It’s not only about avoiding physical injury or sexual harassment; there are many valuable lessons to learn about workplace safety, just not enough hours in the day to get them done. &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/onlinetraining"&gt;Online training &lt;/a&gt;is an easy, cost-effective way to get all your employees involved, on their own time, without having to herd them all into stuffy conference rooms.

The old methods are no longer sufficient for companies to hire the employees they feel will fit into their company’s business model, so there is a need for human resources personnel to learn and implement new methodology for screening new employees and assuring existing employees meet the company’s needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ability to work with new and old employees is an important one because companies want to eliminate turnover in both departments and within the company as a whole. Being able to use &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/onlinetraining"&gt;online training &lt;/a&gt;is both cost-effective and time-sensitive because there is no need for employees to sit down and write out answers that need to have someone manually evaluate the knowledge of the person taking the test. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Related Post: &lt;a href="http://coggno.com/learning-management-system/online-training-can-help-your-company-maximize-its-human-resources-department.html"&gt;Maximize Human Resources through Online Training&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-3517825429501279767?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/3517825429501279767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2011/02/assessment-solutions-can-maximize.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/3517825429501279767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/3517825429501279767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2011/02/assessment-solutions-can-maximize.html' title='Assessment Solutions Can Maximize the Efficiency of Human Resources Functions'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-5387222603643977644</id><published>2011-02-10T19:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T19:08:51.714-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='students'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online courses'/><title type='text'>LMSs Enhance Learning for Shorter Attention Spans</title><content type='html'>As the internet generation is bombarded with newer and newer ways to distract itself, we can’t really get a clear picture of all the consequences they’re having on young people’s learning systems. But one outcome is plain to anyone who spends time in any classroom, whether it’s 100% face-to-face or LMS-supplemented: shorter attention spans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies show that the digital generation is less willing to read long texts, perform repetitious exercises, and memorize basic information needed to advance in any learning system, &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com"&gt;LMS&lt;/a&gt; or otherwise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One problem is that this tech-savvy generation expects instant gratification, and therefore is quicker to lose confidence when faced with challenges. When success is not immediately obtained, students are quicker to lose the confidence required to see a difficult task through to completion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Related Post:&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/learning-management-system/lms-online-education-for-the-digital-generation.html"&gt; LMS Online Education for the Digital Generation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-5387222603643977644?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/5387222603643977644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2011/02/lmss-enhance-learning-for-shorter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/5387222603643977644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/5387222603643977644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2011/02/lmss-enhance-learning-for-shorter.html' title='LMSs Enhance Learning for Shorter Attention Spans'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-7419342921522451296</id><published>2011-01-31T20:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T20:27:07.670-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online training'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='career advancement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ongoing education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skills'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online course'/><title type='text'>Why it's important to continue your education after graduation</title><content type='html'>There are many reasons why it is important to continue your education long after graduation, but three reasons seem to stand out more than others. The first being able to stay on top of your career and make sure that you have all the new skills that come with the advancements of technologies. The second being able to earn more money will surely benefit you and your family in the years to come. The third reason, and maybe the most important, is you can fulfill the hunger your spirit and brain has to never stop learning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment we close our eyes to the power that ongoing education can have for our overall health, is the moment we choose to let our emotional health wither away and die.

But why not design your own, customized to your organization's specific retail training requirements?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LMS platforms allow organizations to provide their employees and managers with robust training courses which are specifically designed for unique organizational structures. Using tools such as podcasts, video tools, simulation technology, streaming and other simple-to-use &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com"&gt;LMS&lt;/a&gt; tools, retail training can be tailored to individual companies and provided in a user-friendly way. For beginner authors of online courses, simple and user-friendly LMS course creation toolkits are available. Additionally, after designing a training course, authors can choose to syndicate the course, use it in-house only, or a combination of both. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some LMS platforms include their own marketplace where online courses can be showcased and sold. Additionally, for the pre-packaged option, online courses that others have designed can also be found on some LMS sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Related Post: &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/learning-management-system/retail-training-the-home-grown-option.html"&gt;Retail Training: The Home-Grown Option&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-5898444805143291564?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/5898444805143291564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2011/01/customize-your-retail-training.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/5898444805143291564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/5898444805143291564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2011/01/customize-your-retail-training.html' title='Customize Your Retail Training'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-1584676586614902203</id><published>2011-01-10T19:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-10T19:40:39.379-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fitness trainers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='students'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online training'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skills'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='certification programs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='course creation tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning authors'/><title type='text'>Fitness Certification LMS Tools</title><content type='html'>LMSs offer great resources for students and authors of fitness trainer certification courses.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 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 &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/onlinetraining"&gt;online training &lt;/a&gt;course can be the beginning of a whole new avenue to deliver and expand your audience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Related Post:&lt;a href="http://coggno.com/learning-management-system/new-year%e2%80%99s-resolution-for-your-online-training-course-initiative.html"&gt; New Year’s Resolution for your Online Training course initiative&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-8759073475697040724?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/8759073475697040724/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-years-resolution-get-your-course.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/8759073475697040724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/8759073475697040724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-years-resolution-get-your-course.html' title='New Year’s Resolution- Get your Course Online!'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-5720692943103790644</id><published>2010-12-03T06:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-03T06:25:28.461-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='podcasts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online training'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='training'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='employees'/><title type='text'>Training on the Go</title><content type='html'>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. &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com"&gt;LMS&lt;/a&gt; training courses could benefit from this kind of gap time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daily chores and commutes suddenly became interesting and relevant to my life, and they seemed to go by faster.

