Online assessment is the use of information technology to evaluate tests. There are two main types of online assessment including independent assessments and group work.

However, this model is not applicable to complex topics and courses with larger learning outcomes. Importantly, there are some guidelines to be followed when implementing this mode of learning. They include the use of multimedia and gamification.

Interactive content is learning material that involves the active participation of the learners as opposed to just listening, reading, or watching.

The benefits of this approach include knowledge retention and increased learner engagement. To add, a modern LMS platform will help you incorporate interactive content into your elearning courses.

ILT has many benefits including the introduction of a blended learning approach, expert training, social learning among others. Setting up ILT initiatives involves defining objectives, establishing relevance, design and development, and creating a plan.

eLearning, or electronic learning, is learning that can be accessed via electronic devices. The concept dates back to the 19th century and has gradually transformed over the years.

It is successfully being used to train students, employees, partners, and customers. It is also used for compliance training.

Accessibility entails the use of technology to make learning content available to everyone regardless of whether they are disabled or not. Instructional designers will achieve their training objectives better if they keep accessibility in mind. Accessibility involves different elements that range from how content is displayed on devices to different principles and standards that govern the concept.

Gamification adds game elements to non-game scenarios. Gamifying your LMS will keep your learners active and engaged. The result is an enhanced user experience. Gamification has many benefits and helps learners perceive learning from a new perspective. LMS gamification helps to bring your elearning courses to life. Ensure that you choose an LMS platform that is gamified for the best results both for you and your learners.
