Organization Types - How to Choose

When setting up your NIT LMS, the first and most important decision you'll make is choosing your Organization Type. This determines which features and modules are available to you, and how your dashboard will be customized.

What is an Organization Type?

An Organization Type is a category that defines the nature of your educational institution and determines:

• Which features are available in your dashboard
• How your navigation menu is organized
• What tools and modules you can access
• How your data is structured and displayed

Available Organization Types

• You focus on technical skills like programming, data science, or digital marketing
• Students work in cohorts with defined start and end dates
• You need career services and job placement tracking
• Students build portfolios and projects to showcase to employers

How to Choose the Right Type

Step 1: Identify Your Primary Focus

Ask yourself:

• What is the main purpose of your institution?
• What type of education or training do you provide?
• How do your students progress through your programs?

Step 2: Consider Your Student Journey

Think about:

• How long are your programs? (Short-term intensive vs. long-term ongoing)
• How do students advance? (Cohort-based vs. individual progression)
• What outcomes do you measure? (Skills, memorization, performance)

Step 3: Evaluate Your Stakeholders

Consider:

• Who are your main users? (Students, parents, instructors, coaches)
• What information do they need access to?
• How do they interact with your system?

Making Your Choice

If you're still unsure:

1. Start with your primary function - What do you do most of the time?
2. Consider your growth plans - Will you expand into other areas?
3. Think about your students - What type of experience do they expect?

You can always change later:

• Organization types can be modified in your settings
• You can enable additional modules as your needs grow
• The system is designed to be flexible and adaptable

What Happens After You Choose?

Once you select your organization type:

1. Your dashboard will be customized with relevant features and navigation
2. Your menu structure will be optimized for your type of institution
3. You'll have access to specialized tools designed for your needs
4. Your data structure will be organized according to best practices for your type
