LMS & Online Learning in GridX SCM

GridX SCM's built-in Learning Management System (LMS) brings digital learning into the same platform your school uses for attendance, timetables, and results. Teachers can build courses, upload video lectures, post assignments, run quizzes, and track student submissions — all without a separate third-party tool.

Overview of the LMS Module

The LMS is organized around four core objects:

| Object | Description | |--------|-------------| | Course | Subject-specific container (e.g. "Grade 10 Mathematics") | | Section | Unit or chapter within a course | | Content | Video lectures, PDF notes, or external links inside a section | | Assessment | Assignments or quizzes linked to a section |

Step 1: Create a Course

Go to LMS → Courses and click + New Course.

Fill in the course details:

| Field | Example | |-------|---------| | Title | Grade 10 — Physics | | Class | Grade 10 — Section A | | Subject | Physics | | Teacher | Ms. Zara Khan | | Cover Image | Upload a subject-themed thumbnail |

Click Create Course. The course appears on the course grid, visible to enrolled students.

Step 2: Build the Course Content

Inside your new course, click + Add Section to create the first chapter:

Section example: "Chapter 1: Forces and Motion"

Inside that section, click + Add Content:

• Video Lecture — paste a YouTube/Vimeo URL or upload an MP4 (hosted on your storage). Students watch directly in the browser within the LMS.
• PDF Notes — upload a PDF handout
• External Link — link to a PhET simulation, Wikipedia article, or any webpage

Repeat for every chapter in your curriculum.

Step 3: Post an Assignment

Inside any section, click + Add Assessment and choose Assignment.

Fill in:

| Field | Example | |-------|---------| | Title | Chapter 1 — Practice Problems | | Instructions | Solve questions 1–10 from page 22. Show all working. | | Due Date | 5 Feb 2026, 11:59 PM | | Max Marks | 20 | | Submission Type | File Upload (PDF / Image) |

Click Publish. Enrolled students immediately see the assignment card in their course view with the deadline highlighted.

Step 4: Enroll Students

Back on the course page, click Enrolled Students → Manage Enrollment.

You can enroll:

• Individually — search and add student by name or roll number
• By Class — bulk-enroll an entire class section in one click
• Via CSV — upload a spreadsheet for large batches

Enrolled students receive an in-app notification (and optional email) that they've been added to the course.

Step 5: Student Submits Assignment

From the student's portal, they open the course, navigate to the assignment, and click Submit Assignment. They upload their file (PDF, image, or Word document) and click Submit.

The teacher sees a badge on the assignment showing the number of new submissions.

Step 6: Review Submissions and Post Grades

Open the assignment and click View Submissions. A grading table appears:

| Column | Description | |--------|-------------| | Student | Name and roll number | | Submitted At | Date/time of submission | | File | Download or preview attachment | | Marks | Editable field (type score out of max) | | Feedback | Optional text comment to the student | | Status | Pending → Graded |

Enter marks and feedback for each student, then click Save Grades. Each student is notified of their grade.

Step 7: Run a Quiz

For auto-graded online quizzes, create an Assessment of type Quiz.

In the quiz builder:

1. Add questions — multiple choice, true/false, or short answer
2. Set marks per question
3. Set time limit (optional)
4. Set attempt limit (e.g. 1 attempt only)

When students open the quiz, a timer starts. On submission, multiple-choice questions are graded automatically. Short-answer questions remain in Pending status for manual review.

Step 8: Student Progress & Reports

Go to LMS → Reports → Course Progress to see:

• Completion percentage per student (lectures watched, assignments submitted)
• Average score per assessment
• Students who haven't accessed the course in the last 7 days (flagged for follow-up)

The Student Portal shows each student their own progress bar, grades, and upcoming assignment deadlines in a single dashboard.

Discussion Forum

Each course has a built-in discussion thread. Students can ask questions, post responses, and teachers can pin important announcements. All participants are notified of new posts.

Common Questions

Can parents see their child's grades in the LMS? Yes. If the Guardian Portal is enabled, parents can view course enrollments, grades, and submitted assignments for their linked child.

Can a teacher be assigned to multiple courses? Yes. A teacher can own multiple courses across different subjects and classes.

Can content be reused across courses? PDF notes and external links can be duplicated to another course via the Duplicate Section option. Videos linked by URL are automatically available.

Summary

GridX SCM's LMS transforms traditional classroom teaching into a blended learning model — students access lectures at their own pace, submit work digitally, and receive instant feedback. For teachers, the automated grading, progress tracking, and built-in communication eliminate the need for any external LMS tool while keeping everything inside the familiar school management platform.
