Note: Some of our clients use Pedagogue as
a stand-alone Assessment Management System, but many
use it in conjunction with a Learning Management System.
This article addresses some Best Practices in leveraging
the best features of both.
Leveraging Your Learning Management
System With Your Assessment Management System
Today’s Learning Management Systems
are quite sophisticated. They track learning experiences,
manage talent, help with succession planning, facilitate
performance management and have built-in authoring systems
in the form of Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS’s).
An AMS can complement the LMS by:
Permitting rapid
assessment development
Enabling robust
and flexible exam deployment
Making question-level
analysis easily available
Facilitating question
and exam versioning and auditing
