In an increasingly digital world, the success of an LMS (Learning Management System) no longer depends only on the quality of the educational content and training tools it includes, but also on the ability to offer an open, integrated and inclusive learning environment (learning ecosystem).

Among the various integrations that an LMS must ensure, one of the most important is that with videoconferencing software.

Integrating a video conferencing software into your LMS allows you to create online events, webinars and courses in synchronous mode, making training more engaging and richer from the point of view of the learning experience. Thanks to this integration there are several advantages that can be obtained for learners and for those who manage training. In particular, it is possible:

• Access events directly from the LMS platform without installing any external software, offering your users a better user experience
• Combine classroom sessions with online training sessions (blended training)
• Take advantage of all the analysis tools included in the LMS, including for synchronous training: statistics, attendance monitoring, etc.
• Integrate automatic notification systems
• Manage the entire training process: from registering users to issuing the final certificate
• Have a single archive of documents for all online, classroom and blended training: certificates, minutes, evaluation tests, satisfaction questionnaires, etc.