Everyone has gap spaces in their schedule while are perfect times for learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Podcasts and audiobooks are a pedagogical tool not used widely enough in today's education system, from youth to adult learning.

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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coggno is now offering a free trial for performance review training creators on its learning management system.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?

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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com"&gt;Coggno is now offering a free trial for performance review training creators on its learning management system.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Have a back up for your points&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Get ahead of issues and concerns &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Know your lapses&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com"&gt;Coggno is now offering a free trial for management training program creators on its learning management system.

What kind of management? Two kinds--time management and learning management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time management will become second nature to you as a homeschooler. Although learning management systems and other online learning materials are relatively mess-free, you'll be doing all kinds of projects (including art and science) that will inevitably cause clutter. And lesson-planning and clutter-cleaning are on top of the regular house chores. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Coggno is now offering a free trial for home educators on its learning management system. Create online courses for home use, or for syndication.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning management can be greatly aided with a learning management system and other online tools.  Home educators have a great deal of work to do, and a learning management system can help with things like grading, record-keeping, and lesson planning.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Coggno is now offering a free trial for online course creators on its learning management system. Create an online course for free, either for internal use, Coggno's E-learning Marketplace, or for outside syndication on hundreds of websites. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that interesting audio information--especially for language podcasts--is that which varies in texture and tone. Speak slowly, and keep the tone light and fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Related Post: &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/learning-management-system/four-texture-lending-tips-for-language-course-podcasts.html"&gt;Four Texture-Lending Tips for Language Course Podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-1629074313515898025?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/1629074313515898025/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2010/05/great-language-podcasts-for-lms.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/1629074313515898025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/1629074313515898025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2010/05/great-language-podcasts-for-lms.html' title='Great Language Podcasts for LMS Students'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-4711628084276984286</id><published>2010-05-09T19:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-09T20:01:07.901-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICT skills'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='students'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lessons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='curriculum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homeschooling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online courses'/><title type='text'>Homeschooling - Technological Benefits for Your Child</title><content type='html'>There are many good reasons to consider homeschooling as an alternative to a public or private school system for your child.

Security, disconnect, lack of motivation, and unforeseen costs are just a few. However, &lt;strong&gt;learning management systems&lt;/strong&gt; (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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are some of the risks involved in business process outsourcing, and how can a &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;learning management system&lt;/a&gt; prevent them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One risk is a disconnect between you and your outsourced extension. For that reason, a strong &lt;strong&gt;learning management system&lt;/strong&gt; course that deals with compliance training topics such as communication strategies and specific processes is key.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;learning management system&lt;/strong&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Related Post: &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/learning-management-system/learning-management-system-training-nips-bpo-problems-in-the-bud.html"&gt;Learning Management System Training Nips BPO Problems in the Bud&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-317106669292626239?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/317106669292626239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2010/03/learning-management-systems-help-manage.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/317106669292626239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/317106669292626239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2010/03/learning-management-systems-help-manage.html' title='Learning Management Systems Help Manage Outsourced Extensions'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-4248387763511193431</id><published>2010-02-23T16:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-23T16:48:01.146-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='computer courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='user-friendly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='convenient for employees'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='best programmers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='systematic compilation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='course management'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='current trends'/><title type='text'>Making Course Management Easy through Learning Management System</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Learning Management System &lt;/a&gt;is currently taking the lead in helping over a thousand companies to use in their application processes.

