Having an online LMS allows you to create and swap out training and build courses instantly, and upload for your students and employees to learn. You don\u2019t need to spend hours writing out the material or delivering in-person presentations, all your learning activities can be live streamed and delivered instantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Train no matter the location<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 2;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">Since so much of today&#8217;s force and schooling is remote, having a plan to train your <a style=\"color: #444444;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archylearning.com\/blog\/8-tips-for-training-remote-teams-with-elearning\">remote teams with eLearning<\/a> is more important than ever. The beautiful thing about LMS online is that your employees or students can work, learn, and train from home or any other location, and no budget or time is allocated towards gathering everyone in the same room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Engage and motivate learners<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 2;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">Training isn\u2019t always just developing a particular skillset. With company training and development, there are lessons on company policies, compliance, or culture. Those types of manuals aren\u2019t always the most exciting to go through, but you can help your learners stay focused by adding gamification elements. Examples such as awards, games, and internal competitions can all be integrated within your LMS and rewarded to those who succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Train on the go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 2;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">Long learning programs can disrupt your office\u2019s schedule and ultimately, its productivity. Events like training conferences and seminars can take days, forcing employees to take time off of their actual tasks. Having an LMS, especially one with a <a style=\"color: #444444;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archylearning.com\/blog\/how-elearning-and-mobile-is-a-match-made-in-heaven\">mobile learning platform<\/a> allows employees to take training courses on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong style=\"color: #444444; font-family: helvetica; letter-spacing: 0.1px; background-color: transparent;\">Improve retention rates<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 2;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">There is always value in offering career development internally. Employees can up-skill and move up within a company, and your LMS can help them get there. It is a win-win situation for you and your company to build up your employees and help them win by challenging them to learn new things, and expanding and growing their existing skillset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Track results<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 2;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">Measuring the success and effectiveness of a training program usually takes a lot of work. An LMS with correct data will help remove much of the strain of understanding whether or not your students are learning and retaining the information. Your modern LMS platform should generate data and metrics on user engagement. Data such as completion rates, and logins is great to know and be able to oversee their success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 2;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">An LMS is a Learning Management System that can create online courses and then be implemented across different organisational or scholarly environments to help students or employees train or learn the skill sets required.
