To make their work-from- experience less overwhelming, here are a few aptitudes they should master, and these can also be included in remote skills development programs. 1. ### Learning how to learn online Remote employees need to get used to the new learning environment. Therefore, they have to understand why **remote training modules** are important, how those resources will fit into their job roles, and what information can fill personal and professional gaps. 2. ### Using remote learning technologies Whether we’re talking the **Learning Management System** (LMS) they’ve been using for years, or a new **virtual conferencing tool**, they will appreciate having a few tutorials on how to use them. Online interaction gets easy once they get some hands-on experience. 3. ### Best practices for cybersecurity Cyberattacks have increased since the start of the pandemic. In many cases, human error is the culprit. Considering the number of personal devices used for work, everyone must be appropriately trained in **cybersecurity best practices**. 4. ### Managing time efficiently Remote employees need to keep a regular schedule, prioritize and organize tasks, and overcome procrastination. A training module on **time management** is useful in supporting employees who struggle in this area. 5. ### Working on their own To avoid low performance, remote employees need to be **self-motivated and task-oriented**. Another skill worth having is openness to new challenges and opportunities. Be ready to avoid, identify and solve problems that may come up with working from . 6. ### Proper communication Communication and collaboration are **the foundation of effective work**. Therefore, they are vital even when working from . With the help of online tools, such as **video conferencing**, remote workers pick up on visual and non-verbal cues just like before. 7. ### Being empathetic Change is a big stress factor, and people should be given room and liberty to process things their way. Empathy is a valuable skill to have these days, and remote employees should be taught to handle all interactions with **understanding and thoughtfulness**. 8. ### Managing the work environment Having a dedicated workspace and certain time slots that are blocked for work instead of leisure time are a few solutions that work well. **Creating a routine** takes some time, but with a few tweaks remote employees will find the best option for them.

The goal is to determine how successful a learning intervention has been. An evaluation process typically measures positive and tangible results in the workplace—often in the form of behavior change or increased efficiency.  Although this approach isn’t wrong, the best way to improve a learning program is to find out where it could fall short. Predictive learning analytics identify the pain points and gaps by gathering the right data. Moreover, you can use predictive learning analytics to gain valuable insights into “scrap learning,” or the aspects of learning content that people never actually use in the workplace. In other words, predictive learning analytics focuses on individual learners, predicting whether or not those learners actively apply concepts from training initiatives. ## What are the types of learning analytics? Predictive learning analytics is a tool that leverages data to enhance training outcomes. But before diving into the specifics, it’s important to understand a few broader categories. There are four primary types: ### Descriptive Descriptive analytics focuses on a collection and analysis of historical data to identify trends and patterns. For instance, tracking course completion rates and assessment scores falls under descriptive analytics. This type of analysis helps organizations understand past performance and identify areas for improvement. ### Predictive Predictive analytics forecasts future outcomes based on historical data. Statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques are able to predict learner behavior, performance, and engagement. You might leverage this type to predict which employees will excel in specific training modules or identify who might be at-risk. ### Diagnostic Diagnostic analytics looks under the hood—why did something happen? This analysis digs deeper into the data to uncover the root causes of specific outcomes. If a particular training program has low completion rates, diagnostic analytics can help identify underlying issues, such as content complexity or low learner engagement. ### Prescriptive analytics Prescriptive analytics provides actionable recommendations based on other types of insights. Learning and development leaders can then decide on a new and better course of action to achieve desired goals and outcomes.  ## Predictive analytics in an LMS When a learning management system (LMS) is equipped with predictive analytics capabilities, it can completely revolutionize employee training and skills measurement. Such a transformation is the direct result of things like: - **Personalization** – Build personalized learning paths to optimize each employee’s development journey, full of relevant and effective training content. - **Enhanced course design**– Identify which elements need improvement, and enable continuous optimization of training materials for impactful learning. - **Better resource allotment** –  Pinpoint high-impact training modules in order to better allocate training budgets and invest in initiatives that deliver the highest ROI. - **Improved compliance training** – Simplify compliance training by recognizing employees who need refresher courses or additional support in order to stay compliant with industry regulations. - **Data-driven leadership decisions** – Continuously refine training strategies to make sure that they remain aligned with business goals and evolving workforce needs. ## Using predictive learning analytics at your organization Learning specialists constantly search for new tools to boost results related to knowledge retention and skills achievement. Although predictive learning analytics delivers in these areas, success requires thorough planning, ongoing support, and buy-in from leadership. [Business leaders across several industries](https://trainingindustry.com/magazine/jul-aug-lude data mining, predictive modeling, and machine learning.  When used in combination, these tools identify and measure patterns in learning data and theorize learners’ future behaviors—which has direct applications for e-learning. ## Building a predictive learning analytics algorithm Predictive learning analytics work best if you have a specific goal in mind when you build the algorithm. Your [company's LMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/reporting-and-analytics) is already gathering and storing valuable data, making it a great place to start for delivering comprehensive reports. Think predictive learning analytics as a micro-tool, allowing you to glimpse learner behavior in a more granular way. The key is to stay focused and specific. For example, figure out which employees are most likely to apply skills and which ones aren’t. To accomplish this, you’ll need to look at how learning performance correlates to other outcomes. You might use indicators such as quiz scores, participation in group discussions, or completion times. Key takeaway: Predictive learning analytics focus on individuals and small pieces of learning content. It’s not a “one-size-fits-all approach.” Instead, learn as you go, and stay mindful that each situation is different. You may be able to recycle part of an analytics algorithm you already built with some modifications.  ## How predictive learning analytics improves your training programs Here are seven ways to use predictive learning analytics to deliver successful training programs: ### 1. Harnessing the potential of xAPI for actionable insights [xAPI is very popular](https://xapi.com/blog/xapi-adoption-by-our-numbers/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=natural_search) but still has many underutilized functions. This learning technology facilitates communication between various learning tech products. The main advantage is that it helps evaluate learner performance on the job instead of on a test.  xAPI also offers valuable insights into the effectiveness of training programs and can track everything the learner does—from games and mobile apps to tasks that require practical action. Predictive learning analytics algorithms tap into the massive data collected by xAPI. Then, you can establish a more complete picture of the entire learning experience. These analytics can give accurate predictions of future learner and training program performance. Thus, they help L&D specialists tailor learning materials to fit individual needs. ### 2. Improving learning program content Learning success heavily depends on learner engagement. Predictive analytics can offer valuable data trending topics that are most relevant to modern learners. Predictive data can also help learning directors pinpoint the best moments to promote certain courses or introduce new learning outcomes. For example, the times of the year and even exact hours when employees are likely to be interested in training may change due to several factors, including workloads and broader corporate priorities. This information is specific to industries and organizations, and the right predictive algorithms take those factors into account. ### 3. Reducing scrap learning “Scrap learning” is knowledge that’s metaphorically discarded once the course is over. If that knowledge isn't applied on the job, it could be a [missed learning transfer opportunity](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/7-factors-that-boost-the-transfer-of-learning). Scrap learning is a waste of resources, especially when nearly every organization aims to maximize ROI. Research shows that [20 percent of learners use what they learn](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/cut-scrap-predictive-learning-analytics-pla-ken-phillips/). However, 65 percent try to apply it but revert back to their old ways. This amounts to a staggering 80-85 percent scrap learning.  Predictive learning analytics identifies the learners who are most likely to apply the knowledge on the job. It also identifies the obstacles that keep others from doing so. ### 4. Incentivizing the modern learner Today's learners are self-directed and want to control how they spend time and energy. Offering them immediate and direct feedback performance is helpful for motivation.  Predictive learning analytics is useful for identifying actionable metrics to share with learners. Learners can use this data to decide the best path for their own learning and time investment.  Other tools, like [gamification](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification), make the learning process more competitive and entertaining. Learners have a chance to win awards, gain skills badges, and compare their performance to other learners in real-time.  ### 5. Improving course design With predictive learning analytics, L&D specialists know when learners complete a course and what they did while taking it. This information predicts when specific learners might experience difficulty or even drop out of a specific e-learning course. Instructional designers can then find the right solutions to fix training performance issues. They can decide whether the problem is the difficulty level, navigation, or the curriculum itself. Again, the specificity of predictive learning analytics is helpful at eliminating guesswork and making targeted improvements that benefit all learners and participants. ### 6. Achieving “just-in-time” learning interventions Not all learners move simultaneously through e-learning courses. Some learners have pre-existing knowledge that gives them a boost, while others need more time to absorb new concepts. Predictive learning analytics gives L&D specialists the chance to step in and make targeted adjustments. As a result, they can help learners who need it most to prevent disengagement or course abandonment. Instructors can easily monitor learner progress by comparing specific metrics against general course performance. For example, consistent low quiz scores and lack of discussion could equal low engagement. Sequence drop-down exercises are great for verifying learners’ understanding of a sequence of events in a task or process. Arranging the items in the right sequence is necessary for the question to be graded as correct. Identifying individuals that struggle to find the right answers allows L&D specialists to offer assistance or incentives more quickly. ### 7. Making better L&D decisions When the job market is especially volatile, decisions related to employee development are crucial. These choices often extend beyond the L&D department and have implications for bigger organizational projects or incentives.  Having the right skills can make or break an organization. So, stakeholders need all the data (and actionable insights) to make better decisions that help drive the desired learning and development results. ## Bringing it all together In an age of big data and high-performing LMS platforms, leveraging the power of learning information is critical. Predictive learning analytics effectively looks beyond past performance and enables future results, making it a game-changer for corporate L&D.  Start unlocking the full potential of your workforce with CYPHER.

This is especially true for learning loss in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, in more recent discussions, educators have been shifting away from learning loss, with a tendency to look at it differently. Rather than focusing on the negative, think the different learning types that happened as a result. For example, students developed greater skills with technology and educators explored new methods and tools. Now, with the help of what they’ve learned during this time, teachers can confidently navigate the post-pandemic classroom by choosing the best reteaching strategies. ## What is reteaching and how can it help students? While it is not new, the concept of reteaching has become a greater focus for educators. Through assessments, we understand where students are in the learning process and know that we often need to provide review and, at times, even reteach the content. Some of the activities or tools that we can use to review and reteach the content are the same, but the processes of reviewing and reteaching are not exactly the same. [Review](https://www.educationcorner.com/review-reteach-education.html) is usually done before an assessment, perhaps at the start or the end of a class to sum up a lesson that was covered during that time. A review is focused on doing a quick recap of the material taught, whether during the class, as part of an entrance or exit ticket, or throughout the year. With reteaching, teachers typically assess students and notice that there are some [gaps in learning](/blog/k-20/how-to-close-learning-gaps-with-the-help-of-an-intelligent-learning-platform) or misunderstandings with the content. The assessments may reveal that the whole class or individuals need additional review or, in some cases, reteaching. ## How does reteaching work? Therefore, educators need strategies that go beyond a simple review and find ways to present the material again — although not necessarily as an entire lesson and often not to all students in the class. There are a few essential steps: ### Monitoring student progress We want to focus on student learning and motivation, especially as we monitor student progress to ensure they are [mastering the concepts](/blog/k-20/competency-based-education) and acquiring the skills being taught. When we look at assessments and analyze the data, we can identify each individual student's needs and see where they are in the learning process, especially if they struggle with a concept. ### Personalizing learning Providing [personalized instruction](/blog/k-20/intelligent-learning-platform-help-teachers-create-personalized-learning-environment) for students so that they are successful means that we have multiple ways to assess, understand, and then provide exactly what each student needs to be successful as they build their skills and master the content. ### Listening to student feedback Educators need some quick ways to monitor and assess student progress throughout the lesson. It can be something quick like visual cues, a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, a conversation, or using paper or digital tools for an entrance or exit ticket. These options will give teachers a quick glimpse into where students are with understanding the material presented and then help them to decide what the next steps should be. Whether it’s a simple review of a concept or something much larger like reteaching certain components of a whole lesson, assessments and continued monitoring are essential. As we identify what each student might need, we can implement the right strategies or bring in some different tools to help students as they learn and reteach the material. ## 6 Reteaching strategies for the post-pandemic classroom With reteaching, focus on presenting the content differently and leverage tools and new methods to provide more options for students. Make adjustments based on the grade level, the number of students, and the content. ### 1. Peer teaching In my own classroom, to do some review at the start of the year, I had students paired with a classmate and they each chose a topic that they felt confident teaching. Students were paired with classmates who either said they needed some help or had been identified based on assessments. Students came up with their own ways to teach or explain and then reversed roles. During this experience, there were a lot of different topics being shared, and as the teacher, I gained new ideas that I could use in my practice. Students felt more valued and connected to the learning because of those more meaningful and authentic experiences. They also took the lead and shared their knowledge to help others and also had the support that they needed. ### 2. Playlists After reviewing assessments and looking at the data, we can create a playlist for students and break it down based on a specific topic. For example, when teaching science with certain concepts, students may understand some parts but may need additional instruction and support. Gathering some resources, whether it's a video, a [learning path](/blog/k-20/the-role-of-the-lms-in-designing-personalized-learning-paths-for-students), or even flashcards, we can create a playlist for students. Providing a list of activities and resources for students to choose from where we can help them decide where to begin or provide them with an opportunity to self-direct is a good option for fostering social and emotional learning (SEL), in particular, self-awareness and self-management as they evaluate where they are in the learning process, set goals, and also deal with some of the challenges or frustrations that can come from designing their own learning path. ### 3. Learning stations Whether in the physical space or virtually, learning stations are a great option for reteaching and promoting SEL development. With this, the teacher can set up the stations and offer a variety of activities, whether hands-on, using digital tools or through teacher-led instruction. The students can be randomly mixed into small groups or assigned based on the assessment data. Students can also choose their stations, especially as they are developing their self-awareness, identifying their learning needs and reflecting on their growth. Learning stations are also beneficial for collaboration and building relationships through authentic and meaningful learning activities, which will impact student achievement. Use tools like Kahoot!, Quizizz, Gimkit, video lessons and the school’s [learning management system](/academia) (LMS), which can support all of these activities in one place. ### 4. Interactive lessons With the different digital tools available, teachers have many options for creating robust lessons or enrichment materials for students that can be housed within one space and available to students when they need it. Using Google Slides or PowerPoint, for example, is what I use in my classroom to include verb charts, vocabulary, links to games, embed videos, and more so that students can use it as a study resource or select some of the activities to use for additional practice. With other options like Nearpod, for example, we can include a variety of activities and resources for students to work through that may help with reteaching a concept. Also, having students use tools like BookWidgets that offer templates and many ways to interact with the content. ### 5. Hyperdocs Hyperdocs are documents with all hyperlinks included. They help promote more interactive and student-directed and student-paced learning activities. Even if the whole class needs to have some reteaching, this would also be a good option because of its structure. Teachers can think the materials that will be used in the classroom to help students build skills and then create a HyperDoc that includes a hook to get students interested in the lesson, with a video to help them with the instruction, some practice activities, and then a way for students to show that they have now mastered the content. These can be used in the classroom, enabling the teacher to act as a facilitator, move around with the classroom and interact with students, and continue to assess. ### 6. Collaboration There are many different strategies that can be done quickly, whether [small group instruction](https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/opinion-what-are-the-best-strategies-for-small-group-instruction/2021/11), collaborative learning which has been around for a long time, “turn and teach” where students who have shown more mastery in a certain topic can then teach it to one or more classmates, and then have those classmates, in turn, teach it to other classmates. [Peer tutoring](/blog/k-20/3-before-me-a-teaching-method-that-boosts-student-independence-and-raises-team-players) is a great way for students to also build confidence and comfort in the classroom. Providing students with some hands-on materials or graphic organizers to use with classmates are some additional reteaching strategies that also promote collaboration. ## Effective reteaching strategies With reteaching, the idea is not to teach the same lesson twice but to identify what aspects of a specific lesson students may be struggling with and focus on those so that learning does keep going. Even in reteaching, we are still offering opportunities for those students who have mastered the content to apply and amplify their skills by having choices or being involved in the reteaching process.

With the rise of the Internet, we have become more and more present in the online world. This has come with its own sets regulations which we have to abide by. So, existing in this environment, working, learning, doing business, communicating just like we do in real life make us citizens of this digital world. As digital citizens, we have both rights and obligations and that is why learning more the concept of digital citizenship is crucial. Digital citizenship is the continuously developing norms of appropriate, responsible, and empowered technology use. ([Source](https://educatorpages.com/site/ed505project2019/pages/digital-citizenship)) Thus, we need to contribute to the online world with appropriate content that can create positive experiences for others and acknowledge the fact that our actions as digital citizens have consequences. As far as any online environment is concerned, it should be a safe one in which everyone feels protected and not vulnerable. Moreover, it should promote a better understanding of all its implications and contribute to the process of educating users for long term positive outcomes. In addition, as digital citizens we have to create cooperative and interdependent relationships promoting understanding of one another. In their book, [Digital Citizenship in Schools](https://books.google.ro/books//Digital_Citizenship_in_Schools.html?id=YwQmAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y), Mike Ribble and Gerald Bailey talk how technology influences the way people interact and the concept of digital citizenship in the classroom. The authors define nine elements of digital citizenship. ## The 9 elements of Digital Citizenship Since education is at the heart of any society, students are the ones that should be educated in using technology in a responsible manner, ensuring the safety of the online environment for generations to come. Consequently, the aspects of digital citizenship revolve around their usage of technology for educational purposes. Some of these elements are related to students’ lives outside the walls of school, while others are directly related to how they use technology in school. 1. ### Digital access Although we live in a digital era, not everyone has access to technology. As teachers, we should be aware of the needs students have and try to ensure they can equally make use of online resources. Due to improvements in schools worldwide, teachers can provide engaging lessons and motivate their students by including technology in class. More and more educators require from their students assignments which should be done online, but there is a downside to it: not all students can afford a computer/smartphone and access to the Internet. That is why educators need to provide alternatives suitable for every student's needs.

Technology is also used in class to showcase students the possible paths to take in their prospect careers opening their way to a future job. Understanding [how e-commerce works](https://www.x-cart.com/ecommerce-101.html) is a must, both as possible customers and as potential entrepreneurs. 3. ### Digital communication Communicating online has become so common and so frequent that students forget they are doing so in a virtual space. The need to know how and what to say is undeniable since miscommunication happens all the time even online. Nowadays though, the online has given a voice to anyone who needed it. They can express themselves freely and be themselves. This in turn requires a person to be empathetic and react appropriately online and offline. Read more: [Teaching empathy for better learning outcomes](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/teaching-empathy-for-better-learning-outcomes/) 4. ### Digital literacy Education is the key to everything. Being aware of others while online or offline is important for our personal growth contributing also to spreading awareness of the way we treat each other in either space. Digital literacy also includes reaching the ability to differentiate between real and fake content which otherwise can have great negative impact over the lives of students and adults altogether. Students need to learn how to use their free will and decide what content is good for them and what they should avoid in order to lead a balanced life. 5. ### Digital etiquette Technology comes with basic instructions of usage, but in the long run we should educate students to understand it better and become “digitally fluent”. This will shape their online behavior and they will respond positively rather than negatively to any content or comment. In this way, the online attitude is transposed into the real world and vice versa. Focusing on implementing an online etiquette will have great results for the future generations who will have the adequate attitude in the online world that avoids conflict rather than entice it hidden behind their virtual profiles. 6. ### Digital law The online environment has room for both positive and negative interactions. And just like in real life, there are laws everyone should abide by. Digital law deals with the legal rights and restrictions governing technology use. Many online users are actually breaking the law, either knowing or not knowing, from identity theft to hacking into someone else's email to cyberbullying to downloading ed music to using. To prevent any kind of online crime, no matter how serious, students as digital citizens need to know the law. 7. ### Digital rights and responsibilities Like in any real society, the online world has its regulations. That means that as a user one has rights, but also responsibilities. There are rules and policies to follow that imply the possibility of being held accountable for your actions and deeds in the online world. The Internet can also be used for harming purposes and anyone using it needs protection structures against [cyberbullying](https://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it), for instance. Schools should approach this subject in class making the students take responsibility for their actions and also recognize and report any misconduct in the virtual environment. 8. ### Digital health and wellness We live equally as much in the online world as in the real one, so the requirements and freedoms of the individual in real life have to be extended to the digital world. Everyone present in the online world has to contribute to the well-being of a person online helping others in need. Students should be taught to protect themselves and others from possible harm and alert an adult if it's the case. Making use of online resources is a plus, but one should be aware of the dangers that reside with this benefit. Read more: [4 Steps towards digital wellness for students](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/4-steps-towards-digital-wellness-for-students/) 9. ### Digital security Security in the online world is important since viruses and worms can go from system to system and affect the electronic devices we use. Precautions need to be taken to guarantee their safety. Moreover, when using devices in school or at , students have to understand the implications of it and be aware of possible attacks. Teachers should also explain how to prevent them from happening and how to protect their devices. This is a necessary skill in today's digital world. ## All in all Digital Citizenship is the status that all online users should own including students. With this citizenship comes freedoms and responsibilities which should be understood in their entirety. Similar to the real world citizens, online users have to follow the rules and try to make use of all its benefits safely. As digital citizens, students need to be aware of their behavior and how it may affect others, but also they should show empathy towards others avoiding conflict and calling out the ones that don't.

At CYPHER Learning, we believe this mantra should extend beyond those enrolled in apprenticeship programmes to encompass every employee within an organization. In building this mantra into organizational culture and continuing to upskill and invest in your employees, you create a [culture of continuous learning](/blog/news/20-ways-managers-can-create-a-culture-of-continuous-learning). This orientation better prepares workers for future innovations and job force changes, increases their job satisfaction, and so much more. ## The crucial role of skills development Apprenticeships serve as a crucial stepping stone for individuals, enabling them to learn diverse skills applicable for their future careers and life. They help individuals learn practical skills from professionals sometimes decades into their field in both an efficient and cost-effective manner. They’re also an opportunity for an employer to train employees from the ground up around their specific best practices – if done correctly. [Tracking all of the required information](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) and ensuring apprentices know all of the required skills can be a difficult task, but it is necessary for the success of both the company and apprentice. The key to effective skills development is [ensuring it directly aligns](/tour/competency-based-learning) with the essential abilities and competencies needed for a particular role. This requires a thorough and [personalized approach](/solutions/skills-development) to professional growth. However, the journey towards embedding this comprehensive approach to skills development is often met with obstacles. Traditionally, both new recruits and seasoned employees have encountered training that scarcely goes beyond outdated methods, such as PowerPoint presentations, which hardly meet the individualized learning and development needs. ## Navigating the era of workforce turbulence The World Economic Forum (WEF) has forecasted that we are entering "[a new era of turbulence](/resources/research/business/generative-ai-in-luding artificial intelligence (AI), underscoring the critical need for a workforce that is versatile and multi-skilled. The forecasted era of turbulence calls for a shift in how we approach apprenticeships and career development in general. The ability to swiftly adapt to changing skill demands, coupled with a commitment to lifelong learning, becomes paramount in preparing the workforce for the challenges inherent in the evolving technological landscape. As industries undergo transformation, those equipped with a diverse skill set and a proactive attitude toward learning will be better positioned to thrive in this era of change. ## Investing in apprenticeship development As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week and acknowledge the invaluable contributions of apprenticeships to business growth, it's equally important to ensure that businesses reciprocate by [investing in the development of their apprentices](/solutions/career-development). This mutual investment not only nurtures a skilled and adaptable workforce but also positions businesses for long-term success in an ever-changing global economy. At CYPHER Learning, we advocate for a future where every organization adopts a "Skills for Life" approach, recognizing the transformative impact of apprenticeships not just as a means for workforce development, but as a catalyst for fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation. Let's seize this National Apprenticeship Week as an opportunity to commit to enriching the professional journeys of apprentices and employees alike, ensuring they are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern work environment.

What we do is train teachers on how to manage behavior better in their schools and we work largely in the UK, but we wanted our training to be available to everyone. We wanted to offer online courses to schools that couldn't afford to get one of our trainers on site and/or individual teachers who needed the extra support. Specifically we needed a platform that would be highly responsive to our needs and inquiries, and since we've been with CYPHER Learning this has never been an issue. We wanted our courses to be self-paced, we wanted to have a high level of control over how they looked and the different types of tasks that we could ask users to engage in. We also wanted to be able to add video content, audio content and text and to do it easily, and we wanted to have our own branding. ## The solution We had a detailed list of requirements that we wanted from an LMS, we researched different platforms, did some extensive searches and did a major comparison between providers and decided that CYPHER was the best option for us. ## The results - Adoption of CYPHER Learning Management System (LMS) to establish a robust online course platform accessible globally - Utilization of CYPHER's customizable features to create self-paced courses with diverse multimedia content tailored to specific learning needs People enjoy that it's fairly easy to navigate around, intuitive and straight-forward. We also like having video integrated in courses and the fact that people are able to see their progress. One other thing that has been really useful for us is that we charge people for six months and after that we deactivate them and they receive a notice from the platform. Often people call us and want to extend which is very easy to do because all their information, such as courses and assignments they submitted are still stored, so when they ask to be reactivated again, they don't lose anything. We managed to attract people from all around the world that are able to access the same sort of training even if they're nowhere near our trainers. Schools especially, for which it's very expensive to have live training. This provides them with a different way of accessing our content. “Online courses are now a major part of our current business development plan. They used to be somewhere in the background, but now we're working out ways in which we can increase the percentage of revenue that we make through online courses.” Pivotal Education ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

As a technology visionary, Gates offered his thoughts on how AI could reshape education—both its opportunities and challenges. At CYPHER Learning, we resonate deeply with these perspectives and are dedicated to fostering a future where AI enhances, rather than diminishes, the learning experience. In this blog, we’ll explore key takeaways from Gates' interview and explain how CYPHER Learning is positioned to address the challenges and opportunities AI presents in education. You can also hear directly from our President, John Kannapell in this video, as he reflects on Gates’ points and shares our vision for AI’s role in the classroom. ## The potential of AI in education On *Oprah Winfrey Presents*, Bill Gates emphasized that AI has the power to revolutionize the classroom by helping educators personalize learning. Rather than adhering to a traditional, one-size-fits-all teaching model, AI can tailor lessons to meet each student’s needs, allowing for a more engaging and customized experience. Gates also referenced AI's ability to assist students in learning at their own pace, providing suggestions for improvement, and automating routine tasks for teachers - freeing them to focus on higher-level teaching skills and student support.At CYPHER Learning, we are harnessing AI to create more dynamic, personalized learning experiences. Our AI-powered tools help educators design courses that adapt to each learner’s progress and challenges, fostering an environment that encourages deeper thinking and individual growth. ## How to avoid the AI reliance trap While Gates expressed optimism AI’s potential, he also issued a cautionary note: if AI is used improperly, it could lead to student disengagement and laziness. With tools like ChatGPT providing quick answers, students might be tempted to rely solely on AI for shortcuts, rather than truly engaging with the curriculum or learning material. At CYPHER Learning, we share this concern, which is why we’ve built our platform to go beyond surface-level engagement. Rather than allowing AI to become a crutch, we encourage educators to design tasks that require critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. By assigning more complex, multi-step projects, teachers can ensure that students don’t use AI simply to find answers but to engage thoughtfully with the material, analyze information, and draw their own conclusions. When students learn to use AI as a tool to enhance their problem-solving abilities, they are preparing themselves for a future in which AI plays an integral role in the workforce. ## Fostering ethical AI use in the classroom One of the most important points Bill Gates raised during his interview was the ethical considerations surrounding AI, particularly when it comes to bias. AI systems learn from the data they are provided, and sometimes, that data reflects the biases present in our society. Educators have a critical role to play in teaching students how to use AI responsibly, to evaluate the information it generates, and to think critically its accuracy and fairness. At CYPHER Learning, we are focused on promoting ethical AI use in education. Our platform is designed to help educators create lessons that not only engage students but also encourage them to think critically the tools they use. By fostering AI literacy and awareness, we aim to help students navigate the complex ethical implications of AI, ensuring that they use technology responsibly and thoughtfully. ## Preparing students for an AI-driven future AI is here to stay, and it will only become more integrated into our daily lives, including the world of education. Gates made it clear that the future of learning will depend on how thoughtfully we integrate AI into our classrooms. At CYPHER Learning, we believe that AI can be a force for good, helping to empower students with the critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive in an AI-driven world. By using AI to handle routine tasks, teachers can focus on inspiring students to think critically, collaborate, and innovate. At CYPHER, we provide the tools and resources to help educators create these kinds of high-level learning experiences. ## Watch the full video To hear more how CYPHER Learning is responding to the challenges and opportunities Bill Gates discussed, check out this video where John Kannapell, President and COO at CYPHER Learning, reflects and outlines how we are helping educators and students harness AI in meaningful, responsible ways. ## What’s next? As Bill Gates said, AI has the power to transform education, but only if we use it wisely. At CYPHER Learning, we're dedicated to ensuring that AI enhances learning rather than diminishes it. By providing educators with the tools to create thoughtful, engaging, and ethically responsible lessons, we are helping to shape the future of education—one that prepares students to thrive in an AI-driven world. Let’s make AI a force for good in education.

They offer innovative undergraduate and secondary education programs focused on computing, business, liberal arts and design. Their programs are designed to bridge the gap between academic institutions and the actual needs of the industry. iACADEMY has ten Senior High School programs that prepare students for the professional world. Read this case study to learn how iACADEMY uses CYPHER to provide next-level education to its students. “We were looking for a solution that would help deliver all these materials in an efficient manner.” Peter Hans Z.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Streamlining delivery of diverse educational materials - Ensuring effective organization of student work - Facilitating streamlined communication and engagement opportunities between teachers and students Since 2020, iACADEMY has partnered with various institutions such as Alibaba Business School for their Global Digital Talent Network. College professors and Senior High School students underwent extensive training in order to strengthen e-commerce in the Philippines by integrating it into the current curriculum. iACADEMY also offered GOAL (Guided Online Autonomous Learning), and DRIVE (Design for Remote Individualized Versatile Education). They catered to the current needs of the Senior High School students during the pandemic. We were looking for a solution that would help deliver all these materials in an efficient manner. ## The solution I have been using CYPHER for two years now. In terms of the number of users, we have an average of 500, composed of teachers and students. A major improvement that I have noticed since using CYPHER is that students and teachers have streamlined communication opportunities. ### Features - **Customization:**I believe that the best CYPHER feature is its ability to be customized. Everything from assignments, lessons, classes, and many more can be customized based on the instructor’s liking. Thanks to this we can cater to different types of learners - Gino Miguel M. Fernandez, SHS Faculty. - **Automation and tracking:**For me, three of the most valuable CYPHER features are the teacher view, where you can automate the lessons for all sections, the library, where you can always check the previously made content, and the student progress. All are helpful and efficient, especially for online learning - Peter Hans Z. Tejada, SHS Faculty. ### User experience "As someone who is fairly new to CYPHER, I can say that getting used to it was not difficult at all. The interface and the process of adding classes and lessons were straightforward. If you can’t figure out what you need to do, CYPHER has a Help center which is also incredibly useful. You just need to search for what you need to know and the Help center will provide clear and detailed instructions on how to do it" said Gino Miguel M. Fernandez, SHS Faculty. “CYPHER has been a very big help in terms of submitting research papers. It’s very useful to have all the students’ papers organized in one place rather than having them submitted through a Drive folder where everything is scattered. With CYPHER, everything is well organized in one place and we can easily check student work.” Gino Miguel M. Fernandez, SHS Faculty ## The results - Implementation of CYPHER led to increased motivation and engagement among students, driven by features like reminders and gamification, ultimately improving performance and progress tracking - CYPHER streamlined communication and enhanced efficiency for both students and teachers - CYPHER's customizable features allowed for tailored instruction and content delivery, catering to diverse learner needs and preferences "Online learning can be easily accessed and it is convenient. I have used an LMS before as a student, but I was not able to utilize it to its full potential. I could not imagine doing this online setup without a proper LMS. The workload is more manageable thanks to this platform" said Gino Miguel M. Fernandez, SHS Faculty. Peter Hans Z. Tejada, SHS Faculty said "One of the benefits of online learning I like the most is that students are more productive at since instruction is more straightforward and they can study at their own pace. We can have short sessions, then I can focus on my students’ needs and prepare for the next class." “In terms of student performance and progress, my students are motivated to finish assignments thanks to the CYPHER reminders. The platform’s gamification features also make them more engaged in their learning.” Peter Hans Z. Tejada, SHS Faculty ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice? We'd love to hear from you.

Most trainers use PowerPoint presentations and PDF files on a daily basis, they are even experts at designing good presentations and they might feel that there is no need to change anything. After all, if it’s not broken why fix it? Well, as times are changing, you might want to tweak your training materials a little bit. Don’t feel that you shouldn’t invest more in presentations if you have great content. Do that effort, go the extra mile, and you will see better results! Granted, high-quality content is a must in any successful training program, but keep in mind that the means you use to deliver that content are equally important. Moreover, when it comes to adult learners, time is a precious resource, so try to present your content in an effective manner if you want to maximize results. Your learners don’t have time to read hundreds of pages, so instead of sending a detailed PDF file, try to summarize the information, add illustrative infographics or other visual tools and help them absorb as much information as possible in the time they have. ## 5 great online tools for great training materials Let's see a few online tools that will help you design the best training materials and boost learning outcomes! 1. ### iLovePDF Ok, PDF files are so yesterday, but they are still a staple for many trainers and learners out there. If you need a free tool to merge, split, extract pages, this site will do the trick. It is also good for most of the conversions a trainer might need (PDF from and to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG). Last but not least, if you want to add a watermark to your PDF files, for instance, the company logo, you can do it in seconds. 2. ### Remove Background This tool, as its name suggests, removes the background from images. It works 100 percent automatically, you don’t need to select the background — and the results are very good. If you want to add to your training materials only an element from a picture (a person, a piece of equipment, a fire extinguisher, etc.), now you can do it without having to master any complicated photo editing software. 3. ### MapInSeconds Remember what we said busy learners? An image (or an infographic) is worth a thousand words. Instead of going through an Excel file with data various countries of the world, you can create a visual representation of that data on a world map. With this app, simply upload the information in an Excel file (countries on the first column, the respective data on the second), and you have the visualizer in a few seconds. It’s great for presentations and reports. 4. ### Pixton For all the learners and their inner child, this app will help you create cool comics that look really professional. The free version has quite a few options (characters, backgrounds, actions, effects, etc.) and it will help you create great visual stories for your classes. You can choose from a wide range of characters, from the Average Joe or Average Jane to famous superheroes. Use your imagination and create content “with a twist”. 5. ### Canva Granted, Canva is good for most of your designs, but we think it’s absolutely great for infographics. There are many templates that you can choose from if you want to better integrate visual elements in your training materials. You can also create teams and work with your colleagues, so give it a try whenever you get the chance. ## Closing thoughts Remember, image is not everything, but it is something a trainer should not disregard. Make your materials more engaging and more interesting but adding visual elements. You don’t need to hire the best illustrators on the market; just start with baby steps and use tools available on the internet. Ask feedback from your learners to see if you are going in the right direction, and keep on improving your materials.

"I've had some experience with teaching online for a period of time, so I knew what it was like to transition from a hands-on teacher to an online teacher. I knew this was something I wanted to incorporate in my business as well. Our students' lives demanded flexibility and alternatives to traditional learning, and I was eager to set the stage for our industry. My main competitor offered "correspondence type" courses with only an online test, so I knew we could do better. I wanted interaction with my students and that's when we decided to get an LMS. Our main problem was finding an LMS that we could afford. Starting out small in itself was a challenge, but being able to offer training that was cost effective for us and affordable for students was our greatest challenge. We also wanted to be able to personalize the LMS to our needs. We were looking for an LMS with a variety of learning experiences, that made it easy to copy and reuse classes, that had automated course offerings, interactive learning, and of course an LMS that offered the possibility of making profit from courses." ## The results “We have really grown, going from 20 students to more than 300 students and I see us growing even more. Our instructors enjoy the easy management of grades, the ability to copy course content, and the mobile grading. The learners like the forums, discussions, and debates features. There are still a lot of features that we haven't explored yet, but we would like to learn more .” Janice Jobey, Specialist ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Uno de los aspectos más populares es la creación de cursos atractivos que incluyen gamificación, una variedad de evaluaciones, mapeo de competencias para respaldar el desarrollo de habilidades y la capacidad de crear cursos utilizando AI 360 con CYPHER Copilot en minutos. ## ¿Qué pasa si quieres llevar los excelentes cursos creados en CYPHER y usarlos en otra plataforma? Puedes hacerlo con Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI). LTI es un estándar que permite a los proveedores de LTI conectarse a un LMS (Sistema de Gestión del Aprendizaje). La integración de LTI permite un lanzamiento seguro desde el entorno de aprendizaje, lo cual maneja la integración de la interfaz de usuario, el inicio de sesión único en la aplicación de aprendizaje y el envío de información de contexto importante como el curso, el usuario y los resultados. ## Cómo funciona LTI LTI es un estándar desarrollado por el consorcio 1EdTech, que permite el lanzamiento de material didáctico y herramientas de aprendizaje de diferentes proveedores dentro de una plataforma de aprendizaje. LTI es un estándar técnico (no un producto) para integrar herramientas de aprendizaje dentro del entorno de aprendizaje de una organización. Los cursos creados en la plataforma CYPHER se pueden distribuir en cualquier LMS utilizando el estándar LTI. Una de las cosas que es única entre los LMSs más comunes es que CYPHER no solo es un consumidor de LTI (lo que significa que las herramientas LTI se pueden integrar en CYPHER), sino que también es un proveedor de LTI, lo que significa que los cursos creados en la plataforma CYPHER se pueden distribuir a cualquier otro proveedor de LMS que utilice LTI. Esto facilita la centralización, distribución y escalabilidad de tu contenido.

While most students have returned to in-person learning, many [have remained in the online classroom](https://www.thinkimpact.com/elearning-statistics/#:~:text=In%202021%2C%2075%25%20of%20schools,purchase%20additional%20technology%20for%20students.). Some kids who school also solely attend classes online. While there are plenty of benefits to online learning, there are also some challenges – especially for educators. One of the biggest hurdles you can face as a teacher is keeping your students engaged and interested. When they’re at behind a computer screen, that’s an even more difficult task. So, what can you do to connect with students in the online classroom? How can you foster healthy relationships from behind a screen and keep your students motivated? ## Developing a strong relationship One of the best things you can do to connect with your students online is to foster a healthy relationship with them. Focus on building connections by trying things like one-on-one meetings or weekly check-ins where you give them a prompt to write or talk , and you discuss it together. These times of connection can help you to learn a lot your students, including their learning preferences and personalities. You can also learn more their life and any struggles they might be going through. Having an open-door policy as a teacher, even online, can make a big difference for your students. They might be struggling with [risky things](https://farzadlaw.com/helping-children-navigate-social-risk) like: - Bad influences; - Negative parental relationships; - Bullying; - Unhealthy relationships of their own (if you’re teaching older kids or teens). It’s not easy to see a child or teenager facing adversity, but when they know they can count on you to listen and be a support system, they’re more likely to stay engaged in your class and listen to what you have to say. Sometimes, all it takes is for a student to develop a sense of trust in an educator to stay engaged. ## Encouraging a sense of community Whether your entire class is online or some students are there in person while others are doing virtual learning, one of the best things you can do is foster a sense of community within your classroom. How can you connect all of your students in ways that make everyone feel involved? One of the best ways is to lean on technology for help. Online conferencing is a great way to keep everyone on the same page. They also allow you to keep daily classroom routines that everyone can be a part of. Even applications like SeeSaw are useful for asynchronous learning. Programs like these allow students to comment on another student’s work and engage with others even after class is over. Other programs, like [BookCreator](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/creating-more-interactive-learning-spaces-in-the-new-school-year/), take “book reports” to a whole new level by letting students collaborate online to actually create a book of their own – no matter where they are. Online discussions are easy to have using video chat platforms or even chat rooms. You can host these discussions after a major project, talk a book, or simply check in with your class at the end of the week to ensure everyone is on the same page. Finally, consider gamifying some of your classroom activities. Using online educational games is a great way to connect all of your virtual students, but your in-classroom kids can connect with them, too. Online games can improve engagement, [boost a sense of community](https://online.mc.edu/degrees/education/elementary/foster-community-in-online-classroom), and teach your students how to work together and the importance of everyone having a role on a team. ## Getting creative with connections As an educator, you already know how important it is to be creative. Some students don’t respond to “traditional” learning methods, so you have probably one out of your way before to adopt different methods and techniques that work for them. Consider doing similar things for students who are attending a virtual classroom. That doesn’t just mean adapting things to fit their learning preferences (though that’s important!). Rather, it means getting creative when it comes to making them feel like a part of something bigger. If you’re not sure how to get started, consider some of the following fun ideas: - Hosting virtual birthday parties for each student; - Having a “spirit week” with a different theme each day; - Sending [video postcards](https://www.edutopia.org/article/5-ways-build-connections-students-online) to your students during breaks; - Including virtual students in classroom games. You can also keep everyone on the same page by creating [informal video content](https://www.rev.com/blog/5-ways-to-connect-with-students-online). How often you do it is up to you, but one example might be creating a video every morning for the daily announcements. Make eye with the camera and utilize your body language to let the students know that you’re comfortable and engaged, so they’ll be engaged with you, too. Informal content is a great way to make everyone feel more relaxed and eager to pay attention. ## Building authentic connections online Online learning is clearly here to stay in some capacity. As technology continues to advance, it may become even more popular. Thankfully, there are ways to overcome the common hurdles of connecting with students in the online classroom. Keep these ideas in mind to stay engaged, build better relationships, and be an educator they will never forget.

They also provide employers with a reliable measure of employees’ and potential hirers’ proficiencies. However, developing effective certification programs is no easy task.Are you struggling to… Easily demonstrate that your courses meet accreditation standards Incorporate cultural, language, and inclusivity considerations in your certification courses Implement a robust certification program without draining significant time and resources Effectively market certification programs to attract and retain learners Develop fair, effective, and comprehensive assessment methods to evaluate learner performance and outcomes Keep courses up to date with rapidly evolving regulations and compliance standards ## Award-winning platform for education In the past year, we’ve received **over two dozen awards** for our innovative learning technology, including **Forbes Advisor’s** “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “**Best LMS**.” We’ve also received recognition for our work in academia, earning the title of “Best K-12 Remote Learning Partner” in the **SIIA CODiE 2022 Awards** and numerous other awards. [All awards](https://www.cypherlearning.com/awards) ## A modern learning platform for certification programs ### Develop and manage content A learning management system (LMS) serves as a centralized hub for storing and managing certification program materials, including lectures, reading materials, videos, and quizzes. This consolidation enables instructors and trainers to efficiently organize and update certification program content, while simultaneously providing learners with seamless access to materials. However, with traditional LMSs, there’s a disconnect between content development and content delivery. A truly modern learning platform integrates tech stacks and workflows to accelerate content and course creation. This integration optimizes efficiency and results in a more engaging and tailored learning experience. How CYPHER helps #### Competency creation and mastery CYPHER enhances certification programs and saves you time by automatically creating and mapping competencies to course content. This comprehensive approach ensures certification programs align with and cover all accreditation standards. Choose from CYPHER’s diverse array of over 5,000 pre-built competencies or upload your own. With the platform’s coverage analysis, you can see which areas of your course cover the required competencies and how well. Use this information to easily demonstrate that your courses meet accreditation standards or to understand where you need to strengthen your content.  #### AI-powered custom course creation Use CYPHER Agent to create customized certification courses using your own content. Upload videos, PDFs, or other materials, and CYPHER Agent will turn them into a full course complete with quizzes, gamification, mapped competencies, and more. With CYPHER Agent, you can finally meet the demand for certification courses, save time creating question banks, and designate more resources toward revenue-generating activities. #### Robust content authoring tools CYPHER’s built-in content authoring tool enables trainers and course developers to easily create rich, engaging content for certification courses – with no technical knowledge required. Using the editor, you can embed any kind of content and media including images, audio, video, Google Docs, Office documents, PDFs, and more. #### Course management With CYPHER, you can manage all aspects of your certification program in one place. The unified platform allows you to manage and oversee multiple courses from a single dashboard, bulk content upload enables you to upload and organize materials for multiple certification programs at once, scalable assessment tools enable you to quickly create question banks, and more. #### Various supported course types CYPHER makes it easy to design your certification programs in a way that works best for you and your learners. The platform accommodates various course types – self-paced, instructor-led, blended, and micro learning. Plus, the platform also enables the integration of third-party content from leading platforms – Coursera, edX, Go1, LinkedIn Learning, OpenSesame, and Udemy. This provides flexibility for every learning style, tailored certification experiences, adaptability to changing needs, and enhanced learner engagement. ### Guide learners with certification paths Learning paths enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of certification programs by providing a structured progression, a personalized learning experience, a clear roadmap to certification, and flexibility and adaptability. Traditional LMSs are often limited when it comes to providing highly customizable learning paths. While some may offer basic features for sequencing courses or grouping them based on categories, the level of customization tends to be restricted. These systems may lack the flexibility to create intricate or personalized learning paths that cater to individual learners’ needs or specific skill progressions. Compared to modern platforms, traditional LMSs don’t offer the same degree of adaptability in designing tailored learning journeys that dynamically adjust to each learner's pace, preferences, or prior knowledge. How CYPHER helps #### Customizable certification and learning paths CYPHER Learning enables you to craft personalized certification journeys and learning paths. Learning paths can seamlessly integrate courses, content pages, videos, assessments, and more, guiding learners to achieve their certification goals. Track progress effortlessly and create rules to automatically reward learners with certifications upon completion, streamlining the certification experience and decreasing administrative drudgery. #### Automation and adaptive learning Personalize the certification experience with CYPHER’s adaptive learning feature.

As learners progress and meet the required prerequisites, the system will automatically unlock and display the relevant learning content. Elevate teaching and training with personalized learning to maximize efficiency and engagement. ### Assess and collaborate LMS platforms offer comprehensive assessment tools enabling teachers and trainers to design diverse quizzes, exams, and assignments for certification courses. These robust tools serve to evaluate learners’ comprehension, deliver feedback, and ensure learners attain essential competencies before receiving certification. Collaboration features empower instructors to provide faster feedback while fostering peer-to-peer communication among learners.

SEB turns any computer temporarily into a secure workstation. It controls access to resources like system functions, other websites, and applications and prevents unauthorized resources from being used during an exam. ### Track, report, and improve LMSs revolutionize certification programs by tracking learner progress in real-time. They capture data on completion rates, assessment scores, and engagement, empowering instructors to identify struggling learners and areas needing attention. Detailed reports provide comprehensive insights into program effectiveness, aiding teachers and trainers in evaluating learner achievements, compliance with accreditation standards, and areas for improvement. Using this data-driven approach, instructors can continually refine course materials, update content, and adapt teaching methods to ensure the certification program remains relevant and aligned with industry standards. How CYPHER helps #### Analytics and reporting CYPHER offers 50 built-in and custom reporting options. These robust analysis and reporting tools encompass completion progress tracking, time monitoring, diverse report types including canned and ad-hoc reports, learner activity timelines, and specialized compliance management features. The platform's intuitive scorebook for businesses or gradebook tailored for academia allows effortless generation of insightful reports and in-depth analysis of learner scores.

This tool not only streamlines the verification of course specifications but also simplifies updating competencies, ensuring your course remains in compliance with evolving standards. ### Customize and share certifications Many LMS platforms can integrate with other systems like student information systems (SIS), HR platforms, and professional tools, allowing for streamlined operations and better data management. Modern LMS platforms can generate certificates automatically and allow for customization in line with the program's branding and specific requirements. This not only saves time but also ensures a consistent and professional representation of certifications, enhancing their value and credibility for learners and institutions. How CYPHER helps #### Robust integrations CYPHER supports various integration options, including enterprise-class, API, and Zapier connections to facilitate seamless tech stack and workflow integration and streamline processes. CYPHER is both an LTI consumer and provider, meaning that you can embed CYPHER certification programs in other LMS systems. Access popular systems like Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Zoom, Go1, HR and CRM systems, and more. ### Improve efficiency and accessibility LMSs greatly improve accessibility and efficiency in learning. They break down geographical barriers and provide learners with around-the-clock access to certification materials. This accessibility accommodates diverse schedules and learning speeds, fostering inclusivity. Some LMSs also offer greater accessibility options for different types of learners. Modern LMSs differ from traditional LMSs in that some serve as a medium to market and sell your certification programs, increasing efficiency and decreasing the steps along the buyer’s cycle. How CYPHER helps #### Accessibility The platform is designed to be accessible, catering to students with different learning needs and preferences, which is essential for inclusive certification programs.

Here are our top five “wow” demonstration moments: - **UI and UX** - *“Truly unique and amazing. What really impressed me most was the clean and visually pleasing design. The UI felt like the Apple of e-learning platforms. The user interface (UI) and training modules were super intuitive and engaging, which, for me, translates to fewer bored students.”* Experiencing our feature set live and in person made it easy for educators to understand how much easier it can be to create courses, track student and class progress, and keep their Popular features like web conferencing, automation, content authoring and gamification had many heads nodding. - **Personalized learning** - *“What I really like is that you'veinnovated on really important featuresthat we care , and historically have been challenged by. Personalization makesit easy to align content with actual student needs and you'vemade competency assessment a more reliable indicator of proficiency. Bravo!”* We demonstrated how CYPHER provides every learner a personalized experience at every stage of their learning journey to help them future-proof student learning, and achieve improved learning and reliable assessments. - **Competency-based learning approach** - *”The CYPHER competency-based learning approach immediately solves a lot of our biggest administrative challenges and creates better alignment between courses, classes, content, and student learning goals. Our current method for learning management is a one size fits all model, which is very limiting. This approach to learning is really engaging for students.”* Many organizations struggle to put efficiency around assessment, mastery, and certification. One of our goals in demoing the CYPHER platform wasto show educators first-hand how competency-based learning really personalizes the learning experience to student needs and abilities, and provides them more and better options for improving competency assessment. We wanted educators to imaginehow our competency-based approach could empower their school and help them create meaningful learning experiences that connect with a student's purpose and enhance the human experience through features like online collaboration, collaboration, gamification, and reporting. Mission accomplished. - **Automation everywhere!** - *“My role is managing and streamlining student on-boarding and the student lifecycle. I was impressed how CYPHER builds automation into everything across the site. This totally saves me time!”* CYPHER demonstrated gamification, skills development, competency, mastery, course development, on-boarding, compliance, and more. We showed prospects first-hand how automation can significantly reduce the workload of our instructors and administrators, and how they can quickly boost productivity through site-wide automation to improve student learning and course creation, and make learning more challenging and fun. - **Human Connection** - *“I was mostimpressed by the Universal Translator. We’re an international school, and the wide variety of language and seamless translation that CYPHER offers is staggering, greatly appreciated, and something that I’ve not seen before with other learning management platforms.”* The Universal Translator and the Green Dot availability status feature highlight how CYPHER brings the human connection element to the learning experience. The Universal Translator supports 50 languages for better collaboration. And whenever you log in to the CYPHER platform, the Green Dot gives you real-time visibility into course and group forum activity, providinginsight into what’s happening on the platform, what your peers and instructors are up to, and when they are available to communicate and collaborate.

When remembering those years on the other side of the teacher’s desk, we know that students don’t learn when they don’t like their teachers. Positive student-teacher relationships, as [Rita Pierson](https://www.ted.com/talks/rita_pierson_every_kid_needs_a_champion) reminds us, it's all building an adequate learning environment where teachers raise students’ self-esteem and apologize when needed. Student-teacher relationships have long-lasting implications for students’ academic and social development and contribute to higher achievement levels. When teachers choose to be guides instead of critics, students show trust, are more engaged in learning, and behave better in class. However, building positive student-teacher relationships involves more than that. It requires meeting students’ emotional needs besides the academic ones. When teachers do their part, even when things are tough or they cannot resonate with every student, it has a [visible impact](https://www.waterford.org/education/teacher-student-relationships/) on students’ academic performance, but it also reduces chronic absenteeism, promotes self-motivation, strengthens self-regulation, and improves goal-making skills. In this way, students will feel more confident to share personal information, admit to needing help in class, approach teachers to seek help in situations such as bullying, and show lower levels of conflict and higher levels of independence. ## The importance of positive student-teacher relationships We cannot underestimate the importance of positive teacher-student relationships. Research shows that having a close relationship with students [impacts them positively](https://www.apa.org/education-career/k12/relationships) in being more cooperative, engaged and having higher achievements in math and reading. They also demonstrate better social skills. Other benefits include: ### More resilient students In their book [Relationship, Responsibility, and Regulation: Trauma-Invested Practices for Fostering Resilient Learners](https://www.ascd.org/books/relationship-responsibility-and-regulation?variant=119027), Pete Hall and Kristin Van Marter Souers state that teachers should promote relationships, accountability, and regulated behavior to shape a positive learning environment. Teachers play a key role in designing instruction and providing the right learning environment, considering that students learn better when interacting with others and that they should become autonomous learners with self-regulatory abilities. ### Raising student achievement Trying to compare the impact of many influences on student achievement, John Hattie [reviewed over 800 meta-analysis](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/270585193_Visible_Learning_A_Synthesis_of_Over_800_Meta-Analyses_Relating_to_Achievement) covering approximately 80 million students His conclusion was that teachers who create positive student-teacher relationships are more likely to have students with above-average results. Hattie also underlines the student-teacher relationship variables that were among the most influential factors on student performance such as empathy, warmth, encouragement, authenticity, and respect for student backgrounds. ### Modeling appropriate behavior A negative teacher-student relationship is detrimental. This happens when we show signs of frustration, irritability, anger, making inappropriate comments, being in conflict with students, classroom management through harsh punitive control, bullying or sarcasm. As a result, teacher behavior shows students what to consider acceptable and can trigger similar behavior from students. Therefore, teachers need to start by realizing their approach has a consequence. Teachers should start by not giving up on their students and taking action before negative behavior unfolds. According to [The Harvard Graduate School of Education](https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/21/03/teacher-student-relationships-matter), educators can learn the skills necessary to build strong relationships. These skills improve teacher-student relationships for the benefit of both parties. Besides the positive impact a good relationship has on students, it also leads to [better teaching](https://neeadvantage.com/blog/researchposts/positive-teacher-student-relationships-may-lead-to-better-teaching/). ## Eight ways to build stronger connections in the classroom In order to understand how teachers can help create a positive relationship with their students, we need to decode the theories that explain student behavior: 1. *attachment theory* - close teacher-student relationships offer a secure base. Students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes while also having the ability to [compensate for insecure parent-child attachment](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/287107694_Attachment_in_the_student-teacher_relationship_as_a_factor_of_school_achievement); 2. *social cognitive theory* - teachers model and regulate student behavior through positive communication skills, feedback, and encouragement; 3. *self-esteem theory* - focuses on students’ three main needs: competence, autonomy, and relatedness. If teachers offer the right environment, they become more motivated and engaged. Students need feedback to support their feelings of competence and help them become autonomous learners. Based on these theories, teachers can understand their roles and apply in their classrooms the approach they feel is suitable for their students. Here is a list of things you can try with your students: 1. ### Get to know your students Each student is unique. However, it is harder for teachers to have a strong positive relationship with every student. Therefore, we need to acknowledge every student and provide personalized lessons that suit their needs. Students need to be seen. Even the little things, such as remembering their names and finding out something their personal lives will increase their level of self-confidence, validate them among peers, and ensure a trustworthy learning climate. 2. ### Give meaningful feedback As mentioned above, teachers should model the behavior they want to see in their students. Feedback not backed by subsequent teacher behavior has a negative effect on student behavior. As a result, students will feel targeted and this will be detrimental to their academic and social performance. Moreover, students need to receive equal attention from their teachers. Focusing the attention only on “problematic” students will negatively impact all students since some will lack the necessary guidance and some will feel overanalyzed and unfairly criticized. 3. ### Create a positive classroom climate A good learning environment starts with creating a positive classroom climate where students' needs are met. Whether it’s allowing enough time to finish tasks, organizing fun activities, or providing social and emotional support, teachers are responsible for creating a safe space where students can make mistakes and evolve. Teachers can develop a trustworthy relationship with their students to help them thrive and reach their potential. To add to the positive learning climate, teachers must create a community of learners in which students learn from and support each other. 4. ### Be respectful and sensitive Students need to feel respected and valued. Showing consideration for their struggles will boost their self-esteem and even compensate for the attention and understanding they don’t receive at . This is especially important for working with teenagers. Although they are more mature and can be made accountable for their actions, they often need more attention. Teenage students are usually experiencing an emotional rollercoaster and often feel misunderstood because they are supposed to be role models for younger students without the support they need to overcome their struggles. Teachers need to show respect toward their opinions, be sensitive in managing conflicts, help them understand what their feelings are, and try to provide the silver lining so they can go on to overcome their problems. 5. ### Positive interaction [The Center for Promoting Research to Practice](https://ed.lehigh.edu/research/center-promoting-research-practice) names active supervision, circulating, scanning, encouraging, and providing choice as the steps to ensure a positive student-teacher relationship. When interacting with students, teachers need to be in the proximity of their students, actively getting involved in their learning process, constantly offering their support, encouraging them, and offering alternatives to demonstrate learning. Offering students a voice and choice will allow them to take agency over their learning and become autonomous learners capable of making choices that suit their needs to overcome challenges and reach goals.

It's vital to sustain a relationship in time with difficult students showing reliability and trust in the long run. This way, students feel confident, trust their teachers and the learning environment and display less defiant behavior. Consistency is important when it comes to attention, but also feedback. Students will spot discriminatory treatment and inequity, which triggers unwanted behavior. 7. ### Effective communication Any relationship is based on communication. Having effective communication with students means less conflict, healthy boundaries, clear expectations, and fair consequences. Communicating clearly, regardless of the topic or the message, will have a positive result in the long run because it provides students with a socially adequate learning environment from which they can learn and apply social skills in their own relationships by re-enacting what they see in the classroom. 8. ### Involve parents When we talk students, we cannot overlook the important role their families play in their academic and emotional development. When possible, involving parents in building a positive relationship with students will demonstrate to students there is coherence between the education they receive at and at school which strengthens the teacher-student-parent partnership. ## Creating positive student-teacher relationships Teachers will always have to manage their relationships with their students carefully. Depending on how they approach this role, they can have positive or negative student-teacher relationships. Although teachers cannot make all students like them, they have to try their best to create a positive learning climate where students feel heard, understood, appreciated and supported. This strengthens their connection, all for the benefit of student academic and emotional development.

Part of that mission is ensuring that the safety workers of any company are properly trained and certified. From safety protocol to mobile equipment operation, our team of qualified professionals teach in classroom settings and in the field practicals. We are expanding our training and education platform to teach these skills nationally, in a virtual classroom setting. “We can now offer those same courses online for our clients who are not located in the Florida area. CYPHER provides the flexibility of engagement and interactive learning in a virtual setting which is valuable for our safety training courses.” Nashira McCall, Digital Marketing Manager INDUSTRY Training COMPANY SIZE Small to medium enterprise HEADQUARTERS Mulberry, FL SERVICES Workplace safety training focused on industrial, construction, and manufacturing Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Interactive learning and skills tracking are two features of crucial importance - Needed scalability to help expand the business beyond their current region “Before implementing CYPHER, we had a scalability and competition issue. Our clients across the country would choose local companies over us due to the cost of flying out employees for our on site training courses in Central Florida.” Nashira McCall, Digital Marketing Manager ## The solution - Remote access to course materials expanded engagement - Interactive learning modules have improved retention - Improved skills development as compared to traditional classes We have implemented learning engagement where our safety instructors can record themselves performing a task that was introduced and demonstrated through a fully online portal. Our safety instructors can hold discussions and "toolbox talks" virtually. We have **optimized efficiency** and **expanded engagement** with workers by allowing them to access it online from their own devices. We have been introducing our new software to our existing clients and testing our capabilities with clients in need of online training and hosting platforms. So far, we have been able to compare **student engagement**, **knowledge retention** and **skill development** between virtual and live classroom settings so far and **the results are impressive**. The users we train prefer tactical learning so lectures cause them to lose focus and attention. The material we teach is critical to the health and safety of all workers involved. “Real tactical skills can be developed and tracked through our CYPHER learning platform. That changes the game for us entirely.” Nashira McCall, Digital Marketing Manager ## The results - Engagement and interaction has increased - Self-paced learning provides users with flexibility - Quizzes and assessments ensure knowledge retention Productivity has increased tremendously. Instead of hosting a meeting for 30 mins, discussions can take place virtually. Online training means safety workers can access training from the comfort of their s vs scheduling time outside of project work to complete mandatory training. The **engagement and interaction has increased**. Classroom settings can be dull and lectures that last hours can lose the attention of workers. With online training courses, they can go at their own pace and complete knowledge check quizzes during modules to **ensure information is being processed and retained**. Knowledge retention has increased with the implementation of modular quizzes and end of course exams. For newer safety instructors, they are able to use safety jargon and explain procedures in a way that communicates their understanding of the material. By utilizing video response for course answers, we can see their **skills being developed in real time**. "CYPHER is our vehicle from brick & mortar learning to virtual, international learning."

Companies must overcome cultural, logistical, and technological barriers to ensure all employees receive uniform training, engagement, and development opportunities, regardless of location. Modern learning solutions, such as those provided by CYPHER Learning, demonstrate that standardization and flexibility can coexist to support effective global learning initiatives [(CYPHER Learning, Content Options, 2025)](/content). ## The global consistency challenge Organizations face the key challenge of balancing uniformity with adaptability in their learning content. A single, global approach risks ignoring regional cultural nuances, languages, or compliance requirements. Conversely, highly customized local training can dilute core company messages and skills objectives. Achieving global consistency requires a strategic vision that delivers coherent content while allowing localized adjustments for language and regulatory standards [(CYPHER Learning, Content Options, 2025)](/content). Traditional training development methods are often too slow to meet evolving global business demands. For example, creating one comprehensive course can take approximately 430 hours [(CYPHER Learning, Course Development, onsistent employee learning experiences if content creation becomes a bottleneck [(CYPHER Learning, Course Development, 2025)](/content-development). ## Enterprise-grade solutions: modern approaches to a universal training standard ### Scalable platforms and seamless content integration Platforms designed for large-scale deployment simplify global learning consistency. CYPHER Learning offers an enterprise-focused Learning Management System (LMS) that supports worldwide engagement with AI-powered personalization. This system delivers customized learning experiences tailored to different roles and geographic regions [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Enterprise Training, 2025)](/blog/business/enterprise-wide-training-a-strategic-approach-to-workforce-development). Content flexibility is vital for consistent yet relevant training. CYPHER Learning allows organizations to combine custom-built modules with ready-made courses from trusted providers like Coursera, Go1, and LinkedIn Learning. This hybrid approach keeps core messages uniform while enabling localized content in multiple languages. Partnerships with content providers also streamline procurement and integration for fast rollout [(CYPHER Learning, Content Options, 2025)](/content). ### AI-driven content development AI technologies significantly reduce time and resource demands in global course creation. For instance, the CYPHER Agent automates up to 90% of content development, reducing timelines from weeks or months to minutes [(CYPHER Learning, Course Development, lude: - Automated skills and competency mapping using over 5,000 preloaded frameworks to ensure adherence to company standards worldwide. - Integrated quizzes, gamification, and achievement tracking to maintain learner engagement and transparency of performance across locations. - AI-generated multimedia and localization support for over 50 languages, including synthesized images and voiceovers, enabling rapid, high-quality regional adaptations without losing uniformity [(CYPHER Learning, Course Development, 2025)](/content-development). ### Data-driven improvements and executive buy-in Maintaining global consistency is an ongoing process requiring continuous refinement. Real-time analytics and reporting tools enable organizations to identify content gaps and measure learning effectiveness, driving iterative improvements [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Enterprise Training, 2025)](/blog/business/enterprise-wide-training-a-strategic-approach-to-workforce-development). Strong executive sponsorship promotes organizational buy-in and drives training alignment with business objectives. Leadership advocacy also encourages cross-team participation, maximizing adoption rates [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Enterprise Training, 2025)](/blog/business/enterprise-wide-training-a-strategic-approach-to-workforce-development). Microlearning formats and bite-sized modules further enhance engagement and accommodate diverse schedules and regional access constraints, allowing teams worldwide to learn at their own pace [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Enterprise Training, 2025)](/blog/business/enterprise-wide-training-a-strategic-approach-to-workforce-development). ## Meeting local needs without compromising quality CYPHER Learning offers bespoke content services designed to blend global consistency with local relevance. Expert teams develop interactive, multimedia-rich training tailored by role, region, or product line. This approach preserves core content integrity while addressing language, cultural, and compliance differences unique to each market [(CYPHER Learning, Content Options, 2025)](/content). ## Building cohesive, competitive workforces Uniform, high-quality learning experiences across global operations create a unified, skilled workforce. The integration of AI-driven content creation, flexible content libraries, and advanced analytics in CYPHER Learning equips organizations to build capable teams worldwide. This strategic approach transforms the challenge of consistent global learning delivery into an opportunity for sustained organizational growth [(CYPHER Learning, Content Options, 2025)](/content). ## References 1.

Courses may not cover all necessary skills, leaving learners untaught and untested in crucial areas. This is especially challenging when skills must be created and mapped to content, assessments, and other learning activities, requiring significant time and effort. That’s where CYPHER comes in. AI-powered skills development transforms the learning experience by automating the entire skills lifecycle—from creation to mapping—with top-notch precision. The platform makes it easy to identify what learners know and don’t know, automatically aligning courses, assessments, and other resources with relevant skills. The CYPHER LMS even performs a skills audit to identify gaps, helping to ensure all necessary material is covered and learners are fully tested. Ensure courses are compliant with standards and cover all of the necessary skills. Set-up personalized learning paths and guide learners toward skill mastery, or enable them to set their own learning goals. From CYPHER’s powerful recommendation engine and adaptive learning to gamified courses and paths, everything you need to develop learners’ skills is wrapped into one platform. ## U.S News' Top LMS for Skills development U.S. News & World Report rated CYPHER Learning as the [best LMS for Skills development](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/us-news-best-lms-2024). They praised CYPHER’s skills-based learning, intelligent recommendations, human-centric approach, custom learning paths, automation, and more. ## Learning paths Teachers and trainers can create learning and certification paths with different courses, media options, quizzes, and more, to guide learners. Each course within a learning path can be treated like an assessment, with points, grading categories, and more, allowing for better tracking of skill development and adding greater flexibility to the learning journey. ## Learning goals With learning goals, learners can set and track their own skill development goals, giving them more autonomy over their learning journey. The **platform recommends courses based on these goals**, and learners can easily monitor their progress toward mastery. Administrators maintain control by choosing goals and grouping learners with similar objectives, promoting collaboration and motivation. This finely tuned approach delivers precise insights into skills mastery, enabling managers to showcase progress and organizations to validate personalized skills development. ## Skills Skills are the foundation for identifying what learners need to know and determining if they meet the level of understanding expected by their goals and/or learning path. Choose from CYPHER’s 5,000+ pre-built skills, upload your own set, or enable the power of CYPHER Agent to generate skills and align them to content in just minutes, saving tremendous time and effort. You can then see a coverage analysis of how well your course covers skills to easily determine if you need to strengthen your content. Created skills can be stored in the resources library and reused for other courses. ## Q&A forum Learners can use the Q&A forum to ask questions and get support to easily reach their active goals. Collaboration can take place at a course, network or community level. ## Mastery Mastery level is a measure of how well a learner knows certain material and skills. You can specify how you would like the platform to calculate a learners mastery level, both for a specific skill and for a collection of skills. The CYPHER platform doesn’t just track mastery levels, it also allows you to trigger different actions depending on a learner’s mastery level. This enables personalized learning at scale, increases engagement, and promotes better learning outcomes. **With mastery rules, you can trigger actions when a learner:**Achieves a certain mastery level, drops below a threshold for certain skills for a specified number of days, or maintains a mastery level for a specified period. **Actions you can trigger based on a learner’s mastery level:** Add to group, award badge, award certificate, award points, enroll in a course, show an assessment to the user, and more! Mastery demo ## Adaptive learning Experience adaptive learning like never before by utilizing automation to **dynamically personalize courses based on learners' previous actions**. This innovative feature empowers you to craft adaptive learning modules, assignments, and paths that evolve with each learner's proficiency. For instance, if a learner demonstrates mastery of a skill in an early quiz, the CYPHER platform intelligently conceals basic lessons and presents more advanced content in real-time. ## Recommendation engine The CYPHER platform goes beyond traditional learning approaches by providing proactive recommendations. **It suggests relevant materials and activities based on each learner's unique progress and interests**, elevating the overall learning experience.By default, learner **recommendations recalculate** every hour. However, when a new goal is added or an existing goal is paused/resumed/removed, recommendations regenerate immediately. ## Gamify courses and paths Elevate learner engagement and revolutionize skill development with **CYPHER's advanced gamification**, encompassing awards, competition, and motivational elements. Employ **leaderboards, periodic leveling**, and gamified elements within courses and learning paths. Enable accumulation of individual, group, and site-wide**points and badges** contingent upon participation, scores, and more.

