For many education providers, an LMS is still treated as a digital filing cabinet — a place to upload PDFs, host videos, and track attendance. But in 2026, that model is no longer enough. A modern Learning Management System must do far more than store content. It needs to actively support learning quality, compliance, engagement, assessment, and operational efficiency — all at the same time. This shift is redefining what “good” looks like in an LMS. From Content Repository to

Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have evolved well beyond content delivery platforms. Today, they are assessment engines  that must balance efficiency, educational validity, regulatory compliance, cost, and learner experience. One of the most common questions education providers face is: Should assessments be self-marking, trainer-marked, or a mix of both? The answer is not either/or. Each assessment model serves a distinct purpose, and the strongest outcomes are achieved w

Choosing the right LMS is essential for efficiency, compliance, and learner experience. While Moodle and Laureate LMS are both widely used, they operate very differently. Here’s a clear comparison to help you decide. Moodle: Flexible but High-Maintenance Moodle is a free, open-source LMS known for its flexibility. Thousands of plugins and themes allow deep customisation, making it suitable for schools and universities with varied needs. However, the real cost of Moodle isn’t

Different sectors across Australian and international education use very different assessment systems. VET qualifications rely on competency-based assessment, while ELICOS, higher education, corporate training, and many theory-driven programs use marks-based grading. Laureate LMS is designed to support this diversity. During configuration, each provider selects one assessment model—competency-based or marks-based—and the platform is set up accordingly. This ensures every orga

In the education and training sector, a lot of systems try to do everything. Some student management systems now claim to act like an LMS. Some CRMs try to deliver training content. Even platforms designed for enrolment or administration add a few “learning features” and present themselves as complete solutions. But the reality is simple: Not all systems make good LMSs — and that’s exactly why Laureate LMS exists. We built Laureate as a true learning management system: purpos

In today’s fast-paced learning environment, attention spans are shorter and learners expect feedback instantly. The traditional “big test at the end” is being replaced by micro-assessments — short, low-stakes quizzes that keep learners engaged and instructors informed. Here’s why this approach is reshaping how educators and organisations measure learning. What Are Micro-Assessments? Micro-assessments are quick learning checks embedded throughout a course — not just at the end

Artificial Intelligence has transformed the way educators create, deliver, and manage learning. From automated quizzes to adaptive learning modules, AI-generated content now powers classrooms, training programs, and entire learning management systems. Yet while these technologies unlock extraordinary opportunities for efficiency and personalisation, they also raise new ethical questions about authorship, accuracy, and academic integrity.   For education providers — especially
