Educadiums Easy Campus is a learning management system that allows you to create and manage an entire online campus. Administrators and teachers can add educational content in the form of courses which can then be administered to students. While course creation using EasyCampus is simple and functional, its processing the data generated while students navigate courses where the learning management part of EasyCampus really shines. EasyCampus allows instructors to track and compare student performance without the menial and time- consuming work of manual grade tracking. Some assignment such as essays need to be personally graded by instructors, which EasyCampus allows, for but other Do activities such as multiple choice tests are more effectively and efficiently graded by the software. EasyCampus can instantly tell instructors how long Jake or Ashley took to get through each lesson and how they did on all the assignments and tests therein. By having this information available and organized, instructors can spend more time on lesson content and less time manually grading tests and adding all those grades together to figure a final course percentage. Grading is not the only use for the data EasyCampus makes available. Each course in EasyCampus is its own valuable formative evaluation tool. It gives instructors data by which to tell if things like lesson timing need to be tweaked. It also helps evaluate course content. After administering an EasyCampus course once, an instructor has data immediately available on the effectiveness of each part of that course. For example, if everyone in the class got test 3 question 7 wrong it is immediately apparent that either the question or the content the question refers to needs re-working. EasyCampus does the work of collecting and organizing this kind of data. Therefore, it is much easier for instructors to spot trends and patterns that they might not have noticed after the drudgery of manually collecting and recording the data. Back to Table of Contents
