5 Reasons to opt for an LMS with Web Conferencing Feature
With work from home turning into the new normal as a result of COVID 19, organizations are seeking innovative ways to train employees. This sudden shift of a large number of the workforce working from home has made many companies adopt a remote training model. And according to LinkedIn, 94% of the employees prefer to stay longer with a company if their organization invested in learning.
One of the ways to innovate your training process is by adopting a Learning Management System that has a Web Conferencing Software like Zoom integrated into it. This amalgamation has myriads of benefits, all of which significantly increase the engagement of the learners. KloudLearn is a classic example that has blended the power of Zoom with its in-house LMS to offer world-class training facilities to all its learners.
In this blog post, we will discover the top reasons why integrating Zoom with our LMS was the perfect decision to help our partners effectively train their employees.
1. Saves time for the trainer
If your LMS platform doesn’t have a web conferencing feature, the workload will be doubled for your trainer. He/she will have to set up the training session separately using the two platforms. The chances of human error while setting up are also high, leading to more manual work.
Whereas, by integrating Zoom into our LMS, we have ensured that you can easily bypass the process of setting up the training session in Zoom but instead effortlessly schedule the training session within KloudLearn. You can create webinar sessions directly from KloudLearn and add all the details. This automatically creates information in your Zoom account, ensuring less admin work.
2. Minimizes training expenses
If you conduct training the traditional way, you might have to shell out money for site rental, travel, accommodation, printed training materials, and on-site instructors. With KloudLearn, you can host online training events and webinars from almost anywhere as long as you have internet access.
With a workforce distributed all over the map, using a platform like KloudLearn makes it easy for our partners to carry out remote online training sessions. So that their employees can stay wherever they are and still learn from the training programs.
3. Automatically notifies your employees about the training session
When you create a training session in an LMS and publish the session, it’s crucial that your employees, who are enrolled, are notified that they must attend a webinar. In the case of KloudLearn, it will do all the work for you while your trainer can focus on conducting the training session.
KloudLearn will place the session on the learners’ dashboard, making it available for them to view. And before the event begins, every employee will receive a notification email with all the necessary details they need to know. This will ensure your employees don’t miss the session.
4. Enables you to easily track data
One of the major setbacks of running a Zoom session without pairing it with your training software is manual data tracking. If you conduct a training session without integrating the two platforms, your employees will be enrolled in the webinar session in your LMS. But the attendance of the employees will be recorded in Zoom. So again, as a trainer, you need to cross-reference them. This would be laborious, manual work.
On the other hand, the pairing of Zoom and KloudLearn allows you to skip the time-consuming manual task of cross-referencing the attendees. You will be able to find out each of the employee’s training information without any manual labor from your end.
This also eliminates the challenge of tracking everyone when a large number of employees attend a single training session. Also, tracking attendance is crucial to ensure that your online training is as successful as your in-person training.
5. Allows you to provide pre-session training materials
One of the best and easiest ways to ensure your training session is effective is to provide your trainees with pre-session training material. If you can share some relevant information about the training with your attendees a few days before the session, they will be able to effectively prepare ahead for the training.
An LMS platform will allow you to easily upload training materials from your computer. Or, you can even create materials directly in the LMS platform. The training materials could be in the form of PDFs, Documents, Audio, Visuals, and Powerpoint presentations. This will let you not only provide learning materials but also assignments before your training session.
Offering pre-session training materials will let the instructor save time during the training session. Because there won’t be any knowledge gaps between the trainer and the attendees. Plus, your employees will be well prepared in advance with questions and stuff needed for discussion during the actual training.
