LMS Tool Types

This video series comes from our OLLIE: Online Learning 101 course. Participants utilize different LMS tools to build their own "practice course" in the LMS of their choice. As we progress, we overview the different tool types in the major LMSs, so that participants can get a good sense of what is available and the differences between those.

Note: We focus on Moodle, which has by far the most management tools available to a teacher of the dominant LMSs. While your own LMS might or might not have these features, it is good to understand what is available within an LMS for the purposes of managing the classroom.
