- Lower training costs
- Centralized location of training materials for quick access
- The ability to enhance training programs based on learner feedback and tracking features
- Unlimited data storage, courses and administrators
Features
Each client gets a single customizable learning portal. However, for clients that have different company brands (e.g., publishing), Abara offers multiple portals as an option. The vendor can set up a custom URL for the portal and embed a Google Analytics tracking code. Abara LMS supports an unlimited number of administrators, courses and content storage as well as online, classroom and blended learning.
Abara LMS also includes these key features:
Course management and distribution – Administrators can easily create SCORM-compliant courses that add content from PDF, images, PowerPoint slides and YouTube videos. They can also put together a centralized knowledge repository that learners can access regardless of whether they’re taking a specific course. Administrators can set up automation workflows by using Auto-Assignment rules for courses based on roles, departments etc.
Abara LMS includes a range of assessment questions, from multiple choice to short answer questions. Administrators can also create surveys using single choice, multiple choice or open-ended questions.
In addition, administrators can create customizable learning paths and assign courses to specific employees. Employees can also enroll in a course through the platform or by email.
Learner engagement – Each learner is assigned a dashboard for at-a-glance access to their courses. Here, they can track their course progress as well as any badges and points earned. Learners can also receive announcements, course calendars and automatic course reminders. There is a leaderboard feature that rates the top points-earning learners.
Reporting and analytics – Abara LMS includes reporting and analytics tools on various metrics, such as courses, learner performance, assessments and surveys. Reports can be customized and scheduled.
Mobile app – Accessible only for learners, the Abara LMS mobile app includes offline learning as well as push notifications for messages and announcements. Learners can fully access all features in the mobile app as they would in a web browser.
Social learning – Abara LMS’s social learning features enable learners to collaborate with trainers and peers. They can participate in discussion forums, as well as the one-on-one Ask the Experts.
