A year ago eu-LISA
decided to move from a SharePoint based e-learning platform for delivery
of training content to the Member States, to a Moodle based Learning Management
System.
On the 6th of
September, the first LMS platform-led training course (SIS II Operational
Training - Entry Level) took place. SIS II newcomers from Ireland and 13 other SIS II using Member States were intensely engaged and enjoyed their
blended learning experience.
The new eu-LISA Learning Management System for Member States
(eu-LISA LMS)
provides Member State participants with unlimited access to learning content (video sessions, classroom handouts, tests, additional
materials and resources). In addition, users have access to the eu-LISA course
catalogue and a calendar showing the foreseen training sessions for Member
States. e-courses will stay open long beyond the end of the training
session allowing each participant to return to all of the course material
whenever needed.
For trainers, the eu-LISA LMS is an opportunity to create and deliver
diverse learning content, to monitor student participation, and assess their
performance. There are different tools for the trainers that can be used to
prepare learning strategies aimed at helping Member State participants to
achieve the desired outcomes. Tools such as book, file, folder, URL, SCORM,
etc. help develop and provide different interactive study material. Activity
tools like assignment, database, forum, glossary, lesson, quiz, survey and wiki
tools are tailored to understand a student's progress in training and the
impact of the course at an individual level.
Work on further developments and enriching the e-courses available
on the new eu-LISA LMS will continue. We have only just left the starting line!