This helps to save the company a lot of money and also ensures that the company is efficient in its functioning by reducing the amount of emission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related post: &lt;a title="Permanent Link to Learning Management System Brings Curriculum that will help Educate on How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint" href="http://www.coggno.com/learning-management-system/learning-management-system-brings-curriculum-that-will-help-educate-on-how-to-reduce-your-carbon-footprint.html" rel="bookmark"&gt;Learning Management System Brings Curriculum that will help Educate on How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-15120883592593812?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/15120883592593812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2009/12/role-played-by-learning-management.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/15120883592593812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/15120883592593812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2009/12/role-played-by-learning-management.html' title='The role played by Learning Management System in reducing a company’s Carbon Footprint'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-25371703203793075</id><published>2009-12-10T09:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-10T09:35:29.023-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business development strategies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='certification programs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quantum Six'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lean Six Sigma'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='interactive training courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning marketplace'/><title type='text'>Right LMS Fit for Six Sigma Training</title><content type='html'>For organizations seeking business development training, not just any &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/learning-management-system/coggnos-lms-chosen-for-lean-six-sigma-training.html"&gt;LMS&lt;/a&gt; will be the right fit. Every LMS or LCMS offers its own training development toolkit and courses to cover a wide spectrum of organizational needs. Organizations often require training for managers and staff for new business development strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, Lean Six Sigma is a business development strategy that doesn’t necessarily run on its own; it requires training and preparation to effectively help organizations achieve their production goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coggno's E-Learning Marketplace includes a range of business training modules, including courses for business development strategies and certification programs. QuantumSix, the business training giant responsible for Lean Six Sigma, uses Coggno's LMS to deploy its online training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What exactly is Six Sigma? Originally developed by Motorola, many businesses use it today as their business management strategy. According to Jiju Antony ("Pros and cons of Six Sigma: an academic perspective", May 2008) the objective of Six Sigma is to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. Six Sigma uses statistical and other quality management methods to create a special infrastructure of experts (Black Belts, Green Belts, etc.) within the organization. Each Six Sigma project employed by an organization includes a defined sequence of steps and includes quantified targets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basic goal of the Six Sigma methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy. This strategy focuses on improving processes through the application of  Six Sigma improvement projects.&lt;br /&gt;Quantum Six (Q6) is a niche global firm that offers expertise in Business Process Management and Procurement. Its services include consulting, training development, and writing support. Q6 helps companies streamline processes and drive their financial savings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Develop and deliver interactive training courses with Coggno's &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Learning Management System &lt;/a&gt;(LMS) Online.

For example, it generally takes at least three times as long to build e-learning material than it goes to create face-to-face training. However, depending on your needs, online training is typically quite cost-effective compared with face-to-face training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time spent by the learner in the learning environment (aka "seat time"), is one important source of savings when going the online route. Depending on the learning material, online learning usually has a pronounced advantage over classroom training in this regard. Research suggests a roughly 50% reduction in seat time when a course is performed online. This depends on the content, of course, but for most types of learning material it applies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your ability to change the format of learning material into many kinds of media (video, audio, text, etc.) is inherently time-saving. For instance, content is read about twice as fast as compared to its spoken form (for example, written text versus a lecture). Learning management system training, rather than allowing someone to do all the talking, allows learners to just read about it. Here one might argue for the interactive component of a classroom learning environment. Not to worry---we'll get to that in a minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, think about your audience when opting for or against online learning. Do your students already have experience with online learning? How can you make the training experience an enjoyable and effective one for your students? In what ways do you expect them to benefit from online training? And finally, how will a learning management system help you realize these objectives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Develop and deliver interactive training courses with Coggno's &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Learning Management System &lt;/a&gt;(LMS) Online.

