# Navigation & User Experience

> How the LMS is organised - the admin workspace, the learner portal, daily navigation by role, and where different users monitor, create, and review work.

The LMS has two distinct interfaces: the **admin workspace** (where instructors and administrators build and manage the platform) and the **learner portal** (where students access courses, join live classes, take quizzes, and track progress). This page explains both and shows how each role navigates their daily work.

***

## The LMS Admin Workspace

From Bizaxl's main menu, click **LMS** to open the LMS workspace. This is the administration hub for platform management.

### Workspace Shortcuts

Six live shortcut tiles sit at the top of the LMS workspace:

| Shortcut             | What It Shows                                   | What It Opens                             |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Enrollments**      | Number of LMS Enrollment records                | LMS Enrollment list                       |
| **Course Completed** | Number of enrollments where course is completed | LMS Enrollment list filtered to completed |
| **Evaluation**       | Number of LMS Certificate Evaluations           | Evaluation list                           |
| **Users**            | Total users on the platform                     | User list                                 |
| **Certificate**      | Number of certificates issued                   | LMS Certificate list                      |
| **Course**           | Total number of published courses               | LMS Course list                           |

These shortcuts give you an instant snapshot of platform health without running a report.

### Workspace Cards

Below the shortcuts, three cards group related records:

**Course Data card**
Links to: Course, Chapter, Lesson, Quiz, Quiz Submission

**Course Stats card**
Links to: Interest, Review

**Certification card**
Links to: Certification, Evaluation Request, Evaluation

### Dashboard Charts

The LMS workspace includes three charts that display graphical trends:

| Chart             | What It Shows                           |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Certification** | Number of certificates issued over time |
| **Signups**       | New user registrations over time        |
| **Enrollments**   | New course enrolments over time         |

These charts answer the question: "Is engagement with the LMS growing, stable, or declining?" They are your first visual indicator of platform performance.

## The Learner Portal

The learner-facing LMS portal is a separate web interface at the `/lms` URL on your site. Learners access it by logging in with their Bizaxl user account. The portal is the primary experience for students - they rarely (if ever) use the admin workspace.

### Portal Navigation Structure

The portal sidebar and navigation are configured in **LMS Settings → Sidebar Items**. The standard portal sections are:

| Portal Section        | What Learners See There                                          |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Home**              | Featured courses, upcoming batches, personalised recommendations |
| **Courses**           | The full course library with search and category filters         |
| **Batches**           | Available instructor-led batch programmes                        |
| **My Courses**        | Courses the learner is currently enrolled in, with progress      |
| **Certified Members** | Public list of learners who have earned certificates             |
| **Jobs**              | Job board (if enabled in LMS Settings)                           |
| **Statistics**        | Platform-wide stats (if enabled)                                 |
| **Notifications**     | System notifications and discussion replies                      |

Learners also have a **Profile page** showing their enrolled courses, completed courses, earned certificates, and badges.
