Overview

E-learning software

Today's e-learning software and solutions take education virtually anywhere people want to learn. Students use online content in addition to textbooks, and classes are held on the web or in a classroom.

Education institutions need to support these changes in traditional learning. Whether you want to boost classroom content, add distance learning, create a school portal, or improve learning management, Microsoft and our education partners can help.

Expand offerings

E-learning software and solutions can help you advance education and prepare students for what's to come in many ways:

Offer distance learning. Take advantage of technologies that support distance learning to supplement and expand your offerings. With a unified communications solution, students and faculty can communicate from virtually anywhere using conferencing, video, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and many other media.
Create learning content. Boost learning outcomes and unleash creativity by offering the engaging multimedia experiences students want. Students and faculty alike enjoy using lively multimedia content for classrooms and projects. And the tools for creating it—including Microsoft Office, Office Web Apps, and other web-based tools—are readily available.
Support cost-effective learning management. Get the tools you need to deliver, administer, and track learning content and to measure performance, activity, and outcomes. A customized learning management system is a cost-effective solution—especially for the many campuses that already have Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server.
Enjoy audio and video broadcasting. Faculty and students can create and access lectures and recorded discussions when their schedules allow.
Track student progress and assess learning outcomes. Faculty and staff can spend less time tracking assignments and calculating grade point averages.

Reach more students

With e-learning software and solutions, a unified communications infrastructure, and a learning management system, you can:

Centralize course information. Teachers and students have a single place to distribute, complete, and collect assignments; give quizzes or tests; post classroom schedules; and manage online discussions and conversation threads. Students who miss or can’t attend a class meeting can find the information online.
Accommodate mobile devices. Extend communication and collaboration from the desktop to the web and to mobile devices.
Synchronize teaching materials. Use digital notebooks to capture information, organize projects and presentations, and share learning content easily. Teachers can distribute presentation material in advance so students can respond in individual notebooks.
Teach with e-portfolios. Assess student progress with more than traditional quizzes and tests. Give students the ability to build and maintain an e-portfolio.
Address more learning styles. Incorporate pictures, music, and video into classroom content.