With the right tools, you can streamline your training processes, deliver great performance, and ultimately, [drive business success](https://www.cypherlearning.com/business). Let’s explore how franchise training software can transform your franchise operations. ## What is a franchise training program? A franchise training program is a structured approach to educating new franchisees and employees corporate standards, systems, and procedures.  Franchise courses, often delivered through [learning management systems](https://www.cypherlearning.com/platform) (LMS) designed specifically for franchises, ensure consistency across all locations and help maintain the brand’s reputation. These programs cover various aspects, from operational procedures to customer service guidelines. ### Purpose of franchise training programs Franchise training programs aim to equip franchisees and their franchise employees with the knowledge and skills needed to operate their businesses successfully.

November 29, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read Employee onboarding is rapidly evolving due to changes in the labor market. Employees now switch jobs more often and look for personalized, skill-focused growth. Traditional onboarding methods—manual and static—are no longer effective. Modern Learning Management Systems (LMS) provide scalable, automated, and engaging onboarding solutions that improve retention, productivity, and brand loyalty from day one [(CYPHER Learning, Onboarding, 2025)](/solutions/onboarding). ## Why modern LMS platforms matter for onboarding Traditional onboarding relies on paperwork and passive presentations. This approach fails to meet the needs of today’s dynamic workforce, where people hold an average of 12 jobs in their careers and often switch fields after college. Modern LMSs are designed to meet these shifting needs by: - Personalizing onboarding for diverse roles and backgrounds at scale - Automating repetitive HR tasks, freeing time for strategic work - Centralizing progress tracking for targeted coaching and compliance adherence - Supporting global teams with multilingual, localized content Effective onboarding raises the chance of an employee staying at least three years by 69%, demonstrating its impact on retention [(CYPHER Learning, Onboarding, 2025)](/solutions/onboarding). ## Essential features of top onboarding LMS platforms Leading onboarding LMSs share key features that organizations should look for: ### Personalized learning pathways Employees expect role-specific onboarding aligned with their career goals.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Enderun Colleges faced challenges in delivering modern learning experiences to students while simultaneously addressing administrative inefficiencies among faculty members - Limited flexibility in course delivery Our challenges before CYPHER were very similar to most schools, which is certain inefficiencies in the way that we deliver value to all of our stakeholders, our students, our faculty, and the ability to really focus on 21st century learning styles. We wanted to use a LMS to make improvements in two key areas. One is the delivery of learning to our students in a very modern way and the second is to improve the efficiency of the faculty, so that they could spend less time on all the administrative duties and paperwork, and have more time available to the students. When we were making a decision on which LMS to select, the key decision points for us that ultimately led to CYPHER were, number one, the ease of use of the platform and the user experience. We felt that was very key because without a great user experience, adoption would be challenging. The second, of course, was the capability of the platform, to streamline and to manage courses. We also needed flexible course delivery, whether it be in-class, or blended learning, or distance learning, and we felt that CYPHER performed well in all of these areas. “We wanted to implement blended learning and we chose CYPHER because we needed a very cost effective solution for this objective.” Wilson Gan, Vice President of Academics ## The solution In terms of adoption of the platform, we were very pleased in that one school year over the course of two semesters, we were able to roll out CYPHER to our entire student body and all faculty. We did this in two phases. In the first semester, we did a selected, early adoptive group of faculty and classes, and then based on the learnings from that experience, we did additional training, and then by the second semester, we were able to roll out campus-wide. ### Features - **Grading:** One reason students enjoy CYPHER is because they can check their own grades, at any time, and they know the latest grade that they have, so there’s no argument what’s going to happen at the end of the mid-term - Choy Arnaldo, Professor - **Assignments:** In terms of the students, they love the fact that it’s very efficient for them to access course materials, they know where they stand at all times with their grades and assignments. So overall, we’ve really had a very positive experience with our implementation - Colin Christie, Director of Digital Transformation “We’ve really had a very positive experience with our implementation.” Colin Christie, Director of Digital Transformation ## The results - Enderun Colleges chose CYPHER Learning® due to its ease of use and positive user experience, recognizing that a seamless interface would facilitate smoother adoption among faculty and students - CYPHER enabled students to access their grades and course materials easily, providing transparency and eliminating potential disputes - Faculty members reported significant time savings, allowing them to focus more on student engagement and less on administrative tasks Approximately one year into adoption of our platform, the feedback has been great. I’m very pleased to be stopped often in the hallways by various faculty members who say they’re really enjoying using the platform, that it’s saving them so much time, they’re able to focus more on their students. “It’s saving faculty members so much time, they’re able to focus more on their students.” Colin Christie, Director of Digital Transformation ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Para cuando empecé a trabajar con adolescentes, tenían dispositivos sofisticados con los cuales incluso podían verificar lo que les enseñaba. Eso no quiere decir que mi educación fuera mejor que la de ellos, ni que mi generación tuviera menos distracciones. Solo fue diferente. Hoy en día, como en aquel entonces, la distracción sigue siendo el principal enemigo del aprendizaje en el salón de clases. Cuando pensamos en distracciones, pensamos en estudiantes que usan los dispositivos para fines no educativos, como estar en TikTok todo el tiempo o responder a los mensajes apenas llega una notificación. Este tipo de comportamiento se ha relacionado con [FOMO](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/ipales impulsores del [uso de las redes sociales](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6745416/) con más frecuencia. Curiosamente, al menos los estudiantes universitarios parecen ser conscientes de que los dispositivos los distraen en clase, ya que en [este estudio](https://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1350.pdf), el 80 % de las personas encuestadas afirmó que revisar todo el tiempo el teléfono para ver el correo electrónico, los mensajes de texto y las redes sociales interfiere en su aprendizaje. ## ¿Prohibir los teléfonos inteligentes en el salón de clases una solución viable? Muchos artículos suelen citar [este estudio](https://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1350.pdf) como prueba sólida para prohibir los teléfonos inteligentes. Específicamente, hacen referencia a una conclusión del estudio que indica que el desempeño de los estudiantes, medido por los puntajes de las pruebas, ha aumentado en un 6 % después de prohibir los teléfonos. Sin embargo, lo que no mencionan es lo que los autores del estudio también han descubierto después de analizar los datos: - Estos hallazgos no descartan la posibilidad de que los teléfonos móviles puedan ser una herramienta de aprendizaje útil si su uso está debidamente estructurado. - Prohibir los teléfonos móviles mejora los resultados de los estudiantes con un bajo rendimiento, pero no tiene un impacto significativo en los estudiantes con un alto rendimiento. Esto último generalmente sugiere un motivo subyacente mucho más importante por el que algunos estudiantes se distraen con mucha más frecuencia que otros, ya que los estudiantes con un alto rendimiento no se distraen tanto como aquellos con un bajo rendimiento. También pone de manifiesto la necesidad de una investigación más exhaustiva para determinar si las prohibiciones totales son o no una solución viable. La mayoría de los estudios también se llevan a cabo entre estudiantes universitarios (como una muestra más accesible para los investigadores universitarios), por lo que es una limitación importante a la hora de generalizar los resultados en estudiantes más jóvenes, por ejemplo. ## La solución: enseñar a los estudiantes a usar la tecnología Entonces, ¿qué deben hacer los profesores en este caso? ¿Qué se puede hacer cuando la política de la escuela no está bien definida en términos de uso de dispositivos? En lugar de ignorar la importancia de la tecnología en la vida de nuestros estudiantes, podemos usarla para enseñar y para enseñarles a manejar su comportamiento en torno a sus propios dispositivos. Estas son algunas ideas que se pueden implementar con éxito en cualquier salón de clases: 1. ### Crear un equilibrio entre desafíos y habilidades Todos hemos revisado el teléfono en medio de una actividad solo para ver cuánto tiempo ha pasado. Eso no sucede cuando estamos muy concentrados porque la tarea en sí es la recompensa. Ese es, por supuesto, el [estado de fluidez](https://books.google.ro/books?hl=en&lr=&id=6IyqCNBD6oIC&oi=fnd&pg=PA195&dq=the+concept+of+flow+nakamura&ots=IML9PFWbux&sig=Z5ysk--a1nUbLUtrS1CqUC9AXGY&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=the%20concept%20of%20flow%20nakamura&f=false) que los estudiantes pueden lograr en clase y cuando estudian en casa. Las distracciones interrumpen la fluidez, en el sentido de que pueden quitarnos esa sensación de estar sumergidos en el aprendizaje. Sin embargo, las distracciones también son una forma de escapar de una determinada tarea de aprendizaje. Esto sucede con mayor frecuencia cuando hay un desequilibrio entre los desafíos y las habilidades. En pocas palabras, los profesores que logran captar la atención de los estudiantes con éxito crean actividades en el salón de clases y en el hogar que no los abruman ni los decepcionan. De esta manera, no sentirán la necesidad de desconectarse mentalmente ni distraerse con la tecnología. Otra forma de ofrecer las mejores condiciones para la fluidez mental es permitir más control sobre el aprendizaje, con tareas más creativas. 2. ### Promover la participación La participación puede ser un tema esquivo, en especial para los profesores con menos experiencia. Esto se debe a que hay una gran cantidad de factores que influyen en la participación en el salón de clases, como el comportamiento, las creencias, los estados afectivos, la cognición y, por supuesto, el concepto que cada profesor tiene de la participación. Por ejemplo, un instructor puede considerar que los teléfonos son una completa distracción, mientras que otro puede creer que, siempre y cuando se usen para aprender, está bien usarlos. Sin embargo, estas son las estrategias más comunes que los profesores han encontrado útiles para minimizar las distracciones: - Minimizar el tiempo de lectura y sumar más actividades. - Preparar actividades grupales en las que los estudiantes activos motiven a los que menos participan. - Usar “trucos”, como el lenguaje corporal y la proximidad, para captar la atención de los estudiantes desconectados. - Hacer uso del humor, si es apropiado. Los profesores más experimentados también han descubierto que imponer algunas reglas funciona, aunque, en algunos casos, confiscar un teléfono móvil también puede resultar contraproducente, ya que los estudiantes se negarán a seguir cooperando. 3. ### Manejar los dispositivos Los estudiantes a menudo no aprenden a manejar su tiempo y sus dispositivos de manera adecuada. Esperamos que aprendan esto en el hogar, pero incluso para los adultos es difícil no revisar el teléfono varias veces por hora. Adoptar un enfoque basado en las habilidades significa que, cada vez que un estudiante usa el teléfono para fines no educativos, tiene la oportunidad de aprender a manejar mejor su dispositivo. Por ejemplo, impulsar técnicas de autorregulación (como poner el dispositivo en la mochila, desactivar las notificaciones, usar aplicaciones que les [ayuden a concentrarse](https://zapier.com/blog/stay-focused-avoid-distractions/)) y dar un buen ejemplo ofreciéndoles toda tu atención son solo algunas de las estrategias que se pueden aplicar en clase. Además, los profesores que logran enseñar un buen manejo de los dispositivos suelen ser abiertos en cuanto a su política de dispositivos desde el principio: lo que se espera que hagan con la tecnología (investigación para la clase) y lo que no (enviarse mensajes). 4. ### Enseñar la atención plena Lo que suelen hacer las distracciones es alejarnos del momento, de ser conscientes de nuestro entorno. FOMO y el comportamiento automático posterior de desviar la atención de una cosa a otra son las antítesis de la atención plena. La atención plena es un catalizador para generar conversaciones más profundas sobre los hábitos de los estudiantes relacionados con la tecnología, pero también es una forma de [mejorar las calificaciones](https://positivepsychology.com/mindfulness-education/), la concentración, la empatía y reducir la ansiedad para el bienestar a largo plazo de los estudiantes. Si implementar un plan de estudios que incluya atención plena no es factible en este momento, debes saber que cualquier profesor puede aprender e implementar algunas técnicas como estas en el salón de clases: - Meditación guiada de 5 minutos con un enfoque en la respiración - Ejercicios de respiración abdominal - Ejercicios de respiración [guiada con las manos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQVZgpyVQ78&ab_channel=PookyKnightsmithMentalHealth) 5. ### Descanso tecnológico En lugar de hacer todo o nada, intenta llegar a un acuerdo. Al igual que la técnica Pomodoro, un [descanso tecnológico](https://hechingerreport.org/how-a-tech-break-can-help-students-refocus/) es simplemente un descanso que los estudiantes pueden tomarse entre las sesiones de 20 a 30 minutos de trabajo concentrado. El fundamento para implementar este descanso es que los estudiantes ya están ansiosos por revisar sus dispositivos y, en lugar de decirles constantemente que dejen el teléfono, es mejor permitir un descanso de cinco minutos para fines no educativos. El descanso tecnológico es la mejor opción, porque es más probable que todos los estudiantes estén de acuerdo con este método. Además, no tiene que ser un descanso exclusivamente tecnológico: los estudiantes también pueden optar por hacer otra cosa con su tiempo si no quieren usar el teléfono. Este enfoque también se puede utilizar con éxito en el hogar. ## Conclusión Estos métodos no tienen un efecto inmediato; lo más probable es que requieran algún tiempo, pero es mejor abordarlos con determinación, tanto para el progreso de los estudiantes en la escuela como para su relación con la tecnología en general. En el futuro, es muy probable que las escuelas también enseñen gestión de la tecnología, lo que incluye el uso de la tecnología para el aprendizaje y el desarrollo profesional. Mientras tanto, los profesores deben encontrar los métodos más efectivos para convertir una potencial distracción en una herramienta útil.

However, in the absence of a physical classroom and one-on-one training sessions, it’s difficult to **motivate learners** to complete **practical learning tasks**. That’s because online courses lack that element of urgency to finish assignments on time as there are no external factors to push learners to do more. Online courses aren’t going anywhere, so course creators need to think outside the box and adopt an **experiential learning approach**. Here’s what you need to **deliver hands-on learning** for online courses: 1. ### Realistic tasks The problem with practical tasks in an online environment is that instructors give out either **too easy** or **too difficult assignments**. Creating a good task is a balance between what course participants know and what they don’t. For example, **give them a choice** between two different assignments. If the course is more complex, go with smaller ones, spread throughout a module. 2. ### Clear instructions Learners will skip assignments or become frustrated if you omit essential information. People should know **what they need** before diving into practical learning. So, be sure to **mention any equipment**, software, or other prerequisites before they click “purchase”. Suggest **free or inexpensive alternatives** to make the course more inclusive. 3. ### Great timing It’s easy to see a **decrease in motivation** when the task takes you much longer than expected to complete. Give an accurate estimation of **how much time it should take** a beginner to do something. If the assignment is more complex, try breaking it down into smaller ones so that they won’t be too intimidated to have a go at it, five minutes at a time. 4. ### Verifying progress It's useful for learners and for yourself to see if they can **apply new skills** and habits in real life. They can **showcase their progress** through photos or videos, but if the course is something less tangible, such as practicing meditation, **taking a survey** will also do. A reasonable completion rate should be around 60-70 percent, possibly lower for challenging tasks. 5. ### Feedback group As an instructor, you can’t do it all by yourself, feedback included, so you’ll need help from the learners themselves. Nothing new, as many face-to-face and blended courses employ **peer feedback**. Set up a group in your learning management system and ask learners to post their work. Encourage everyone to **give constructive criticism** as a way of developing their skills. 6. ### Fun factor If your learners need a boost to complete a practical assignment, a **fun contest** will do the trick. The prize is up to you. It could be a book, equipment, a **monthly subscription to your courses**, a discount code; **highlight their work** on social media, or offer a 1:1 coaching session. Organize competitions periodically to give more learners a chance to participate. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs.

You want your students to **devour the knowledge** you share just like they devour chocolate. But even though you create the best product, kids will always have a weakness for the one in the most **beautiful packaging**. Too many teachers focus on the educational part of their courses - making the chocolate - and simply forget , or even ignore the visual part - adding a nice packaging to it. Wrapping your course materials in a **nice visual** way is **not that hard**, and shouldn't take much time. So check out the next tips on colors, fonts, and layout. 1. ### Choose a great color theme The color theme offers the most **visual cues** to your students. Go for a **neutral color** for most text, a **contrasting background** color and choose a **statement color** for emphasis. You have two big options: a) Use a **default color theme**.No matter the online medium you choose to create a course in, you will have some default choices. Whatever you choose, the colors will **play nicely** with each other. b) Play with a **color wheel**.You just have to insert one color code and the wheel will pick the others for you. In order to find the right **color codes**, browser extension [ColorZilla](http://www.colorzilla.com/) can help. 2. ### Identify and marry the right fonts A bad pair of fonts can **steal the show** in your course. Students will find it **harder to focus** on your message when you use one or more inapropriate fonts. But if you use the exact same font all over, they'll get bored. So you need to have **balance**. To get the name of a random font you find online, the browser extension [WhatFont](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/whatfont?hl=en-US) is very handy. If you want to find the font in an image, then [WhatTheFont!](https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/) is a better option. (However, it's not perfect.) You can rely on **font families** for creating different styles of text or you could go for fonts with **contrasting features** and pair serifs with sans-serifs, thin with thick fonts, condensed with rounded-lettered fonts. 3. ### Design with the Z layout in mind An average student's brain scans a lesson and identifies the **interesting parts**, the **must-remember-for-test parts**, and also the **less important parts**. And it does so in a blink of an eye. That's why all information should be structured in a **visual layout**. According to the Z layout, people **scan a page** from the upper left corner, then go to the upper right corner, then all the way down diagonally to the lower left corner, and finish at the lower right corner. If you place all your **important educational information** along the lines of this Z (and leave other lesson elements like a navigation menu for a sidebar) you increase the chances that your students will better **retain** that information. ### Resources How to create beautiful online courses: - [Colors (CYPHER Blog)](/blog/k-20/create-beautiful-online-courses-colors/) - [Fonts (CYPHER Blog)](/blog/k-20/create-beautiful-online-courses-fonts/) - [Layout (CYPHER Blog)](/blog/k-20/create-beautiful-online-courses-layout/) - [Color Wheel Chart](http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/color-wheel.htm) - [Color Picker (Chrome extension)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/color%20picker?hl=en-US) - [WhatFont (Chrome extension)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/whatfont?hl=en-US) - [WhatTheFont!](https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/) - [Web Design: The Z Layout](http://untame.net/2012/07/web-design-the-z-layout/) - [Canva's Ultimate Guide to Font Pairing](https://designschool.canva.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-font-pairing/) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

Gleichwohl stellt**die Einhaltung**von**Richtlinien durch Mitarbeit**ende**ein "großes Problem" dar**.* PLANO (TX), 24. Januar January 2024 - CYPHER Learning, Anbieter von führenden modernen Lernplattform für Unternehmen, öffentliche Einrichtungen und Hochschulen, hat heute eine neue Studie über die Schulung von Mitarbeitenden zur Einhaltung von Vorschriften, Richtlinien und Verfahren am Arbeitsplatz veröffentlicht: The True Cost of Rule Breakers in Workplace Compliance. Die Studie belegt, dass die Nichteinhaltung von Vorschriften Unternehmen im Durchschnitt 1,5 Millionen Euro pro Jahr kostet. Zudem stellt sich heraus, dass die häufigste Ursache für Regelverstöße darin liegt, dass Mitarbeitende entsprechende Regeln nicht kennen oder nicht verstehen. Dennoch wird die Schulung der Mitarbeitenden vergleichsweise stiefmütterlich behandelt. Die Umfrage unter 400 Personal- und Unternehmensleitern in den USA und im Vereinigten Königreich ergab, dass fast neun von zehn (88%) der Befragten der Meinung sind, dass ein größeres Verantwortungsbewusstsein der Mitarbeitenden Geschäftsrisiken verringern würde. Allerdings sind 71% der Meinung, dass Mitarbeitende die Bedeutung von Richtlinien und Verfahren nicht "verstehen", sodass ihre Verpflichtung ein ständiger Kampf sei. 68% der Befragten gaben an, dass es ein große Herausforderung sei, Mitarbeitende zur Einhaltung von Richtlinien zu bewegen. Ebenfalls konnten folgende Feststellungen gemacht werden: - **Unbekannte Risiken:** Fast drei Viertel (71%) der Befragten halten es für wahrscheinlich, dass Mitarbeitende gegen Regeln verstoßen, wissen es aber oft erst, wenn etwas schief läuft. Richtlinien in den Bereichen Personalwesen, Datenaustausch sowie Gesundheit und Sicherheit sind jene, in denen die Befragten glauben, dass die Mitarbeitenden am ehesten Abstriche machen. - **Ressourcen****- und Zeitmangel****:** 98% der Befragten sind der Meinung, dass die Mitarbeitenden die Richtlinien und Verfahren eher verstehen und einhalten würden, wenn die Schulungen ansprechender wären. Allerdings gaben 87% an, dass Hindernisse wie Zeitmangel, fehlende finanzielle Mittel und Dringlichkeit sie daran hindern, die Schulungen ansprechender zu gestalten. - **Ein wachsendes Problem:**In den letzten drei Jahren haben Unternehmen Richtlinien und Verfahren zu Themen wie Cybersicherheit, soziale Medien, hybrides Arbeiten, Nachhaltigkeit, Datenmissbrauch und KI erstellt oder aktualisiert. Aber 74% der Befragten gaben an, dass sie die Richtlinien und Verfahren zwar regelmäßig aktualisieren sollten, aber realistischerweise nicht die Zeit dazu haben. Dazu sagt Graham Glass, CEO von CYPHER Learning: "Von sich ändernden Vorschriften und gesellschaftlichen Normen über die Einführung neuer Technologien bis hin zu aktualisierten Bedrohungslagen – was in einem Jahr noch akzeptabel war oder als vertrauenswürdig galt, ist es im nächsten Jahr vielleicht nicht mehr. Es ist schwierig, ja fast unmöglich, alles Geschehen zu verfolgen. Doch die Nichteinhaltung  oder das Fehlen von Richtlinien kann schnell zu Rufschädigung, Verletzungen, Geldstrafen, Umsatz- und Produktivitätseinbußen oder sogar zu rechtlichen Schritten führen. Diese Kosten sind nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. Richtlinienverstöße können stattfinden, ohne dass sie erkannt werden und die Einnahmen schmälern." Eines der Probleme, die in der Studie hervorgehoben wurden, war der Mangel an Investitionen sowie der fehlende Fokus darauf, Schulungen zu Richtlinien und Verfahren ansprechender zu gestalten. Weniger als die Hälfte (44%) der Budgets, die für Richtlinien und Verfahren vorgesehen sind, werden für Mitarbeiterschulungen ausgegeben - das entspricht im Durchschnitt nur 105’000 US-Dollar pro Jahr. Gleichzeitig gaben 66% der Befragten zu, dass Schulungen von Mitarbeitenden oft zu kurz kommen, und 62% beklagten, dass Schulungen in diesem Bereich "zu den langweiligsten Dingen" gehören, die sie zu erledigen haben. Auch Folgendes sticht heraus: - E-Mail-Updates und Unternehmens-Newsletter (47%) sind die gängigsten Methoden, um Mitarbeitende über Richtlinien und Verfahren zu informieren. - Weniger als die Hälfte (45%) der Unternehmen führen Online-Schulungen durch. Noch weniger (31%) erstellen Erklärungsvideos oder interaktive bzw. spielerische Schulungserlebnisse (26%), um Botschaften zu vermitteln. - Nur 56% der Unternehmen schulen ihre Mitarbeitenden kontinuierlich in Bezug auf Richtlinien. Ganze 65% geben zu, dass sie die Schulungen während des Einführungsprozesses als "einmalige Informationsabgabe" behandeln. - Weniger als die Hälfte der befragten Unternehmen (44%) testet das Wissen der Mitarbeitenden, um sicherzustellen, dass sie einen Prozess vollständig verstanden haben, oder klärt sie über den Zweck der einzelnen Richtlinien auf, um das Verständnis zu fördern (45%). - Noch weniger (37%) stimmen die Richtlinien auf die einzelnen Kompetenzen und Aufgabenbereiche ab, um die Relevanz zu gewährleisten. Graham Glass, CEO von CYPHER Learning: "Die Risikominderung und die Steigerung des Engagements der Mitarbeitenden gehen Hand in Hand. Es ist erwiesen, dass interaktiveres und ansprechenderes Lernen den Informationserhalt und das Engagement erhöht. Dennoch ist es eine Herausforderung, Zeit und Ressourcen zu finden, um kreativ über Richtlinien und Verfahren nachzudenken. Hier kann KI Abhilfe schaffen, indem sie Teams dabei unterstützt, zeitnahe, relevante und ansprechende Kurse in kürzester Zeit zu erstellen und individuelles Lernen in großem Umfang zu ermöglichen. Durch die Überbrückung von Kompetenz- und Ressourcenlücken gibt KI Teams mehr Zeit, mehr Ressourcen und mehr Freiheit – und das mit bemerkenswerter Effizienz und Wirtschaftlichkeit."

It’s not without good reason – **when organizations handle customer training effectively, they stand to substantially boost the bottom line.** In fact, for every dollar companies spend on customer education per year, [data shows that they have the potential to earn $6.70 in return](https://www.intellum.com/resources/research-report/increase-revenue-and-improve-customer-retention-through-customer-education-programs). Active customer accounts have also been shown to be [34% more profitable](https://www.northpass.com/customer-education-statistics#:~:text=10%20Customer%20Education%20and%20Experience%20Statistics&text=The%20same%20study%20found%20that,55%25%20higher%20share%20of%20wallet.) than those without strong customer engagement. These numbers correspond to major return on investment (ROI) and highlight the importance of working alongside customers to produce real results. In this post, we’ll preview how you can take advantage of the [best LMS for Customer Training](/solutions/customer-training) and how to discover which features are most suitable for your business culture and growth. ## Overview of customer training programs When companies think learning management systems (LMS) or platforms, decision-makers and instructors usually focus on the objectives that are central to employees. Whether it’s onboarding, [upskilling, or professional development](/blog/business/upskilling-employees-in-2023), the purpose of training programs is to deliver new knowledge and skills internally. The same is true for customer training programs, but these focus on the individuals who are actually using the service or product. Customers grow in their implementation skills and have the opportunity to become experts at a particular tool, software, or platform. According to UserPilot, [customer training is](https://userpilot.com/blog/customer-training-saas/): *“The process of educating your customers on successfully using your product and achieving their goals with it. End user training, as it’s alternatively called, increases your engagement and helps you retain customers more.”* When businesses invest in robust customer training, they’re more likely to benefit from a community of highly engaged, skilled users who are excited to represent the brand. ### What is a Learning Management System (LMS) platform? An LMS, or [learning management system](/platform), is a software that allows you to create, deliver, and report on training courses and programs. [Business News Daily defines the LMS](https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/4772-learning-management-system.html) ecosystem this way: *“A learning management system is a powerful training and professional development software resource that organizations of all sizes can incorporate into their employee onboarding process. Many LMS platforms are hosted in the cloud, allowing for remote access. An LMS combines database management within a digital framework to manage curricula, training materials, evaluation tools, course scheduling, regulatory compliance, and more.”* Although traditional LMS platforms offer one-size-fits-all training processes that lack customization, modern options like CYPHER, deliver personalization and sophisticated, [competency-based learning](/resources/guides/business/competency-based-learning) pathways. With AI-powered content creation, assessment, and reporting, CYPHER gives instructors more time and energy for big-picture tasks. ### Benefits of a Learning Management System (LMS) for customer training Many businesses stand to gain from using an LMS for streamlined content delivery, but there’s an opportunity for more organizations to hone in on these perks for improved customer management. Not only does the right LMS create a systematic way to deliver information, but it also improves business relationships. Businesses accomplish this by increasing engagement and putting even more power into the hands of the end user. **Let’s take a look at a few more goals you can accomplish by choosing the right LMS.** #### Perk 1: Centralize the user experience for learners With an intuitive LMS, learners have access to one centralized system. This is different from navigating separate onboarding or training experiences, which leads to confusion and slower product adoption. With a centralized platform, businesses eliminate customer frustration and common pain points, making accessible content easier to manage and oversee. #### Perk 2: Create a scalable on-boarding process for new customers To accommodate a growing user base, businesses need flexibility. Regardless of how many new customers you acquire at a particular time, a scalable LMS option lets you put everyone through the same training modules. In doing so, you can keep the process consistent and take a more hands-on approach to branding, training, and just-in-time learning. #### Perk 3: Personalize the experience throughout the customer journey Learner expectations always hold power. This is especially true when your team is focused on creating and publishing curriculum that makes a tangible difference. All too often, poor platform adoption happens when a customer training LMS fails to measure up to the needs of modern, digital learning expectations. With [CYPHER](/tour/skills-development), businesses have access to tailored learning paths for customers to ensure that content is relevant, timely, and accurate. Additionally, personalized paths guarantee that everyone has access to faster skill development throughout the learning process. #### Perk 4: Automate to become more productive Organizations can (and should) leverage LMS platforms to [automate administrative tasks](/resources/white-papers/business/beginners-guide-to-training-automation) that would take valuable time away from other influential tasks, such as strategic planning or developing real human relationships. As you consider this advantage to using an LMS platform, consider which tasks an LMS can handle—and which ones are best left to hands-on, manual processes. An intuitive platform assists with tasks related to user registration, enrollment, progress tracking, compliance monitoring, and certification. Plus, with CYPHER’s AI-powered technology, you can conquer 80% of the more tedious tasks like competencies and skill development mapping. Devote your resources to the foundational goals of your business, instead. ## Defining your learning and development (L&D) goals An underlying strategy is the foundation of every effective learning and development plan. That’s because strategic thinking is always critical for successful implementation, particularly when it comes to serving end users who aren’t employed by your organization. Form your L&D goals on what you need to meet requirements and how you can invest available resources into more in-depth customer training. This requires taking a step back, looking at your use cases carefully, and finding the balance between [over-investing or investing too little](https://www.infotech.com/research/ss/take-an-educated-approach-to-developing-an-lms-strategy) in a platform. At CYPHER, we know that there are a few key pillars for learning and development, which may vary based on your particular industry and use case. These pillars include: - **People** – Who’s doing the learning? - **Content** – What’s most important for them to learn or take away? - **Administration** – Who’s monitoring progress and feedback? To define your learning goals for customers, move through the sections below, as you keep these core priorities in mind. ### Tip 1: Identify areas of improvement in your current training program The first step to replacing or improving your customer training initiative is to identify current gaps. Why do you need to fix what’s broken in your existing learning strategy? Are there bottlenecks, points of frustration, or lack of resources? Do you have buy-in from decision-makers or stakeholders? The up-front questions make it easier to create practical solutions that solve real issues. Keep in mind that while these problem-identifying discussions happen behind the scenes, they still have an impact on customer relationships and decisions. That’s why having a proven method for identifying and handling concerns is the first step for success. ### Tip 2: Establish new outcomes for modern LMS implementation As you consider your target market or current customer, think new LMS goals with the end in mind. What are the tangible, practical, and achievable goals for your program? Many companies measure the following outcomes as a way to gauge the customer experience and generate growth in revenue metrics. - **Mastery of the product** – How well do customers know and use the product or service? Are they growing in their knowledge of how to make the most of it? - **Brand loyalty**– Are customers benefiting enough from your programs that they are willing to stay loyal for a longer timeframe? What is the lifetime value (LCV) of current customers? - **Productive feedback cycles** – Are your customers comfortable with delivering feedback in productive ways? Does the feedback make it back to the right internal players so that the company can institute changes? ## Examining LMS customer training features and programs LMS platforms are equipped with key features, allowing instructors and course designers to adapt the curriculum for unique purposes. When evaluating LMS features for customer training programs, consider your desired outcomes and the types of people (or learners) that you’ll be instructing. An in-depth examination also ensures that you can customize the separate pieces that are most important to those big picture goals. ### Social learning capabilities For customers who are not necessarily connected to your internal operations, it’s important to forge personal connections that give more meaning to the learning process. Learning in community is essential for connection and knowledge retention. That’s why CYPHER prioritizes a social learning experience that helps remote learners and external users excel. As you train, having the chance to interact with others can boost motivation, help learners achieve better results than they would in isolation, and create a more positive environment and learning experience than you’ll find in the status quo. ### Learner engagement Customer training programs generate better learner engagement by offering interactive content, gamified elements, discussion forums and feedback outlets, and real-world scenarios. These examples are most engaging when they’re incorporated throughout each training module or concept. Discover how to [automate](/tour/automation) and [gamify](/tour/gamification) your learners’ experiences. Regular updates, personalized learning paths, and responsive design also contribute to user-centric experiences, fostering active participation and knowledge retention. ### User interface A [productive user interface](/tour/ui-and-ux) (UI) is crucial for customer training programs since it has the potential to completely change the learning experience—for better or worse. Well-designed interfaces always enhance accessibility, improve navigation, and foster engagement. When customers can leverage clear layouts, intuitive controls, and interactive elements, it makes content more digestible. Plus, user-friendly features kickstart learners’ confidence by encouraging exploration and promoting a positive end result. These features also reduce friction and encourage greater participation—a win-win for learners, instructors, and observers. An intuitive UI also changes the level of knowledge retention and successful learning outcomes, which are the end goal of any trustworthy customer training solution. ### Reporting and analytics Within customer training programs, reporting and analytics tools are essential if you hope to use data-driven insights for tracking and decision-making. Reports track learner progress, identify which content is most influential, and highlight any weak spots in the curriculum. [Analytics and reporting tools](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) are also critical for measuring engagement, completion rates, and assessment scores. Better data provides a clear view of your training program's impact on customer success. Plus, regular evaluation ensures that your training efforts actually align with real customer needs while improving knowledge and delivering a superior experience. ### Content creation and distribution options [Content creation](/tour/content-development-and-delivery) for customer training programs shouldn’t be time-consuming, tedious, or confusing. Delivery and distribution should also be seamless and well-designed to best meet the expectations of learners who don’t have the convenience of existing within the organization or business. Content that’s well-crafted and easily accessible supports the needs of customers while supporting knowledge transfer and building trust. On the other hand, distributing that content across multiple channels enables broader reach and flexibility, accommodating different learning preferences and schedules. Automate course creation, gamification, assessments, etc. so you have more time to train and connect with customers and partners. With [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot), you can build comprehensive, competency-based, gamified courses in under 10 minutes. ### Tracking progress and performance With CYPHER (LMS for customer training), instructors can stay informed with helpful charts and reports to [track progress](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation).

On the flipside, it also means that **teachers, edtech specialists** or **principals** can easily get overwhelmed by the number of edtech tools and new information. So besides packing their bags, laptops, agendas and passports, teachers can do a little extra something: their pre conference work. In order to get the most out of your time, here are some steps to help you **navigate the exhibition area** like a pro: 1. ### Make a list of goals for your school Why are you attending the exhibition in the first place? Setting goals might seem overwhelming, especially since there are many needs to take care of and it’s hard to prioritize. The easiest way is to look at what needs to change in order to improve your daily teaching such as minimizing the time it takes to grade essays. 2. ### Plan for the exhibition as well There are hundreds of exhibitors and little time to visit them all. The best strategy is to prioritize according to what is most important for you. The conference website usually has a list of vendors, and you can use filters such as K-12, LMS, whiteboards, and so on to get an idea of what to see first and what is simply not relevant for you. 3. ### How will this work for your classroom A product demo isn’t just a nice feature of an exhibition, it is actually necessary for getting a first impression and decide whether it has potential. This step can help schools save a lot of time and energy as exhibiting vendors are already prepared and eager to present their products and answer your questions. 4. ### Network, network, network Even if it seems counterintuitive, sometimes the best idea sharing and professional connections happen outside your school. Sometimes the best debates and very interesting discussions happen while standing in line for coffee, at lunch, or just walking from one session to another. In addition, exchanging emails or Twitter handles helps keep the conversation going. 5. ### Keep the necessary information Many new and interesting ideas can be lost in a second in the sea of information. A good tip is to go over each brochure at the end of the day and keep what is needed. This should only take a few minutes. Participants can also leave business cards or make stickers with names and email addresses that can be used instead of writing down their details all the time. 6. ### Post conference follow-up A great way to stretch that post conference glow just a little bit longer is to organize and sift through notes and any other relevant materials such as flyers. This is the step that can also help you choose which tools to consider next. For example, products can be categorized with the help of a simple list with three columns named: “definitely”, “maybe” and “for the future”.

One of the main capabilities that enable such systems is automation. Although the sole name ‘’automation’’ might be intimidating if you’re the non-tech-savvy type, don’t worry. Most [LMSs](/academia) are intuitive, so using automation comes easily to more and more educators. Automation features allow you to trigger specific actions in the platform based on students’ progress. For example, when a student finishes a class, you can automatically award them a certificate of completion and send them a congratulations message. If new students join your class, you can send them welcome messages and enroll them in different classes. Managing accounts, creating learning paths, games, or assessing students also rely heavily on automation. Moreover, you can personalize students’ access to classes and the content they see according to their level of understanding. There are myriad things you can achieve with automation. They all help you save time, customize and optimize your teaching. Learn how to make the most of your [LMS automation features](/academia/features). ## How do LMS automation features work? Automation sounds complicated but it isn’t. You choose to what extent you want to use your LMS automation features. Naturally, you are also free to select the features you want to use first and ignore the ones you’re not yet ready for. If you’re curious to learn how automation works, the answer is simple. The whole system relies on if-then statements. If a condition is met, the system recognizes it. Then, it triggers an action in response. For example, once a student completes an assignment, they can automatically get an award and a notification that signals they’ve moved on to the next lesson. All the features are pre-configured. So, don’t worry dealing with complicated settings. You have all the options at hand. All you have to do is select the actions and triggers and let the platform do the rest. ## Why use an LMS to automate teaching tasks? A reliable LMS helps you create engaging content for your students. It also enables you to streamline the entire teaching process. LMSs offer a complete solution for content delivery, student assessment, student-teacher and group communication. The automation features play an important role in all these activities. Much of what you would normally do manually (e.g. sending messages to each student) can be automated. Moreover, this feature allows you to create a more dynamic and personalized learning experience. The bottom line is that you gain more time to invest in building relationships with your students or creating more engaging materials for your classes. In the end, edtech is also here to support teachers’ work-life balance. ## How can LMS automation features help you? Using these automation features in conjunction is the best way to make the most of your LMS, so here are a few common processes that are commonly automated:  ### Automate grading Teachers usually spend hours per month just grading student work. This process takes so much time, and it can easily be done by your LMS. For example, the platform checks true or false or multiple-choice quizzes with zero human intervention. You just have to add the questions and answers, mark each correct answer, and the LMS will automatically calculate students’ grades after they complete the quiz. Then, it will also show them the score and a breakdown of their correct and incorrect answers. You also get to choose how many times students can answer a question by setting the number of attempts. Furthermore, you can set the minimum score needed to pass a test. After successfully completing an assignment or a class, students will automatically receive a certificate of completion. To create these certificates, most LMSs offer ready-made forms you simply have to customize.

LMS automation allows you to adapt to each person’s rhythm effortlessly. Thus, you avoid overwhelming students with too-complicated content. Conversely, students who advance faster won’t get bored. They will see more advanced content as they make progress. Automation enables you to add rules to a class or assignment based on student progress. For instance, if a student achieves a 90 percent score on a test, you can further challenge them by unlocking a more challenging assignment. On the contrary, students who barely get a 50 percent score need more help. Therefore, you can direct them to repeat certain sections of your class. They can also unlock simpler quizzes to help them retain information and gain more confidence. This feature is called adaptive learning and it helps boost student performance through dynamic content. Each student will see and use the content based on their mastery level within the platform.   It’s up to you to create personalized learning paths for your students. Not all of them will arrive at the same level simultaneously. Simultaneously, expecting them to meet the same standard at the same time is not efficient. ### Leverage gamification [Gamification](/tour/gamification) is one of the most popular e-learning features. No matter what age they are, most students love games. It’s easier to retain information in the long term if the learning experience is immersive and enjoyable. This is precisely what you achieve while teaching and assessing students through gamification. To leverage the maximum potential of games, make them challenging. You can do this by automatically awarding points, prizes, or badges once a student passes a level or finishes the game. This will boost their engagement, commitment, and ambition. Furthermore, it will help them retain information more easily. You get to define the rules of the game and decide when to offer students awards. Make the game as simple or as complex as you want and add awards and badges accordingly. Besides in-game notifications such as pop-ups, students can also receive email messages when they gain a new badge or point. All of this is possible through automation. ### Streamline communication There are countless reasons why you need to keep in touch with parents and students. Doing this by phone or email can be tedious. You can rely on your LMS and its automated messaging capabilities to speed up your work. Once students have an LMS account, you can send them all sorts of canned messages. You can easily keep them up-to-date, from class enrollment notifications to class completion certificates and assignment completion reminders. Furthermore, you can use automation to streamline your communication with parents. For example, they can get notifications when their children complete a new assignment. Also, you can ask students to provide feedback directly within your LMS by setting rules for automated review requests. At the end of each class, you can find out what students liked/disliked it without wasting class time on this. ### Facilitate account management Automation can also ease your student account management tasks. For example, if a new student is added to the platform, you can automatically enroll them in a class. For new students, you can create specific learning paths. This personalized learning strategy allows you to gradually walk the student through specific classes and assignments based on their knowledge and interests. Upon completing a class or a learning path, students can immediately access other paths and classes based on the rules you set for their accounts. It all happens by default once you add the settings. Speaking of which, don’t worry, as there are [guides](/resources/guides/academia/teachers-guide) and tutorials to help you make the most of automation and other features. ## Wrapping up You reach plenty of goals through LMS automation, from personalizing student learning experiences to grading assignments or sending notifications. Automation comes with full flexibility, and you can use it however you like or need. In today’s fast-paced world, teachers need to rely on technology to ease their job. Put repetitive teaching tasks on autopilot by leveraging LMS automation features. You’ll enjoy the benefits of working smarter, not harder.

Overcoming this requires a concerted effort to educate and prepare your team. ## Educate your team Demystify AI by clarifying its capabilities and limitations. Provide training on different types of AI beyond just generative AI, helping teams understand how it can be applied to L&D to add genuine value. This foundation enables the identification of truly useful AI use cases versus those that are merely superficial. ### Clarifying AI capabilities and limitations A foundational step is to understand what AI can and cannot do. This involves moving beyond a surface-level understanding and delving into the practical applications and inherent constraints of various AI technologies. For instance, while generative AI excels at creating content, it lacks true comprehension and can sometimes produce biased or inaccurate information. Understanding these nuances allows L&D professionals to approach AI with a critical and realistic perspective. ### Training beyond generative AI Many discussions around AI in L&D tend to focus almost exclusively on generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Bard. While these are powerful, they represent only one facet of the broader AI landscape. Effective training should encompass a wider range of AI types, including: - **Machine Learning (ML):** For personalized learning paths, predictive analytics, and adaptive content delivery. - **Natural Language Processing (NLP):** For sentiment analysis in feedback, automated content tagging, and intelligent search functions. For example, AI-powered chatbots that can understand user queries and respond accurately. - **Computer vision:** For analyzing learner engagement through video, or even identifying physical safety hazards in vocational training simulations. - **Robotic Process Automation (RPA):** For automating administrative L&D tasks, freeing up human resources for more strategic initiatives. By exposing L&D teams to these diverse AI applications, they can begin to envision how different AI types can be strategically integrated into their workflows and offerings. ### Identifying genuine value vs. superficial use cases This comprehensive understanding of AI's capabilities and limitations, coupled with exposure to various AI types, empowers L&D teams to differentiate between genuinely valuable AI use cases and those that are merely superficial or technology-for-technology's-sake. Genuine value in AI for L&D typically stems from: - Personalization at scale: Delivering highly relevant and individualized learning experiences to a large audience. - **Efficiency gains:** Automating repetitive tasks, streamlining content creation, and reducing administrative burdens. - **Data-driven insights:** Leveraging AI to analyze learning data, identify trends, predict performance, and optimize interventions. - **Enhanced engagement:** Creating interactive and immersive learning experiences that keep learners motivated. - **Accessibility and inclusivity:** Using AI to adapt content for diverse learning styles and needs. Conversely, superficial use cases might involve: - Implementing AI solely because it's a trend, without a clear problem to solve or demonstrable return on investment. - Automating tasks that are better performed by human interaction or critical thinking. - Using AI to create content without sufficient human oversight, leading to inaccuracies or lack of nuance. - Focusing on flashy AI features that don't genuinely contribute to learning outcomes. By building this foundational knowledge, L&D professionals can move beyond the hype and strategically integrate AI to add genuine, measurable value to their organizations and learners. This proactive and informed approach ensures that AI becomes a powerful enabler of effective and engaging learning, rather than just another technological distraction. ## Set policies Establishing clear and transparent safeguards alongside comprehensive acceptable use policies is paramount for fostering trust and confidence in the adoption of AI within any organization.  These guidelines serve as the foundational pillars for responsible AI integration, ensuring that all stakeholders understand the boundaries and expectations for its use. It is essential to meticulously align these AI-specific policies with broader organizational policies, such as data privacy regulations, ethical conduct codes, and information security protocols. This alignment guarantees consistency across all operational aspects, preventing fragmentation or contradictory directives.  By clearly articulating how AI tools should be utilized, what data can be processed, and the ethical considerations involved, organizations effectively prepare their people for the responsible and ethical application of AI technologies. This proactive approach minimizes risks, promotes adherence to legal and moral standards, and ultimately maximizes the beneficial impact of AI. ## Manage change Proactive and transparent communication is key when rolling out new AI features. When introducing new AI-powered features, it's crucial to clearly articulate the tangible benefits to both individual users and the wider organization. This involves explaining precisely how AI will streamline their workflows, enhance their learning experiences, and ultimately make their professional lives easier and more productive. Furthermore, a significant component of this communication strategy must be addressing concerns around data privacy and security. Users need to be reassured how their data is protected, how it's being used, and that robust safeguards are in place to prevent misuse. Building trust through transparent policies and clear explanations is paramount. Finally, it's important to illustrate how these new AI capabilities contribute to the overall success of the organization. This could involve demonstrating improved efficiency, enhanced decision-making, or a more personalized and effective learning environment. By connecting the dots between AI adoption and organizational goals, L&D professionals can foster a more positive and receptive environment for these technological advancements.

When employees see that training connects to their growth and day-to-day work, they're more likely to stay invested and apply what they’ve learned in meaningful ways. ### Advanced analytics for data-driven decision making One of the biggest benefits of training monitoring tools: data to leverage in detailed analytics, which facilitates informed decision-making. For example, you can eliminate ineffective modules and focus on high-impact content; identify struggling employees early enough to provide the necessary support; and spend your training budget on initiatives that deliver the best ROI for the organization.  Additionally, incorporating machine learning can further enhance data-driven decision making by continuously evaluating and adapting training programs based on real-time data. ### Cost and time efficiency Automated tracking reduces administrative burdens and streamlines processes. Training managers and your HR team are free to focus on high-impact work instead of tracking spreadsheets. And when a single system trains and tracks all employees simultaneously, this reduces training costs per person.  ## Ensuring consistency in training monitoring Consistency in training monitoring keeps programs effective and aligned with business goals. Standardized processes ensure that progress tracking, evaluations, and data collection remain accurate and actionable across teams. A centralized monitoring framework helps organizations track key metrics while maintaining clear guidelines for data collection and analysis. This reduces inconsistencies, ensures high data quality, and keeps training efforts on the right path. In the long run, consistent monitoring leads to better employee development, improved productivity, and stronger business outcomes. ## Challenges and considerations The benefits of capturing learning data are immeasurable, but there are roadblocks that you may need to overcome.Take a look at these common challenges that often pop up when putting learning monitoring in place so you’re prepared to solve each one. Choosing the right software solutions can help address these challenges effectively. ### Data privacy and security Any software you use needs to protect sensitive information and to [be compliant](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/how-much-does-non-compliance-really-cost) with any regulations that apply. To resolve this issue, make sure you select a tool that complies with sensitive data standards and privacy laws (like the GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA). Then, implement role-based access controls and conduct regular security audits. ### Building confidence and adoption One challenge may be that L&D teams aren't yet comfortable working with data or using it to drive decisions. Instead of positioning this as a major shift, offer training and support that helps them build confidence in interpreting learning data and applying it to improve outcomes. Encourage collaboration and show how small insights can lead to smarter, more impactful learning strategies. ## Future trends in training monitoring What’s on the horizon for training monitoring? As [artificial intelligence](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/5-game-changing-reasons-ai-is-the-future-of-corporate-training) continues to evolve, AI-driven tools will improve and advance, too. Here are three trends you might expect to see in the not-so-distant future. ### Integration capabilities of artificial intelligence AI-driven processes are being utilized to assess and plan worker skills; identify training needs; and support internal hiring. For example, companies like Johnson & Johnson and DHL are leveraging AI to [enhance workforce capabilities](https://www.ft.com/content/9cf58a76-5245-4cdf-9449-239e90077eb5) by analyzing which skills employees have and which ones they could brush up on.  ### Virtual and augmented reality VR and AR can create immersive training environments that simulate real-world scenarios, enhancing employee learning experiences. For instance, [Walmart has used VR simulations](https://arborxr.com/blog/customer-story-walmarts-blueprint-for-training-1-million-employees-in-vr/) to let employees walk through scenarios such as chaotic Black Friday crowds in a safe, controlled environment.  These tools support training monitoring by capturing user interactions and performance data, helping employers assess skills and track progress in real time. ## Monitor employee training with CYPHER The right training monitoring tool can go a long way in boosting organizational performance.

Unfortunately, many online learning platforms don’t do much to stimulate social interaction, provide real-time visibility of activity on the learning platform, or create a feeling of community.And this has left many learners feeling isolated, bored, and disconnected, validating how important social learning is in online learning environments. Social learning allows learners: - to interact with one another - share knowledge and experience - develop a sense of community, which enhances learning experience, fosters collaboration, and promotes deeper understanding and retention ## Stay connected with the little green dot activity display With a unique CYPHER Learning feature, the activity display, also known as, the Green Dot, learners can for the first time visually see and receive real-time activity updates from peers and instructors via a green pulsating dot. The activity display serves two purposes: ### View activity in a course When you login and see a green dot flashing on a course tile, this is a notification that there is activity inside of that course. Clicking into the course takes you to a modular level where you might see green dots flashing on several of those modules, indicating that other people are active within those modules. ### View activity in a group Learners can better interact in groups and forum discussions, share ideas, get answers to questions, and gain an understanding of the subject matter on the spot. So for example, if one of your groups is called the blue study team and the green dot is flashing on the group, it means that other people in the blue study group are currently active, online, and interacting. When learners click into a course or a group, an activity widget, a real-time scrolling display of current activity appears on the upper right-hand side of the screen. An instructor might see that one student just completed the course, another uploaded an assignment, and another student received ten points for properly completing an assignment. The activity indicator can also be customized and names anonymized. Students can view peer progress and as activity and participation increase, the green dot gets bigger and it pulses faster. ## Improve your learning environment and connect with the little green dot Online learning has experienced a lot of rapid change just in the past few years with few signs of that slowing down. Although perhaps not as sophisticated as other features, The green dot is a social interactivity feature that improves visibility, collaboration, and fosters an engaging and effective learning environment. ## Things you can do next If you enjoyed this blog and want to learn more our platform for energized modern learning, check out the [Platform](/platform) page.

However, there are things that you can do to make sure that learners will not only adopt the new platform, but will remain engaged for a long time. That is why we have prepared this handy guide for a successful LMS launch: 1. ### Define your LMS goals For a successful LMS launch, companies should have clear goals and a plan on how to achieve them. Conduct a Training Needs Analysis to see what employees need to know and how this aligns with your business goals. This stage will also help you measure learning later on. 2. ### Get everyone on board Important stakeholders such as the CEO and middle management should be on board from the very start. They should have a clear view of why using an LMS is important for the business, and should be provided with constant updates. Gather a team with different roles: administrator, instructor, instructional designer, and more. 3. ### Create a learning experience map A learning experience map helps you visualize the learner’s journey from the beginning to the end. It helps you make important decisions such as whether learners sign up themselves or are given an account. Learners also need to see how training programs are interconnected and how to make the most of each learning opportunity. 4. ### Get to know the platform Be curious. Get to know the different aspects of your LMS, such as how features and integrations work. Take some time to learn automation, gamification, reporting tools, and other more advanced tools created to engage your learners. Keep in touch with your LMS provider and get help from them if needed. 5. ### Make the LMS your own The platform should feel as 100% your company and a reflection of your brand. Customizing the logo, color scheme, and main portal are just some of your options. You can integrate with different tools that you normally use. If you need something extra, get a custom branded app! 6. ### Make learners a part of the process Learners will be more likely to adopt the LMS if they feel involved in the process. You can ask for their opinions on what you should name your portal, their preferred content format, their favorite way to communicate with each other. That should also make them eager to learn more the platform. 7. ### Have enough content planned out The platform needs to be user-friendly and have a beautiful interface. However, the magic is in the content. Learners will grow bored with the LMS if there is nothing for them to learn. Plan ahead and create courses even if they are not published right away. Ideally, learners should find a courses and at least a learning path to begin with. 8. ### Start with a pilot Starting smaller is a great way to test the platform before a full launch. Choose a region or a department that can act as your testers and give valuable feedback for improvement. It also helps you troubleshoot if there are any problems that users might encounter. 9. ### Create a launch campaign To ensure that learners will adopt the new platform, you need to create some anticipation. For example, you can release teasers to create some hype. Create polls or surveys asking for what they want from training. Of course, the easiest way would be to also have an email campaign with updates ahead of the official launch day. 10. ### Create a comprehensive learner’s guide If your LMS provider is anything like CYPHER, you will have comprehensive guides and help to get learners on track from day-1. You might also want to create your own internal documentation containing enrollment instructions, information on how to complete user profiles, etc. Use the learning experience map for optimum results. 11. ### Hold a launch event The day of the LMS launch is very important. This is the moment to make a good first impression and celebrate your hard work so far. The company can host an offline office party, which is a great opportunity to talk to get initial reactions. However, for a larger company with different offices it’s also possible to host an online event. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

Organizations that treat compliance as a mere formality risk legal, financial, and reputational damage. More importantly, they miss the chance to build a resilient culture that protects their long-term success. Leading organizations now embed compliance as a continuous, proactive practice integrated into everyday operations [(GO1, Compliance Is More Than a Checkbox, 2025)](https://www.go1.com/blog/compliance-is-more-than-a-checkbox). ## Compliance is a continuous process, not a one-time task Compliance training should not be a one-off event. Many companies still require employees to complete mandatory courses and check a box, but this approach lacks lasting impact and does nothing to ensure behavioral change. Regulatory requirements evolve constantly, demanding that organizations regularly update training materials, policies, and procedures [(NAVEX, Why Regulatory Compliance in Australia, 2025)](https://www.navex.com/en-us/blog/article/why-regulatory-compliance-in-australia-is-more-than-just-a-checkbox/). Embedding compliance into company culture shifts its role from a burdensome task to a key risk management tool. Continuous training strengthens customer, partner, and employee trust by signaling a genuine commitment to ethical and legal standards [(GO1, Compliance Is More Than a Checkbox, 2025)](https://www.go1.com/blog/compliance-is-more-than-a-checkbox). ## True risk reduction requires holistic compliance Minimal, checkbox-driven compliance overlooks broader risks. For example, healthcare organizations that only meet HIPAA regulations might miss threats like ransomware attacks or supply chain vulnerabilities [(Censinet, Beyond the Checkbox, 2023)](https://www.censinet.com/perspectives/beyond-the-checkbox-moving-from-hipaa-compliance-to-true-risk-reduction). Effective compliance demands integration with a wider risk management framework. It involves not just meeting regulations but also managing information security, privacy, and safety challenges. This holistic strategy allows organizations to adapt swiftly to new threats and regulatory changes. ## Building a culture of security and accountability Checkbox training focuses heavily on completion rates without fostering behavior change. Research shows organizations with a strong culture of security awareness experience 30% fewer security incidents [(Verticomm, Security Awareness Culture, 2025)](https://www.verticomm.com/post/security-awareness-culture-from-checkbox-compliance-to-real-results). When employees feel responsible for security, they detect threats more quickly and respond effectively. Key methods to build this culture include embedding compliance in daily workflows, encouraging peer accountability, and recognizing positive behavior. Reward-based training approaches increase engagement by 76% compared to punishment-led models. Tracking real behavior changes—not just course completion—ensures sustained improvement [(Verticomm, Security Awareness Culture, 2025)](https://www.verticomm.com/post/security-awareness-culture-from-checkbox-compliance-to-real-results). ## Sector-specific compliance needs demand customization Each industry faces distinct compliance challenges. Nonprofits need actionable checklists and comprehensive documentation to maintain funding and governance compliance [(CalNonprofits, Nonprofit Compliance Checklist, 2025)](https://calnonprofits.org/resources/nonprofit-compliance-checklist/). E-commerce businesses must comply with PCI standards while also safeguarding payment data through ongoing system updates and staff training [(HostDuplex, Magento PCI Compliance, 2025)](https://www.hostduplex.com/blog/magento-pci-compliance/). Generic training fails to meet these diverse industry needs. Tailored, sector-specific content and continuous monitoring ensure compliance efforts align with both external regulations and internal performance goals. ## Role of digital learning platforms in enhancing compliance training Modern Learning Management Systems (LMS) like CYPHER Learning enable organizations to create adaptive, personalized compliance training programs supported by detailed tracking and analytics [(CYPHER Learning, What Is an LMS, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/what-is-an-lms). ### Key features that strengthen compliance training - **Personalized learning paths:** Align courses with employee roles, skill levels, and evolving regulations for greater relevance and engagement. - **Real-time analytics and reporting:**Move past simple completion metrics by tracking actual learning outcomes, identifying gaps, and verifying compliance. - **Automation and integration:** Streamline management of onboarding, upskilling, and policy updates across departments and regions. - Accessibility and customization: Deliver training in over 50 languages, with mobile access and adherence to accessibility standards [(CYPHER Learning, Features, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/business/features). With these capabilities, CYPHER Learning transforms compliance from a redundant task into a strategic competitive advantage through ongoing engagement and measurable risk reduction [(CYPHER Learning, Features, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/business/features). ## Embracing the digital learning revolution for compliance Forward-thinking organizations are shifting compliance training toward continuous learning, adaptability, and employee engagement. LMS platforms like CYPHER Learning automate monitoring, support regular improvements, and deliver evolving training aligned with organizational needs [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Employee Training Revolution, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/employee-training-software-revolutionizing-workplace-learning). In today’s digital era, compliance as a checkbox is obsolete and risky. The most resilient organizations will be those that leverage adaptive training, prioritize behavioral change, and use technology to cultivate a culture of compliance [(CYPHER Learning, What Is an LMS, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/what-is-an-lms). ## References 1.

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have transformed how businesses train and evaluate their workforce. The key advantage of an LMS lies in its ability to collect extensive data on learning behaviors. This data turns training activities into actionable insights, directly improving employee performance and business outcomes. ## Understanding LMS analytics: the foundation of data-driven performance management LMS analytics is fundamental to modern talent development. These systems automatically gather data whenever employees engage with training content. This data covers progress through modules, assessment results, engagement frequency, and time spent on learning tasks [(Coursebox, LMS Analytics, 2025)](https://www.coursebox.ai/blog/lms-analytics). Typical metrics tracked include: - **Course completion rates:** Tracks the percentage of employees finishing their training modules. - **Assessment scores:** Measures knowledge retention and skill mastery. - **Engagement levels:** Tracks active participation and time spent on course activities. - Skill gap analysis: Identifies training needs aligned with company goals [(TalentLMS, Employee Performance Metrics, 2025)](https://www.talentlms.com/blog/employee-performance-metrics/). Managers use these insights to offer timely feedback, customize learning paths, and intervene where performance improvement is necessary. ## Predictive learning analytics: shaping the workforce of tomorrow Predictive analytics in advanced LMS platforms goes beyond measuring current performance. It forecasts future learning trends and skill requirements by analyzing user behaviors and assessment results [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Predictive Learning Analytics, 2024)](/blog/business/predictive-learning-analytics). Key benefits of predictive analytics include: - Anticipating skill gaps before they impact business. - Designing targeted training programs aligned with future needs. - Optimizing training investments to maximize ROI. For example, AI-driven predictive tools could match employee potential with evolving organizational demands, supporting scalable growth and reducing unnecessary expenses [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Predictive Learning Analytics, 2024)](/blog/business/predictive-learning-analytics). Predictive analytics rely on gathering good data from meaningful interactions, both of which you can get from an LMS like CYPHER Learning. ## From reporting to real-time optimization The strength of LMS data lies in converting raw information into actionable strategies. Modern LMS platforms offer intuitive dashboards and customizable reports. These tools allow administrators to analyze data by department, role, or location, helping identify hidden issues or success patterns [(AbsorbLMS, Unlocking Insights, 2024)](https://www.absorblms.com/blog/unlocking-insights-tapping-into-lms-reporting-analytics/). Examples of data-driven actions include: - Adjusting course content based on low completion or engagement rates. - Introducing gamification or interactive features to boost participation. - Linking learner engagement directly to key business metrics such as productivity or customer satisfaction. - Updating training materials regularly to maintain relevance for different employee groups [(eLearning Industry, Analyzing the Effect, 2024)](https://elearningindustry.com/analyzing-the-effect-of-your-training-programs-using-lms-analytics). ## Continuous performance improvement through targeted training LMS analytics enable personalized training plans that address specific skill gaps and future workforce needs. Instead of generic programs, companies can create customized learning journeys. This approach improves knowledge retention, enhances skills, and drives measurable productivity gains [(eLearning Industry, Boosting Employee Performance, 2025)](https://elearningindustry.com/boosting-employee-performance-through-targeted-lms-training). Organizations using LMS data effectively foster a culture of continuous learning where: - Employees receive clear, actionable feedback. - Engagement and motivation increase. - Workforce adaptability improves in response to new roles or technologies [(eLearning Industry, Boosting Employee Performance, 2025)](https://elearningindustry.com/boosting-employee-performance-through-targeted-lms-training). ## CYPHER Learning: a leader in analytics-driven workforce development CYPHER Learning provides an AI-powered LMS platform designed to convert learning data into strategic talent development insights.

As distributed workforces become common, companies need effective ways to develop talent remotely. Online learning tools, especially advanced Learning Management Systems (LMS), enable skill development anywhere, anytime. These systems are revolutionizing training beyond traditional in-person models [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The digital learning revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## The role of online learning in remote skill development Remote teams face obstacles like geographical distance, time zone differences, and coordination challenges. Online learning platforms overcome these by offering flexible, structured, and engaging training solutions. Leaders like CYPHER Learning provide an AI-enhanced LMS to personalize learning and simplify management for businesses with remote teams. ### Benefits of LMS for remote teams - Personalized learning paths tailored to individual skills. - Real-time analytics to track progress. - Scalability for large or global workforces. - Blended, gamified, and mobile-compatible learning experiences [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The 13 best LMS software platforms, 2024)](/blog/business/the-13-best-lms-software-platforms-to-boost-your-training-and-development). ## Personalization and AI: customized learning experiences Standard training often misses the unique needs of remote employees. CYPHER Learning AI-driven LMS will soon recommend courses based on role, skills, and past performance. This personalization ensures relevance and higher engagement, allowing remote workers to focus on skills that drive business impact [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The digital learning revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## Increasing engagement with gamification and social learning Digital learning risks low engagement. Platforms like CYPHER Learning use gamification — leaderboards, points, badges — to motivate learners through competition. Social learning features, such as forums and peer discussions, foster community and interaction. This keeps remote employees connected and encourages active participation despite physical separation [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Mastering employee development, 2025)](/blog/business/mastering-employee-development-with-in-demand-employee-training-tools); [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The digital learning revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## Microlearning: delivering skills in manageable segments Remote workers often face distractions, making long courses ineffective. Microlearning breaks content into brief, focused lessons, including videos and quizzes. This format enhances retention and motivation by fitting learning into busy schedules and reducing cognitive overload [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The digital learning revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## Mobile-first approach: learning anytime, anywhere Remote teams benefit from accessing learning on mobile devices. The mobile-friendly CYPHER Learning LMS lets employees train from any location, on any device. This flexibility supports ongoing skill development amid changing work demands, benefiting both individuals and organizations [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Mastering employee development, 2025)](/blog/business/mastering-employee-development-with-in-demand-employee-training-tools). ## Real-time analytics and feedback: tracking progress effectively Organizations need to measure training impact. Real-time analytics reveal where remote employees excel or need help. Leaders can allocate resources strategically, ensuring training leads to measurable skill improvements and business results [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The digital learning revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## Building a digital learning strategy for remote teams Implementing successful online learning requires a clear strategy: - **Assess current gaps:** regularly evaluate training to align with business goals. - **Choose the right LMS:** opt for platforms offering personalization, analytics, and mobile support, such as CYPHER Learning. - **Create a learning culture:** leaders should praise training achievements and promote continuous development. - Collect feedback and improve: use learner input to refine programs continuously [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The digital learning revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## The impact of CYPHER Learning on remote team development Adopting the CYPHER Learning LMS leads to higher training completion rates, improved task efficiency, and strong business outcomes.

