Even classrooms can be dragged and dropped into the learning pathway. Others Additionally, one can add Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), surveys, catalogs, and articles to deepen the learner’s experience and engagement. If the option is enabled by the admin, manager, or author, then the learner can include LEAP courses in the learning pathways. A learning path can be created with multiple learning assets and there can be multiple learning assets of the same type. For example: 3 courses, 2 virtual meets, 2 resources, 3 assignments, etc. If the force navigation is disabled, these assets can be rearranged provided no one from the published list of users has started working on this learning path. When ‘Force Navigation’ is enabled or disabled, once a learning path is published, any of the existing learning assets in the learning path can be deleted, and the course schedule can be edited. From the Learner’s Lens When the learners access their dashboard, they encounter the learning pathway with various milestones. It could include courses, video meetings, classrooms, memory boosters, and resources scheduled for training. While courses and resources provide for self-paced learning, classrooms, and virtual conferences help with collaborative learning. What’s more? It all happens on the same eLearning platform. For example, the learning path in the given image has two courses, a classroom, a resource, and a survey included.

Part one of this exploration is presented here, with a follow-up article to come. Introduction In 2022, Alice Macharia Njuguna and Gikandi Joyce, published a research paper titled “Using Learning Management Systems to Scaffold Collaborative and Interactive Teaching and Learning” in The Journal of Social Media for Learning. The study highlights the significance of LMS tools as crucial scaffolds for collaborative and interactive learning. When used correctly , they can improve learning outcomes in both synchronous and asynchronous situations The faculty must be assisted in selecting the right tools and ensuring that the right training will be provided. The faculty could be an SME, a peer, a team leader, or anyone else. Instructional scaffolding is a method that allows students to learn with the help of a more informed individual. Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky developed the concept known as the zone of proximal development. In this zone, the learner does not have a certain set of skills but can learn them with help and guidance. “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Adams KREDO Classroom So, what is it? KREDO LMS Classroom helps you manage online and offline instructor-led participation to help the learner move from the zone of proximal development to the zone of achieved development. Let’s look at a scenario. Anna organized a series of training sessions on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity (DEI) for all middle-level employees across 5 countries. She has zeroed in on 4 trainers for the first month. Here are some steps she followed in the process. She schedules a live stream from one of the meeting platforms for each of them. Then she creates a sheet to manually mark the attendance. Each time, she creates different groups to share the meeting link. The emails will be resent with resources and assessments. She plans to send the survey forms too. Well! This is a long, arduous path. The tasks are being managed separately on different platforms. What if there was a way to streamline all these tasks within one learning platform? In Classroom, you can: Within KREDO learning management system: While using Classroom, all of these functionalities are consolidated in one place, fostering an unparalleled learning experience.

