Learning

News – Learning administrators can provide unique messages to your learners highlighting new courses, up coming learning events, awards, incentives, surveys or company information. News can be entitled by organization and can be different for each office if necessary. News can be created in a standard HTML editor and uploaded in real time for your learners. News will support any text, colors, pictures and “URLs” which can direct learners to a specific course, knowledge object or external website.

Learning Maps, Competency Models and Skill Gaps – Learning Maps can be developed based on your company’s structure, functional areas of expertise or divisions to support your competency model and learning tagenda. Most companies align their business strategy with their learning strategy to help support recruitment, retention and development of staff. Therefore, understanding your gaps and designing learning to support your business objectives is very important.

Recommended/Required Learning – Both instructor-led and web-based courses/classes can be tagged to an organization, job family or job title and be presented to a learner who fits this criteria as either “Recommended” or “Required” to drive individual and company performance.

Mandated Learning – This feature allows learning administrators to push prescribed learning to individuals, groups or offices. Mandates can also be set based on an individuals hire date thus pushing learning to an individual based on your companies on-boarding requirements. Mandates can include one or more learning activities and can include both instructor-led and web-based courses. Mandates can set fixed dates for completion and include notifications and reminders to individuals who have been included in the mandate. Automatic notifications can be personalized and sent to remind a learner that a deadline is approaching and can provide reminders after a required date has passed. Reports are available to learning administrators in real time to review compliance.

Categories – Categories can be used to further support Learning Maps to make it easy for learners to find specific learning activities to support their career development. This can include certification programs, external training sites or internal libraries with specialized content.

Instructor-led Training Calendars – Many companies maintain one training calendar for their employees that can often be confusing or congested if you have more than one office location or division. Which training events pertain to me? Now you can have multiple training calendars based on each learner’s office location or division. This permits administrators to assign learning events to one organization and not a second. The core functionality of this feature allows a learning administrator to assign a specific learning activity to one or more organizations.

Reports – Learning administrators have access to reports that can be run in real time. All reports can be exported to Excel and filtered as needed. Typical information that is included in reports is:

• Name of the Learning Event
• Name of learner
• Learner unique ID
• Office name or organization
• Registration Date
• Completion Date
• Test Score (pass, fail)
• Time spent in completing a web-based courses (minutes)
• Email address

Transcripts – Each learner has access to their own personal learning transcript that includes names of learning activities, registration and completion dates and test scores. Transcripts can be viewed online or can be printed. Managers and Learning Administrators can also have access to transcripts based on their roles and viewable users.

Certificates – Learners upon completion of a learning activity can print out a “certificate” based on the learning activities name and date of completion. Certificates can be customized with the company’s logo if necessary.

Notifications – System notifications can be turned on or turned off. Emails can be automatically sent to each user confirming an activity registrations or reminders.

Roles – Roles are set for three type of users; Learners, Managers and Administrators. All roles are set up when your site is configured and can be easily changed to meet your company’s needs. Learners have access to all learning activities and site functionality. Managers can review the learning of direct reports and Administrators have system wide authority to create new courses and classes, system attributes and register and complete users.

E-Commerce – Our learning environment supports full ecommerce functionality. Learning can be free, can be billed on a monthly basis or can be purchased by using a credit card. Pricing can be different between two different organizations within one company. You can also extend out learning to your Channel Partners to generate income to support learning within your organization.

Secured Authentication – There are two ways to authenticate users to access your secured learning site. The first is to construct an encrypted “token” that will include certain attributes from your company intranet. This token will automatically push users into the secured university environment and create a unique learning profile. The second way is to utilize a separate authentication tool that can be administered by your staff and will create a similar user profile within your learning environment.
