Many schools already function with a Student Information System, or SIS. This system often houses student records, grades, and quite a bit of personal information so teachers and parents and students and administrators can communicate with each other.
Another system is the Learning Management System. This system helps "manage an organization and the delivery of learning material." Currently, as a Fulton County Teacher, I can actually choose what platform I would like to use for the Learning Management System. If my principal integrates the Google Classroom, the use of Google would streamline this process and make each teachers' delivery more uniform. As of now, I use Edmodo, but only because Fulton County Schools "highly recommends it." I am actually not truly required to do any of it.
Like the traditional school, a Learning Management System must have administrative staff to ensure the system runs smoothly. LMS Administration are the administrators "responsible for the settings and roles that affect all users." Much of this is done in a technical capacity.
Under the LMS Administration is the Instructional Administration. These are administrators over instructional policies. It may include and not limited to teacher accounts, tool use, course offering schedules, course teaching assignments, reporting of grades, and other data collections.
Finally, the Content Development team creates the actual "content" or curriculum that will be used on the LMS. A number of schools actually purchase their content versus actually housing a physical team to prepare the material.
Other personnel that are equally important are teachers and organizational data analysis. Teachers are the facilitators that actually deliver the content. Data analysis could be one person or a team of persons to aggregate and dis-aggregate meaningful data for the organization. In traditional school, our testing coordinator serves as the data analysis clerk.