Meeta Agarwal

Intro Summary Video Conferencing solutions have successfully broadened access to various services including health care, training, and education, etc. with positive outcomes. But what if these platforms are integrated into your learning management system (LMS)? Can this integration enhance the effectiveness of your training programs? In this article, we will explore how an LMS with integrated video conferencing has the potential to transform online learning landscape in education and corporate training. Introduction Let’s consider a scenario – a conversation between two learning and development (L&D) team members. James: Hi, Sarah, can you tell me how many SME webinars have we conducted for our employees last month, and the response from different departments and employees? Sarah: I can check the number from my Excel sheet, but it will be difficult to comment on the response. We can manage and schedule courses on an LMS, but how do we do the same for webinars and instructor led training? James: What if we schedule these webinars and virtual meetings through an LMS? Sarah: Well! Tell me more about it…. James: An LMS with video conferencing integration not only manages and schedules virtual meetings but also monitors the learner’s behavior vis-à-vis these online sessions, similar ti what we do with the courses. Let’s look at the benefits of an LMS with integrated video conferencing. Advantages of Learning Management System with Video Conferencing A learning management system and video conferencing solutions have been used separately and successfully for learning outcomes. But when they come together, they create powerful possibilities! Supports Blended Learning LMS with integrated video conferencing opens possibilities for quite a few convergences. Firstly, it allows for an assortment of mediums, providing a healthy mix of abstract and concrete learning experiences. “Audiovisual materials furnish one especially effective way to extend the range of our vicarious experience.” ~ Edgar Dale As per ‘Cone of Learning’ by Edgar Dale, videos provide a more concrete experience than mere icons, text, or visuals. The learner can participate in meetings, Q&A sessions, and converse with experts to assimilate the knowledge and retain it more efficiently. Secondly, video conferencing through an LMS facilitates virtual instructor-led training (VILT), creating an environment for blended learning. The learning paths in such a learning management system can include not only courses and resources, but also meetings, webinars, Q&A sessions, and other live training events. It allows the creation of a healthy balance – guidance from instructors and the freedom to go through the courses at a convenient time. Thirdly, both the courses and the video meetings can be scheduled and managed from the same platform, which is the LMS. Monitor, Manage, Measure Similar to courses, video-based training events can be scheduled and monitored through an LMS The effectiveness of these sessions is measurable through learner’s feedback on live events! Additionally, all the resources shared during the meeting can be added seamlessly to the learning path in the LMS. Automate Admin Tasks An LMS with video conferencing automates several administrative tasks such as attendance, training reminders, etc . This allows the learning and development team to focus on creation of engaging learning experiences using content, design, and user interface. The learning management system already has the users and user groups added. The video conferencing integration will obviate the extra effort and time to manually schedule the meetings for the learners. The user groups can be created to include members of any department, team, or any other set of learners. Streamlined Processes The client review processes can be efficiently managed when video conferencing is inbuilt in the LMS. The number of iterations and file versions can be tracked easily based on the review dates. The training processes across geographical boundaries can be managed effectively, as the video conferencing feature in the LMS can help scale the training program across the globe.

Never Give Up! Remediation in Learning Management System KREDO

Meeta Agarwal

Intro Summary One who keeps trying never fails. Learning a new concept requires practice, practice, and practice. An effective learning management system (LMS) allows the learners to take the assessment repeatedly after going through the content till they become proficient at it. This blog will focus on the ‘Remediation’ feature in the learning management system KREDO. Introduction People mostly fail only when they give up. KREDO never says there is no failure, and possibly just when you think there is now way, we show you a way. Let’s see why. KREDO is one of the fastest learning management systems (LMS) with an inbuilt authoring tool developed on the foundation of flexible learning. One can create formative and summative questions with the remediation feature. So, what is remediation? Remediation in eLearning allows the learner to revisit the content if they fail a knowledge check. Having revisited the content and grasped the relevant and requisite knowledge, the learner can reattempt the assignment again. This will help them understand and apply the actual knowledge in real-life work situations than what they perceived it to be. Learner: “Oh! I could have got it right in the next attempt.” Multiple Attempts There are several ways to check the understanding of the learner in the eLearning environment. The feedback with the correct answer can be displayed right after the first attempt. However, a learning management system can let the learner make repeated attempts. A feature to lock the question so that the learner cannot proceed till they have completed the assessment is significant. One can also define the number of times the eLearning course can be taken by any learner. And to make it even more robust, you may also set the number of attempts even for an assessment. Learner: “But, I don’t know the answer. I have not understood the concept. Do I need to take the course all over again to understand the concepts and pass all tests?” Remediation Remediation in KREDO allows a learner to revisit the content in question to understand the concept and then apply the learning to pass the quiz. They do not need to take the eLearning course all over again to successfully take the assignments. The ‘Remediation’ feature has three options. The author of an eLearning course can direct the learner to a web link, a PDF, or a page in the course itself, all to replenish their memory of what the learnt prior to getting to a question or an entire assessment For the third option, there is a dropdown menu that lists all the created pages of the course. Remediation can be set to any page in the course, which obviously is the page we’d like a learner to go back to, to refresh his/her learning. If the author has locked the question, then along with the feedback for the wrong answer, there will be the option to ‘Relearn’ and retry the question or even questions. An assessment can have a minimum of one question, or a maximum of ‘n’ number of questions and remediation is unique to each question not for the overall assessment that comprises questions. Now, who can be the author of eLearning courses in KREDO? The answer is, anyone! It could be managers, quality analysts, business developers, SMEs or anyone from the organization’s various departments who has access to a laptop or a desktop. The use of the remediation feature highlights the fact that the corporate training program is learner-centric and empathetic. The inclusion of a human-centric approach also shows that the management is supportive and wants the team to grow with the company. Every learner has a different grasping power and learning style. The remediation feature in the learning management system takes cognizance of this fact. You can use this feature to make your eLearning course engaging with all your employees irrespective of their learning capabilities. Remediation works well, both with an expert and a novice. Whether it is how to identify hazards, filling out a risk assessment form, planogram technique, safety procedure, customer management, sales tips, policies, etc., if you haven’t got it right the first time, it’s fine. Revisit the content and complete the assessments. No more feedback via email, no more length discussions to assess what went wrong, and no more long meetings to dissect an assessment outcome. Conclusion You can create courses on the go and roll out mandatory programs with smaller teams. This will help reduce the custom eLearning course lifecycle. Loaded with several features and integrations, KREDO, an LMS/LXP offers an unparalleled learning experience.

