Depending on which one you use, you'll gain access to features that make virtual teaching easier, such as visual curriculum builders, student management tools, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we'll explain what an LMS is. We'll also break down the core features you should look for in an LMS if you want to launch an online classroom. Let's get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Learning_Management_System\"><\/span>What Is a Learning Management System?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An LMS is any type of online platform that provides you with the tools you need to <strong>publish online courses<\/strong> and manage virtual classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you've ever registered for and taken an online course, then you've used an LMS. There are several benefits to having a dedicated platform for digital teaching over other tools, such as Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few of these include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An LMS may provide you with tools to track student progress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can publish lessons that students can complete asynchronously.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students can access the platform at any time to check on their progress or review materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although videoconferencing is a powerful tool, it's not one that's custom-built for learning. If you want to ensure your students get as much out of your classes as possible, then you need to use a system that adapts to their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, your LMS should make\u00a0your<em>\u00a0<\/em>job easier. With an online classroom, you shouldn't have to spend hours scheduling calls, grading quizzes, or ensuring that students have access to materials. If you choose the right platform, it'll take care of all those tasks for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_For_In_an_LMS_3_Key_Features\"><\/span>What to Look For In an LMS (3 Key Features)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/teachable-vs-skillshare-vs-memberpress\/\" title=\"\">every LMS is different<\/a>, the best solutions share some similar core functionality that make running an online classroom easier. Here are three top features you should look out for when choosing your platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Ability_to_Set_Up_Multiple_Courses\"><\/span>1. The Ability to Set Up Multiple Courses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/thinkific-vs-teachable-vs-memberpress\/\" title=\"\">whichever LMS you choose<\/a> will enable you to create multiple distinct courses. By <em>course<\/em>, we mean unique lessons that you can combine into a more complex curriculum:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"469\" height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/online-course.png\" alt=\"Adding courses to your website.\" class=\"wp-image-23828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/online-course.png 469w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/online-course-300x146.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This feature is critical for several reasons. With multiple courses, you can scale your online education platform and keep students interested and engaged. It also opens up the possibility of having several teachers create their own lessons and manage their own sets of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if you're teaching classes synchronously (meaning that students and their instructor all log in at the same time and lessons are conducted in real-time), being able to create multiple courses can enable you to maintain designated terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also create beginner, intermediate, and advanced level courses, offer classes in multiple languages, and more. When there are no limits on the number of courses you can publish, the possibilities are practically endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_A_Full_Student_Management_System\"><\/span>2. A Full Student Management System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most complex part of any LMS is student or user management. In most cases, you'll want to restrict access to courses to registered and\/or paying pupils, which means that you'll need a tool to implement a membership system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can't just use any membership system. For an online classroom, you want a tool that includes advanced features such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enabling students to track their progress across multiple courses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing students with access to test results (if applicable)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring that students only have access to courses they meet the requirements for<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It's easy enough to post learning materials on your WordPress website and just let visitors check them out as they see fit. However, a true LMS should enable you to provide a more structured classroom experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although WordPress itself is not a learning platform, it does support a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/5-best-lms-plugins-for-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fantastic LMS plugins<\/a>, including our own <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/sell-courses-on-wordpress\/\" title=\"\">MemberPress Courses<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-progress.png\" alt=\"Enabling users to check their course progress.\" class=\"wp-image-23829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-progress.png 856w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-progress-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-progress-768x325.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>With the right plugin, you can set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/how-to-make-an-lms-site-on-wordpress\/\" title=\"\">comprehensive online learning hub<\/a> for a lot less money than most proprietary solutions. These tools typically build on WordPress' native user management features to make keeping track of students a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Payment_Processing\"><\/span>3. Payment Processing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running online classes can be a profitable business. You may be surprised how many people are willing to pay for quality learning materials for traditional academic subjects, business skills, and even hobbies such as painting or woodworking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever LMS you choose should provide you with the option to set up paid memberships for your students or offer courses for free as per your specific needs. That means your platform should include payment processing capabilities:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"972\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-payment.png\" alt=\"Paying for a course using MemberPress Courses.\" class=\"wp-image-23830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-payment.png 972w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-payment-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/student-payment-768x387.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Depending on which LMS you choose, you'll have access to different payment processing methods. What matters most is that you use an option that offers the methods your students prefer and trust. For example, PayPal is a very popular gateway most online shoppers are familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally important is that you have the freedom to set the prices for your own courses or memberships. After all, an LMS should enable you to develop an online learning experience tailored to your vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LMSs come in all shapes and sizes. What's important is that you choose one that includes all the <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/new-assignments-and-gradebook\/\">features you need to launch and manage your courses<\/a> successfully. If you use WordPress, then we recommend trying out MemberPress Courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courses is a MemberPress add-on that takes our existing membership plugin and <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-wordpress-membership-site-for-selling-courses-a-step-by-step-guide\/\" title=\"\">adds key LMS functionality<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The ability to set up multiple unique courses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A full student management system with progress reporting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment processing via PayPal and other trusted gateways.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any questions about Learning Management Systems?