Specialty universities have already established successful distant learning programs that enable students to earn their degree by attending courses online. Interactive and state of the art videos and modules have been created to deliver the material in numerous different ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A current Internet Marketing Major, Jim Miller, tells us about his experience at Full Sail University, based out of Orlando, while he resides on the West Coast working full time and going to school. “It’s great because class is wherever you are. The convenience and flexibility of when you attend your class enables you to work your education around your career, which helps facilitate both endeavors”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Learning Management system provides a self service platform in which students can receive help in courses or on material they may have difficulties with. A 24/7 mentorship has been provided for students to receive that needed support to aid their comprehension on their assignments. However, with every upside there is usually a downside. Depending on the course or the Professor, requirements such as group projects, may cause difficulties as students struggle trying to set up a collaborative times factoring in different time zones, working schedules and less motivated students who opt to pull any of the weight for the projects. With that said, evaluations are constantly performed to ensure that the set up of the curriculum is effective and successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked to compare the differences between the quality of the Learning Management System in regards to curriculum and teaching of “in classroom” courses in comparison to online courses, Jim Miller states, “The only difference that I have experienced is that you are not physically in the classroom. I feel the quality of the curriculum and the concepts I am being taught are held at the same standard and uphold the same quality at any other University attending an in-person course.”Although other Colleges may not have implemented the all inclusive &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Learning Management System&lt;/a&gt;, signs of online learning components implemented into new curriculum are starting to become increasingly normative.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-2035387469699987741?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/2035387469699987741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-college-course-material-delivered.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/2035387469699987741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/2035387469699987741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-college-course-material-delivered.html' title='New College Course Material Delivered by Learning Management System'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720184643093575996.post-561749315539221502</id><published>2009-10-22T09:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-22T09:31:15.326-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LMS Training Marketplace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Learning management systems'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='design and syndicate courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='content creators'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SilkWeb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='customized training solutions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning authors'/><title type='text'>Make Your Course Connections with Coggno's LMS Training Marketplace</title><content type='html'>Coggno’s &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;LMS&lt;/a&gt; Training Marketplace has just become a more interactive and convenient place to visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who aren't familiar with the idea of a courseware marketplace, Coggno's Training Marketplace is basically a meeting point for creators of learning content and those who wish to acquire it. The Marketplace showcases courses covering a range of training topics, including those created by top e-learning authors like SilkWeb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coggno's LMS allows users to create and deliver customized training solutions. Users can make training their own, with the option to display their logo as well as a unique color scheme.  Course authors are also able to upload and deliver training for in-house purposes or syndicate their learning content for a wider audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since Coggno uses a pay-per-use business model, it is easy to load and reload learning content as required for relevant, up-to-date training. The model allows organizations and individuals to gain the skills and knowledge they desire when they need it, within a period of time that they themselves determine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Coggno's new Training Marketplace up and running, learners and content Authors are able to leverage robust LMS tools combined with a smartly designed meeting place for the transfer of online courses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visiting the site, one first notices that the layout of the Marketplace has been completely redesigned. Does layout matter? you may ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When searching for just about anything worth purchasing, layout can be a deciding factor in whether or not customers can find what they are looking for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, say you’re in the market for a new pair of shoes. A shoe store that offers a wide variety of shoes and a simple way of browsing its selection will be more successful than a store whose shoes are piled on a sales rack, or lacking in sales representatives, or without a very good shoe selection in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the same way, an LMS course provider that lists available learning content in a way that is clear, convenient and easy to browse will be likelier to facilitate connections between courseware Authors and individuals seeking courseware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this goal of making more connections in mind, Coggno has recently announced the launching of its newly redesigned Training Marketplace. Coggno's new Training Marketplace will highlight courses and enhance their presence and optimization on the web, as well as display graphics for each course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design and syndicate robust courses and training with Coggno's &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Learning Management System &lt;/a&gt;(LMS) Online.

Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales strategies, and therefore sales training programs, are undergoing sweeping changes in recent years and even months. New sales strategies are a response to different factors including the economy (tough economy = difficult clients) and the different ways in which customers and potential customers are using the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LMS online tools allow leaders of training programs discuss and demonstrate sales principles in an efficient and simple way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another great benefit of learning management system-delivered training is the interaction that is made possible between learners and the insrtuctor. Learners can contribute to discussions started by workshop leaders, role-playing and receiving coaching on telemarketing processes and skills. Because learners are given the self-paced convenience inherent to online learning, such online interactions are often a effective means of practicing skills than in-person ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harvard Business School professor Mikolai Jan Piskorski has dedicated years to studying online social networks and how people use them. A recent post on the Harvard Business School blog discusses how Piskorski helps organizations develop strategies for leveraging social networks for profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Piskorski, corporate marketers struggle with how to use social networking to reach customers. The main problem is that execs think of online social networks as social media, and treat them as simply another channel to get people to click through to a website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the shift from pitching to engaging a potential customer in a conversation. The ability to listen and respond to a client's needs, ask the right questions, and overcome objections by listening rather than pitching are increasingly taught as effective sales techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversation-building and tapping into online social networks are just two examples of how traditional sales methods are being edged out, as new sales strategies are able to respond to factors such as new forms of media and new economic circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online sales training for an organization's sales professionals and managers can be organized and delivered internationally, linking a company’s LMS to its various human resources departments and ERP systems, to perform multi-locational, cost-effective and efficient training. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A learning management system serves an important role in keeping track of tasks, goals, and learners’ training activities and achievements, in order to ensure that successful sales strategies are executed down the line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create and distribute engaging learning experiences with Coggno's &lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/"&gt;Learning Management System &lt;/a&gt;(LMS) Online.