A Learning Management System that Empowers through Creative Authoring

Meeta Agarwal

Intro Summary Are you looking for a learning management system and/or an authoring tool? What if you get both in one? Yes, KREDO is a convergence of both an LMS and an authoring tool. In this article, we explore how the LMS KREDO can empower you to author your own courses. Introduction A learning management system (LMS) is the chassis for efficient delivery of digital courses. It basically helps in managing course scheduling and the learner analytics vis a vis the courses. Along with providing a simple user interface, an LMS helps to manage users, and integrate with content aggregators and external systems like meeting platforms, Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) and more. But what if an LMS allows you to author your own courses without the need for coding? Yes, KREDO is a learning management system which is also an authoring tool. Moreover, anyone from the organization can build courses keeping in mind the various teaching and the learning theories. Let’s look at how one can create engaging courses on KREDO learning platform. Templates Hunt A repository of 50+ templates helps one to express the content in various ways in order to cover all the four main types of learners based on their learning styles: visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic – the VARK model. There is an option to add audio script too. There are static content templates (bullet, image with text, history etc.) that give structure to the whole course. These can be interspersed with the interactive templates (accordion, hotspots, carousels, flip cards and more) that one can play around to deeply engage the learners. Create formative and summative assessment with question-based templates to gauge learner’s understanding of the knowledge. These templates can also be used to gain learner’s attention and stimulate recall of prior knowledge as laid out in Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction. The brain activity oscillates between high to low frequency. A wise use of these templates helps to create short modules punctuated by interactivity and assessment to prevent learner’s attention from going astray. Configurable settings, color schemes, easy to use image editor help to create industry specific content using diverse strategies. “Design is intelligence made visible”, said Alina Wheeler. Design and color scheme is vital for an effective user interface. There are a set of color themes to choose from. However, one can also create one’s own combination of colors for the course. Continuous Learning The process of learning is a flowing river, and having a learning path is ideal for a continuous learning journey. Create learning paths and add courses to it by a simple drag and drop feature. These courses can be scheduled on different days across the learning path. Add resources, webinars, meetings to the path for an amazing learning experience. Memory Boosters Recall, repeat and reinforce! One of the salient aspects of any learning journey is to keep revisiting the knowledge to deepen the understanding and thereby its reinforcement. Memory boosters are courses that explain the salient aspects of the course to help memorize what has been already taught. Remediation The only way to fail is to give up. KREDO’s remediation feature will not let you give up. Relearn the concept, repeat till you master it. The number of remediation attempts can be pre-set. Localization Globalization, remote working, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives has seen the confluence of employees with varied language, working for an organization. Providing training in the language through which they communicate with the customers is of paramount importance. KREDO allows one to translate courses in multiple languages to help widen the reach of the course to employees across geographical boundaries. The administrators can enable the Language Selector option in settings to let learners choose the preferred language for the course. Knowledge Check & Assessments Eliciting performance and assessing performance as stated in Gagne’s theory is vital to the learning process. Knowledge checks and assessment are a few ways to gauze the learning outcomes. The outcomes include the recall and understanding of the concept as well as its application to real situation. Realistic scenarios and case studies can be incorporated in the assessment templates to help learners build decision and task based competence – Tier 5 and Tier 6 of the Learning-Transfer Evaluation Model (LTEM). Get the benefits of both the LMS and the authoring tool in KREDO. These were a few features that empower one to author courses on an LMS. Conclusion A dynamic, empowering, competent, and effective learning platform is critical for achieving a company’s training goals. Enrich your corporate training strategy using the learning platform KREDO. Build a culture of learning by creating dynamic courses for an unparalleled learning experience with KREDO – Simple to Create, Smart to Express, Effortless to Learn.

