7pm Monitoring progress

It’s getting late, but dedicated training managers will be keen to stay in the office a little longer to see how their e-learners are doing. For the first time, all interested parties – not just the training manager, but administrators, students, managers and tutors – can keep right up-to-date with events: who’s done what to whom, when did they do it and where?

It’s not difficult for an LMS to track who has registered for what learning and, if that learning is online, when and for how long they are logged on. To obtain much more information about online learning, such as test scores, requires data to be passed from the learning materials back to the LMS. For that to work smoothly requires an adherence to standards by both the LMS and the content providers.