Taking the time to consider what you know at a moment in time lets you put things into perspective and see the gaps in knowledge, the places for improvement, and what steps you could take to perfect your acquisition level. Conscious reflection is a practice used in many domains where professionals analyze their work, abilities, and overall results. Teachers use [reflective practice](https://www.edutopia.org/article/making-time-reflective-practice) on themselves to help improve their skills and enhance their understanding of how they impact learners. Reflection as a process is extremely useful for learners. Going through stages of conscious reflection allows for deeper learning, as learners ponder upon their performance and learn from experiences. [John Dewey](https://www.open.edu/openlearn/education-development/learning-teach-becoming-reflective-practitioner/content-section-2.1), the American philosopher, said that People learn by reflecting on experiences, not by simply experiencing things. James Zull, the late professor of biology and biochemistry, takes reflection a step forward to the idea of [experience with emotion](https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED530593): emotion helps people make meaning of what they go through, and conscious reflection plays a fundamental role in transforming experience plus emotion into learning. Students need reflective practice as a norm in their learning process, and teachers have to guide them through the stages of self-discovery for deep learning and retention. Peter Pappas, a specialist in education with over 50 years of experience in the field, has created a taxonomy of reflection with questions for different stages of the learning experience: - **Creating** - What should I do next? - **Evaluating** - How well did I do? - **Analyzing** - Do I see any patterns in what I did? - **Applying** - where could I use this again? - **Understanding** - What was important it? - **Remembering** - What did I do? Building on these questions, teachers can help students reflect upon their learning and understand their strengths and weaknesses. When they self-assess what they know, they can improve their understanding. ## Digital tools for reflection to use in class Since school has been anchored more and more into the online environment, reflection can also be done with the assistance of digital tools. 1. ### Mentimeter [Mentimeter](https://www.mentimeter.com/) is great for setting expectations at the beginning of a class and then asking for reflection to see if those expectations were met at the end of the class. This is helpful for learners to direct their attention towards specific topics and for teachers to assess the success of their lessons and what changes or improvements they should make. 2. ### Padlet [Padlet](https://padlet.com/) is a virtual wall where students can post their work and reflect on it. Teachers can intervene in the self-assessment process and guide learners through deeper reflection moments. Also, as a collaborative learning experience, peers can react and comment on each other's reflections and get a deeper insight into others' thought processes. 3. ### Answer Garden [Answer Garden](https://answergarden.ch/) is a tool for quick reflection which uses words or expressions to create word walls for specific topics or purposes. It can be used at the beginning or end of the class to help students reflect on how they feel. For the lesson itself, Answer garden can be used as a collective reflective practice tool on the information received in class that provides a broader perspective on a given topic. 4. ### Microsoft or Google tools [OneNote](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onenote/digital-note-taking-app), [Google Docs](https://www.google.com/docs//), [Microsoft Forms](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/online-surveys-polls-quizzes), or [Google Forms](https://www.google.com/forms//) foster collaborative reflection. In joint documents, students can create learning diaries to include their thought process, reflect on it, and receive input from the teacher or peers. 5. ### Blogger Having teachers make notes on students' reflective processes can help learners understand what they know and what they don't. Having peers provide feedback to students' reflections helps them feel understood, and make meaningful comments. Reflecting can take the form of journaling, blogging, or podcasting, too. Students record their learning experience in written or audio format, which contributes to a clear understanding of their performance, expectations, and needs. [Blogger](https://www.blogger.com//) is a handy tool for journaling and blogging, making students more responsible for what they write and inevitably for their development process. For podcasting, students can use [Spotify for Podcasters](https://podcasters.spotify.com/) or [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/). Which then can be integrated on streaming platforms or a blog. Read more: [5 Digital tools for podcasting in the hybrid classroom](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/5-digital-tools-for-podcasting-in-the-hybrid-classroom/) ## To conclude By defining and communicating their thoughts to themselves or others, students realize if they fully understand a topic and pinpoint what needs improvement. Having someone, a teacher or peer, react to their reflections adds clarity and reassurance to the learning process. Students name what works and doesn't work for them and identify similar learning processes in peers, which gives them a feeling they are not the only ones struggling or needing more time or more information. Digital reflection tools open the door to students' inner learning process, benefiting both teachers and students into discovering what was and what needs to be done to reach the desired outcomes.

You probably walked away thinking, *“Whoa, that was amazing.”* After nearly 7 years at CYPHER, Alexia has helped shape how we show up to customers, how we prove value, and how we bring learning to life in real time. Now promoted to Global Director of Sales Engineering, we sat down with Alexia to ask her what drives her, what she’s building, and what keeps her inspired. ### Question You’ve been at CYPHER for nearly 7 years. What’s kept you here, and what’s changed the most since you started? ### Answer What’s kept me at CYPHER is that I’ve always felt like I’m building something meaningful, not just supporting a product and being part of the evolution in the industry. But it goes beyond that. I found a place where leadership is more than titles, where leaders here lead by example. They’ve coached me, empowered me, and encouraged me to grow into roles I never imagined when I started. I also remember coming in and feeling right away that this was a safe space, somewhere where I could share ideas, learn from others, and count on true collaboration and support. That kind of environment is rare to find, and it’s shaped not just how I work, but who I’ve become as a leader. What’s changed the most is how much we’ve matured as a company. When I started, we were still figuring out how to tell our story. Now, we’re clear on our value, our voice, and how to meet the needs of clients across the world. I’ve loved being part of that evolution and helping connect the technical “how” to the human “why.” ### Question You just stepped into the role of Global Director of Sales Engineering. What does that actually mean, day-to-day? ### Answer Stepping into this role means I now have the opportunity to lead the incredible Solutions Engineering team at a global scale, but especially, it means I get to help transfer our passion for the product and the vision behind it to prospective clients. It’s showing them how CYPHER can bring their vision to life, not just ours. Day-to-day, I work closely with my team to strategize how we present solutions in a way that truly resonates, figuring out the best approach to each opportunity, ensuring we’re tracking progress on deals and delivering an experience that’s thoughtful, responsive, and human. I also spend a lot of time responding to RFPs and RFIs, and making sure we’re gathering the right input from across the team to craft stories that not only meet requirements but inspire confidence. ### Question You’ve been described as someone who “sells without selling.” What’s your secret to delivering demos that actually connect? ### Answer I think the key is to be authentic and to share the passion for the product. My goal is to become a trusted advisor, someone the client feels they can be honest with, and someone who’s genuinely invested in understanding their challenges. For me, it’s listening, it's not just hearing to respond, but really listening. Asking questions to understand the real problem behind the request. Most pain points have more depth than what customers initially share.  The most powerful moments in a demo usually happen when the client feels seen, not sold to. That’s the difference. ### Question What’s one project or moment at CYPHER that you’re especially proud of—and why? ### Answer One of the things I’m most proud of is being able to say I’ve supported the entire customer journey, from selling and solutioning to training, implementation, and ongoing growth. It’s incredibly rewarding to see a client I’ve worked with become a champion for the platform, just as we’ve seen with [Cengage-Milady](/best-practices/milady), who shares how CYPHER has transformed their organization and empowered their people. I’ve also had moments where the shift is clear: where a conversation starts with “we’re not shopping, we’re just seeing what’s out there,” and ends with “let’s move forward.” That was the case with U-Haul, and it reminded me that what we do isn’t pushing software. It’s helping someone unlock a vision. Selling an LMS is never just the platform. Behind every decision is an employee who wants to grow, a learning leader who wants to inspire, and a company that’s trying to adapt and thrive. Being part of that journey is something I’ll never take for granted. ### Question Outside of work, what’s something people might not know you that shapes how you lead or work? ### Answer Something people might not know me is that before working in tech, I had a genuine passion for teaching, especially working with students whom others found “challenging,” or teaching subjects like math that many students avoided. I loved making the hard stuff feel possible and helping people see they could succeed even when they thought they couldn’t. That experience still shapes how I lead. I care deeply meeting people where they are, simplifying complexity, and helping others grow with confidence and support. I bring that same energy to my team and to our clients every day. On a personal level, I want to be a role model for my son and my former students. I want them to see that it’s possible to love what you do, to pursue work that matters, and to build a career on purpose and passion. Everything can be reached with the right mindset. From rethinking proof-of-concept experiences to mentoring new team members, Alexia’s work continues to raise the bar both internally and externally. She leads with clarity, heart, and the kind of calm confidence that turns complex into simple. We're so lucky to have her guiding our global team, and even luckier to call her one of our own.

A globally recognized nonpartisan organization based in Simi Valley, CA, with a leading policy institute in Washington, DC, delivers: impactful public affairs programming, policy convenings and projects of national and international significance, and distinctive educational initiatives shaping the perspectives of middle, high school, and college students. “The Education Department is at the core of what we do and how we introduce civics, history, and critical thinking to the next generations of leaders.” Megan Gately, Director of Education Programs INDUSTRY Nonprofit COMPANY SIZE Medium enterprise HEADQUARTERS Simi Valley, CA SERVICES Historical education and leadership programs Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Needed an interactive, easy-to-use platform to engage diverse learners - Required scalability and accessibility to support global reach - Lacked dynamic tools to connect digital audiences with historical content Millions of people will never have the chance to visit the **Ronald Reagan Presidential Library** in person, making its **digital learning platform** more essential than ever. Our previous LMS was outdated, with limited engagement tools, and an uninspiring design that failed to capture the attention of modern learners. Despite this commitment to inclusive learning, the existing platform lacked the flexibility, adaptability, and diverse resources needed to create immersive educational experiences. **The Reagan Library needed a partner, not just a platform**, to help reimagine how they bring history to life for a global audience. “We pride ourselves on reaching all types of learners, from visual/hearing impaired students to non-traditional school structured learning. Our demographic is anyone who wants to learn. We are a presidential library for the people.” Megan Gately, Director of Education Programs ## The solution - Overhauled digital content with engaging multimedia - Connected their physical library with a global digital audience - Introduced an oratory competition to drive engagement CYPHER transformed the Reagan Library’s approach to digital education, introducing an interactive learning experience that goes far beyond static lessons. The platform’s embedded videos, clickable lessons, quizzes, games, and multimedia activities allowed the team to reimagine how historical content is taught and experienced. For the first time, they created seamless connections between the physical library and digital learners, such as the Berlin Wall exhibit, which now reaches audiences around the world. CYPHER enabled the launch of the **Reagan Oratory Competition**, a groundbreaking initiative that builds public speaking skills and civic engagement by allowing students to bring presidential speeches back to life. With the CYPHER video submission and evaluation capabilities, the competition received **over 550 student-generated videos reciting one of Ronald Reagan’s radio addresses**. The best entries advanced to an in-person competition in Washington, D.C., with students earning a free trip to the nation’s capital — an opportunity made possible through the ease of submission and evaluation in CYPHER. “When we committed to CYPHER, we found an abundance of tools and team members, willing to listen, innovate, and experiment with engaging strategies critical to our LMS success.” Megan Gately, Director of Education Programs ## The results - 550% increase in new users per month - Integrated content with Department of Defense Educational Activities partners - Expanded reach new international audiences Since launching with CYPHER, the Reagan Library has seen an explosion in user growth. Between April and December, **2,600 new learners enrolled**, averaging **325 new users per month**—a staggering contrast to the previous LMS, which struggled to attract even 50 users in its best month. The largest impact has been **accessibility for national and international communities**. With internet access as the only requirement, CYPHER has allowed the Reagan Library to integrate directly into classrooms worldwide, including the Department of Defense Educational Activities (DoDEA) network, which serves: - 161 schools across 11 foreign countries, 7 U.S. states, and 2 territories - 65,000+ students across 10 time zones Through CYPHER, the Reagan Library has also expanded into Nigeria, providing education training programs on civil discourse to cohorts of educators. The platform’s **stability**, **ease of use**, and **engaging experience** have made it a powerful tool for international learning expansion, with **more global partnerships on the horizon**. “After years of research and a few false starts, we finally found an exceptional LMS partner. CYPHER isn’t just a platform — it’s a creative, forward-thinking partner that helps us connect with people who matter deeply to us, driving them toward a brighter, more connected future.” Megan Gately, Director of Education Programs ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

They represent the very essence of your brand, and they need the ability to walk and talk like they’re internal members of your organization. Whether they manufacture, support or deliver your products, their role is indispensable, especially when it comes to the sales process. Given their critical role in a successful sales strategy, it's vital to equip your partners with the knowledge they need to excel. Training is a valued support system that vendors can offer, and at CYPHER, we recognize its significance. Outsourcing content creation is expensive. Not to mention you then have to reintegrate that content to your existing LMS. But creating content in-house is expensive, too.

Lasting and engaging training programs have a modern partner training LMS at the core. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allows you to get partner training courses up and running faster with less people and money One-size-fits-all training materials, lacking customization Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes to give you full confidence in your partners’ abilities to execute PDF-based training materials with limited interaction Leveled-up gamification beyond badges keeps partners engaged and competency-based learning makes it easier to understand which areas your partners need to improve in for true mastery Slow feedback loops with delayed assessments and progress tracking 55 pre-built reports and custom options allow you to see your partners’ learning progress fast! Tedious manual processes for certification and accreditation Automated certification processes, saving time and reducing administrative burdens Takes weeks or months to create a new and comprehensive training program Streamlines the content development and delivery process, making it possible to create individualized partner trainings at scale Uses no AI or antiquated AI to create courses Uses multiple types of the latest AI technology and lets you control which content it creates partner training courses from, giving you the ability to create personalized trainings at scale Questionable content sources and credibility Ensures credible content and guards against AI hallucination ## CYPHER solves your toughest online partner training challenges Building an effective partner training program is no small feat: - Partners and vendors may have different end goals, making it challenging for partners to meet their targets without proper product and process training. - Without access to up-to-date information, partners may use outdated materials to sell or promote products, leading to misinformation. - In-person training logistics can be complex and costly, making it difficult to effectively train partners located in different regions or countries. ## With the CYPHER platform, those challenges disappear Align business objectives to partner training Personalized skills-based training on the CYPHER platform ensures each partner receives training tailored to their unique needs, directly aligning with their specific business goals and objectives.

Outdated training manuals and dull Zoom sessions have been swapped for more relevant industry content, immersive simulations, and bite-sized lessons that actually stick.  Businesses are tapping into smarter, more engaging tools that make learning feel less like a chore and more like an advantage. In this article, we’re exploring seven game-changing learning and development options that are redefining workplace training.  ## Understanding learning and development (L&D) essentials To understand why learning and development tools matter, we have to look beyond basic training. Modern solutions aren’t just teaching new skills for the sake of doing so—they’re reshaping how companies grow and support their teams. If you’ve ever wanted to turn learning into a strategic advantage, there’s never been a better opportunity. A strong L&D strategy also focuses well beyond the first days of onboarding. Instead, a culture-changing learning process ensures industry regulations, tracks individual learner progress, and identifies skill gaps before they turn into issues that hold employees back from growth and advancement. ⭐ Big picture: With the right tools, companies can create a culture where learning is ongoing, not just a one-time event. ## Defining L&D: training vs. development Learning and development might sound similar, but they’re actually pretty different. Training is all the here and now—teaching employees the skills they need to do their jobs today. Think structured programs that tackle immediate needs. This also includes compliance training, which equips employees with required or mandated skills. Development focuses on the long game. It’s helping employees grow beyond their current roles, building skills for the future. More and more companies are shifting from rigid role-based training to flexible, skills-based learning—because in today’s fast-changing world, adaptability is everything. Companies that focus on both training for today and development for tomorrow set their teams up for success, now and down the road. ## 7 types of learning and development tools Learning and development tools are constantly evolving, giving companies more ways to train and support their teams. But with so many options, choosing the right one can be tricky. Let’s break down the key types of L&D tools that are transforming workplace learning. ### 1. Learning management systems (LMS) Learning management systems form the backbone of many organizational learning strategies. These comprehensive learning and development systems offer a centralized platform for managing, delivering, and tracking training content. [Enterprise LMS platforms](/blog/business/navigating-the-best-enterprise-lms-platforms-for-optimal-learning) have come a long way from their early days, now offering features like course authoring, detailed reporting, and seamless integration with other business tools. What makes LMS solutions particularly valuable is their versatility. They can handle various training needs, from onboarding new employees to ongoing professional development.  The [LMS market has an estimated value of $20 billion](https://www.devlinpeck.com/content/elearning-market-size). And it’s expected to grow steadily through 2030, highlighting the continued importance of these platforms in the L&D ecosystem. ### 2. Learning experience platforms (LXP) LXPs represent the next evolution in learning technology. These platforms focus on providing personalized and engaging learning experiences by leveraging AI to recommend content based on user preferences and learning history. As an L&D professional, I've seen firsthand how LXPs can transform the learning journey, making it more intuitive and tailored to individual needs. One of the key features of LXPs is their emphasis on social and collaborative learning. By incorporating features that enable peer interactions and knowledge sharing, these platforms create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment. This aligns perfectly with the growing trend of social learning in the workplace. ### Did you know? CYPHER is the best of both worlds CYPHER is the only complete learning platform that combines the best features of [both LMS and LXP](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/lms-vs-lxp#:~:text=As%20an%20LMS%2C%20CYPHER%20delivers,than%20traditional%20or%20manual%20options.) into one powerful experience. As an LMS, CYPHER delivers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, automations to eliminate manual course management steps, enjoyable learning experiences, and workflow integrations. From the perspective of an LXP, CYPHER delivers enjoyable learning content in far less time than traditional or manual options. The platform is highly customizable, user-centric, gamified, and built around communication and personalization. ### 3. Online course providers and platforms The rise of online course providers has revolutionized access to learning content. These platforms offer a vast library of ready-made courses covering a wide range of topics, making them ideal for upskilling and reskilling employees.  The flexibility and diversity of content make these learning tools particularly valuable for organizations seeking to provide varied learning options without extensive in-house content creation.  For example, something like LinkedIn Learning is a simple, straightforward, and low barrier to entry approach for employee training. The growth in this sector is staggering. The Massive Online Course (MOOC) market is [expected to grow to $25.33 billion by orate learning strategies. ### 4. Course authoring and content creation tools For organizations looking to create custom training materials, course authoring tools are invaluable. These learning and development apps enable the creation of tailored content, often including interactive elements and multimedia. Many of these tools support SCORM and other e-learning standards, ensuring compatibility with various LMS platforms. In my experience, the trend towards microlearning and bite-sized content delivery is particularly relevant here. Course authoring tools that facilitate the creation of short, focused learning modules are becoming increasingly popular, catering to modern learners' preferences for concise, easily digestible content. ### 5. Knowledge sharing and collaboration tools Have you ever had a colleague spend half their day searching for an answer that should be easy to find? A knowledge-sharing tool could solve the problem. These platforms make information more accessible in digital corporate environments, helping teams collaborate seamlessly and learn from each other. Take [Confluence](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence), for instance. It’s a tool that lets teams create shared documents, store important resources, and collaborate in real time. With features like discussion forums and document sharing, it turns scattered knowledge into a centralized hub, making learning a natural part of daily work. When employees can easily find and contribute information, they spend less time searching and more time growing. It should be noted, however, that if you’re looking for a comprehensive training program, these tools might miss the mark. Best for brainstorming, you’ll want something more robust for full-scale learning, training, and development.  ### 6. Video training software Video training software is changing the game, from boring slide-decks to learning that’s imaginative and powerful. Video gives L&D teams the power to create engaging, high-quality training content that actually sticks. With easy production, seamless sharing, and built-in tracking, these tools make learning more dynamic and interactive. But it’s not just delivering information—it’s capturing attention Key features of video training software include: - **Screen recording and video editing**: These capabilities allow trainers to capture on-screen activities and edit videos to include annotations, highlights, and other instructional elements. - **Interactive elements**: Adding quizzes, assessments, and interactive components to videos enhances engagement and helps reinforce learning. - **Analytics and tracking**: Detailed analytics provide insights into employee engagement and learning progression, enabling organizations to measure the effectiveness of their training programs. - **Integration between LMS and people management**: Seamless integration with learning management systems and other HR tools ensures that video training content is easily accessible and trackable within the broader L&D ecosystem. - **Mobile accessibility**: With mobile-friendly features, employees can access training videos on-the-go, making learning more flexible and convenient. Examples of popular video training software include [Loom](https://www.loom.com/), [Camtasia](https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/), and [GoTo Webinar](https://www.goto.com/webinar). These tools offer robust features that support the creation of engaging and interactive training content, making them invaluable assets in any comprehensive learning and development strategy. ### 7. Assessment and validation tools Assessment tools are essential for evaluating learner progress, identifying skill gaps, and measuring the impact of training programs. As the training world becomes increasingly data-driven, these tools provide valuable insights that can inform future training interventions and support continuous improvement efforts. If you’re overseeing student results, this means that you check the assessment results and notice a chunk of employees are struggling with a key lesson. Instead of guessing what went wrong, you use the data to adjust the training—maybe adding a quick refresher video or an interactive quiz—ensuring everyone stays on track and passes with confidence. ## What happens when you win with L&D tools? Imagine starting a new job where training feels like an afterthought—scattered resources, outdated modules, and no clear path to grow. Frustrating, right?  Now picture the opposite: a company where learning is built into everyday work, where employees have the tools to grow their skills and advance their careers. That’s the power of a strong L&D strategy—it’s not just a perk, it’s what sets thriving companies apart. ⭐ Big picture: L&D tools make learning easier, more engaging, and way more effective. Another major perk? Better employee engagement and retention. When people have access to personalized learning paths and opportunities to grow, they’re more invested. It’s simple: when employees feel like they’re progressing, they’re more likely to stick around. L&D also boosts productivity. Skilled, confident employees work more efficiently and take on challenges with ease. No wonder the eLearning industry has skyrocketed—[growing by 900% since 2000](https://luisazhou.com/blog/elearning-statistics/)—as more businesses recognize its value. But the biggest shift? Companies that embrace L&D aren’t just training employees—they’re building a culture of continuous learning. With the right tools, knowledge-sharing becomes second nature, keeping teams innovative, adaptable, and ready for whatever comes next. ## AI-powered learning is on the move Fueled by generative AI technologies, personalization is becoming an essential piece in this new world of industry learning. More teams are leveraging artificial intelligence to tailor learning experiences to individual needs, preferences, skill gaps, and compliance standards. This comprehensive LMS approach ensures that employees receive targeted training that’s relevant to their roles and career aspirations, maximizing engagement and knowledge retention. “Personalized learning and cultural awareness programs unify a global workforce. During the Olympic Games, we launched “CYPHER Olympics,” educating employees our company via virtual games. Our platform allowed all employees to participate—regardless of language or time zone—bolstering knowledge, collaboration and engagement. It ranked as a top three initiative on our eNPS survey.” [John Kannapell](https://councils.forbes.com/u/f45b5902-7145-424c-921a-d3df6871bb3a) (President and COO), featured in [Forbes Council](https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbeshumanresourcescouncil/2025/02/14/20-strategies-to-help-hr-leaders-foster-a-unified-culture-across-diverse-workforces/) With a feature like [AI Crosscheck from CYPHER](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/cypher-learning-introduces-ai-crosscheck-lms-accuracy-tool), you’ll also improve accuracy instantaneously. Crosscheck will quickly flag for inaccuracies, recommend new content, and make it easy to edit and swap for better learner experiences. ### The future of hybrid, blended, or collaborative models As the workplace evolves, so do the ways we approach training with tools, software, and platforms.  Hybrid and blended learning models are becoming increasingly popular, combining the convenience of virtual learning with the benefits of in-person interaction. Modern L&D platforms make it easier to switch between online and offline training, ensuring employees can learn in a way that fits their schedules and work environments. Collaboration is also playing a bigger role in learning and development. Many training tools now include social learning features, like discussion forums and user-generated content, to encourage employees to learn from each other. By making knowledge-sharing a natural part of the workday, organizations can create a more engaging, flexible, and effective learning experience. ## Comprehensive learning management system fuels your strategy A well-planned learning and development strategy is essential for organizations to achieve their business goals and improve employee performance. A successful L&D strategy should align with the organization’s overall business objectives and be tailored to the needs of its employees. A well-planned L&D strategy is important for several reasons: - **Identifying skills gaps**: It helps to identify the skills and knowledge gaps of employees and address them through targeted training programs. - **Developing a competitive advantage**: It enables organizations to develop a competitive advantage by investing in the growth and development of their employees. - **Improving employee engagement and retention**: It improves employee engagement and retention by providing opportunities for growth and development. - **Enhancing organizational performance**: It enhances the overall performance of the organization by improving the skills and knowledge of its employees. ### How do L&D tools support the strategy? L&D tools enable organizations to create, deliver, and track training programs, as well as analyze their effectiveness. As we’ve covered here, some examples of L&D tools include: - Learning management systems (LMS) - Learning experience platforms (LXP) - Online course providers - Content management tools - Video training software To recap, these tools can help organizations to: - **Create and deliver engaging content**: engaging, interactive training keeps employees motivated and helps them retain information, making learning more effective and enjoyable. - **Track and analyze learning**: monitoring employee progress helps identify strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring that training stays relevant and impactful. - **Identify skills gaps**: pinpointing skills gaps allows you to create targeted training programs, addressing weaknesses and making the process more efficient. - **Improve engagement and retention**: engaging training shows employees you value their growth, leading to higher job satisfaction and lower turnover. - **Enhance organizational performance**: well-trained employees are more productive and confident, boosting overall organizational performance through increased efficiency and innovation. By leveraging the right mix of learning and development tools, organizations can create a robust and effective L&D strategy that drives employee growth and organizational success. ## Pick your future-proof learning and development tools The tools you choose today need to keep up with tomorrow’s demands, evolving and keeping pace with industry needs. When evaluating options, look for platforms that regularly update their features, integrate emerging tech like AI and VR, and focus on user-friendly experiences. A tool that grows with your business is an investment in long-term success. To create a culture of continuous learning, teams need to choose the tools and features that help employees feel supported, engaged, and ready to tackle big challenges. The most effective organizations see training as a core part of their roadmap. Workplace learning is always evolving, and so should your approach.

Non-compliance costs businesses $1.6 million per year on average, according to [CYPHER’s 2024 compliance report](/resources/research/business/the-true-cost-of-rule-breakers-in-workplace-compliance).  Knowing how to ensure compliance in the workplace is also crucial for employee physical and psychological safety, fighting discrimination, and protecting the company from legal issues. However, compliance training is far from being anyone's favorite. The adjectives usually associated with it are: boring, dull, and outdated. Managers push for it because they have to, and employees begrudgingly comply, but there's generally no excitement on either side. Trainers are also not particularly fond of these sessions. While they fully understand why it matters, it's still daunting to have a room full of apprehensive learners. With compliance being so important, it's time to up your instructional design game and make these modules engaging, short, and easy to understand. Long and tedious classroom presentations need to be replaced with more concise and to-the-point online courses that can keep learners’ attention. ## What are the best practices for ensuring compliance in the workplace? Each industry has its demands when it comes to workplace compliance. For example, there’s a big difference between safety measures in an office and on a construction site. Keeping to the specifics of your company, here are some of the best practices when it comes to compliance: - **Document all your processes and procedures.** The key to compliance in the workplace is to be clear on what this means. Employees should find the information easily and have no trouble understanding and applying it. - **Reinforce compliance with training.** Repetition is paramount when it comes to building the behaviors you desire. Ensure your employees benefit from short, engaging modules that remind them of all the rules and regulations they need to follow. - **Use technology to make compliance easier.**There are many tools designed specifically for your company’s compliance needs. Find the one that works best for you and promote it accordingly to get everyone on board with using it. - **Focus on what employees should do, not on what they shouldn’t.**While negative scenarios are generally remembered more than positive ones, the point of compliance is to teach your employees how they should act in various situations.

So, you must find creative ways to ensure compliance in the workplace. The first step is to create online training courses that are engaging and to the point. A [generative learning platform](/platform) will be your strongest ally. Here are the steps for building learning content that will make compliance training more enjoyable and effective for learners, instructors, and managers alike: ### 1. Outline the compliance courses The process is similar to any other course. You must figure out what the specific needs are. In the case of compliance, you'll need to look into the legislation governing the industry you are designing for. Many governing bodies have a list of criteria or competencies that learners must know to be compliant. Once you have a complete list of topics, see how many modules you'll have to build. Avoid information overload at all costs. It's better to opt for smaller modules than to cram a lot in fewer sessions. Also, employees must retain and demonstrate what they have learned. ### 2. Create the compliance courses The generative learning platform can do a lot of the heavy lifting. With CYPHER Learning, you can upload competencies from the governing body’s website and watch as CYPHER Agent generates entire competency-mapped courses from them in just minutes. This saves tremendous time and money and decreases administrative drudgery. Competency-mapped material also makes it easy to track learner progress, understand which skills and competencies learners struggle with, and ensure mastery. CYPHER Agent will even pull relevant videos and media from the internet to enhance learner comprehension and engagement, which you can tweak with the media picker, allowing you to sift through a variety of related media options. Once CYPHER Agent generates the course, you can easily fine-tune the modules, arrange them however you want, and create content pages. The generative learning platform’s built-in HTML editor allows for all kinds of media, from engaging images to video and audio content. You have the opportunity to contradict the popular belief that compliance is boring by building rich and engaging content. ### 3. Personalize the courses required for compliance Learning needs to be personalized, and compliance is no exception. The various functions in your company follow different regulations. The people working in the offices do not need to go through the rules for operating heavy machinery, while the employees having to operate it usually do not have to bother with the confidentiality of client information since they do not have access to it. Trying to create personalized courses for a host of employees is a daunting challenge. However, with a generative learning platform that uses mastery learning and learning paths, you can easily individualize courses without draining time and resources. For example, say all employees must enroll in the learning path “compliance training.” CYPHER enables you to hide and reveal specific modules and content depending on the learner’s job title. So, maybe the accountant and machine operator both complete the module “Anti-discrimination and diversity training,” but upon completion, the module “Safe machine operation” is revealed for the machine operator, and “Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption” is revealed for the accountant. ### 4. Establish the completion rules Skipping various sections can be catastrophic. Learners could unintentionally ignore critical safety rules in a high-risk environment. It could also result in confusion over responsibilities, loss of a competitive edge, or even legal repercussions. With CYPHER, you can designate sections as "required for course completion" to ensure learners cover all content. Lock modules until prerequisites are met, revealing them dynamically. Easily see competency mastery progress to ensure learners are on track. Plus, you can set gamification rules for completion – such as awarding badges or points that will allow learners to climb the leaderboard. Gamification is highly engaging and effective in keeping learners focused on the content. ### 5. Create quizzes for self-assessment When it comes to compliance, there is little room for trial and error when discussing safety or legal matters. The safest way to test learners’ knowledge is through assessments that learners can take several times until they feel confident that they understand and remember all the relevant information from the course. CYPHER offers 16 different types of assessments – from quizzes to surveys, proctored assessments, and more – to ensure learners have the right tools to test their knowledge. Ensure quizzes cover all of the relevant information so learners test themselves on the right concepts. After tagging the content and assignments with competencies, you can see an overview of how well your course covers the competencies. This is a great way to identify weak spots in the course content and help to ensure each competency is taught and assessed during the training.

Configure compliance actions Rules and regulations change, so your compliance courses need updates as well. This means that learners need to retake compliance training regularly. It’s important to keep track of everyone's activity so your company does not face possible legal repercussions for not following the rules. Because CYPHER is a cloud-based system, any updates you make to course material will be automatically reflected across learners’ portals, ensuring they see the most up-to-date content at all times. CYPHER enables you to set the duration of compliance, automatically re-enroll learners in courses, or set re-enrollment reminders a few days/weeks before their compliance expires. For example, a particular course can expire after six months and employees get a notification 30 days in advance, so they’ll have plenty of time to prepare for training. ### 7. Set reminders for learners People will react better to any type of training if they have time to prepare. If they have to add online courses to an already busy schedule, employees are more likely to be unengaged. However, CYPHER helps prepare learners by displaying the compliance courses on the learner dashboard and sending them reminders in advance. By displaying the courses and important due dates on the dashboard, they always know what to do to be compliant. Providing them with a deadline allows users to choose when they go through the modules, and this sense of autonomy is great for engagement. You can also send inactivity reminders. If a learner is inactive in a compliance course for more than five days, but it is not yet completed, they may have forgotten it. Sending these reminders can help both the learner and the company stay on track to be in compliance. ### 8. Generate compliance reports Compliance reports are incredibly useful, both for internal and external audits. CYPHER provides over 60 built-in reports, including the Course Compliance report, which lists the courses and the compliance of the users enrolled in them. You can run custom reports if you need more advanced data. For example, generate a custom report if you want to see which compliance courses offer certificates of completion or the learners from a specific department who have completed a compliance course. Through regular generation and analysis of compliance reports, you can identify instances of non-compliance, whether intentional or unintentional.  Enhance visibility by incorporating report widgets that display custom charts directly on the dashboard. Having all the information at your fingertips will make it much easier to ensure workplace compliance, make informed decisions, evaluate the effectiveness of compliance training, and refine strategies.

Hybrid learning, which combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning, offers a flexible and inclusive approach to education, meeting the diverse needs of students in the digital age. Here’s an updated look at how edtech is driving this transformation. ## The foundation of hybrid learning **Updated insight:** The essence of hybrid learning lies in its ability to adapt to the changing educational needs, providing students with personalized learning experiences. Edtech is the cornerstone of this model, enabling seamless integration of online and in-person elements to create a cohesive learning journey. ## Key edtech tools for the hybrid classroom **Contemporary tools:** Beyond basic LMS and video conferencing software, the use of AI-powered platforms for personalized learning paths, AR and VR for immersive learning experiences, and collaborative online workspaces has become increasingly common. These tools not only enhance engagement but also cater to the diverse learning styles and paces of students. ## Enhancing interaction and engagement **Innovative strategies:** Edtech now focuses on fostering a sense of community and collaboration in the hybrid classroom. Tools that facilitate real-time interaction, peer feedback, and group projects are essential. Gamification and interactive polls/quizzes add an element of fun and competition, keeping students motivated and engaged. ## Data-driven insights for personalized learning **Advanced analytics:** The ability to collect and analyze data on student performance and engagement is one of the most powerful features of modern edtech tools. Educators can leverage these insights to tailor instruction, provide targeted support, and ultimately improve learning outcomes for all students. ## Overcoming barriers to access **Equity and accessibility:** Ensuring all students have equal access to technology and the internet remains a challenge. Edtech solutions now often include offline capabilities, mobile-friendly formats, and adaptive learning materials accessible to students with disabilities, aiming to bridge the digital divide and promote inclusivity. ## Preparing educators for success **Professional development:** The effectiveness of edtech in the hybrid classroom is contingent upon educators' ability to integrate these tools into their teaching practices. Ongoing professional development, peer mentoring, and access to edtech communities of practice are essential for empowering teachers to make the most of technology in their classrooms. ## Looking ahead: The role of edtech in education’s future The future of education will undoubtedly rely on the strategic integration of edtech to support hybrid learning models. As technology continues to advance, educators and institutions must remain agile, exploring new tools and approaches to enhance teaching and learning. The focus will increasingly be on creating learning experiences that are not only effective and engaging but also equitable and accessible to all students. ## Edtech as the catalyst for hybrid learning Edtech’s role in the hybrid classroom has transformed from merely supplemental to absolutely critical. By leveraging the latest technologies, educators can create dynamic learning environments that prepare students for the complexities of the modern world. As we navigate the future of education, the integration of edtech in hybrid learning models will continue to be pivotal in achieving educational goals, ensuring that learning is a continuous, engaging, and inclusive process.

When you are an entrepreneur seeking to sell your online course, getting (good) reviews is crucial in attracting potential customers. Here are six ideas how to get them. 1. ### Social media posts Using social media is the easiest and most convenient way to get customer testimonials. These give a very familiar sense of authenticity and can be either on your course’s page, on your personal page or as screenshots on the online page you have for the course. 2. ### Peer reviews You probably know people who activate in fields adjacent to learning design or the subject of your material. Asking them to give you reviews will certainly increase both your visibility and your credibility. Being associated with you and your course will work just as well for them too. 3. ### Blog posts your course While most reviews are rather short and to the point, some potential customers may feel the need for a more elaborate description. Blogs are very popular and it is the general opinion that if somebody took the time to write extensively something than it must be worth the while. 4. ### “Celebrity” testimonials A well-known authority on your subject, if featured on the landing page giving a flattering review to your course, can go a long way in attracting the right crowds. Finding such celebrities and establishing rapport takes time and it can be tricky to reach them, but not impossible. 5. ### Press reviews Having qualified journalists write your course will prove very persuasive since there still is the common belief that nothing makes the news unless it is important. Again, the generous space will provide a good opportunity to describe and discuss your course at length. 6. ### Video testimonials Videos have a tremendous impact and truly stand out; they are inspirational, authentic and manage to make an impression. People want to be certain that they are not being ripped off so seeing somebody who already paid for the product and is happy it helps a great deal.

January 29, 2024 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/author/cypher) 2 minutes read As the educational landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the debate between campus-based and online learning has taken on new dimensions. With advancements in technology, shifts in societal norms, and the recent global push towards digital transformation, the future of education is increasingly located within a blended model that leverages the strengths of both modalities. This updated blog explores the current state and future prospects of campus versus online education, highlighting the emerging trends and considerations shaping the educational landscape. ## The future of education: Navigating the convergence of campus and online learning In recent years, the dichotomy between campus-based and online education has become less pronounced, with the future of education pointing towards a harmonious integration of the two. This shift is driven by technological innovation, changing learner expectations, and the necessity for greater accessibility and flexibility in education. Here’s a closer look at how the future of education is being redefined by the blend of campus and online learning environments. ### Technological advancements bridging the gap The rapid advancement of educational technology has been a key factor in blurring the lines between campus and online learning. Cutting-edge tools and platforms have enabled online education to replicate, and in some cases enhance, the interactive and collaborative aspects of the traditional classroom experience. Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are providing immersive and personalized learning experiences that rival face-to-face instruction. ### Changing learner expectations and needs Today's learners are seeking education solutions that are not only flexible and accessible but also tailored to their individual learning styles and life circumstances. The demand for lifelong learning and upskilling, coupled with the diverse needs of a global student population, is driving the adoption of educational models that combine the best aspects of both campus and online learning. This hybrid approach allows learners to enjoy the social interaction and networking opportunities of campus life while benefiting from the convenience and customization of online education. ### The role of accessibility and flexibility The push towards greater educational equity has highlighted the importance of online learning in making education more accessible to individuals worldwide. Online education has the potential to reach learners who are unable to attend campus due to geographical, financial, or personal constraints. However, the future of education lies in creating flexible learning pathways that allow students to move seamlessly between online and campus-based experiences, depending on their needs and goals at different stages of their learning journey. ### The emergence of hybrid learning models Hybrid (or blended) learning models, which combine online digital media with traditional classroom methods, are becoming increasingly prevalent. These models offer the structure and community of on-campus education alongside the flexibility and innovation of online learning. Institutions are experimenting with hybrid formats, such as offering online courses with periodic on-campus residencies or integrating online resources into traditional courses to enhance learning outcomes. ### Preparing for a diverse educational future As we look to the future, educational institutions will need to continue adapting their offerings to meet the evolving expectations of learners and the demands of the global job market. This includes investing in technology infrastructure, developing robust online and hybrid programs, and fostering a culture of innovation and flexibility within the educational community. ## A unified vision for the future of education The debate between campus versus online education is giving way to a more integrated perspective, where the future of education is located in the synergy of both approaches. By embracing the strengths of campus-based and online learning, the educational landscape can provide more dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning experiences for all. As technology and society continue to evolve, so too will the ways in which we teach and learn, heralding a future where education is more accessible, flexible, and aligned with the needs of learners around the world. Reflecting on the latest trends and projections, this updated blog underscores the transformative potential of blending campus-based and online learning. The future of education is not an either/or scenario but a comprehensive ecosystem that leverages the advantages of both to meet the diverse needs of learners in the 21st century.

Meaning, cross-skilling and upskilling within the financial sector is more important than ever. But finding the time and resources to effectively train employees between finding top talent, keeping employees motivated, and more is no easy task.Are you struggling to… Develop and deliver effective and personalized training fast Continually create and adapt courses to match the latest compliance laws and regulations Juggle a complicated tech stack that overpromises, underdelivers, and drains resources Quickly gather meaningful learning metrics and integrate them into existing HR systems Easily and securely manage training materials for finance professionals in one place ## Invest in your greatest asset – your employees Failing to prioritize skills development can actually increase costs. Over 6 in 10 (65%) of financial firms saw a reduced need to hire externally because of investing in future skills for their business, according to the [Financial Services Skills Commission (FSSC)](https://wp.financialservicesskills.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FSSC-Future-Skills-Interactive-V13.pdf). However, identifying which skills your employees need and implementing relevant training programs is not only time consuming, but it’s also expensive. That is, using traditional tools. CYPHER’s competency-based approach makes it easy to deliver personalized training to employees. Track what employees know and let CYPHER automatically recommend courses based on their knowledge. ## Take a tour of CYPHER Agent ## Award-winning platform for training CYPHER has received multiple awards for our innovative learning technology, including Forbes Advisor’s “**Best Overall Employee Training Software**” and “**Best LMS**."

Use the admin menu to easily navigate to different tools and areas on the platform. All options are available via a convenient pop-out menu, with full online help for each feature. Accounts There is a wide range of account types: super admin, administrator, partial administrator, instructor, learner, monitor, teaching assistant, mentor, and manager. You can create accounts using a form, bulk import, self-enrollment, email invitations, LDAP synchronization, or API. Set up user accounts . Networking sites Connect multiple portals into a network and easily administer them using a single admin account. This is a great way to boost collaboration and share resources at a network level. Organizations Create organizations that represent departments in a company or school. Each user can be associated with an organization, which allows you to filter the content and options accessible for each group. Organizations demo Portal Each organization gets its own portal. The administrator is responsible for its customization, including its URL, color scheme, terminology, portal slides and portal pages. Each organization can have its own portal, set of users, and its own course catalog. You can hide organizations from each other and administer all of them with a single account. Visitor portal demo Dashboards per organization Once the super admin enables this feature, organization administrators can adjust the layout, messaging, and widgets on their dashboard to reflect their unique terminology, workflows, and branding. With custom dashboards, users enjoy a more focused experience, seeing only the information most relevant to them. Organizations demo Setting policies Configure a wide range of site-wide policies and set policies for each account type. Define which features are enabled and what information different users can access. Create policy documents that can be used as or privacy policies that users must accept before using the platform. You can configure  whether picture moderation is required and more. Custom roles Enhance security and functionality by creating new roles with fully customizable permission rules, tailored to specific organizational needs. By allowing variations of built-in roles, combined with the custom permissions grid, you can now ensure users only access the necessary features for their roles, improving security, reducing unauthorized actions, and boosting operational efficiency.

Yet there are instances when problems can’t be **fixed with training**, where there are existing modules that can very well do the job or when something altogether new needs to be created. In order to positively identify the most appropriate course of action, a **Training Needs Analysis** (TNA) has to be conducted. 1. ### Things to do before conducting a TNA - **Get job performance information**Identify the required performance levels and the actual performance levels. - **Conduct a performance analysis**Identify performance gaps and most importantly what is causing them. - **Conduct a cost-benefit analysis**Quantify the value of improved performance and give an estimate of ROI. - **Communicate the decision**Make recommendations for a training proposal or an alternative solution. 2. ### Doing a TNA for existing training content - **Make a comprehensive inventory**Even if it’s clear that more recent programs are still very useful, they should be the subject of scrutiny just as all the others. - **Determine what still has value and what needs to go**Answer questions like "What was the original need that the module was designed for?" or "Why is it still being offered?" - **Decide what stays and what goes**Any recommendation should be done with the consensus of responsible managers and a clear proposal where the resources will be reallocated. - **Adapt and transform**The instructional material and media, the content, the marketing strategy or the assessments can be refreshed and reused in future training programs. 3. ### Doing a TNA for future training content - **Get the necessary information**Take a look at current trends and recent innovations within the industry, online or not. Check the company’s annual reports, the declared business plans and brand strategy. Dig for facts what the competition is planning. - **Get the relevant opinions**Hear what the main stakeholders have to say to questions like "What future innovations, products or services will require training support?" or "What knowledge sets or skills will employee require to move the organization forward?" - **Get the priorities straight**Think out plans to address the issues that surfaced as important by means of learning and development, base any recommendations on what types of training should be deployed on these findings, and make a plan for the costs. - **Prepare for the future**Running a general TNA when there isn’t one particular burning area gives L&D specialists time to be thorough and look at the big picture rather than figuring out how to quickly patch-up something. **Resources** - [The need for a Training Needs Analysis](/blog/business/the-need-for-a-training-needs-analysis) - [How to do a TNA for existing content](/blog/business/how-to-do-a-tna-for-existing-content/) - [Doing a Training Needs Analysis for the future](/blog/business/doing-a-training-needs-analysis-for-the-future/) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

We needed individual course sales, packages, membership subscriptions, and gamification to increase engagement. We also required compliance documentation for continuing education credits.” Alicia Pollock, Co-Founder ## The solution - Dashboard helped break up courses into bite-sized segments for personalized learning - Features like gamification boosted engagement by over 25% - Quick access to information in the platform cut training times by 200% Royalwise has been using CYPHER for 5 years. In the last year, they have introduced **organization portals**, allowing accounting firms to leverage their training library, but **white-label**it so that it appeared to their clients like it was their own learning center. CYPHER allows us to break up our courses into bite-sized segments, and learners can search for the topics they want. We also include PDFs of the PowerPoint presentations, and closed captioning for the hearing impaired. The flexibility of the platform means that we can present the material in a variety of learning styles instead of just lectures. “Learners really enjoy the gamification, increasing engagement. We reward them with swag, discounts, and free appointments with us. This has increased our engagement over 25%. In addition, learners cut down their training time by at least 200% because they no longer have to search around on YouTube trying to teach themselves independently. One of our subscribers, Brenda, took every single course we offer, and uses the platform as a research library when she needs to look up a specific software workflow. A year ago I hired her as my own bookkeeper. We now record our sessions and store the recordings in CYPHER to create a set of SOPs for working with clients.” Alicia Pollock, Co-Founder ## The results - Double-digit revenue growth year-over-year since implementing CYPHER - Received authorization to award Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit to CPAs and bookkeepers - Platform has supported learning solutions at scale After 5 years of double-digit steady growth, all due to the CYPHER platform, last year we introduced organization portals, allowing accounting firms to leverage our training library, but white-label it so that it appeared to their clients like it was their own learning center. This has allowed us to grow into the accounting firm space, in addition to continuing to offer training to individual users. **We are now able to scale exponentially**. Our membership program is our fastest-growing segment. We created learning paths to group our courses together into bundles, and offered full-library access to our Royalwise OWLS (On-Demand Web-based Learning Solutions). We've had **15% growth** in 2024 compared to 2023, and **19% growth** comparing 2023 to 2022. Our audience likes the platform and the training we provide. The comprehensive feature set available through CYPHER allowed us to receive authorization from the National State Board of Accountancy (NASBA) to award Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit to CPAs and bookkeepers. Because we can offer on-demand, live, and blended courses, along with a library of assessments, we are now a recognized continuing education provider in the industry. “I absolutely would recommend CYPHER to other organizations.

Utilize a variety of platforms (emails, LMS announcements, social media) to reach students and stakeholders effectively. Incorporate video messages and live Q&A sessions to maintain a personal touch and foster a sense of community and belonging among students and educators. ## A - Accessibility **Enhanced approach:** Accessibility must encompass not only digital tools but also content inclusivity and support for diverse learning needs. Implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to create flexible learning opportunities. Ensure materials are accessible on low-bandwidth and offline options to cater to students in varying digital infrastructures. ## R - Resources **Resource expansion:** Beyond digital textbooks and academic papers, incorporate a broader range of e-learning resources, including open educational resources (OER), interactive simulations, and virtual labs. Leverage AI-driven tools for personalized learning paths and assessments to support individual learning journeys. ## E - Engagement **Innovative engagement strategies:** Engagement now extends into virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments, offering immersive learning experiences that can simulate real-world scenarios. Gamification and social learning platforms have become increasingly important in maintaining student motivation and participation. ## 2 - Support and Feedback **Support systems:** Establish comprehensive support systems that address not only academic challenges but also mental health and well-being. Virtual counseling services, peer support networks, and mentorship programs are essential components of a holistic support system. Feedback Mechanisms: Leverage analytics and feedback tools within your LMS to monitor engagement and learning progress. Regular check-ins and surveys can help tailor the learning experience to student needs, providing a basis for continuous improvement and adaptation. ## Implementing the enhanced CARE2 Framework: A step-by-step guide - **Assess needs and resources:** Start by assessing the digital readiness of your institution and the specific needs of your students and faculty. - **Develop a comprehensive plan:** Based on your assessment, develop a plan that addresses all aspects of the CARE2 Framework, ensuring a balanced approach to e-learning implementation. - **Train educators and students:** Provide training and resources to educators and students on using e-learning tools effectively, with a focus on building digital literacy skills. - **Launch pilot programs:** Implement pilot programs to test and refine your e-learning strategies, allowing for adjustments before a full-scale rollout. - **Evaluate and iterate:** Continuously evaluate the effectiveness of your e-learning initiatives, using feedback to make iterative improvements. ## Navigating the future with the CARE2 Framework The updated CARE2 Framework provides a robust roadmap for educators to navigate e-learning in times of crisis. By focusing on Communication, Accessibility, Resources, Engagement, and Support and Feedback, educational institutions can build resilient and inclusive learning environments that withstand the challenges of today and tomorrow. In embracing this framework, we not only prepare for crises but also pave the way for a more innovative, flexible, and student-centered approach to education. The journey of learning continues, and with the CARE2 Framework, we ensure that it moves forward, no matter the circumstances.

The right digital toolsEvaluate your current digital tools, like an LMS, and their potential for remote learning. If you aren’t using one now, ask these questions before making a choice: - Is the LMS easy to set up and implement? - Does the LMS provider offer full support and assistance to users? - Does it possess the features that you are looking for or want to have? - What are the technological constraints between the users and the school? The right learning activitiesLearning will be virtual and remote, and you want to make sure the platform can support these activities. Some of the virtual activities that work well are: - Discussion forums - Debate assignments - Wikis - Online groups - Web-conferencing - Group chat - Quizzes - Freeform assessments ### Evaluate Evaluation is the way to know if the implementation has been successful, with three key components: GuideShow teachers, students, and parents how to accommodate remote learning. MonitorKeep track of teachers’ and students’ progress and develop an effective feedback system. AdjustMake the necessary adjustments to your implementation. Upgrade, innovate and update as often as needed. ## Award-winning platform for education In the past year, we’ve received **over two dozen awards** for our innovative learning technology, including **Forbes Advisor’s** “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “**Best LMS**.” We’ve also received recognition for our work in academia, earning the title of “Best K-12 Remote Learning Partner” in the **SIIA CODiE 2022 Awards** and numerous other awards.

Os métodos tradicionais de ensino já não atendem totalmente às necessidades dos alunos de hoje. É necessária uma mudança no paradigma sobre como abordamos a educação. O ensino precisa ser centrado no aluno, mas, acima de tudo, deve ser baseado no perfil do graduado. A aprendizagem baseada em competências é uma abordagem moderna de ensino orientada a competências e que visa educar o aluno para uma carreira e uma vida civil. Como a dinâmica do mercado de trabalho está em contínua transformação e evolução, os alunos precisam estar preparados para carreiras do futuro que talvez nem existam ainda. Como as escolas podem fazer isso? Ao se concentrarem no desenvolvimento das habilidades e dos comportamentos necessários para essa época em que estamos passando por constantes mudanças, elas garantirão que os alunos dominem conteúdos e adquiram habilidades como adaptabilidade, resiliência e autonomia. Também conhecida como centrada no aluno, baseada em proficiências ou baseada em desempenho, a aprendizagem baseada em competências tem características e princípios semelhantes a todas essas abordagens, ao colocar o aluno como denominador comum entre a experiência de aprendizagem, os resultados e uma boa base. ## Os seis princípios da aprendizagem baseada em competências Sem mais delongas, vamos explorar alguns dos princípios que são a base da aprendizagem baseada em competências: 1. ### Os alunos avançam no domínio do conteúdo e das habilidades do século XXI A aprendizagem baseada em competências concentra-se no progresso, e não no conhecimento adquirido em um determinado momento. O objetivo do ensino é garantir que os pilares para o desempenho sejam a aprendizagem personalizada, roteiros alternativos de aprendizagem, aprendizagem individualizada, ajuste de conteúdo e apoio contínuo dos professores. Além disso, esse progresso conta com dois níveis: o conteúdo que os alunos dominam e as habilidades e comportamentos que eles demonstram ao longo do caminho. O resultado desejado é ter uma educação completa que prepare os alunos para as próximas etapas de suas vidas.

A aprendizagem baseada em competências visa tornar as coisas claras e informar explicitamente todas as pessoas envolvidas nos padrões de avaliação e nas expectativas do desempenho da escola. Isso facilita a aprendizagem e dá clareza aos alunos sobre o processo educacional de ponta a ponta. Dessa maneira, os alunos sabem exatamente onde estão academicamente e o que precisam fazer para ter sucesso. 3. ### Várias formas de avaliação registradas separadamente Cada aluno é avaliado individualmente, em função de suas próprias competências, sem comparação com outros. Isso significa que os alunos são avaliados com base no progresso individual e não por um nível comum que a turma inteira deve atingir em um determinado momento. Os resultados das avaliações formativas são usados para informar os professores sobre qualquer ajuste instrucional ou apoio acadêmico de que os alunos precisem ao longo de suas experiências de aprendizagem. Avaliações somativas avaliam o desempenho da aprendizagem e seus resultados registram o domínio dos alunos em um momento específico. O progresso acadêmico e outros desempenhos, como hábitos de trabalho, qualidades pessoais, frequência escolar e participação nas aulas, são monitorados e registrados separadamente. 4. ### As escolas personalizam a aprendizagem para corresponder aos níveis emocionais e de desempenho dos alunos Com expectativas claras e relatórios confiáveis, é possível ter uma melhor compreensão da trajetória de aprendizagem de cada aluno. Os professores podem avaliar o desempenho dos alunos e, com base nos resultados, adaptar a instrução para atender às necessidades individuais de aprendizagem. Por meio de avaliações diferenciadas, opções de aprendizagem personalizadas e roteiros alternativos de aprendizagem, os alunos demonstram o progresso da aprendizagem. Dessa forma, também recebem várias oportunidades para melhorar o processo de aprendizagem. 5. ### Os alunos têm voz e escolha em sua experiência de aprendizagem Os alunos têm a liberdade de decidir sobre vários aspectos do processo de aprendizagem e de contribuir para a concepção de experiências ou roteiros de aprendizagem. Os professores criam oportunidades para os alunos escolherem como desejam demonstrar o domínio do conteúdo de aprendizagem. Eles podem fornecer opções para os alunos ou até mesmo deixá-los estabelecer como, quando e em que mostrar seu progresso. Isso facilita a intervenção do aluno e contribui para o desenvolvimento das habilidades do século XXI, como apropriar-se da aprendizagem, ser capaz de se adaptar, planejar, acomodar e finalmente demonstrar seu conhecimento e progresso. 6. ### As avaliações são uma ferramenta de comunicação As avaliações já deixaram de ser uma ferramenta coercitiva. Elas comunicam o progresso e as conquistas para os alunos e suas famílias. As notas não são vistas como uma ferramenta de controle ou punição e, em vez disso, são usadas para facilitar e melhorar a aprendizagem. ## Os pré-requisitos da implementação da aprendizagem baseada em competências A aprendizagem baseada em competências não pode ser usada com sucesso sem os seguintes pré-requisitos: - propósito - equidade - inclusão - mentalidade de crescimento - propriedade - consistência - transparência - confiabilidade - investimento - flexibilidade - rigor - melhorias contínuas As escolas precisam de clareza de visão e propósito para projetar a experiência de aprendizagem e fornecer suporte personalizado. Além disso, elas precisam garantir [equidade e inclusão](https://www.cypherlearning.com/pt-br/blog/k-20/cinco-ferramentas-digitais-para-tornar-a-sala-de-aula-virtual-mais-inclusiva/) em seus programas, para que todos os alunos possam alcançar os resultados desejados. Para que a transição da aprendizagem tradicional para a aprendizagem baseada em competências aconteça, as escolas precisam ter e promover uma mentalidade de crescimento e oferecer experiências de aprendizagem centradas no aluno para que eles possam se apropriar de seu desenvolvimento acadêmico. A aprendizagem baseada em competências requer uma visão consistente, transparente e confiável, com propósitos claros, em função das experiências de aprendizagem fornecidas. Além disso, existe a necessidade de investir no desenvolvimento e na formação de professores para que compreendam e implementem adequadamente a aprendizagem baseada no domínio. Leia mais: [Como ter sucesso na formação digital de professores](https://www.cypherlearning.com/pt-br/blog/k-20/como-ter-sucesso-na-formacao-digital-de-professores/) A aprendizagem baseada em competências proporciona uma grande flexibilidade, garantindo aprendizagem personalizada e suporte para cada aluno. Isso não significa que não haja um alto rigor acadêmico envolvido no processo de aprendizagem. A transição para a aprendizagem baseada em competências exige tempo e requer melhorias contínuas para se adequar aos alunos de cada escola, principalmente nesses tempos. ## Conclusão A aprendizagem baseada em competências é uma abordagem de ensino inovadora focada no aluno e projetada com o perfil do graduado em mente. A educação alinha-se com as expectativas e exigências do ensino superior e da vida e carreira futuras. Essa abordagem usa os interesses dos alunos para envolvê-los na aprendizagem e a instrução passa a ser relevante para suas vidas. O que importa é o progresso individual e a experiência de aprendizagem personalizada para que os alunos possam atingir seu potencial.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Difficulty in providing training to a global and diverse team - Limited speed and flexibility in training Paulo Perez, Chief Human Resource Officer of Potato Corner came across CYPHER Learning® through a friend who uses CYPHER for his own business. "That’s what convinced me to give it a try," Mr Perez said,  "and it’s a good thing I did." "We have seen so many improvements across our organization, not just speed but also flexibility in terms of learning. We’ve seen that our employees’ competencies have improved just by using the platform. We are confident that as we use it more and more, our people will be more equipped in terms of their capabilities to handle their roles." ## The solution - Employees' competencies have improved - Employees' can access the platform from anywhere at anytime - Increased engagement through gamification and communication features "I expected the online learning program to be similar to physical training. I was hoping to provide our franchise a learning experience similar to attending an actual classroom." says Raymond Opina, International Business Development Manager. ### Implementation "What I like most CYPHER is that it’s very user-friendly" says Raymond Opina, International Business Development Manager.  "Even users who are not computer savvy will be able to complete the modules without any navigation issues."  Isabelle Javier, a Brand Specialist says "I would consider myself a techy person. For me, the platform is very easy to use and navigate. I always know where to click, and the platform provides a smooth user experience." ### Features Nikka Sanchez, Human Capital Officer says "For me, the best feature is the course catalog because that’s where all the learning begins. As administrators, we have the opportunity to be creative and use a gamification approach to create more engagement for our users." Jr Marfori, a Franchisee said the best CYPHER feature "is that you enter the training without knowing anything at all, and after a couple of hours, you come out with the know-how of a lot of things. You learn operations, products, and quality control. You get years and years of hard work into a comprehensive program. Once you take the final test, you immediately know what your weaknesses are. This allows you to work on the errors and correct them." Paulo Perez, the Chief Human Resource Officer said "The first one is the chat feature. We like it because it gives us a chance to communicate with our learners, which is very important for them, as we guide them through their development. We also like the different styles of courses because we can adjust them to our learners’ needs." “The best feature is its interface. It has a good user experience, and overall the site looks clean and not cluttered. This makes it very easy to use. One of the best parts of online learning is its convenience since you get to learn when you’re at .” Isabelle Javier, Brand Specialist (Digital) ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Potato-Corner.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Limited budgets, different learning tools, and the need for seamless integration can lead to frustration and inefficient workflows. Additionally, keeping employees engaged during training can result in lower retention rates and skills gaps in the workforce. TalentLMS is a popular cloud-based learning management system (LMS) with a basic set of features to create and deliver courses, track progress, and manage learners. However, with the growing demand for high-quality online training solutions, it's wise to explore other alternatives to this entry-level option before making your final choice.  In this article, we’ll highlight the top 10 TalentLMS alternatives and competitors that can enhance your learning or corporate training strategy: - CYPHER Learning. - Docebo. - Moodle. - Litmos. - Paradiso. - Absorb LMS. - LearnUpon. - Skilljar. - iSpring. - Canvas LMS. ## Exploring TalentLMS alternatives [TalentLMS](https://www.talentlms.com/) has gained popularity as an easy-to-use platform for corporate training environments, allowing quick course creation for teams across any type of company.

Blended learning, characterized by the integration of online digital media with traditional classroom methods, has emerged at the forefront of this transformation. Here's an in-depth look at why blended learning is becoming the educational norm across the globe. ## The catalysts for change ### Technological advancements The rapid advancement of technology has made digital learning tools more accessible and effective, enabling a seamless blend of online and offline learning experiences. From AI-powered platforms that personalize learning to VR and AR technologies that offer immersive learning environments, technology is continuously breaking new ground in educational possibilities. ### Changing pedagogical needs The diverse needs of today’s learners, who thrive in environments that offer flexibility, personalization, and engagement, are driving educators to adopt more holistic and inclusive teaching strategies. Blended learning addresses these needs by providing diverse learning experiences that cater to individual learning styles and paces. ### Global accessibility The need for education systems to be more inclusive and accessible has never been more pronounced. Blended learning expands access to quality education, reaching learners who might be limited by geography, mobility, or socio-economic factors. ## The Impact of Blended Learning ### Enhanced learning outcomes Blended learning strategies have been shown to improve learning outcomes, fostering higher engagement, retention, and application of knowledge. The ability to tailor learning experiences to individual needs allows for deeper understanding and mastery of subjects. ### Flexibility and resilience The hybrid nature of blended learning offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing education to continue uninterrupted in the face of closures or disruptions. This resilience has proven essential in recent times, highlighting the model’s capacity to adapt to changing circumstances. ### Preparation for the future As the world becomes increasingly digital, blended learning prepares students for the future, equipping them with the digital literacy skills and adaptive learning strategies needed in the 21st century. It bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world application, making education more relevant and practical. ## Looking ahead: The evolution of blended learning As blended learning cements its status as the educational norm, its evolution will continue to be shaped by emerging technologies and pedagogical insights. Future trends may include greater emphasis on collaborative online learning environments, the integration of AI to further personalize learning experiences, and the exploration of new, immersive technologies to enhance virtual learning spaces. ## A paradigm shift in education Blended learning is no longer an innovative experiment in education; it is becoming the standard. Its adoption across educational institutions worldwide signifies a paradigm shift towards more dynamic, flexible, and student-centered learning. As we embrace this change, the focus will be on refining and enhancing blended learning strategies to ensure they meet the evolving needs of students and educators alike, paving the way for a more inclusive, effective, and resilient educational system. Reflecting the current state of educational innovation and the shifting paradigms of learning, this updated blog post underscores the growing significance of blended learning. It highlights not only its current prevalence but also its potential to shape the future of education, emphasizing the importance of continuous adaptation and improvement in teaching methodologies.

Well, there are couple of reasons. In today's digital age, technology is an integral part of our daily lives. This is especially true in the field of education. Also, LMS platforms provide a centralized location for teachers to manage and deliver educational content, while also offering interactive tools for students to engage with the material. They call also foster collaboration and communication. However, with so many options available, it can be overwhelming for educators to choose the right LMS for their classroom. In this blog post, we will explore some things to consider when choosing an LMS for K-12 education. ## The allure of the modern LMS for K-12 education It's hard for educators, learners, or their parents to ignore the innovations of the modern LMS for K-12 education. Benefits include: - **Seamless flexibility and scalability:** Cloud-based LMS platforms enable schools and districts to deploy systems at scale with minimal infrastructure requirements, making adoption easier for schools, regardless of size or budget. - **Real time access and communication:** Students can access their coursework at their own pace anytime, and anywhere. Teachers can create and deliver customized lessons and assessments that cater to individual learning styles and abilities, and students and parents can monitor learning progress and communicate with instructors and administrators in real-time. - **Flexible Integration that supports modern technologies:** Advanced technologies like automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, gamification, and data analytics enable educators to deliver more personalized and engaging learning experiences. ## Clearing the remaining hurdles when choosing LMS for K-12 education Although the benefits are amazing, there are still some challenges that must be addressed when choosing a LMS for K-12 education. A successful implementation of a LMS for K-12 education requires long-term vision, careful planning and evaluation, and the commitment from all of your stakeholders. How do you clear those hurdles? Follow these steps: 1. Have a plan that aligns to your organization's goals and unique learning objectives. 2. Collaborate with all stakeholders in the decision-making process and ensure alignment with the defined purpose and expectations of students, teachers, and administrators. 3. Prioritize your modern learners. Ensure students they have access to the necessary technology and resources. The goal should always be to simplify ease of use without compromising LMS capabilities. Choose the LMS vendor based on the classroom experience, their commitment to accessibility, students’ emotional intelligence and age-appropriate learning. 4. Focus on LMS solutions that flexibly integration with advanced technologies like automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, gamification, and data analytics enable educators to deliver more personalized and engaging learning experiences. Additionally look for solutions that offer seamless data integration from the LMS with the student information system (SIS)–Opt for solutions that provide intuitive and actionable insights into student performance versus disjointed data. ## CYPHER Included as a Representative Vendor When choosing, an LMS for K-12 education, clear the obstacles by doing your work: understand the current state of the K-12 LMS market, review the key findings and recommendations from sources you trust, and compare the representative vendors.

