employee efficiency

 

There are many tools out there that enable companies to train their employees. While in our previous blog post we discussed online vs offline, in this post we will discuss specific methods one can use to train employees and the work force. All of the methods listed below are provided as part of the Aktiv Mind LMS Online Course platform:

 

  1. PDF files

The use of PDF files are a great way to enable your employees to study. They provide un-editable content which you have created as a master template for them to read and follow. While this is beneficial as it keep the original content created by you, the employer, intact, many companies want to allow either the employee or the employer to be able to annotate directly on the file. There are very few education training software’s that actually allow direct annotation, but by using one that does such as Aktiv Mind LMS, the user can easily and effortlessly annotate directly on the PDF files uploaded as training material.

 

  1. Videos and Audio

While written literature is great for people to read on their own time, it can become cumbersome especially when employees have to train by reading text on a computer screen. Worse yet, if the employee needs to print out all the material, this can be detrimental to the environment, and risky for the employer as their proprietary training material can be lost or taken by a competitor. With online training software such as the Aktiv Mind LMS Online Course builder, the employer can upload or link video files/youtube files or mp3 audio. This can be beneficial and more engaging for employees as a method of training, as visual/acoustic learning has been proven to be effective in certain scenarios.

 

  1. Powerpoint slides

Many employers have used Powerpoint as a method to train their employees. If you have a large database of Powerpoint slides already prepared, it is very easy to upload them on an online training platform and provide access to all your employees. As mentioned previously, the Aktiv Mind LMS annotation system allows for direct annotation on Powerpoint slides, Excel files, and Word docs.

 

  1. Online Assessment (Tests & Quizzes)

It is all well and good to have strong training material, but how can you assess whether the material is being appropriately understood by your employees? Online assessment tools that are part of a good learning management system can be vital to the company’s goal of providing a solid training experience. As an employer, you should make sure the tests and quizzes your provide to your employees are reflective of the materials they have studied. Multiple Choice tests are by far the most popular type of assessment tool an education training software can have, and with auto marking available on many online training platforms, getting the results can be fast and easy.

Above on some of the ways you can increase your training productivity.
