Every week throughout the year Coggno is contacted by trainers, content developers, instructional designers and would-be courseware developers who are searching for a means to take their traditionally off line training, online. Most often they have a specific expertise around a subject or domain that they have spent years developing and delivering in a traditional format, and they have decided to take their training online.
This usually falls into two categories, making the jump from instructor lead training, to an online format, or converting DVD based training onto an LMS format. While this can seem like a daunting task, if it is carefully planned, and executed, making the leap to an online training course can be the beginning of a whole new avenue to deliver and expand your audience.

Training on the Go
Last week, due to my own personal discovery of online tools (which are available to anyone seeking knowledge or the means of providing it), I was able to complete a book that would have otherwise taken me about two weeks. LMS training courses could benefit from this kind of gap time.
My daily chores and commutes suddenly became interesting and relevant to my life, and they seemed to go by faster. In just four days, I had read the whole Book I of Don Quixote, without making any changes in my daily schedule.
Every employee, no matter what their daily routines are, can surely find at least an hour or two daily that is "sunk" time, or time when they are not doing much other than skimming the newspaper in the subway, driving, or exercising. Everyone has gap spaces in their schedule while are perfect times for learning.
Podcasts and audiobooks are a pedagogical tool not used widely enough in today's education system, from youth to adult learning. With LMS platforms for employee online training, podcasts are extremely easy--and fun--to create.

Improve Cognitive Abilities for Work and Life
How can you create a positive atmosphere in your workplace and provide great LMS training that is effective, stimulating, and prompts a sense of "flow" that boosts performance?
In Csikszentmihalyi's flow studies, he found that one major preoccupation that prevented people from enjoying what they are doing is how they appear to others, or what others might think about them. As Doctor Phil has said many times (love or hate him, he has some great things to say about human behavior), one thing that unites humankind is the fear that we don't measure up. Everyone feels this way at one time or another, and the kind of workplace and training that are present in a person's life have a great deal to do with the strength of this feeling. It can affect performance in ways that managers don't even imagine. If a worker feels underestimated, unchallenged, or bored, he or she is unlikely to perform to the optimal capacity.
Coggno is now offering a free trial for performance review training creators on its learning management system. Create online training for free, whether it be for internal use, for inclusion in Coggno's E-learning Marketplace, or for outside syndication on hundreds of websites.

Theory vs. Practice in Books and Courses on Performance MGMT
Learning not only theory but how to actually implement good performance management in your office or other workplace has the potential to save your organization time and energy wasted in employee turnover. Books can give you theory, but not the physical tools to organize and practice more effective management. This is where LMS performance management courses come in.
What an LMS course in performance management gives you is that interactive learning experience, which has many benefits including the simple fact that it's faster and simpler than reading a book. In addition, its dynamic and interactive nature makes the information more likely to stick in your brain long-term and likelier to totally transform your management practices. The non-interactive nature of books prevents them from having this same function.
You probably already know some tenets of good performance management, but perhaps you don't know how to actually implement those ideas. You may be wondering, how can you foster the drive for success in your employees? Start by creating goal-oriented performance review meetings and appraisals.

Motivate Employees with Training
How can you ensure that the employee you have hired fulfills the expectations and the work that you have for him/her? The answer is in the first few weeks of an employee's new term--during training.
Dynamic and effective training ensures that employees understand their tasks, gives them the practice and theory they will need to do their job with excellence, and creates a greater sense of team spirit in the workplace. In fact, there is a growing trend to nurture the team spirit and true engagement aspects of training.

Score a Pay Raise at your Performance Review
With the economy on the upswing, you may find it the right time to finally approach your manager about a pay raise. A great context in which to do so is during a successful performance review. If your performance review is less than sparkling, it may not be the best time. So how can you nail your performance review?
Go in prepared. You might first consider taking a brief LMS preparation course. By doing so you'll not only learn all the tips on how to have a successful interview, but many LMS courses also provide practice reviews and checklists to help you prepare.
You'll find out the answers to questions such as: What control can I exercise during my performance review? What will the review cover, and what time periods will be reviewed? How can I showcase my accomplishments from the past year? The more prepared you go in to the interview, of course, the more successful you will be. The response your pay raise appeal receives is also likelier to be positive the stronger case you present for yourself.

How to Gain Leverage During Your Annual Performance Review
Do you recall that feeling you had in grade school the moment you found out that report card time is near? If you had good grades in the past months, you were not at all worried. You may have even been looking forward to it knowing that you are about to get a reward from your parents for a job well done. But if you are unconfident about your performance during the semester, you probably felt butterflies in your stomach.
Hop on to the present and you find yourself reintroduced to that old feeling all over again. Getting your annual performance review is just like getting your report card when you were young. You are told how if you did a great job the past year or not hoping that you will learn from it and set new goals for the future.
Both parties benefit from a performance review – you get to know what your boss expects you to do and you get the opportunity to explain what you want from your job as well. Heading to an annual performance review is not really one of the most exciting events in your life. But instead of giving in to your anxiety as you wait for you grades, there are some things that you can do to lighten up the actual review.
• Have a back up for your points
A good place to start your preparation is with your portion of the review. Look at the points that you mentioned in your review and highlight your achievements. Watch out for weak points that could prompt some questions and think of a good answer if they come up during the review.
• Get ahead of issues and concerns
Predicting possible issues and areas of concern will give you leverage during the review. Even when you are expecting a good discussion, think about certain issues that your boss may raise and what you will say if they come up.
• Know your lapses
You should spend time thinking about your skill and competency lapses and possible solutions to close those gaps. Perhaps your blunders were due to lack of knowledge, insufficient training, poor management or a combination of the three. Know your competency gaps and think about ways to solve them.

Great Language Podcasts for LMS Students
What kind of content should you include in your LMS language course podcast? Choosing interesting material is a subjective task, since everyone has a different concept of what's actually interesting. However, it's the way in which you present the information that makes or breaks your podcast.

Intersperse music, pieces of interviews, sound bites, etc. throughout your podcast. This is a great way to lend it texture and continuity. Additionally, your dialogue should sound conversational, and the listener should feel like the podcaster is speaking directly to him or her rather than reading from a script. You can also record interviews and discussions, or include clips of these kinds of dialogues to include in the LMS course.

Learning Management Systems Help Manage Outsourced Extensions
As any company with an outsourced extension knows, business process outsourcing (BPO) can involve certain risks. Security, disconnect, lack of motivation, and unforeseen costs are just a few. However, learning management systems (LMS) can help mitigate these risks by creating a more centralized training system, in which all employees are trained to execute the same processes. In doing so, outsourced extensions of a company are able to operate in a more unified and parallel way, and avoid the traps that so many outsourcing organizations fall into.
What are some of the risks involved in business process outsourcing, and how can a learning management system prevent them?
One risk is a disconnect between you and your outsourced extension. For that reason, a strong learning management system course that deals with compliance training topics such as communication strategies and specific processes is key.
Solid LMS training for managers is an essential implementation for BPO extensions. For example, a course in project management could help your managers review project management processes, project and team cycles, and evaluation and improvement techniques. A project management course is able to orient both staff and managers to the functions and tools needed for successful management.
Another kind of course with great benefits for managers in an outsourced post is a course that covers team dynamics and staff motivation. While most managers would agree that staff motivation is a critical element of managerial duties, many do not actually practice effective motivation, and are in the dark as to what kinds of strategies, techniques, and theories factor in.
A learning management system course that trains managers on what kind of motivation strategies actually work, and how to implement them, is a strong preventative measure against BPO risks such as a changing attitude among employees or low employee morale.
