A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software platform which facilitates the management and flexible delivery of content for web-based learning. It enables the administration, documentation, assessment, tracking and reporting of educational content and training programs, providing organisations with a cost effective method to fulfil their operational, compliance and training requirements.
A learning management system empowers communication and collaboration between trainers and learners without the usual geographical and time constraints. It can be used as a stand alone training delivery platform or as part of your organisation’s blended learning approach – that is, to supplement face-to-face training.
Benefits of an LMS
REDUCE TRAINING COSTS
Training blended online reduces the need for face-to-face sessions. Less travel for your staff, less time away from tasks and more efficient allocation of human resources results in time and cost savings.
FLEXIBLE TRAINING DELIVERY
Training is accessible – anytime, anywhere. This empowers your staff to take ownership of their professional learning when and where it is convenient. Training doesn’t have to be bound by time or place.
ENGAGE YOUR STAFF
Learning is fun and user-centred. Training is multimedia-rich, collaborative and delivered via desktop computer, tablet or mobile. Say goodbye to boring Powerpoint presentations.
IMPROVE WORKPLACE LEARNING
Facilitate all types of learning that occur in your workplace. The 70-20-10 training model states that informal, social and formal training represent about 70%, 20% and 10% of organisational learning, respectively.
BETTER STAFF PERFORMANCE
Help staff perform better. If you expect your staff to excel in their jobs, it is essential to provide effective training. This includes induction, compliance and professional development programs and job-specific training.
ACHIEVE BUSINESS OUTCOMES
Effective staff training drives business performance. Learning strategy aligned with organisational goals yields excellent return on investment and adds value to the business.
