Medical colleges are transitioning towards competency-based medical education and are required to implement the new CBME-curriculum. InPods LMS works well with the competency and performance framework to allow authoring of rich outcomes-mapped learning experiences and assessment tools for the delivery of learning and assessments. InPods LMS supports all the prevalent types of instruction methods and assessment methods recommended by the curriculum guidelines. InPods LMS is primed with all the departments, subject-wise competencies, certifiable procedures and skills, performance scale, and domain types. This makes it very easy for the faculty members to engage in blue-printing, lesson planning, and publishing and conducting internal/formative assessments, all the while retaining the outcomes mapping information for further analysis.

InPods LMS helps faculty identify students who need extra support in order to acquire required competencies by using outcomes-analytics support and allows faculty to assign extra work for students to engage in self-directed learning and improvement.

Health Science programs require longitudinal tracking of student competencies gathered in the clinical settings and skill-labs. InPods LMS allows faculty members to assign skill-certification related learning and assessment materials to a smaller group of students at a time. Faculty members engage in the feedback loop based on student performance observed in the lab or clinical setting using a checklist or a rubric and certify a student on that skill/competency.

Skill-based training providers with multiple centers and each center offering multiple programs have unique challenges. They have to maintain programmatic control via master courseware for multiple faculty members, scale the delivery of instructions and assessments in non-classroom settings at different centers, and analyze competency outcomes data to certify learners as well as continuously improve program quality.

InPods LMS provides secure digital access to program and course materials via digital virtual classrooms for each cohort of students and their faculty members of each enrolled batch across all the centers. InPods also automates the secure online testing using formative and summative assessments on a digital platform and harnesses all the evidences of outcomes data to engage in continuous improvement and academic governance of all the programs, and to maintain student outcome records of all the students who have graduated from these programs.

Academic Institutions offering courses and programs in arts, science and commerce fields have a large number of students per section. Providing blended-learning experiences, online-courses and conducting online tests with auto-grading and course outcomes attainment data can improve teacher’s and student’s productivity. Data generated by InPods LMS can be used by the academic leadership teams effectively for institutional assessment and accreditation processes.
