Key features of a Learning Management System (LMS)

• Personalized Dashboard 

A personalized dashboard allows you to create dashboards for all course participants, making it easy for students, teachers, and admins to access the necessary information. For example, students can view their progress bars and track their assignments, while teachers and admins can easily manage courses, schedules, and training content.

• Progress Bars and Assignments Tracking

The solution displays a progress bar to track student progress through assignments tracking. 

• Functionality for Students, Teachers, and Admins

Ultimate Forms provides functionality for all users involved in the training process, including students, teachers, and admins. For example, students can access training content and track their progress, while teachers and admins can manage courses, schedules, and student assignments.

• Auto-Generated Email Notifications and Reminders

Ultimate Forms can be configured to send auto-generated email notifications and reminders to students, instructors, and admins. These alert messages help ensure everyone stays on track and up-to-date with course schedules and deadlines.

• Store Training Content, Including Videos and Documents

With Ultimate Forms, you can easily store training content, including videos and documents. Storage of content allows students to access training materials conveniently and helps ensure everyone can access the most up-to-date information.

• Setup Test Questions and Track Performance

You can create exam questions and monitor performance in relation to the course material using Ultimate Forms. Timely tests ensure that students retain their learning knowledge and give instructors and administrators crucial information to assess the training program's efficacy.

• Set up Courses and Schedules for Each Student

Ultimate Forms includes functionality for creating courses and schedules for individual students. Such customization helps to ensure that students receive the training they require in a timely and effective manner.
