1.2.1 Describe Roles & Functions in Online Learning Environments

The online learning environment is composed of many people playing various different roles. Each role has unique responsibilities that must be fulfilled in order for the online learning environment to be a success.

The Student Information System (SIS) is an online system used to manage student information, grades, payments, class schedules, attendance, grades, etc. The student, parent, on site teachers (facilitators), and administration can all view certain aspects of the SIS at any given time. In addition, teachers and administration may input information into the SIS, if applicable. The SIS is in place to communicate meaningful information related to the student's education.

The Learning Management System (LMS) is in place to manage the delivery of digital learning materials. The LMS is used in planning, delivering, and tracking educational records and course content.

Individuals involved in the online learning environment and who communicate via SIS and LMS include:
Student--register, interact with online content, view grades, communicate with teacher and/or facilitator
Parent--communicate with students, teacher, facilitator, and/or administration
Administration--involved with settings/roles of users, accounts, tool use, reporting of grades and data within the LMS
Content Development Personnel--create the content provided in the LMS
Teacher--facilitates instruction and manages the classroom and students