How did they sell so many courses and how did they become industry influencers? These are regular people just like you. They have similar degrees and walked on similar career paths before selling courses online, just like you. But why are they more successful? The answer is not a secret success recipe. These course creators are probably not more knowledgeable or charismatic than the rest of the experts in your field. They just knew how to market their online course business by creating and leveraging a personal brand. With a well-designed personal branding action plan, you can enjoy similar success by standing out from the crowd. Stats show that over [57% of people](https://www.adzooma.com/blog/brand-personalities/) prefer to buy from brands with strong personalities. Learn what it takes to build one. ## What is a personal brand and why do you need one? Personal branding includes practices that help you establish your image and boost your reputation. A personal brand highlights your value and helps you differentiate yourself from your competitors. So, what is the point of building a personal brand as a knowledge entrepreneur? Benefits include: Make your audience see you the way you want them to; - Highlight your unique personality and qualities; - Focus on what you offer and your competitors don’t; - Become easily recognizable and memorable; - Connect to like-minded professionals who can support you; - Get closer to your target audience and boost their trust. The latter is particularly important because people tend to purchase a product or service simply because they associate it with a known figure. A strong personal brand helps you become the go-to person in your domain and attract a wider audience. ## A step-by-step approach to building your personal branding action plan Building a strong personal brand takes time. Getting inspired by the best personal brands out there can help. But you still have a long way ahead until you craft your own brand and benefit from it. To achieve this goal faster, you need to visualize your course of action. Here is a seven-step branding action plan for course creators. ### 1. Find your USP A USP (unique selling proposition) defines what makes you stand out from your competitors. As a course creator, your USP could relate to your: - Unique credentials; - Out-of-the-box teaching strategy; - Competitive price point; - Personalized guidance and support. Anything that makes your online courses unique can represent your USP, which is a key element of a strong personal brand. A solid USP must be catchy and memorable. For example, Tiffany & Co, the famous jewelry brand, uses "the right one is worth waiting for." This analogy refers both to love and the exquisite engagement rings people can get at Tiffany & Co. Another powerful USP comes from the Swedish furniture company IKEA. It says "to create a better everyday life for the many people," describing IKEA’s major benefit — affordability. [PowHer.fit](https://www.powher.fit/), an online Fitness training community that offers online courses and coaching, uses the tagline “a StrongHer HealthiHer You” to explain how they empower people to achieve their fitness goals. When writing your USP, avoid generic phrases, such as “the best discounts” or “the most effective learning experience.” Essentially, think of your USP as what makes you … you. Find a way to pack and sell that feature so that learners understand its value. Moreover, your USP should be embedded in all your content and marketing efforts. Don’t post it on your page alone. Use it on your online course landing page, social platforms, blog posts, and even in your online courses. ### 2. Define your goals and narrow down your area of expertise An effective personal branding action plan starts with clear goals. Depending on where you are in your career, these could be: - Gaining more customers; - Increasing your brand awareness; - Positioning yourself as an industry leader. A strong personal brand can help you achieve all these, but you should know from the start what your end purpose is. For instance, if you want to stand out as a leader in your field, your personal band should focus on your expertise and previous achievements. If you want to get more customers, focus on the advantages your courses will bring them. When defining your personal branding goal, don’t fall into the trap of being too inclusive. No matter how well you know your field, you can’t be an expert in everything. The purpose of building your personal brand is to draw attention to your key differentiators. People should recognize you as the expert who knows something in-depth, not someone with general knowledge on various topics. [Niche courses](/blog/entrepreneurs/niche-online-course-ideas) can generate high revenue. Centering your business and brand strategy on a well-defined niche makes you all the more memorable. ### 3. Define your audience Your personal brand should reflect your most valuable skills but also your target learners. With [58% of Gen Z consumers](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/consumer-packaged-goods/our-insights/true-gen-generation-z-and-its-implications-for-companies) willing to pay more for services that are tailored to their individual personalities, it’s critical to find and stick to a specific audience. For example, if you teach a foreign language, you would use different approaches with children as opposed to corporate employees. The voice and image you choose as part of your personal branding strategy should resonate with your audience. How to find your target audience? You don’t need advanced marketing skills for this. Just think the people that would benefit the most from your knowledge. You can create a learner persona to better understand your ideal client. To do this, simply make a list of this person’s: - Age and gender; - Education; - Location; - Interests and passions; - Employment status; - Average income; - Values and aspirations; - Social media use. All these factors define your learner or buyer persona and their needs. Once you know them, you'll find it easier to create a brand that answers those needs. ### 4. Boost your online visibility Once you start building your personal branding action plan, you also have to focus on boosting your online visibility. These two strategies are intertwined. Once you’ve defined your USP, goals, and target audience, it’s time to focus on showing the world your personal brand. There are many ways to do this as an online knowledge entrepreneur, including: - Social media; - Blog posts; - Interviews; - Paid online ads; - Partnerships. First and foremost, it’s essential to emphasize your personal brand in the place where you sell courses, such as a learning platform. This is a great place to start your personal branding journey as a course entrepreneur. On this type of [customized portal](/tour/content-development-and-delivery), you get various in-built marketing features to craft a professional brand and showcase it easily. Furthermore, consistency is key to building your personal brand. So, make sure you present yourself from the same angle on all channels. Maintain the same voice, image, and values. ### 5. Choose the right tools To build a successful personal brand, you need tools that ease your work while creating content. Having a personal website is a great way to promote yourself as a knowledge entrepreneur. With tools such as a [learning platform](/business), you have everything in one place — a platform where you can create, advertise, sell courses, and keep in touch with your learners. A learning platform offers lots of features that streamline content creation, from the theme you choose for your website to the type of courses you create and how you promote them. It allows you to easily: - Create video, audio, and written content that best suits your audience; - Keep in touch with your learners through chats and groups; - Increase your online presence by blogging or using [third-party integrations](/tour/integrations), such as Mailchimp, which helps you run email campaigns. When you build your website, also make sure you write a compelling “ me page. It should showcase your experience, degrees, certifications, publications, and other achievements that define your career. ### 6. Create and maintain a professional network You can start by building a strong LinkedIn profile and use it to connect with your former teachers, co-workers, and managers. Then, send invitations to people you would like to be associated with, such as influencers in your field, companies you would like to collaborate with, etc. Also, use LinkedIn to post updates regularly. Show your network you’re busy and 100% immersed in your activity. The more active you are, the more attention you will draw to your personal brand and your online course business. Stay connected with your network of professionals and followers as well. You should apply a unified vision and strategy across all your social media platforms. When posting something on LinkedIn or your blog, share it on the rest of your social channels. Thus, you’ll create more spread and have a bigger impact. For example, [54% of Gen Z](https://www.cmocouncil.org/thought-leadership/reports/critical-channels-of-choice) admit that social platforms influence them more than anything else. Take advantage of this trend to spread your message and boost your brand awareness. ### 7. Stay true to your personal brand Your personal brand should be more than a marketing strategy or a reflection of your ideal self. If there is one thing customers generally hate, that is a fake product or a phony professional. Inspiring people online and letting them down offline could be a reason for entrepreneurial failure. This is why it’s important to be consistent and stay true to your personal brand both online and offline. Imagine a successful yoga teacher who constantly blogs and posts on social media the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, but does the complete opposite in real life. This person’s followers would probably feel cheated. Their mentor is not practicing what they preach, but they earn money thanks to the image they created online. Not being true to yourself and your customers makes it hard to become and stay successful in the long haul. It would force you to maintain appearances hoping that no one realizes you’re not being authentic. Successful personal branding doesn’t mean pretending you’re the best, but finding the best in you and focusing on that. ## Building a strong brand as an entrepreneur Building your personal brand means finding your voice and the unique traits that differentiate you from your competitors. A personal branding action plan also helps you sell more online courses as you gain online visibility and a good reputation. And as an online course entrepreneur, it’s very important to have a learning management system (LMS) that helps you showcase your personal brand. The CYPHER Learning platform allows you to [create, market, and sell online courses](/resources/brochures/business/create-market-sell-courses-on-the-cypher-platform) from a single location. It features a customizable visitor portal, online course landing pages, a public blog, and much more, so you can personalize your website and tell a compelling brand story.

Many of today's employees simply associate **workplace learning** with videos. So here are four reasons why video should be part of your company’s **L&D strategy**: 1. ### Video for training doesn't have to be expensive It can be, but it doesn't have to be. It all depends on your specific **organizational needs**. If your company needs professional videos exclusively and **has the budget** to cover the expenses, your best bet is to seek professional video services. However, most smartphones come with reasonably powerful cameras, getting a tripod and a microphone is **not that big of an investment**, and there are various video-editing software at fair prices. Also, senior employees can shoot some videos explaining what they know best, thus creating the most relevant video learning content. 2. ### Video for training is versatile Videos can be used to deliver a variety of learning content for employees. From **onboarding** and **compliance training** to technical demonstrations of how a product or service works, from fire safety to performance support, employees can be trained by watching relevant videos. Not only that, but most **training videos** can be easily updated, and the same video can be used in more than one training course. You shoot it once and then you can use it and **reuse** it whenever necessary. 3. ### Video connects the learner in a deeper way The human brain is attuned to color and movement, so a video will always win in terms of **employee engagement** and **learning retention rates** compared to written text or even audio files. Hearing someone's voice explaining something and watching his/her body language while doing so makes people **pay more attention** to the addressed topic in a video. What's more, the people in the video have the opportunity to present the facts that need to be learned in the most engaging way possible: by wrapping them inside a **story**. Even the driest of topics can be associated with a memorable story. 4. ### Videos make training more interactive Probably the best thing **training videos** is that they can be **interactive**. The simple thing of choosing A over B in what will happen next in a training video makes employees more interested in what they learn and contributes to **higher retention rates**. They'll spend more time interacting with the learning content from the video and they'll better absorb the new information they're dealing with. An interactive video puts more **power** into **learners' hands**, by allowing them to steer their learning process wherever they want. Once the necessary videos are created, you as an instructional designer need to find the perfect place for them in one or more **training courses**. Depending on what your company already uses to manage training materials — a **cloud-based business LMS**, or another kind of software — the videos should be easily uploaded and then accessed by anyone who needs to learn something new.

[CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) ## Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach Traditional learning management systems do not offer flexible, trackable, or personalized mentorship and coaching programs. In contrast, modern LMS platforms provide very personalized learning profiles, competency mapping, and AI-powered tools to streamline course creation for successful mentorship and coaching programs. They also offer smart recommendations, insightful analytics, and social learning through chat, forums, and peer-to-peer connections. They enable mentee or coachee matching based on shared goals, fostering a sense of community and engagement, ultimately enhancing the mentorship and coaching experience while delivering measurable ROI. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER One-size-fits-all courses and content without consideration of mentee or coachee pace or needs Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – including smart recommendations specific to the mentee or coachee progress and goals You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allows you to get mentorship and coaching initiatives up and running faster with less people and money Lack of visibility into mentee and coachee progress and ability to advise them as needed Gives mentors and coaches the ability monitor mentee and coachee progress and intervene with relevant assistance throughout their journey Manual, outdated, and disconnected mentee and coachee assessments Regular and in-depth assessments tied to skills development help mentors and coaches understand mentee and coachee areas of growth, gaps, and progress Manual and disparate reporting and program ROI Insightful analytics and reporting to understand mentorship and coaching program ROI. Connect to HR systems and enterprise workflow to understand the impact of mentorship and coaching on talent development, acceleration, and retention Inability to match mentees or coachees Match mentees with other mentees who share the same learning goals. Build a community of peers who have similar interests Lack of collaboration or peer-to-peer engagement Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate mentor/mentee or coach/coachee relationships with chat, forums, wikis, and other collaborative tools in 50+ languages ## A modern learning platform that builds mentorship into the learning journey See how mentoring and coaching capabilities within the CYPHER platform can help increase talent development, acceleration, and retention: ### Create personalized online courses #### POWERFUL COURSES Leveraging tailored content on the CYPHER platform, mentors and coaches can accelerate mentees’ and coachees’ skill development and knowledge acquisition.

Without a clear strategy, enterprise teams can face frustrating delays, low adoption rates, and missed learning goals. Getting the most out of your chosen solution takes some preparation. This guide walks you through the LMS implementation process, one step at a time. Whether you work in HR, lead L&D, or support rollout from the IT side, you’ll find practical tips to help your implementation go smoothly.  Learn what to expect, how to plan, and which mistakes to avoid so your team gets the most from your LMS investment. ## What Is LMS implementation? LMS implementation is the process of introducing a new [learning platform](https://www.cypherlearning.com/platform) into your organization. This involves everything from setting up the platform, to ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your existing tech ecosystem, to communicating the change to your stakeholders and users. An effective implementation is not just getting the platform up and running. It also makes sure that the system  meets the needs of your users, fits broader business goals, and supports long-term learning success. The LMS implementation process typically includes: - Initial setup and configuration of the new learning management system - Migrating training data and materials from previous systems - Integrating with existing tools (e.g., CRM, HCM platforms, or video platforms) - Setting up user roles and permissions - Onboarding users and facilitating adoption Your ready-to-roll platform tour starts here. [Explore CYPHER now](https://www.cypherlearning.com/platform)! Implementation complexity often depends on factors like the size of your organization and whether you’re opting for a cloud-based or on-premise solution. Cloud-based LMS deployments don’t require the infrastructure setup of on-premise solutions, allowing you to go straight to the configuration step. "Moving through [CYPHER] is intuitive and fast. The best way to describe the tech is to say it anticipates the moves of the learner. And it’s super powerful."– Michael Rochelle, Brandon Hall Group ## Benefits of a thoughtful LMS implementation strategy A well-planned LMS implementation is an investment that pays off in numerous ways, leading to a successful and sustainable implementation. Here’s what you can expect: - Faster adoption and engagement: [Employees and learners](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/employee-training) are more likely to use the system effectively when it meets their needs and matches the experience they’ve come to expect. When user needs are prioritized during setup, learners are more likely to engage from day one. - **Improved compliance tracking:**Setting up compliance training and certifications to support reporting needs pays off immediately with better tracking and reporting. - **Time-saving workflows:** Use the implementation phase to audit and optimize existing workflows so the new system supports smarter, more efficient processes. - **Seamless integration:**Future-proofing your learning ecosystem with tools like Single Sign-On (SSO) or HRIS integrations ensures scalability. ## LMS implementation checklist—8 crucial steps Getting ready to launch your LMS master plan? Use this step-by-step checklist to stay organized, avoid common setbacks, and ensure a smooth, successful rollout from day one. ### Step 1: Define clear goals Before diving into implementation, align your LMS strategy with your organization’s broader goals. Are you streamlining onboarding, [reinforcing compliance](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance), or building a culture of continuous learning? Clear objectives will keep your project focused and help you prioritize features, content, and integrations that matter most. To track success, establish meaningful KPIs tied to real business outcomes. Go beyond surface-level metrics and consider: - **Time to proficiency:**How quickly are new hires reaching full productivity after training? - **Engagement trends:**Which departments or roles are actively participating in training, and where are the drop-offs? - **Content relevance:**Are learners returning to key resources, or flagging outdated material? - **Manager feedback:**Are team leads noticing performance improvements tied to training initiatives? - **Knowledge application:**Can employees demonstrate or apply what they've learned in real-world scenarios? Gathering these baselines before you roll out the new system will help your team measure the success of the new solution and give LMS administrators deeper insight into how learning impacts performance, retention, and overall business goals — not just course completion. ### Step 2: Build an LMS implementation team Successful LMS implementation isn’t a one-person job. It requires a dedicated leader and a cross-functional team with stakeholders that keep an eye out for continuous improvement. That includes: - Human resources or learning and development professionals (including subject matter experts) - IT support for technical configurations - Department leaders or people managers Assign roles such as project manager, content manager, and technical lead to ensure responsibilities are clear. Set expectations for project participation.  ### Step 3: Choose the right LMS features and integrations Your LMS platform should fit into your existing systems and workflows, without confusing gaps and lags. Key features to consider include: - API-friendly [integrations](/blog/business/lms-integrations-to-elevate-your-learning-platform-experience) for CRMs, project management tools, or HR systems - Mobile learning capabilities for on-the-go learners - Advanced analytics dashboards for tracking progress - Course creation and management that meet the needs of your organization - Automation capabilities to streamline your workflows Keep a critical eye out for flashy features that lack substance and really look at how the features will add value to your team and your organization. ### Step 4: Create a full implementation timeline (LMS implementation project plan) A clear, phased timeline is essential for keeping your LMS implementation on track. Break the process into manageable steps to ensure every detail is covered and teams stay aligned. Key phases might involve: - Planning, including how to optimize the system - Initial setup and system configuration - Data and content migration, course creation - QA testing - Admin and user training - Pilot testing with a select group of users - Organization-wide launch (go-live) *Pro tip:* Set realistic deadlines for each phase, factoring in internal approvals, potential delays, and tech troubleshooting. A little buffer time now can prevent last-minute scrambles later. ### Step 5: Migrate any data or existing content Moving content from legacy systems can be challenging, so include data migration in your LMS project plan and clean up your training materials beforehand. Ensure compatibility with LMS-supported formats like SCORM or xAPI, and always have backups to avoid data loss. People data and organizational data will likely be imported via an integration with your HCM. As a result, be sure to partner with that system owner to ensure that you’re bringing over the data that you need. Finally, determine whether to migrate learning history or store it externally CYPHER comes ready with SCORM resources for your team. [Learn more](/resources/white-papers/content-standards-for-lms)! ### Step 6: Set up user roles and permissions Establishing the right user roles and permissions is critical for maintaining control, ensuring data security, and delivering the right learning experience to the right people. Take time to define who can access certain data. Common roles include: - LMS administrators with full system access and configuration controls over training programs - Team leads or department managers who act as instructors or course facilitators get specific user profiles - Learners with access limited to relevant online training programs, certifications, or learning paths Customize roles to reflect your organization’s structure, and consider future scalability. That final piece is especially important if you plan to expand to new teams, regions, or departments. ### Step 7: Pilot with a small group Before a full launch, conduct user acceptance testing with a group of selected learners. Collect feedback on the LMS interface, usability, content quality, and technical bugs. Addressing issues identified during the pilot can protect a smooth rollout and ensure you hit the learning objectives you've got in mind.  ### Step 8: Launch and monitor performance Promote the launch to employees, emphasizing the benefits of the LMS. Provide guidance on how to log in and find what they need. Use dashboards to track adoption rates, engagement levels, and learner progress. Make adjustments based on real-world data. ## Employee training and support Your LMS should support various training types—like onboarding, compliance, and employee development—while giving employees flexible access to learn at their own pace. Ongoing support is just as important. Provide clear guidance and resources to help employees navigate the platform, and consider integrating the LMS with other HR tools (such as performance or talent management systems) for a smoother learning experience. Built-in [reporting and analytics](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/reporting-and-analytics) also help track progress and show the impact of your training efforts. ### Creating in-app guidance To reinforce employee training and boost platform adoption throughout the learning process, build in-app guidance directly. Tooltips, tutorials, videos, and FAQs give users real-time help as they navigate the system, reducing confusion and support requests. Careful planning means pairing these tools with a user-friendly interface and a simple navigation structure. The easier the LMS is to use, the more confident employees will feel exploring content, completing training, and applying what they’ve learned. Take the next step: Design [customized learning paths with CYPHER Agent](/ai-360) for in-depth skills development.  ### Collaborating with a customer success team Partnering with the customer success team of your LMS vendor can make a big difference in your implementation success. They offer expert guidance on planning, timelines, and best practices to keep your rollout on track. From supporting data migration to running user acceptance testing, their role is hands-on throughout the process. They also help with long-term optimization, offering insights and support to ensure the LMS continues to align with your training goals. A strong relationship here sets the stage for sustained success and ongoing value. ## Common LMS implementation challenges Even with a solid implementation plan, you might hit a few snags before you master your learning platform. Below are some of the most common challenges organizations face, along with practical ways to address them before they derail your progress. ### Stakeholder misalignment - **Problem:**Project goals and priorities differ across departments, causing confusion and delays. - **Solution:**Hold regular planning meetings and status updates with key stakeholders. Build an extended implementation team that includes HR, L&D, IT, and department leads to keep everyone aligned and involved from start to finish. ### Underestimated migration time - **Problem:** Transferring existing training content to a new LMS provider takes longer than expected, delaying your timeline. - **Solution:** Start auditing and organizing your training materials early, before you jump into a new LMS implementation plan. Confirm that file types, formats, and structures are compatible with your new LMS to avoid rework during migration. ### Lack of user training - **Problem:** Employees struggle to use the LMS system effectively, leading to low engagement. - **Solution:** Offer a mix of live onboarding sessions and on-demand resources like tutorials, walkthroughs, and quick-start guides. Tailor materials to different user roles for more relevant support. ### Integration failures - **Problem:** The LMS doesn’t sync properly with existing systems, creating data silos. Without data migration support, you'll struggle to consolidate your learning management systems effectively. - **Solution:** Test all major integrations during the pilot phase, not after go-live. Work closely with your provider to ensure API compatibility with your HRIS, performance tools, and communication platforms. ## Post-implementation tips for long-term success Even after launch, LMS management is an ongoing responsibility. Keep your LMS strategy thriving with these tips: - **Ongoing support for training needs:** Provide continuous training resources like learning paths and automated reminders, and ensure effective knowledge base management. - **Feedback collection:** Use surveys and forums to capture insights directly from users. - **Course content updates:** Refresh your courses regularly to stay relevant. - **Performance reviews:** Measure KPIs and adjust strategies as needed. ## Pick the smarter path to LMS platform success A successful LMS implementation refers to a well-prepared, thoughtfully strategized, and collaborative effort between teams. When done right, the rewards are immense. From streamlined training to better learner engagement and organizational success, you’ll be well-known for your learning superpowers.

Just consider your professional resolutions at the beginning of January this year. Things went fine for a while, business as usual, as people say. Then… the Covid-19 pandemic came in and changed everything. Restaurant owners went into the takeaway business; therapists began doing therapy online with their clients; school made a swift transition to remote teaching; my ballet trainer created a YouTube account and began posting workouts online. In such a context, people need to acquire new skills rapidly if they want to stay competitive. This is why microlearning – granted, with all its advantages and drawbacks – might be a good idea. ## 3 Key aspects of effective microlearning The main advantage of any microlearning strategy is that you can quickly address specific issues without disrupting your employees’ daily schedule. If you combine it with peer learning, there is a good chance that this mix will create good habits that stick, such as continuous learning. If you want microlearning to work in a business environment, identify those specific pain points that affect productivity and try to address them in a quick and efficient manner. Easier said than done! Let’s see three steps that might help you implement an effective microlearning strategy: 1. ### Start small Do not try to think that microlearning is a catchall solution for all possible problems. Start small and address issues one at a time. Identify a critical point, a root cause, and connect it to a broader business strategy. A few things to take into account at this stage: - **Recurrence** — Which are the most frequent pain points? - **Validation** — How did you validate the root cause? - **Priority** — Why is this issue more critical than others? - **Context** — How does this issue align with our company’s broader goals? - **Results** — Wheat will improve if we address this issue? 2. ### Stay focused Once you have identified the main pain points, in other words, you can put a finger on the critical issues, start to address them. At this stage, the most important thing is to stay focused and do not get distracted. It’s easy to lose focus when things go haywire. Identify and manage competing priorities. Try to answer these questions: - **Approach** — What’s the best approach to address the root cause? - **People** — Who is the best person to pass on knowledge in an effective manner? - **Distractions** — What other issues might divide attention from this strategy? - **Context** — How can you make sure that learning is provided in a real work context? 3. ### Make it stick At this third stage of the microlearning strategy, you should focus on knowledge transfer. Make sure that there is real-time effective learning, as this is one of the main benefits of microlearning. If you offer (micro)learning opportunities on the fly, you might have the chance of solving problems without any disruption in the daily activities. However, make sure that these microlearning sessions are effective. A few things to consider: - **Connection** — How can you connect learning sessions and daily tasks? - **Transfer** — How can you provide opportunities for learning transfer? - **Context** — How can you create meaningful contexts for the employees? - **Limitations** — What are the barriers against the creation of a learning culture in the company? - **Retention** — How can you maximize the retention of new learning? ## Concluding remarks The difference between informal microlearning, that occurs in informal contexts and a clearly defined strategy is that in time you can measure the results. Keep in mind that microlearning has its limitations: it will not (it cannot) solve systemic problems, but it might be useful if you want to address specific issues. Make sure that your microlearning efforts are integrated naturally in the day-to-day routine of your employees and you will soon see the benefits. People are the most important asset of any business. Make sure that you create learning opportunities for them and allow them to grow. One (micro)step at a time!

But first, leaders must reframe the mindset behind traditional onboarding and human resource management. To be in touch with today's best learners, onboarding must be viewed as an opportunity to shape the career trajectories of new hires. For HR professionals, training managers, and corporate leaders, equipping new employees with the right learning and development tools isn't just an investment in their future—it's fundamental to shaping a powerful workforce and building a healthy work culture. In this post, we'll explore why employee empowerment is important and highlight some of the most dynamic learning and development tools to help. ## Learning and development: The launching point Think back ten to twenty years ago in the HR world. Learning and development used to be a basic exercise on the average hiring roadmap, complete with training courses and routine learning material a company. But today, onboarding is at the forefront of strategic business growth, particularly if the goal is to help employees feel empowered. In a 2023 [survey of onboarding and the current workforce](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/5-ways-onboarding-has-transformed-hrd-future/), HRD Future puts it this way: “Once viewed as a mandatory paperwork process, onboarding now emerges as a pivotal stage in the employee lifecycle. It has shifted from being a routine task to a crucial opportunity to set the tone for an employee's experience within the organization. No longer limited to completing forms and watching orientation videos, modern onboarding has evolved into a holistic experience designed to engage, empower, and integrate new hires seamlessly.” New employees come with natural curiosity, untapped potential, and a diverse range of experiences. Plus, freshly hired team members have a natural eagerness to contribute in meaningful ways. From the start, there’s a massive opportunity to engage and retain top talent, while creating a foundation of success for years to come. **That’s precisely why reframing onboarding as a career-changing process is crucial. It's no longer a mediocre exercise that happens on any decent online learning system.** Learning and development tools that go beyond basic compliance training (and include comprehensive mentorship and career pathways) make onboarding what it truly should be—the prime time for organizations welcoming new staff. ## 3 Benefits of learning and development programs for new hires Imagine walking into an unfamiliar office (or signing into a new remote workspace) and feeling fully supported in an upcoming role. When a robust learning and professional development program is in place, new hires get to experience this positivity from the first interaction. Plus, using intuitive learning management software pays off in big ways, both by assisting new staff and creating more seamless processes for trainers, instructors, and leaders. Here are three major advantages to using an advanced learning experience platform like CYPHER in your onboarding workflow. ### Improved transition from hiring time A structured learning and development program eases the movement from one job to the next, setting a clear path for empowered employees to follow in a new place. The right learning and development platform is one that can carefully evaluate things like: - Current knowledge gaps for an accurate baseline. - Existing compliance certifications or training status. - Long-range development or [mentorship plan](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching). - [Engagement insights](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) how the learning process is actually going. When these details are known up front, managers and mentors are more equipped to help employees learn foundational skills for the job. Additionally, managers benefit from the skills new employees bring that may not already be present within the organization. ### Increased job satisfaction and employee engagement When new employees receive personal attention and investment from the start, they are more likely to be satisfied and engaged in their work in the long term. According to data from the Brandon Hall Group, positive [onboarding experiences can improve retention](https://www.oak.com/blog/employee-onboarding-statistics/) by up to 82%. Introducing new hires to their department or team, creating a personalized onboarding program, and providing honest feedback on a regular basis are all effective onboarding strategies. These steps also make training requirements feel personal and human, rather than detached and unrelated to actual job functions. ### Faster skill development and productivity Specialized knowledge sharing tools accelerate the acquisition of necessary skills, placing new employees in a better position to contribute to stated company goals. For example, a company that prioritizes customer service outcomes as a KPI could design a personalized learning path that helps new hires master customer-focused communication skills. By understanding the kind of actions that contribute to higher customer engagement and CSAT scores, new hires are able to start performing at a high level right away. ## What to look for in an onboarding-friendly training platform Most corporate leaders and business development professionals have access to a wealth of tools designed to make learning (and onboarding) more engaging and productive. But what should trainers really search for when it comes to creating an in-depth, personalized onboarding process for new hires? Here's a list of must-have features that you can use to ensure employees develop the right skills from the start. ### Content creation tools and capability The old content creation process for onboarding was slow, labor-intensive, and highly repetitive. Educational materials for onboarding lacked proper branding and design to best engage learners. But with an [online course provider like CYPHER](/platform), instructors can easily create an entire onboarding or training program in minutes using AI course creation tools. This includes the process of uploading personalized learning profiles, creating individualized learning paths, and incorporating competency mapping. ### AI-powered potential AI (artificial intelligence) can accelerate the learning process so team leaders have more time to focus on real human connections. When incorporating AI into learning management systems, instructors can reduce the need for manual onboarding and free up time for more meaningful conversations. CYPHER Agent generates competency-mapped and gamified courses in just minutes. From turning static lessons into multisensory learning experiences and generating images for courses, CYPHER Agent has everything you need to take your courses from good to great – while saving time and resources. Plus, all of our AI-powered tools are packaged, purposeful, and intuitive, so you can create without any knowledge of AI. HR trainers, course creators, instructors, and more can generate courses from their own uploaded, original content – PDFs, videos, etc. Or, they can use AI to generate engaging learning modules, courses, and specialized onboarding experiences. Trainers can also upload branded slide decks or custom company procedures for a personal spin. ### Built-in mentoring and coaching tools Personal guidance from experienced personnel can be invaluable for professional growth. But [true mentorship](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching) always incorporates a [human touch](/tour/human-connection)—bridging the gap between the new employee and their trainer, even on digital platforms and within e-learning courses. The goal of [onboarding](/solutions/onboarding) is to build trust while developing new skills, talents, and strengths. Empowering employees begins with letting them know that real people are available to support them throughout the onboarding journey. ### Relevant assessment tools Online training sessions are often monitored by HR staff and instructors as new hires complete their checklists. But throughout the process, real-time data is helpful for identifying where a new hire might get stuck or need additional support. To better measure career progression and progress, CYPHER offers 55 pre-built [assessment tools](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation), including custom reporting options for leaders, coaches, and mentors. These tools make it easier to achieve complete visibility, helping learners find encouragement when they need it most. ### Gamification and interactive learning Modern learners want interactive training options that deliver relevant knowledge at all times. In a shocking survey outcome, edX Enterprise even found that the majority of [new hires view learning and development](https://business.edx.org/article/employers-seen-as-the-new-post-secondary-colleges-but-can-they-deliver) as the “new” post-secondary experience, roughly equating it with professional training in a collegiate environment. Of course, this perspective puts extra pressure on employers to make their learning and development offerings unique and results-oriented. HR leaders can engage new hires with fun and immersive learning experiences that reinforce company culture and skills. CYPHER makes that simple with [advanced gamification](/tour/gamification), encompassing awards, competition, and motivational elements. Employ leaderboards, periodic leveling, and gamified elements within courses and learning paths. Enable accumulation of individual, group, and site-wide points and badges contingent upon participation, scores, and more. ## 4 Tips to implement L&D into the new hire process Strategy is just as important as selection when it comes to learning and development programs. This means that corporate leaders must think beyond platform and software capabilities and go “big picture." What does it take to design new hire onboarding programs that are relevant, competitive, and highly engaging? **Based on our experience as the [top skills development program of 2024](/blog/business/us-news-best-lms-2024), here's how to ensure your approach is top-notch.** ### Realistically assess new training needs Understand the specific needs of your new hires to tailor your programs effectively. To empower employees for future success, establish an honest baseline of their incoming knowledge and [skill gaps](/solutions/skills-development). Then, move on to creating supported career paths that deliver real results and [professional development](/solutions/career-development) opportunities. ### Establish clear goals and objectives Ensure each learning session has specific goals and outcomes, and always communicate these to your new hires. When employees understand the “why” behind corporate processes (including onboarding), they’re more likely to buy in and adopt those policies on a personal level. If [onboarding](/solutions/onboarding) information is relevant to daily performance in the future, there’s more incentive to retain the information and use it in realistic job scenarios. ### Pivot to create more interactive training programs Onboarding courses must be compelling, practical, and in alignment with learners' preferred styles. It’s never a bad idea to audit onboarding training materials and adjust them as you go. Trainers might need to consider making onboarding changes when: - Executive leadership adjusts the company’s business model, growth plan, or long-term corporate strategy. - There are new external [compliance measures](/solutions/compliance), regulatory requirements, or laws that mandate updated employee training. - Feedback from previously hired employees highlights the need to change or improve processes for the next cohort of new team members. ### Provide ongoing support and feedback Following up with new hires after the initial onboarding process is essential. Reinforcing onboarding lessons and skills can improve performance and guide improvements in an employee’s personal career pathway. There are a few ways to accomplish a healthy feedback loop post-onboarding. Organizations might introduce predictable check-ins with trainers or pair new employees with experienced mentors within the organization. These steps keep the dialogue learning and development open, so that new hires can reference their training information at any time. ## Rethink onboarding by blending technology with a human touch Even with all the best learning and development features, the onboarding journey will always come up short if it prioritizes technology at the expense of human relationships. Utilizing industry-leading L&D tools—a learning management system, online courses, and AI technologies—[creates competence in role-specific skills](/blog/business/what-is-competency-based-learning-part-2-assessment-and-demonstration-of-competency). But that technology should complement, not replace, what makes onboarding a relational and personal experience. As corporate trainer [Meredith Leigh Pratt suggests](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/evolution-customer-onboarding-blend-technology-personal-pratt), onboarding without human interaction is not able to deliver the same results as a highly personalized process would. To truly empower new hires, it’s important to connect with them as people—even in remote training scenarios. ## When empowering employees is the end game The ultimate goal for online course providers must be more than simple education—the real destination is empowerment. That empowerment comes full circle when employees can see their personal growth trajectory within a single company. Career development must be tied to the learning process, with clear pathways that demonstrate how new skills and knowledge leads to future opportunities. [Empowering employees with knowledge sharing tools](https://elearningindustry.com/empowering-employees-through-continuous-training-and-developmen) has implications for the much broader world of global business and customer interactions. As eLearning Industry illustrates: “Employee training is no longer a one-time event conducted during the onboarding process. Today, the dynamics of the workplace are characterized by constant change, driven by advancements in technology, shifts in consumer behavior, and the globalization of business. To navigate this dynamic landscape, employees must be equipped with the skills and knowledge that go beyond their initial training, necessitating a culture of continuous learning within organizations.” Implementing a learning and development strategy within onboarding highlights a commitment to employee growth, a signal that the organization invests in its people as much as its product or service. ## Take the next steps with CYPHER As new hires embark on their journey, their growth signifies company growth.

With 1.35 billion tech startups globally, the innovation and resources available to companies are seemingly endless. Sometimes, it may seem like a daunting task to reign in those options and grow your company's IT skills without draining resources.Are you struggling to… Juggle a loaded tech stack that overcomplicates and under delivers on IT skills training Analyze the ROI and other meaningful metrics connected to IT skills training Ensure IT teams have the skills necessary to excel at their jobs Quickly create and update engaging training programs specifically tailored to individual goals Translate courses in multiple languages while maintaining meaning and localization ## Safeguard against IT shortages by developing skills from within The IT skills gap is real – and wider than ever – thanks to the growing demand for talent versed in technologies like AI, machine learning, cybersecurity, and cloud, to name a few. For example, [according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/07/tech-jobs-are-still-the-most-in-demand-says-employment-market-expert.html), cybersecurity analyst jobs will grow by 35% between 2021 and 2031, while software developer jobs will grow by 25% - both far above the average 5% growth rate. The issue for employers is there simply aren’t enough qualified candidates on the market to fill these roles, making the IT skills gap more severe – and costly – than talent shortages in any other function. If companies can’t access the technical talent they need, their ability to innovate is compromised, they’re more vulnerable to external threats, and overall performance and productivity are likely compromised. To prevent such issues, forward-thinking companies are upskilling existing IT staff through training. They’re investing in training programs and platforms to help develop essential IT and digital skill sets versus hiring from the outside. But IT training is incredibly specialized, and trainers need to be able to develop a wide range of courses quickly. Moreover, they need to ensure that learners achieve the necessary level of proficiency – establishing competencies and even certifications – in given areas of specialization versus just a cursory understanding. This is where the right learning platform is key – one that enables personalized, competency-based learning at scale and inspires the learner to *want* to master the content. **How wide is the IT skills gap?**Almost 95% of employers looking for tech talent have encountered a skills shortage over the past year, up from 89% the previous year. ComputerWeekly.com ## Award-winning platform for training CYPHER has received multiple awards for our innovative learning technology, including Forbes Advisor’s “**Best Overall Employee Training Software**” and “**Best LMS**." [All awards](https://www.cypherlearning.com/awards) ## Supercharged IT skills training. In minutes. CYPHER Agent can help you deliver robust new courses fast, ensuring course material reflects the organization’s up-to-the-minute needs, as well as precise details regarding technology releases, identified threats, and updates to system requirements. Imagine building competency-based, gamified, and personalized IT training in just minutes! This lets you: - Create highly personalized courses tailored for IT specializations, functions, or even individual applications - using your own uploaded content - and launch it just in time! - Ensure your teams are up to speed on the latest capabilities, updates, bug fixes and other technical issues - Control your content quality, accuracy, and credibility - Ensure the right level of proficiency across your entire team of IT professionals [CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) ## Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach IT course work is incredibly dynamic, detailed and complex – a training program devised of basic training manual PDFs or online documentation is wholly insufficient and slows down the learner’s ability to digest and comprehend the material, let alone master it. Besides being rigid and cumbersome, traditional LMSs don’t give trainers the flexibility they need to deliver fresh and engaging content that keeps pace with technological innovations. These methods also lack engagement due to their dry and linear presentation style, neglecting to assess whether the learner is effectively absorbing the content. CYPHER is revolutionizing the way companies conduct IT skills training and build their technical talent base. It bridges the gap between content development and delivery, cutting costs and allowing for personalized learning at scale. CYPHER empowers trainers to deliver effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content, and advanced data analytics – all geared toward helping IT team members achieve mastery-level proficiency in the areas of technical specialization that matter most to the company and the employee. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allow you to get IT skills training up and running faster with less people and money One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t adapt to the learner’s progress or training needs Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure learners understand and can prove mastery-level knowledge of a given specialization, such as Python programming or cloud optimization Rigid, static content formats that leave learners bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive engagement and retention of the subject at even the deepest level of detail Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics, empowering you to track learner progress, identify gaps in their technical knowledge and flag opportunities for IT skills improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut IT course creation to minutes – allowing you to update and disseminate information fast Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific technical topics to understand what the learner knows or doesn’t know Minimal collaboration Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate peer discussions and group exercises. This helps to unify teams and drive understanding and mastery of given specializations, like ERP management or cloud migration ## A modern learning platform for cultivating IT expertise See how the CYPHER platform can help your IT skills development program: ### Create and update an entire IT training curriculum fast #### POWERFUL COURSES With CYPHER, IT course creation is quick and simple.

Luckily, it’s not hard to make e-learning on a budget. Here are some tips how to go it. 1. ### Conduct a thorough needs analysis Making sure you have all the **proper tools** and the **important information** is key to doing a good job. Even if initially this kind of research was not budgeted on the expense sheet, it will ultimately save a few pennies. Creating content that fits like a glove and is appropriate for several categories of employees means actually spending less for more. 2. ### Start from the existing material Instead of rewriting everything from scratch, keep in mind that you can convert and customize the **existing learning content**: manuals, marketing information, video demos and training outlines are a very good starting point. This way, content developers and SMEs will have to put in a lot less hours, thus generating quite a few savings for the company. 3. ### Only keep what’s essential Microlearning is the go-to method these days because it gives morsels of concentrated information in a timely manner. So discuss with your SME and see what **parts of the content are essential** and build around those. Stating clear learning objectives and lining up assessments to match them is the key to developing very effective online training material. 4. ### Use in-house talent and expertise Involving **in-house SMEs** will ensure that the right expertise is being passed along. But there are **more employees** that can come in handy, reduce the necessary budget and feel more engaged in the whole process. Whether they do voice overs for audio training files or contribute to the company’s best practices documents, existing employees should not be overlooked. 5. ### Make sure your content is compatible with as many devices as possible It’s important to find out what are the favorite devices of your target audience. Setting to develop separate e-learning courses for the different digital devices will obviously bring costs up. But things don’t have to be this way. Opting for a **responsive design** in creating the e-learning content will ensure optimal viewing experiences upon a multitude of digital devices.

That’s precisely one of the roadblocks that companies now face day in and out. According to [Gartner](https://www.gartner.com/en/human-resources/insights/skills-gap), 70% of employees may not have the skills necessary to succeed in their current role. As a result, future possibilities, promotions, and growth could be diminished as well. Such a notable skills gap is only likely to get worse over time, particularly as businesses evolve and adapt to a new digitally-powered world, and as newer skill sets become essential. ## What is skill development? Skills development refers to the process of identifying skill gaps and fostering the acquisition of new competences through various methods such as training, mentoring, and continuous learning. Mastering skill development has become a crucial part of the career journey for both individuals and organizations. Strong development directly influences an organization’s ability to meet business objectives, adapt to industry changes, and maintain a competitive edge. ### What are the benefits of developing new skills? The benefits of thorough skills development include: - Enhanced employee performance - Encouragement to drive innovation forward - Supportive career growth and personal potential For HR professionals, corporate trainers, and learning and development professionals, understanding and implementing effective skill development strategies bridge the talent skills gap that many organizations are facing. ## The modern “skills gap” challenge Skills development offers the opportunity to upskill, reskill and cross-skill existing employees to create the ultimate workplace dream team. But before companies can do that, they must be aware of the challenges and problems that exist. Some workplace statistics indicate an alarming trend—that up to [87% of companies struggle with skills gaps](https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/sustainable-inclusive-growth/chart-of-the-day/mind-the-skills-gap) currently, or expect to face those problems within a few years. Adequate, well-tested skills development is the remedy to such a pervasive problem. ### Upskilling, reskilling and cross-skilling existing employees Continuously working with all employees through a comprehensive training program quickly increases their productivity and team contributions. - **Upskilling:**Upskilling involves the targeted improvement of current skill sets. For example, a marketing professional might learn advanced data analytics to improve marketing campaign performance over time. - **Reskilling:**Training employees in new skill sets can allow them to successfully transition to different roles. For instance, a graphic designer could be trained in UX/UI design to meet evolving digital needs. This practice helps retain and keep skilled workers, while allowing the organization to stay in tune with new industry standards. - **Cross-Skilling:** Cross-skilling means providing employees with skills that span across various departments and practical use cases. For example, an IT specialist might receive training in project management to lead tech initiatives more efficiently. (When cross-skilling, make sure that the intention is to provide employees with more knowledge, rather than to pack their current workload beyond capacity.) Pro Tip: Successful training programs always incorporate comprehensive assessments, tailored learning paths, and continuous feedback cycles. CYPHER Learning provides a user-friendly way to manage these responsibilities while saving time and resources. ### Turning training and development into a competitive advantage Showcasing the best in training and development can significantly enhance an organization’s recruitment and retention strategies. By promoting a culture of continuous learning, companies attract top talent eager to grow and innovate. According to [Tracy Arno](https://www.linkedin.com/advice/1/what-best-ways-use-employee-training-competitive-2tg4f#:~:text=Employee%20training%20is%20not%20just,%2C%20customer%20satisfaction%2C%20and%20innovation.), CEO of Essence Recruitment: “Employees want to work with companies who invest in their growth and professional development. Employees will dedicate their time and effort to an employer who cares their employees and professional growth. Investing in professional development will provide direct benefits to the company by having educated, dedicated employees who will contribute to the business plan.” This approach also boosts employee satisfaction and loyalty, reducing turnover rates. Offering [certifications and advanced training programs](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/career-development) can set your organization apart as a leader in professional development. ### Promoting from within while saving on costs Internal promotions are a win-win scenario: they save recruitment costs and motivate employees by providing clear career progression paths. Skill development programs make it easier to identify potential leaders within the organization and prepare them for greater responsibilities, including management roles. This approach not only ensures continuity within the organization, but it also leverages the existing knowledge and cultural fit of current employees. ## 3 main types of skills to develop Understanding and nurturing the following types of skills is crucial for effective skill development within an organization: ### Cognitive Cognitive skills are mental abilities such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making.  These intellectually-based skills are essential for employees who need to navigate complex tasks and develop innovative solutions to modern issues. Training programs that focus on cognitive skills often include scenario-based learning, simulations, and strategic thinking exercises. For specific teams, you can also deploy a program like [sales enablement training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/sales-enablement-training) to help team members gain new cognitive skills for better revenue results. ### Technical Technical skills are job-specific and vary across industries. They might include competencies like coding, data analysis, and machinery operation. Effective technical skill development involves hands-on training, workshops, and certification courses that are specific to each industry. For example, a business analyst might take an advanced course in SQL to improve data handling capabilities. ### Interpersonal Also known as soft skills, interpersonal skills include communication, teamwork, and leadership.  Interpersonal skills are vital for fostering a collaborative and productive work environment, even though it’s harder to track and measure them with traditional metrics. Training methods typically include role-playing, team-building exercises, and leadership coaching. For instance, a team leader might attend workshops on conflict resolution and emotional intelligence (EQ) to better navigate discussions and problems among team members. ## Identifying skills gaps with intelligent LMS To address the talent skills gap effectively, diagnose where those gaps exist. Here’s how organizations and individuals can identify and prioritize skill development needs for better long-term growth: - Conduct skills assessments: Regularly evaluate employees’ current skills against the required competencies for existing roles. CYPHER offers robust [competencies and assessment features](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/skills-development) that help identify these gaps in real-time. - Leverage personalization: Use platforms that provide [personalized learning paths](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development) based on the identified skill levels. With CYPHER, teams can avoid a generic approach that puts everyone on the same learning track, regardless of skill or existing knowledge. - **Engage in continuous feedback:**Create a feedback loop where employees can communicate their training needs, experiences, and new goals. Feedback and transparency help refine and improve development programs continuously, so that there’s always an easy way to keep up with trends and changes. ## Start your skills development journey Skills development is the first step in bridging the gap and driving organizational success. By upskilling, reskilling, and cross-skilling, leaders can strengthen teams and better ensure that they’re equipped to handle future challenges. Ready to dive into the data?

Leverage flexible learning management systems (LMS) A robust LMS is the backbone of effective online teaching, especially during disruptions. Opt for platforms that offer comprehensive features such as course creation tools, interactive discussion boards, and integrated assessment capabilities. A flexible LMS can adapt to various teaching styles and needs, making it easier to transition between in-person and online modalities as circumstances require. ## 2. Ensure resources are accessible and inclusive Inclusivity and accessibility should be at the forefront of online teaching strategies. Use diverse and multimodal content (videos, podcasts, readings) that is accessible to students with different learning preferences and needs. Additionally, consider the digital divide; provide options for low-bandwidth access and offline learning materials to ensure all students can continue their studies, regardless of their internet access quality. ## 3. Foster community and engagement The sense of isolation can be a significant challenge in online environments, more so during crises. Create a strong sense of community through regular live sessions, group discussions, and collaborative projects. Utilize breakout rooms for small group interactions and encourage peer-to-peer learning. Engagement tools like polls, quizzes, and interactive simulations can also enhance participation and keep students motivated. ## 4. Adopt asynchronous and synchronous learning Balance synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (on-demand) learning methods to provide flexibility and cater to students in different time zones or with varying schedules. Asynchronous learning allows students to learn at their own pace, while synchronous sessions offer direct interaction and real-time feedback. This blended approach ensures that education is both accessible and engaging for all students. ## 5. Provide clear communication and support Clear, consistent communication is vital, especially during disruptions. Outline expectations, schedules, and available resources at the outset. Maintain regular check-ins with students to offer support, gather feedback, and adjust teaching methods as needed. Make sure students are aware of available mental health and technical support services to help them navigate any challenges they may face. ## Implementing these tips: Continuous improvement Implementing these tips requires continuous reflection and adaptation. Solicit feedback from students to understand their needs and experiences better. Stay updated with the latest EdTech tools and pedagogical strategies to enhance your online teaching. Professional development opportunities can also provide new insights and skills for navigating online education during challenging times. ## Building resilience in education The shift to online teaching in times of disruption is not just continuity; it's leveraging adversity to innovate and improve educational practices. By adopting flexible, inclusive, and engaging teaching strategies, educators can ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn and succeed, regardless of the circumstances. As we move forward, the lessons learned during these challenging times will undoubtedly shape the future of education, making it more resilient, adaptive, and inclusive.

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) – and in particular, generative AI (GenAI) – has the potential to be as transformative as the internet. The World Economic Forum’s [Future of Jobs Report 2023](https://www.weforum.org/reports/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023/), says nearly a quarter of all jobs (23%) globally will change in the next five years, with AI being a major driver behind this large-scale shift. With so much disruption afoot, we at CYPHER Learning wanted to understand how workers feel this technological future; their hopes for how AI can shape their lives, and any concerns they may harbor. ## Key survey findings ### AI's impact on roles 78% of workers think AI will have an impact on their role within the next two years - with 38% thinking they will have to retrain as their jobs will be obsolete. 62% of workers say new technologies are reshaping their role for the better - with 46% saying AI specifically is making their job easier. ### AI skill development 73% of workers say they believe having AI skills will be important to their role over the next five years, but only 25% have had training in this area. - 53% of workers enjoy experimenting with AI - 41% of workers have used GenAI at work - 33% think AI in the workplace should be banned ### Concerns However, 57% of over 55s feel like they’re aging out of the workplace 45% of all workers believe AI will impact future job security. The data indicates the UK lags behind the US and Mexico in terms of adoption of AI, and UK respondents were also less likely to report having felt the benefits of the technology. The same is true of women, older workers and those in manual or clerical positions who have also had fewer opportunities to benefit from and experiment with AI in the workplace. The findings underscore the need for relevant, personalized and timely training to ensure everyone can adapt to and benefit from technology – especially AI. Only by creating a culture of continuous learning can we ensure that digital divides do not further deepen.

While many organizations are eager to embrace AI, studies show that a large percentage of AI projects fail without a sound strategy, robust governance, and the right skills. A critical element for success, and for overcoming the inherent skepticism many professional workers have towards AI, is establishing ethical governance. This involves refining processes, preparing people, and choosing the right technologies, all underpinned by a clear focus on trust. ## Refining your processes: Establishing L&D governance Effective AI integration in L&D begins with refining processes and establishing a clear AI governance model. This model should be specific to L&D, defining accountability and decision-making frameworks. Key topics for this governance include: principles, oversight, and alignment. ### Principles Fairness, transparency, and privacy are paramount. AI models are trained on existing data, which can carry inherent biases. It is crucial to implement safeguards to prevent AI tools from reinforcing these biases. Transparency ensures users understand how AI impacts their learning journey, fostering confidence and trust. Data protection for learners and the organization is also a top priority. ### Oversight A cross-functional accountability committee, including representatives from HR, L&D, compliance, and IT, is recommended. This committee would assess AI solutions and use cases to ensure alignment with principles and organizational initiatives. Regular reviews and audits of solutions are essential to monitor accuracy and identify any unintended consequences. ### Alignment AI initiatives must align with broader organizational priorities and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The goal is to move beyond "flashy" tools and focus on solutions that deliver tangible business value, such as improved productivity, retention, and upskilling. Change management programs are also vital to help people understand and adopt new AI solutions, whether they are new features within existing platforms or entirely new technologies. ## Preparing your people: Overcoming AI skepticism A significant barrier to AI adoption is workforce skepticism, with [54% of professional workers](https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmgsites/xx/pdf/ludes [demystifying AI](https://www.cypherlearning.com/demystifying-generative-ai), highlighting its benefits, transparently addressing concerns, providing training, fostering a culture of learning, and involving employees in the process. By prioritizing these efforts, organizations can transform skepticism into enthusiasm, leading to more successful AI integration. ### Educate your team Demystify AI by clarifying its capabilities and limitations. Provide training on different types of AI beyond just generative AI, helping teams understand how it can be applied to L&D to add genuine value. This foundation enables the identification of truly useful AI use cases versus those that are merely superficial. ### Set policies Transparent safeguards and acceptable use policies are crucial for building confidence. Aligning these with broader organizational policies ensures consistency and prepares people for the ethical use of AI. ### Manage change Proactive and transparent communication is key when rolling out new AI features. Clearly articulate the benefits to users and the organization, explaining how AI will make their lives easier, how their data is protected, and how it will contribute to overall success. ## Summary By focusing on these pillars of ethical governance – refining processes, preparing people, and aligning initiatives with clear principles and oversight – L&D can build trust in AI and leverage its power to drive significant learning impact and business value.

This has revolutionized the way organizations approach skill development, making it imperative to understand the fundamental distinctions between the old and new approach. Take a look at the key differentiators that set traditional and modern LMSs apart, shedding light on how this shift has redefined the landscape of corporate learning and development. Traditional way vs CYPHER's approach You must manually bridge the gap between content creation and delivery by using multiple, expensive platforms. Unified content development and delivery allows you to get employee training up and running faster with less people and money. Generic training paths, one-size-fits-all approach regardless of role or skill level. Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes - tuned for employee role and skill development needs. Time-consuming training that is difficult to update. AI-powered tools allow you to build personalized employee training courses in just minutes. Rigid, static content formats. Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification, making employee training engaging and fun. Isolated from HR systems leading to disjointed employee data management and training administration. Integrate with HR systems, streamlining employee data management and allowing for synchronized training and HR processes. Limited reporting and insights. Robust analytics and reporting tools, empowering HR and L&D teams to track employee progress, measure training program impact, and make data-driven decisions for continuous improvement. Isolated learning in a vacuum. Social learning in a community. You can connect with individuals who share your learning objectives through wikis, forums, chat, scrolling real-time widgets, and the Green Dot activity indicator.

A robust Learning Management System (LMS) bridges geographic divides, supports diverse learning styles, and automates complex training processes. As organizations adopt remote and flexible work models, an LMS becomes essential for delivering scalable, effective training across departments. ## Why hybrid teams require advanced LMS solutions Hybrid teams combine in-person and remote participation, enabling real-time interaction without location constraints. Businesses with 500–1000 employees spread over multiple locations face varied training needs by role and geography. They must ensure consistent learning experiences and accountability across the organization [(CYPHER Learning Blog, LMS for Hybrid Orgs, 2025)](/blog/business/lms-for-hybrid-orgs-with-500-1000-staff-cypher-learning).

Learning and Development (L&D) teams can thereby scale initiatives efficiently across departments and sites [(D2L, Hybrid vs Blended Learning, 2025)](https://www.d2l.com/blog/hybrid-learning-vs-blended-learning/). ## Core features that enable scalable hybrid training ### 1.

Some employees are in the office, some are at , some are traveling for work, and some do all three at various times. There's an interesting generational mix with unique expectations the future of work. As companies strive to provide adequate training and development opportunities, adapting to various learning needs is critical. Personalized corporate training has never been more important, especially since so many other digital experiences are personally tailored—from ads, to social media feeds, to streamed content. Now, learners crave corporate learning that’s personalized. Traditional, linear training is no longer the only solution. To better [engage learners](/solutions/employee-training), organizations now need learning management systems (LMSs) that offer flexibility and customization. ## AI learning platform for personalized corporate training CYPHER, an AI learning platform, caters to the specific needs of a modern and highly digital corporate environment. The process is learner-centric, while also catering to the challenges and needs of designers and instructors. CYPHER is the only all-in-one AI learning platform that combines the capabilities of [LMS, LXP, and course development](/platform). This comes with many advantages: - **A lighter workload for trainers**. AI learning can automatically recommend courses and groups based on learners goals. This greatly reduces the quantity of manual work needed to curate and assign training to each employee. The automation feature ensures a seamless, personalized learning experience from beginning to end. - **Course creation based on YOUR content**: Upload your proprietary content (PDF, video, DOC, etc.) to create courses based primarily on your brand, tone, and policies - gaps are filled in with Internet content. You have the power to customize and edit your course the way you want. CYPHER will help take you 80% there giving you a huge head start. Upload new skills or choose from 3,000+ pre-loaded skills. Everything can be automatically mapped to skills, assessments, and gamification. - **Enriched content**. With CYPHER, not only can instructors stop worrying handpicking and delivering the right learning content for each employee, but there's also a wealth of content from third-party providers (such as Coursera, edX, Mind Tools, LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, or Go1). This information is part of the available recommendations pool, which greatly expands content options. Greater diversity ensures greater personalization. - **Enhanced learning paths** within the CYPHER platform ensure that no one falls behind in achieving their goals. Comprehensive learning paths string together seamlessly various learning resources (online courses, assessments, video content, and more). - **Setting learning goals** helps learners reach their career objectives based on particular competencies. Based on what the learner wants to achieve, they can get personalized, proactive assistance in the form of recommendations. - **Progress tracking** is essential in employee development. With an AI learning platform, you have an overview of the goals and competencies that the learners are mastering. This helps instructors see how employees are progressing through the training materials and allow them to intervene when there's a need for support. - **Adding skills or competencies** to groups is another highly useful feature of an AI learning platform. This will allow learners who have mastery of specific competencies to interact with peers with the same interests and goals. - **AI learning platforms foster a sense of community**. Social interaction stimulates learners to be more engaged, even when they are not sharing the same physical space with their peers. - **Cost-effectiveness is also a big plus**. Personalized corporate training usually requires a higher investment but having an AI learning platform saves money in the long run as L&D specialists have a lighter workload. Employees perform better on their jobs and are more satisfied with their training experience. Read more: [The difference between a modern LMS and conventional systems](/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-for-businesses/) ## How to create a personalized corporate training program using an AI learning platform CYPHER offers all the features you need to make informed decisions, even as you build learning strategies for your corporate training. ### Setting learning objectives For corporate learning to be truly personalized, the employee needs to be in charge of setting [learning objectives](https://trainingmag.com/7-steps-to-writing-learning-objectives-for-employee-training/) that are most relevant to them. Whether these are related to performing better in a current role or moving up the corporate ladder, AI learning gives the learner the power of choice. For example, someone who is a Junior Learning Specialist can set becoming a “Learning Executive” or a “Learning Consultant” as a goal. *A high-level overview gives learners a snapshot of new goals and objectives.* Within an all-in-one platform like CYPHER, employees can easily see their learning goals, whether those are self-created or provided by managers and team leaders. Managers can also set objectives for their individual learners or entire teams. With defined goals the platform automatically recommends competencies related to that particular objective. Furthermore, AI learning tools can assess existing skills mastery in order to gauge the skills gap or provide personalized recommendations. A platform like CYPHER also connects individual learners with groups to help them achieve desired competencies. ### Setting training skills or competencies [Skill or competency-based learning](/solutions/skills-development) is an innovative approach to training. The learner moves from a basic level to a higher one based on mastery assessment and progress. This is different from mastery based on time spent on a particular course. **The focus is on acquiring the right knowledge and gaining the appropriate skills.** With CYPHER, you can set up skills or competencies for individual goals or job roles. For example, suppose you are designing a course for a Junior Marketing Specialist. In this case, you can make a list of all the individual skills that a person in this role needs to master. *New fundamentals are learned incrementally, with a clear outline of the learner’s progress.* You can even upload skills or competencies into the resources library of your organization so everyone can access and benefit from them. With CYPHER, you can also tag individual skills or competencies to specific modules you create and to various assessments. *See how far learners have come with real-time Coverage data.* Doing this helps you get a good idea how well various skills are covered by specific training material. Trainers, managers, L&D pros, and HR pros can also quickly identify where there are knowledge gaps. ### Offering an extensive course catalog Modern learners want to have all the available knowledge at their fingertips. And with such a wealth of quality content available on the open market, restricting options can lead to lower engagement levels. Because not everything on the internet is checked with quality standards, it’s important to leverage reliable providers like Coursera, edX, Mind Tools, [Udemy](https://www.udemy.com/), [Go1](https://www.go1.com/), and [LinkedIn Learning](https://www.linkedin.com/learning/). *A learning catalog offers greater variety for the most important industry topics.* Some learning platforms, like CYPHER Learning, offer direct integration of these providers’ courses into the course catalog. This feature is useful for both in-house content creation and for hosting third-party content. Having a wide variety of content—courses, videos, podcasts, conference talks, and e-books— is helpful for instructional designers who need to save time and effort when building new learning paths from the ground up. ### Creating learning paths Traditionally, corporate training consisted of different courses, which were assigned to learners. Learners had to go through each course in its entirety, even if they had already mastered some of the skills. Once they achieved a certain percentage, they passed and earned a certification. *Easy-to-use modules show which lessons are next and how much time is required to complete them.* CYPHER Learning breaks from this outdated structure and employs learning paths as well. Employee learning paths can be dynamic and show a wider range of content, such as videos, written text, and other delivery methods. A learning path might consist of a course, followed by a video and an article. This enables employees to learn necessary skills from one course without having to learn all of the skills that aren’t applicable to their specific role. ### Enabling learning recommendations With AI, you can also [provide adaptive learning](/blog/business/predictive-learning-analytics) to employees based on their previous experience and performance. For example, if an employee performs well on a quiz, the platform can automatically reveal more advanced materials. On the other hand, if the results on that same quiz are low, remedial materials can be available. Administrators can configure the recommendations to automatically deliver various resources based on multiple factors. *Learners get personalized recommendations based on their goals and performance.* Let’s say the platform detects that an employee is on their way to mastery of a specific objective, but they’re struggling with a particular competency. In that case, an AI learning platform can generate specific recommendations to bridge the gap. Whether it's courses, assignments, or mentoring opportunities, many AI learning platforms will automatically send the learner content suggestions based on their performance and goals without requiring a new needs analysis from the instructor. ### Using learning analytics CYPHER’s AI learning platform also comes with a comprehensive set of analytics and reporting tools that can help businesses get relevant information the organization’s training activities. In turn, this data is valuable for creating personalized learning strategies for corporate training. You can see learner progress, activity timelines, and run assessment analytics to check individual performance. *The AI learning platform’s analytics features can evaluate mastery level for the various competencies associated with a learner's goal.* A suitable platform also offers pre-built, [automated reports](/blog/business/12-types-of-lms-reports) to retrieve data with a recurring set of specifications. For this type of quick reporting, you have the option of integrating dashboard widgets for displaying the data in various formats. All these features are instrumental in building learning programs that are tailored to the specific needs of the individual while supporting the organizational objectives. ## Common challenges and solutions Learning and Development (L&D) professionals and corporate trainers are often on the front lines of this transformation. This means that they often face the daunting task of tailoring learning experiences in a sustainable and efficient way. To avoid roadblocks, it’s helpful to know ahead of time which challenges are most common and how to navigate them. ### Scalability concerns As organizations grow, workforce diversity changes as well. Scaling personalized learning to accommodate a growing number of learners, each with unique learning paths, can strain resources and complicate content integration goals. ### Lack of expertise Designing truly personalized learning content demands a more rigorous understanding of instructional design principles, learning theories, and technology innovations. When organizations lack in-house expertise in these areas, personalized learning goals often stall. By outsourcing some of these processes and investing in a suitable platform, enterprises can get over the hurdle of not having the right resources. ### Balance of personal and organizational goals It can be difficult to find the sweet spot—where personalized learning initiatives align with overarching business objectives and revenue priorities. Organizations often struggle to maintain this balance, risking either the effectiveness of their individual learning programs or their broad strategic alignment. It’s therefore crucial to strike a good balance. Give employees lifelong skills they’ll need to succeed in their careers. At the same time, prioritize educating them on corporate values and vision that are essential for long-term growth. ## How to solve and approach these challenges ### Leverage AI Artificial Intelligence (AI), like [CYPHER Agent](/ai360) [course creation technology](/tour/content-development-and-delivery) can revolutionize personalized learning. By automating course creation, AI can deliver tailored content more efficiently. ### Invest in professional development To bridge skills gaps, organizations must consider investing in the professional development of their L&D, HR, and training staff. Prioritizing workshops, certification programs, or conferences that focus on latest trends in personalized learning, instructional design, and LMS technology can take your plans to the next level. ### Align with business objectives To ensure personalized learning programs support organizational goals, ask stakeholders for input during planning. Collaborating can help identify the most important competencies and business objectives that personalized learning initiatives should address. Implementing feedback also provides insights into how well these programs satisfy broader business goals. ### Choose the best LMS Selecting a platform that offers industry-leading personalization is crucial. Look for platforms like CYPHER that support adaptive learning paths, AI integration, and comprehensive reporting or analytics.The right LMS should offer scalability, user-friendly design, and integration to your organization’s existing tech stack. ## Personalized corporate training made possible AI learning platforms offer an easier way to create personalized corporate training. Advanced features and customization options provide dynamic solutions to all training requests. With all the training data available in comprehensive reports, the targeted recommendations based on job titles and learning objectives, and a large library of in-house and third-party content, an AI learning platform is the ideal solution for creating and delivering personalized training programs.

They provide international education to children. The campus comprises fully equipped premises with state-of-the-art facilities. Their mission is to develop a lifelong learning community, by encouraging individuals to explore their identities and roles as local actors and global citizens. The journey to learning is a holistic one and it happens through inquiry, expression, and reflection. “CYPHER has definitely made life easier. It has helped me become more organized as a teacher.

As management, we had some challenges in trying to figure out a way to maximize experiential learning in the classroom. The only way to do that at that point was to try and find a platform that would both fit synchronous and asynchronous learning. Mashal Farrukh, integrated humanities teacher: We live in technology-oriented times, and students don’t really like opening books. Most of the students do not enjoy reading books, but with the new LMS, they really like navigating. I’ve observed the student’s response when I’m teaching the content and it has improved drastically. “We had some challenges in trying to figure out a way to maximize experiential learning in the classroom.” Ali Jaffery, Curriculum Coordinator ## The solution Ali Jaffery, Curriculum Coordinator: The platform helped us tremendously in terms of replacing traditional textbooks and workbooks. It allowed us to do a lot of asynchronous assignments and that gave us more time for experienced-based activities. The LMS platform has allowed a unique perspective on how to engage the parent community in our school. We were able to add a bit of teacher training into our parent program. Mashal Farrukh, integrated humanities teacher: The software allowed us to keep track of student progress in a very smooth way. It has also allowed us to communicate with the students, they can drop us a message at any time of the day regarding any confusion they have and it’s very easy for us to answer those queries. ### Features - **Ease of use:** Everything that we learn in class is also written in our lessons in CYPHER. This makes it easier to study for the test or even for a normal revision. Our teachers can also tell us what we lack or what we can do to improve in the comment section of assignments - Hajra Usman, Student MYP1 (6th grade) - **Communication:** One of the many things that I like CYPHER is that we can send messages to our teachers and even our friends. This way, if I’m confused an assignment, I can simply message my teacher without needing their number - Hajra Usman, Student MYP1 (6th grade) - **Navigation:** I like how user-friendly it is. When I first joined LGSi, it did not take me long to get used to the platform and navigate through it. CYPHER allows for students and teachers to stay in , which helps us to better communicate and prepare for tasks, like presentations - Saad Salman, Student MYP 5 (10th grade) - **Accessibility:** CYPHER has helped me a lot during online learning. For example, if I have missed an online class, our teachers record those meetings and upload them on CYPHER LMS so I can view them - Ayesha Butt, Student MYP1 (6th grade) - **Flexibility:** All of our children were viewing the same materials at the same time. The lessons were available for everyone, students could talk it at the same time, they could even read it at the same time. Those are emotional and social factors that all parents were concerned , but they were addressed. My parent account on CYPHER has been of great benefit because all I need to do is log in and I’m able to access all the information: how my child is doing, how much he has learned, what is the progress, what is the percentage of the progress, and teacher’s remarks. Through my parent account, I can access the LMS anytime and I can check my child’s progress, assignments, connect to the teacher, and seek help or guidance - it makes it simple and easy - Mahnoor Kazmi, parent “The software allowed us to keep track of student progress in a very smooth way.” Mashal Farrukh, integrated humanities teacher ## The results - With CYPHER Learning®, LGSI observed enhanced student response and performance - CYPHER facilitated the replacement of traditional textbooks and workbooks, allowing for more asynchronous assignments and experiential activities - Parents perceived the transition positively, appreciating the accessibility of learning materials, real-time progress tracking, and seamless communication Mashal Farrukh, integrated humanities teacher: It’s definitely helped to improve student performance. It shifted a lot of responsibility from teachers to students. Online learning brings many challenges. Motivation is an issue, just like how being organized is difficult for both teachers and students. CYPHER really made it easy, the online experience is very convenient especially for us. I’m sure that when we’ll return to in-person teaching that is going to be more efficient. Rimsha Irfan, Science Teacher: I feel like parents have become more involved in the academics of their children as they are now able to track each and every assignment. They are able to track all the course materials and their child’s performance. CYPHER has definitely made life easier. It has helped me become more organized as a teacher. It’s great to have everything in one place. This is easier for the teacher as well because you don’t have to use different software for assignments, different software to upload content, and so on. Having your assignments, attendance, content, and tests in one place is really great for the teacher, as well as the student. “It’s definitely helped to improve student performance. It shifted a lot of responsibility from teachers to students.” Mashal Farrukh, integrated humanities teacher ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice? We'd love to hear from you.

