In this article, we will turn the spotlight on one of the features of KREDO Learning Platform, which is Classroom. This platform seamlessly integrates virtual instructional-led training (both online and offline), meeting platforms, pre-and post-assessments, surveys, and more. 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. Employees, customers, and distribution channels can all connect from around the world to learn in collaboration. What’s more? Classrooms can be added as milestones in the learning path, just like courses, resources, memory boosters, and meetings. “The future of the world is in my classroom today.” ~ Ivan Welton Fitzwater So how can Anna easily manage instructor-led sessions through the Classroom of KREDO learning management system?

LMS With Integrated Video Conferencing –  Expand the Bandwidth of Training Program’s Success

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. The dialogue between James and Sarah sets the context for the appraisal of the benefits of an LMS with the feature of video conferencing. The scope of integrated video conferencing in an LMS  includes: Video conferencing integration in LMS helps to scale training programs across the globe. It increases the chances of team collaboration, productivity, and engagement. Conclusion Learning Management System with Video Conferencing integration facilitates real-time interactions and promotes active learner engagement.