For example, using Coggno's text tool, video tool, SCORM publisher, template tool, audio tool and assessment tools, educators are able to easily and quickly create dynamic e-learning material either for in-class use or for publishing on Coggno's e-learning marketplace. And choosing from Coggno's apps such as BB FlashBack, Rapid Unison, and the Apple Podcast Producer, educators can engage their audience in active, visually- and audibly-interesting learning content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Podcasts are one exciting medium, offering a host of pedagogical possibilities. Podcasts are convenient and optimally portable, and appeal to many different kinds of learning styles. They can be used to both supplement and reinforce course learning material, or renew learning activities. They can also serve as announcements, reminders, and updates to be heard by everyone using the learning management system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, many educators and trainers find that responding to learners' unique cultural backgrounds, interests, and world knowledge results in a more interactive and dynamic learning experience. A learning management system can be an invaluable tool not only for tracking learners' progress, but in providing an organizational and educational tool that caters to the needs of all learners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On app, BB FlashBack, allows you to record everything you see on your PC screen, whether it be a video, game, web page, or simulation. It also records your commentary, PC sounds and webcam as picture-in-picture video to give your course content a personal touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not make a personal appearance in your own course?

According to the survey, Coggno's LMS was reported to be very user-friendly and straightforward. Respondents noted fast uploading from spreadsheets, as well as fast reaction times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dynamic and simple course creation tools such as text and video, quiz, question bank, text and video tools, template, assessment, and SCORM publishing tools are some features that Coggno offers to make course creation simple, efficient, and even pleasurable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easy customization was also cited as one of Coggno's perks. Using Coggno's pay per use LMS, you can make training your own, with the option to brand your content with your own logo and color scheme.

There's a photo in the center of hands of placed one over the other, suggesting that cooperation and team spirit yield success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of us with a dryer sense of humor have also appreciated another poster, with the same image and "TEAMWORK" at the top. Below the image reads the slogan: "None of us is as dumb as all of us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which slogan is more accurate, humor aside? Are teams a worthwhile venture in a training program--or in any educational context, for that matter?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies have shown that when a strong and clear structure exists, team learning systems can be highly efficient and successful. When lead by an experienced trainer or organized by an LMS online system, the benefits of creating teams for training purposes outweigh the few hazards of teamwork. But teams do need to be coordinated correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone is born with different talents, and throughout our lives, we each cultivate different sets of skills. We all have something unique to offer. Experienced teachers have always understood this, which is why group projects continue to be assigned to students--even in this individualistic day and age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, despite the fact that "teamwork" is a sort of buzzword in the corporate world, businesses often make only put forth a superficial effort to create a functional and trusting team environment. Many managers continue to nurture competitive work environments, convinced that the strongest employees will rise to the surface.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This becomes a major obstacle to corporate team-building efforts--managers themselves often possess weak teamwork skills or don't really believe in teamwork, and so imparting and fostering these skills in others becomes difficult and unrealistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when teams are organized and guided with good faith, a successful team learning experience creates a happy, productive staff. But when teams are handled poorly--tasks are unclear, competition exists, etc.--the opposite scenario becomes true: a tense, unhappy, and unproductive staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/lms3/"&gt;Create and distribute engaging learning experiences with Coggno's Learning Management System (LMS) Online.

Because Coggno's LMS runs on a pay per use model, course creators pay nothing to design training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information about Learning Management Systems (LMS) for eLearning or online training, call or mail Coggno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coggno, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;1290 Parkmoor Avenue&lt;br /&gt;San Jose, California 95125&lt;br /&gt;USA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 888-585-9978&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coggno.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.coggno.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;email: &lt;a href="mailto:support@coggno.com" target="_blank"&gt;mailto:support@coggno.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6720184643093575996-461391586005977543?l=coggnolms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/feeds/461391586005977543/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2009/06/leaning-management-system-lms-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/461391586005977543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720184643093575996/posts/default/461391586005977543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coggnolms.blogspot.com/2009/06/leaning-management-system-lms-with.html' title='Learning Management System (LMS) with Coggno'/><author><name>coggnolms</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00504490236943672505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
