Learning management system (LMS) itslearning Monday launched a completely mobile LMS. Users now have full access to course content, resources and tools on Android and iOS smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.

With the itslearning app, students can submit assignments, upload files, view calendars and more clearly see what tasks need to be completed for each course. Teachers can access a full course curriculum planner and grade assignments from their mobile devices, according to information from the Norway-based company. Finally, the app’s messaging system has been updated so that teacher and students can opt-in to receive notifications.  

The apps are now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. More app features will be rolled out in the coming months.
