Hosted Learning

A Simple LMS alternative for managing and deploying content in an organisational or project-based requirement.

Introduction

For many organisations, Learning Management systems (LMS) or LXP (learning experience platforms) are the preferred vehicle for hosting and deploying learning content due to the tracking and management audit features. However, less than 30% of organisations have implemented or maintain regular use of some form of dedicated content management system for their internal training.

Some organisations find them difficult to implement and maintain or simply to justify the expense in relation to their use. In larger organisations it can be difficult to have new learning content loaded and maintained quickly or there may be other reasons to want the hosting outside of the central learning system.

In these types of scenarios, organisations are seeking a quick and low-effort method for hosting learning content for specific projects or deploying for on-going learning activities.

Simple, low-cost hosting for Cognito users

The Cognito option is a practical and effective ‘no frills’ approach when being used in conjunction with our Knowledge retention solution. We provide an explanation of the basic features followed by the benefits of this approach.

Simple, cost effective Key elements of our hosted solution

Host all types of learning content – from pdf and PowerPoint to videos and eLearning files.
Deploy learning on-demand and/or via managed scheduled activities through the Cognito application. Perfect for time dependant or compliance activities where audit is required.
Link completion of content to Cognito’s Knowledge retention i.e. ensure learning reinforcement kicks-in once the learner has completed the training activity.
Create hyperlinks to the hosted content from Cognito questions – where the learner wants to revisit or refresh their understanding.
Learner’s can view their content inside the portal and re-visit as appropriate.
New Content can be assigned to learners with push-notifications.
Organisation can audit learner starts and completions and see learning assignments that are still outstanding and proactively address.
