A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs.

In simple words, it is an application that helps you organize and conduct the lessons.
Do all LMS platforms offer the necessary features needed today?
In most platforms we will encounter the basic functions of an LMS such as assignments, course syllabus and assessment – rating.
But are these enough for the student to have a proper and complete education experience?
Let’s see what we need in the year 2022 and not 2002, since we have also experienced the new situations that have changed the way of learning and the demands of students.
Stop wasting valuable time having to use numerous apps to conduct a class!
Nowadays, it’s unacceptable for a student, to have to log into the LMS to find out the course schedule in order to open another app to join the video call (“wait a minute for it to download…”), and at the same time open another application for an interactive whiteboard. Do we want to do a little quiz? Good luck….
And what If I want to take notes? Guess what? Another app…
And all this just to have a forty-minute lesson without even mentioning the asynchronous learning.
The LMS should be great on smartphones
Recent researches show that 60% of internet users use their mobile phones, and if we look at the new generation, this percentege is even greater. Like it or not, the fact is that the new generation has grown up on smartphones and tablets.
Having this in mind, it is unimaginable that I cannot use the educational platform from my mobile or that half of the interactive features are missing. Or even worse needing so much zoom that I’ll think I’m on google maps!
Not to mention about instant notifications for teachers – students and parents.
I don’t need my teacher’s facebook, viber, skype, instagram, cell phone …
Communication with the teacher is very important and often necessary. But this should not put the teacher in a difficult position and have to give his personal messenger, viber, mobile phone, etc. Nor, of course, should the student or the parents share sensitive personal data such as their email or phone number.
Communication must be secure but at the same time instant, it should not have a speed that rivals that of a carrier pigeon.
We need a LMS platform that won’t waste my time
What we need is a platform that will improve the classical aproach to learning experiemce, will give access to past material, online tests and quizzes. And obviously to be able attending a class immediately.
I don’t want to remember to log into the LMS, to check my class calendar and open the video call in an another app, and a third party app for the interactive whiteboard.
“We have managed to send a man to the moon and we don’t have the LMS we need?”
…we hear you asking.….
That’s why we’ve spent a lot of time and we followed the advises from experts in education to create a comprehensive tool that address their 21st century problems in modern learning platforms.
An integrated system – All in one
Imagine an LMS that, as a student, I will get notified for my next class, or my homework’s deadline (on my mobile phone, like the notifications from messenger or Instagram or discord, or Viber, etc.), I can immediately enter the class with a video call without having to download any other application!
Mobile app is not an afterthought
Although it’s hard to find an LMS that is easily accessible with all its features on mobile, this is already here!
But it is important to see how we can make the most of the mobile phone.
That’s why the Classware application gives its users the convenience of one-click access to all functions with additional features such as offline mode, the same user experience with the web mode allowing instant access to video call, e-notes, and the interactive whiteboard.
Now you can do all the LMS staff right from your mobile ( including any distance learning sessions) with easy and direct communication and collaboration with your tutors, teachers, professors.
Easy and direct communication

Can I speak with him directly and not by sending emails? Check ✓
I don’t need to have any other app? Check ✓
If necessary, can I make a video call? Check ✓
Can we exchange files? Check ✓
And all these directly from my mobile phone? Check Check Check ✓✓✓
Are you still with emails?
Are you ready to try Classware?
Now you can expand and try a new learning exeprience. Remote students or with dissabilities preventing them having access to your services, now the can join hybrid classrooms, connecting to physical interactive whiteboards.
Raise the bar for your institution’s digital experience, allowing educators and students to focus on what really matters, teaching and learning.
In front of me I have an interactive board that we all participate in (students – teachers) in real time, with files and tests that the teacher has prepared for this session. I also have personal notes that I can keep and use for my homework (an electronic notebook).
And all these are always accessible if I want to revise them again.
We have prepared an amazing journey for your modern learning experience !