Learning Analytics from LMS Big Data – What to look for?

Meeta Agarwal

Introduction Summary If data is the new oil, did you know that you can extract it from your Learning management system (LMS) to fuel your organization’s training goals? Analogically, this oil refers to learning analytics. This article will show what data can be collected from a learning platform and how this learning analytics will help the organization’s training program. Introduction The learning management system can be a mirror of its own performance. While the LMS hosts and launches courses and manages the learning journey, it can also be a treasure house of learning analytics. This big data records, measures, and analyses information about the learner vis-a-vis the course. This includes the following. What Big Data Can be Collected from LMS Assessment Scores The basic measurable data are the scores that are added up from various knowledge checks and gamification levels. While a high score means good performance, it may also indicate that the difficulty level is low. Lower scores might not always mean an ineffective course. It could also indicate that the course is well-designed to cater to a pressing knowledge gap. Learner Performance and Progress Data like the number of courses, learning paths, surveys completed, etc. are critical for defining the direction of the training goals. LMS analytics provide insight into the learning behavior of the users. One can get to know the number of courses completed in a learning journey and the speed at which it was completed. If someone is slow on the learning path, one can assess whether they found the course unengaging or lacked time. Surveys and Feedback Likes and dislikes about the course and examples shared during peer discussion can be a goldmine. Most learning management systems provide a collaborative environment. Learners can discuss topics and share feedback about the learning experience. These can be eye-openers, giving the organizations and the learning solution partner an insight into the trends and the cognitive and affective aspects of the behavior. Others Beyond reports, the data that can be taken from LMS are: The LMS could be of the organization or the eLearning partner. The organization could cover corporations, business schools, K-12, and government departments. Analytics Types Learner Analytics Some relevant data are related to users, including individual learners, departments, or groups. Learning Experience Analytics Some of the insights include: These data can determine whether the course is challenging, easy, or disengaging. When it comes to learning analytics from the LMS, two questions arise. What data can be extracted, and how can it help the organizations curate a training program? Relevant data collection can have an impact on the development of the training program and the learning outcomes. The benefits include: Case Study – KREDO Learning Analytics. Data, data everywhere, but no insights to be seen. Here is where LMS Reports come in. KREDO provides holistic data about learners and their performance. It helps one capture user, content, and course summary. Get a quick overview of active users, learning hours, and the number of users active per day through the KREDO dashboard. The discussion forum is an excellent place to get the pulse of what the learners are discussing and how they are doing it. Not only does one get to know about their perception of the course, but also ideas for scenarios and interactivity. Get feedback on anything through the surveys. The reports include assignments, skills, learning paths, and group summaries. There are customized reports too. Conclusion Thomas Redman, a data expert, said, “where there is data smoke, there is business fire.” In this context, I would put it as where there is data smoke, the learning is on fire. A dynamic and effective learning platform generates relevant and authentic learning analytics. Enrich your corporate training strategy using the learning platform KREDO. It is not only Simple to Create, Smart to Express, and Effortless to learn, but it is also a rich source of information that can help to improve the outcomes of your training program. It is a confluence of technology and communication, creativity and simplicity, purpose and fun, individual empowerment and corporate excellence.

