TopClass LMS Features
All-In-One LMS
Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine
TopClass LMS resolves legacy productivity issues with secure integration to iMIS, enabling the Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine to efficiently deliver education to 3,400 members.
THE PROBLEM
ASUM had previously been using an open-source LMS to deliver their online education to 3,400 members. However, there was no proper integration between the LMS and iMIS, their member database, causing significant issues and a general loss of productivity. This also required members to remember two sets of login credentials which made accessing the LMS resources more inconvenient and time-consuming. As the LMS was open-source, there was also no support available to assist with integration, customization or even day-to-day issues.
ASUM wanted to streamline their systems and make them more accessible to members. The key requirement for their new LMS was a proven, strong integration with iMIS member database and a Single-Sign-On (SSO) system so their members could access all of ASUM’s member resources with only one login credential to remember. ASUM provide a broad range of learning materials including course syllabi, case studies, quizzes, interactive tutorials and they use SCORM content. The new LMS needed to have an attractive user interface, and be capable of hosting the different formats of e-learning content. The new LMS also needed to provide sufficient options for organization and administration of content and courses, to enable ASUM to effectively manage their users’ learning experience.
RESULTS
The two-way integration between TopClass LMS and ASUM’s association management system has streamlined administration of their educational offerings. TopClass LMS has provided ease-of-access for ASUM’s members and enabled the association to more efficiently deliver educational resources, rectifying the productivity issues experienced with the previous LMS.
The WBT Systems services team were instrumental in customizing TopClass LMS to meet ASUM’s requirements, and provided support during the LMS implementation, which afforded “a significant advantage” to ASUM. This was in contrast to the association’s previous open-source implementation, which had no formalized support system.
“One of the key advantages of using TopClass over our previous open source LMS was the excellent support we've received. The WBT Systems support team have been great - knowledgeable and responsive.”
