Cloud learning management systems (LMSs) are vital for higher education institutions in the Philippines, aligning with the Commission on Higher Education’s (CHED) push for flexible learning and supporting academic quality and institutional strength.
This article explores what a cloud LMS is and the benefits it can offer.
What Is a Cloud LMS?
Cloud-based LMSs are software applications that are hosted on the cloud. They’re made available via software-as-a-service (SaaS) models, with institutions paying subscription or license fees to use them and users accessing them via internet browsers and apps.
Benefits of a Cloud LMS
1. Content Authoring
- Learning experiences can be created to align with all six levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, from basic recall to the highest order thinking.
- Content creation tools help educators adopt outcomes-based, tech-enabled teaching.
2. Competency-Based Approaches
- Micro-credential courses can be bundled into full credentials in alignment with the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF)
- Competency mapping, rubric-based assessments and learner progress tracking help ensure compliance with CHED’s standards.
3. Security and Support
- Enterprise-grade security features such as secure transmission, single sign-on and vulnerability management help provide maximum reliability.
- Additional services help you get more out of the platform in the areas that matter most to your institution.
4. Personalised, Inclusive Learning
- AI-enhanced personalisation tools keep learners engaged and provide educators with predictive analytics that can help enhance learning.
- Anytime, anywhere, mobile-first access makes education accessible to more learners—including working professionals and remote students.
