Bisk Education, one of the world’s leading providers of higher education online, has redefined the online learning experience with the next generation of its Learning Management System: LMS 4.0. Incorporating best practices and 20 years of knowledge and experience, LMS 4.0 features design and usability enhancements that create an engaging, interactive environment where students are empowered to learn.

This unique e-learning platform is offered exclusively to universities that collaborate with Bisk to facilitate the online delivery of their associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as well as professional certificate programs. Bisk instructional design experts help faculty translate on-campus curriculum into an online format, enabling universities to extend their reach to adult learners.

“Bisk’s LMS aligns with a university’s curriculum to ensure online students receive the same quality education as on-campus students,” states George Straschnov, Chief Strategy Officer and Vice President of Development. “This latest version turns university courses into an engaging online experience that makes students excited to learn.” Design updates are centered on creating an even more engaging experience for adult learners. Enhanced learning, communication and navigational tools keep students actively participating, learning and connecting with faculty and classmates to deepen learning and strengthen knowledge retention.

In addition, many of a university’s third party applications and tools used by on-campus students can be seamlessly integrated into the online learning environment via Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)^TM, helping to further facilitate interactivity.

Students collaborate with other online learners, while universities will be able to grow their community by networking via Facebook and LinkedIn student and alumni groups. Through advanced reporting features, faculty and administration can monitor student participation.

The LMS originally launched in 1997 with the first-of-its-kind, instructor-led online MBA degree programs with video lectures. Today, Bisk’s online learning platform supports more than 60 degree programs and over 100 certificate programs from 14 traditional and regionally accredited universities.
