Introduction
LMS365 strives to ensure that customers have the relevant means to control privacy within their Learning Management solution with regards to personal information, that can be perceived as sensitive in some organizational contexts.
With the options to disable Access to Full Learner Details for Line Managers and Access to Full Learner Details for Course Administrators, you can prevent LMS365 users in being able to view:
-
The number of attempts that a specific learner has spent on completing an activity.
-
A specific learner's detailed scores on activities.
-
The time that a specific learner has spent on completing an activity.