Fortunately, three years ago the educational authorities made the decision to use CYPHER as the official platform of Colegio Miraflores. ### Implementation **"**Ever since its implementation, CYPHER has allowed us to develop new methodologies, work by project, work by group and, work not only physically but also electronically" said Dan Gerson Rodríguez Cazares, Teacher. "Thanks to CYPHER, we can design content, communicate directly with our students, provide feedback for each of their activities, check the gradebook at any time and generate more dynamic activities within the classroom." ### Features "The calendar gives me the freedom to complete the work in my own time and prepare for exams in advance. Once you have submitted your assignments, your teachers grade them and you see your results right away. Lastly, if you are missing something, it allows you to communicate with your peers or students easily" saidDuna, Student. "Teachers use CYPHER to evaluate us. They use either multiple-choice questions or open questions. As students, we work on essays or projects on the same platform or they divide the class into teams so that we can collaborate. There is also a Forum where we can discuss different topics as a class and we can vote for the answer we like best. The calendar gives an overview of the upcoming tasks which is good for completing tasks in our own time." “Thanks to CYPHER, we can design content, communicate directly with our students, provide feedback for each of their activities, check the gradebook at any time and generate more dynamic activities within the classroom.” Dan Gerson Rodríguez Cazares, Teacher ## The results - Adoption of CYPHER improved educational dynamics, fostering new teaching methodologies and enhanced communication, ultimately enhancing engagement and effectiveness - Enhanced student experience by enabling easy access to course materials, prompt feedback, and collaboration - Streamlined workflow and collaboration, providing practical features for assignment management Duna, a student at Colegio Miraflores said "I like CYPHER because it’s very practical, easy to use, and has many features.

By aligning these three pillars, L&D can transform AI from a collection of projects into a true driver of business value. ## Pillar 1: Refining your processes Process refinement is essential for clear decision-making and impact, especially since up to half of all AI tools fail to deliver the desired outcomes. This pillar requires establishing clear guardrails and strategic alignment: - **Set L&D governance:** Create an AI governance model specific to L&D, defining who is accountable and how decisions are made. - **Establish key topics for governance:** Focus on Principles (Fairness, Transparency, Privacy), Oversight (cross-functional committee review, auditing), and Alignment (strategic fit with organizational priorities and defined KPIs). - **Strategic Planning:** Assess risks, list use cases (ranking them by usefulness and value), and unify a long-term strategy that aligns with your goals and business-focused KPIs. ## Pillar 2: Preparing your people People and their readiness for change are the biggest drivers of success, particularly since 54% of people remain wary of AI. Building trust and competence is paramount: - **Educate your team:** Demystify AI by clarifying what it can and can't do. Provide training on the different kinds of AI and discuss which uses genuinely add value versus those that are just "flash." - **Set policies:** Identify safeguards and align your organization’s policies for acceptable use of AI with your specific L&D goals. - **Manage change:** Roll out new AI features with transparent, proactive communications. Articulate the clear benefit of new features to both users and the larger organization. ## Pillar 3: Choosing the right technologies The explosion of AI in HR tech has made decision-making complex. When choosing a solution, L&D leaders must evaluate both value and risk, moving beyond surface-level capabilities: - **Integration:** Ask how seamless the experience is, whether data leaves the system, and if the AI is a native part of the product's DNA or simply layered over the top. The level of integration drives how much the solution can truly accomplish. - **Capabilities:** Demand a demonstration of real intelligence that goes beyond basic text generation. Ask what pieces are automated, what control users have for review, and how confident you can be in the outcomes. - **Vision:** Assess the vendor's long-term vision. Does it align with your goals? Are they anticipating future changes in the market, and are they building the technology to keep pace? ## Tying it all together: AI with impact The final step is to ensure AI initiatives are not just busywork but are aligned with clear business drivers. This alignment guarantees that L&D is supporting core organizational goals: - **Productivity:** Use AI to improve onboarding or process enablement. - **Retention & agility:** Create new, necessary courses quickly and provide tools for career growth to keep top talent. - **Upskilling/reskilling:** Keep skills lists current and offer learning that aligns to them. AI is a tool that can transform learning goals (e.g., Improved onboarding, more responsive course delivery, skills-aligned learning) into reality through solutions like [automated course creation](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360), [personalized learning agents](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-learners), and [skills mapping](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/skills-development) to course content. By establishing a robust strategy around the three pillars, L&D can effectively leverage AI to address business concerns and drive significant learning impact.

Games are **fun, engaging, and hold the users’ attention** for hours. The entertainment component is necessary, as people remember information better by positive association, but it’s not the only thing that matters. While all of that is true, and many **instructional designers employ game mechanics in e-learning design**, there are also several pitfalls to be aware of: 1. ### Overly complicating things If it takes too long to read and understand the rules, people will just give up. There is no need to come up with **intricate point systems** or **complicated leaderboards**. Directions have to be **simple** and **straightforward**. It needs to be clear for the learner what the reward is and what task needs to be performed. 2. ### Playing the competition card too much Games are based on competition. However, a great **emphasis on ranks and points** in e-learning modules may alienate some learners. That hurts the knowledge acquisition process. One way to avoid that is to allow users to choose whether they want to **display their results** or not. 3. ### Unappealing rewards Using these will dampen engagement. The “prize” has to be both **desirable** and **worth the effort**. The key is to select game mechanics that align with the **desired behaviors** or **learning objectives**. Badges that attest to a certain skill level and can be displayed on the learner’s profile are a popular choice. 4. ### Making rewards seem more important than results Rewards are only supposed to be the means to an end. E-learning badges and points **motivate online learners**, keep their attention, and fuel their engagement. This is why e-learning designers should **start from the objectives** and then determine how game mechanics can help achieve them, not the other way around. 5. ### Frustrating beginners This is a possible consequence of gamifying online learning content. It’s easy to fall into the trap of celebrating the “rockstar performers” while seemingly ignoring novice learners’ attempts. In the design process, it is essential to **build tasks and levels** into the gamified course designed for **all categories of learners**. 6. ### Using the wrong metrics In online games, it’s usually all the quest and moving on to the next level. Passing means success, regardless of how it happened. When it comes to learning, **metrics need to be framed as a journey** — not merely “you failed or you won” but “this is where you started from, this is where you got, and this is how far you need to go to reach the next level”. 7. ### Overusing rewards Instructional designers might feel tempted to throw in too many rewards. The **reward structure of any game** plays a significant role in its success. If users continuously get points, badges, and rewards with minimal effort, they will stop taking the course seriously. The **feeling of achievement** requires some effort. 8. ### Forgoing the social learning experience When designing gamified e-learning, it’s easy to **focus on individual objectives** and miss out on **social interaction and sharing**. Instead of driving a solitary experience, designers should build spaces where learners can **discuss their progress, exchange ideas** complex situations, and celebrate success together. 9. ### Thinking short-term only Instant gratification is one of the main reasons why games are so engaging. However, organizational learning aims to **change behavior in the long term**, so the gamification approach to e-learning should be seen as a project instead of separate stand-alone occurrences for each module. 10. ### Needlessly complicating the user experience This usually happens when instructional designers focus too much on gamification mechanics. A **good user experience** is essential for online courses, so easy navigation should have priority over any gamification elements. **Engaged and immersed learners** don’t fumble with scrolls, buttons, and arrows.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Adapting teaching methods to meet the evolving needs of technologically inclined students - Integrating a digital platform to complement traditional classroom teaching methods effectively We know that our students have different needs to what they had several years ago. They are much more interested in technological devices and we wanted to stay up to date. We needed a platform that would allow us to communicate with the students quickly and immediately. One that would have many possibilities so that teachers of various subjects would be able to use it according to their particular way of teaching and their needs, that are very different for each subject. It was clear to us that we needed to have this kind of tool to complement the physical classroom with a digital way of being in with the students, sharing things with them, and having them also share their work with us. “We needed a platform that would allow us to communicate with the students quickly and immediately.” Dr. Joana Rigato, Philosophy Teacher ## The results - Enhanced communication and engagement with students through multimedia interaction - Streamlined evaluation and grading process for student work, fostering immediate feedback and assessment CYPHER's LMS is a useful platform that we have been using in so many different ways. I like how I can share material with the students and have them, for example, make a video at in which they are telling me what they know and what they think a particular author. For example, I share with them several videos and several documents and I organize the students into groups. In the groups, they discuss a specific problem that I raise during a Zoom class. After the class ends and I have shared with them various materials, which can be a PowerPoint, videos, even quizzes for them to do, then they go ahead and discuss the class in groups and I ask them to make videos to share their ideas and share them with me using CYPHER. For example, when working as a group, they have some questions that they answered through CYPHER. So, they upload their answers. They upload their videos all through CYPHER, and I can evaluate them and grade all their work easily. It's immediate, and it's effortless. “CYPHER's LMS is a useful platform that we have been using in so many different ways.

Smart people, dedicated workers, eager to grow. So why does it feel like you’re constantly putting out fires instead of watching your employees thrive? It’s not a lack of talent. It’s a lack of training—at least, the kind of on the job training that sticks and solves problems. Most employee training programs miss the mark because they’re built to check professional development boxes rather than change outcomes. They could be generic, outdated, or disconnected from daily work. Effective employee training programs provide a real competitive advantage and help organizations stay competitive in their industry. By fostering innovation, improving productivity, and adapting to changing market needs, they help organizations stay competitive. This guide walks you through how to build an [employee training program](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/employee-training) that works—for your people and your business. We’ll cover the key benefits of building a program that supports both employees and organizational goals, focusing on solving real-world problems. Because when training is done right, employees stay longer, work smarter, and grow into the roles you need tomorrow. ## Employee training deserves more Think back to your last [onboarding](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/onboarding) experience—or the last time your team got “trained.” Was it a PDF, a rushed Zoom call, or a series of outdated modules no one really paid attention to? The data is clear: Companies that invest in real, continuous employee development see higher retention. People are more productive, more confident, and more likely to step into leadership roles when needed. Effective training programs also drive employee engagement, leading to a more committed and satisfied workforce. Employee training is now your competitive edge. Training not only supports personalized individual growth, but it also shapes company culture and reinforces company values, helping to create a positive organizational environment. ## What a good training program really looks like Let’s start by redefining what employee training means. It’s not just getting new hires up to speed or checking off compliance notes. It’s giving every employee (from day one to year ten) a path to grow, solve problems, and do their best work. What that looks like in practice: - **Onboarding that sticks:**Employee orientation is essential for every new employee. A great orientation helps them understand how they contribute and who to turn to when they’re stuck. - [Job-specific training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/career-development) to enable employees: Think software skills, tools, and systems. Employees should know how to do the work expected of them—and how to adapt as that work evolves. Read the case study: [Elevating careers with promotions](https://www.cypherlearning.com/best-practices/gentell) - **Leadership development that launches people to success:** If you want internal promotions (and who doesn’t?), train employees to lead long before they need the title. - **Soft skills and communication skills that improves workflows:**Most performance issues aren’t technical but human. Communication, conflict resolution, time management are trainable, critical skills that everyone needs and benefits from. - **DEI and cultural training that represents your values:**A more inclusive workplace isn’t just good for morale—it’s better for performance and innovation. A comprehensive development program includes a variety of learning programs and training courses tailored to different employee needs. The best programs blend these elements based on each team’s needs, using flexible formats that fit around real workloads. ## Types of training initiatives Not all employee training is created equal. Different goals call for separate approaches and common business problems. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most widely-used training initiatives you’ll find in successful organizations: - Technical training: This is all [building job-specific skills](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development), whether it’s mastering a new software, learning how to operate machinery, or staying up to date with industry tools. Technical training ensures employees can perform their job duties efficiently and adapt as technology evolves. - **Soft skills training:**Communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence are just as important as technical know-how. Soft skills training helps employees navigate workplace dynamics, resolve conflicts, and build stronger relationships with colleagues and customers. - Compliance training: Required by law or company policy, [compliance training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance) covers essential topics like workplace safety, anti-harassment, data privacy, and industry regulations. It protects both your employees and your business. - **Customer service training:** For teams that interact with clients or customers, this training initiative focuses on delivering exceptional service, handling complaints, and building loyalty. - **Leadership training:** Preparing future leaders starts early. Leadership training develops management skills, decision-making, and the ability to inspire and guide teams. - **Safety training:**Especially important in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, or construction, safety training teaches employees how to prevent accidents and respond to emergencies. - **Onboarding training:**New employees need a solid introduction to your company’s processes, culture, and expectations. Onboarding training helps them hit the ground running and feel like part of the team from day one. By mixing and matching these training initiatives, you can create a well-rounded program that supports every stage of the employee journey. ## What’s getting in the way? Before we jump into building a training program, let’s name the blockers that trip up most companies: Failing to identify the knowledge gap and specific training needs can undermine the effectiveness of any training program. ### Time Employees are already stretched thin. You want them learning—but you also need them working. The solution? Microlearning. Bite-sized lessons (think 10–15 minutes) that fit between tasks and don’t disrupt the day. ### Budget Training feels expensive—until you start calculating the cost of high turnover or bad hires. You may not need the most expensive training sessions, but you do need a program that's smart, focused, and scalable. ### Engagement People don’t want to sit through boring videos or generic lectures. They want relevant, real-world training that helps them do their jobs better by directly improving employee skills. That’s why interactive content, peer-led sessions, and real scenarios matter more than flashy software. ### One-size-fits-all content Your IT team needs different training than your customer service reps. Segment training by role, experience level, development goals, and business unit to ensure training is relevant to each part of the organization. ## Effective program models There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to building a training program. The most effective training and development programs use a mix of models to match different learning styles and business needs: - **Instructor-led training:** Traditional classroom or virtual sessions led by an expert. Great for interactive discussions, hands-on practice, and immediate feedback. - **Online courses:**Flexible and scalable, online courses let employees learn at their own pace, whether they’re brushing up on technical skills or exploring professional development topics. - **Hands-on training:**Learning by doing is often the fastest way to master new skills. Hands-on training puts employees in real or simulated work situations so they can practice skills and build confidence. - **Blended learning:**Combines instructor-led training, online courses, and hands-on activities for a comprehensive approach that appeals to different learning preferences. - [Microlearning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/exploring-ai-powered-training-assistants): Short, focused training modules that employees can complete in just a few minutes. Perfect for busy schedules and reinforcing key concepts over time. - **Mentoring and coaching:**Pairing employees with experienced mentors or coaches provides ongoing support, guidance, and feedback—helping them achieve professional growth and career development. By providing employees with a variety of training program models, you enable them to learn in ways that work best for them, driving better business outcomes and supporting continuous development. ## How to build a training program that employees will use Creating a structured training plan is essential, combining both informal and formal training elements to ensure comprehensive employee development. Let's walk through how to do that in a way that reshapes and improves your training process. ### Step 1: Find the gaps Don’t start with content. Start with listening. Ask: What’s breaking down in performance? Where are employees struggling? What skills do you need more of in six months? Run a quick skills audit or survey to get honest feedback from both employees and their managers. This helps you prioritize the training that actually solves problems. Identifying knowledge gaps is essential for targeting the right training interventions. ### Step 2: Set goals that matter Training isn’t “learning stuff.” It’s changing behavior. So every training module needs a clear, specific goal tied to business results. For example: - Don't use: “Teach better customer service.” - Instead, use: “Reduce customer complaint calls by 20% by improving listening and conflict resolution skills.” Setting clear training goals not only drives business outcomes but also supports employees in achieving career success by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed for professional growth. Keep goals measurable and time-bound. That’s how you’ll prove it’s working. ### Step 3: Choose the appropriate format There’s no single best way to train—it depends on the skill and your team. Here are your options to practice skills and help employees learn: - **Instructor-led training:**Great for soft skills, leadership, and complex topics. This format involves a structured training session, allowing live Q&A and hands-on practice. - **E-learning platforms:**Scalable and convenient. Perfect for compliance, technical skills, and self-paced learning. - **On-the-job training:**Pair new employees with mentors. Ideal for role-specific skills and company processes. - **Simulations and role-play:**Best for sales, service, and leadership training. Helps employees practice before it’s real. - **Microlearning:** Fits into busy schedules. Great for updates, quick tips, and reinforcement. Mix and match based on what your team needs—and give people choices when possible. ### Step 4: Build with the employee in mind Let's be real—no one wants to sit through a 90-minute webinar at 4pm on a Friday. Instead: - Break content into short, focused lessons. - Use real examples from your company or industry. - Include interactive quizzes, discussions, or challenges. - Offer mobile-friendly versions for on-the-go learning. - Make it practical. Show exactly how skills apply to the employee’s role. Practical training not only enhances professional abilities but also supports personal growth by helping employees achieve their individual aspirations and develop new skills. ### Step 5: Test before you launch Run a pilot with a small team. Ask what worked, what didn’t, and where they got stuck. Use this feedback to tweak content and delivery before rolling it out to the entire company. It’s easier to fix a small program than to redo a big one. ## Implementing digital solutions Digital tools have transformed the way organizations approach employee training and development. By leveraging technology, you can make learning more accessible, engaging, and effective for everyone: - Learning Management Systems (LMS): [LMS platforms](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lms) organize and deliver training sessions, track progress, and provide employees with easy access to development programs and resources. - **Online courses and virtual training sessions:**Employees can participate in training and development opportunities from anywhere, at any time—making it easier to fit learning into busy schedules and accommodate remote or hybrid teams. - **Digital adoption platforms:**These tools offer personalized, interactive guidance within the flow of work, helping employees bridge skill gaps and quickly master new digital tools or processes. - **Self-paced learning:**Online courses and digital resources enable employees to learn at their own pace, increasing job satisfaction and retention by giving them control over their professional growth. By investing in a suitable option, you'll provide employees with flexible, scalable training options that enable them to develop new skills, improve performance, and stay engaged—no matter where they are. ## How to keep training from going stale Most training fails not because it was bad—but because it never got updated. Here’s how to keep yours fresh: - Review content every 6–12 months to update examples, fix errors, and reflect company changes. - Collect feedback after every training—and act on it. - Track performance changes after each program. Are employees actually doing things differently? - Celebrate completions. Badges, shoutouts, and promotions tied to training help it feel worth the time. Ongoing training shouldn’t feel like a chore. It should feel like progress. Fostering a culture of continuous learning ensures your training stays relevant and effective as technology and business needs evolve. ## Fostering employee retention Investing in employee training is a powerful way to drive employee retention. When you offer meaningful training programs and development opportunities, you show that you’re committed to professional growth and career advancement, which helps employees feel valued. Training and development can help you keep your best people: - **Development programs:** Structured learning paths and professional development courses help employees see a future with your company, reducing the temptation to look elsewhere. - **Training and development opportunities:**Regular access to new skills, leadership training, and team building activities keeps employees engaged and motivated. - **Recognition and engagement:**Employees who feel valued and supported are more likely to stay. Recognition programs, mentorship, and clear development opportunities all contribute to a positive work environment. - **Career advancement:**When employees know they can grow and move up within your organization, they’re more likely to invest their energy and loyalty in your business. Prioritizing employee training and development builds a stronger, more capable team. Plus, you'll be creating a workplace where employees want to stay and succeed. ## What does employee training solve? Let’s recap. A strong employee training program can help you: - Reduce turnover (employees stay where they grow). - Improve performance (less rework, fewer mistakes). - Promote from within (saving hiring costs and time). - Improve customer satisfaction (employees handle issues better). - Offer leadership skills (create more advancement opportunities from within). - Adapt faster to change (upskill quickly when roles shift). - Enable employees to take on new challenges and responsibilities. - Equip employees with the skills and knowledge needed to adapt to changing business needs. - Drive employee growth and long-term success. Each of these business-critical outcomes make a positive difference on both a personal and corporate level. It's a win-win for all. ## What to do next—your quick start plan for development Ready to provide employee learning programs that are different from anything you've offered before? Here’s how to get started today: 1. **Talk to your team:**Ask managers and employees where they need more support, and assess the needs of your current employees to identify skill gaps and opportunities for growth. 2. **Pick one problem:**Choose a single area where training could move the needle. 3. **Set one goal:** Make it clear and measurable. 4. **Pilot a small program:** Use existing tools or quick videos—don’t wait for perfection. 5. **Track what happens:**What improves? What doesn’t? 6. **Scale up or pivot:** Use the results to expand or adjust your approach. Focusing on development employee training helps organizations develop talent from within, ensuring your team is prepared for future challenges. You don’t need a corporate university to build an employee training program that works. You just need to start with your people. ## Wrapping up Employee training is solving real problems— low engagement, high turnover, missed goals, and stalled growth. Targeted training for specific groups, such as the sales team or experienced employees, can address unique challenges and help drive better results. If you’re willing to listen, adapt, and invest in your people, you’ll build more than a smarter workforce. You’ll build a stronger, more resilient business. Training that covers the company's processes ensures everyone is aligned and effective in their roles. The best part? Employees will thank you with better work, stronger loyalty, and a willingness to grow alongside your company. Plan for success.

They are useful for creating better courses, selling them easier and staying relevant to your learners. Creating a buyer persona can be a bit tricky at first, but with research and the following tips, you’ll do just fine. 1. ### Data your learners A buyer persona refers to the **composite image of your learners**. This includes details on where they get their information from, who they are, where to find them, and more. 2. ### An identity Having a name and a face for your persona helps you **visualize what your ideal learner looks like**. Then you can relate to them and adjust your branding and marketing message accordingly. 3. ### Their background Based on the specific of your courses, you can **gather relevant information** on your buyer personas. For example, some templates include their job, the industry that they work in, age and location. 4. ### How they search for information People have **different ways of consuming data**, so it’s not easy to know where to find them. Still, it’s helpful to gather data on how certain demographics use social media, for example. 5. ### What are their pain points? Making **generalized assumptions** what people want is wrong. You need to find out their main challenges, what bothers them, and how they tried to solve those issues. 6. ### Need specifics Try not to base your buyer persona on a single person that you know, yourself included! Instead, **do your own research** to find out specific information. 7. ### Keep it real Putting things together can leave you with **some inconsistencies**. You also need to find out their daily schedule, what type of tech they use and other facts that make them a “real person”. 8. ### Who to interview? Buyer persona interviews help you determine your ideal customer. Current or past learners are **ideal candidates** but interviewing those who fit the buyer persona profile also works. 9. ### How many people to talk to? There is no magic number as it depends on where you are in your knowledge entrepreneurship journey. However, the **quality of data** is more relevant than the quantity. 10. ### How to structure an interview? Prepare a list of questions, but don’t hold on too much to it. Allow them to talk freely and reflect their **buying habits** if you want a useful answer. 11. ### What to look for? Demographic data is good, but not enough to learn how, when and why they make a decision. You need details their **mindsets, motivations, goals and behaviors**. 12. ### Listen and take notes Recording answers during interviews is a good idea, but only when you ask for permission first. Taking notes is also vital, but asking **the right questions**, including the tough ones, will help you create better content.

Así es como el aprendizaje personalizado se convirtió en la clave de todo nuevo enfoque de aprendizaje y enseñanza. El aprendizaje personalizado se crea para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de su nivel académico o edad, para ayudarlos a alcanzar su potencial, despertando su motivación interior y su impulso personal, y desarrollando todas las habilidades necesarias para dominar la resolución de problemas y tomar las riendas del aprendizaje. El aprendizaje personalizado pone el proceso de aprendizaje en manos de los estudiantes, los anima a adueñarse de su educación y tomar el control, además de ofrecerles flexibilidad y la posibilidad de adquirir los contenidos académicos a su propio ritmo. ## Los 5 elementos principales del aprendizaje personalizado Una encuesta de la [Alliance for Excellent Education concluyó que](https://all4ed.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Personalized-Learning-Infographic.pdf) el 79 % de los padres y el 73 % de los profesores no están de acuerdo con el enfoque global actual de las escuelas en torno a la educación. Debido a la clara evidencia que muestra un avance en los resultados de los exámenes de matemáticas y lectura en las escuelas que han cambiado su enfoque hacia el aprendizaje personalizado, el 71 % de los padres y el 77 % de los profesores estarían conformes con el cambio. Existen algunos ejemplos de escuelas que siguen un enfoque personalizado hacia la educación, pero tuvieron que adaptarlo a sus circunstancias. Estos son algunos ejemplos: - El **enfoque basado en competencias**, en el que los estudiantes progresan a su propio ritmo y dominan los conceptos clave en lugar de aprender estrictamente en clase. - El **enfoque interdisciplinario dirigido por los estudiantes** a través de proyectos con el propósito de desarrollar el pensamiento crítico y la colaboración. - Una **combinación de los dos enfoques** antes mencionados, que se centra en un contenido académico riguroso y un aprendizaje basado en el trabajo. - Un **enfoque centrado en el estudiante**, que utiliza datos personalizados para identificar las brechas de conocimiento para lograr un aprendizaje más autónomo. La base común de todos los enfoques del aprendizaje personalizado es la relación entre el profesor y el estudiante, que se basa en la confianza y ayuda a los estudiantes a progresar a su propio ritmo por medio de la reflexión sobre sus fortalezas y debilidades, la flexibilidad y la aplicación en la vida real del proceso de aprendizaje. Hay cinco elementos clave del aprendizaje personalizado, cada uno de gran importancia individual, pero mayor aún como parte de un enfoque global. 1. ### Albedrío del estudiante Apropiación, albedrío o control son las palabras que se utilizan para referirse a los estudiantes que asumen la responsabilidad de su propio aprendizaje. De este modo, los estudiantes reconocen sus fortalezas y debilidades, y pueden avanzar en el curso según las habilidades dominadas, pero también reforzar aquellas que todavía no dominan. El albedrío del estudiante hace referencia a que tiene el control y participa activamente en su propio proceso de aprendizaje, por lo que el conocimiento se adquiere mejor, según teóricos como [Piaget](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Piaget) y [Dewey](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey). Los profesores solo facilitan la adquisición de contenidos, mientras que los estudiantes los interiorizan y se apropian de ellos también. Proporcionar espacios para que los estudiantes se expresen, como blogs, comunidades en línea seguras de los sistema de gestión de aprendizaje (LMS, por sus siglas en inglés), o incluso usar las herramientas tecnológicas que les son tan populares para crear sus propios contenidos, diarios de fotos y videos, como también intercambiar comentarios con los compañeros, deriva en mayores niveles de rendimiento, una mayor participación en clase, una mejor preparación, un mayor conocimiento propio y menos problemas de comportamiento. 2. ### Entornos de aprendizaje flexibles Desafortunadamente, la enseñanza se sigue dictando en entornos de aprendizaje tradicionales, con filas de escritorios y estudiantes que suelen mirar hacia adelante, lo que se sabe que dificulta el proceso de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, en los entornos de aprendizaje flexibles, los estudiantes tienen más control sobre su forma de aprender gracias a los asientos flexibles no convencionales que se adaptan a sus necesidades, mientras que el profesor es más un facilitador que un instructor. Las sillas y los escritorios tradicionales se reemplazan por diferentes muebles que se pueden adquirir de los proveedores existentes, comprar en los mercados de pulgas o recibir como donaciones. Diseñar un espacio de este tipo con lugares para trabajar solos o en grupo, como también para debates y minilecciones, aporta confianza y genera mejores resultados académicos, una mayor interacción con los compañeros y menos aburrimiento en clase. 3. ### Dominio individual En el centro del aprendizaje personalizado se ubica el aprendiz y sus necesidades. En una época en la que los estudiantes deben poder compatibilizar la vida familiar y laboral con su educación, se necesitan cada vez más escuelas y plataformas centradas en el dominio individual en lugar de enseñar para obtener resultados en las pruebas. Con módulos independientes diseñados como parte de un objetivo educativo más amplio, los estudiantes pueden centrarse en el dominio de las habilidades, independientemente del tiempo, el lugar o el ritmo de aprendizaje asignado para aprovechar su potencial. Para lograrlo, los profesores tienen que ofrecer apoyo y orientación personalizados, y los estudiantes necesitan automotivación, determinación, perseverancia y albedrío. El concepto de dominio individual ayuda a construir bases sólidas para la educación que eleva con naturalidad sus niveles y donde la única variable es el tiempo que necesitan para dominar una competencia. 4. ### Rutas de aprendizaje personalizadas El aprendizaje personalizado consiste en adaptar la enseñanza al ritmo de aprendizaje de los estudiantes para monitorear el aprendizaje a largo plazo. Lograrlo ya no es un problema gracias a los sistemas de gestión de aprendizaje que ayudan a los educadores a crear clases, evaluar a los estudiantes e incorporar rutas de aprendizaje personalizadas. Un LMS proporciona las herramientas necesarias para que los profesores respondan a las necesidades de los estudiantes personalizando los objetivos dentro de las rutas y creando un entorno de aprendizaje virtual flexible. Los LMS también les ofrecen albedrío sobre el aprendizaje y les permiten ser proactivos teniendo acceso a herramientas de autoevaluación, como cuestionarios y encuestas con respuesta instantánea, y un espacio para expresarse y hacer un seguimiento de su progreso. Las rutas personalizadas se adaptan a múltiples estilos de aprendizaje y se centran en la forma en que los estudiantes experimentan el aprendizaje, ofreciendo módulos personalizables para responder a las necesidades educativas individuales. Más información: [El rol del LMS en el diseño de rutas personalizadas para los estudiantes](/es/el-rol-del-lms-en-el-diseno-de-rutas-personalizadas-para-los-estudiantes/) 5. ### Perfiles de los aprendices Conocer a todos los estudiantes y adaptar la enseñanza a sus necesidades es ahora más fácil gracias a los perfiles de aprendizaje de los LMS, que proporcionan datos sobre la evolución del aprendizaje. Los perfiles individuales de los aprendices proporcionan información muy útil sobre su progreso, tanto a los profesores como a los estudiantes. Al analizar el progreso de los estudiantes, los profesores pueden crear contenidos personalizados, asignar objetivos individuales y ofrecer comentarios personalizados, mientras que los estudiantes pueden aprovechar sus fortalezas, superar sus debilidades, y seguir sus propios objetivos e intereses. Los LMS también permiten que los estudiantes se unan a los mismos grupos de interés y mejoren sus conocimientos. Incluso permiten a los profesores asignar tareas en equipo según los intereses en común de los estudiantes o asignar tareas para las que pueden pedir revisiones de sus compañeros. Esto les permite tener una visión más clara de su progreso y fomenta la apropiación. ## Conclusión El aprendizaje personalizado permite una alianza entre el profesor y el estudiante, en la que este último participa en la toma de decisiones. Los profesores y los estudiantes diseñan en conjunto el plan de estudios y la evaluación. Los profesores ofrecen una variedad de opciones, mientras que los estudiantes identifican formas de aprendizaje que se adapten a sus necesidades. Los profesores ayudan a diseñar estrategias de aprendizaje que se adapten a las necesidades de los estudiantes, y estos eligen los temas en función de sus intereses y la forma de demostrar sus conocimientos. El aprendizaje personalizado gira en torno a los estudiantes, lo que les permite organizar su aprendizaje según su propio tiempo, lugar y ritmo. Desarrollan una mentalidad de crecimiento tomando la educación en sus manos con perseverancia y determinación. Al ofrecer igualdad de oportunidades para el desarrollo de los aprendices, este tipo de enfoque lleva a una alianza en continuo progreso que valora la equidad, que debería ser la definición del éxito.

Though CYPHER Agent can get 80% of the mundane work done in minutes, the final 20% still needs human intelligence to validate the content and overall learning experience.  **Why not just use ChatGPT?** If you used ChatGPT this is what you would need to do for a single course with the assumption that it would require 150 inquiries to use ChatGPT to create a course. 1. Identify the 150 inquiries (questions) you need to ask ChatGPT 2. Ask ChatGPT 150 questions 3. Consolidate all the responses 4. Put the responses in a course template 5. Remaining steps are manual such as formatting, gamification, assessments, skills mapping, and rubrics mapping. Not to mention you'll need to manually add and source visuals, video, and audio options. So while useful to get base content, that is ChatGPT where it stops. **What skills / competencies does CYPHER already have on the platform?** 5,000+ skills/competencies are already **preloaded**: - Skills / competencies for over 2,000 jobs that map to US Dole, O*NET and ESCO standards - Skills / competencies for over 2,800 courses that map to USA, Philippines and Brazil standards Additional skills / competencies can easily be added upon request. You can add your own as well! **I already have an LMS. Can I still use CYPHER Agent?** Yes! Using the LTI standard, CYPHER can publish courses into any other LMS that uses LTI. This means you get more than just beautiful course content. You also get engaging and comprehensive gamification, assessments, competencies, reporting and measurement when using the CYPHER platform. See more [LTI](/resources/infographics/cypher-lti).  **Will this integrate with my existing ecosystem?** Yes! We have enterprise-class integration capabilities that make it easy. See more [integrations](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/integrations). **How do I know the AI-generated content is accurate?** As part of CYPHER Agent, we offer AI Crosscheck, a powerful tool that reviews and flags inconsistencies in AI-generated content. It identifies errors, provides reasons for these flags, and suggests replacement text. Users can then choose to apply or ignore these suggestions, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the content. **What can AI Crosscheck help me with?** To help address: - **Content inaccuracy**: ChatGPT-3, the generative-AI tool, “agreed with incorrect statements between 4.8 percent and 26 percent of the time, depending on the statement category.” [view source](https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2024/01/new-paper-shows-generative-ai-its-present-formcan-push-misinformation/393128/) - **Content bias**: USC researchers find bias in up to 38.6% of ‘facts’ used by AI. **What is the difference between free vs. paid AI services?** CYPHER leverages multiple paid Generative AIs to provide AI-powered skill management and complete course creation. The distinctions between free and paid generative AI services are crucial, particularly in how they handle data. Here’s a closer look at the key differences: - **AI data usage and privacy policies**: Free generative AI services often collect and use user data for service improvement and advertising, with broader data usage policies. In contrast, paid AI services offer stricter privacy policies, providing users with better data control and compliance with regulatory standards. - **AI data ownership and rights**: Free AI tools often grant providers extensive rights to use and share your data, including with third parties and for training models. In contrast, paid AI services typically offer greater control over data ownership, with agreements that limit the provider's ability to use or share data without explicit user consent. - **AI security measures**: Free AI services generally lack advanced security features, such as dedicated support, advanced encryption, and industry compliance. Paid AI services often provide enhanced security features, including compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, along with additional security controls and continuous monitoring. - **AI support and accountability**: Free AI services typically offer limited support through community forums or basic help articles, with lower accountability for data breaches or misuse, while paid AI services provide dedicated support and clear accountability. - **AI transparency and compliance**: Free AI services may lack transparency in data handling and compliance with privacy regulations, while paid AI services offer greater transparency, compliance with industry standards, and detailed data handling assurances.

A tiny change in their routine — like mindfulness — can have a rippling positive effect on their **overall wellness**. Mindfulness can also be a part of the **virtual classroom**, given that school is likely to continue in an **online format**. The easiest way to start a mindfulness practice is to incorporate **short and easy techniques** in everyday lessons. No equipment, money, or apps are needed. Let’s see how: 1. ### Just listen A great **icebreaker exercise** is to ask students to relax, sit in a comfortable position of their choice (legs crossed, lying down) and just have them **listen to the sounds** in their rooms for a minimum of 30 seconds. The trick here is to get them to sit still and become **aware of their surroundings**. It’s OK if it’s not perfect from the beginning. 2. ### Easy meditation technique Ask your students to sit comfortably and start by being aware of how they feel in the **present moment**. Then, invite them to **breathe in deeply** and exhale, imagining that their belly is a balloon that inflates and deflates. It’s OK if they don’t get it right away, as it can take some practice, but even a few minutes can help them **clear their minds**. 3. ### Belly breathing In this **diaphragm breathing exercise**, instruct students to place a hand on their belly and feel it expanding and contracting, shoulders relaxed. Take a deep breath for five seconds and release for three, do it again for a few minutes. This exercise can be **done anywhere**, while they wait for a bus or before going to sleep. 4. ### Alternate nostril breathing Using one hand, instruct them to **place the thumb and ring finger** on **one nostril** at a time. Gently put pressure on the right nostril and inhale through the left nostril, then release without exhaling. Close the left nostril with your finger and exhale through the right nostril, and repeat. That is a **basic Pranayama technique**. 5. ### Sensory experiences There’s no secret that **sensory experiences** enhance learning and that they’re hugely beneficial for children’s overall development. Simply ask students to choose an item, be it a tennis ball, slime, playdoh, etc. They get to hold the object in their hands and **describe or think ** what they’re experiencing: texture, color, smells, etc. 6. ### Guided storytelling This activity is excellent for **introducing a new lesson** or concept. For example, during a biology class, ask students to close their eyes, get in a comfortable position, and just listen as you describe a long walk through the forest. **Guided by your voice**, they can imagine walking through a path, the types of plants or animals they can find there, the sounds, etc. 7. ### Finger tracing exercise This **intuitive exercise** is for beginners who don’t know yet how to **slow their breathing**. Students take one hand and fan it out as if they were trying to trace it on paper. Then, using their other hand, they trace slowly along, one finger at a time. Starting with the thumb, trace the outside and inhale, then trace the inside and exhale. Repeat with all fingers. 8. ### Get up and move A lot of seat time has downsides such as muscle pain, especially in the upper and lower back areas. This exercise is a fun way to **end an online lesson** or even incorporate into **asynchronous classes**. Instruct students to take three minutes to do squats, jumping jacks, use hula hoops or steps to move. If you’re on a video call, do it together with them! 9. ### Knowledge is power For younger students, activities centered around **identifying emotions** can be a powerful experience. Instruct them to draw smiley or frowny faces and show you or others what they’re **experiencing at the moment**. For older students, design a mini-lesson centered around the **brain’s response to stress** and how to calm their minds. 10. ### Bonus tip: mindfulness in self-paced lessons The ultimate goal is for students to **use these techniques on their own** and use them willingly. Before starting a new module or lesson in your **learning management system**, you can add a video or a short description of a **mindfulness exercise** in the introduction. The same goes for any task that might trigger a stress response, such as taking an online exam. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

Also, through Google’s free curriculum, CS First, teachers and students can access over 1,000 instructional videos and lesson plans. There’s also Code Club with 30 free project modules dedicated to providing detailed instructions on how to use the platform. Teachers can create accounts for their students to manage their projects and comments more easily using a Scratch Teacher Account. 2. ### Kodable [Kodable](https://www.kodable.com/) is a coding platform that provides teachers with a complete K-5 curriculum to implement in the classroom. It helps students solve problems, work with a partner to reach the same goal, share triumphs and struggles, bounce back after a challenge and develop their creativity as they design levels, games, and characters. Kodable is available to download on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) and desktops. Each lesson from Kodable includes instruction guidance, vocabulary words, and materials that help students identify code as a language and apply algorithms to complete computational tasks. Students learn to read, modify and write scripts in JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, Java, and more. 3. ### Ozobot [Ozobot](https://ozobot.com/) is an online tool that allows students to code robots included in their kits, which can be ordered online and offline. Ozobots are smart robots that help students learn robotics, math, and programming through using visual codes to follow lines or roam around freely. The platform provides instructional video lessons on all subjects that can be shared on any [learning management system (LMS)](/academia) with students in third to fifth grade. The lessons integrate multiple subjects and help students analyze, communicate, solve and interpret their ideas effectively. 4. ### Roblox [Roblox](https://www.roblox.com/) is a desktop design tool that allows students to produce their own immersive multiplayer experience. The website offers teachers free software and curriculum to teach computer science, digital citizenship, entrepreneurship, and more, to students of all ages. With Roblox, students experience a new way of learning that breaks the traditional model of standardized curriculum. It fosters creativity and adaptability for the ever-changing workplace landscape. Using prebuilt educational templates to customize game levels and tutorials, students learn complex concepts as they play — for example, chain reaction simulations, coding, animation, and digital citizenship. 5. ### MIT Full STEAM Ahead [MIT Full STEAM Ahead](https://fullsteam.mit.edu/) is a collection of resources that MIT has put together for teaching and learning online during the pandemic. They were meant as a rapid response to the need for online resources when schools transitioned to the online environment. Teachers can access this learning website to collect resources addressed to K-12 and Higher Education students, updated weekly. From online to offline activity resources, from STEAM-related resources to complete MIT courses, this platform allows teachers to choose the best for their students. 6. ### Minecraft [Minecraft](https://education.minecraft.net/en-us/page) is a game-based world full of educational possibilities that promote computational thinking with in-game coding. Available for Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and iPad, Minecraft lets teachers explore hundreds of lessons created by educators around the world, for students of all ages.

One way to identify the areas you need to improve is to pick the brains of your learners. The **feedback of your learners** is golden. Asking for feedback puts you into a rather vulnerable situation, but it’s the only real way to find out what you can do better. Here are four ways to get **feedback for your online course**: 1. ### Interviews Interviews put you in direct with your learners. In order to get the most out of an interview, you should have **clear objectives in mind**. Know what you want to find out and ask **specific questions** that require more than just yes or no answers. That’s how you get more reliable information. 2. ### Webinars During your webinar, you can ask your learners to **answer some questions** related to a certain topic, or questions to find out more their learning needs. Due to time constraints, you can record your webinar and insert pop-up question boxes to elicit **instant feedback**. 3. ### Surveys Surveys are the **most versatile tool** for finding out what your learners need, whether the course is going in the right direction for them, or whether they need more learning resources. You can include surveys **throughout your course**: at the beginning, included in the learning modules, and at the end. 4. ### Emails Making use of emails to receive feedback from your learners offers a short, direct, and to the point way towards **real feedback**. Learners are familiar with your emails and are **more likely to answer your questions**. You can even **embed a survey** for them to fill in, just try not to overdo it, as it’s tiring to answer many questions at once.

This article explains why white-label LMSs matter, outlines critical features, and reviews the top platforms to help organizations own their training brand fully. ## What is a white-label LMS and why choose one?

This includes branding on web interfaces, mobile apps, emails, and portals without showing the vendor’s logo or name. This full customization ensures learners perceive a seamless, branded experience. Why is this important? Organizations engaging clients, partners, or franchises rely on consistent brand presentation across all channels.

Some promise an AI utopia and others fear bleak scenarios. However, a tangible AI revolution is quietly unfolding in workplace development. As organizations grapple with mounting skills gaps and evolving training needs, the traditional methods of slides and videos are proving inadequate for today's diverse and distributed workforce. AI-powered learning platforms offer personalized learning experiences that cater to individual preferences and organizational requirements, helping to remedy that gap. Graham Glass, CYPHER Learning Founder, CEO, and AI expert, draws on his years of experience in education and technology to dive into this revolution in a recent Training Industry article. In the article, he discusses the transformative power of AI and its ability to streamline and personalize the learning journey at scale. By leveraging technologies like ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), AI-powered learning platforms can instantly respond to learner prompts, suggest relevant materials, and adapt content to meet individual needs. This shift away from uniform, analogue instruction toward interactive, personalized learning not only enhances engagement but also maximizes the value of workforce talent. AI doesn't replace human instructors but rather empowers them by automating repetitive tasks and providing valuable insights through data analytics. By embracing AI to handle 80% of instructional duties that are rote and onerous, trainers can focus on higher-value activities such as strategy, editing, assessment, and mentoring. The result is a more efficient and effective learning and development ecosystem that drives better business outcomes and fosters innovation. From identifying emerging competencies within the workforce to mitigating compliance risks, AI-powered learning platforms offer a wealth of opportunities for organizations to thrive in today's dynamic landscape. By committing to personalized, engaging learning experiences, companies can not only optimize productivity and innovation but also cultivate a more satisfied and capable workforce. In the realm of workplace training, AI isn't just hype — it's a tangible force for positive change and success.

Though CYPHER Agent can get 80% of the mundane work done in minutes, the final 20% still needs human intelligence to validate the content and overall learning experience.  **Why not just use ChatGPT?** If you used ChatGPT this is what you would need to do for a single course with the assumption that it would require 150 inquiries to use ChatGPT to create a course. 1. Identify the 150 inquiries (questions) you need to ask ChatGPT 2. Ask ChatGPT 150 questions 3. Consolidate all the responses 4. Put the responses in a course template 5. Remaining steps are manual such as formatting, gamification, assessments, skills mapping, and rubrics mapping. Not to mention you'll need to manually add and source visuals, video, and audio options. So while useful to get base content, that is ChatGPT where it stops. **What skills / competencies does CYPHER already have on the platform?** 5,000+ skills/competencies are already **preloaded**: - Skills / competencies for over 2,000 jobs that map to US Dole, O*NET and ESCO standards - Skills / competencies for over 2,800 courses that map to USA, Philippines and Brazil standards Additional skills / competencies can easily be added upon request. You can add your own as well! **I already have an LMS. Can I still use CYPHER Agent?** Yes! Using the LTI standard, CYPHER can publish courses into any other LMS that uses LTI. This means you get more than just beautiful course content. You also get engaging and comprehensive gamification, assessments, competencies, reporting and measurement when using the CYPHER platform. See more [LTI](/resources/infographics/cypher-lti).  **Will this integrate with my existing ecosystem?** Yes! We have enterprise-class integration capabilities that make it easy. See more [integrations](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/integrations). **How do I know the AI-generated content is accurate?** As part of CYPHER Agent, we offer AI Crosscheck, a powerful tool that reviews and flags inconsistencies in AI-generated content. It identifies errors, provides reasons for these flags, and suggests replacement text. Users can then choose to apply or ignore these suggestions, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the content. **What can AI Crosscheck help me with?** To help address: - **Content inaccuracy**: ChatGPT-3, the generative-AI tool, “agreed with incorrect statements between 4.8 percent and 26 percent of the time, depending on the statement category.” [view source](https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2024/01/new-paper-shows-generative-ai-its-present-formcan-push-misinformation/393128/) - **Content bias**: USC researchers find bias in up to 38.6% of ‘facts’ used by AI. **What is the difference between free vs. paid AI services?** CYPHER leverages multiple paid Generative AIs to provide AI-powered skill management and complete course creation. The distinctions between free and paid generative AI services are crucial, particularly in how they handle data. Here’s a closer look at the key differences: - **AI data usage and privacy policies**: Free generative AI services often collect and use user data for service improvement and advertising, with broader data usage policies. In contrast, paid AI services offer stricter privacy policies, providing users with better data control and compliance with regulatory standards. - **AI data ownership and rights**: Free AI tools often grant providers extensive rights to use and share your data, including with third parties and for training models. In contrast, paid AI services typically offer greater control over data ownership, with agreements that limit the provider's ability to use or share data without explicit user consent. - **AI security measures**: Free AI services generally lack advanced security features, such as dedicated support, advanced encryption, and industry compliance. Paid AI services often provide enhanced security features, including compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, along with additional security controls and continuous monitoring. - **AI support and accountability**: Free AI services typically offer limited support through community forums or basic help articles, with lower accountability for data breaches or misuse, while paid AI services provide dedicated support and clear accountability. - **AI transparency and compliance**: Free AI services may lack transparency in data handling and compliance with privacy regulations, while paid AI services offer greater transparency, compliance with industry standards, and detailed data handling assurances.

Various elements of instruction will be translated into gaming applications, or “gamified,” to peak student interest as they master a rigorous, individualized curriculum requiring critical thinking and problem-solving skills to advance or “level up.” Workshops, games and quests are student-paced, engaging and motivational. “CYPHER gave us all the components that we needed.” Cheryl Essex, Dean of The REALM INDUSTRY K-12 COUNTRY United States Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Features](#sub_section_1) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! Previous user interface is being shown. New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Implementing a gamified learning environment posed a challenge in keeping students consistently engaged and motivated to progress through the curriculum - Addressing the diverse learning needs of students while ensuring a personalized learning experience within a gamified framework presented a challenge for educators - Streamlining the grading process and providing timely feedback to students in a gamified learning environment required an efficient and effective assessment system The REALM stands for Rigorous Education Arcade Learning Model, we're a gaming school. That means lessons are plated in such a way to give [the feel of gaming](/resources/infographics/neo/gamification-in-the-classroom). CYPHER Learning® offered us an opportunity to plate the games and house the games in a LMS. We kept going back to the fact that we needed something that would keep kids engaged. Because of the blended learning strategy that we wanted to infuse in our school, we needed something that could be self-paced, something they can do at - eventually something they can do outside of school and on their own time. ## The solution And what we found was CYPHER - an amazing product. CYPHER gave us all the components that we needed: - It lets us go from blended learning, to self-pacing to some still traditional delivery; - It gives us a grading system; - It provides us with all the structure we need to give us that true feel of ownership of learning; - It gives autonomy to students. ### Features - **Progress meter:** Within the REALM, most of the stuff we do is basically on CYPHER's LMS. For example, I can see the lessons I've completed over the last six weeks, and the 'progress meter' shows I've done 85% of what I'm supposed to do - Anna Lappin, 6th grade student - **Video recording:** Some of the things that CYPHER offers in terms of lessons – which is one of my favorite features – is the video recording. For one assignment, we had to make a video our life; you can click the 'Record' button in the editor and it allows you to record a video and turn that in as an assignment - Anna Lappin, 6th grade student - **Grading:** In the REALM, we have the “Mastery Level” that we must achieve and that's a 90% or above. In CYPHER, you have the chance to correct a bad grade. If I get less than what I wanted on an assignment, I can go back and redo it and fix that grade - Anna Lappin, 6th grade student - **Notifications:** Teacher notifications are very helpful, because they can tell us when workshops are due, what you're supposed to sign up for and what grades you're missing - Anna Lappin, 6th grade student - **Content development:** One of the best features I like it is the 'Stages'. These are sections where I can put all sorts of different lessons that I want my students to be subjected to. In Texas, we have State Standards that we need to meet and I was able to implement each standard in the chapters and lessons that I do for the children - Angela Lappin, English and Language Arts Teacher - **Assessments:** CYPHER provides me with a lot of options in how I want to portray a lesson. For example, I can choose to go ahead and just put statements in and let the kids know exactly what I want them to learn. I can also add quizzes or essay questions. Within each lesson that I have in CYPHER, there is a different number of ways that I can use to assess the student - Angela Lappin, English and Language Arts Teacher - **Gradebook:** One of the features that I like best CYPHER is the “Gradebook”. It has made grading so much easier and it allows me to make sure that I can assess the kids in different ways - Angela Lappin, English and Language Arts Teacher - **Communication:** The communication sector in CYPHER is an awesome way for me to communicate with the students at all times. One of the neat things is that I can have CYPHER on my cell phone and whenever a student turns in an assignment it will alert me on my mobile device. Also, I get messages on my phone. It's a great way to communicate with kids and let them know what they need to do - Angela Lappin, English and Language Arts Teacher - **Feedback:** CYPHER affords our students an opportunity for immediate feedback. Because our grades are filtered in slowly, the teachers can stay on top of the grading process and see if the child doesn' t meet the qualifications necessary. The amount of communication the teacher can have is so superior to anything that you would experience with most typical learning management systems - Cheryl Essex “One of the features that I like best CYPHER is the “Gradebook”. It has made grading so much easier and it allows me to make sure that I can assess the kids in different ways.” Angela Lappin, English and Language Arts Teacher ## The results - CYPHER's gamified elements and self-paced learning features facilitated increased student engagement and motivation, as evidenced by students' ability to track their progress and achievements within the platform - CYPHER's flexibility allowed educators at The REALM to personalize learning experiences for students, incorporating diverse instructional methods and assessments tailored to individual learning needs and preferences - CYPHER's communication tools enabled seamless interaction between teachers and students CYPHER plays an important role within our gaming school. “CYPHER affords our students an opportunity for immediate feedback.

Today’s workforce is as diverse and dispersed as ever. Employees of four generations work in offices, from , or on the way. Plus, they are more demanding than ever, as everyone expects every life aspect to cater to individual preferences. Creating personalized training based on skill-building goals is paramount for companies wanting to attract and retain the best talent. L&D professionals strive to design training programs that meet employee learning needs, allow for flexibility in attendance, and achieve the desired changes that lead to better organizational outcomes. But personalizing the learning experience for each employee is no easy feat. Luckily, learning technologies such as learning management systems or other business learning platforms can do the heavy lifting, mainly through personalized learning paths. ## Why each employee needs a personalized learning path Learning paths are a great way for employees to acquire new skills and improve their performance. A [learning path](/tour/skills-development) outlines a sequence towards mastering new skills and bridging knowledge gaps. For example, all employees who want to learn the basics of graphic design could follow this learning path: 1. Introduction to graphic design 2. Design principles and process 3. Typography and Color 4. Photo editing 5. Video editing A learning path is usually made of goals, so in the above example, there are five goals (each representing a course) that a learner must master to achieve their objective of learning graphic design fundamentals. Learning paths can also have gradual difficulty levels, guiding employees through their learning journey and leading them toward their goals. Since employees have different skill sets, interests, and even expectations from a training program, it’s important to design learning journeys that meet these individual demands as well as possible every step of the way. When employees receive the information they need at the right time and in the right way, they are much more likely to have increased retention rates and be more successful when transferring the newly learned skills to real-life situations. Read more: [How to create personalized corporate training through an modern learning platform](/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training) ## Aligning learning paths with skill-building goals The first step when designing personalized learning paths for employees is to [identify any skills gaps](https://resources.workable.com/tutorial/skills-gap-analysis) that need to be addressed. You can do this by enrolling people in some courses on topics they should master already. If some assessments are sub-par (for example, less than 70%) or if certain topics raise problems for more employees, you identified some possible interventions. Another way to do this is through employee surveys: ask them their interests and professional development objectives. Perhaps your Marketing employees want to learn more graphic design or how to create better rapport with customers. Or maybe your Junior Graphic Designer intends to become a Senior Graphic Designer in the near future. This information is gold if you want to create relevant training. Once you have determined which skills an employee needs to acquire or cultivate, you need to associate workplace competencies with each of those skills and tie them together in a learning path. A tool such as a [modern learning platform](/) can help a lot at this step. With it, you can define job titles and assign them to users, associate job titles with the competencies required for that job, and allow learners to have job titles as goals and then track and manage those goals. Designing a learning path becomes a matter of identifying the proper sequence of training interventions for each employee. Here are some other aspects of an ILP that supports personalized learning paths: ### Automation [Automation](/tour/automation) is great at replacing manual processes, and it's the only way to stay on top of various learning needs. In its simplest form, automation is based on if-then sentences: if a new employee joins the company, then they are automatically enrolled in an onboarding path and also added to their department's online group. Likewise, when the employee finishes the onboarding path, they are automatically awarded a certificate of completion. This ability to define automatic rules that are triggered when certain conditions are met is useful at every step of the way when building learning paths. ### Gamification Learner engagement is a hot topic among training professionals, and for a good reason: engaged learners pay more attention and are more likely to achieve the desired training objectives. One thing that has proven time and time again to encourage engagement is [gamification](/tour/gamification). And that too can be included in learning paths through awarding points and badges when learners complete a goal in the path, advancing from one goal to another. You can also add a bit of competition by splitting learners into groups and creating team games. ### Dynamic flows You can take a learning path up a notch if you diversify its goals and create dynamic flows. Having online courses as goals is good, but you can also add videos, quizzes, or certificates to the mix. For instance, a learner can start a path with a video, then move on to an online course, listen to a podcast, fill up a quiz, finish another course, watch another video, take another assessment, and finally get the certificate of completion. As long a learner goes through all the goals of the path, regardless of the order they choose to, they earn that certificate. ### Artificial Intelligence [AI is a game-changer](/blog/business/ai-will-change-corporate-training) when designing personalized learning paths for employees. Even not-that-sophisticated AI can take things to the next level. And if your learning platform comes with a few AI-infused features, things get a lot easier. For instance, if an employee wants to learn the basics of graphic design, the platform can run a skills gap analysis and then provide automatic recommendations on what learning path (made up of specific goals) that employee should follow. The trick here is to use the platform as much as possible and set all the job titles, and define the needed competencies as well as goals. ## Designing learning paths based on skill-building goals Personalized learning paths give each employee the opportunity to reach a learning goal in a way that fits their learning needs, and a learning platform can do the heavy lifting during their design process. Organizations need to create learning paths based on skill development goals if they want any training program to impact employee performance.

Other struggles, like the battle for top talent, have recently caused a significant upheaval in how businesses recruit, train, and onboard. Learning and development (L&D) leaders have always had to adapt, but the present challenges are brand new. Trainers are now tasked with implementing remote programs and making accommodations for a highly advanced hybrid workplace—from onboarding to on-the-job training and coaching. With so many pieces of the puzzle, it's safe to say that the training and development landscape of 2025 will be digital, innovative, and revolutionary. Let’s take a closer look at some of the trends that are paving the way to growth. ## Trends in learning and development that will define training in 2025 L&D trends fluctuate in response to a changing workplace, innovations in learning technology, and employee demands. Trends, however, are just a guide for learning professionals and company leaders. It's up to them to choose what works best for their training needs in the long term. Deloitte correctly highlights the [idea of ownership in the new learning paradigm](https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/at/Documents/human-capital/at-deloitte-rethink-your-learning-approach.pdf): “In the future the person acquiring new skills will be at the center of the learning process, with a focus on personalized, integrated, hybrid and life-long learning.” With that in mind, here are the top L&D trends we’ve identified for 2025. ### 1. Upskilling and reskilling Skills development will be the top priority for most organizations in 2025. Companies must address the growing skills gap created by technology adoption and disruption. [Upskilling](/blog/business/things-to-consider-when-designing-training-to-upskill-remote-workers), reskilling and even [right-skilling](/blog/business/what-you-need-to-know--right-skilling-employees) training programs should be a priority for most companies as employees will need to learn new skills, take on new roles and update their competencies to be more competitive in a somewhat volatile job market. "We have the means to reskill and upskill individuals in unprecedented numbers, to deploy precision safety nets which protect displaced workers from destitution, and to create bespoke maps which orient displaced workers towards the jobs of tomorrow where they will be able to thrive. However, the efforts to support those affected by the current crisis lag behind the speed of disruption." The World Economic Forum’s [Future of Jobs Report](https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2020.pdf) ### 2. Generative AI Artificial intelligence (AI), and more specifically generative AI, is poised to redefine how learners and instructors experience corporate training this year. Thanks to AI’s content creation capabilities, designers and instructors will have more ability to build personalized, interactive, and adaptive learning experiences at scale. And with the CYPHER platform, you can even develop [and deliver new courses in less than 15 days](/). In the learning and development realm, generative AI provides two major wins: - **Personalization at scale:**Generative AI helps companies create courses faster, allowing for personalized learning at scale. Advances like automatic competency mapping, in which skills are automatically tied to course content, enables instructors to see how well they cover certain material and better assess student mastery levels. AI-enabled upskilling is how the modern workforce will upskill faster than ever, with organizations being able to track and measure results more accurately. - **Interactive simulations and feedback:** AI also offers expanded ability to create engaging simulations that hone employee skills. With [CYPHER Agent](/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators), creators can even embed synthetic audio for extra interaction. Most notably, enterprises can enjoy substantial time and cost savings with these new features and tools. Because AI streamlines the development and administration of training, L&D programs will benefit from higher-quality content and more efficient delivery methods. ### 3. Microlearning Microlearning, or [bite-sized learning](/blog/business/3-key-aspects-of-effective-microlearning-how-to-do-more-with-less), is consolidating its position as a favorite and effective teaching method for busy corporate employees having to learn at the moment of need. While the concept of microlearning has been the same from the start, how it is executed is constantly transforming. According to [eLearning Partners](https://www.e-learningpartners.com/blog/what-microlearning-trends-are-the-most-impactful-in-reasing popularity has had quite an effect on professional learning. Packing information into short and to-the-point videos is an excellent way to ensure learner engagement and to captivate the attention of target audiences. The Google phenomenon, namely the fact that people can now search for any word or topic and relevant results immediately pop up, is also highly relevant for microlearning. The point is to label and title the learning content appropriately so learners can easily find what they need. Lastly, there is [interactive gratification](/tour/gamification). This means that each microlearning unit should be followed by an interactive instrument (like a quiz), ending in a reward. ### 4. Data-driven learning Learning management systems (LMSs) have become increasingly proficient at collecting, analyzing, and suggesting actions based on data, facilitating the growth of data-driven learning. Learning platforms can now diagnose learning needs, alert instructors when learners need assistance, and make [content recommendations](/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-features) based on learning goals and competency levels. This level of fine-tuning means that instructors can create [personalized learning paths](/blog/business/skill-building-goals) for each employee, ensuring maximum engagement and optimal information retention. The future of e-learning belongs to [modern learning platforms](/business) capable of interpreting data and making it actionable. Data-driven learning is also learner-centric, focusing on delivering the most suitable interventions through real-time feedback and a wide variety of learning content (designed in-house and by third-party e-learning providers). ### 5. Repurposing and outsourcing content The time of lengthy training designed by in-house instructional specialists has passed. With the workforce becoming increasingly globalized and the need for just-in-time learning, companies must ensure they have quality content available at all times. For example, current training material can be repurposed into smaller chunks and packaged in various formats. Furthermore, a lot of the new content will fall to the task of third-party creators as increasingly more organizations partner with learning providers such as LinkedIn Learning and Go1. **Did you know?** CYPHER partners with LinkedIn Learning, Go1, and several other content partners. With our powerful CYPHER Agent, you can create courses from existing videos, PDFs, and proprietary content without extra hassle. Simply [upload your content](/content) to CYPHER Agent, and watch your new, holistic training programs happen in real time. ### 6. User-generated content The jury is out: employees enjoy and trust learning content more when their colleagues create it. User-generated content (UGC) is any learning content learners make. It's growing in popularity as employees prefer more interactive learning experiences and taking ownership of their education and training. UGC has many perks, including employee training buy-in, higher participation rates, and more effective peer-to-peer training. There are many ways in which learners can contribute directly, including Q&A forums, short videos, case studies, and reviews. The best part? It's not that hard to get people to contribute as long as you can demonstrate the impact of UGC and incentivize learners (through different perks and rewards) accordingly. Human connection is the essence of social learning. And in 2025, interactive features like [forums, chats, blogs, and wikis](/tour/human-connection) will bring learners together more than ever before. ### 7. Extended reality (XR) in training Next year will see more extended reality (XR) in training. This includes all the immersive learning technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). All these make the employee experience more interactive and engaging. Apart from the engagement perks, XR is critical when training for learning competencies that take a lot of resources when taught in a non-digital learning environment. This is especially true for [potentially dangerous jobs](https://vrvisiongroup.com/vr-training-eliminate-risk-dangerous-jobs/) such as operating heavy equipment, aviation, logging, and natural resource mining. The applications of XR are also highly useful for technical training, onboarding programs, and even customer service, as it's easy to run multiple scenarios with various types of clients and issues. ### 8. Learning on demand [Asynchronous](/blog/business/exploring-5-types-of-asynchronous-training), on-demand learning is a must for any organization that wants to thrive in the hybrid environment. According to a survey of 800 employees in large organizations, 56% of them say they have been [unable to locate digital documents while working remotely](https://www.beezy.net/2022-workplace-report) this year. We've already touched on the importance of knowledge sharing in organizations and the necessity of a good strategy. L&D needs to take this one step further by ensuring employees can access learning materials whenever required, regardless of their device or time zone. ### 9. Diversity and inclusion Corporate training is now experiencing a long-overdue transformation in its approach to diversity and inclusion. This shift has the potential to alter how businesses recruit, hire, and operate, setting the stage for cultural expectations in the workplace. The business case for [diversity, equality, and inclusivity training](/solutions/diversity-and-inclusion-training) is clear. Diverse teams tend to be more innovative and capable of high performance. Additionally, teams that prioritize [diversity in recruiting expand their potential talent pool](https://lpsonline.sas.upenn.edu/features/dei-workplace-why-its-important-company-culture#:~:text=Companies%20that%20become%20known%20for,and%20win%20over%20diverse%20customers.) to include more top contributors from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. In the corporate learning environment, promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives must include actions such as: - Building a diverse pool of speakers and professional trainers who represent unique cultural and professional backgrounds - Incorporating diverse case studies or hands-on examples and scenarios in training materials - Providing channels for feedback that allow all employees, regardless of demographic, to contribute to an ever-growing learning community. In the next year, expect to see additional augmented reality tools that simulate or model new workplace scenarios focusing on diversity. This strategy is sure to help employees embrace a culture of inclusion in the workplace, allowing them to understand how D&I initiatives fit into a broader corporate strategy for growth. ### 10. Self-directed learning Now more than ever before, one-size-fits-all training programs are gone. The latest training protocols should focus on self-directed learning paths, empowering employees to pursue knowledge that aligns with their [career growth and personal development](/solutions/career-development). Investing in these training materials not only improves career trajectories, but it also paves the way for higher employee satisfaction. In this way, modern training is better at prioritizing the mental health and well-being of employees more than ever. Today’s trend of self-directed learning (SDL) finds its roots in many factors, including: - Individual desire for autonomy and mastery over the personal learning journey - A rapidly changing set of job roles and skills requirements based on market demand - Growing levels of stress and anxiety associated with performance expectations By facilitating more self-directed learning events, businesses can act as curators and facilitators. A new, highly supportive learning ecosystem is built using technology that uses critical tools like self-assessments, resource libraries, and virtual learning communities. Each of these developments contributes to a learner’s ability to work at their own pace and interact with content that benefits them most. On the business side of the equation, more self-directed equates to a more agile workforce, evolving to meet the demands of the modern market. Forbes Advisor names [CYPHER best employee training software](/blog/news/forbes-advisor-names-cypher-best-lms-for-the-third-consecutive-year) three years in a row! ## Learning and development in 2025 This year’s training landscape isn’t simply imparting knowledge. Rather, it’s fostering a learning culture that is intelligent, inclusive, and in tune with the way humans are wired. As the workforce evolves, so must the strategies that guide that growth. The future of learning is personal, inclusive, and limitless—adapting to how healthy corporate cultures should operate in the near and distant future. As is true of recent years, 2025 holds similar risks, benefits, challenges, and unpredictable external factors. Although these things might be outside of an organization’s control, leaders can—and should—still act to reshape their own learning adventure. As the need to grow, upskill, and reskill becomes stronger, companies need a learning platform that’s ready for the task ahead. Creating diverse, engaging, and relevant learning content starts now—CYPHER is here to help.

