What is SDO?

A distance learning system is needed to streamline all educational processes in the company. Download training courses, assign them to employees, and the system will ensure that everyone learns the material and passes the final test. The system will also collect reports on the results, and you will get a complete picture of staff training.

With iSpring Learn, you can control your virtual classes while saving yourself time and money. LMS is a unified educational environment where all the company’s educational materials are stored. Each employee has access to all information from any device.

The main page in the student’s personal account: a list of courses and progress in completing each of them.

To fill the LMS with educational content, you simply need to convert the existing materials into digital format and upload them to the platform. iSpring Learn includes cloud storage, which means you can store as much learning content as you want.

What is an LMS, why is it needed and what are its capabilities, you can find out in this article.

What problems does iSpring Learn solve?

The distance learning system helps solve various business problems:

1. Product training. Are you improving your products, developing trainings, new products and interesting offers? Train employees from all branches, even the most remote ones, in a few days with a training course. Develop material and assign it to those employees who need up-to-date knowledge for their work.
2. Employee certification. With the help of a distance learning system, you can test the knowledge of employees quickly and in a timely manner. The LMS itself will collect reports on completed tasks, and you will be confident in the knowledge of the employees and the high level of their competence and professionalism.
3. Adaptation for newcomers. Distance learning allows you to quickly introduce a large number of new employees. For example, you have opened a new branch, and fifty sellers need to quickly convey all the information according to the regulations. With LMS, you simply assign a course followed by a test.
4. Preparation of personnel reserve. With iSpring Learn, you can train branch managers, department heads, and future directors. Create your own development plan and learning path for potential managers.

Your staff will be able to study at a convenient time on the way home, in a traffic jam, or even before bed, and trainers will not have to travel across regions. At the same time, the teacher has access to all the statistics and dynamics of learning: the system itself collects data, calculates the points scored and compiles ratings without your participation.

Screencasts, video courses

To create videos and upload materials to the training course, the editor has the iSpring Cam Pro video studio. To record a video lecture or training session, you do not need to use additional programs. Cam Pro has a fairly simple interface and clear functions, which makes it easy to use.

Below is one of the video lessons made in the program:

Every action you perform in the program, be it pressing keys or typing text, is accompanied by the appearance of a visual hint that can be edited.

The video shows how to get started with the video editor and make screencasts:

Dialogue simulators

Dialogue simulators are designed to hone your communication skills with clients or work out sales schemes. To compose dialogues, the editor has the iSpring TalkMaster program.

If you don't have enough characters to work with dialogues, you can upload your own backgrounds and characters to the library and adapt the dialogue to your needs. This will allow you to achieve maximum realism in the dialogue. The editor also has the ability to embed dialogue voiceovers.

TalkMaster is easy to use, even if you haven't developed e-learning courses before. The menu of the simulator is intuitive, and it provides very extensive possibilities for work.

Interactive elements

There are 13 interactions available in the editor, which are created using the iSpring Visuals tool in HTML5 format.

You can also add other types of interactive elements: a virtual tour of the facility for new employees, an overview of the design of new equipment, and more. It is possible to voice over interactive modules for better perception of information.

The program menu is quite simple, and the visualization is at a good level. But at the stage of finalizing the course, you may need the help of a programmer and designer to assemble a high-quality interactive module.

How to implement the platform?

One of the advantages of iSpring is its simple and intuitive interface. This means that you do not have to train staff to work in iSpring Learn; even a person with a low level of computer literacy can master the platform. An employee of the HR department or a programmer will handle the setup and installation. At the same time, support for the work of the SDO is also organized by one or two people.

Initially, the iSpring Learn platform was presented only in a cloud format, but now, if necessary, you can install the system on your company’s servers if the security system does not accept cloud solutions. To deploy the platform, you need to buy a license, install the program and upload the prepared content to the system. Then all that remains is to choose which course to assign to employees, how to receive reports and statistics, how to encourage those who are achieving and encouraging those who are lagging behind.

How to organize work with students?

The distance learning system is convenient for both trainers and their students. Consider the structure of the training course in such a way that each stage represents a complete information block that you can assign to a selected group of employees. At the same time, the material and level of complexity must correspond to the employee’s competence and meet current tasks.

List of courses on the admin page

You can add different types of content to your course: lectures, webinars, videos, practical exercises and test assignments to test your knowledge. iSpring Learn has an extensive library of ready-made content: using backgrounds, characters, and buttons, you can quickly put together a high-quality course without resorting to the services of a designer. All material is equally supported on any gadget.

The video shows how to make a test in PowerPoint and in the iSpring Suite designer:

iSpring Learn allows you to vary your testing settings, such as minimizing the possibility of cheating by setting time limits or shuffling questions for each test taker.

In this case, the platform itself will collect statistics and generate reports.

How does iSpring Learn interact with other programs?

The API allows iSpring Learn to integrate with many systems. For example, a corporate portal, personnel management and resource planning systems. Thanks to the API, iSpring Learn features such as user identification or personnel management will be automatically accessed.

Single sign-on allows you to free an employee from constant authorization in integrated systems. This means that it is enough to enter the password into the LMS once, so that in the future the login will be automatic if you have a subscription to a corporate website or mail server.

ISpring Learn can be integrated, for example, with Active Directory, a program for centrally managing network computers, or Zoom meetings, a service for hosting webinars. You will be able to conduct live meetings for learners via HD video or screen sharing. At the same time, those who are late or missed the lesson will be able to watch it at any convenient time.
