1.2. LMS Settings
Out of the box, the Education module comes with a Learning Management System (LMS). This enables institutions to provide information about their programs on their website. Programs may include movies, quizzes, and articles with rich content. Both the desk and the portal allow you to keep track of the progress of specific students.
If you enable LMS for your ERPNext Education module, you can configure the following settings:
- LMS Title: Put the LMS's title here. That can be your institute's name.
- Description: On your LMS, you may include the course description.
In order to add courses, articles, or quizzes to your LMS, you can also go to LMS Activities. You can navigate to the URL "yourdomainname.erpnext.com/lms" to access your LMS portal.