AI is not just another tool in the arsenal—it's a game-changer, enabling corporate trainers to quickly roll out tailored, competency-based skills development programs. This capability is revolutionizing learning and development (L&D), turning it into a key strategy for retaining talent and adding value to organizations across various sectors. Graham Glass, the CEO and Founder of CYPHER Learning, is set to shed light on the immense potential of AI to customize and enhance learning experiences. By introducing foundational AI models like GPT-4 and DALL-E, Glass aims to demystify how AI can be leveraged in educational settings. A significant focus will be on the critical role of prompts, which are instrumental in maximizing the value derived from AI technologies. Readers can expect to gain insights into best practices for creating pedagogically sound and relevant content, illustrating how AI can be effectively integrated into educational strategies to meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce. ## You asked. Graham answered. The foundations of generative AI **Where did AI come from?** Rewinding the clock by over three decades, there was burgeoning interest in an emerging technology known as neural networks. In their nascent stage, these rudimentary models—inspired by our understanding of the human brain's functioning—were employed to tackle elementary tasks. For instance, consider the task of predicting the next letter in a sequence when presented with the fragment "DO"; an early neural network might deduce that the ensuing letter completes the word "dog". Initially, these networks comprised a modest assembly of neurons, perhaps around 10 to 20, tasked with such sequence prediction. Although seemingly trivial, these early experiments laid the groundwork for more complex applications. As researchers expanded their ambitions, they began to challenge neural networks with more sophisticated tasks, such as completing the phrase "today is a sunny ____." Over time, these networks evolved to predict with increasing accuracy, identifying the missing word as "day." This progression marked the foundational steps towards the intricate neural network models we see today, capable of far more complex and nuanced tasks. Over time, researchers began to expand the capabilities and applications of neural networks, although they initially encountered significant obstacles. The computational power available was insufficient, and technological limitations led to a period of stagnation, causing many to view artificial intelligence as a marginal field with limited potential. Despite these challenges, a dedicated group of pioneers persisted. With the advent of more powerful computing resources, they ventured into experiments with substantially larger neural networks. These enthusiasts proposed models comprising tens of thousands of neurons, discovering that the networks' performance improved as they scaled. This upward trajectory continued until they reached architectures with millions of neurons, at which point the neural networks began demonstrating remarkable abilities. They started training these expansive networks using a vast array of publicly available texts, such as the classic novel "War and Peace," marking a significant breakthrough in the field. Researchers began by posing simple questions to the neural networks, such as their thoughts on specific chapters, and were initially surprised by the coherent responses they received. However, the excitement was tempered by the networks' tendency to veer into nonsensical outputs. For instance, a network might begin by thoughtfully commenting on "War and Peace," only to abruptly shift to irrelevant observations the weather or express confusion its purpose. This inconsistency highlighted the limitations of early neural networks, yet it did not deter the researchers. Persistence in the face of these challenges led to a significant breakthrough with the publication of a seminal paper titled "Attention is All You Need." This work introduced an innovative approach that significantly improved the AI's ability to maintain focus on relevant information, thereby reducing the occurrence of irrelevant or nonsensical responses. The pivotal advancement in AI technology came with the development of the Transformer model, a breakthrough that significantly enhanced the capabilities of artificial intelligence systems, including those used in conversational AI like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). Over three decades, researchers faced numerous challenges, overcoming each to reach new levels of innovation. Approximately a year and a half ago, this iterative process culminated in the release of GPT-3, marking a watershed moment for AI interaction. For the first time, individuals could engage in meaningful conversations with an AI, receiving intelligent and coherent responses. Many were skeptical at first, myself included. Initial tests with basic questions like "What's two plus two?" quickly evolved into more complex inquiries, such as drafting a course outline for digital marketing—a task GPT-3 performed with remarkable acumen. This experience was eye-opening, revealing the technology's potential to revolutionize how we approach education and learning. Currently, the pace of development is accelerating. With the introduction of GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and the anticipation of GPT-5, alongside Google's Gemini 1.5, we are witnessing rapid advancements in AI capabilities. This progress is a testament to the persistent efforts of researchers and developers over the years, and we are now beginning to reap the benefits of their labor. For those of us in the education sector, this presents an unprecedented opportunity to leverage AI technology to enhance teaching and learning methods, making this an incredibly exciting time to be involved in the field. **How does AI work?** A common curiosity revolves around whether, when prompted with a question, the AI merely regurgitates information it has encountered online, or why it doesn't provide direct links to its sources. These are valid inquiries that highlight a fundamental aspect of AI learning, which is somewhat parallel to human learning processes. Consider GPT-4 as an example; it was trained on a dataset comprising 570 gigabytes of text, embodying a voracious reader absorbing vast quantities of information. However, unlike a simple copy-paste mechanism, it doesn't memorize data verbatim. Instead, the AI identifies patterns within the data, modifying the connections among neurons within its extensive neural network to encapsulate the core of what it learns. This involves distinguishing specific words, the relationships between words, and even grammatical structures observed in language. It's noteworthy that GPT's training encompassed nearly every language known to us, making it a polyglot entity. This means you can interact with it in various languages, from Chinese to Swedish, and receive responses in the language of your inquiry. The AI's learning process involves crafting a web of connections that inform its understanding and responses, a testament to its intricate design and the sophistication behind its apparent simplicity. GPT technology boasts over 1 trillion synaptic connections, a staggering number, though still dwarfed by the human brain's approximately 100 trillion. This comparison highlights our current edge over AI in terms of complexity, yet this gap may not persist indefinitely. Like humans, GPT learns by absorbing and repeatedly processing information to forge pathways of understanding, without retaining specific excerpts of text. Thus, when prompted with a question, GPT's response mirrors a human's: it synthesizes a novel sentence reflecting the accumulated essence of its training, rather than reproducing text verbatim from prior reading. This process underscores two key points: firstly, AI generates original responses based on its "experiences," and secondly, it typically doesn't track the origins of its knowledge, mirroring human tendencies to forget precise sources of information. The absence of direct citation in AI responses is akin to the way most people recall facts—broadly, without specific details the source. In addition, part of AI's development involves reinforcement learning, where it interacts with humans to refine its capabilities, striving to meet our expectations. This effort to please can lead to AI attempting to provide answers or links without concrete knowledge, akin to how children might respond to questions with a mix of accurate and imaginative replies. While this eagerness to satisfy queries can result in inaccuracies, such as non-existent links, it's a reflection of the AI's learning process and its continuous improvement in delivering reliable information. **What are AI hallucinations?** Hallucinations in AI responses are essentially the system's efforts to fulfill your queries satisfactorily. When the AI has ample information accessible, it tends to provide accurate answers. However, its performance may falter with questions concerning less common knowledge. For instance, as someone who frequently interacts with AI and has a fondness for the British sci-fi cartoon "Thunderbirds," I've noticed that the AI reliably answers questions the show's main characters and spacecraft, reflecting the abundance of available data on these topics. Yet, when I inquired a specific episode featuring a unique plot twist—a detail not widely documented—the AI inaccurately described the twist. This experience illustrates that AI is more prone to inaccuracies when dealing with obscure or scantily documented subjects, attempting to generate a response that, while intended to be helpful, might not be correct. **Where is AI headed?** When engaging with AI, it's prudent to approach it with the same caution you would when interacting with another person: critically evaluate the information provided rather than accepting it unquestioningly. As we delve deeper into AI capabilities, it's crucial to consider the trajectory of this technology. I frequently consume content from leading figures in the AI field, such as Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind and Sam Altman of OpenAI, who consistently convey a thought-provoking message: the current state of AI, as represented by models like GPT-4, is only the beginning. These systems are continually evolving, becoming more sophisticated, reliable, faster, and cost-effective. Significantly, their ability to reason and understand complex causal relationships is advancing. For instance, while GPT-3 had limited reasoning capabilities, GPT-4 demonstrates a marked improvement in processing complex problems and deducing causality. This trend is expected to continue with GPT-5 and beyond. Visionaries like Hassabis anticipate that AI will not only enhance our capacity for innovation, including breakthroughs in medicine, aging, and even theoretical physics, but also transform the way we learn and solve problems. The consensus among experts is optimistic: AI will serve as a powerful ally in humanity's quest for knowledge and discovery, opening doors to possibilities that today seem like science fiction. The art of prompt engineering **What is AI prompt engineering?** Before we explore AI in action, let's consider the user experience of engaging with AI technologies like GPT-4. Currently, text remains the dominant mode of interaction, though many users have begun experimenting with voice commands, finding them remarkably effective. Furthermore, the advent of vision capabilities has led some early adopters to monitor their emotional states via camera during interactions, enabling the AI to assess and respond to their feelings, such as happiness or sadness. This shift towards multimodal interactions—incorporating vision, speech, and text—suggests a future where AI engagement is more holistic. However, the essence of utilizing AI lies in the interaction itself, which is more akin to a dialogue than a mere search. Engaging with AI is conversational by nature; you pose a question, receive a response, and may seek further clarification or a different perspective. This dynamic is crucial for maximizing the benefits of AI, particularly in fields like education where the initial focus has been on enhancing the efficiency and quality of content creation. **What I have learned AI prompts?** Interacting with AI, in my experience, is akin to engaging with a highly intelligent but occasionally distracted teenager. You might pose a question and receive an insightful answer initially, only to be met with a less relevant response upon further inquiry. This inconsistency suggests the need for more precise instructions. For instance, rather than broadly requesting a course outline, specifying the need for titles and descriptions of 10 course modules often yields a more focused reply. However, responses can vary in length or detail, prompting further refinement of the prompt to achieve the desired specificity, such as requesting descriptions that span two to three sentences for each module. Despite these adjustments, the AI might still deviate from the request, delivering eight modules instead of the specified ten, demonstrating its occasional lack of precision. Persistently rephrasing or repeating the prompt is sometimes necessary to guide the AI towards the exact requirements. This iterative process of narrowing down the AI's response options mirrors the experience of gently coaxing a teenager to maintain focus and not get distracted. Moreover, as we transition to newer, more advanced AI models, each comes with its unique set of characteristics. Adapting to these nuances is part of the learning curve, illustrating that effective communication with AI requires patience, specificity, and an understanding that it may have its own "personality quirks," much like getting a teenager to concentrate on the task at hand. **What are “packaged prompts”?** Our primary objective with AI integration was to streamline the process for educators to produce superior educational materials. As we continue to explore more sophisticated applications of AI, it's essential to understand the types of queries that elicit the most valuable responses. This involves leveraging multiple AI systems, not just one, to achieve desired outcomes, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful interaction in unlocking AI's full potential. Navigating AI's peculiarities necessitates a period of adjustment to optimize interaction. In the context of education, our objective was to streamline the AI utilization process, eliminating the need for end-users to master complex prompt engineering. We achieved this by developing and refining a series of prompts over several months, then concealing this complexity behind simple, user-friendly interfaces. Users can now issue straightforward commands, and the AI executes these tasks seamlessly on their behalf. This approach reflects a broader trend towards simplifying AI interactions, ensuring users can harness the technology's benefits without becoming experts in prompt formulation. **Does AI support internationalization?** An especially intriguing discovery was AI's capacity for supporting internationalization effortlessly. Initially, the assumption was that prompts needed to be translated into the target language for the AI to generate responses accordingly. For instance, creating a course in English implies using English prompts, with the expectation that translating these prompts into Spanish would be necessary for Spanish content creation. However, to my surprise and relief, it was found that one could simply instruct the AI in English to produce responses in another language, whether it be Spanish, Swedish, or Swahili. This revelation significantly reduced the anticipated workload and opened up exciting possibilities for multilingual content creation, demonstrating AI's remarkable flexibility and adaptability in catering to diverse linguistic requirements. Discovering the innate multilingual capabilities of AI was a moment of profound realization for me. Initially, I wondered if the technology relied on external services like Google Translate for language translation, assuming the AI processed everything in English before converting the output. However, the truth is far more impressive: AI systems inherently understand multiple languages. When prompted in Spanish, for example, the AI doesn't merely translate from English; it comprehends and applies Spanish grammar directly, conceptualizing the response in the language requested. This revelation underscored the AI's sophisticated grasp of diverse languages, a feature that genuinely astonished me. Acknowledging the questions and engagement from the audience, I am eager to demonstrate AI's capabilities firsthand, believing strongly in the power of direct experience to convey the technology's revolutionary impact. While discussions AI's potential are enlightening, nothing compares to witnessing its application, especially in creating educational content—a field where its impact is both immediate and transformative. As we prepare to explore AI in action, it's important to note that multiple AI models may be utilized to achieve the desired outcomes, underscoring the technology's versatility. This approach is not relying on a single AI to handle every task but leveraging the strengths of various models to enhance the educational experience. This exploration aims to showcase the practical applications of AI in education and hint at future possibilities beyond the initial phase of adoption, highlighting the technology's expansive potential. AI technology encompasses a diverse range of specialized models, each excelling in specific domains: image synthesis, voice generation, content discovery, and text creation, among others. For instance, innovations in video synthesis, such as the early previews of sawa, highlight the rapid advancements in this field. This diversity means that multiple AI systems are often coordinated to achieve complex tasks, operating seamlessly behind the scenes. For users, this integration offers a simplified experience, allowing them to leverage AI's power without needing to understand the underlying technology. The process I'm to demonstrate involves coordinating hundreds of prompts in a dialogue with these AI systems, a task that is far too cumbersome to manage manually through platforms like ChatGPT. Instead, we employ parallel processing, engaging multiple AI models simultaneously to gather pieces of information, which are then assembled to form a cohesive whole. AI in action **Does AI use multiple AIs?** The AI landscape is diverse, with specialized models excelling in specific areas: some shine in image synthesis, others in voice synthesis, still others in information retrieval, and many are adept at generating text. Innovations are continually emerging, such as sawa's preview indicating the near-future potential for video synthesis. This variety underscores the vast array of AI capabilities, all operating in concert behind the scenes. **What is “fully packaged” AI?** A notable aspect of modern AI technology is its user-friendly accessibility. Individuals can harness the capabilities of AI effortlessly, without delving into the technical intricacies, due to the sophisticated integration of these systems into intuitive platforms. This seamless operation involves coordinating a vast number of prompts in a dynamic exchange of information between the interface and various AI models. This coordination happens with exceptional speed and efficiency, allowing for a fluid interaction. By automating this complex dialogue, users are relieved from the laborious process of manually inputting each prompt, showcasing the advanced backend processes that facilitate a streamlined and effective user experience. **What is parallel prompting? Is it slow?** Utilizing AI technology often involves simultaneously engaging multiple AI models to integrate their distinct inputs into a cohesive outcome, akin to piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. This method utilizes publicly available data, notably the 570 gigabytes ingested by these models, ensuring a broad and up-to-date knowledge base as of December 2023. Although this may exclude the very latest updates, it underscores the substantial information these AIs can access. The future of AI promises even more dynamic capabilities, with advancements aimed at achieving real-time processing. This will significantly reduce the gap between real-world events and AI recognition. Moreover, the interest in creating educational content from private data highlights AI's flexibility and its potential to customize educational resources to meet diverse requirements. **How accurate is the information?** Ensuring the accuracy of information provided by AI involves a combination of human expertise and critical thinking. As someone deeply versed in computer science and education, I can scrutinize the AI-generated content for precision, leveraging my knowledge to assess its correctness. This process is significantly more efficient than creating content from scratch, though it does require vigilance for potential inaccuracies. When doubts arise the AI's output, cross-referencing with additional AI models or conducting a quick online search can provide validation. This approach is not exclusive to interacting with AI; it mirrors the critical evaluation applied to any information source, given the prevalence of misinformation in various media. To enhance reliability, we're developing a tool called AI Crosscheck, which employs a secondary AI from a different provider to review the initial AI's output. This method increases the likelihood of verifying the accuracy of the information, as agreement between two independent AI systems reduces the chance of propagating false information.  Ultimately, navigating the landscape of information, whether from AI or human sources, demands discernment and proactive verification to mitigate the impact of misinformation. Engaging with AI, in this regard, is akin to navigating any information-rich environment, necessitating a judicious approach to discerning truth from falsehood. **What data protection and intellectual property concerns?** Clarifying concerns data protection and intellectual property (IP) when utilizing platforms like CYPHER is essential, as these questions are common across many users and similar platforms, including Microsoft's Copilot.  The primary concern revolves around how user data is handled: “Is it stored, or could it potentially be exposed or utilized without permission?” To address these concerns, it's important to note we do not store user data in CYPHER Agent. Instead, we interact with external APIs provided by companies such as Microsoft, which are legally obligated to protect user data as per their . Thus, any information sent through these APIs is processed securely and then discarded, with the resulting content—such as course material—remaining the sole property of the user, free from any claim of by the platform. This system ensures a high level of protection for users' data and intellectual property. For users of free services, there might be different policies in place regarding data usage for training purposes. However, when engaging with paid API services, there are stringent guarantees that the data will not be retained or misused, backed by the provider's financial and legal incentives to uphold these privacy standards. Thus, any information sent through these APIs is processed securely and then discarded, with the resulting content—such as course material—remaining the sole property of the user, free from any claim of by the platform. This system ensures a high level of protection for users' data and intellectual property.

Nations Trust Bank PLC is among the top 15 business establishments in Sri Lanka, as ranked by the Business Today Magazine. Nations Trust is also the bank behind Sri Lanka’s first fully-fledged digital banking experience, FriMi. The Bank operates 96 branches across the country and they have ATM coverage in 127 locations. They are also the sole issuer and acquirer of American Express® Cards in Sri Lanka. D.K Dinushika Madhubhashini, Deputy Manager - E-Learning and MIS, shares her experience of using CYPHER Learning® to deliver training to their employees in all branches across Sri Lanka. “Being able to generate reports on different data is very useful when it comes to tracking employee performance.” D.K Dinushika Madhubhashini, Deputy Manager INDUSTRY Finance COMPANY SIZE Enterprise HEADQUARTERS Sri Lanka SERVICES Financial products and services Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Improvements](#sub_section_1) [Features](#sub_section_2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Difficulty in providing mandatory training courses to dispersed staff across 96 branches in Sri Lanka - Lack of a learning solution tailored to meet the bank's training needs - Limited ability to track employee performance and identify areas needing improvement Trust Bank operates 96 branches across the country. Since our staff is divided everywhere in Sri Lanka, it is difficult to provide the complete mandatory courses in person. We did not have a learning solution to do that, but we were in need of one. That’s when we understood the need for an LMS. CYPHER's LMS, as well as the e-learning content development, were recommended by DESIGNBOO (Pvt). They were able to provide a solution after doing thorough research all the while keeping the business proposal in mind. ## The solution Two of our employees were trained through the DESIGNBOO team. As for the challenges that we faced along the way, we were able to count on the CYPHERsupport team right from the beginning. Support was helpful and provided quick responses. ### Improvements Ever since we started using the LMS we noticed some changes related to the training process. However, with the use of gamification, learning has become more interactive and it developed a competitive spirit for our employees. The rewards that we offer to them, in the form of virtual certifications, badges, or bonus points, encourage them to continue the training program and make the whole learning experience so much more diverse. ### Features One of the features that we are most grateful for is the support forum. Each time that we have a question or concern, we are able to get an answer in a timely manner. An important thing that we want to mention is how smooth the platform runs and the fact that there is no downtime. Our employees and administrators get to access the platform quickly, directly from their customized accounts. ## The results - Implementation of gamification features to enhance interactivity and foster a competitive learning environment - Utilization of CYPHER's reporting capabilities for effective performance tracking and targeted course improvements Being able to generate reports on different data is very useful when it comes to tracking employee performance. Based on those reports, we were able to track which course needs more attention and make those tweaks so that learners don’t have to struggle while completing their training. In the event of career advancements, we can see exactly which employees have taken the course and offer instant feedback. “An important thing that we want to mention is how smooth the platform runs and the fact that there is no downtime.

July 29, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 2 minutes read Learning management systems (LMSs) with a robust API enable seamless integration with HR systems, saving time, improving data accuracy, and automating workflows. CYPHER Learning stands out as a powerful LMS with an intuitive API designed for effortless connections with popular HR tools. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://cypherlearning.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/developers-api3?#Introduction) ## Why HR integration matters For organizations with 500 or more learners, syncing an LMS with an HR system is essential to: - Eliminate manual data entry. - Ensure real-time user provisioning and deprovisioning. - Track learning progress within existing HR dashboards. - Maintain compliance through automated training updates. HR departments require scalable, secure solutions that seamlessly integrate learning with talent management, payroll, and onboarding systems. ## Features to look for in an LMS API Not all LMS APIs are created equal. When evaluating LMS options, enterprises should look for APIs that: - Support REST or GraphQL standards. - Enable two-way data sync for users, groups, roles, and training status. - Allow SSO and secure token-based authentication. - Include detailed documentation and sandbox environments. - Support webhooks or event triggers for real-time syncs. These features enable more efficient integration with platforms such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP, BambooHR, and Oracle HCM Cloud. Sources: [Reco Security Experts](https://www.reco.ai/hub/workday-rest-api-integration-security), [SAP SuccessFactors Platform](https://help.sap.com/docs/successfactors-platform/sap-successfactors-api-reference-guide-odata-v2/-sap-successfactors-odata-apis-v2) ## How CYPHER Learning enables HR integration through API CYPHER Learning offers a modern LMS built for seamless connectivity. Its API is designed to support enterprise-scale HR workflows with: Sources: [CYPHER Learning](/faq/privacy-and-security), [CYPHER Learning](https://cypherlearning.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/developers-api3) - **RESTful API architecture**for scalable integration. - **Automated user provisioning and deprovisioning**using HRIS data. - **Course enrollment syncing**for mandatory training. - **HR-friendly reporting endpoints** to pull course completion and certification data. - **Role mapping and team hierarchy alignment.** Organizations can use the API to trigger events from their HR system, such as automatically enrolling a new employee in onboarding courses or updating access when someone changes departments. ## Real-world example: Automating onboarding A company with 500 employees using Workday can connect CYPHER Learning through its API to: 1. Automatically create a learner account once an employee record is created. 2. Enroll that learner in required onboarding modules. 3. Mark completion in the HR system via API callback. This eliminates duplicated effort, aligns training timelines with hiring, and ensures every employee starts with the same learning foundation. ## Other LMSs with API capabilities While CYPHER Learning is optimized for seamless HR system integration, other LMS platforms that offer API access include: - Cornerstone OnDemand – Offers API endpoints for HRIS integration but may require more complex setup. [Source: Cornerstone for Developers](https://csod.dev/guides/getting-started/) - Docebo – Includes an API for user and enrollment data, but has limitations with reporting endpoints. [Source: APIrefs](https://www.apirefs.com/apps/docebo) - **TalentLMS**– API available, but more suited for smaller organizations (under 500 learners). Enterprises should evaluate API documentation and support level before making a decision. ## What to ask when evaluating an LMS API To ensure compatibility and ease of use, organizations should ask: - Does the API support real-time or scheduled synchronization? - Are there limits on the number of API calls that can be made per day or account? - Is SSO supported, and what authentication methods are available? - Can we test integrations in a sandbox before deployment? - Does the vendor offer implementation support or API consulting? ## Summary When choosing an LMS with an API for HR system integration, it's essential to prioritize ease of connectivity, scalability, and support. CYPHER Learning offers a modern architecture, well-documented API, and tools like CYPHER Agent to streamline enterprise integration. This ensures that your HR systems and learning platforms work together efficiently and intelligently.

It customizes training content and pacing to match each employee's knowledge and needs [(Appsembler, Adaptive Learning, orate training by improving engagement, efficiency, and outcomes. It also highlights implementation strategies and the role of platforms like CYPHER Learning. ## The shift toward personalized, data-driven training Traditional corporate training uses uniform content and standard metrics, such as course completion. This approach often fails to engage employees who have varying backgrounds and skill levels. In contrast, **adaptive learning** analyzes learner data—performance, engagement, and feedback—in real time. This enables continuous content adjustment, personalized pathways, and relevant resource suggestions [(Training Journal, Unlocking Employee Potential, 2024)](https://www.trainingjournal.com/2024/content-type/features/unlocking-employee-potential-how-adaptive-learning-is-transforming-workplace-learning/). Why does personalization matter? Employees receive training tailored to their role and skill level, preventing repetition of known material. This targeted approach encourages deeper understanding and continuous engagement by matching challenge and simplicity to each learner’s needs [(Mindsmith, Unlocking Employee Potential, orate-training). ## Key benefits: efficiency, engagement, and measurable ROI Adaptive learning drives multiple benefits in corporate training: 1. **Increased engagement and motivation**Immediate feedback and real-time course adjustments keep learners motivated. Features like gamification and assessments ensure training matches employees’ abilities, fostering active participation and commitment [(Training Journal, Unlocking Employee Potential, 2024)](https://www.trainingjournal.com/2024/content-type/features/unlocking-employee-potential-how-adaptive-learning-is-transforming-workplace-learning/); [(UDUTU, The Power of Adaptive Learning, 2023)](https://www.udutu.com/11999-2/). 2. **Efficient use of learning time**Employees avoid spending time on topics they already master.

Its adaptable platform supports hybrid and remote teams, aligning with current trends in workforce flexibility [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2024, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ## Implementation strategies and overcoming common challenges Implementing adaptive learning requires careful planning: - **Employee buy-in**: Communicate benefits transparently. Use demos or pilots to engage staff. - **Quality content**: Employ AI authoring tools to transform traditional materials into interactive modules. - **Measurement**: Define clear success metrics, such as completion rates and skill improvements. Use analytics to fine-tune training continuously [(Mindsmith, Unlocking Employee Potential, orate-training). Platforms like CYPHER Learning simplify adoption through automation and user-friendly interfaces, reducing manual tasks for trainers and learners [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Why You Need an AI LMS, 2025)](/blog/business/why-you-need-an-ai-learning-management-system-to-elevate-your-training). ## The future: continuous learning and business resilience In a fast-changing environment, adaptive learning supports continuous skill development. Employees learn through microlearning while receiving real-time support via analytics. This dynamic approach fosters a culture of ongoing improvement and business resilience [(Onego, Transforming Corporate Training, orate-training-with-ai/).

They focus on multiple learning styles allowing students to discover their own strengths in how they learn. Their unique approach awakens students to discover their own unique expression of how they view education. They communicate what they’ve discovered and apply their knowledge to “the world outside of a classroom.” The Mr. D Math team is built from former students and families who have demonstrated self-directed learning in their own lives. We contribute to our current students, by supporting them to discover for themselves what is possible as self-directed learners. “When I first saw CYPHER, what I saw was a platform that we could never outgrow.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Managing diverse course offerings while ensuring effective curriculum delivery within budget constraints - Addressing the need for robust tech support and a user-friendly interface to accommodate varying levels of technological proficiency - Maintaining student engagement and facilitating seamless communication, especially for asynchronous learners with diverse schedules When we first started building our curriculum in 2010, we hired a company to create a platform to support our programs. However, the system they delivered was little more than a file storage solution—it lacked the functionality needed to manage courses, engage students, and scale effectively. With limited options at the time, we had to work within a platform that didn’t support true online learning. Discovering CYPHER was a turning point. We immediately saw a platform we would never outgrow—one that allowed us to seamlessly expand our curriculum without technical limitations. What started with math courses has since grown to include American sign language, study skills, writing, flamenco dance and guitar, and even physical education. As student demand continues to grow, CYPHER scalability and flexibility empower us to introduce new courses effortlessly and expand our impact without constraints. “That's one of the things CYPHER; it’s just so easy to continue to open new programs. CYPHER provides us with that scalability to continue adding different courses and growing our curriculum.” Dennis DiNoia, Founder ## The solution - Easy integration of affiliate marketing and e-commerce - AI-powered tools for assessments and course creation - Scalable offerings to support growing number of students **Exceptional support that drives confidence**: One of the standout aspects of CYPHER is the exceptional tech support. Whenever we have a question—whether it’s optimizing workflows or exploring new features—their support team is fast, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. We often recommend the platform to others, and when they ask what we love most, our first answer is always the incredible support. **Seamless affiliate marketing and e-commerce integration**: The ability to manage our affiliate marketing and shopping cart directly through CYPHER has been a game-changer. **CYPHER isn’t just a learning platform—it’s a business enabler.**Students can enroll in programs right from our website, and bloggers can promote courses via affiliate links, creating a win-win for expanding our student base and increasing visibility. **Purpose-built tools for math and interactive learning**:From a curriculum perspective, CYPHER offers robust tools that enhance our course-building process. The equation editor makes creating math quizzes seamless, whether we’re using simple text input or leveraging HTML for more advanced formatting. This feature has streamlined content creation and improved the learning experience for our students. **Flexibility and engagement at scale**:CYPHER allows us to run 100+ live classes per week, with the ability to record and archive sessions so students can review at their own pace. The platform fosters engagement in a way that traditional classrooms don’t—students can ask questions freely, interact with instructors in real time, and message teachers directly when they need help. This creates a safe, collaborative learning environment where students gain confidence and stay engaged. **Growth without limits**: As we scale, CYPHER seamlessly adapts to our growing student base. **When presented with an opportunity to onboard 500 new students, it was as simple as clicking a button**. The platform's scalability and automation eliminate logistical headaches, allowing us to focus on expanding our offerings rather than worrying system limitations. “CYPHER has allowed us to grow, evolve, and offer more learning opportunities—all while maintaining the high-quality experience that defines Mr. D Math.” Dennis DiNoia, Founder ## The results - 50x growth in student base with scalable learning programs - Features like skills tracking and integrations drive program adoption - Optimized classroom communication for both students and instructors **User-friendly design optimizes the student experience**: The most common feedback we receive from students is how easy and intuitive the platform is to navigate. With its clean, well-organized layout, students log in, get started, and seamlessly dive into their work. The system’s user-friendly design is so straightforward that students don’t even notice it—it’s completely transparent to their learning experience. By removing any barriers to navigation, the platform ensures nothing disrupts their focus or progress. **Substantial student population growth reflects program scalability**: Over the past decade, Mr. D Math has grown their student base from 200 to over 10,000, a testament to the effectiveness and scalability of their programs (that’s 50x!). The ability to accommodate learners at all levels has allowed them to continue expanding, meeting the needs of an increasing number of students eager to participate. This growth wouldn't have been possible if this approach hadn’t been working as seamlessly as it has. **Seamless student progress tracking secures new Charter School Deal**:Mr. D Math won a new charter school customer by demonstrating how CYPHER automated skills tracking makes it effortless for administrators to view student progress at a glance. During a sales call, the school wanted to ensure they could see all a student’s classes in one place, with both summary and detailed grade views. The CYPHER intuitive student profile view directly met their needs, giving them confidence to move forward with our test prep program. **Flexible integrations enhance school adoption and engagement**: Beyond securing new customers, CYPHER integration capabilities help us customize content delivery to fit schools’ existing platforms. When a school required our programs to be available within Canvas, the CYPHER APIs and LTI quiz features allowed us to seamlessly deliver a tailored solution. This adaptability ensures schools can easily adopt our program without disrupting their existing workflows, making implementation smoother and engagement stronger. **Hybrid learning models facilitate effective classroom communication**: More traditional public schools are turning to platforms like CYPHER as the ideal solution for improving communication between teachers and students. As schools embrace a hybrid learning model, there's a growing recognition that some students prefer in-person classes, while others thrive with online learning. A flexible platform like CYPHER empowers schools to offer both options, allowing students to choose what works best for them. “CYPHER lets us grow. There are no limits to what we can do with CYPHER.” Dennis DiNoia, Founder ## Resource **What does it take to grow an online course business?** Podcast [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Training-and-Coaching-company.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

That’s where a great call-to-action (CTA) phrase comes in. In marketing, a CTA is the phrase that invites the audience to take a desired action. A CTA is usually a hyperlinked button in a stand out color and size, a header, or a photo so that newsletter readers or visitors to your website can easily click through to your service once they’re interested. Common examples include “Buy now,” or “Click here!” These simple CTAs can be useful, but as an online course entrepreneur, you’ll probably want to write CTAs that are more creative and unique to your business. Using strong call-to-action phrases in an online course is the best way to attract new learners. ## What’s the point of call-to-action phrases in an online course? Before writing your call-to-action phrase, review why they are important and best practices for writing them: ### Why are CTAs so important? Call-to-action buttons [encourage your audience to take actions](https://www.sba.gov/blog/what-call-action-why-do-you-need-one-your-website) that will encourage sharing of your content and boost sales. Without a good CTA, anyone viewing your newsletter, email, or website has to search for the next step and make decisions on their own, and they are less likely to be persuaded to check out what your course offers. That’s why choosing a well-worded CTA is a key step toward generating traffic for your online course business. Anything you can do to create a frictionless, stress-free experience for your potential customer brings you one step closer to making another sale. ### Choose the right wording By utilizing simple and actionable words, a well-crafted CTA will catch the audience’s eye and allow them to process their decision quickly. Words are powerful, and the right ones can perfectly promote your business. Some characteristics of effective call-to-action phrases in an online course are: - They are brief (brevity is the soul of wit!); - They focus on benefits that are clear and specific; - They may suggest [urgency to motivate immediate action](https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/create-sense-of-urgency-in-prospect-roleplay); - They lead directly to the promised result with one click; - They use first-person pronouns (“Start my free trial”) because studies suggest [first-person pronouns will trigger more sales](https://www.clickz.com/me-vs-you-how-pronouns-affect-click-conversion-rates/32596/) than second-person pronouns (“Start your free trial”) will. ## Call-to-action phrases in an online course Let’s look at 50 examples of call-to-action phrases you can use to attract learners: ### Money-saving CTAs Let’s face it: people like free stuff. Some of the best call-to-action phrases entice your audience because they will like the potential to get a great deal. Money-saving CTAs like these are perfect if you want to pitch a sample service, offer zero-cost signup, or provide another free feature you’d like to advertise to your audience. 1.

That’s because you want your learners to feel like they’re freely exploring an appealing prospect instead of making a difficult decision or being pushed to make a big commitment. Also, be sure that you’re informed of current best practices on how to [bypass the toughest spam filters](https://www.tiny.cloud/resources/how-to-bypass-spam-filtering/) so that your marketing messages won’t be filtered somewhere that your potential customers will never see. ### Course description CTAs These call-to-action phrases describe the quality of your online course itself and can be combined with your hyperlinked CTA. They’ll draw a reader in and get them interested enough to click through to the next step. 1. The ultimate guide to … 2. Start learning today 3. Earn my degree 4. Find the right course for you 5. Transform how you … 6. The only course you’ll ever need 7. Always wanted to master …? 8. The ultimate workshop 9. The perfect course for … 10.

Copy experts say that the best, [most effective questions](https://copyhackers.com/2015/09/asking-questions/) are those that have absurdly obvious answers. ### Newsletter CTAs A newsletter is a great way to keep learners up to date with your current course offers. Newsletters are also a perfect place to share something with your audience that is more personalized than the content you might choose to publish on a public website. This can help subscribers feel like they are part of a special subgroup and encourage further engagement. Each email newsletter should include direct links to your website or signup page. 1. Subscribe 2. See course schedule 3. Watch … now 4. Join today 5. Get updates on … 6. Check out the course here 7. Take action 8. See how … 9. Receive the latest news 10.

Take a tour ## Call-to-action phrases in an online course: What’s next? Display your CTA in a very prominent place that readers can’t miss. Remember that a call-to-action is a bridge into the next step of the audience’s learning experience, and they can’t walk that bridge if they don’t find it first. When you are choosing a font for your CTA, it is usually best to use bright colors and large text. But if you really want to turn your CTA choices into a science, there are marketing experts who do studies which [typography is most likely to capture attention](https://blog.hubspot.com/website/how-to-choose-fonts-for-marketing), resonate emotionally with your readers, and align with your brand message. After you choose the right call-to-action phrases for your course, run LMS analytics to measure what does and doesn’t work. This assessment can tell you which CTA phrases are best suited for your specific audience and will get the best results. Consider using A/B, or “split,” testing to [compare the performance](https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/articles/content-optimization-advantage-performance-testing/) of the different CTAs you try. Once you figure out what needs tweaking, you can always come back to this list and adjust your wording choice. There are plenty of great options to choose from! Finally, remember that selling your online course is the start of a relationship, and trust is important to maintain that. So be sure to pick a CTA that stays true to the spirit and content of your course material. If you exceed your learners’ expectations, they will not only love your current course but also be eager to buy your next one!

Informal learning is very **cost effective and learner-oriented**, promoting a growth mindset. There are many ways to encourage it in an organization because businesses are made of people and that is how they **grow and acquire information**. Once the best suited mediums are set up, it will all flow unhindered from there. Most informal learning happens with no intentionality on the learner’s part but there are some ways to **facilitate** it. Here are eight of them: 1. ### A good buddy system People learn best from those they like or admire. Chemistry is important, so setting up a framework in which employees can **choose a mentor** is a first step. Of course, this will only work if the company has an overall **growth culture** that encourages asking questions, experience sharing, and shadowing. 2. ### On the job experimentation People learn best from **first-hand experience**, but most often they are afraid of making mistakes in the workplace so they hesitate to tackle **challenging issues** or look for ways to innovate. However, if the company encourages employees to **experiment** without worrying being reprimanded, they will feel more comfortable and become **more productive**. 3. ### A job rotation system Most of the issues that occur among employees from various departments that need to **work together** come from a lack of true understanding of what **each role implies**. Giving people the **opportunity to experience** what it’s like to work at somebody else’s desk will allow them to **expand their knowledge** and their understanding of how the organization works. 4. ### Dedicated time for employee projects People need to have a **sense of purpose** to be motivated. The outcomes for a company that allows time for **employee projects** can be tremendous - Gmail, Google Maps, Twitter and Slack all started as side projects. If the organization can’t afford to give away so much time there can be a couple of days per semester when people can team up and work on what they like. 5. ### Social sharing Harnessing the immense **power of social media** in the organization can be beneficial. Everything from microblogs to wikis, video sharing, article sharing and online forums will boost learning. **L&D professionals** can act as moderators but the **content** should be primarily **user-generated** or shared. 6. ### Communities of practice This is similar with social sharing, but has a more targeted objective. **Internet-based communities of practice** can act as useful hubs for people who work in the same areas. They can **connect, share ideas** and even **work together** on projects when that proves necessary or simply more effective. 7. ### On-demand learning Having a set of well thought out **learning programs** ensures that all employees will get a certain degree of instruction. In addition, an organization with a **solid growth culture** that encourages **informal learning** should have an **open library** with different resources from books to e-learning modules. 8. ### Fun and games Last but not least, a lot of learning is done through games. Incorporating **game mechanics** not only in formal training interventions but also in **everyday activities** will **increase retention** and bring **higher engagement rates**. Ultimately, games can be serious business and generate great results. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

They’ve tried a few solutions, but the broader team wants a platform that encourages teamwork, peer feedback, and instant idea-sharing. Sound familiar? While 360Learning is a popular choice among trainers and teams, there are many other collaborative options and platforms available. In this guide, we’ll uncover a few [standout LMS alternatives](/business), each designed to foster collaboration and improve the ability for teams and individuals to work together on shared learning priorities. ## What is collaborative learning? Collaborative learning is an educational approach that involves learners working together to achieve a common learning objective. This approach encourages active (rather than passive) learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It also helps learners develop essential “soft” skills like communication, teamwork, and leadership. Collaborative learning platforms provide a structured environment for learners to interact with peers and instructors to achieve learning objectives. In a collaborative environment, learners share knowledge, experiences, and perspectives, and learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Through this perspective, learners develop a deeper understanding of subjects and build a sense of community and camaraderie. Collaborative learning platforms provide a range of features and tools that support this joint effort, including discussion forums, live chats, video conferencing, and [gamification elements](/resources/product-tours/business/gamification). ## What is a collaborative LMS platform? Collaborative learning platforms foster communal learning, where learners interact with each other and with instructors to achieve corporate learning objectives. This type of learning puts students in places where they can engage in ways that go far beyond text in a course module. In other words, this isn’t passive lectures and slide decks. An LMS that prioritizes collaboration gives learners the ability to access important material while connecting in more meaningful ways with instructors, peers, and the organization as a whole. ## How to select a collaborative LMS When selecting a collaborative learning platform, it’s essential to consider the following factors: - **Built-in forums and peer-to-peer feedback** - facilitate idea sharing and input. - **Real-time messaging** - Access instant communication between participants. - **Real-time analytics** - Get live progress tracking to offer support and troubleshooting. - **Scalable tools for teams** - Enable growth through social learning. - **Mobile accessibility** - Collaborate on learning goals anytime, anywhere. Imagine an enterprise tech company onboarding hundreds of engineers across global offices. That company needs to choose the right collaborative learning platform in order to host interactive coding workshops, share project-specific resources, and track skill development. By turning to a collaborative LMS, leaders can ensure that every team member is ready to tackle complex challenges. ### How does an LMS Improve collaboration? An LMS fosters collaboration by centralizing communication and resources in one platform. - Features like discussion boards, live chat, and group projects enable real-time interaction and idea sharing among learners and instructors. - Collaborative tools such as shared documents and team assignments promote teamwork, even in remote or hybrid settings. - Tracking tools allow instructors to monitor group progress and give timely feedback, ensuring everyone stays on the same page. By providing a structured environment for focused work, an LMS helps build stronger connections and encourages active participation. Whether it’s for corporate training, onboarding, or [continuing education](/solutions/continuing-education), these features make learning more interactive and engaging. ### Evaluating features and functionality When evaluating [LMS alternatives](/blog/business/13-best-lms-corporate-training-options-to-boost-efficiency-and-engagement), it’s essential to consider the features and functionality that meet your organization’s specific needs. Some considerations include: - **Course management**: Can you easily manage course creation, editing, and content deletion? Effective course management ensures that training programs are well-organized and easy to navigate or maintain. - **Personalized learning paths**: Consider a platform that allows you to create customized learning paths for different learners or groups. Personalized learning paths help address individual learning needs and skill gaps. - **Collaborative learning**: Evaluate platforms that offer real-time collaboration features, such as discussion forums, live chats, and video conferencing. These tools facilitate knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer learning. - **Mobile accessibility**: Accessibility on various devices is a huge perk for remote and hybrid teams, allowing learners to access training material at any point. - **Integration**: Consider platforms that integrate with existing tools and systems. Easy integration enhances the learning experience and streamlines administrative tasks. ### Consider budgetary constraints and scalability When selecting 360Learning alternatives, evaluate platforms based on flexible pricing plans and the ability to grow as your team does. Consider: - **Cost**: Calculate the total cost of ownership, including any additional fees, support costs, and implementation expenses. Understanding the full financial commitment helps in making an informed decision. - **Scalability**: Can a platform scale with your organization’s growth? You might need to accommodate more users, courses, and content. A scalable LMS can grow with your organization, avoiding the need for frequent platform changes. - **ROI**: Evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of the platform based on productivity, improved learner engagement, and reduced training costs. A high ROI indicates that the platform effectively meets your training needs and contributes to organizational success. ## Comparing 360Learning alternatives Collaborative learning platforms are designed to facilitate collaborative learning, where learners can interact with each other and with instructors to achieve learning objectives. These platforms provide features such as discussion forums, live chats, and video conferencing to enable real-time communication and collaboration. ### 1.

Encourage knowledge-sharing and the creation of user-generated content to foster a sense of community. Additionally, regularly measure engagement and collect feedback to refine your learning programs and improve outcomes. ## Know your LMS options Exploring 360Learning alternatives?

While determining which ones are the right ones always depends on each organization’s needs and objectives, **here are some predictions for 2019 that can make the decision easier**: 1. ### Video learning will gain more terrain Video content is **so popular that it gave the term ‘viral’ a positive connotation** to go along the ominous epidemiological meaning it originally had. 60% of YouTube subscribers* follow advice of video creators rather than their favourite movie or TV personality. As a consequence, whether learning will be instructor-led with meaningful videos intercalated or e-learning with a strong video component, it’s **definitely a growing trend for the year to come**. 2. ### Micro learning is a major trend Bite-size learning units are **both cost and time-effective** and they hold the great advantage of being available on demand, unlike extensive instructor-led courses. Micro learning is a great way of **deploying objective driven instruction that easily reaches everyone in the organization**. Both the deployment process and the results are a lot easier to track so this type of brief and to the point learning is here to stay. 3. ### Adaptive learning is on the rise Corporate learning has already begun to tap into the potential adaptive learning has both for engagement and productivity. In orating effective assessment tools will ensure users can skip content they are familiar with and navigate only what is really relevant and useful to them. 4. ### Game-based learning is here to stay Adapting to the audience is crucial when the end **objective is to provide learning that is later translated in the workplace**. Today’s audience is mainly Millennials, a generation raised on games and the instant gratification given by a passed level or a top place on the leaderboard. Companies that provide the technology to gamify learning are well aware of the immense potential, as **53% of stakeholders consider that by 2020 gamification will be widespread***. 5. ### AR and VR are showing a lot of promise Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are emerging as **very engaging and effective ways of implementing learning**.

When employers assess the rationale for a skills development program, they usually focus too much on the business need to improve employee skills and not enough on employee expectations for skill training programs. Meeting employee needs is a key component of obtaining employee buy-in for training objectives — a necessary ingredient for ensuring a good return on investment for training and development expenditures. In [LinkedIn’s rease employee confidence that their employer cares their career development and future. ## What do employees need from a skills development program? Employers don’t have to guess what employees want, because if they ask, employees will tell them. Here are four employee expectations that every skills development program must meet: ### 1. Employees want to be competitive in the labor market Employee confidence decreases when COVID and automation threaten jobs. A [Boston Consulting Group and The Network](https://www.bcg.com/press/28april2021-worried--pandemics-aftermath-workers-say-they-would-train-new-career) study found that more than a third of workers globally lost their jobs or had to accept reduced work hours because of business closures or slowdowns stemming from COVID. Employees know that the more competitive their skills, the more likely they will be to maintain employment, which is why upskilling is so crucial. Gallup defines upskilling as training that teaches new skills or upgrades existing skills, while some learning experts differentiate between upskilling as upgrading existing skills and reskilling as learning new skills. A [Gallup/Amazon](https://www.gallup.com/analytics/354374/the-american-upskilling-study.aspx) study found that nearly two-thirds of workers believe employer-provided upskilling is very important to evaluating whether to stay in their current job or accept a new job offer. The trend is highest among employees earning $120K+ per year. Young workers (age 18 to 24) listed upskilling as the third most important benefit when evaluating a new job, with only health insurance and disability benefits ranked as more important.

Employees want career advancement Anxiety is high among all workers post-COVID, but remote workers, in particular, are [worried falling behind in their careers](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/01/return-to-office-fears-remote-workers-worry--careers.html). The most desirable employers will be those who offer remote employees an effective skills development plan with a clear path to career advancement. Additionally, employees appreciate mentorship from people who are farther along in their careers and can share wisdom and experience. For some employees, career advancement in an area aligned with their interests and values will mean changing their career focus, so smart employers will enable employees to change their functional roles. Employees who work in positions that suit them best are more likely to stay loyal to an employer. For employees to judge their employers as fair and inclusive, career-building skills must be available to all, not just a chosen few. For example, leadership training is valuable to all employees who aspire to become managers, whether now or in the future. Employees can feel “stuck” at their current level if an organization limits leadership training to those who have already landed in the executive suite. ### 3. Employees want training to be personalized and relevant It frustrates employers when the skills their workers learned in school are out of sync with the skills needed to succeed on the job. Employees, too, want training to be immediately valuable. This means “one size fits all” learning is less likely to benefit employees than learning that is both practical and tailored for each employee’s individual learning goals. Because many organizations are understaffed, employees have limited time to take part in learning. [Personalized learning](/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training/) is quicker because it will focus only on what the learner needs to know. Even highly motivated employees only have so many hours in a day, so personalization is one way to make learning useful for time-crunched employees. Personalization is increasingly the norm in technology, entertainment, and shopping, so learners also expect these characteristics in their training programs. Employees are happiest and most productive when their work expectations are clear, the organization aligns training with what they need to learn, and they know what rewards they will earn if they meet their performance objectives. ### 4. Employees want training to be accessible and convenient Employees want collaborative technology [to support agile learning](https://hbr.org/2021/05/what-your-future-employees-want-most). Some promising learning trends that make training more accessible and convenient are: - [Remote](https://hrnews.co.uk/how-to-provide-personalised-training-and-support-for-remote-workforces/) – Because so many jobs now are remote, it is important for employers to offer remote opportunities to learn. - [Asynchronous](/blog/business/exploring-5-types-of-asynchronous-training) – Employees can complete learning at the time and place of their choice. - [Micro learning](https://elearningindustry.com/what-is-microlearning-benefits-best-practices) – The training offers a format where learners can master small amounts of information in a short amount of time. - [Gamification](https://elearningindustry.com/gamification-for-learning-strategies-and-examples) – The creators of the skills development program make it fun and game-like. ## Employee requirements that a skills development program has to address Employers will enjoy better outcomes from their skills development programs if they align training objectives with employee learning objectives. They need to offer employees training that helps them remain competitive and advance in their careers, that is complete, personalized, relevant, and also accessible and convenient.

Unlike in a traditional classroom, the instructor and students are not together in the same physical location during remote learning. Usually, students and instructors communicate on their computers via video call in a remote environment, but asynchronous courses don’t have a meeting component. Students and teachers enjoy the benefits of this method as students can participate from anywhere and time spent commuting to work or school is eliminated. While remote learning is more flexible than the traditional classroom setup, it can be difficult for students to [build interpersonal connections](/blog/k-20/connecting-with-students-in-the-online-classroom) in the digital classroom, especially during asynchronous remote courses. These connections are critical to student success, with [studies indicating](https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ904072.pdf) that students are more likely to engage during class and take responsibility for their learning when they feel personally connected to their peers in their online learning environment. To reach disconnected, unengaged students, instructors can use virtual tools to engage students in their courses and foster relationships with other students. Let’s get started! ## 1. Virtual Fundraising Programs Fundraising is vital for both schools and universities. At K-12 schools, teachers, staff, and students may rely on fundraising revenue for classroom supplies or field trips. In higher ed settings, universities might fundraise on behalf of nonprofits or causes they are passionate or for their own programs. In both cases, holding class- or institution-wide fundraisers can help bring a sense of connection among students by having them work together to benefit a worthy cause. If you have the option to choose a fundraising idea for your class, ask students to weigh in before settling on a cause. After all, they are more likely to participate in fundraisers for reasons they are passionate and structured in a fun way. Here are a few ideas for gathering ideas and student feedback for your fundraiser: - Highlight several local nonprofits and ask students to vote for the one they’d like to support. - Send out a survey before class asking students what causes they are passionate , then select a fundraiser that aligns with the most popular one. - Allow students to present nonprofits they support to the class as a “request” for support. Make sure the fundraising method you choose to raise money through is accessible. In other words, students should not have significant time or resources to participate. For instance, [according to Funds2Orgs](https://funds2orgs.com/school-fundraising-ideas-guide/), shoe drive fundraisers are one of the most inclusive, accessible fundraising methods because students can simply give a pair of their gently worn, used or new shoes that they already have in their closet rather than making a financial donation. ## 2. Registration Software [Class registration](https://www.regpacks.com/blog/class-registration-software/) is essential in managing remote learning and increasing your bandwidth to provide quality education. A smooth registration process also makes life easier for your students and gives them a positive first impression of your course, getting them excited learning. Plus, they’ll benefit from the extra time you can spend hosting office hours or giving them in-depth feedback on an essay or project. If your online course is not associated with a school or university, investing in reliable registration software is even more critical. Your prospective students are likely comparing your program against other similar courses, and having an easy-to-navigate registration process could mean they choose your course over the competition. Look for registration software that makes life easier for you as an instructor. [According to CommunityPass](https://www.communitypass.net/blog/school-registration-management-software), your registration solution should have features like scheduling capabilities, attendance tracking, communication tools, and reporting features in addition to facilitating enrollment. Registration software takes these administrative tasks off your plate to give you more time to plan content, develop engaging learning activities, provide additional support to students, and provide a better student experience overall. ## 3. Learning Platform A learning platform is essential for online classrooms. And that’s true whether you’re instructing an online course that [teaches students soft skills](/blog/k-20/teach-soft-skills-to-online-students) they’ll need in their careers or an intro-level geography course at a university. Your learning platform organizes the course’s content, hosts key resources, and delivers tests, quizzes, and projects. In addition to keeping assignments, lectures, and resources organized, learning platforms can help students track deadlines and engage with your course. Here are a few ways your learning management system can boost student engagement online: - **Hosting discussion forums.** Without in-person learning opportunities and extracurricular activities like [sports or band](https://funds2orgs.com/sports-fundraising-ideas-guide/), you have to get creative with building community in the virtual classroom. With an online discussion forum, you can encourage students to write their opinions and takeaways from the course content, share them with their classmates, and interact with other students. Not only do discussion posts require students to engage more deeply with content, but they can also learn new perspectives from their peers. - **Facilitating group projects.** Group projects are a great way to encourage students to engage with their peers outside of class and work together to understand and apply content to real-life scenarios. For instance, students in an advertising course may work together to create an advertising campaign for a genuine brand. You can leverage your learning management system to create these groups, track their progress, and schedule required group meetings. - **Gathering feedback.** You can easily post surveys on your learning management platform to ask students what’s going well in the course and what could be improved. The benefits of student feedback are twofold. First, students will feel acknowledged if they see their suggestions implemented in your class. Second, by implementing student feedback, you can tweak your course to be more engaging for students and fit their unique learning needs. A robust learning management system can also help you stay organized and keep in touch with students. For instance, you might send out text and email reminders upcoming assignments and tests or field questions from students through your learning management platform. ## 4. In-Class Polling Tools In-class polling tools like Tophat or Kahoot are popular tools instructors use to [create more interactive learning spaces](/blog/k-20/creating-more-interactive-learning-spaces-in-the-new-school-year). Not only do these tools require little time and effort from instructors, but they are also highly effective. [Studies show](https://pressbooks.pub/techandcurr2019/chapter/polling-tools-and-engagement/) that mobile polling tools positively impact student engagement, potentially leading to higher retention rates and more robust academic performance. In your remote course, you can use these tools to take attendance and gauge students’ mastery of course content. Some instructors use these polls as knowledge checks when teaching new content, polling students throughout a lecture to understand how well they know the new material. Another option is to create a series of questions similar to those on an upcoming test or quiz to help students prepare. Regardless of your chosen method, polls can help you increase engagement and boost student participation because they switch students from passive listeners to active participants. ## Conclusion During virtual learning, one of the most important factors to consider is ensuring students feel involved in the course. That means you’ll need to get creative and use various tools and teaching methods to engage students, including [introducing unique fundraisers to the class](https://funds2orgs.com/unique-fundraising-ideas-guide/) or assigning group projects. As you introduce these new programs and tools into your virtual classroom, remember to always keep accessibility, inclusivity, and [diverse representation](/blog/k-20/why-representation-matters) at the forefront of your mind.

So, as with any online endeavor, it is necessary to **stand out** among other people that are also selling their courses online. That is why we present to you a short guide to **kickstart your personal branding** journey: 1. ### Define your purpose Finding your ”why” is an often-repeated piece of advice in the business world. That is because it works. So, to start playing your cards right, you might want to ask questions such as: **What do I stand for? What do I want to achieve with my online course?** and **Why would anyone choose my course and not someone else’s?** 2. ### Do not get stuck in the details Some creative entrepreneurs might want to choose a different name for their **online business**. However, it’s OK to change your mind when you find a better idea. People, just as businesses, are allowed to **re-brand** anytime they want, and you don’t need to get stuck in the naming phase before doing anything for your personal brand. 3. ### Choose your platform Although it feels like you have to be everywhere in order to be visible online, the secret to success is to **persevere with one platform**. Choose a main platform to **host your courses**, such as an **LMS**. Then, choose a **social media channel** that brings most of your customers to your website. For starters, less is actually more. 4. ### Consistency is key If you want to **successfully use your personal brand** to sell online courses, you need to **show consistency** in what you do. Use the same username everywhere, whether it is your online course URL, podcast host, or social media. Keep platforms up to date, such as your blog or Instagram, and show consistency in your message to your audience. 5. ### Sharing your message The best personal branding examples out there all share a common thing: **effective storytelling**. The message that you will share with your audience needs to be uniquely you. This should be **reflected in everything you do**, from the images you post to what you write on social media, your brand colors, and more. 6. ### Engaging your audience **Engagement** can be the key to attracting more and more learners to your online courses. The “secret” is to **be relatable**, as people want to learn from a person, not a business.

Part 2: Assessment and demonstration of competency **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/what-is-competency-based-learning-part-2-assessment-and-demonstration-of-competency **Last Modified:** 2024-07-31 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [Course design](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/course-design) # What is competency-based Learning? Part 2: Assessment and demonstration of competency May 10, 2023 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 2 minutes read In the [first part of this series](/blog/business/what-is-competency-based-learning), we discussed a different, better, and more effective way to learn: **competency-based learning**. This next post is the assessment and demonstration of competency using a competency-based learning approach. ## Traditional learning platforms weren’t build for modern learners Traditional online learning systems are limited in their ability to accurately and reliably assess competency for one very simple reason: traditional online learning systems weren’t built for the modern learner. For assessment, these systems usually only support one one or two types of assessments with a heavy reliance on multiple-choice quizzes and other antiquated tests that fall short of accurately assessing mastery of a topic or a skill. While these assessments can ascertain a learner’s basic understanding of the material, they don’t provide a comprehensive view of a learner's understanding or the ability to use this useful data in a meaningful way. Additionally, simple assessment types in legacy environments can be easily gamed, allowing learners to memorize answers, guess correctly, or guess as many times as it takes to pass the test rather than really demonstrate understanding of the topic. ## CYPHER legitimizes assessments and competency In addition to providing an engaging and personalized, modern learning experience supported by unique skills development features, site-wide automation, and flexible integrations, CYPHER takes a competency-based learning approach that ensures learners demonstrate mastery of a skill or concept before they move forward to the next lesson. The CYPHER platform offers fifteen assessment types, including question banks, essays, gamification, self-evaluation, and more, ensuring that learners can demonstrate proficiency and competency. Use a combination of different assessment types to: - **Improve the accuracy and reliability of competency assessments**. For example, assessments like essays, presentations, and case studies may provide a more comprehensive assessment of a student’s understanding and skills. - **Foster creativity and critical thinking among learners**. For example, project-based assessments encourage learners to work together, think outside the box, and apply their knowledge in a real-world context, solve complex problems, and think creatively. - **Give instructors a better understanding of student engagement, progress, and performance** to personalize recommendations and modify instruction as needed. ## Benefits of competency-based learning with CYPHER The benefits of competency-based learning with CYPHER include: - Mastery-based progression: Learners advance to the next competency or learning level only after demonstrating mastery of the current competency. With clarity of level mastery for each competency, recommendations based on requirements to master remaining competencies, multiple assessments of each competency. - Purpose-driven: Clearly defined learning objectives allow learners to understand the specific knowledge and skills they are expected to master with clearly defined competencies. - Flexible pacing: Learners progress at their pace, spending more time on challenging concepts and moving quickly through concepts they grasp more easily. This enables learners to take ownership of their learning process and progress according to their needs and abilities. - Personalized, real-world learning experiences: Competency-based learning supports personalized learning pathways, with instruction and support tailored to meet the unique needs of each learner, and encourages “aha” learning moments.Assessment and competency: Frequent assessments, both formative and summative, measure students' progress toward mastering each competency. - Recognition of prior learning: CYPHER includes mechanisms for recognizing and crediting prior learning assessments whether from formal education, work experience, or other sources. - Intuitive, personalized, and collaborative experience that modern learners expect: Features include site-wide automation, gamification, and integrations significantly improve the learning experience. - Connected learning communities: learners have visibility into what’s happening around them, are easily able to communicate and collaborate with peers and instructors. ## Try the competency-based learning approach on CYPHER We hope that you have a better understanding of competency-based learning and assessment, how CYPHER can help you implement this learning approach in your organization, and how you can eliminate the disappointment and frustration that often comes with conventional learning approaches. CYPHER can help you to ensure employees learn the right things at the right time, that they learn them for the right reasons, and that they are able to demonstrate their real-world proficiency before they advance. Ready to experience firsthand how CYPHER can help your organization with a competency-based learning approach to make learning, fun, meaningful, and effective?

Powered by AI, CYPHER Agent empowers users to create comprehensive, engaging and gamified courses and assessments that would normally take days, weeks or even months in minutes. Furthermore, as courses and assessments are automatically aligned to specific competencies, everyone in the learning process benefits from a fine-grained approach that supports personalized learning. A world first, CYPHER Agent is available now through the CYPHER modern learning platform. CYPHER Agent removes 80% of the work required to design and curate courses, competencies and assessments, meaning teachers and trainers can focus their attention on the final 20%. Key features include: - **Accelerated curriculum and course design**, including course outlines, descriptions and content in over 50 languages. CYPHER Agent enables the generation of an entire course in under 5 minutes, allowing the selection of materials that reflect individuals’ style and objectives in a fast and cost-effective way. - **Targeted assessments to track learner progression and identify gaps**, including rubric creation and question banks. CYPHER Agent helps trainers and educators to automatically generate detailed quizzes, games, and assessments to help evaluate learner progress. - **Alignment with a full competency-based learning model**. CYPHER Agent enables organizations to generate competencies, create courses that align to those competencies, along with question banks and assignments that automatically align with those competencies - right down to the question level. - **Embedded gamification to increase learner engagement**. CYPHER Agent gamifies courses to bring development to life and inspire learners, improving information retention and understanding to deliver better outcomes. “Competency based learning unlocks the potential for personalized learning - the holy Grail of skills development. Yet until now, it's just not been possible at scale,” comments Graham Glass, CYPHER Learning CEO. “Building and designing development courses is an important part of any teacher or instructor’s job, but it is also very time-consuming. Yet demand for courses is steadily increasing. 33% of the skills needed three years ago are already irrelevant, according to Gartner. At the same time, global teacher shortages are bringing educational institutions to their knees. Something’s got to give. Teachers and instructors do not have the resources to keep up with demand.” CYPHER Agent is designed to address these issues, Glass continues: “CYPHER Agent harnesses the power of AI to take care of the mundane aspects of course creation, while still curating dynamic, gamified, multimedia, engaging courses that inspire a passion for lifelong learning. CYPHER Agent is simple and intuitive to use, giving teachers and instructors an AI guided smart assistant who can cut their workload by 80% or more. This accelerates course development, allowing teachers and trainers to focus on the final 20% to polish and refine, ensuring that new courses can be added to stay ahead of the curve. This helps to ensure that human talent is focused where it needs to be, on delivering better outcomes for the learner and the business.” [Learn more CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) ## CYPHER Learning CYPHER Learning exists to give learners the power to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

This article highlights key training hurdles fintech firms face and explores effective solutions, including modern learning platforms such as CYPHER Learning [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ## The innovation imperative and its training implications ### Constant technological evolution Fintech companies continually adopt cutting-edge technologies like AI, machine learning, and blockchain to transform financial services. This fast-paced innovation requires employees to frequently update their skills. Training programs must cover current technologies and prepare staff for future advancements through adaptable and forward-looking curricula [(Visa, Four Challenges Facing Fintechs, orate.visa.com/en/products/visa-direct/blog/four-challenges-facing-fintech-businesses-around-the-world.html), [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ### Balancing human and technical skills Despite automation, customers still value human interaction for sensitive financial matters. Fintech training must combine technical skill development with interpersonal and customer service training. This unique dual focus helps build trust and delivers empathetic, high-tech service—a necessity distinct from traditional finance or tech sectors [(Visa, Four Challenges Facing Fintechs, orate.visa.com/en/products/visa-direct/blog/four-challenges-facing-fintech-businesses-around-the-world.html). ## Regulatory complexity and compliance training ### Navigating a global regulatory maze Fintech firms face diverse regulations, such as PSD2 for payments and GDPR for data privacy, which differ by region. Non-compliance risks severe financial and reputational damage. Therefore, training must be comprehensive, current, and tailored to specific regulatory environments fintechs operate within [(Visa, Four Challenges Facing Fintechs, orate.visa.com/en/products/visa-direct/blog/four-challenges-facing-fintech-businesses-around-the-world.html). ### Anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements Strict AML and KYC regulations demand that fintech employees thoroughly understand complex procedures and detect financial crimes. Training goes beyond checklists; it must foster a culture of compliance and critical thinking to adapt to emerging threats effectively [(Visa, Four Challenges Facing Fintechs, orate.visa.com/en/products/visa-direct/blog/four-challenges-facing-fintech-businesses-around-the-world.html). ## Bridging financial and digital literacy gaps ### Financial inclusion and digital empowerment Many fintech customers, especially in underserved markets, lack financial and digital literacy. Fintech firms should extend training beyond employees to include customer education through personalized coaching and support. This helps build trust and encourages wider adoption of fintech services [(University of Twente, Addressing Financial and Digital Literacy, lusiv). ### Internal workforce literacy Within fintech organizations, not all staff have strong foundations in finance and technology. Upskilling across departments is essential. Training must be accessible, engaging, and relevant for diverse roles, enabling all employees to add value effectively [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ## Strategies for effective fintech training ### Personalization and scalability Fintech’s diverse workforce requires training tailored to individual needs.

Microlearning delivers concise, focused lessons for quick skill acquisition and immediate application. User-generated content and social learning features increase relevance and foster continuous improvement [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ### Integrating compliance into daily workflows Compliance should be embedded in daily tasks rather than treated as a separate activity. Tools such as real-time dashboards, automated reporting, and competency mapping in platforms like CYPHER Learning help maintain compliance as a core responsibility [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ### Collaboration with academic and industry partners Partnering with academic institutions and industry groups helps fintechs stay current with emerging trends. Programs like the NextGen Enterprise Academy bridge theoretical knowledge and practical fintech skills, preparing professionals for sector-specific challenges [(NextGen Enterprise Academy, 2025)](https://wne.edu/fintech/nextgen-enterprise-academy). ## The role of AI and automation in fintech training AI and automation streamline fintech training by reducing administrative tasks, personalizing learning paths, and providing real-time feedback. These technologies help fintech firms keep pace with regulatory updates, technological shifts, and evolving customer needs. Automated compliance tracking, AI-driven content recommendations, and simulation tools ensure training remains innovative and efficient [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). Platforms like CYPHER Learning enable fintech organizations to deliver dynamic training that mirrors their innovative business models [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ## Conclusion Fintech organizations face distinct training challenges caused by rapid technology changes, regulatory complexity, and literacy gaps among employees and customers. A successful training strategy must be personalized, scalable, and integrated into daily workflows. AI-powered platforms such as CYPHER Learning provide the necessary tools to address these challenges, helping fintechs build skilled workforces and informed customer bases ready for the future of finance [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning & Development Trends 2025, 2025)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ## References 1.

