21st CENTURY LEARNING SYSTEM:
With Classroom Management System (CMS) with Digital Resource Library with 4700 readymade learning units should be new generation of software that assists teachers in utilizing and managing a computer multimedia lab or 1:1 classroom. It transforms traditional classrooms into educational platforms which allow students to develop 21stCentury skills and teachers to manage an ICT rich classroom without compromising the way they naturally would like to teach. CMS should utilize cutting edge features which allow for a broad range of learning techniques and communication methods, while harnessing features such as screen spying, broadcasting, computer/screen locking, file sharing, and many more to maximize earning effectiveness in a 21st Century classroom. Must be compatible with existing Smart Classrooms digital content and hardware that have been already installed different National Polytechnics and TTI’s in Kenya.
 

Specification:

CMS should support additional apps which are able to be purchased directly from the website provider administrator. While, not a comprehensive platform, these apps help educators who want to bring specific 21stCentury Elements into the classroom. 
Examples of these apps are:

1. Polling: Using any device, teachers will be able to immediately poll their students to get real time responses and assessment. 
2. Digital Whiteboard: Teachers can use their device to replicate many of the same features as a digital whiteboard at a fraction of the cost. Now a teacher can use ICT in their demonstrations with minimal infrastructure.
3. Exam Creation: Teachers can build exams for students using exam authoring tools
4. Exam Dissemination: Teachers can digitally disseminate exams to their students and retrieve them for automatic scoring.
5. Compatibility:
   1. Windows 10
   2. Local- Not online & No Server Needed
6. Devices Control Features
7. Learner Monitoring Features
8. Device Sharing Features
9. Utility Features

Learning Management System (LMS) 
 

Features:

The LMS should be a comprehensive education tool designed to enrich courses by embedding digital 
Content and assessments into traditional teaching and learning. A full suite of content creation tools 
Is included to enable instructors and instructional designers to enhance their courses with customized digital content. Scheduling, communication, and web 2.0 tools allow multiple options for students and instructors to meet the diverse needs of learners in the 21st Century.
The LMS should incorporates many instructor friendly features which enable complete course delivery or supplemental course materials. Instructors are able to design their own curriculum, modify content, and import SCORM compliant modules for students to view. Instructors have complete control over content, assessment and grading scales. The LMS content delivery system tracks individual students’ progress as they are guided through technology rich curriculum, which enhances 21st Century Skill competency, in addition to ensuring students meet the required learning outcomes of the course.
The LMS should be a versatile learning platform which supports 21st Century learning models such as blended learning, and flipping the classroom. This flexibility enables institutions to create the most valuable learning opportunities possible and to maximize student capacity for independent learning.
