What is Lumen OHM?
Lumen Online Homework Manager (or OHM) is a robust online homework engine and course building platform for math and other quantitative subjects. Developed using open educational resources, Lumen OHM course titles offer a complete package of learning materials you can customize in powerful ways to suit your students’ needs. It’s a great, low-cost alternative to traditional publisher materials.
Lumen OHM course content includes outcome-aligned text, tutorial videos, customizable assignments, and other instructor resources. Ready-to-teach template courses from arithmetic to calculus provide teachers a running start in creating and customizing courses in OHM. Seamless learning management system (LMS) integration provides single sign-on and automatic grade return.
In addition to the course content, Lumen offers individualized support to help with course customization, LMS integration (for Blackboard, Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle), version management, and large-scale implementation.