Hoy en día, la enseñanza también se lleva a cabo en línea, como parte integral de la educación académica o de los programas de aprendizaje continuo. En el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19, la enseñanza en línea ha experimentado un proceso de adaptación y transformación, en especial para los estudiantes de jardín de infantes a 12.º grado (K-12). La transición de la enseñanza presencial a la enseñanza en línea fue abrupta y supuso muchos desafíos: falta de dispositivos, mala o nula conexión a Internet y capacitación insuficiente. Además, existe la necesidad de interacción y equilibrio entre el hogar y la escuela, el trabajo y la vida, situación que se ve duplicada por el deseo de mantener un sentido de normalidad ante un escenario completamente nuevo. Después de establecer una cierta rutina para la enseñanza en línea, surgió un nuevo desafío: crear un entorno de aprendizaje inclusivo para que cada estudiante progrese académica y psicológicamente. Para que esto suceda, la educación en línea tiene que seguir [los estándares de diseño universal para el aprendizaje](https://udlguidelines.cast.org/) (UDL), es decir, abordar las barreras del aprendizaje y brindar múltiples métodos de participación. ## Quatro herramientas digitales para un aula virtual inclusiva Según el [Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo de lusiva y equitativa para todos los niños. La inclusión se refiere a la equidad en primer lugar y luego a la igualdad. Por lo tanto, la educación en línea tiene que estar a la altura de estos estándares y lograr que los estudiantes se sientan seguros, confiados y respetados para alcanzar su máximo potencial. La inclusión se logra con métodos de enseñanza y evaluación que generen un sentido de comunidad, brinden soluciones educativas personalizadas y ofrezcan oportunidades para participar de manera activa. Existen numerosas herramientas digitales que los profesores pueden utilizar en sus clases de habilidades mixtas mientras brindan un sentido de inclusión. 1. ### Equity Maps [Equity Maps](https://www.facebook.com/EquityMaps/) es una plataforma que permite crear un “espacio para que todos se sientan escuchados”. Es una aplicación para iPad que se puede integrar fácilmente en los debates de la clase para promover la colaboración y la participación equitativa de cada estudiante. Esta herramienta ayuda a identificar a los estudiantes tímidos para tratar de incluirlos más en las actividades de la clase. Además, es una herramienta de observación personal para que los profesores vean si monopolizan los debates en clase. Los profesores pueden realizar un seguimiento de cualquier tipo de aporte de los estudiantes en cualquier formato, generar un informe descargable en un archivo CSV, proporcionar comentarios específicos, evaluar la interacción y participación en el aula, fomentar una colaboración más amplia e incentivar el diálogo equitativo. 2. ### Explain Everything [Explain Everything](https://explaineverything.com/) es una pizarra digital perfecta para la enseñanza a distancia. Compatible con iPad, Android, Chromebooks y todos los navegadores disponibles, esta herramienta ofrece los beneficios de una pizarra y un software de animación multimedia. Admite diferentes tipos de archivos que los profesores pueden incluir en videos explicativos para llegar a los estudiantes de su nivel y ayudarlos a ser más independientes. La plataforma facilita la visualización de bocetos para captar las ideas principales de una charla o un debate. De esta manera, todos pueden observar la participación de los compañeros en determinada tarea y tener una idea general de cómo han evolucionado sus ideas a lo largo de la actividad. La plataforma ofrece un amplio espacio de colaboración y participación activa donde los estudiantes pueden explorar, crear y compartir información en un entorno inclusivo. 3. ### Empatico [Empatico](https://empatico.org/) les da la bienvenida a todos los estudiantes y les permite compartir su singularidad. Los profesores crean una cuenta, y la plataforma encuentra un socio escolar de intercambio adecuado con el que pueden colaborar. Gracias a Empatico, los estudiantes se benefician del o con otras culturas y comunidades mientras promueven la empatía en todo el mundo. La plataforma también está adaptada para brindar educación especial, ya que incluye instrucciones en lenguaje de señas, palabras de vocabulario e incluso listas de palabras para compartir a través de dispositivos de salida. De este modo, los estudiantes que no puedan comunicarse de forma verbal podrán participar plenamente en las actividades de Empatico. Empatico reúne a estudiantes de todo el mundo para encontrar similitudes y celebrar sus diferencias más allá de las paredes del aula. 4. ### Wakelet [Wakelet](https://wakelet.com/) ayuda a los profesores a reunir todos los recursos que desean compartir con sus estudiantes en un solo lugar para aportar claridad. También se puede utilizar como una herramienta para comunicarse con los padres y mantenerlos informados. Como herramienta de selección, permite a los profesores organizar y compartir contenido con sus estudiantes creando una colección y guardando diferentes materiales. Los estudiantes también pueden usar esta herramienta para investigar ciertos temas y crear portafolios digitales. De esta manera, los profesores pueden observar la evolución de los aportes de los estudiantes, incluso si trabajan en parejas o en grupos. Esta plataforma inclusiva permite a los estudiantes demostrar sus conocimientos y su creatividad en un entorno de aprendizaje seguro. También cuenta con un lector inmersivo para que cada estudiante pueda acceder al texto y otros materiales de aprendizaje a su propio ritmo con el fin de ayudarlos a alcanzar los resultados deseados. ## Conclusión La educación es más que la suma de conceptos y nociones que los aprendices retienen. Se trata de ver a cada estudiante como un individuo con necesidades específicas, pero también como parte de una comunidad de aprendices donde se sientan aceptados. Las herramientas digitales actuales ofrecen mejores soluciones para la enseñanza inclusiva y la accesibilidad para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de sus necesidades de aprendizaje, y los ayuda a alcanzar su potencial.

These guardrails are customizable by the client to restrict topics that are not related to specific job responsibilities and adjust the tone and personality of the AI. **How do you use the proprietary data stored in the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)?** CYPHER Agent does not use fine-tuned models based on customer data. All proprietary data stored in a RAG is associated with the tenant and is deleted upon contract termination. If the contract ends or a better model becomes available, CYPHER can seamlessly switch to an alternative foundational model without impacting customer data or platform functionality. **What are the licensing terms for use of your GenAI services?** Use of CYPHER Agent is governed by the existing CYPHER Learning Master Subscription Agreement (MSA). Key license terms include: - The customer retains ownership of all inputs and outputs generated through CYPHER Agent. - CYPHER does not use customer data for model training or external purposes. - Customers have full access to the GenAI features and use of the features is credit-based. **How is security and RBAC implemented for CYPHER Agent?** Security and RBAC for CYPHER Agent are enforced through the same robust framework used across the CYPHER Learning platform: - User roles and permissions determine who can access CYPHER Agent and which features they can use (e.g., admins vs. learners). - Response visibility is scoped by user context, ensuring only appropriate content is served to the right audience. - Guardrails and content boundaries prevent exposure to sensitive or inappropriate information. - Unauthorized access is prevented via platform-level controls including authentication (SSO/MFA), session management, and strict role hierarchies. AI training and testing **How can users submit feedback on the model responses?** Users can submit feedback on model responses in CYPHER Learning through: - Built-in feedback forms within courses or after completing activities (if enabled by admins) - Surveys or quizzes configured to gather user insights - Messaging or forum tools for open-ended input - Support tickets or forms for direct feedback to admins or instructors **How is user feedback incorporated into the model?** User feedback is incorporated through a continuous improvement loop: 1. Feedback collection 2. Quality review 3. Model Fine-Tuning: Feedback is used to refine prompts, update knowledge sources, and retrain models when necessary. 4. AI Crosscheck: For prompt-based models, refinements are made to improve context awareness and response relevance. 5. Release Updates: Improvements are deployed in regular updates to enhance future Agent interactions. **How do you measure and monitor accuracy, bias, performance?** CYPHER Agent’s performance, accuracy, and bias are measured and monitored through a multi-layered framework: - Accuracy and AI Crosscheck - **Bias Monitoring**: Guardrails filter inappropriate or biased content, and ongoing audits help detect patterns requiring adjustment. - **Performance**: Metrics like response time, usage volume, and token consumption are continuously logged and analyzed. - **Other metrics we monitor include**: Engagement rates (how often users interact with CYPHER Agent) Resolution rates (how often AI resolves the user query without escalation) Topic/domain alignment (to ensure relevance) Flag rates (how often users or admins report problematic content) **What is the process for testing of the model?** Testing for CYPHER Agent involves a structured, multi-phase process to ensure quality, accuracy, and safety: 1. **Pre-Deployment Testing**: - **Prompt validation**: Ensures consistent, relevant, and safe outputs across use cases. - **Scenario-based testing**: Simulates real-world queries for each user role and feature. - **Guardrail checks**: Validates content filters and ensures inappropriate or restricted topics are blocked. 2. **Controlled Rollout**: - Released in test environments or to limited user groups for real-time feedback. - Monitors response quality, user satisfaction, and interaction success. 3. **Ongoing Monitoring**: - Continuous logging and review of outputs. - User feedback collected and analyzed for improvements. 4. **Iterative Updates**: - Adjustments made to prompts, rules, or logic based on testing insights. - Guardrails are refined as needed for evolving use cases. **How are hallucinations identified, rectified and prevented?** CYPHER Agent mitigates hallucinations using our proprietary AI Crosscheck, which uses multiple LLMs to validate content that is created. This approach not only checks for hallucinations, but also checks for small factual errors and flags these for an administrator or learner. **How often is the model retrained?** CYPHER Agent does not require in-house model retraining, as it leverages foundational models maintained and updated by our AI providers. These updates are handled externally, typically on a regular cadence (e.g., quarterly or biannually), and come at no additional retraining cost to the customer. Instead of retraining, CYPHER focuses on prompt tuning, response filtering, and user feedback loops to continuously improve performance within our use case. **Does training happen inside our tenant?** No. Training does not happen inside your tenant, nor is your data shipped out for training. CYPHER Agent does not use customer data to train or fine-tune models. All interactions are processed via secure, enterprise-grade APIs, and user data is kept private, isolated, and never stored or reused for model training purposes. **Describe the technique used for training and rationale for its selection** CYPHER Agent does not perform custom training within customer environments. Instead, it leverages pre-trained foundational models that use a technique called transformer-based deep learning. These models are trained on large, diverse datasets by the provider using supervised and reinforcement learning methods. Proprietary data is handled via Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approaches that isolate client data from the LLMs. We chose this approach because it ensures: - High performance and accuracy out of the box - Reduced risk and cost, since customer data isn’t used for training - Fast deployment and iteration, using prompt tuning and guardrails rather than complex model retraining **Can the model explain its reasoning?** CYPHER Agent can generate explanations that simulate reasoning, but it does not have true awareness or cognition. When prompted, it can provide context or justification based on patterns in its training data and the structure of the prompt. This capability is useful for: - Explaining course content or answers - Describing why a recommendation was made - Offering step-by-step reasoning in structured tasks However, these explanations are generated text and should not be interpreted as verifiable logic or factual justification. Guardrails help ensure responses stay within appropriate and accurate bounds. **How can different model versions be archived and compared?** In CYPHER Agent’s architecture, model versioning is managed externally by our foundational model provider. However, within our platform context, we support prompt versioning and behavior tracking, allowing us to: - Archive different prompt configurations and response patterns tied to specific timeframes - Compare output quality, engagement, and feedback metrics across versions - Roll back or A/B test versions to evaluate performance before broader rollout Although we don’t host or train custom models in-house, this version tracking ensures we can evaluate and optimize GenAI behavior over time with transparency and control. **How is prompt injection prevented?** CYPHER Agent prevents prompt injection through a layered security approach: 1. **Input Sanitization**: User inputs are sanitized to remove or escape characters and patterns commonly used in injection attempts. 2. **Scoped Prompt Design**: Prompts are carefully constructed to isolate user input from system instructions, reducing the risk of user input overriding intended behavior. 3. **Guardrails**: Filters and validation logic detect and block suspicious or manipulative input patterns. 4. **Role-Based Context**: Prompts are contextualized based on user roles, which limits the exposure of sensitive functions to unauthorized users. 5. **Monitoring and Alerts**: Real-time monitoring flags unusual inputs or model behaviors for review and immediate action. ## Database Database structure and support **Describe infrastructure architecture and how various tenants are accommodated** CYPHER Learning uses a multi-tenant, cloud-based architecture hosted on AWS, designed for scalability, security, and isolation. Here's how it works: - **Tenant Isolation**: Each tenant (organization) operates within a logically isolated space in the shared environment. Data is segmented at the database level using unique **tenant** IDs. - **Scalability**: The platform uses autoscaling application servers, Redis for caching, and MySQL clusters with read replicas to handle demand efficiently. - **Availability**: Deployed across multiple AWS availability zones (Multi-AZ) to ensure high uptime and redundancy. - **Security**: Each tenant's data is securely partitioned, with strict access controls and encryption in transit and at rest. **How does the application support alternate site recovery?** CYPHER Learning supports alternate site recovery through robust cloud-based infrastructure and disaster recovery strategies: - **Multi-AZ Deployment**: The platform is hosted on AWS across multiple availability zones, ensuring automatic failover in the event of a regional disruption. - **Daily Backups**: Databases are backed up daily with a 7-day rolling retention and point-in-time recovery. - **Redundancy**: Key services, such as application servers, databases, and storage, are replicated and load-balanced. - **Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)**: A formal DRP is in place, to restore services swiftly in case of major outages. - **Remote Workforce**: In the event of office unavailability, staff operate from alternate, secure locations without service interruption. **What is your disaster recovery plan?** CYPHER Learning maintains a comprehensive Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) plan to ensure resilience and rapid recovery from extended service outages. The plan is led by the VP of Engineering and applies to all business-critical systems. In the event of a disaster, roles and responsibilities across leadership, engineering, and support teams are clearly defined to maintain service continuity. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are aligned with the SLAs of our vendor-hosted SaaS platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365), ensuring minimal data loss and rapid restoration. The BC/DR plan is tested at least once per year to validate preparedness and response effectiveness. Following any incident, a formal post-incident review is conducted to drive improvements and maintain compliance with evolving standards. **How are replication and redundancy implemented for Database and Application?** Replication and redundancy in the CYPHER Learning platform are implemented as follows: - **Database Layer**: MySQL clusters are deployed in Multi-AZ (Availability Zones) on AWS. Automatic replication between primary and standby instances ensures high availability. Read replicas are used to distribute load and improve performance. - **Application Layer**: Hosted on autoscaling EC2 instances across multiple availability zones. Load balancers (ELB) distribute traffic and reroute it in case of instance failure. Application components are stateless, allowing seamless failover and horizontal scaling. **Are backups full or delta?** CYPHER Learning uses full daily backups of the database, retained on a 7-day rolling window. These are supplemented by point-in-time recovery (PITR) capabilities, which rely on transaction logs (delta-based) to restore data to any moment within the backup window. **How often are the backups taken?** Backups are taken daily, with a 7-day rolling retention period. In addition to daily full snapshots, transaction logs are continuously recorded, enabling point-in-time recovery within the backup window. **How does the application/infrastructure scale?** The CYPHER Learning application and infrastructure scale through a combination of horizontal and vertical scaling strategies on AWS: - **Horizontal Scaling**: EC2 application servers auto-scale based on demand, adding or removing instances to maintain performance. - **Database Scaling**: MySQL clusters use read replicas and multi-AZ setups to handle increased load and ensure availability. - **Caching**: Redis is used to reduce load on databases and speed up data access. - **Content Delivery**: Static assets are distributed via AWS CloudFront for global performance optimization. **Is provisioning and deprovisioning automatic?** Provisioning and deprovisioning in the CYPHER Learning platform are automated and proactive: - **Automatic Provisioning**: New tenants are provisioned via a scripted, monitored process, including setup of environments, user roles, and integrations. - **Deprovisioning**: Triggered based on contract status, usage, or admin request—ensuring secure and timely data offboarding. - **Proactive Scaling**: The platform uses autoscaling and resource monitoring (via AWS CloudWatch, DataDog) to anticipate demand and adjust resources before bottlenecks occur. Monitoring is continuous, and while specific SLAs may vary by plan, CYPHER typically supports a 99.9% uptime SLA, with provisioning/deprovisioning aligned to internal response and execution benchmarks (e.g., 24–72 hours for full provisioning). **How do you separate your various customers' data from each other?** CYPHER Learning uses a multi-tenant architecture with strict logical data separation. Each customer (tenant) has a unique site ID and data partitions, enforced at the application and database levels. Role-based access controls and tenant-specific configurations ensure no cross-visibility or access between customer data sets. **Describe how you manage load balancing for different customers** CYPHER Learning uses AWS Elastic Load Balancers (ELB) to distribute traffic across application servers in multiple availability zones, ensuring smooth performance across varying customer loads.  **Load Balancing & Concurrency**: - Elastic Load Balancing automatically routes users to the healthiest, least-loaded servers. - No hard concurrency limits are imposed per tenant; the platform is designed to elastically scale based on real-time demand. - Peak loads in production environments have exceeded tens of thousands of concurrent users globally without degradation. - Redis caching and read replicas ensure backend performance even during peak concurrency. **Geographic Reach**: - The platform is hosted in AWS regions including North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with CDN support via CloudFront for global performance. - Users are routed to the nearest edge location for static content and optimized server regions for dynamic content. Overall, the infrastructure is built to handle enterprise-scale concurrency with minimal to no impact on performance. **Is there any single point of failure on the platform?** The CYPHER Learning platform is designed for high availability with redundancy across key components. While critical elements like the primary database node and application load balancer could act as single points of failure, these are mitigated through Multi-AZ MySQL clustering, read replicas, and stateless, autoscaling application servers. Authentication dependencies (e.g., SSO) and centralized storage (for example S3) are also monitored and managed with failover and recovery strategies to ensure platform resilience. **What are your potential performance bottlenecks and how are these mitigated?** CYPHER Learning mitigates potential performance bottlenecks such as database load, API spikes, and media delivery delays through optimized architecture including read replicas, Redis caching, autoscaling EC2 instances, and CloudFront CDN. The platform features proactive alerting via AWS CloudWatch, DataDog, and internal monitors to detect and respond to threshold exceptions and system anomalies before they impact users. **Are there any storage constraints?** CYPHER Learning imposes no storage limits per account. All account types have unlimited storage for course delivery materials and user data. The only constraint is on individual file upload size: students can upload files up to 200MB, while teachers and administrators can upload up to 2GB. Supported file types include standard documents, images, audio, and video formats. - **Supported file types**: Common formats such as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, MP4, MP3, and images (JPG, PNG, GIF). - **Content retention**: Files remain accessible unless manually deleted or removed by adminpolicies.

If you’re exhausted from trying outdated training methods that don't cut it for recruits and employees, it’s time to make a comprehensive change. Selecting employee training tools that offer more “bang for your buck” can greatly change and improve the quality of your employee experiences, particularly for new hires who have fewer company interactions to fall back on. Training employees is one of the most important long-term investments you can make. Adequate training ensures a workforce that’s up to date with best practices and new technologies. As a leader, there’s also a lot riding on your ability to boost team productivity, save time and money, and help employees achieve more. **In this blog, we will discuss six online employee training tools that make it easy to get your team trained and up to speed quickly.** ## Experience the CYPHER difference **[CYPHER](/) is leading a necessary cultural change in the disruption of traditional learning management systems (LMS) and online employee training software.** At CYPHER, we believe that creators and learners have a better chance at limitless learning when they’re able to take advantage of an intuitive experience and tools that build growth and connection—not just ticking a box on a training spreadsheet. Not only does CYPHER include the [most essential tools for employee training](/blog/business/top-training-and-development-tools-for-hr) and knowledge retention, but our process is completely centered on recognizing genuine human potential. CYPHER’s value is recognized by top players in the industry. Forbes Advisor ranked CYPHER Learning as the “[Best Overall Employee Training Software](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-employee-training-software/)” and the “[Best Learning Management System](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/best-learning-management-systems/).” ## Why do you need employee training in the first place? Employees rightfully expect to have a solid understanding of their workplace responsibilities. After all, having a clear grasp of employer expectations is one way to improve individual confidence levels and performance, adding to the ability to set and achieve goals. Thorough training also helps employees develop better problem-solving skills, become more creative in their job roles, and increase overall job satisfaction. Additionally, employees who receive proper training are more likely to stay with a single company for longer. Given that nearly [70% of employees who meet “high risk” criteria for job abandonment](https://www.lorman.com/blog/post/39-statistics-that-prove-the-value-of-employee-training#:~:text=Over%2070%25%20of%20high%2Dretention,companies%20with%20strong%20learning%20cultures.) resign in order to pursue training opportunities that will advance their career, adequate training up front makes a proven difference. ## 6 essential tools for positive training results Because the way people perform work is rapidly changing, the way trainers develop and educate employees also needs to adapt. Positive training results depend on having essential tools that contribute positively to team culture, rather than subtract from it. **With the six indispensable tools for employee training below, your team will be well-positioned to achieve knowledge retention, job satisfaction, and higher levels of employee engagement.** ### 1. Online Learning Management System (LMS) Learning Management Systems (LMS) are virtual platforms that enable managers and instructors to deliver online training content to employees. With an [LMS like CYPHER](/), users can create courses in 50+ languages, automate individual learning tracks, and monitor performance at every stage or milestone of the instructional process using the platform’s robust reporting capabilities. Using the right LMS platform or digital employee training tool, instructors can measure success and engagement while automating administrative functions that would otherwise require manual effort. LMS platforms also inspire a collaborative learning environment that brings everyone together for a shared journey. With the right LMS, both instructors and learners can easily [interact through class-based forums](/tour/human-connection), instructional sessions, and quick chats. ### 2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Although artificial intelligence (AI) is a newer addition to the employee training world, it’s quickly becoming an important differentiator for effective training programs. Nearly 25% of jobs will change over the next five years, according to the World Economic Forum. In this era of turbulence, upskilling and cross-skilling are more important than ever. However, [76% of HR and business leaders report](/resources/research/business/generative-ai-in-2024-a-potential-lifeline-amid-workplace-turbulence) struggling to develop training courses and materials due to resource limitations. Many people are turning to AI to help them do more with less and expand their L&D capabilities. [AI features](/cypher-copilot) can expedite course development to save time and resources. Some AI tools, like CYPHER Agent, automatically create 80% of training courses, gamification elements, read-aloud lessons, and map courses to competencies. In a CYPHER survey of customers, 83% said they can deliver courses in just a few days with CYPHER Agent, compared to months beforehand. 77% of customers said courses will cost less than $1,000 – that’s far less than the industry average of $10,000 per course. To give users more control over generative AI, CYPHER enables users to upload their own resources – PDFs, videos, etc. – and CYPHER Agent will create entire competency-mapped, gamified courses from their content. ### 3. Social learning opportunities The LinkedIn Learning Community offers the following [definition for social learning](https://www.linkedin.com/advice/1/how-do-you-include-social-learning-employee-training#:~:text=Social%20learning%20is%20the%20process,and%20increasing%20engagement%20and%20motivation.): “Social learning is the process of learning from others through observation, imitation, feedback, and collaboration. It can enhance employee training by fostering a culture of continuous learning, improving knowledge retention, and increasing engagement and motivation.” [Social experiences help all employees](/blog/business/go-from-boring-to-brilliant-with-a-modern-learning-platform-six-ways-cypher-injects-fun-into-learning#:~:text=The%20CYPHER%20platform%20promotes%20peer,knowledge%20in%20real%2Dlife%20situations.) (but especially new hires) discover and forge lasting connections with peers, leaders, and future mentors. When a new learner finds others who share similar goals and connection points, the formation of a tight-knit community naturally follows suit. CYPHER was named one of the [top social and collaborative learning platforms](https://www.cypherlearning.com/awards) by eLearning Industry in 2022. It [enhances collaboration](/tour/human-connection) through features like built-in messaging, click to chat, add users as friends, wikis, chat rooms, blogs, and more. You can collaborate at a company level or create groups for more focused messaging. [Go from boring to brilliant with CYPHER’s entertaining learning experiences](/blog/business/go-from-boring-to-brilliant-with-a-modern-learning-platform-six-ways-cypher-injects-fun-into-learning#:~:text=The%20CYPHER%20platform%20promotes%20peer,knowledge%20in%20real%2Dlife%20situations.) Learning platforms serve as dynamic online social networks by providing opportunities for easy interaction, brainstorming, and idea-swapping. Team-building and group projects are also beneficial tools in your comprehensive, high-level training strategy. ### 4. Gamification [Gamification](/tour/gamification) is the process of intertwining elements of games with learning paths to engage employees and inspire learning. The process involves the evolution of standard learning into more of an automated gaming experience by including activities like points, badges, leaderboards, and other interactive milestones. When course creators incorporate gamification, they’re able to build unique training materials that are both enjoyable and beneficial. New, gamified feedback mechanisms also inform trainers how well learners receive and digest new content from online courses. Don’t miss the primary purpose of this essential learning tool—**engagement and retention**. [CYPHER automates and gamifies the modern learning experience](/resources/white-papers/business/from-points-to-personalization-a-winning-strategy-for-gamification-and-learning) to inspire employee motivation, send custom communications, and personalize the type of assessments that each learner sees and experiences. ### 5. Mobile learning Because the world of work is more flexible than it ever has been, mobility is a crucial component of worthwhile online training tools. Mobile learning happens when employees can access training materials and development content on mobile devices including smartphones, laptops, or tablets. On-the-go knowledge transfer helps employees stay productive as they work between their office and , switch tasks, or travel. Although a flexible training program has perks, employers and L&D leaders must also address concerns in on-the-go models. Potential mobile training concerns include: - **Employee accountability** – How will managers ensure that each step is properly completed to satisfactory corporate training standards? - **Seamless login and security** – Because some training material is protected corporate intellectual property, logins must be secure and protected. Employees may require training on how and when to share training data apart from the virtual classroom. - **Flexibility and ease of use** – Mobile access can happen alongside bugs, glitches, or service interruptions. When training is required, employees should expect continuous, uninterrupted access. [Explore CYPHER’s eLearning awards for gamification and mobility!](https://elearningindustry.com/directory/elearning-software/cypher-learning) However, if you’re struggling to engage employees in training programs, it may be because they find traditional desktop learning to be too clunky, slow, and inaccessible. Mobile learning allows for a more personal and flexible experience for the learner. Try implementing mobile solutions and gauging employees’ levels of engagement, progress and satisfaction. CYPHER’s mobile app enables learners and trainers to access learning materials and communicate at any time, anywhere. The platform was even recognized as a [top hybrid learning LMS](/awards) in 2023 by eLearning Industry ### 6. Virtual and augmented reality Virtual and augmented reality provide immersive learning experiences for the modern employee. Virtual reality (VR) recreates real-world operations so that employees learn how to respond in real-time. As a result, learners gain a “case study” experience based on hands-on learning during the employee training process. Augmented Reality (AR) lets employees step into realistic, scenario-based learning exercises that test skills and knowledge in a way that saves money and resources for the company. AR closes gaps in training programs through the recreation of life-like experiences that would be expected on the job. As essential training tools, VR and AR are perhaps more helpful in occupations where “hands on” activities are more highly anticipated. Although not every career requires immersive experiences, many benefit from life-like training modules that better equip new hires. ## Develop your workforce with strategic online training platforms [CYPHER](/solutions) focuses on the most important asset of a company—employees. Without a team-centric, people-first mindset, organizations quickly lose sight of how to deliver value while prioritizing those who are actually responsible for it. That’s why it’s important to clearly identify the skills necessary for specific job roles. A strong foundation lets employers develop training programs that are in direct alignment with core business objectives and KPIs. [Skills gap training](/solutions/skills-development) also ensures that all employees perform their jobs most effectively, reaching personal milestones along the way. ### Job task analysis [Employee training](/solutions/employee-training) must never be random or “one-size-fits-all.” When organizations incorporate individual nuances and personalization into the learning process, learners are able to master skills in a way that suits them best. **As skills development becomes a priority, employees have a chance to excel individually as they contribute to broader strategic business goals.** Job task analysis is the first step in the design of influential employee training programs. This process involves the analysis of the tasks of specific roles and transparently defines the skills and knowledge required by employees to perform at peak efficiency. With CYPHER, it’s simple to [track learner progress](/business/tour/track-learner-progress) on the road to training completion. Not only are progress analytics practical, but accurate training data also helps companies mitigate issues with compliance training and broader workforce regulations. CYPHER’s value is recognized across the industry. ### Employee skills beyond technical know-how Employees need skills beyond technical talents for growth and development. Training programs must also incorporate “soft skills” such as leadership, communication, and problem-solving potential. When employee training nurtures soft skills successfully, employees then become stronger leaders and mentors, which has positive implications for the bottom line. Organizations further instill a [culture of continuous improvement](/blog/business/cultivate-an-agile-mindset) that benefits all parties and key players. ## Improve your employee training tools with CYPHER As you incorporate foundational training tools into your employee development programs, there’s a ripple effect. Enjoy an increase in the overall productivity of your business alongside the personal and professional growth of your team. Explore the training options that work best for your company and culture (including what business goals you hope to accomplish in the future), and integrate a variety of approaches to meet your employees and learners where they are. **With a**[93% overall customer satisfaction rating](https://elearningindustry.com/directory/elearning-software/cypher-learning/reviews)**, CYPHER helps you accomplish big-picture employee training goals in less time.** [Grab your free CYPHER demo today!](/-sales/schedule-a-demo) Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [Business blog](/blog/business) [L&D leaders](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/ld-leaders) --- ## Podcast: Generative AI in learning friend not foe - Brandon Hall Group **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/podcasts/generative-ai-in-learning-friend-not-foe **Last Modified:** 2025-06-12 [] Podcast CYPHER Learning Oct 12, 2023 # Generative AI in learning - friend not foe Join CYPHER Learning CEO, Graham Glass, and Brandon Hall Group™ COO and Principal HCM Analyst Rachel Cooke on [Episode 252](https://brandonhall.com/podcast/excellence-at-work-episode-252-generative-ai-in-learning-friend-not-foe/) as they discuss how generative learning is transforming in workplace learning. ## What you will learn - Generative AI is transforming how businesses create training content, allowing for rapid iteration and personalization of courses. Platforms like CYPHER Learning leverage generative AI to build customizable courses in minutes - Providing frontline workers with access to generative AI for personalized, just-in-time learning in their workflow is the future of workplace learning platforms. - Incorporating a company’s private data into generative learning content allows for hyper-personalized employee training. - People shouldn’t fear AI but rather embrace it as an amazing tool to augment human abilities.

Is it a valuable strategy you shouldn’t overlook or is it just not worth the time? Is it beneficial to the learning process or does it hinder progress? Developed in 1981by Frank Lyman, a professor at the University of Maryland, [think-pair-share](https://www.readingrockets.org/classroom/classroom-strategies/think-pair-share) (TPS) appeared as an alternative to peer instruction. With the objective to create a collaborative learning environment, TPS has gathered momentum after being repurposed for developing writing skills, also known as [write-pair-share](https://www.hameraypublishing.com/pages/write-pair-share). TPS has three steps: 1. **think:** the teacher asks students to consider a question; 2. **pair**: students turn to a partner; 3. **share:** students discuss their answers. You can apply TPS for any subject, especially in concept reviews, discussing questions, text analysis, brainstorming, quiz, review, topic development, etc. Although it fosters a [collaborative environment](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/4-ways-to-promote-collaboration-in-digital-spaces/), some teachers have noticed some shortcomings after implementing it in their classrooms. As teachers, our job is to create a safe and engaging learning environment for all students, and here is where the strategy may fall short. ## What are the gains and pains of the think-pair-share strategy? Any teaching method, strategy, or approach has benefits and drawbacks. As teachers, it’s up to us to decide if TPS is good for our classroom, if and when it works, and how we can adapt it for our students. To make this easier, I’ve compiled a list of aspects covering the pros and cons: ## The think-pair-share strategy gains Here are the GAINS (or pros) of this strategy: ### Grab students’ attention TPS is the perfect way to get students back on track and back to the task. It allows them to think new concepts, processes, opinions, or observations without interruptions or distractions. It helps students understand what they know and need, increasing engagement levels during lessons. Read more: [Teaching students how to manage digital distractions](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/teaching-students-how-to-manage-digital-distractions/) ### Accountability Students will verbalize their ideas to their peers during the pair and share stages. As a result, students take more responsibility for what they express as they take part in the learning process of their partners and the whole class. ### Increase of communication and collaboration Learning occurs better in groups through communication and collaboration. TPS creates the background for interaction which is a prerequisite of concept understanding and retention. ### Novelty In general, the most active and confident students take over most classroom discussions, but TPS allows everyone to be involved and feel included in the lesson. Students like to experience new ways of learning and manifest more curiosity and engagement as a result. ### Setting of confidence When students work with a partner, they may feel more confident to express their ideas and more open to feedback than directly sharing opinions or observations with the whole class. It provides the validation they need to speak out in front of the entire class. ## The think-pair-share strategy pains Here are the PAINS (or cons) of this strategy: ### Participation monitoring TPS is an activity that involves all students at once. In classes with more than 12 students, monitoring participation is challenging. You won’t be able to assess every student’s contribution, which is detrimental to the learning process. They can’t receive timely, accurate, and personalized feedback. It’s also a problem for teachers because they lack an objective perspective on each student’s involvement.

Just the thought of expressing their opinions can trigger anxiety attacks which will negatively impact their learning. ### Inequities Although you may change the pairs from time to time, you cannot control who shares the information with the class. There will always be students who prefer to let others take center stage. In this case, TPS doesn’t favor the shy or anxious and creates inequities among students. ### Needs unmet Since you can’t monitor every student or control who will share ideas with the entire group, you’ll have students whose needs remain unmet. They are the ones too anxious to speak up and too afraid of rejection to fully participate in the activity, which doesn’t allow them to evolve and reach the expected learning milestones. ### Small talk When students *pair* with a partner, they will inevitably waste time on small talk, irrelevant for the activity itself. In this case, you to observe them and help them refocus constantly. ## Tips to consider when using TPS with your students: To make it for your classroom, here are my top five tips: 1. Give a reasonable amount of time for students to think individually the topic; 2. Let students choose the partner to pair with; 3. Try to engage everyone in sharing their ideas with the whole class; 4. Create a learning environment based on confidence and mutual respect while disapproving any behavior that undermines others; 5. Use the strategy in moderation to avoid a pattern that will be more boring than engaging. ## In conclusion TPS is a teaching and learning strategy that promotes communication and collaboration among peers. You students will share information, observations, and opinions while learning from each other. While there are some pros and cons, the overall strategy can work for any classroom and subject. As teachers, we need to manage the activity for their benefit and offer support and feedback to encourage them to make their ideas heard.

A lifetime ago, information was hard to find on anything. People did most things instinctively, superstitiously or based on their beliefs. However, in today's age, information is everywhere. In fact, one can say that information is at our fingertips. All because of technological advancements. As such, the lives of many people have become so intertwined with technology. Therefore, a question arises whether technology has a part it can play in classrooms? Can technology improve the education process or the [learning environment of classrooms](https://www.formpl.us/blog/7-steps-to-building-a-productive-learning-environment-6258003417235456)? The answer is yes. It has therefore become imperative for teachers to be conversant with edtech tools and websites in order to be truly effective in passing down knowledge. ## Reasons why teachers should embrace the use of edtech tools and websites - In a world where people make their living via technology or technological skills, it is vital for teachers to help students to understand how technology works and how it can help with their dreams and future. - Teachers can use technology to encourage students to work together in teams. Since technology allows access to different people in different places, students can work together online without having to go to each other's houses. - Money can be saved on educational infrastructure and resources if educational technology is integrated heavily into the educational system. - While some textbooks quickly go out of date because of new information, educational technology can be easily and quickly updated, unlike these textbooks which will have to be bought all over again. ## The best free edtech tools 1. ### LiveBinders LiveBinders is a great online resource that can help students to find materials that they might need for reading, assignments and work without having to go to the library or asking their teachers for help. LiveBinders is also a great tool for teachers because it allows them to organize the materials they share based on the timeline and curriculum the classroom is following. As such, teachers can add new materials online after a topic has been covered in the classroom for students to study. 2. ### SpiderScribe Have you ever had that experience where you're trying to think of an idea for your project or assignment and you just feel like pulling your hair out? SpiderScribe is the best tool to help teachers and students brainstorm projects, assignments and papers. You can also add images which you can organize, connect or link together. If a student is having problems understanding something, SpiderScribe also helps to give ideas that they’ve written down in visual representation. Students and teachers can access one account so collaboration is also very possible for group work. 3. ### Project Gutenberg You can download textbooks, literature texts and audio books on almost every subject on Gutenberg as eBooks. With over 54,000 eBooks available for free download, students can easily find books for their assignments and projects and teachers can easily find teaching aids and eBooks that simplify topics. 4. ### RealWorldMath As the name implies, RealWorldMath brings mathematics to real life using Google Maps and [SketchUp](https://www.sketchup.com/). Teachers can create interactive activities in 3D to engage students with interactive and digital representation of math problems and mathematical application. It is a great tool for making students realize that what they're being taught is relevant to their lives. 5. ### Remind Remind is a great app that ensures that students, teachers and parents can communicate without the exchange of private information like phone numbers. With this application, teachers can send messages to parents and students alike of schedule changes, updates, reminders and important questions. And students and parents can also do the same. ## The best free educational websites 1. ### Triptico Triptico is a great educational site that offers you a number of tools and resources to manage your students and engage them. The site offers a wide range of activities in form of tools, timers, selectors and quizzes which teachers can experiment with, to give their students the best learning experience. 2. ### SMMRY With SMMRY, you can get a summary of any text gotten from an eBook or web page. The tool is easy to use and all you have to do is copy the text to be summarized and paste into the empty text box on the page and hit the summarize button. You will get your summary in the exact number of sentences you specified when submitting the text for summary. SMMRY also has a bookmark widget with which you can summarize web pages without copying their text. 3. ### ViewPure This is the best site for teachers that seek to use YouTube videos to teach their students. Why? Because when you open a YouTube video, different types of ads popup which you may not want your students to see. But by pasting the video link on ViewPure, you get a purified ad and clutter-free video with which you can teach your students. You can also use the ViewPure widget to purify videos without even going to the ViewPure site. 4. ### Google Earth Google Earth is a great site to help teachers to teach students different locations in the world. Teachers can also use Google Earth to explain difficult location-centered concepts and even historical or current global events. 5. ### Listenwise This is a tool that allows you to add audio components to your text set. This way your text set is dynamic with articles, images and audio. Listenwise has a variety of radio broadcasts on different topics which can be used to enhance learning. The link to audio recordings on the site can also be shared with students. ## Conclusion Technology is a great way to bring life to your classroom. It provides an exciting way in which you can engage your students and make them feel like they belong to something. It also prepares them for the technology they're sure to meet later on in future.

Al comienzo del año escolar, pienso que pedirles a los estudiantes que compartan sus historias, ya sea escribiendo sobre ellos o participando en algunos ejercicios de presentación, ayuda a construir relaciones en nuestro salón de clase. Paso mucho tiempo explorando nuevas ideas y reflexionando sobre las herramientas que utilizo en el salón de clases y las opciones que ofrezco a mis estudiantes para que cuenten sus historias y creen algo más significativo para ellos a partir de lo que han aprendido. Con cada proyecto completado, aprendo más sobre los propios estudiantes, y ellos aprenden más sobre los demás, lo que promueve el desarrollo de una comunidad de aprendizaje solidaria en el salón de clases. Hace años, les asignaba a todos exactamente los mismos proyectos y dejaba poco margen para que pudieran tomar sus propias decisiones sobre cómo mostrar lo que habían aprendido. No tenían muchas oportunidades para ser creativos ni para elegir algo interesante para ellos o que respondiera a sus intereses, necesidades o comodidades específicas. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, a medida que he explorado nuevos métodos y herramientas, he podido comprender mejor a mis estudiantes y ofrecerles oportunidades más auténticas de interacción con el contenido que están aprendiendo. Parte del cambio se basó en mis propias reflexiones, y otra parte se debió a que los estudiantes cambiaron los requisitos del proyecto por su cuenta, y yo disfruté viendo sus creaciones. Me di cuenta de que tenía que hacer algunos cambios en mis prácticas de enseñanza para permitir que los alumnos tomaran más decisiones por su cuenta y, gracias a ello, he notado un gran cambio en mi salón de clases. ## Cinco herramientas de narración digital para entornos de aprendizaje híbridos A medida que muchos educadores comenzamos a enseñar a distancia o en entornos híbridos, necesitamos tener varias opciones para que los estudiantes puedan crear y expresar lo que van aprendiendo. Debemos ofrecer opciones que promuevan la creatividad y la participación de los estudiantes, así como la toma de decisiones por parte de ellos. Pedir a los estudiantes que vuelvan a contar una historia que han leído o que creen una historia utilizando material del contenido que están aprendiendo promueve una mayor independencia. También les ayuda a desarrollar competencias esenciales como el pensamiento crítico y la resolución de problemas. En función de las opciones que los estudiantes tengan a su disposición, también se promueve el desarrollo de competencias tecnológicas. Para los estudiantes que quieran dibujar, utilizar imágenes, crear un podcast o hacer un video, hay muchas opciones entre las que pueden elegir. Muchas opciones también les permiten trabajar en el espacio virtual de manera colaborativa. Dadas las transiciones durante el año escolar, contar con algunas opciones disponibles para que los estudiantes colaboren con sus compañeros también les ayuda a desarrollar competencias de aprendizaje socioemocional, que son esenciales para su futuro. Algunas de las herramientas que mis estudiantes han utilizado para la narración digital son excelentes para crear videos cortos, boletines informativos, animaciones e incluso experiencias de realidad aumentada. Estas son algunas opciones que se pueden explorar: 1. ### Buncee Con una herramienta como [Buncee](https://app.edu.buncee.com/), los estudiantes y profesores tienen miles de opciones para relatar una historia o crear un tipo específico de presentación para utilizar en el salón de clases. Hay muchas plantillas disponibles para que los estudiantes elijan, o pueden empezar desde cero y añadir audio y video. Con todas las opciones en una sola plataforma, es una excelente manera de que los estudiantes se expresen y se diviertan mientras crean algo más importante para ellos. Otra idea es que los estudiantes creen su propio boletín informativo para hablar de lo que van aprendiendo, e incluso pueden incluir un video y elegir entre todas las opciones de la mediateca para añadirla a su historia. [Immersive Reader](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/learning-tools) también promueve la accesibilidad, ya que ofrece más de 100 idiomas, lo que ayuda a satisfacer las necesidades lingüísticas de los estudiantes y las familias.  Obtén más información en: [Quatro herramientas digitales para hacer del aula virtual un espacio más inclusivo](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/quatro-herramientas-digitales-para-hacer-del-aula-virtual-un-espacio-mas-inclusivo/) 2. ### Animoto Hemos utilizado [Animoto](https://animoto.com/) en todas mis clases para crear videos cortos con música y temas de fondo. En mi curso de CTIAM de octavo grado, les he pedido a mis estudiantes que hicieran videos para presentarse a sus compañeros. Otras ideas podrían ser utilizar algunas de las plantillas disponibles y hacer que los estudiantes diseñen un boletín informativo en formato de video o hagan un informe en video sobre un libro. También es divertido crear nuestros propios videos para dar la bienvenida a los estudiantes al salón de clases, hablar de nuestras clases o presentarnos y presentar nuestras clases a las familias. En Animoto, los educadores tienen disponibles [cuentas](https://animoto.com/business/education) gratuitas para el salón clases.

[Elementari](https://www.elementari.io/en/) es una gran opción para que los estudiantes creen una historia interactiva combinando las historias disponibles. Las ilustraciones están hechas por profesionales y las historias también pueden incluir animaciones y sonidos de fondo, así como otros efectos. Elementari tiene lecciones para que los profesores comiencen a trabajar con sus clases explorando el [plan de estudios](https://www.elementari.io/curriculums) disponible en su sitio web. Elementari no requiere ninguna descarga ni la instalación de ningún software para su utilización con los estudiantes. 4. ### Storybird Desde hace varios años, mis estudiantes disfrutan creando sus propios libros con [Storybird](https://storybird.com/). Hay opciones para descargar los libros en formato PDF o para imprimirlos con tapa blanda o tapa dura, lo que es ideal para añadirlos a la biblioteca del salón de clases. Desde hace muchos años, mis estudiantes escriben sus propias historias y yo hago imprimir muchos de sus libros para usarlos en mi salón de clases. Los artistas envían sus ilustraciones para usarlas en los libros, y hay miles de opciones que explorar para encontrar el fondo o el tema perfectos para tu historia. También hay libros disponibles para explorar y leer para que los estudiantes desarrollen sus habilidades y obtengan algunas ideas nuevas. 5. ### Padlet La toma de notas en forma de bocetos es un método divertido para que los estudiantes creen y cuenten una historia mediante dibujos y texto. Para los aprendices visuales, la toma de notas en forma de bocetos ha probado ser una herramienta bastante útil al momento de practicar el español y aprender sobre temas como la ciudadanía digital en mi clase de CTIAM. La toma de notas en forma de bocetos incluso ha sido una buena opción para aquellos estudiantes a los que no les gusta demasiado dibujar, porque disfrutan de la oportunidad de probar algo que es divertido y una forma diferente de mostrar lo que han aprendido. Podemos utilizar herramientas digitales para crear notas en forma de bocetos, o los estudiantes pueden dibujar a mano y luego simplemente compartir sus notas en forma de bocetos en un espacio virtual como [Padlet](https://padlet.com/). Obtén más información en: [Cinco herramientas en línea asombrosas para el aprendizaje lúdico](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/cinco-herramientas-en-linea-asombrosas-para-el-aprendizaje-ludico/) ## En conclusión Estas son solo algunas de las muchas opciones disponibles para proporcionar a los estudiantes más opciones para mostrar lo que aprenden en nuestros salones de clases. Con algunas de estas herramientas, podemos promover la colaboración y ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar habilidades esenciales de aprendizaje socioemocional (SEL, por sus siglas en inglés) en entornos de aprendizaje virtuales. El uso de estas opciones también ayuda con cualquier transición que necesitemos hacer durante el año, ya que se pueden utilizar tanto en espacios de clase físicos como en espacios de aprendizaje virtuales.

Nowadays, **upskilling and reskilling** have become vital. In order to get a positive ROI for their training programs and course development, L&D leaders need to move towards a broader role within the company and develop a strategic plan for this function. Here are a few aspects to consider: 1. ### Align training with company objectives The learning function is used as a communication channel, which makes learning specialists **company ambassadors**. One of their main roles is to plan and deploy the know-how. L&D departments also need to be ready to change gear as soon as organizations require it. 2. ### Have the right business partners Companies should be flexible to adapt processes, practices, and cultures. In turn, L&D functions need to launch capability-building programs. Therefore, the role of business partners is to take part in **senior leadership decisions** and incorporate those directives in the learning function. 3. ### Focus on employee learning Digital learning formats have changed, so L&D specialists need to create new opportunities. Whether there is a need for **short workshops** or **video tutorials**, the learning specialists should be able to provide that on request. 4. ### Measure the learning impact Accurate measurement of learning impact is a difficult task. However, if organizations start focusing on **outcome-based metrics** such as individual performance, employee engagement or team effectiveness, it becomes achievable. 5. ### Become integral to HR L&D team leaders must have an in-depth understanding of all major HR practices and collaborate closely. Some L&D departments employ consolidated development feedback as the base for their capability-building learning journeys. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

The content you provide is your ID and also your projection into the online world. However, it can be hard to constantly **create content for your online course**. Sometimes it’s better to curate it. You can **share content** created by others without losing your authentic voice. **Curated content saves you time and money** and it's already there for you to use. This type of content is great for the learners who always need more explanations, for the ones who don't really have the time to research for further information on the topic of your course, for the ones connected to social media, but also for the ones who would rather check only their emails. Whatever your approach is, here are some tips on how to do it right: 1. ### Know what your learners need As we all know there are different **types of learners** and they have **specific needs**. You have to get to know what the needs of your learners are and try to nurture them. You can conduct surveys, social media polls or you can go deeper by checking what their searches are. 2. ### Find reliable sources Finding curated content implies effort from your part. You have to be responsible and find **relevant and accurate information** which your students can rely on. You have to **check your data** and double-check. It's better to rely on official websites, authority websites and blogs, press releases and so on. 3. ### Apply relevancy filters to the curated content Not all the data you will find online related to your topic is **relevant to your learners**. The information you provide has to **help them solve a problem** or help them achieve a goal. There has to be a certain continuity to this microlearning process. You can ask them to comment on your post, watch a video and answer a question, find an example in an article and many more. 4. ### Keep everything organized If you create a habit out of providing curated content for your online course, it's better to have it organized. You can **sort your resources** by topic, categorize ideas, class similar ideas together, create an appendix for each chapter or module of your course. In this way, your learners will be able to **navigate easier** through all the extra material. 5. ### Decide on the best curation method(s) Specialists have considered different steps to follow when curating content. For example, you can use the following pattern **CSCSCS** or **triple CS** as follows: **C - Collect** information;**S - Select** the relevant information and sources;**C - Categorize** the data to show different perspectives;**S - Synthesize** the data to make it easier to digest;**C - Collate** the information in different formats;**S - Share** your information with your learners. 6. ### Consider automation Curated content makes your course **more comprehensive** as it offers extra content/materials that can be used outside the course. By making use of automation, you and your learners save time. For example, you can create a reusable template for your resources and your learners have **access to extra materials** that they don't have to look for. 7. ### Don’t stop Using curated content should not be a singular event. Make a **habit out of searching for resources** and keep feeding your learners with microlearning materials. Continuity involves stability and organization. This sends a clear message to your learners, that you are persistent and you **care their growth**. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs.

This convergence is precisely where CYPHER Learning has carved its niche, offering AI-powered solutions that enhance learning experiences across both academia and business sectors. As a leader in the realm of AI in education and training, CYPHER Learning has garnered global recognition for its innovative approach to human-centric learning experiences. Recently, on the popular podcast Tuesdays with Trailblazer, brought to you by TechEdge AI, CYPHER Learning's journey was brought to life through a fascinating conversation with its founder and CEO, Graham Glass. In this blog post, we’ll delve into some key insights from the discussion, exploring Graham's journey, his vision for the future of learning, and the role of AI in transforming educational landscapes. ## The birth of CYPHER Learning: From idea to global impact Graham Glass’s entrepreneurial journey began long before CYPHER Learning. With a background in technology and a passion for education, Graham had previously founded several companies, including The MindElectric, which focused on enterprise integration. However, his love for teaching and technology led him to create CYPHER Learning—a company designed to merge these two passions into a platform that would revolutionize the way we learn. “I wanted to do something that was at the intersection of education and technology,” Graham shared. “In the early days, I looked at the existing learning platforms and felt that none of them were very inspired. I believed we could do better, especially by integrating AI into the learning process.” Starting in his kitchen in San Francisco, Graham bootstrapped CYPHER Learning from the ground up. His first hires were from diverse locations, including South Africa, Alabama, and Romania, quickly forming a team that would take the company to new heights. Today, CYPHER Learning is used by businesses and educational institutions in over 20 countries, and it’s continuing to grow. ## AI in learning: Transforming the educational landscape One of the most significant milestones in CYPHER Learning’s journey was the emergence of ChatGPT and other AI technologies that dramatically expanded the possibilities for AI-powered learning. Within weeks of ChatGPT’s release, CYPHER Learning had formulated its AI strategy and began developing the CYPHER Agent—an AI-powered course creation system that Graham confidently describes as the best in the world. This system has transformed the process of course creation, reducing the time and cost involved by up to 80%. “The industry standard is 430 hours and $15,000 to create a typical course,” Graham explained. “With CYPHER Agent, you can build 80% of a course in five minutes for less than $10. And the results are impressive.” But Graham is quick to point out that AI is not replacing human effort entirely. “AI should do the heavy lifting, but the human element is still crucial,” he noted. “Use AI to handle the drudgery, then go in and humanize the content—add your anecdotes, your humor, your personal touch.” ## The future of L&D: What’s next? Looking ahead, Graham sees exciting developments on the horizon, particularly with the advancement of agent technology. Unlike traditional AI, which is reactive, agents are proactive, constantly working to help users achieve their goals. “An agent knows what your goals are and tries to help you achieve them,” Graham explained. “We’re putting a lot of effort into this technology, and I believe it will be the next big thing in learning and development.” For Graham, the journey with CYPHER Learning is far from over. With a focus on continuous innovation, particularly in the realm of AI, he envisions a future where learning is more personalized, efficient, and accessible than ever before. ## Watch the full conversation To hear more from Graham Glass his journey and vision for the future of learning, watch the on-demand webinar.

Imagine creating engaging courses in 50+ languages for people around the world. With effective training, you can help others understand your cause and get them to buy into your association’s or nonprofit’s mission. However, without the right technology and resources, achieving this feat is nearly impossible.Are you struggling to… Survive the “nonprofit starvation cycle” Translate and localize courses in multiple languages to suit your global members Seamlessly integrate courses from development to delivery Quickly measure the impact of your nonprofit’s lessons and track your learners’ progress, strengths, and weaknesses Create original, engaging, and individualized courses members and learners will actually want to act on ## Rethink resource allocation and efficiency with CYPHER A recent 2023 survey of 1,600 nonprofits revealed that three out of four organizations experienced job vacancies, with two-thirds citing budget constraints as the primary cause. When nonprofits can’t hire enough employees to provide essential services, the public suffers. [Read the survey](https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/files/media/documents/2023/2023-nonprofit-workforce-survey-results.pdf) This lack of human capital and financial resources in the nonprofit sector has long plagued the nonprofit sector, creating a cycle of low pay, high staff turnover, and scarcity of talented recruits. When this high turnover occurs at the C-suite level, filling those positions is even more difficult. Not only do you need to find someone who aligns with the nonprofit’s mission, they also must be trained on organizational operations. What if there were a way to simplify metrics? To track which areas of the organization most contributed to spreading the mission and allocate more resources to it. A way to understand which employees are best versed in the knowledge needed for certain roles and effectively promote from within. This problem of high turnover could be lessened if employees knew there were vast opportunities for growth and promotion within the nonprofit they believe so strongly in. CYPHER is infinitely scalable and built to grow with your organization. With robust reporting capabilities and analytics, you can track just how effective your learning efforts are in spreading your message and growing your employees. Plus, the platform supports 50+ languages so you can translate and localize your content for those in every corner of the globe. ## Award-winning platform for training CYPHER has received multiple awards for our innovative learning technology, including Forbes Advisor’s “**Best Overall Employee Training Software**” and “**Best LMS**."

CYPHER Agent can supercharge the development of nonprofit courses and content – empowering you to deliver robust new, engaging, and inspiring courses for your learners fast.  Imagine building competency-based, gamified, personalized content in just minutes! This lets you: - Create highly personalized courses - using your own uploaded content from sources of your choosing - and launch it just in time! - Control your content quality, accuracy, and credibility - Ensure subject-matter proficiency for every learner, at scale [CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) ## Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach In a [Stanford study](https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_nonprofit_starvation_cycle) of nonprofits, one organization determined that an investment in technological infrastructure yielded $350,000 per year by freeing up staff. Many nonprofits tend to skimp on investing in overhead, but this lack of investment actually ends up hurting them in the long run.With constantly degrading resources, nonprofits can easily become trapped in a negative cycle. The “nonprofit starvation cycle” is a term used to describe the idea that funders often expect nonprofits to do more and more with less and less – a nearly impossible task with traditional technology and mindsets. What if there actually was a way to do more with less? Less money, people, and time. With CYPHER, there is. The CYPHER platform unifies LMS, LXP, and content development. Our AI-powered tools and capabilities like CYPHER Agent streamlines the course creation process so you can create and maintain more courses with less time and money. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools, and systems Unified content development and delivery allows you to spend less time on course creation and more time spreading your nonprofit’s message One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t adapt to the learner progress Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure learners understand and can prove mastery of each subject before they move on Rigid, static content formats that leave learners bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive learner engagement and retention of the subject at even the deepest level of detail Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics, empowering you to track learner progress, identify gaps in their knowledge and flag opportunities for improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut course creation to minutes - allowing you to update and disseminate information fast Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific knowledge help you understand what the learner knows or doesn’t know Minimal collaboration and connection Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate discussion and group exercises to help drive learner success and mastery of a given subject ## A modern LMS to expand your nonprofit’s reach See how CYPHER can help you deliver personalized courses and content, at scale. ### Create personalized courses fast #### INTERACTIVE CLASSES With CYPHER, course creation is quick and simple.

They are an explanation of a thought process — a concept, framework, or worldview that helps us understand the relationship between things. You can also refer to it as a personal belief of how the world works. For **L&D professionals**, this theory is important since mental models act as guides both for **perception** and **behaviour**. Simply sending an email to everyone asking them to be creative or gathering a bunch of employees in a room with the same request might lead to some ideas but it takes a lot more to innovate. ### Adopting new mental models There are many methods to be employed in acquiring **new mental models** – it is important to understand that this does not mean simply learning something but **fundamentally changing the way we understand the intricate workings** of everything. **Modern technology** allows us to see and listen to people from different corners of the world, trying to see things through their eyes and draw knowledge from their experiences. ### The truth brain plasticity For a long time it was thought that the **human brain** could no longer suffer modifications after a certain age. Then research proved that [brain plasticity is real](https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/features/lifelong-learning-and-the-plastic-brain) — even in the case of adults. This is where mental models for learning come in. They ensure that **information acquirement** is meaningful. Here are 3 **examples of mental models that L&D professionals should know** : 1. ### The Feynman model One very **successful mental model for learning** was designed by **Richard Feynman**, the Nobel-winning scientist who is a frequent example for mental models. His four step method is: Identify the concept. Explain it to a toddler. Figure out the gaps and go back to the source material. Repeat until all gaps are filled. 2. ### Reframing Another good mental model to be used in **adult learning** is **reframing**. This means making the effort to regard a certain situation from a completely **ifferent point of view**. It’s effective in learning when one feels that in spite of all the information and demonstrations, the brain can’t quite seem to fully grasp the concept. 3. ### Circle of competence In **corporate learning, competence** and **skill** are very important. **The Circle of Competence** model has been attributed to Warren Buffett and Charlie Mungerand goes as follows: Understand the level of **expertise, knowledge, and skills**. Understand where the gaps are. Leave the covered areas alone and operate in those that need attention. Expand the **areas of competence**.

Whether you're an educator, corporate trainer, or learning and development (L&D) professional, it’s critical to create virtual training sessions that engage and connect with learners on a deeper level. Although the COVID-19 pandemic skyrocketed Zoom’s popularity and market value, the platform continually generates billions of dollars in revenue and [serves millions of customers](https://backlinko.com/zoom-users) daily. Corporate teams and trainers are understandably drawn to Zoom’s ability to bridge the gaps in online training, while delivering unique virtual experiences. But as collective symptoms like “Zoom fatigue” become more common, it’s time to rethink the way we conduct Zoom training sessions. To make Zoom training more effective, we'll inspire you to bring back the level of engagement that matters most for your work culture. ## How CYPHER integrates with Zoom CYPHER is a game-changing learning platform that seamlessly integrates with a variety of enterprise tools, including Zoom. CYPHER’s interactive training features equip instructors with more relevant content and help boost learner engagement across any online training session. CYPHER helps employees unlock new skills faster, making training more enjoyable and valuable. While we’ve shared [tips for live Zoom training sessions](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/business/tips-for-holding-live-training-sessions) before, we recognize the importance of continual evaluation—particularly in a remote world that faces numerous training challenges. As the expectations and needs of audiences change over time, CYPHER continually evolves to meet those demands. It’s no secret that there are concerns and risks when training a remote workforce. Let’s explore a few tips for making Zoom training more engaging. ### 1. Distinguish learning and training sessions from typical meetings Yes, Zoom is a flexible tool that works for both routine meetings and training sessions. Unfortunately, you can’t approach them the same way. To become more proficient in Zoom for [employee training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/employee-training), you’ll need to start by recognizing that learning is a cyclical process of absorbing, processing, applying, and reviewing skills-based information. (In other words, you’re delivering more learning value than simply ticking agenda items off a list). Even if you use Zoom for both sessions, distinguish learning opportunities for what they are. Bring back a few traditional classroom training protocols, adapting them in a way that gives digital learners a sense of stability and expectation. To start: - Arrive at the Zoom room early, and greet and chat with those who sign in before the official training time begins. - Play upbeat music to generate a good atmosphere, and open up the Zoom chat space for feedback and questions throughout the learning time. - Use icebreakers to kick things off, and engage all learners as much as possible. Set the foundation by answering why a particular video training is essential or required for the career journey. You might also incorporate breaks or timed pauses to give learners a chance to be more focused while the leader actively teaches. Help attendees manage their own attention and effort by knowing what to expect throughout the training session.

Be on-screen more than you are off-screen For an online training environment, your visible presence matters. That’s because visibility fosters better communication and approachability, which are both vital for online engagement and transfer of learning. Ask participants to have their cameras on throughout the session (for as long as they’re comfortable doing so). Instructors should lead by example, using a conversational, expressive, and physical approach instead of relying only on slide decks and presentation materials. Trainers must be fully present, willing to share stories and engage in casual on-topic conversations that drive the main points of training materials. By using CYPHER’s industry-leading features, including a unique Zoom integration, it’s easier to create on-screen activities and exercises that keep participants immersed in material. ### 3. Make the virtual learning process interactive One-way instruction is no longer the best way to collaborate with learners. Engaging participants requires a two-way exchange of information. Unfortunately, when learners are not involved, they lose interest quickly and fail to retain essential information for job performance. There are many ways to combine video conferencing with course engagement strategies to create a truly memorable experience. For instance, you might try the following tactics: - **Quizzes and audience polls**: Use audience polling features within Zoom or by leveraging CYPHER's interactive tools for real-time assessment. - **Topical breakout rooms**: Using smaller teams or random groups, facilitate group work and discussions to drive deeper engagement among peers. - **Role-play and realistic simulations**: Since Zoom provides a live platform, you can easily use it to create realistic simulations that apply the learning material in relevant ways. (This can be incredibly valuable when bringing individuals together who don’t normally collaborate or partner on projects). - **Interactive whiteboards**: Use digital whiteboard or brainstorming features to further collaborate with participants visually and in real-time. Even if participants aren’t in the same room, combining ideas allows for progress as a group. When relying on an interactive tip like this, consider how well the training participants know the conferencing tool. If an instructor has to spend extra time troubleshooting or helping one-on-one, engagement for everyone else might suffer. ### 4. Keep the written content to a minimum Information overload is a real barrier to effective online training. Zoom-based instructors must be mindful of this challenge when connecting with virtual learners on web conferencing platforms. “Zoom fatigue,” or the temptation to tune out after tedious meetings, is also a real issue. That’s why shorter content can generate higher learning transfer. Additionally, by introducing the right resources, instructors can empower learners to dive deeper into any learning topic that they find interesting or want to explore further. The following tips are helpful when guiding learners through learning milestones. - **“Chunk” content** – Divide the larger training session into smaller, digestible sections that hold the attention of the audience. This is especially helpful if you are working through many heavy modules at a time. - **Prioritize relevant topics** – Focus on the most critical information that your participants need to know or should remember for on-the-job success. - **Manage resources effectively**– Most learners benefit from reinforcement! Provide additional documentation, guides, and materials for self-paced learning after the live session concludes. - **Make infographics and engaging images** – Always incorporate visuals or graphics that can convey data and complex concepts clearly and memorably. If your training involves any kind of compliance or regulatory training topic that learners need to understand completely, make sure to reiterate the non-negotiable learning outcomes. ### 5. Have fun with games and entertaining elements [Gamification](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification) is a powerful way to increase motivation and learner engagement. It also sets apart the best virtual learning experiences from those that seem distant, outdated, or irrelevant. Here are a few ways to weave games and gamified elements into your Zoom training experiences: - Trivia and team scavenger hunts, including light-hearted trivia or virtual exploration activities throughout your session - Virtual escape rooms that present narrative-based challenges and mysteries into the learning material - Leaderboards, points, and badges to track progress and highlight top performers - [Periodic leveling](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification) that frequently resets to encourage continual user participation After any kind of entertainment element, provide a debrief or clear takeaway. This generates discussions that contextualize the gameplay into tangible learning objectives—bringing learners back to the reason why they’re participating and what they should remember. Debriefing moments are often unifying for the learners in a particular training, giving them a positive experience to refer back to when they need to use a learned skill in the real-world application. ## Closing thoughts Although content delivery is undoubtedly a top goal for any L&D program, ensuring that virtual sessions are enjoyable and engaging will create better knowledge retention. As you try out a few of the tips we’ve mentioned here, we hope you’ll be able to successfully transform any Zoom training session from a passive video exchange into a dynamic, rewarding learning experience. By pairing Zoom with a powerful platform like CYPHER, you’ll also equip your training team with high-impact features that instill confidence and produce better outcomes. ## Frequently asked questions (FAQs) ### What are the benefits of using Zoom in conjunction with an LMS for online training? By integrating with a modern Learning Management System (LMS), Zoom extends what you can do, measure, and see apart from your curriculum delivery process. When using both platforms at one time, instructors can better track attendance, personalize courses and content, provide immediate feedback, and ensure learners have access to content. ### What online tools help trainers ensure engagement in Zoom training sessions? CYPHER offers a range of features, like gamification elements, quizzes, and group challenges. While these elements all enhance the interactivity of Zoom-based training, they’re also a way to measure impact. Although the goal is not to spy or micromanage learners, instructors may want to visually see or gather responses from attendees to ensure they’re actively participating. ### Can Zoom integrate with Learning Management Systems (LMS)? Yes, Zoom integrates with many various LMS platforms, including CYPHER. This integration creates an easy-to-use connection between the virtual conferencing tool and the broader training environment. ### How can trainers measure the effectiveness of their Zoom training sessions? By combining Zoom’s session reports (including usage, poll responses, and other metrics) and CYPHER’s engagement analytics, trainers can assess participation levels, understand learning patterns, and fine-tune their training for future sessions. For example, polls or chat questions with high response rates can be recycled into future training sessions.

Employees are drowning in: - PDFs with titles like *Final_v7(2).* - Five versions of “the” slide deck floating in chat. - Courses that are great… if you have time to complete them. When someone’s on the job, they’re not asking for “a course on negotiation.” They’re asking: “What do I say when procurement asks for a 12-month discount?” They need a sentence, a policy snippet, a playbook excerpt. And they need it right now. Traditional search trawls everything and hopes you click the right blue link. The GenAI systems people are using, sanctioned or not, need access to all the proprietary files. And static courses, even great ones, are overkill for the moment of performance. ## Why AI? And why AI inside the LMS? AI’s job in JIT learning isn’t to be clever; it’s to be *useful*. Three things matter: 1. **Context:**Who is the learner, what is their role, and what are their goals? 2. **Precision:**What source is true for this company/team/version? 3. **Discoverability:**Can the learner zero in on what they want to know, and what they didn’t know they needed to know? Plain LLMs are brilliant pattern finishers, but they’re not your policy library. They’ll happily make up a new expense code if you let them. That’s where RAG earns its keep.  ## RAG in one paragraph (no buzzword bingo) RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is a simple idea: before the AI answers, it fetches the specific snippets from your approved knowledge (courses, help docs, SOPs, decks, FAQs, tickets) and grounds its answer in those sources. The model writes; your content decides. Think of it as guardrails plus fuel: the rail keeps the car on the road; the fuel makes it go fast. ## What changes when you add RAG to a platform like CYPHER Let’s make this real. With RAG wired into your learning ecosystem: - **Micro-answers from macro-content**That 90-page policy guide? RAG pulls the three bullets that matter for this task and links back to the source for depth. You can still do an annual policy course based on the guide for compliance purposes, but when your people need to know what to do right now? They can jump right to it, not sit through it. Again. - **From search to solutions**Instead of a list of files, learners get:*“To file a non-standard discount, do A → B → C. Here’s the approval form. Here’s the policy clause.”*That’s the difference between knowing and doing. - **Personalization without stalking**The answer can reflect role, region, product line, and seniority—because the retriever filters by those dimensions before it generates. - **Security with barriers**The same security roles that allow you to restrict confidential training to learners also governs which documents are used to source answers. One agent safely serves all users. - **Confidence with citations**Every response points to the paragraph, timestamp, or slide it came from. Learners can peek under the hood and trust the guidance. - **Living content**Update the policy once; the next answer honors it. You stop playing “catch the outdated slide” across ten wikis. ## CYPHER Agent & RAG in action [Lina gets instant guidance on policy](https://app.storylane.io/share/efds0raevid6) ## Anatomy of a solid RAG stack for learning 1. **A clean, governed pool of knowledge**Courses, SOPs, help articles, release notes, support macros, and tribal knowledge—tagged by audience, product, region, and lifecycle stage. 2. **Chunking that respects meaning**Split content into semantically coherent “thoughts”, not random 500-token slices. Good chunks = good answers. 3. **A presentation layer tuned for action**The information “chunks” are formatted for skim-readers, arranged in logical groups, and designed to zero in on what’s needed. 4. **A retriever that knows your business**A search that knows your role, your region, and your business, and recency bias for time-sensitive docs like pricing and legal. 5. **Guardrails and governance** - **Secured documents:**the same controls that govern the catalog, govern the docs so if you can’t view the doc it won’t be a part of your answer. - **Reference enforcement:**answers must include sources so learners can be confident in the knowledge, and know where to look for more info. - **R****ed-flag filters:** restrict topics to keep learning on track. ## Where this shows up in CYPHER-style workflows - Inside a courseA new hire hits a stubborn concept, asks a question, gets a grounded chunk of learning—without leaving the flow. Use case demo - Onboarding - New hire at analytics company - Outside a courseAn employee wants to grow in their role but is missing a key skill–negotiation.

