How to Scale Your Training Strategy with a Digital LMS Platform

An effective training strategy can have a positive impact on every area of business, from internal operations to customer relationships and from partnerships to the bottom line. Of course, in order for a training strategy to have such a broad impact, it must be distributed across the organization. This requires careful planning and consideration on the part of training managers, who will identify the needs of each user and the learning pathways required to serve them.

When it comes to scaling the training strategy, challenges mount. For organizations experiencing rapid growth or a sudden expansion, training becomes even more critical to ensure that team members can operate effectively. However, as the team expands, training needs change, increase, and become more complex. For example, should one organization acquire another, the training strategy must now incorporate the original learners and the learners associated with the acquired company. Training needs can change overnight, and companies must be able to respond.

The good news is this: a digital LMS platform enables companies to scale training faster than ever before. Unlike the training strategies of the past—in-office sessions, binders upon binders of essential printed materials, or large-group sessions—a digital training strategy can be distributed quickly and effectively if the right tools are employed. Instead of scheduling live sessions, printing out new booklets (wasting funds on paper and ink), and coordinating group training for a sudden increase in staffing, companies that leverage a digital LMS can train a growing team in an instant.

It’s a combination of features like training management automation, AI-driven personalization, flexible training technology, integrated data reporting, and interactive learning elements that make it possible to create a training strategy that can grow alongside your organization. A digital LMS platform enables the adaptability that is required for an effective learning and development program.

Your company’s success rests on training because so many things flow out of your overall training initiative: onboarding, innovation, sales, and even customer relationships. The ExpertusONE LMS software can offer the necessary technology for managing and distributing courses to every learner, even as your team expands. Our LMS platform enables companies across sectors to train a large number and variety of team members effectively. Here are the features that make the ExpertusONE LMS the ideal training solution for businesses experiencing growth.

Four LMS Features to Scale Your Training Strategy

1. AI-driven automation ensures personalized experiences for every learner, no matter how large the team.

In the ExpertusONE LMS, AI enables personalized course recommendations to ensure learners are provided with targeted, relevant courses without requiring an administrator to assign every learning objective. Each learner is given a personalized home page within the enterprise LMS that populates with their training data, assignments, and upcoming deadlines. Learners are provided with a list of recommended courses that correspond to their roles, interests, job descriptions, and the courses their peers are taking. This unique feature enables learners to get a personalized experience without adding an administrative burden to your training manager’s to-do list.

2. Incorporating interactive elements into training boosts engagement.

Learner engagement is key for scaling your training strategy because it can indicate where you should devote the most investment or priority. Engagement-driven learning tools, like those found within the ExpertusONE digital LMS, ensure that every learner can train in a way that is effective and impactful for them.

ExpertusONE’s Interaction Studio enables training managers to create interactive, impactful activities and deliver more microlearning opportunities. With small but effective interactive elements interspersed throughout courses, knowledge retention improves with this rapid LMS authoring tool. It’s easy to add elements like video, audio, polls, and quizzes to courses in the creation process. Managers can even add interactive features on top of videos.

Our Digital Content Player ensures that supporting content for your courses is housed within a single LMS player window, so learners aren’t jumping between systems in order to complete a single course. Avoiding downloads and extraneous pop-up windows, the ExpertusONE LMS simplifies the learner’s experience and enables easy access to knowledge objects, videos, quizzes, or surveys all from one platform.

With our Observation Checklist (sometimes called the “Skills Checklist”) feature, learners and managers can tie measurable goals to the training experience. This can help companies save time, money, and resources by eliminating paper-based evaluations and manual data entry while giving managers and instructors easy, on-demand access to evaluations and reporting tools that can be effortlessly merged and analyzed alongside all other data on the ExpertusONE LMS.

Gamification within the ExpertusONE LMS enables healthy competition and motivates learners to engage. Our LMS gamification features are simple to set up and manage, and they include a point and badge recognition system that rewards rising stars and learning leaders across your organization. Companies can even customize gamification elements to correspond with corporate branding or even values.

3. Efficiently create new courses from synchronous training sessions.

For a lot of companies, remote or hybrid work environments are here to stay. Long gone are the days of physically getting everyone in the company into one room, behind one projector, and guaranteeing all eyes are on the same curriculum. So, to get everyone onto the same page faster and to scale your training program effectively, your company needs to create new and relevant training quickly.

Synchronous training—through virtual meetings—can be the best way to efficiently connect learners to key training objectives and ensure that knowledge is distributed. With the ExpertusONE Meetings feature, your company can not only host synchronous, virtual sessions to conduct training or answer team member questions, but these learning sessions can then be recorded and re-shared as courses in the LMS for team members who couldn’t make it to the live session. In practice, this could look like a one-on-one sales training session being converted into a course for other sales team members to watch afterward. This LMS video conferencing feature enables your training managers to conduct live courses and ensure that their shelf life is much longer than just the initial session (without any need to re-record or rewrite).

4. ExpertusONE is the best LMS for compliance training, tracking, and reporting data.

As your organization grows, compliance becomes more complex and even more important. In order to scale, you need compliance tracking integrated into your training system. A digital LMS platform offers a way to track, manage, and report compliance data synchronously, all from a single platform. Our Learning Record Store offers a complete picture of training engagement, learner history, and overall training data, using Experience API (xAPI) standards. This ensures that compliance is always in the picture and that managers can determine the organization’s overall adherence to industry regulations.

Plus, learning data is captured automatically with ExpertusONE, so training managers can see and understand how learners are engaging with training. Of course, this data can be tied to compliance or just as well to see how well a course is being reviewed and received. With the time they’ve saved on administrative tasks, your team can then take this data to assess the relevance of training modules, highlight which courses are most effective, and brainstorm better ways to engage with learners.

Additionally, compliance training management processes—like course deadline reminders, past-due notifications, and other notices—are automated within the LMS system. While managers can certainly follow up directly with their teams about lapsed training, they don’t have to because the LMS platform automatically notifies learners when they’ve missed a deadline.

Scaling your training strategy can be simple and efficient when you are equipped with a digital LMS platform like ExpertusONE that offers the automation, engagement, efficiency, and data tools you need—all in one place—for your modern corporate training environment.
