New LMS Business Courses to Fulfill Your Company Training Objectives

As more companies reassess their budget, more are also redefining their training needs and seeking more efficient training methods with learning management systems and other online tools. Successful teams and collaborative groups within an organization can determine whether or not an organization is destined to grow and compete.

For this reason, organizations that encourage and/or require collaboration between employees would benefit from teamwork training such as SilkWeb's Team Dynamics, a course that covers the stages of group development, communication, and conflict.

While most managers will claim to understand that motivation of staff is a critical element of managerial duties, many do not actually practice effective motivation, and are in fact clueless as to what kinds of strategies, techniques, and theories factor in. What kinds of motivation strategies actually work? This course Motivation in the Workplace reviews several popular motivational theories and methods for managerial success.

Another course, Project Management, helps organizations remain competitive and relevant in a time of perpetual change. It reviews project management processes, project and team cycles, and evaluation and improvement techniques. The objective of this program is to orient both staff and managers to the functions and tools needed for successful management.

Business Writing is a SilkWeb course that is also designed for both managers and staff, and which reviews styles, tones, bias, strategies, and uses of technology in business communication. And Creating a Professional Resume teaches users how to write a powerful and effective resume, based on one’s professional skills and abilities. The course Writing Reports trains users in the development of formal reports in the business environment.

Finally, Communication in the Workplace focuses on the role and different types of communication in the workplace, including communication strategies and tone, to improve the effectiveness of participant communication. Communication training can help both managers and staff become better communicators, and achieve organizational goals together.

Successful compliance and management training is proven to save organizations a significant amount of time and money. And when organizations adopt e-learning solutions through a pay-per-use learning management systems such as Coggno, the costs of training itself are significantly less than those of commercial LMS licenses and traditional training methods. For this reason and others, more organizations are finding online training solutions to meet compliance and management training needs.

Never be Asked to Try Again with Coggno's Learning Management System

Juggling all the different subscription, banking, social network, email, learning management system, and other account passwords is overwhelming. And it seems like more and more websites are creating increasingly complicated password requirements.

Your old stand-by password is suddenly no good anymore. Some sites want a mix of numbers and letters in your password. Some require more than 5 or 6 characters. Others want a combination of lower-case and capital letters, others a mix of both plus numbers, while the most horrible sticklers require a more-than-six-character mix of both cases plus numbers.

Some very efficient, clever, and/or über-organized people have found tricks for remembering passwords. For example, I read about one trick where you take the first and last letters of the website name, and stick your usual password in the middle, adding perhaps a number or two that you always use. I read about another trick too, but I've forgotten it. Just as I've forgotten the passwords to oh-so-many subscriptions, networks, and other sites.

I know I'm not alone. And that's why universal login, that magical feature that learning management systems and other e-learning platforms are beginning to adopt on a wider scale, is so smart.

For organizations and schools delivering e-learning content to large numbers of students, accessibility and ease are essential. And universal login provides this in a simple and logical way.

To aid organizations and all users in their virtual learning environment access, Coggno has recently integrated RPX with its learning management system. Accessing your training or other e-learning content is now so, so simple.

Coggno no longer requires users to create a Coggno account, providing instead a smorgasbord of login options. Through the RPX app, users can now access Coggno using identities from major sites such as Google, AOL, Yahoo!, Twitter, WordPress, MySpace, and Facebook.

E-Learning Tools and Learning Management Systems for an Evolving World

E-learning courses hosted on a learning management system need to overcome the danger of students copying, giving unoriginal responses to questions, or simply reiterating the responses of other students.

From online training and learning content to the use of discussion boards and other Web 2.0 tools for educational purposes, there is a real possibility in many contexts that students are simply looking up the answers, copying and pasting responses, and learning nothing. Depending on the content, it may have a profound impact on the course's effectiveness.

Education in its online form must undergo some critical growing pains. One of the most common complaints I hear from e-learning students is that courses are simply too easy. Peer originality becomes dubious. And for educators, student effort becomes harder to monitor. Or does it?

What we really need is smarter e-learning design and deployment. It's not enough to create good content, get it out there, and expect students to be engaged. The effective use of Web 2.0 programs, learning management systems, and online courseware in an online learning context requires strategy.

This strategy can be built into the course, developed and maintained by a course administrator or educator, and/or enforced in a face-to-face learning environment if one exists. Tools like Coggno's Activities feature allows LMS administrators to track student activity. Another strategy is to build exams that effectively test student knowledge, rather than asking them to solve problems and post them on a board.

If you're choosing a learning management system for e-learning training or a virtual classroom, choose one based on its built-in solutions to an evolving world.
