How e-Learning’s Tracking Ability Can Benefit Your Company

*Convert PPT or PDF documents to e-learning courses for tracking progress*

Companies that already employ some type of e-learning platform for skills-enhancement courses, will know that tracking their employees’ scores is fundamental to determining whether learners sufficiently grasped the material.

Recently, however, more and more companies are also recognizing the benefits of using e-learning to present standardized in-house content such as onboarding documents, SOPs, guidelines, policies, and regulations — content that has traditionally been presented to employees as either a PowerPoint presentation or a digital or printed PDF or Word document. The tracking ability that e-learning can offer for this type of content is of great value, since disseminating information in a static form makes it almost impossible to guarantee that the content was thoroughly read and understood by all employees — even if you employ manual tracking techniques.

The problem with manual tracking

Imagine, for instance, that you’ve just updated your company’s Health and Safety protocol document to be in line with new company regulations. Manual tracking — for example, having employees sign a document to confirm that they have read and understood the relevant PPT, PDF, or Word document — is not only time-consuming, but also difficult to implement when companies employ a hybrid work system or have different offshore offices. It’s crucial that everyone in the company is on the same page when it comes to policies or guidelines such as these, but how can you be sure that employees across offices, departments, or continents, have all engaged with the same standardized material at a satisfactory level?

The advantages of e-learning tracking

The tracking ability of online courses offers the perfect solution to this problem. A Learning Management System (LMS) lets you track employees’ progress and engagement with the e-learning content — in terms of how much time they spent interacting with the content in each section, whether they’ve accessed all the relevant material, and, through quiz or practice questions, assess how well they’ve understood the information provided.

Yet another important benefit to tracking is that it highlights whether the content of an organization’s documentation around procedures, policies, guidelines, or onboarding material is sufficient. By monitoring employees’ interaction with different sections and activities in an e-learning course, LMS tracking can alert companies to areas where information is lacking and can pinpoint the gaps in knowledge where extra training may be required.

Why many organizations have not made the change to e-learning – yet

*Make the switch: Convert from static documentation to e-learning content*

It would seem obvious that documents whose contents need to be understood by staff, for legal compliance or efficient operation, should already be converted to trackable e-learning courses. Why, then, do so many organizations persist in using Word, PPT, and PDF formats to present their valuable content?

Pitfalls to embracing e-learning

Cast your mind to your company’s document repository. Likely you have hundreds, if not thousands, of documents – from SOPs to compliance and regulatory documents, employee agreements, and company policies, not to mention existing training and development material – that have accumulated over the years and that you know would be more practical in the form of e-learning courses that are accessible, engaging, and trackable. At the same time, you shudder at the thought of navigating the e-learning process. After all, the normal custom development cycle for developing e-learning courses can take many months and cost quite a lot. And then there’s the concern that in development, information would not be translated as you wish. These are some of the key reasons e-learning has been largely reserved for a small percentage of the market – mainly, those organizations interested in high-end training in business skills and legal compliance. Until now.
