How to extend and amplify the impact of your digital training strategy with seamless LMS apps

Next-generation digital LMS (learning management systems) have become integral to success in the digital age for enterprise organizations and smaller companies alike. In contrast to legacy systems, leading-edge digital LMS platforms include a wealth of features and functionalities that benefit a wide range of stakeholders. Among these features and functionalities, LMS apps have far-reaching implications for companies’ broader ecosystems by way of helping them capture maximum value from their talent pool, sales teams, partner relationships, customers, and more. How? By empowering learners — both internal and external to the organization — to engage with training materials and resources on their own time and their own terms in a way that drives superior learning outcomes and brand experience. This, in turn, fuels increased efficiency and job satisfaction, higher performance, more robust customer relationships, enhanced brand recognition, and ultimately, ROI. In this piece, we’ll explore how ExpertusONE’s premier digital LMS apps take the promise and potential of this advanced asset to the next level.

Five Ways to Leverage Digital LMS Apps

1. One platform to rule them all.

ExpertusONE’s digital LMS includes available Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, and Slack apps. But before we examine the advantages afforded by each, it’s important to note a key distinction between these apps and the digital LMS software itself. Namely, the complete ExpertusONE platform and its abundance of features and functionalities are available on a dedicated mobile app, while its other apps are extensible for a seamless interface with the most popular training, onboarding, and synchronous communication platforms. In other words, each app extension is conveniently connected to the ExpertusONE digital LMS parent platform — the one platform to rule them all. With this clarification in mind, let’s take a look at how these apps can extend and amplify the impact of your digital training strategy.

2. Seamless learning contexts

Context switching, which requires learners to jump from software system to software system for training, communication, and collaboration, has negative effects on efficiency, UX, and learning outcomes. But the ExpertusONE enterprise LMS platform eliminates the friction of context switching with app extensions that meet learners where they already are — on their preferred platforms. This is an organic approach to delivering training that falls within the natural flow of learners’ everyday activities. This “learning in the flow of work” dramatically reduces the cognitive load of disjunctive training approaches to simplify and expedite onboarding processes, support successful training and upskilling, and fuel high performance. For example, new hires can dive right into training via the Slack LMS app extension. It provides a streamlined UX, giving learners the confidence to successfully complete courses without the burden of having to navigate multiple platforms. Or take the Salesforce LMS application. It’s a frictionless and highly effective training experience for sales teams because it’s delivered within a familiar platform.

3. Seamless mobile and desktop interface

The ExpertusONE LMS mobile app ensures a seamless experience with offline sync, actionable analytics, and illuminating dashboard views that put educational materials and training resources in the palm of learners’ hands. Mobile app functionality makes it easy for users to learn wherever they happen to be, at any time of the day. This is a critically important feature since research by Deloitte into 2022 Connectivity and Mobile Trends indicates that users increasingly prefer mobile to desktop usage. In just one year, Deloitte reports, mobile use has risen by 5%, and U.S. adults spend 5.5 hours each day on mobile. In 2022, mobile generated 60.66% of website traffic, accounting for more than half of all video views. Last, mobile apps earn higher engagement rates than mobile-optimized websites.

ExpertusONE provides the most advanced LMS mobile app available, with a true mobile-first design and expanded platform functionality with push notifications and voice integration for a fully optimized learning experience. The app’s presence-sensing capability automates classroom reporting, heightens learner engagement, and facilitates collaboration. It also enables real-time surveys, providing valuable opportunities for improving course design. The ExpertusONE mobile app also enables instructors to monitor learners’ training progress on the go with the option of sending automated text or email notifications to keep them on track.

4. Seamless branding

Extended enterprise training is part and parcel of many companies’ customer and partner experience and is often a key strategy for providing value and empowering stakeholders. Whether through mobile or desktop, the ExpertusONE digital LMS makes it easy to brand learning assets. Companies can even connect branding to LMS gamification features like badges and icons that promote corporate goals or that reflect branding initiatives. The platform’s seamless branding capability not only elevates the aesthetic of your offering but also serves to distinguish your brand and lend prestige to proprietary content. Between providing a world-class training experience and seamlessly branded content, users will make favorable connections between their positive learning experience and the strength of your brand.

5. Seamless compliance, certification, and credentials

For medical, industrial, and other specialized companies, conforming to industry standards and regulations via proof of compliance, certification, and credentials is essential to doing business and protecting their bottom line. Under the best circumstances, meeting compliance requirements is a herculean task. And for the increasing number of companies with remote or hybrid workforces, it can feel akin to herding cats. Compliance managers must identify, monitor, manage, compile, verify, and report what often amounts to mountains of compliance and certification data.

Compliance reports can often be lengthy and detail-dense, making the task of looking for specific information on individual employees’ certification status a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. This is a significant liability. Robust documentation — complete with digital reports and audit trails — is imperative. But without easy access to highly granular and individualized data, companies lack visibility into which employees are next in line for renewed training and certification, putting them at risk of compliance oversights and certification lapses.

The safeguard against this scenario is the ExpertusONE ONE-Profile card — a newly launched, key feature of the ExpertusONE platform that provides companies with a QR-code solution to the many challenges of compliance, certification, and credentialing. The ONE-Profile Card also benefits current employees and job candidates by making their training history, certifications, and credentials instantly available from anywhere. This simplifies the complex task of verification and documentation, expedites the hiring process, and provides peace of mind to multiple stakeholders.
