Differentiate between proprietary and open-access LMS. Describe the components of a typical LMS. Recognize the strengths and constraints of an LMS. Evaluate assessment tools and capabilities of an LMS. Use technology and information resources to research issues in technology tools to manage to learn. Write clearly and concisely about issues in technology tools to manage to learn using proper writing mechanics.Here are my Instructor’s feedbacks from assignment 1Satisfactorily prioritized and classified the needs that you determined in Question 3 in order to select the right LMS for your organization. Satisfactorily justified your response.Feedback: Do not get confused with what the LMS does. The LMS is for training, education and recording education. For example, we would not have an iCampus and Blackboard at Strayer University. iCampus is not an LMS but Blackboard is an LMS. Partially suggested a strategy for assessing proprietary and open-access LMSs to correspond with the needs of your organization. Partially provided a rationale for your suggestion.Feedback: You really did not give a very good detailed response that I could evaluate you high in this question. You should have first elaborated on the difference between an open-access LMS and a proprietary LMS? Then in forming your strategy some things you would have to consider are, for example: What is the value of going with proprietary vs. open assess LMS? What is the organization’s budget for implementing either type of LMS? What is the organization’s ability to manage a self-hosted LMS? Does your organization have and IT department? How much will it cost to implement and IT for the LMS? What’s the learner’s circumstances? Where will they receive the training? What volume of training will each student receive? How involved is the training content? Meets number of required references; most references high-quality choices.Feedback:Please pay more attention to the reference instructions so you can get the best score for this area.Sources are mostly integrated using effective techniques of quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing.Feedback:Please pay more attention to the sources and quote, paraphrase, and summarize them and integrate them more effectively to get the best score for this area.
