What is a learning platform?

A learning platform is an online environment that supports education by offering various tools and resources. 

It provides access to courses, assignments, and materials, allowing learners to study at their own pace or follow a structured path. 

What features does our learning platform have?

Create learning content by uploading a variety of files. Content can then be grouped into courses, and/or assigned to individuals or groups of learners. 

You can assign roles to individuals so they can control who has access to different content, platform features and levels of administration. 

Assessments and assignments can be created and assigned to learners, who then complete and submit the assigned training via the learning platform. Question types can vary greatly from multiple choice through to free text, true or false, complete the blanks, and much more.

We’ve built gamification elements starting with point allocation. 

This allows you to reward points, and then build out leaderboards, badges and more to incentivise learners.

Our learning platform offers a direct link to Stripe that allows you to add a seamless checkout experience.

Once paid, the learner will get instant access to your content.

Track learner progress by reporting on key metrics i.e., completion, success, and attendance.

This helps admins to understand where knowledge gaps lie within the organisation so they can be filled.

Respond directly to individual learner and group needs and feedback by creating custom learning pathways. This can help identify areas where learners are struggling so you can provide additional support.

Cost savings

A learning platform can reduce employee travel, often required with traditional training courses and reduces the need to use external instructors.

Consistency

Training via a learning platform is centralised and therefore consistent. All employees are granted access to a single source for all learning materials.

Compliance

A learning platform can help fulfil legal and regulatory training requirements by ensuring those who need it are assigned the learning and training materials and completion is then tracked easily.

Track progress and performance

Reports can be generated on an individual, group, or company-wide level meaning you can track the progress of the organisation, identify skills gaps and determine ROI of learning and development.
