How Important is LMS Reporting for Your Organization

A learning management system (LMS) allows an organization to offer uninterrupted continuing education to the workforce. The learners (employees, external and internal stakeholders) can access the LMS content irrespective of the place, time, and device they are using. But does that mean, the LMS content achieves the desired goal? Does the target audience is able to leverage the benefits out of the LMS offerings? Well, without reporting it would be difficult to assess the effectiveness of any learning deliveries across an organization. So, today we will walk you through how reporting transforms your organization’s LMS experience. Stay tuned!

What is LMS Reporting?

LMS reporting gathers learning management data across the organization and organizes it in an analytics-appropriate manner. Using this reporting data, meaningful future outcomes are predicted, and strategies are devised by eliminating issues to enhance the learning experience. These reports clearly define LMS content and courses performance, learners’ engagement with the courses, course access frequency, and learners’ progress metrics.

What reporting can do for you?

• Tracking Progress: Employee progress tracking is essential for organizations to       understand how employees are moving through the LMS offerings.
• LMS Content Performance: Is your content compliant with content sharing standards       like SCORM, AICC, and xAPI? It makes the content shareable and enables performance       tracking for the content and learners. This helps organizations improve the content for       the future by using reports generating analytics.
• Learning and Training Outcomes: Gauge the employees learning outcomes through       their professional development and role-based activities. Have they improved their       performance, became more productive, getting more engaged with the LMS, etc.
• Easing HR Management:
      Updating employees’ learning information in the organization database is crucial to let       stakeholders know how the training has influenced their performance. As the LMS       auto-updates employee activities and progress, the HR team doesn’t need to stress       about it. Moreover, training assignment is also automated with AI, based on the       learners’ job role, learning history, learning interest, and past certifications.

What can Reports Offer?

• Custom reports offer only desired information about the learning data. They can be       filtered with conditions and are downloadable.
• Infographics on reporting data show course progress, completion, the number of       courses, users, etc. in a training. It also shows user interaction and expenses done for       the course management.
• These reports can be scheduled and emailed to the management or department heads       who want to know their teams’ performance.
• These reports capture activity logs about the learning activities of learners including       their strengths and weaknesses.
• You can get the employees’ training matrix – including their course enrolments, when       they have enrolled and how far they went and did they successfully complete the       course or not.
• How interactive the learning courses were and how did learners received the course,       time spent on learning, etc., can also be determined through the reports.
