See how GoSkills combines the power of LMS and LXP to tackle engagement challenges head-on.
How to leverage a platform that offers the benefits of LMS and LXP
1. Conduct a skills gap assessment before training
Skill gap assessments provide a solid foundation for personalized learning programs. This allows you to develop training aimed at filling these gaps and strengthening your team’s capabilities. Start by pinpointing your employees’ current skills and identifying areas that need development.
GoSkills provides learners with a placement test before starting a course and provides a personalized skills analysis that highlights learners’ strengths and growth areas. This targeted insight motivates learners to address skill gaps. By comparing rankings and final test results, learners can see their progress and administrators can gain valuable insight into the impact of their courses.
2. Create targeted assignments and learning paths
Once you have a clear skills analysis, you can use GoSkills’ assignment and learning path features to seamlessly address areas that need attention. Creating specific and focused tasks not only makes the learning experience more relevant, but also ensures that all the time spent training is effective and directly beneficial to improving job performance. That’s guaranteed.
You can also set due dates for courses, which helps create a more structured and organized learning experience. Teams features allow administrators to create specific groups within their organization, making it easier to provide customized learning experiences to different teams and departments.
3. Monitor your progress and adapt your learning path
Personalized learning is a dynamic journey. By regularly monitoring each learner’s progress, you can use data to adapt learning paths in real time. This approach keeps training aligned with the pace and evolving needs of individual learners, maximizing engagement and learning outcomes.
GoSkills offers robust reporting capabilities that provide insight at every level, from the impact of individual lessons to the overall effectiveness of the course, and from the progress of a single learner to the performance of an entire team.
GoSkills Course Builder also lets you add a course review form to get qualitative feedback to help you continually improve your course.
4. Adopt adaptive learning technology
Leverage cutting-edge adaptive learning technology powered by AI and machine learning. We have introduced a course recommender. It is an AI-powered tool that provides personalized course suggestions tailored to a learner’s specified goals and activities. Learners can also receive customized learning material recommendations directly on their dashboard.
5. Promote learner autonomy
Empower learners by involving them in their own learning process. Allowing them to choose when, at what pace, and even the type of content they access fosters ownership and motivation for learning. This autonomy not only increases engagement in learning, but also encourages learners to take responsibility for their own development, leading to increased satisfaction and higher course completion rates.
Measuring GoSkills LMS/LXP engagement
Robust analysis is essential to evaluating the effectiveness of learning programs. Here’s how to track and measure employee engagement.
1. Course completion rate
Track the percentage of employees who complete their assigned courses. A higher completion rate indicates higher engagement, while uncompleted courses may indicate room for improvement.
2. Time spent learning
Monitor the time your employees spend learning using GoSkills analytics. Increased time spent on a course often correlates with increased engagement.
3. Quiz and test scores
Assess employee performance with quizzes and assessments within the platform. A high score indicates understanding and application of knowledge, while a low score may indicate a need for further support or content adjustment.
4. Learner feedback
All of our courses include a built-in feedback form to collect direct feedback from employees about their learning experience. By understanding what they find valuable and challenging, you can determine how engaged they are with your content.
5. Participation in independent learning
GoSkills’ LXP feature allows employees to explore courses beyond their assigned courses. Tracking their participation and engagement in self-directed courses reveals their enthusiasm for self-directed learning.
6. Learning path progression
Measure how employees progress through defined learning paths. This shows their commitment to developing and learning new skills.
Promotion and career advancement
Monitor whether employees who engage in GoSkills are progressing within your organization. Increased promotion rates and career advancement can be strong indicators that your commitment to learning is leading to real-world success.
