Last March, eLogic Learning provided Learning SolutionsConference & Expo attendees a first look at screenshots from an upcomingversion of its eSSential Learning Management System (LMS). Version 10 (v10)included a brand-new, modern user interface, which at the time of theconference was still in the final building and testing phase so it could berolled out in May.
Since then, the UI has gone live, and the new look was and stillis well-received by clients and new prospects alike. However, the systemupdates didn’t stop there. Once v10 was up and running, the team resumed itsnormal enhancement release schedule. That is, every three to four weeks, a newbatch of updates hit the system.
In the third and fourth quarters of 2016, eLogic released 98enhancements, and the company has already released 43 more in 2017. Some ofthese updates improve specific pieces of functionality within the system, whileothers (like the seven below) have a larger-scale impact on eLogic’s clientsand their overall use of the LMS.
Here’s a quick summation of the top enhancements to come outof the last 12 months:
- Learning pathsnested with learning paths—Clients can now designate not only a “parent”learning path but also one or multiple “child” learning paths within the parent.
- Curriculumtemplates—For large course library updates, admins may now help drasticallyreduce the time of these updates by using curriculum templates. For example, ifa client wants to update 500 courses in their library to use a new registrationnotification, this can be done by using a curriculum template.
- Theme-levelsite pages—This new feature allows clients to have different site contentareas that will display to the end users based on the theme the end user isassigned. This speaks to extended enterprise clients in a new and powerful way,offering a number of branded themes for users.
- Prerequisiteenhancements—The new prerequisite functionality allows multipleprerequisite requirements to be created (two or more courses could be required,as an example), as well as multiple options within each requirement to bedefined.
- Certificationenhancements—An “external” certification type has been added to the LMS.This allows for manual entry of an externally earned certification. Theseself-reported certifications can either be automatically approved or routedthrough an approval process.
- CitrixGoToTraining, GoToWebinar, and GoToMeeting automated integration—The LMSnow supports automated integration with Citrix GoToTraining, GoToWebinar, andGoToMeeting in addition to WebEx.
- New compliancepath requirement type—Compliance path requirements now have the option ofbeing based on either number of curricula (existing functionality) or number ofhours (new feature). When the “number of hours” option is selected, the systemwill sum the hours for the curricula completed to determine if the requirementis satisfied instead.
