Simple
The dot eLearning platform is easy to learn and to use, with a simple, linear navigational structure and thorough help tools throughout. This ease of use makes it possible to engage both teaching staff and students alike in the e-learning experience.
This platform takes a constructivist and social constructionist approach to education, emphasising that learners (and not just trainers) can contribute to the educational experience in many ways. The system’s features reflect this in various design aspects, such as making it possible for students to comment on entries in a database (or even to contribute entries themselves), or to work collaboratively in a wiki.

Flexibility
At the same time, the LMS is flexible enough to allow for a full range of modes of teaching. It can be used for simple delivery of content (e.g. HTML pages) or assessment, and does not necessitate a constructivist teaching approach.
For organizations wanting to ensure their staff have completed the necessary training required to do their job, the LMS offers a range of benefits, including full user tracking, course activity reports, quizzes, assignment and ‘grade book’ tools.
Integration
In addition, the Curriculum Factory team are able to integrate the LMS with a range of Student Management and Human Resource Management systems, to create an automated and seamless e-learning experience for both the users and for administrative staff.
Customisation
The look and feel of the LMS system can be customized to suit a range of needs, and Curriculum Factory clients can choose to apply a range of pre-developed or unique custom themes to suit the branding, corporate identity and culture of their organization. Finally, because of its Open Source approach, users can choose to add any number of optional ‘modules’ or tools that have been developed by a large community of supporters and developers.
