BizLibrary At A Glance
Product Overview
BizLibrary LMS is an online learning platform that helps companies provide a successful employee learning and development strategy. Its robust collection of microlearning videos includes relevant topics like technology, workplace safety and business skills. Learners can access content wherever they are at their convenience.
The platform is available in three tiers.
Learning portal – The learning portal tier includes many of BizLibrary’s main features, such as a branded portal, personalized user experience, curated learning paths, curriculum builder, playlists, self-registration, administrative course assignments, course recommendation engine, email messaging and gamification.
Content management – This tier includes additional features, such as a quiz and survey builder, custom content management, and the Community Social Learning and Collaboration app. Users can also add custom courses, embedded videos and learning assets into their curriculum.
Learning management – The learning management tier has all the aforementioned features plus more, such as learning initiatives, qualification management and classroom and external training management.
In addition to the LMS software, BizLibrary offers two other solutions:
BizSkills – This platform allows companies to provide personalized upskilling programs to their employees. It comes with a job role library of over 500 prebuilt job roles, a skills library with over 1,500 skills and a content library that carries over 5,000 prebuilt lessons. Administrators can simply create a specific training program by mapping an employee’s job role with their current or new skills and the courses they’ll need to take. Additional features include personalized development plans, a Skills Genie feature for creating custom job roles, job role matching and Skills Interest (providing opportunities for employees to learn new skills outside their job role).
BizAcademy – BizAcademy is a leadership training program that provides both live and on-demand training sessions and lets learners collaborate with subject matter experts and their peers. It has a four-week certificate program that covers remote leadership, executive leadership or inclusive leadership, as well as a 16-week certificate program for both new and current managers. Learners can listen in on presentations by subject matter experts, network with their peers, complete practice materials and receive feedback on coaching sessions.