Sneak peek into the eLearning templates of KREDO with Examples

Meeta Agarwal

Introduction Summary Microlearning are highly effective in reinforcing knowledge, introducing additional information and tips at the moment of the need to help organizations close the skill gaps, retain talent pool, and increase employee engagement. Short, focused courses can be created in an engaging manner to keep the employees motivated. In this article, we will walk you through some interesting eLearning templates of the learning platform KREDO to deliver impactful microlearning modules. Introduction In the previous blogs, it has been stated that there is high-frequency brain activity of about 90 minutes when the attention span is at the highest. Then it dives into 20 minute low frequency levels with very low attention span. This has an important bearing on the learning process. When it comes to learning including the corporate training, the Bob Pike’s 90-20-8 rule gains significance. A lesson on a learning platform should not be longer than 90 minutes. They can be broken down to short modules of ideally 20 minutes. The learner should be engaged every eight minutes through intriguing eLearning templates. However, it has been seen that if the subject is interesting people can be engrossed in a movie, book, or activity for hours. It all depends on the choice of content and its presentation. In corporate training, the content should cater to the real need of the hour. But what will make the training effective? It has been observed that experiential learning through engagement and reflection can enhance the engrossment of the learner. The learning platform KREDO offers a learning environment that reinforces the knowledge through unique style of presentation and activities. Here is a sneak peek into some of the eLearning templates of KREDO. eLearning Templates of Learning Platform KREDO Activity Based Templates Let’s start with the first one. It is a good idea to get the learner to think before plunging into the Why, What, How, What if of the concept. We used Agree/Disagree and Swipe eLearning templates from KREDO learning platform for the following instances. ‘What do you think’ was used with Agree/Disagree eLearning templates before we started the Corporate Ethics course. The Swipe eLearning template was used to access the learner’s understanding of the difference between equity and equality before enforcing the knowledge of equity (10 minute module) as part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity at workplace lesson (60 minute learning path). The Find a Word eLearning template is an enjoyable way to assimilate a concept. Hope you could search the four words. Some of the other activities on the KREDO learning platform include drag and drop, fill in the blanks, hotspot, sliders and so on. They can be used innovatively both for pre- and post-assessment. Scenarios Through eLearning Templates Scenarios also help learners to relate to a situation either heard or experienced. This helps in quicker understanding of the concepts. Scenarios can be based on conversation or description of situations. eLearning templates like conversation, text sliders image with text and more can be explored creatively. Here are some of the examples: An example of conversation template. A scenario to start the supply chain management course. This scenario involves the learner in the workplace compliance-related course. eLearning Templates for Different Learning Styles The templates of the learning platform KREDO provide a varying combination of text, visual, and images to appeal to different learning styles. eLearning templates like card expand, carousel, text/image sliders, image popup, flip cards, image scanner, image based multiple choice, and so on can be experimented to author unique eLearning courses for your team. The following examples show the balanced use of visuals and text to present the different types of time wasters. Various templates along with unique features of this learning platform such as knowledge checks, remediation, memory boosters provide unlimited permutation and combination to keep the learners engrossed. Conclusion This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more for you to explore in terms of the eLearning templates of KREDO. It is not just about creating a learning module. It is about making them effective so that the team can imbibe knowledge and apply it to real situations.
