taken automatically so that students can return to their most recent points within a session.
With the LMS, a student can create any number of bookmarks. These are global, letting a student begin a course at work and finish it at home.
Menus are colored-coded to distinguish between courses not started, courses in progress, and courses completed. In addition, the LMS lets
authorized Training Administrators within the student's organization do the following:
- Create, update, and delete student profiles that assign the student a user ID and password and identify those with administration authority.
- Create custom menus for individual students or groups of students (such as all computer operators) to limit what courses
are available and recommend a preferred sequence.
- Generate reports showing which courses a student has completed and the student's progress within unfinished courses. Student reports
can also show exam results.
- Generate reports showing all students who have taken a specified course or exam.
- Check the status of the organization's course licenses.
The functions available to vendors implement a concurrent user license environment, in which each customer purchases a license that restricts
the number of students who may be active at any one time during a specified term. Separate licenses may be sold for each course and/or three levels of
packages:
- A series, which includes multiple courses covering a single topic (such as a programming language)
- A combination package, which includes multiple courses covering multiple topics
- A library, which includes all courses offered by the vendor
