Learning Management System platforms of today essentially work on big data. With so much data, you get the freedom to scrutinize every chart, graph, statistic from different perspectives and improve your learning program as per the learners’ requirements. Here are some metrics you can utilize in your Learning Management System platform to track the performance of your employees across different courses:
Course completion rates
With corporate training, course completion rates are generally very dismal. It’s because you can get your people to enrol in different courses, but completing them thoroughly is something that they’ll need to push themselves for. You can use this metric to figure out the number of people who are completing their courses. You can also figure out key information like – whether they click away from the before absorbing the information, is there a lack of engagement with your courses and learning program, and much more. If you’re witnessing an overall low course completion rate, you might want to talk to the learners and figure out their pain points. Low course completion rates are generally an indicator of an ineffective learning atmosphere. With this metric by your side, you’ll be on your way to make your first informed steps towards tracking and improving your learners’ performance.
Learner satisfaction and engagement
To offer your learners the best learning modules and experience, you need to know what their overall satisfaction levels regarding the course are. Are they able to get the information they require in their day-to-day jobs, or is the learning program being rendered useless to them on their tasks? Is there a way to keep the learners engaged and entertained? Satisfaction levels and engagement ratings can help you get into the minds of your learners. This can be done by taking polls, questionnaires, surveys, and a lot more. You can host such polls and more on the LMS itself and use the LMS to analyze the data and generate satisfaction and engagement reports. Suppose the numbers reflect a low level of engagement and satisfaction. In that case, you can incorporate innovative components like gamification, virtual simulation, and other AI-based solutions to amplify the interactivity manifolds cost-effectively!
Learners’ progress and on-the-job performance
When it comes to tracking progress and on-the-job performance, the metric can usually be divided into individual performance and group performance. Individual progress reports help you understand how each learner is going about their learning programs. Whether they are successful in completing the course or not, are they able to churn out useful information from the course, and so on. In the case of group performance, you can look at different data visualizations that cover different trends. For instance, you might find that 60% of your learners need to complete monthly compliance modules. With this information, you’ll be able to talk to specifically that group of people and push them towards compliance module completion. Both the individual and group progress metrics can help you track the performance and efficiency of your learning management system platform.
Manager and instructor ratings
Instructors, managers, and other people from the leadership team are important elements for the success of any online learning program. Not only do they motivate and inspire the learners and help them overcome challenges, but they also act as benchmarks of sorts. The approval ratings given by managers and instructors to various learners clearly indicate how well the learners are performing in their training. If there’s some issue with manager or instructor ratings, you can set up personal calls and conferences with the learners and address any concerns that might be stopping them from performing their best. You can also collaborate with the leadership team to share the results and identify areas for improvement for different learners.
In conclusion
Learning programs are said to be successful if and only if the learners involved in them are able to gather useful knowledge and information from them. The best way to track whether or not this is happening is by measuring performance and assessing the learners’ pain points. A learning management system platform with data analytics capabilities helps you take care of most such measurements and visualizations. All you have to do is study the analysis and reports and take the important next steps for the benefit of your organization and learners!
