For organizations seeking business development training, not just any LMS 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Factor Wisely when Opting for Learning Management System Training
One advantage of choosing to deliver training online via a learning management system or LCMS is the cost benefit.
Savings from online learning will come from many sources, including the relatively low cost of materials, travel, seat time, and administrative costs. 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.
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.
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.
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?

Share Your Expertise with Learning Management System E-Learning Creation
One great way for educators to leverage their knowledge and expertise on a subject is by creating short lessons or courses for distribution via a learning management system such as Coggno.
Coggno's intuitive UI (user interface) and simple-to-use tools provide easy course creation for all educators, with no need for IT help.
We have to look at the tools that are available now on LMSs for educators and trainers. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Why not make a personal appearance in your own course? Provide demos, training CDs, and visual tutorials to students. With BB FlashBack’s user-friendly design and quick, automated recording steps, users are able to transform course content into a richer, more dynamic experience and give your course a more professional touch.
