SALMS Platform Technologies

In order to implement SAL, a set of software technologies are required if the implementation is be at all practical and cost effective.  The technologies a school typically require is a Student Information System (SIS), which records grades and transcripts and a Learning Management System (LMS), the software that students log into to get their assignment and to turn in work.  Schools have many other administrative functions, which are generally addressed by add-ons to the SIS.

The specific set of technologies developed to address the challenges of Sequential Adapted Learning is called the Sequential Adapted Learning Management System (SALMS).

SALMS Student Information System

At the core of sequence adapted learning is an highly specialize information management system which needs to covers all administrative aspects of running a school, manage the data needed to make good decisions for student courses, and records student progress in transcripts.

Computer-Based Course Delivery Software

Computer-based courses can be developed by non-programmers using a variety of software applications, like Google Classroom, Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle.  An LMS is a software that allows non-programmers to develop online courses and track student completion.

The student information, like classes, grades, credits, requirements, and assessments must be tightly integrated with the Learning Management System (LMS).  

SALMS is tightly integrated with the Learning Management System, Moodle and includes the integration components required to track student data and control course assignment.
