Run the LMS • Administer the LMS: enroll buyers and operators, set up courses and learning paths, manage roles, permissions and certificates., • Track each learner's progress and confirm Academy completion, since no drone ships until the pilot completes the Academy and hands-on training., • Answer learner questions and nudge buyers who stall so they can schedule hands-on training sooner., • Report regularly on enrollments, completion times and pass rates.
