Updated modules for Cobent's Learning Compliance Suite
Cobent, a leading provider of solutions for e-learning, training and
compliance-led process management across the entire range of
international blue-chip companies, fast-growth start-ups, and public
sector organisations, has updated two of the modules in its Learning
Compliance Suite (LCS), which is designed to make enterprise wide
learning easier to manage and control.
These two modules cover on-the-job training (OJT) and e-commerce.
"Even in these technology-laden times, a recent survey by the CIPD
showed that some 50 per cent of all training is delivered on-the-job,"
commented Cobent's CEO, Howard Sears. "The updated Cobent OJT module
allows the ongoing, automated capture and management of employee
competence.
"As training activities and exercises are assessed, details can be
added directly to a users training record. Audit trails and multiple
signatures ensure the security of the process.
"Our OJT module allows users to manage any process-related or
evidence-based training through the system and access related documents
- making it ideal for procedural training. Moreover, the module is now
fully integrated with our class leading electronic signature
capability, allowing the training, documentation and signatures to be
reported on at any time," he said.
Cobent's LCS not only provides a full service internal training
solution for organisations, it can also be used – via its e-commerce
module - as a complete public facing solution for training providers
who wish to provide an online sales channel for training content and
activities. This enhanced module includes a full online store and
e-commerce suite, to enable customers to provide credit card or account
based access to training materials and related products and services.
Among the features of the updated e-commerce module is the ability to:
-
Sell value-adding items to
increase revenues and enhance customer training support.
-
Track internal costs, royalty
revenues and full transaction cost values.
-
Provide high- and low-level
reporting across all sales activities.
-
Provide flexible discounting
mechanisms across all sales or to support targeted marketing
activities.
Cobent's LCS is a browser-based
application that provides fully functional learning, content and
training management, offering organisations the necessary tools to
create, distribute and track training activities online and offline,
quickly and cost-effectively. LCS consists of advanced tools that have
been built in line with global compliance standards and in consultation
with training managers, compliance managers and other business
professionals who deliver and manage training daily.
Sears added: "Cobent's LCS is a powerful set of modules delivered
through one unified interface to give users the tools they need to
manage their learning strategy throughout the organisation. Cobent LCS
allows users to get started with e-learning quickly and easily with its
intuitive content authoring tool; provides tools to create and deploy
online assessments against any criteria, and creates blended learning
programmes using its e-learning creation tool in conjunction with
classroom management and peer-based training management tools.
"In addition, the LCS is backed by over ten years experience in
understanding compliance requirements and it is the ideal solution for
developing and deploying training in regulated industries."
