CORPORATE LEARNING: PROVISION OF E-LEARNING WITHOUT LMS

Dilemma with a learning platform (LMS)

If you want to use digital learning content to your employees using a learning management system (LMS), you are probably familiar with this: you upload the content to the learning platform and can make it available to your team in a course catalog or assign it to them directly, e.g. based on a job profile.  

But what happens when companies want to release their e-learning externally without an LMS? Either because they cannot or do not want to give external persons access to the Learning Management System or because they do not yet have an LMS?

Solution for interactive e-learning without an LMS?

An authoring tool with user management (like isEazy or Flowsparks) offers an optimal solution here. With this technology, course content can be provided in various ways. In addition to the option of providing content as classic e-learning in SCORM format and integrating it into an LMS manually or via interfaces, there are two other options. The simplest option allows external persons to be sent an external link. This allows them to access a specific course content directly without having to log in. The disadvantage here is that you cannot track who has worked on which course content.

You can also offer external learners the option of self-registration. In this case, it is possible for learners to register for a learning event or for a specific learning course. Users who register automatically receive the authorizations defined for the participant group.

In practice, this is how self-registration works:

1. Anyone interested in taking part in an online learning event will receive a link together with an event code.
2. This link will take you to the organizer's registration page.
3. Depending on the event code, participants receive direct access to various learning activities via the registration page.
4. By entering the code, participants indicate which specific online training course they would like to register for.
5. This can now contain a wide variety of digital learning media. There is also the option to block certain content until previous content has been completed.

Customer project - Implementation of course without learning management system

In the case of a customer of Mauth.CC, it should be part of the sales training external learning content, a final exam, interaction and a subsequent evaluation evaluation. The exam should be activated for a desired time after the start and provided with continuous reminders as to how much time the participant has left. The exam is then blocked. Both the exam and the evaluation are based on flexible templates from the authoring tool, which can only be filled in once and then reused for each event with the same content.

The customer can use the tool to check directly which external participants have registered and passed the exam. The customer uses the reports as a basis for subsequently sending certificates to learners who have passed the exam. Alternatively, there is also the option of simply offering certificates for participants to download directly from the course page, provided the exam was passed during the learning process.

Intelligent authoring tools thus often offer the advantage of a simple solution for external participants and organizers to combine quick access to the digital learning experience with its evaluation.
