8 Ways to Use The ExpertusONE LMS Mobile App
Mobile learning is the future of successful training initiatives. Companies have embraced remote and hybrid work styles, and they must equip their teams with the tools they need to complete their work. Whether offering training for employees, partners, sales team members, or even customers—accessibility should always be the goal. Learners will not take courses or engage in training if it is difficult to access.
With the ExpertusONE LMS mobile app, companies can provide accessible training in an easy-to-use format. All of the benefits of an LMS platform—engaging courses, personalized recommendations, compliance tracking, and more—are packaged in a mobile application. With the same ease that we read news articles or answer emails from our cellular devices, learners can take essential courses and expand their knowledge.
Here are eight ways to use the ExpertusONE LMS mobile application.
Ways to use your ExpertusONE LMS mobile app
1. Take courses anywhere.
The first and perhaps most obvious use of the ExpertusONE mobile app is that learners can take their training and compliance courses no matter where they are located. Companies must offer flexibility to their employees, partners, sales teams, and customers if they want learners to engage with training. Since the pandemic, customers and employees alike have adapted to more flexible work schedules, and, as a result, they also expect this flexibility in the way that they work.
A mobile application makes it possible for working parents to take courses while they wait for their child’s dance class to end. Workers who are simultaneously students—perhaps interns or employees who returned to college later in life—can access training resources while waiting for their next university course to start or on the train ride home in the evening. With mobile LMS software, learners can take courses no matter their geographic location.
2. Access essential resources while on a job site.
In highly technical fields like healthcare, technology, or manufacturing, training often explains specific processes, advancements, or new methods for completing a task. This is why these technical fields often require learners to take new compliance courses or earn certifications regularly. On a mobile LMS app, learners can access training resources while they are on the job. Mobile access to training resources is beneficial to healthcare professionals who work from a variety of locations, like travel nurses or in-home healthcare providers. They can reference a new training course to confirm an approved method or process, or to look up specifications about a medical device or tool that they are using. Access to training resources can improve the overall quality of work and bolster safety initiatives in the process.
3. Reference product information while selling.
Sales teams must offer precise information and specific details about the product or service when they are pitching to prospective customers. This can be challenging and may require a vast knowledge of multiple products simultaneously. Even if your sales team already went through your top-notch sales enablement program, they may want to reference or verify information about the product while they are out on a sales call. The ExpertusONE mobile application makes these resources available to sales teams. It’s easy to filter through courses, search for information, and access detailed resources using the app.
Remote access to training also means that sales calls will be stronger because reps can answer prospects’ questions immediately, instead of offering to call back later with more information. The mobile LMS application is a critical component of sales enablement technology because it empowers team members to create more precise, engaging pitches. More information results in more accurate pitching. Your sales team is likely eager to get into the field and sell, and a mobile application encourages rapid adoption of training and a streamlined enablement experience.
4. Verify certifications.
The ONE-Profile Card is a credentialing system that helps users verify certifications and compliance reports from a mobile device. When the QR code is scanned, the user’s screen will populate with the employee’s training history, certifications, and compliance records. In industries like healthcare, this streamlines the credentialing process and ensures both safety and compliance. Managers can easily scan and reference an employee’s training history to confirm that they are up-to-date.
For gig workers, remote credentialing technology makes it easier to prove that they are qualified to do the work they have been hired to do. For example, an equipment technician could show up to a job site with their mobile device in hand, show their QR code to a manager to verify necessary certifications or clearances and get to work.
5. Track, check, and manage compliance.
Compliance management is a full-time job, especially in industries like healthcare or manufacturing. Training managers must make sure that their organization and each team member employed by their organization are compliant with industry regulations. If compliance fails, organizations face fines and even closures. This is a top priority for leaders across industries.
With the ExpertusONE mobile application, managers can track, check, and manage compliance no matter where they are located. Data reports are available on the mobile app so that managers can determine which team members are in compliance and which may have fallen out of compliance. The mobile application makes compliance information readily available, which in turn creates ease of compliance tracking and more accurate assessments. It helps training managers ensure that teams are equipped with the resources that they need and aligned with set industry standards.
6. Communicate with your team with the LMS mobile app.
Communicating with a remote or hybrid team can be challenging, especially if there are multiple points of contact at a given time. When addressing training or compliance issues—like a team member who forgot to take a course or assigning an urgent training update—leaders and managers need systems that streamline communication. The ExpertusONE mobile app allows training managers and learners to communicate with each other easily. Managers can follow up with learners if their compliance is lapsing and send a quick email to remind them to take a course. Push notifications are also sent through the application to remind learners of upcoming deadlines, so they can meet compliance requirements.
7. Upskill on your own time.
Upskilling initiatives are a huge benefit to both employees and companies as a whole. Upskilling courses add value to the employee experience because they give team members the chance to explore their careers. Companies can provide technical courses, training that covers interpersonal skills, leadership courses, or even courses that allow employees to explore other departments or interests within the company (like a design course for a writer or a marketing course for a web developer).
Upskilling initiatives show team members that the company wants to invest in them for the long term, and it gives companies a competitive advantage (especially when their team members pursue advanced certifications or skills). With the ExpertusONE LMS mobile app, learners can access these upskilling courses on their own time. This offers the flexibility needed to take advantage of bonus resources and gives team members the chance to explore the course library when they have free time (which may be difficult to come by while at work). A mobile app makes these upskilling resources available and, therefore, more impactful in the employee’s experience.
8. Take attendance with geofencing and presence-sensing.
The ExpertusONE LMS mobile app can also be used as an administrative tool to help training managers or department leaders take attendance for in-person courses. The geofencing and presence-sensing features in the mobile app will notify training leaders when a team member has entered the designated learning location and will mark them in attendance. The geofencing feature can restrict training to certain times or locations so that companies have more control over highly technical or detailed training courses. Presence-sensing removes the need for a cumbersome and inefficient sign-in sheet and automates the classroom reporting process.
The ExpertusONE mobile application improves the training experience for learners and managers alike. It offers greater flexibility and adaptability so that remote and hybrid teams can access training when it is convenient for them. Managers can use the application to track compliance, communicate with team members, and mitigate the administrative burden of training reports.
