This is our legacy LMS and will be soon deprecated. To start using our latest LMS, check out the Student Portal or contact our support team.
LMS
Administrate’s Learning Management System (LMS) lets you create a professional online training portal to deliver e-learning your way. In addition, the LMS Student Portal provides a student experience for them to see information relating to their Events and financials, regardless of whether they’re signed up to an LMS Event or not.
If you need to preview how an Event is displayed to the student, go to the Event’s screen in Administrate and click
The settings on this page( Control Panel>LMS) let you tweak the visuals of your Administrate LMS to promote your company’s brand, display logos, link to your products and provide real-time news using web feeds. Please see Administrate’s example as a reference.

Favicon
A “favicon” is the small image displayed in a browser’s tab next to the tab title, and will be the icon representing your LMS site when it is bookmarked. Small square dimensions should be used, such as 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, or 64x64, in ICO, PNG, GIF or JPG format. To upload a favicon, select an image file from your local machine.
