E-LEARNING SOFTWARE

• Is the licence only necessary for the creator of the e-learning or must all users purchase this licence?

Only the creators (authors) of e-learnings require a licence. The result is an e-learning solution that can be used by everyone, without any connection to the iSpring Suite and without a licence.

• Will it be possible in future to store PPT as SOP or further applicable documents instead of “only” Word and Excel documents?

The use of PowerPoint presentations will be supported in future versions of SOP Management. However, we will have some limitations here, as we will not have the placeholders for inserting document information (e.g. titles) in presentations.

• What does the process look like if an e-learning is not passed? How often can an e-learning be repeated? Is it possible to generate a notification to the supervisor after failing for the X-th time?

With version 3.0, we will not yet support this limitation. In a subsequent version, however, it will be possible to configure how often a user may repeat an e-learning and which group of people will be informed in this case (training coordinator, supervisor).

• With the introduction of e-learning, does the function of “normal” exams still exist? Are there more question options available?

Yes – at this point we also plan to provide support for the learning controls that have been created. The existing question options will not be expanded further, so that no new question types are supported here.

• What is the purpose of e-learning software?

E-learning software is used by companies to manage their learning content and processes. The best e-learning software solutions are characterised by user-friendliness and a wide range of functions.

• What is generally understood by e-learning?

E-learning refers to learning with digital media or tools. It includes the preparation, presentation and distribution of learning content in the form of e-books, blogs, forums or e-learning courses. The digitally prepared learning content is often provided and managed on a learning platform. For companies, this means a considerable simplification and improvement in internal training.

• What is the e-learning software solution?

The e-learning software solution is a platform that allows companies to create and manage online courses. It enables the creation of content, the management of learners and the tracking of progress.

• How does the e-learning software differ from other similar solutions?

There are many different types of e-learning solutions on the market today, but they all have one thing in common: they enable the creation and distribution of content that learners can access through a platform. However, there are some important differences between the different types of solutions. Our specialists will be happy to check with you in a live webcast whether our E-learning software is suitable for your company.

• What is an LMS?

LMS stands for Learning Management System. It is a type of e-learning software that helps companies create, deliver, and manage online courses.

• What type of learner is best suited for an LMS?

Any employee who needs access to training materials can benefit from using an LMS.

• What advantages does e-learning software offer companies?

The use of e-learning software offers companies many advantages and opportunities. E-learning does not only enable cost savings, but also makes the entire learning process flexible and controllable. Monitoring results and employee management is also made easier.

Additional advantages include:

• Learning independent of time and place (online)
• Significant savings on travel and accommodation costs
• Interaction options
• Individual electronic exams
• Better overview of the learners
• Flexible adaptation to specific needs
• Easy integration of multimedia content (videos, audio, etc.)
• Combination of different forms (blended learning)
• Learning adapted to prior knowledge possible
• Different prior knowledge can be better compensated
• Flexible and multilingual learning possible
• E-learning increases independence
• Standardised quality
• Use of a tool with many functions

The e-learning software solution has many advantages for companies. They can use it to create and manage online courses so they don’t have to hire expensive external consultants or developers. The software also has features like gamification that encourage learners to engage more with the material, making it easier for them to learn new things.

• What distinguishes e-learning software from other learning management systems?

The e-learning software solution is different from other learning management systems because it is designed specifically for organisations that want to create and manage online courses without hiring external consultants or developers. Other LMS may not be able to handle this type of task as well as our product — they may not have all the features needed to create an effective course or manage learners effectively.

• If e-learning is also possible for users with sporadic access, are proofs of qualification stored in Training Management?

Yes – for both online and offline users, the associated proofs of qualification are created in Training Management when an e-learning course is completed.

• What does a proof for the successful completion of an e-learning look like?

If an employee has successfully completed an e-learning, the employee will receive proof, just like in the module “Training Management”, which consequently changes the current version of the associated specification document or the associated additional qualification to 100% within a qualification matrix.

• Is the confirmation of an answered question (right/wrong) also possible via the existing electronic exam when linked to the module “Training Management”?

Support for success controls is planned. Thus, on the one hand, there are considerably more question types to choose from and on the other hand, the user always receives feedback after each question and at the end of the exam.

• Can e-learnings be versioned?

Yes – e-learnings are also versioned and managed in the d.3 archive.

• Can existing PowerPoint presentations be used as e-learnings?

Yes, existing PowerPoint presentations can be used with the e-learning software. We also offer the service of converting existing PowerPoint presentations into an e-learning format. Ready-made e-learning courses can also be purchased from PTS Training Service.

• Does e-learning also work for users who only have sporadic access?

Yes – the users have to be created in the d.3 archive as before and need, for example, a “computer with web browser” to log in to the training portal. The assigned e-learnings are then displayed there. A shared computer or tablet PC in the production facility can also be used.

• Is the e-learning also accessible externally without a VPN (e.g. for external service providers)?

There is nothing to prevent the presented training portal from being installed in your company network or DMZ (specially secured section of your company network). This would also allow access to the training portal from outside without VPN.
