Describe roles and functions in online learning environments in your blog.

There are many roles and functions in an online learning community.

Two systems in place in all education entities are:

1. SIS (student information system) this directly manages all of the information an educational system would need in regards to their students including biographical information, testing history, grades, schedules, etc...

2. LMS (learning management system) involves the system that house the information for online learning for districts.

In a school system there are various roles and responsibilities in regards to online learning.

I have had the opportunity of being able to play various roles in my job at FCS. We use Powerschool currently as our SIS, and in the past used SchoolMax. I have used Blackboard, Moodle and now Google Classroom for LMS.

In the SIS, I have been a teacher and facilitator.

In regards to the LMS, I have been an administrator, course developer, teacher, student, and student facilitator.
