Understanding the operation and use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) is key to users taking full advantage of the platforms.

intervention area targets 10 TVETs under SIYEP and four Phase 1 Education Institutions, reaching 10,680 young people (39% women) by June 2027. It is designed to transition institutions from ad-hoc online learning to structured, resilient eLearning systems that effectively support instructors, students, and administrators.

Currently, there are 25,000+ students enrolled across the four Phase 1 LMSs, including 300 at Lokopio Hills Technical Institute, 7,209 at Mbarara University of Science and Technology, 10,038 at Busitema University, and 7,500 at Nkumba University. To date, 1,500 certificates in Work Readiness, Entrepreneurship and Business Skills, and Safeguarding have been issued to students who completed these courses through their respective institutional LMSs.

Key Actions

• Deploy and enhance LMS platforms in ten TVETs, including custom setup, optimisation, integration with institutional systems, and continued remote support for the four Phase 1 Education Institutions.
• Train 30 LMS administrators in advanced management and build the capacity of 100 instructors to deliver courses, manage assessments, grading, and certification, while enhancing student engagement through live classes, forums, and progress tracking.
• Integrate inclusive and accessibility features, such as assistive technologies and adaptive learning tools, to support learners with disabilities and ensure sustainable access through mobile compatibility and responsive technical support.

Expected Outcomes

• • Reliable Digital Learning Infrastructure: Fully functional LMS platforms established in 10 TVETs, with skilled administrators and instructors sustaining LMS operations beyond the project cycle.
  • Inclusive Access: More students especially young women, refugees, and learners with disabilities gain equitable access to online learning resources and acquire market-relevant training and skills through work-readiness and entrepreneurship courses delivered via the LMS.

  To ensure sustainability and rapid adoption, the project invests heavily in institutional capacity building:

This LMS intervention is the backbone of digital learning, equipping institutions, instructors, and learners with the tools to deliver and access high-quality, inclusive online education.

To ensure sustainability and rapid adoption, the project invests heavily in building institutional capacity:

• 30 LMS administrators from 10 TVETs trained in Moodle LMS management (course creation, user enrolment, environment monitoring, plugin configuration, updates, and analytics for data-driven decision-making).
• 100 instructors trained to deliver teaching and assessments through the LMS.
• 12 LMS administrators from Phase 1 Education Institutions (Busitema University, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Nkumba University, and Lokopio Hills Technical Institute) were further mentored and supported remotely to fully manage administrative roles such as user enrolment and digital certificate management.
