The manner in which an online classroom is constructed is a little more complicated then the surface would appear. As with a traditional setting there are divisions in the information passed from invested members of a student's performance. What the teachers can access differs from the parents and students which of course differs from admin. However there are some common pieces of information shared such as student performance in a course as well as attendance records crucial for all parties to be knowledgeable about.
The SIS platform helps provide information about the student--demographic, school system, contact information---pretty much anything that will help ensure the online student can be contacted in multiple ways. Additionally the guardian information is available to also ensure open lines of communication for student success.
The LMS platform is more geared for the delivery and assessment of knowledge gained by the student. It enables a teacher to provide content in the form of lectures, ppts, shared links as well as provide assessment opportunities (in multiple forms) to evaluate the level of student learning.
I have had the opportunity to work as a content developer for the AP Psychology course and also did some content review so I am familiar with D2L packaging.
