A New Approach to Communication
Posted by Clarion Safety Systems | 9th Sep 2021
Did you know that over 72% of global organizations consider incorporating a learning management systems into their business as a competitive industry advantage? A learning management system (LMS) is a software application or web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. It’s used for eLearning practices and, in its most common form, consists of two elements: a server that performs the base functionality and a user interface that is operated by instructors, students, and administrators. This type of system works well with evolving workplaces, as it has been found that 68% of employees prefer learning through internal work resources, specifically those that are digital and can be accessed anywhere.
How Does a Learning Management System Work?
In
terms of machinery and workplaces, an LMS is a way for an organization to
create and deliver content, monitor employee participation and assess their
performance. An LMS may also provide employees with the ability to use
interactive features such as threaded discussions, video
conferencing and discussion forums.
LMSs are frequently used by businesses of all sizes, including national government agencies, local governments, traditional educational institutions and online/eLearning-based institutions. The systems can improve traditional workplace educational methods, while also saving organizations time and money. An effective system will allow instructors and administrators to efficiently manage elements such as user registration, content, calendars, user access, communication, certifications, and notifications.
How Can This Benefit Your Workplace?
LMSs are beneficial to a wide range of workplaces
and in a variety of industries – and are especially relevant for industrial
machinery manufacturers and settings where this type of equipment is in use, as
training and education is crucial to user safety. The most common use of a
learning management system is for knowledge management (KM). KM refers to the
gathering, organizing, sharing, and analysis of an organization's knowledge in
terms of resources, documents, and training software.
Employee training and onboarding is one of the most common use cases for an LMS in a workplace or factory environment. In these cases, the LMS is used to help train new employees by providing opportunities to access training materials across various devices. Employers are enabled to constantly update the information for their operations as new tasks and ideas are added to the platform.
Learning
Management for Manufacturers
LMSs can also be used for machinery manufactures as a tool for enterprise
training purposes. This includes potential buyer, partner, and user training. Potential
buyer and user training is common in software and technology companies where
users need to be taught how a system works before they can handle the new
product. This can be applied to both new and old pieces of machinery, and can
improve your machine’s performance, reduce liability, and increase brand
loyalty.
Additionally, costs can be reduced in the long run by eliminating the need for instructors, training days, training materials, and travel expenses.
Other advantages of learning management systems include:
- The ability to monitor user progress and performance.
- Increased eLearning accessibility without geographic limitations.
- The ability to personalize the online training and learning experience.
- The ability to easily and efficiently update eLearning modules and activities.
- The ability to easily ensure online training and learning materials are being distributed effectively.
- Ease of storing data in one location for security, updates, and maintenance.