Three practical guardrails: 1. **Crosscheck.** Answers are always run through a second premium AI to double-check for accuracy. Any discrepancies are flagged for the learner. 2. **Cite aggressively.**Every source gets a pointer to the doc and paragraph. 3. **Test the top tasks**. Don’t measure accuracy in a vacuum; measure whether your 20 most common workflows produce correct, consistent answers. ## The mindset shift The most powerful change isn’t technical—it’s cultural. We stop equating “learning” with “courses” and start measuring it as outcomes. Courses remain essential for depth and transformation. But at the moment of need, getting right to what is needed beats a brilliant 45-minute module. Just-in-time learning wasn’t waiting for more content. It was waiting for the connective tissue: AI with retrieval. With RAG in the loop, your best knowledge shows up at the exact moment it can do the most good—on the call, in the ticket, at the machine, or with a looming deadline. If you’re ready to try this, start small with the pieces people ask most and let the results pull you forward. The rest—depth, courses, mastery—will follow naturally once people can do the next right thing *right now*.

This is how personalized learning became the key to every new approach to learning and teaching. Personalized learning is created for all students regardless of their academic level or age, helping them reach their potential, awakening their inner motivation and personal drive, developing all the necessary skills they need to master problem solving and to take learning into their own hands. Personalized learning gives students responsibility for their learning process, urging them to take ownership of and control over their education, offering flexibility and self-paced acquisition of academic content in the process. Check out the key elements of personalized learning: ## 5 Key elements of personalized learning A survey by the [Alliance for Excellent Education concluded that](https://all4ed.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Personalized-Learning-Infographic.pdf) 79% of parents and 73% of teachers don't agree with the one-size-fits-all approach to education schools still have nowadays. Due to clear evidence of math and reading test scores improvement in schools that have shifted their approach to personalized learning, 71% of parents and 77% of teachers would be comfortable with the change. There are some examples of schools following the personalized approach in the US, but they had to tailor it to fit their circumstances. Here are some approaches: - **Competency-based approach** in which students progress at their own pace mastering key concepts as opposed to strictly learning in class. - **Interdisciplinary student-directed approach** through projects with the purpose of developing critical thinking and collaboration. - A **mix of the two approaches** mentioned above based on rigorous academic content and work-based learning. - A **student-centered approach** using personalized data to identify gaps in knowledge for a more autonomous learning. The common ground for all approaches to personalized learning is the teacher-student relationship based on trust which helps students progress at their own pace by reflecting on their strengths and weaknesses and the flexibility and real life applicability of the learning process. There are 5 key elements of personalized learning, each of great importance individually, but greater yet as part of the whole approach. 1. ### Student agency Ownership, agency or control are the words used to refer to students taking responsibility over their own learning. In doing so, students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses and are able to advance grade levels on mastered skills, but also reinforce the skills they lack. Student agency means they are in control of and active participants in their own learning process, which is why knowledge is acquired better — according to theorists such as [Piaget](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Piaget) and [Dewey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey). Teachers only facilitate the content acquisition while students internalize it and own it too. Providing spaces for students to express themselves, like blogging, safe LMS online communities or using technology tools they are so familiar with to create their own content, photo and video journals and give and receive feedback to and from peers leads to greater achievement levels, greater class participation, better preparation, self-awareness and decreases in behavioral problems. 2. ### Flexible learning environments Unfortunately, instruction is still delivered in traditional learning environments, with rows of desks and students typically faced forward, which is known to hinder the learning process. In [flexible learning environments](https://www.boredteachers.com/trending/flexible-learning-spaces-future-of-education) though, students have more control over how they learn due to non-conventional flexible seating that speak to students needs, while having the teacher more as a facilitator than an instructor. Classic desks and chairs are replaced with different [pieces of furniture](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/smart-classroom-furniture-for-21st-century-students/) that can be purchased from [established vendors](https://www.steelcase.com/discover/information/education/) or bought from flea markets or received as donations. Designing such a space with places for solitary work, collaborative work and for debates and mini lessons gives students confidence and it leads to improved academic results, better peer interaction and less bored students. 3. ### Individual mastery At the center of personalized learning is the learner and his or her needs. In a time when students need to be able to juggle family and work life with their education, schools and platforms focused on individual mastery rather than teaching for test scores are needed more and more. With independent modules designed as part of a larger learning goal, students can focus on mastering skills, regardless of the time, place or pace of learning being allowed to tap into their potential. For this, teachers have to offer individualized support and guidance and students need self-motivation, grit, perseverance and agency. The concept of [individual mastery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastery_learning) helps construct a strong foundation for education elevating its levels naturally and in which the only variable is how much time students need to master a skill. 4. ### Personal learning paths Personalized learning involves adjusting instruction to students' learning pace with the goal of tracking long-term learning. Doing so is no longer an issue thanks to learning management systems which help educators create classes, assess students and add individualized learning paths. An LMS provides the necessary tools for teachers to meet students needs by personalizing goals within paths and creating a flexible virtual learning environment. LMSs also give students agency over their learning and allows them to become proactive by having access to self-assessment tools, such as quizzes and surveys with instant feedback, but also a space to express themselves and keep track of their progress. [Personalized paths](https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/partnering-with-childs-school/instructional-strategies/personalized-learning-what-you-need-to-know) adapt to multiple learning styles and focus on how students experience learning offering customizable modules to respond to individual learning needs. Read more: [The role of the LMS in designing personalized learning paths for students](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/the-role-of-the-lms-in-designing-personalized-learning-paths-for-students/) 5. ### Learner profiles Getting to know all your students and being able to adjust instruction to students' needs have become easier thanks to LMS learning profiles which provide data on learning evolution. Having individual [learner profiles](https://www.gettingsmart.com/2015/10/5-ways-learner-profiles-can-promote-competency-based-education/) give powerful insights on progress, to teachers and students alike. By analyzing students' progress teachers can create personalized content, assign individual goals and give customizable feedback while students are able to build on their strengths, overcome their weaknesses and follow their own goals and interests. LMSs also allows students to join same interest groups and enhance their knowledge. They even allow teachers to give team assignments based on students' common interests or can assign tasks to which they can ask for peer reviews. This gives learners a clearer picture over their progress and encourages ownership. ## Conclusion Personalized learning allows for a teacher-student partnership in which students have a role in decision making. Teachers and students co-design the curriculum and assessment. Teachers provide a menu of options while students identify ways of learning suitable for their needs. Teachers help design learning strategies to meet students’ needs and students choose topics according to their interests and ways of showing their knowledge. Personalized learning revolves around the students, allowing them to organize their learning following their own time, place and pace. Students build a growth mindset taking agency over their education with perseverance and grit. By offering equal opportunities for learner development, this type of approach leads to a society in continuous progress that values equity which should be the definition of success.

Benefits explained **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/what-is-a-learning-experience-platform **Last Modified:** 2025-06-23 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [Business LMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/business-lms) # What is a learning experience platform - and why CYPHER does it better June 23, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 5 minutes read Modern learners want more than static, one-size-fits-all training. They expect and crave interactive, personalized experiences that match their needs and learning styles. This shift is powered by advances in learning technology, which have paved the way for more dynamic and immersive training. So it’s no surprise when a learning experience platform (LXP) fits the bill for meeting these changing expectations. While most platforms make you choose between a traditional LMS and a more flexible LXP, [CYPHER brings both together](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lms). It combines the structure of an LMS with the personalization of an [LXP](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lxp) to deliver a more well-rounded and engaging way to learn. In this post, we’ll explore how CYPHER redefines the learning experience with an AI-powered platform that replaces them all. ## What is a learning experience platform? A learning experience platform is a learner-centric tool designed to create personalized and engaging educational journeys.  Unlike traditional LMS platforms, LXPs prioritize the user experience completely. Learners can discover, interact with, and control their own learning path. LXPs also empower users to create content and share it with peers to create a more collaborative learning environment. ### Features of LXPs: - **Personalized learning:**Tailored content recommendations based on the learner’s interests, role, and competencies. - **Curated, discoverable content:**Access to a wide selection of learning resources, both internal and external. - **Collaborative content creation tools:**Streamline the development and curation of training materials with collaborative authoring features and integrations with external content providers. - **Social and collaborative learning:** Build connections and foster peer-to-peer collaboration through communities, forums, and group activities. - **AI-driven recommendations:**Machine learning algorithms suggest content that aligns with the user’s learning needs. - **Integration with additional content libraries:** Expand learning opportunities with access to external resources like LinkedIn Learning, YouTube, and other content providers. An LXP thrives on delivering experiential, engaging, and meaningful learning. But what if you didn’t have to choose between the two? ## LMS vs LXP: What is the difference and why it matters At a glance, learning management systems and learning experience platforms might seem similar. But they serve different purposes. ➡️ An LMS is built for structure. It helps organizations manage courses, track compliance, and monitor progress, making it ideal for regulated training environments. ➡️ An LXP, on the other hand, puts the learner in the driver’s seat. It delivers personalized, interactive learning paths based on interests, goals, and real-time performance. Think of it as a modern, user-friendly hub for continuous growth. Choosing the right platform depends on your goals: compliance and admin control, or flexible engagement and development? Ideally, you shouldn’t have to choose—and with a platform like CYPHER, you don’t. Here’s a quick breakdown: ### LMS - Designed for structured, admin-led training. - Ideal for compliance and certifications. - Tracks learner progress and completion. - Focused on centralized content control. ### LXP - Built around learner-driven discovery. - Supports personalization and AI-powered recommendations. - Encourages continuous, social, and self-paced learning. - Delivers a modern, intuitive experience.

CYPHER bridges the gap, offering the administrative power of an LMS while layering in the personalization and modern UI of an LXP.  Whether you’re a corporate trainer, school administrator, or corporate learning provider, the hybrid model you’ll find with CYPHER delivers ultimate speed, flexibility, and efficiency without compromise.  ## The rise of learner-centric training In the current learning economy, traditional top-down methods often fall flat. Delivering one-size-fits-all content that lacks relevance or impact? No thanks. Learner-centric training sails to the top with personalized, flexible learning paths that match each individual’s goals and learning style. What’s driving the shift? A few major trends: ### Remote and hybrid learning With remote work here to stay, learners need platforms that are accessible anytime, anywhere—without losing the collaboration and engagement of in-person environments. ### Upskilling and reskilling Industries are changing fast. Organizations must keep employees ahead of the learning and development curve with training that evolves alongside job roles and business needs. EXPLORE: [4 reasons to consider upskilling employees](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/4-reasons-to-focus-on-upskilling-employees-this-year) ### Employee retention and engagement When training feels relevant, employees stay engaged. Personalized learning paths boost satisfaction and contribute to long-term retention. ### AI and automation AI-powered tools (including generative AI and smart content recommendations) make learning dynamic and responsive in ways that it hasn’t been before. LXPs use this tech to deliver content that adapts in real time to a learner’s progress, goals, and preferences. ⭐ A true LXP supports all of these needs. It doesn’t just deliver training—it empowers people to grow, contribute, and thrive. ## The learning journey: Onboarding to mastery A truly effective learning experience doesn’t end after onboarding—it’s a continuous journey that supports learners from their first day through to mastery of new skills. A robust LXP guides employees through every stage of their development, providing access to a rich library of online courses, interactive content, and collaborative learning opportunities. With an LXP, learners have the chance to move from foundational knowledge to advanced expertise, all within a single, engaging platform. The experience platform supports this journey by offering relevant learning content, enabling collaborative learning with peers, and providing motivation or [gamification](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification) along the way. Performance [management tools and analytics](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/reporting-and-analytics) also help organizations spot skill gaps, track progress, and align learning with strategic goals. This data-driven approach ensures that every learner receives the support they need to succeed, while organizations can measure the tangible ROI of their training programs continuously. ## Real benefits of using an LXP Organizations investing in an LXP unlock significant benefits that impact engagement, retention, and overall learning outcomes. Here’s how: - **Improved knowledge retention:**Personalized content delivery ensures that learners are more likely to understand and retain information. - **Custom learning pathways:** LXPs align training with individual and organizational goals, delivering hyper-relevant lessons. - Enhanced content discovery: Self-directed learners can easily find materials to suit their needs for continuous improvement. (Plus, an agent like [CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-learners) puts instant answers into the hands of motivated learners.) - Support for [social learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/human-connection): Interactive features promote collaboration and communication between learners. With CYPHER, these benefits come built-in, accompanied by robust features like automation, AI recommendations, and modern gamification tools to supercharge the learning experience. ## Global reach and accessibility: Learning without boundaries Today’s teams are spread across time zones and continents. Learning must be just as flexible. An LXP with global reach makes it easy for every employee–regardless of location–to access content, connect with peers, and sharpen their workforce skills. With mobile access and cloud-based learning, users can train on the device and schedule that works best for them—at , in the office, or on the move. This flexibility supports different learning preferences and ensures equal access to development opportunities. By delivering a consistent, engaging experience across regions and cultures, organizations can build a learning culture that scales—supporting individual growth and global business goals. ## How CYPHER stands out As an industry-leading, award-winning platform, CYPHER is more than what you’ve come to expect of basic LMS or LXP options. It’s a game-changer for organizations seeking balance and AI-powered innovation. Here’s what makes it stand out: - **Unified LMS and LXP features:**Get seamless learning, reporting, automation, gamification, and competency mapping. - **Scalability with simplicity:**Say goodbye to silos and system fatigue.

Straightforward answers empower you to forge the most informed choices for your organization. We are committed to offering you authoritative insights and impartial analysis. Graham Glass, CEO and Founder of CYPHER Learning, provides his candid responses to AI questions. ### How can AI help with the upskilling of employees? Check out Graham’s latest answer to this question. Watch the video or read the transcript [Watch video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AKezAES3qw) Data privacy and security **How do I protect my data if I'm sharing it with an AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How do I protect my data if I'm sharing it with an AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/LemoNYfsJMI?si=uF2ZpbQvVW6m4aZ0) The answer really depends on how you are sharing that data. So for example, OpenAI is very upfront that if you're using the free version of ChatGPT and you're copying and pasting your data into its buffer, so to speak, then they are going to train OpenAI using that data. So**you don't want to share important proprietary data with a free version of ChatGPT**. That being said, they're also upfront that if you're using the **enterprise version of ChatGPT** or if you are**sharing data via their APIs, it is not used for training, it's not stored anywhere**, it's just transient and will be destroyed. At CYPHER Learning, we interface with AIs through these APIs and we only do that when the vendor and the owner of the API says this data is completely private. So if you're using a **system like the CYPHER platform**, which is using the APIs, **you do not have to have any concern your private data being shared with anyone**. **Should I be concerned issues when using an AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Should I be concerned issues when using an AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vl997cgoLi4?si=4Oa_7JTCP4-gCShh) 99% of the time, no, but 1% of the time, maybe. A little bit of a review on how AIs actually work. **AIs do not copy and paste all the content in the internet into their digital brain and then regurgitate it**. What they do is review huge amounts of content, extract the essence of that content, then codify it in terms of numbers. So the AI almost certainly could never actually come up with exactly what it's read in the first place because that's not how it stores information. And much like a human being, it generates fresh information from everything that it's seen. And anyone who has used something like ChatGPT knows that **every time you ask it a question, it gives you a slightly different answer**. And that is one example of how it is not copying and pasting. One of the things that OpenAI and Microsoft has done, is they've announced something called "** Shield**", which underscores their confidence and commitment to protecting the output of AI against any kind of issues. So if you're using one of their products and someone comes after you and says, you violated a , then Microsoft or OpenAI will actually come to your legal defense, which is a really great move. So generally, you can use the output in confidence, knowing that it's not copying and pasting from any particular source. And that covers 99% of the cases. The **1% of the cases**, that I think is worth acknowledging, is that there are **some content creators, especially artists**, that have spent years crafting a very, very specific,**very unique identity**. Picasso is an obvious example from the past, but there are current people doing this. And if an image generation AI learned all Picasso and then started generating 100,000 Picassos using his specific, crafted, identity, then that almost certainly **would be a case for a violation**. So there are very, very few vertical cases where you do need to be careful, but in 99% of them minimum, you don't have to worry at all. **Are there security concerns when it comes to agents?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Are there security concerns when it comes to agents?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/CfuU10B9eKQ?si=Ni1POcS3m3r5MafK) Sometimes, if you give it a high degree of autonomy. If you have an agent in the box, you give it limited access to various proprietary data, you don't give it access to your wallet, then what is the risk? There's really not much risk. It's just like regular AI. But if you say "I'm going to give you my credit card number, my security code, my driver's license number" and give it all that information and let it loose, then yeah there's obviously security concerns - one of which is it might empty my bank account. So we are obviously focused on the style of agent where you don't give it a lot of personal information and it cannot do irreversible things on your behalf. **How can businesses ensure an ethical use of AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How can businesses ensure an ethical use of AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/XQ2nMrxXkKA?si=brN0zLzBqZyaQ-Hg) By ethical what we really mean in not using it for destructive, nefarious purposes. Now, the most obvious approach to this is by using guardrails, which does assume that you have some central place where you can apply guardrails across all your enterprise use of AI. So for example, in an upcoming learner agent, an administrator can go in and put a guardrail which doesn’t allow people to want to learn anything that's not directly related to their job title. That's a simple one. Or in the case of K-20 you don't want them learning building bombs and guns and stuff. So obviously, you would put a guardrail in for that. So I would say obviously, you can have standards within your company. You can have HR training how to use AI ethically. But from a pure technical perspective, having a product that allows you to put in guardrails, I think is a must-have. **What happens when deep fakes get better and can be used in the learning industry?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What happens when deep fakes get better and can be used in the learning industry?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/bJLsyFeEDVQ?si=z4-1rDlF_gGPW_6-) I think there's a few things that. Obviously, if you're building courses, you would like a human in the loop. So a human expert can make sure that these things are not obviously fake. The second thing, which is something that we've implemented, is an AI Crosscheck technology. And what that does is, in addition to a human, it will use another different AI to scrub your content. So if it's a video, listening to the video, making sure that the video is not talking obvious falsehoods. So those are two things that you can do, but it's certainly a concern, especially outside the area of learning because humans do need to be able to rely on factual truth in order to make good decisions. AI implementation **Should I be hesitant using AI in my business?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Should I be hesitant using AI in my business?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/kL6uMxtvDP0?si=HCfz748aOI53qwmj) I think there are **some areas** of your business that could immediately take advantage of AI and it's **not introducing any existential risk** to your business. And there are **other areas**, especially one subject to high degrees of government regulation, where **you might need to be careful**. But the other thing is you have to remember, your competitors might not hesitate in certain key areas and the longer that you take to apply AI, the more and more of a disadvantage you're going to have. For example **with e-learning, if you are building courses 100 times faster than and at a 10th of the cost of your competitors, is that going to give you a strategic advantage**? If you are a training organization or an IT organization, the answer is almost certainly, yes, you would be at a disadvantage. **NEW How does CYPHER Learning use our own platform in order to just be a better organization?** Watch the video or read the answer: [NEW How does CYPHER Learning use our own platform in order to just be a better organization?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ovIEEapZdR0?si=9dIa_W5Y8ERLHWBj) The first use of our platform was for onboarding. We bring in a lot of new employees in various different areas of the company, and we wanted to make sure that everyone knew the history of the company, what the product did, and how worldwide we are. All the various aspects of our company. The first thing we did was build an onboarding course. That particular course was not built using our AI [because it pre-dates that. We built a beautiful onboarding course and we made use of a lot of rich features of our platform, including automation. For example, there's a place where you take a quiz and, depending on how you're doing in the quiz, you get certain points and badges and you can keep on retaking that until you get maximum points. Later on, we use a discussion board assessment where it asks you to please tell us something you and upload a picture of where you're from. One of the things I loved that particular feature is that everyone who's in the course or has completed the course automatically gets a notification from the new people. So I can be sitting behind my desk and a new person joins the company and I get to learn all that new person. The onboarding course was the first thing that we built using automation and gamification, and that worked out great. You can even create a little scavenger hunt, which says that in order to get the points and badges for this area, go to a particular place in our system, and once you come back, click completed, and that's part of the scavenger hunt. So that way the course introduces people to all the different features of our platform. Now the second usage was to allow various different divisions to create their own courses. We have the sales department and the marketing department using CYPHER Agent's AI course creation tool in order to build courses for them. For example, we have a sales enablement person, an expert in sales, who can generate a course in 10 minutes and then customizes it for sales enablement. The next use of our platform was the HR division, who was using third party content. We integrate with 6 different catalog providers – Go1, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, edX, OpenSesame. We licensed some third party courses and rolled them out for our compliance training. And the last thing I want to mention is that our DevOps department wanted to create an AI powered course for security and phishing and we wanted it to be very, very specific to CYPHER Learning. So the head of DevOps created a course in 10 minutes which provided the scaffolding for an entire course on security. Then that person went in and customized it with screenshots and various things that are specific to CYPHER Learning and then rolled it out to the company. So there's an example where we're democratizing the ability to create courses. It's not all bottlenecked in L&D. This allows subject matter experts to create a course based on their experience really, really quickly. We absolutely love using our own platform for learning, and I think you guys will benefit in exactly the same way that we do. **How does ChatGPT compare to similar offerings?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How does ChatGPT compare to similar offerings?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/oe0hoqafJ84?si=o_FwqGZK5mDNbbfo) Now, I have to admit I'm slightly biased because I do use Chat GPT Enterprise for at least one hour a day, which is quite a lot. One of the things that I really like in ChatGPT recently is a **brand new feature that learns you and updates its memory of you and then ensures that that updated memory is taken into account in every interaction**. So for example, if I tell ChatGPT, “Hey, can you keep it a bit more concise?” you'll actually see it go updating my memory and now the interactions are more concise. Similarly, if I said I like astronomy, maybe it'll find that relevant and then tell the AI every time I interact with it, “By the way, Graham likes astronomy”. So I think that's a pretty cool feature. I haven't seen that in any other AI so far. I also get the impression that ChatGPT right now is probably either the most superior or the top one or two in terms of accuracy and the enjoyment of interaction with it. It certainly gets a lot right when I'm talking with it and **there is a new ChatGPT 5.0 coming out in the not-too-distant future. So that will raise the bar again**. I think it also has extremely good integration with tools. So if you want to do some financial analysis, you can automatically upload a spreadsheet, and it'll automatically generate a new spreadsheet for you. I think that's another area that it really excels. I'm a fan but, you know, the world is changing quickly, maybe in six month’s time, I'll have a different favorite. **What are the limitations of ChatGPT?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What are the limitations of ChatGPT?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/1kWBl1h55P4?si=scPXyvh4uqbFMARc) I think there are actually quite a few in different buckets. The first one I'll say is that **it's not real-time**, and what I mean by that is it doesn't have access to what happened five minutes ago or half an hour ago, or even a week ago. And I'm sure that's coming. So the way it works right now is they do a big training push where it looks at huge amounts of data at a certain snapshot in time. And then that is what the new version of their model starts with. But it's not incrementally daily updated, but I almost guarantee it will be. So it'll be one where pretty soon it'll know up to the last week, and then it'll be the last day, and at a certain point, it'll be up to the last second. So that's one limitation. **Another limitation is to do with its depth of reasoning.**Now, I use ChatGPT all the time and I have to say, I think that its reasoning is better than most humans. I don't view humans as the ultimate reasoning machines. So it's really, really good, but there are some times where it's not as good as a human, especially when you give it really complicated logic problems. But that is being addressed quite quickly. So ChatGPT 5.0, the emphasis is going to be raising the bar on its reasoning abilities. My working assumption is that ChatGPT 5.0 is then going to be better than 98% of humans. And in ChatGPT 6.0, it'll be 99% of humans. There's always going to be humans that are better than ChatGPT as something for the foreseeable future. But I don't think lack of reasoning skills is going to be anything more than just a short-term weakness. I think another weakness is**the way that it handles proprietary data**. So right now ChatGPT, it's trained on a huge corpus of public information. But if you've got a whole bunch of private data, there's no way right now at any inexpensive way to say, “By the way, for the purposes of our interaction, here are five gigabytes of additional information and I want you to index this to the same level of depth as you index everything else”. So ChatGPT 4.0 does have the ability to remember files you can upload. It has the ability to index them much like a vector database, but it doesn't ingest them to the level of depth of public knowledge. But I think that will be a breakthrough when you can give it a whole bunch of your information and its brain gets bigger and different when it's talking to you versus somebody else. So those are the main three limitations that I can see right now. **Can a managed AI do a better job than open ChatGPT?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Can a managed AI do a better job than open ChatGPT?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/uii-IzqmoyU?si=rb1pZi9vYm6y46jj) The answer is definitely yes. The reason being: let's just take the example of building a sophisticated modern course. Now in a managed AI, you basically just fill in the blanks of what you need in the course, including nudges and certain special things that you need. And it will turn around and actually use, under the hood, the same technology as open ChatGPT, but it does it super fast. Every single prompt is very carefully engineered and, not only that, but it actually builds the course in our platform in minutes. If you were to do the same thing in ChatGPT, that same exact task could take you hours because you would have to carefully get the prompts, carefully scrub all the answers, and then manually copy and paste every single thing into our platform. So the answer is unequivocally yes. **What AI services does CYPHER Learning use?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What AI services does CYPHER Learning use?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/_ZXE5ZGmrZs?si=8Ye1rz9vbat-rU-p) We currently use 5 different AIs and over the next month or so, that's **probably going to grow to 7 or 8 AIs**. The general idea is that **we pick AIs based on what they're best at, how fast they are, and how much they cost**. So we use one AI, for example, for image synthesis, another AI for voiceover, another AI for video transcription, another AI for content generation. But the nice thing our system is that **none of this complexity surfaces to the user**. You just click the checkbox, I want to synthesize images. And by hiding this from the user that gives us the flexibility to replace these AIs at any point when something better becomes available. So obviously, we commit to our end customers that all their **private data is completely private**. So we're not going to share it with anyone. We strive very hard to make our systems work very fast and reliably. But aside from that, there's really no need for anyone to know what AIs we're using behind the scenes. **How is CYPHER Learning's approach to building courses using AI different from our competitors?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How is CYPHER Learning's approach to building courses using AI different from our competitors?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mf0cCFUq8pQ?si=t0GsddQfhOF3c9vO) Our belief is that you should be able to create state of the art, engaging, full-featured courses in minutes using an AI and you should not have to know anything whatsoever AI in order to do that. So for example, in our system, using CYPHER Agent (formerly CYPHER Copilot), you just say build me a course and you can specify exactly what you want using simple checkboxes and drop down menus i.e. - I want a professional tone of voice - I want to have an automatic voiceover - I want it to generate images synthetically - I want automated questions - I want group projects - I want rubrics - I want a study guide - I want a glossary - I want gamification - I want competency-based learning Then just click that button and a few minutes later, it will do absolutely everything and not only can it do that, but you can drag and drop a PDF in, or a video in, or a Microsoft document, and it will generate all of those courses inspired by the materials in that private information. None of our competitors do this at all.  They might be able to generate a question bank, they might be able to generate a small course outline, they might have a little tool that you can invoke ChatGPT from your learning platform, but you still have a huge amount of work to do to get to the point that you have a decent course. But we've figured out a way to capture that AI, make it super easy, super efficient. No compromise. **What are AI prompts and is there any value-add for using a system that doesn't require AI prompts?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What are AI prompts and is there any value-add for using a system that doesn't require AI prompts?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/qsXBaMzggR4?si=1DBHP1Y1HzTzWQAo) **An AI prompt is basically just something that you say to an AI** and depending on how you ask the question, you might get a different kind of response. Within our engineering team, we've got a lot of expertise now in how to ask the question in exactly the right way to get the best response back. **You don't have to know anything AI prompts when you're using the CYPHER platform because we package the AIs**, we hide all the nasty details from you. All you need to do is to check a few boxes, select a few menu options, and say Go. Another question is, **why can't I just do exactly what you're doing using AI prompts**? And the answer is you actually could as long as you don't mind working 100 times slower than what the CYPHER Learning platform can do for you. So to give you an idea, when you build a course on our platform, **we trigger a minimum of 200 prompts**, many of which are operating in parallel at superhuman speed. Then we take the results for all of those prompts and through a tight integration, **we will generate the modules, the pages, the assessments, the quizzes, and the glossaries at superhuman speed**. If you were trying to do this with ChatGPT, what we do in 10 minutes would probably take you around 10 to 20 hours and every single time you want to repeat it, you'd have to spend another 10 to 20 hours doing that. So, yes, you could do it. But I don't think it's a good use of your time. **How does CYPHER navigate changing global AI policies?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How does CYPHER navigate changing global AI policies?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/A28Z3Y1armc?si=TTXkNl2mENIzoLyc) Generally speaking, what we do is we try and **make AI extremely accessible to anyone**in the educational industry. It's **packaged** up, it has **guard rails**, and you can't really do anything crazy with it. So we've made it as safe as we possibly can. We can't force anyone to use AI against their wishes. But anyone who does want to use AI will find that it's very, **very global policy friendly**. **How will AI affect the feature set of learning platforms?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How will AI affect the feature set of learning platforms?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/HfDDyo3eceQ?si=aDg7pHUnh70ixYCu) If you look at how people typically use learning platforms, it's to log in and then take a traditional course which is typically broken up into **modules and sections**. If you're lucky, it's **gamified** and if you're super lucky, it will also track your **competencies**. And that is an obvious area that AI can assist. So specifically, **AI can allow an instructor, professor, or a teacher to automatically create amazingly sophisticated courses** in as little as 10 minutes. They're not gonna do 100% of the job, but they will do at least 80% of the job. But that's a fairly straightforward answer. I think there's a much more interesting answer looking beyond the way that people have traditionally learnt using platforms. So for example, a lot of people have something they want to learn right now, something that's very important, mission critical, they don't have time or the inclination to try rummage around and find a course in your jukebox of courses and take it. So one of the cool things that AI can do is that you can use generative AI. So **you can learn something right there**, **on demand** in an easy to use consumable format without having to take a course. And this is something that I think of as being kind of **instant learning or just in time learning** if you like. I think the more profound thing that's going to occur as well, is that **these platforms pretty soon are going to have personal agents**. A personal agent is going to be a thing **running 24/7 in the background, trying to find ways to help you to accomplish your learning objectives.** They might be recommending you content, they might be automatically noticing useful news articles and summarizing them for you, they might be automatically following a week after you've consumed some material and giving you a little refresher. This is something which I think is going to revolutionize the way that learning platforms work. So stay tuned and let's see if this all comes true. **Will AI replace teachers?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Will AI replace teachers?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ldhMqAfrxB0?si=bWS8HhqiP5JPPw_X) **The short answer is no**, why do I feel this? I used to be a teacher. I was an educator. I used to teach Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas. People really liked my classes and one of the reasons is the **energy**, **enthusiasm**, and **anecdotes** that I brought to the classroom, which then got everyone really excited learning and put them in the right frame of mind. And obviously I delivered the core materials, but there was so much more that I did. I did lots of **really cool hands-on projects** - let's build a neural network simulator. And so **I**always got great reviews and **people really enjoyed my classes** and they still send me emails randomly today. **So wouldn't AI have done that? I don't think so**. However, if I had gone into a lecture and all I said was "Ok everybody, turn to page 15. Now let's all read together", yeah, I could have probably been replaced by an AI if I was that bad and that boring. But **I do like to think that a majority of educators actually do a lot more**. And the most important thing that you can do is to **inspire and motivate your students**. **How do businesses or universities maintain a competitive edge when the AI generated content is similar for courses built around similar topics? Is AI truly the great equalizer?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How do businesses or universities maintain a competitive edge when the AI generated content is similar for courses built around similar topics? Is AI truly the great equalizer?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/SW-cJf01w-A?si=JmHY5oE2Jo4eKC5S) Part one is the AI does not generate the whole course. The **AI is meant to generate 80% of the course**, the core that frankly no one really wants to spend their time doing so that an **instructor can spend the additional 20% adding their own flavor**, adding their own anecdotes, making it theirs. If all the courses are the same, that means people aren't doing their job and they're just pressing a button and then they're just teaching it, which is not our philosophy at all. The second thing is if you are going to build courses using AI, then you also want those courses to be **modern and engaging**, which means that you would like them to adopt a **competency-based** approach so that all of the materials are tagged back to the things that they are teaching and assessing. You would like them to be **gamified**. Ideally, you would like things like **digital voice overs** to make them engaging. What we've done in our course-building **Copilot tool**, is to build all of that directly into the tool to **save people a lot of time and money**. I would say the last thing, honestly, which gives universities the biggest competitive edge is **the kinds of instructors that they hire**. There are poor instructors who will just teach by the book and there are really gifted instructors who know how to make any subject lively, fun, and memorable. You want to hire those kinds of people, the best platform you can deploy for them, the best AI integration you can give them, that'll make them happy and then they can **spend more time doing what they do best, which is to inspire their students**. **How can organizations best implement AI in their L&D programs?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How can organizations best implement AI in their L&D programs?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/iINvdlgiPus?si=xbTuW49561iIYuDA) So, definitely use CYPHER Learning, but apart from the obvious one, I would say that there are different ways to use AI. There are ways which are quite shallow. You create a traditional class, but maybe you just tag a few videos using AI and then you're done. That is shallow use.  And then there is deep use of AI, where you start auto-generating some of the content using AI, you use AI Crosscheck to make sure that it's accurate, where you're tagging almost everything with the various different skills, where you're building skills maps dynamically using AI.  There's so much more you can do with AI and at CYPHER Learning, we're focused on deep use of AI. So if you want to check out our platform, you'll find we do a lot with artificial intelligence. **NEW How can AI agents enable personalization?** Watch the video or read the answer: [NEW How can AI agents enable personalization?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ImAMZlF5Iwk?si=gY48AFcruEpMKUTv) This is a fantastic topic because when people have talked personalization in the past, in the world of education, it's normally at a fairly mundane level. For example, you like audio training, so it's going to recommend you an audiobook. Or you prefer more advanced examples, so it gets rid of all the modules that are basic and then it shows you the advanced ones. So it was really that you set up the system and, based on personalization, it either turns something on or turns it off. Now generative AI can go way beyond that. We have the CYPHER Agent learning tool and the CYPHER Agent learning tool knows all you. It constantly learns as you interact with it, like your preferences. I like DNA. I like learning all DNA sequencing. That might be something it knows you. And when you go into the learning tool, it's not picking content from some library; it's creating fresh content right there for you based on your own personal preferences. So I'll give you an example from K-20 and then I'll give you an example from business. Let's just say that you're a kid and it knows that you like Minecraft and then you ask the learning tool “hey, I want to learn all physics.” Because it knows you like Minecraft, it will literally generate you imagery that's Minecraft inspired and somewhat pixelated. It will use analogies from Minecraft as it's teaching you physics. So we're talking a completely new level of personalization where the content itself is personalized for you. That's only possible because of our use of generative AI and it's amazing in action to see how well it does. Let's take a look at the world of business. If I say I like more advanced materials and I have a hobby based on genetic engineering. And then I say “Please teach me DNA sequencing” it will take all of those into account and it will pitch it at a more advanced level. It will give analogies from genetic engineering or how DNA sequencing can be used for genetic engineering. It's really amazing. We're entering a completely new world, and CYPHER Learning is totally 100% embracing generative AI to enable next generation personalization. **What is AI-enabled skills management and why is it important to HR departments?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What is AI-enabled skills management and why is it important to HR departments?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/4a7OV4A85GM?si=vwZI2Ay3SWk7dE5K) Now, if you think it, one of the main things that you want to do in HR or L&D, is to help people evolve in their careers, help them to do their job better, make sure they stay with the latest technologies, et cetera. And as the world moves faster and faster, it's more and more important for people to learn stuff.  But you just don't learn random stuff, you learn very specific skills that are specific to your job.  So in the ideal environment, what you'd like to be able to do is for somebody, which could be your manager, could be your peers, it could be by an AI agent that says, "Hey Graham, to do your job better, you should get better at skills ABC and D" and I go, "Great, please help me do that." And then ideally, it would analyze the skills that you had, all the materials out there, including potentially human experts that could help you - cohorts - map those things together and then help you on your merry way.  But, that matching process is nontrivial, because one department might call a particular skill X, a different department calls it Y, an educational vendor calls it Z. How do you know these three things are all actually the same thing?  It is possible to do this without AI, but it would require quite a brittle one-to-many set of connections. Whereas an AI can adapt and is much more fluid in its understanding. And an AI can say: of course, X Y and Z are all the same thing - I'm gonna bring all those things together. So AI has the potential to break down a lot of the barriers to understanding skills, mapping them, and then helping people to get better at the skills they need for their job. **How is CYPHER Learning helping enterprises who want to use skill-based education?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How is CYPHER Learning helping enterprises who want to use skill-based education?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/l8tIOG0VvH0?si=ExHU9EZHQQ1DBwgI) So one of the things that we're doing is we're making it much easier to create fresh, educational content that's modern and associate it with fine-grained skills. What I mean by fine-grained skills are, say if you build a course digital marketing, you don't want to say this course is just marketing. You want to say here's SEO, here's pay-per-click, and here's brand management.  So every single assessment, every single quiz question, every single video, everything is mapped to those skills. Then by doing that, if somebody takes a course and they go through the course, you're going to be able to figure out their understanding of all those various different skills. By tagging those things, people who have a deficiency in a skill, who want to get good at a skill, can find those materials very, very easily. And we have found that without using AI, it's a much, much bigger burden on the L&D staff to create skills ready materials.  Now, we are actually doing even cooler stuff by actually dynamically generating personalized content based on your skill requirements, more that later. So stay tuned.  **Is AI training a waste of time?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Is AI training a waste of time?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/W4IlNvjlNO8?si=pKjKphY18-xLP0Qf) I would say Yes and No. I think it's very good for people to learn enough an AI to realize that they make mistakes, that you have to be persistent and conversational with them to get to where you want to be. I think that is good.  But I think spending time training how to become your own prompt engineer is mostly a waste of time. So, for example, if you want to build courses in a few minutes, you go to our platform, you don't have to know anything prompt engineering. You just say, build me a course this, fill in the blanks and then say Go.  So we do think more and more AI is going to be packaged and managed, so you don't have to know much AI. But you do need to realize it's not perfect and you are still in control. **Is using AI cheating?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Is using AI cheating?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/vSAZUF5VFLI?si=60t5rlY7sQygkGDs) It depends. I'll give you an obvious case of cheating. Case number one is, you've got a kid at school. They get a work question. They put it into ChatGPT, copy and paste, and don't use their brain. Obviously cheating. Second one, I ask an engineer for a daily report and rather than actually writing out what they did, they use ChatGPT, obviously cheating. However, a couple of other examples, let's just say you're in K-20, you're working on a term paper and it's really complicated and you want to run it by AI at the end to improve your writing style, et cetera. Not cheating. That's using an AI to augment what your brain has already mostly done. You're a developer and you're working on a really tough bit of engineering and there's one particular piece of code that you want to crank out. It's fairly junior code, but you don't want to spend the time to do it. You use an AI to do that, not cheating. So there's a couple of examples where, definitely cheating, definitely not cheating. **How do I see the evolution of human skills and AI in the workplace?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How do I see the evolution of human skills and AI in the workplace?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/3frr5aM52ks?si=KZjx2rfKJRnWJF3V) I think AI is certainly going to get better and better and better. Which means that a human being who knows how to tag team with an AI will be able to magnify their productive powers enormously. But it also means that humans who don't know how to use an AI will gradually get left behind in their chosen careers. So I think AIs, and especially with the advent of agent technology, are definitely going to get better, they're going to be increasingly productive when tag teamed with a human who knows how to utilize them. **Should workers be concerned the implementation of AI in the workplace?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Should workers be concerned the implementation of AI in the workplace?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/HYYvggnjTXo?si=jFLOLBAqElbzrz9W) I would say generally speaking, yes. There's a few reasons that come to mind. First of all, these AIs are getting better, which means that people are going to have to stay more and more in touch with modern skills. And if you're in a workplace that obviously ultimately is going to get completely replaced by AI, you need to be thinking how you take your skills and apply them to an industry which is completely open for human workers. So I would say that's an obvious one. I would say the second one, which is not quite so obvious, is some businesses are too enthusiastic and gung-ho using AI and your boss might be telling you “yeah, use an AI for that,” and you as the experienced worker might be, “it's not ready for that yet, please don't do it.” So I think the other thing is that people do have to push back sometimes and maybe alert senior management if they can see AI being used in ways that are not appropriate, at least at this point in time. **NEW How can AI help with the upskilling of employees?** Watch the video or read the answer: [NEW How can AI help with the upskilling of employees?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/6AKezAES3qw?si=8NxJpmNS1-cFJHiY) We all know that the world is changing faster than ever before and whatever skills your employees have might not be completely up to date. Every company needs to have a mechanism where people can upskill regularly. And employees appreciate this as well–it's not just the managers who appreciate it–people like keeping up with skills. There are two different ways to do this in the CYPHER Learning platform, powered by CYPHER Agent. The first is if the L&D department wants to crank out more and more courses that are up to date. Our course creation tool powered by CYPHER Agent will allow those people to create courses much more quickly than they ever could before–we're talking in days, not in weeks or months and at a much lower cost. One way that we allow AI to help upskilling is for L&D to create tons of courses that people can take to stay up to date with their skills. And not just L&D. We allow the democratization of course creation. So sales enablement people can create their own courses very easily. People in marketing can create their own courses very easily. People in engineering. What we're seeing with the CYPHER Agent is that people are able to create, much more quickly, courses to allow their employees to stay up to date. The second thing that we do, which is unique to CYPHER Learning, is that the CYPHER Agent also powers a learning tool. And what the learning tool allows is for anyone to click a button, tell the agent what they want to learn, and then in real time, it gives you a generative AI learning experience which goes way beyond what you can get in ChatGPT. If I say I want to learn digital leadership, it'll figure out what are all the concepts that I need to learn. It'll generate you a graphical, clickable concept map. It will create a table of contents that allows you to click on any particular area that you're interested in. And when you click on a particular area, it will generate personalized content just for you based on everything that it knows your personal profile, your interests, your experiences, so it's tailored just for you. It also does AI Crosscheck. We use 2 premium AIs, not one. One of them is generating the content, the other, from a different vendor, is in real time cross-checking that content. We're the only company that I'm aware of that does that, and that's to ensure that your employees are getting accurate, in-the-moment information. The other thing I'm going to mention is that anywhere in our system where we list skills–if you're in a course, we will list all the skills that the course is teaching; if you create a learning goal comprised of various skills, we list those skills–if you ever need help with skills, you can just select the skills you want help with, click Learn using AI and the CYPHER Agent will use its learning tool to give you a deep dive into the areas that you really need help on. We already provide an amazing Gen AI powered system for upskilling employees. And later on this year we're going way beyond what I just mentioned, so stay tuned. **NEW As a business, how can you ensure successful adoption of AI agents in the space of learning?** Watch the video or read the answer: [NEW As a business, how can you ensure successful adoption of AI agents in the space of learning?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZHHe_-bSpYM?si=v3LOiwaaa9g21y4m) Now, your job is actually easier than you might think it is. How many people use ChatGPT every day? Hundreds of millions of people. They love it. It's enjoyable. It helps them with their job, it helps them with their everyday life. The question isn't really how do you get people to love GenAI: they already do. It's more a question how you can get those kinds of people logging into your learning platform and enjoying it as much as they already do in ChatGPT. I am an avid user of ChatGPT. I'm also a learning specialist. What we wanted to do as a company is provide a learning experience that was way better than ChatGPT. And our feeling is that people like different modes of learning. There is learning-in-the-moment, which is “I just want to get an answer to my question right away. I want to learn a skill right away.” And for that, people have traditionally (and when I say traditionally, in the last two years) have gone to a tool like ChatGPT. But when they have to take their boring compliance course, that's when they log into their learning platform and they take it and they get out as quickly as they can because it's not a very pleasant experience. We want to provide a platform powered by generative AI that provides learning-in-the-moment, better, way better than ChatGPT and provides you traditional learning through courses way better than you'd ever experienced in any other typical learning platform. So through CYPHER Agent, we provide both. You can create a course manually if you want. And those courses manually are great. They're gamified, they have automation, they are graphically beautiful, so people have a very good visceral experience of taking a course. CYPHER Agent allows you to build those kinds of courses superhumanly fast. In 10 minutes create a course anything which you can then customize until you're happy with it. And we provide the new CYPHER Agent learning tool which goes way beyond ChatGPT and provides you with a graphical overview of what you want to learn. It provides you with a clickable concept map and a table of contents. You can talk to the agent anything you get stuck on. It shows you related courses. And it's cross-checked by another premium AI, which ChatGPT does not do, believe me. It's all a jujitsu move–take what people already love, but then show them, in the CYPHER Learning platform, that you can get something even better and it's beautifully integrated with existing courses which can be done for compliance purposes, or they can be done on a per department basis. We're trying to make it as easy as possible to get people loving the CYPHER platform and loving logging into their learning platform. Future trends and impacts of AI **What do I think of the proposed US Bill of Rights on AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What do I think of the proposed US Bill of Rights on AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/4KBQBZPD_TE?si=iC8mEQz_mLVMbjGf) Overall I think it makes **complete sense**. I don't think there's anything weird in there. To give you an idea of the kind of things that they're thinking , one of them is **privacy**. So if you're going to use an AI, you want to be assured that it's not going to take all of your data and share it with other people. So that makes good sense. Another thing is related to **national security**. The government is going to work with key vendors such as OpenAI and Microsoft to try and make it as difficult as possible to use an advanced AI for nefarious purposes - such as building a biological agent or blowing up a nuclear reactor. Another thing which is very important is there's no question that AIs are going to get used more and more for calculating algorithmically various outcomes which can affect your livelihood. So for example, you might be applying for credit, you might be applying for housing and we want to **make sure that the AIs do not either directly or indirectly discriminate** against any one particular audience, thereby putting them at a disadvantage. And the last one is related to jobs. It's quite obvious that **AI is going to displace a whole bunch of jobs over the next few decades**, but ideally, people in those particular jobs can transition through a process of upskilling to other jobs. And one of the things that the **US government wants to do is to try and make sure that that does not happen too abruptly**, to give people in those jobs plenty of time to transition to other jobs. So overall, I view the US Bill of Rights for AI as being very sensible and I don't see any particular issues with it. **Will AI have the ability to evaluate human performance over time?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Will AI have the ability to evaluate human performance over time?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/_tJaVRBK53k?si=4PKV2KwT6fJgGoPv) I would say the answer is**yes but with caveats**. Let's assume that the AI has access to your outputs - if you're an engineer, what kind of code do you write, if you're a creative writer, the text that you write. You can certainly evaluate that, I don't think there's any magic involved in that. But there's a huge number of things that you do during the day which really help your organization - **whether you are fun to be around, you've got a great attitude, you've got a good team spirit, you rise to the challenge when the tough times hit**. All of those are things that the AI probably won't have direct access to. Maybe someone could write it up, but unless we're surrounded by security cameras, they're not going to see you at 10pm at night fixing that really tough bug for an important customer. So I think that yes, they will be able to evaluate outputs over time, but I think **there's a lot more to evaluation than just evaluating your outputs**. **What are we not yet aware of that will impact the future of learning?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What are we not yet aware of that will impact the future of learning?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/KtPOgemiF8o?si=KMo5UyHr3LjUAnx4) I'm going to use a few examples, one from schools and universities, but it also applies equally well to businesses. The thing that most people don't talk that much right now is **personal agents**. What I mean by a personal agent is something that knows a lot you, who is helping you, who is available 24/7, and is continually adjusting to your goals and your interactions with the agent. Let's say you're interested in a particular topic and you talk to your agent and you say, “Hey, can you tell me a bit more X?” So the agent knows now that you're interested in X. It has access to the entire internet, knows it can start finding lots of interesting related topics once it's interacted with you. If it gets the sense that you didn't quite understand, it might say, “Hey, let me explain this in a different way”. A week later, it might say, “I just want to do a quick pop quiz for you to see if you remember.” Which, by the way, I do all of these things for my kids, so I'm like their personal agent if you like. You can compare that against what you see in a traditional learning environment where you go from one teacher in one year to another teacher, then you change schools or in the world of L&D you learn in this organization, then you move to a different organization in the same business, then you join a different business. **It's constantly changing.** But with the personal agent, it won't matter because it's yours. It doesn't report to the business per se. The other thing is **it will have access to so much information** out there on the internet in real time. So if there is a new subject or a new related material, it can let you know within 10 minutes. Try doing that at school. I think that the **new AI generation**, my kids for example, are already beginning to interact with AI and they're enjoying it. I think they're **going to come to expect this form of customization and detailed interaction**. There's always the danger that if they go to their school, university, or business and it's not somewhat up to speed, they are going to feel like they are in the dark ages in this place and I'm just going to get back to my trusty personal agent. That's what I think is going to be **a pretty big deal in the world of education**. **Does ChatGPT lower learner performance in the classroom?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Does ChatGPT lower learner performance in the classroom?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/gDxwiUBl7ks?si=iDj0qCC_8Hb4A7VB) It really **depends on how they're using it**. If you teach the class the same way that you always did, you give the same kind of questions, and the students can just turn around and use ChatGPT to quickly find an answer, then yes it's probably going to make lazy students even lazier, shall we say. That's **asking for problems if you're just teaching the same way while people are using AI**, you're going to be doing them a disservice. What you need to do is to **create a much more complex set of tasks for them to do that are going to get them to think deeply how do I use an AI**? How do I team up with it to achieve this much higher level of performance? In those situations, the students are actually having to **think creatively** how to engage with the AI, whether it's how do I **prompt engineer**, how do I **scrub** it to make sure it's true because if I just copy and paste something and it's obviously wrong it's going to make the student look bad. There are a lot of things that they have to do, but as I said, I think the main onus is going to be on the **teacher or instructor to raise the bar of what's expected** so that it doesn't allow people to get mentally lazy. **What is the relationship between AI and soft skills?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What is the relationship between AI and soft skills?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/26VC4P2UZb0?si=jPtMZgjzha6roGut) One of the things that many times goes unspoken is the fact that during the daytime **you interact with a lot of different people**, whether it's talking with a creative writer who's trying to pick your brain which particular angle to take something on, if you happen to be in the medical services it might be people working in ER for example, or a neurosurgeon. I can think of tons of people that you interact with where **the way that they interact with you is crucial to both of your outcomes**. If I go into an ER and there's a doctor who's not empathetic, is rude, and doesn't see that I'm in huge pain and I need to get priority, then obviously I'm going to be very dissatisfied. Whereas I've had some very positive interactions with the medical profession where they make you feel so at ease, they understand where you're coming from, they give you priority when it's necessary and it's a huge part of being a successful professional and I think the soft skills have always been pretty important. I think now people are starting to say, “Hey, what is the difference between me and some AI?” One of the first things they will come up with is the **soft skills** aspect. I think there's going to be a lot of people around the world who are going to be quite motivated to improve their soft skills. Interestingly enough, **software powered by AI might be one of the ways that you can accelerate your ability to have very good soft skills**. I know at CYPHER we're doing a lot of work with organizations and schools to use **competency-based learning to measure soft skills and to target specific areas of strength and weakness**. I think, yes, they're definitely related and I think there's going to be **a lot more emphasis on soft skills as a result of the resurgence of AI**. **What is a personal agent and what will it do for you?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What is a personal agent and what will it do for you?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/hcN3t99lMHk?si=FeJdpj4GKcGy0-HN) Generally speaking, **an agent is something that will operate autonomously on your behalf**. So it's not something that you have to ask a question and then it responds. You basically can say, “Hey, I want to learn all kinds of topics” and then it will just operate like a little squirrel 24/7, hunting down nuggets of information, serving them up, making suggestions. We really think that agents are the future of AI, and a lot of other people do, this is not just my personal opinion. We're in the education industry so **we're working very hard on bringing the power of personal agents to educators**. And that would apply to both learners, so how do you help a learner along with their educational journey? But also educators, who want to create engaging materials and an agent can work on your behalf as well. **What are the implications for the future of tech and employment?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What are the implications for the future of tech and employment?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/dqgzrGoRkTY?si=NUuyy1SbC-9XTX_s) Turnitin recently announced that they were going to be able to significantly downsize their engineering team and replace a bunch of the engineers with AI. I've a few thoughts on that. So first of all, let's just take AI off the plate completely. **The best way to build software efficiently is to have small teams of really experienced people** who create reusable frameworks and **bring in the most advanced tooling**, so that a small number of people can do a lot. Those are high performance engineering teams and that's the kind of team that we have here at CYPHER Learning. There are certainly engineering teams that haven't adopted the latest software best practices where they do have more less talented engineers, shall we say, building a lot of mediocre stuff that could be done in a much more efficient way. And I think if you have an engineering organization like that, then it's certainly possible that you could downsize somewhat by leveraging AI. But I really do think in this case that AI is like a red herring. I think that you would normally reduce an engineering team regardless, if your team is so easily replaceable by AI. At CYPHER Learning there's absolutely no way I can replace anyone in our engineering team with AI because they're just way too good, but they do **use AI on a daily basis to make their own productivity more efficient**. **How will AI impact graduating students entering the workforce?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How will AI impact graduating students entering the workforce?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/C62WmhoRkWA?si=zwh4xS_DCrNzIP80) I think that **almost any job in the workforce can benefit from AI** unless it's flipping burgers at your local In-N-Out. But I think it's really important for people joining the workforce to be well-versed in how to use AI right out of the starting gate. Like I know **at CYPHER Learning, we pretty much expect most people at this point to be using AI to become more productive**. And I would get quite concerned if there was an employee in almost any position who wasn't using AI. So you don't want to be that one clueless graduate student getting a new job and everybody else is using AI around you and you're not really sure what it's . I would say it definitely is going to make you more productive, but you don't want to be that person who doesn't know how to use an AI. **What is the current state of AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What is the current state of AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/lNkheGF7ZME?si=OBvvbYAiJlgbxC_r) My viewpoint is that right now, there is a whole cluster of AI with somewhat similar capabilities. Whether it's ChatGPT 4.0 or Anthropic Claude, there's Gemini from Google. But they're all in the same ballpark, there's nothing that's one massive breakaway or a huge step up. **I think everyone in the AI industry is expecting a step up fairly soon.** There have been various leaks a ChatGPT 5.0, a new version of Google Gemini, etc. I think you're going to see them quite soon get more accurate, so less hallucinations and much better more powerful reasoning. I read somewhere that there's a guy who's an expert in electronics and one of the things that he does to find out how good an AI is, is to design a complicated bit of electronic devices with all the resistors and capacitors and everything. This guy apparently stumbled across an early version of the next version of ChatGPT and said they did an amazing job and no other AI had done that before. So I think you're going to see a step function pretty soon, you're going to see prices continue to drop on the basics. You're going to see much more powerful video synthesis, much more powerful image synthesis. **I think all of these things are going to happen in the next 6 to 9 months.** **But then I think the bigger wave is going to be towards AI agents**, which was the subject of a previous LinkedIn post from yours truly. **Are there different agents you can use?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Are there different agents you can use?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/UqDyhTZF3aA?si=aIkyRSIzUhcD8lnn) The answer is yes. You can typically think a spectrum. On one side you've got an agent in a box where the agent can do things for you, but it can't necessarily spend your money or actually book a plane flight, versus all the way to very autonomous agents where you give them the freedom to actually open your wallet and buy things. Now we think that the agent in the box, at least for the time being, is going to be much more popular, much more common. That's the kind of agent that we are working on right now. **NEW What makes AI agents different from generative AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [NEW What makes AI agents different from generative AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZabOf60RzIg?si=pOQJ5IRVjNVrDyjG) It's a little bit of a technical nuance. Generative AI is one kind of AI, but there's been lots of other different AI's over the years–rules-based AI, hand-coded AI. But generative AI; that's the one that's all the rage these days, and it's fantastic. AI agents are also a certain concept. An agent is something that normally does things for you; it has some degree of agency, so it's not a co-pilot. It's not like you are working hand in hand on a task together. It's one where the agent kind of does everything, or it'll certainly keep you in the loop as it makes choices and does things on its own volition. You can build an agent without generative AI and you can have an AI without it being generative AI. But if you look at the sweet spot these days, if you're gonna pick a kind of AI, it's generative AI, which is getting better and better. Literally like almost every week at this point. The most modern AI agents are built out of generative AI. So for example, the CYPHER agent–which can do a lot of things for you already and tons of additional things later on this year, such as the learning tool–will be able to teach you anything that you want, even if there's no course available for it to base it on. The CYPHER Agent is all built on generative AI and we'll typically use a mix of premium AIs from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic to do the work. They can exist on their own, but if you look at where everything is going, it's towards AI agents built on generative AI. **Why are stateful AIs important?** Watch the video or read the answer: [Why are stateful AIs important?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/hGK34V4mJ94?si=m6nBvAQ8ueADInEw) A stateful AI is particularly important when you're talking agents, because in the case of an agent, you're given a mission. It might be to book a lovely vacation to Barbados or something and it's going to know all the steps that are necessary. It's going to go from step one to step two to step three. It always knows where it is towards its goal. You will be in the loop. So you are part of the stateful agent's goal.  Whereas for a copilot, there's typically not very much state. There's a short job and you're finished and you're done. So that's why state is very important - especially with regards to AI agents. **How does CYPHER Learning stay ahead in the rapidly evolving EdTech industry?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How does CYPHER Learning stay ahead in the rapidly evolving EdTech industry?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/AMZg3mucgos?si=N9dQv7hBfc6V2-kr) I have to say, I don't think the tech industry is rapidly evolving. I mean, we know who our competitors are and they seem to be moving quite slowly, to be honest with you. The way that we innovate is not based on how rapidly anybody else is innovating.  We're very passionate where we think the future is going and we are building it as fast as we can, independently of how everybody else is doing. But we do have to say that when we look around, it seems like a lot of companies are moving really slowly right now. **How will recent advancements in generative AI impact Edtech?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How will recent advancements in generative AI impact Edtech?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/gm-MDAGzqH0?si=xakr7lXNie6wtRt9) AI is moving so fast, "recent" could be yesterday for all I know, but I will say there's been a lot of advancements in video generation. So pretty soon you're going to see real-time videos teaching you almost anything, without you needing to have to go to YouTube, for example. They could be personalized, they could even be done with your voice or your face - it's gonna be quite crazy.  The reasoning aspect is getting stronger and stronger. You guys have probably heard Project Strawberry. And so we're expecting to see some more advancements there. Advanced reasoning means that AI agents can become smarter. So they will be able to assist you in much more profound ways, to help you learn whatever it is that you want to learn.  And I also think the price performance is amazing. You know, we dropped the prices of Copilot by say 30% last week and it's getting faster. Its multi-language support is increasing. So the prices are just going to keep going down, which just makes this more accessible to all of our customers. **How do I see AI being used in other industries outside of the learning industry?** Watch the video or read the answer: [How do I see AI being used in other industries outside of the learning industry?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/3atfQZo2Rf0?si=r6bK5iW3GfI73isa) Now, it's basically being very, very useful in pretty much all industries as far as I can tell. But one area in particular would be drug discovery. You know, drug discovery has typically been a quite hit-or-miss problem. And thanks to innovations such as AlphaFold out of the Google Research labs and other things that OpenAI are doing, they're using AI to increasingly speed up drug discovery and make it a far more directed approach versus a hit-or-miss approach. So there's just one example where I think AI can do an amazing job and it would be really, really hard for human beings to be as sophisticated in terms of drug discovery without using AI. **What do I think is the biggest misconception AI?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What do I think is the biggest misconception AI?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/SH4lDGcJ8Ks?si=I7TWMxGV_cjo6-BI) I would say the biggest misconception is people assume that it's always going to have hallucinations and make mistakes. Now, it's always possible to make a mistake. But these AIs are getting better and better and more thoughtful and scrubbing their answers. And if you've been tracking OpenAI, yesterday, they released the o1 model, which in the professional version of the o1 model can actually think up to one minute before it gives you the answer. So I think it's not going to be that long until AIs make way less mistakes than they ever used to. It'll never go to zero, but it'll be way, way more accurate than even a human expert. **What's my biggest prediction for AI in 2025?** Watch the video or read the answer: [What's my biggest prediction for AI in 2025?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/lsb4xXYTziM?si=tbFmLATXE1H2r97P) Three words, agents, agents, agents. And what I mean by that, I'll give you an example from the learning industry, which is obviously where CYPHER is. In the past, people were not necessarily that great at self-directed learning. They weren't sure what they really needed, they weren't sure how to study appropriately. Managers might have a difficult time tracking what their learners are up to and making recommendations. But AI is pretty good at this stuff. If it knows what you want out of your career, if it knows what you're good at, what you need help with, then it can craft a personalized learning path for you, it can generate personalized content just for you. If you're a manager, it can automatically track what's going on with all of your workers and how well they're doing and where they need help. And it can all be done proactively by an AI agent. We're really working hard on agent technology. We've got the first learner agent coming out very soon, but a lot of what we're doing in 2025 is applying proactive AI in the form of agents to all of the stakeholders who use the CYPHER platform.

If workers want to stay competitive in the job market, they need to approach **learning and reskilling as a lifelong endeavor**. However, time is crucial. Almost no adult has the luxury of spending a lot of time studying as they did in their college years. They are simply too busy, juggling family and job-related issues. This is why trainers should adopt strategies that work best with adult learners. The Five A model that Kimberly Devin details in her book “[Same Training, Half the Time: Delivering Results for Busy Learners](https://www.amazon.com/Same-Training-Half-Time-Delivering/dp/1939247098)” is a useful tool in **dealing with busy learners**. 1. ### Appreciate For some companies, under certain circumstances, your presence there is a luxury. **Make the most of that time** so they’ll get their money’s worth. Feel free to express your gratitude to your clients and do the best job that you can. 2. ### Acknowledge Make sure that you understand which are the core issues and offer alternative solutions to your clients. Try to put yourself in their place and anticipate the **added value of the learning outcomes**. For instance, if the request is for a soft skills training program, go deeper into the problem to get to the bottom of things. 3. ### Ask questions To identify training needs and create a suitable program, you need to know the company’s background and see what can be **improved through learning programs**. Ask questions that will allow your clients to talk their expectations or the most important issues. 4. ### Apprehension If very **high expectations** are not matched with **consistent resources**, you should say so. For instance, if you offer a blended training program for employees across the country, it’s a big problem if the company does not have a video conferencing system in place. 5. ### Alternatives Use your expertise to come up with at least two solutions within the allocated budget and ask them to choose the most suitable one. Involve your clients in the decision-making process and **guide them in their choices** if you feel that they need an informed opinion.

Cubrimos temas para maestros, administradores de LMS, administración escolar e incluso padres. **Negocios / MATRIX:** Corporativo. Nuestros lectores son diseñadores instructivos, capacitadores, gerentes y profesionales de recursos humanos. **Emprendedores / INDIE:** Emprendedores. Los lectores son empresarios del conocimiento que crean, fabrican y venden cursos en línea sobre una variedad de temas (estado físico, tutoría en línea, entrenamiento, etc.). ¿Debo evitar ciertos temas? Sí. Aquellos que no tienen absolutamente ninguna conexión con el e-learning o edtech. Por ejemplo, incluso si deseas hablar sobre consejos de administración del tiempo para emprendedores del conocimiento, el artículo debe estar relacionado con el aprendizaje electrónico y adaptarse a nuestra audiencia. Evita también los temas generales. ¿Cuáles son sus pautas de contenido y estilo? **Adaptado a la audiencia.** El texto debe dirigirse a nuestros lectores principales (ver ¿Cuál es tu audiencia principal?) y ofrecer soluciones a sus puntos débiles. No se tomarán en consideración temas generales que no ofrezcan nada de valor. Cuando corresponda, incluye consejos de expertos y ejemplos. **Legibilidad.** La escritura debe ser simple y fácil de seguir. Evita las palabras pomposas, la jerga y los clichés. Aléjate de modificadores, adjetivos y adverbios innecesarios. Las oraciones no deben tener más de 20 palabras cada una y deben ser breves para que sean concisas. Usa un tono informal y conversacional en lugar de un lenguaje académico o formal. **Bien investigado e informativo.** Esperamos una investigación exhaustiva y que los escritores respalden sus afirmaciones con datos recientes y referencias de alta calidad. **Usa inglés americano.** Debido a que estamos ubicados en los Estados Unidos de América, usamos la ortografía estadounidense (por ejemplo, "color" en lugar de "colour"). Permitimos el uso de "ellos" como un pronombre singular, de género neutro. **Ten en cuenta el SEO, pero escribe para nuestra audiencia.** Es bueno tener en cuenta el SEO y es por eso que generalmente ofrecemos un resumen del artículo completo con palabras clave relevantes a los escritores que se acercan a nosotros para una posible colaboración. Sin embargo, es más importante centrarse en hacer que el texto sea agradable de leer, y haremos la parte de SEO durante la fase de edición. **Sigue las pautas de términos de la industria.** Nuestro objetivo es ser coherentes con el uso de "e-learning" y "edtech", aunque existen otras formas para cada uno de estos términos y no son incorrectas. Entonces, si cambiamos tu ortografía de "eLearning" a "e-learning" es solo una cuestión de estilo. **Manten una buena estructura.** El artículo debe tener una introducción, un cuerpo y una conclusión. Asegúrate de dividir los párrafos largos en párrafos más cortos. No olvides agregar títulos cuando sea apropiado. Siempre que sea posible, incluya subtítulos, listas o citas. **Agrega elementos visuales si corresponde.** Te recomendamos que agregues imágenes como gráficos o tablas si ayudan a ilustrar un punto y agregar valor al artículo final. **Contenido no promocional.** No aceptamos contenido que sea promocional y use lenguaje de ventas. ¿Esperas que los escritores envíen un artículo completo o solo una lista de temas es suficiente? Ambos pueden funcionar. Puedes enviar un artículo completo para su consideración o, si no está 100 % seguro de que lo que deseas escribir se ajuste perfectamente al blog, puedes enviar una lista de temas. Por lo general, creamos un artículo breve para los colaboradores para ayudarlos a redactar el artículo. Además, se agradece mucho que nos envíes una muestra de tu trabajo anterior. ¿Qué extensión debe tener mi artículo? La longitud del artículo depende de varios factores. Requerimos un mínimo de **1000 palabras.** Sin embargo, los artículos de nuestro blog suelen tener entre 1200 y 2000 palabras, siendo 1500 un buen promedio. ¿Puedo incluír enlaces? ¡De hecho, te alentamos a hacerlo!

The MOEHE chose CYPHER as the best modern learning platform to help them forward the Qeducation initiative. In March 2023, one year after the successful implementation of the CYPHER platform for all of the public schools in the state of Qatar, CYPHER, in collaboration with the Qatar Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE), led a well-attended workshop: Providing students, teachers and parents with digital technology for learning for the private schools of Qatar to discuss the best learning solutions for advancing education. The March workshop was held to: - Provide an update on the initiative of launching the Qatar Education System and allow the MOEHE to share their experience - Discuss compelling Qatar Education platform features and characteristics - Discuss the impact of the system on the educational journey of students, teachers and parents - Extend the offering to the private schools of Qatar and create a Founding Members group ## Qatar education system initiative update Before CYPHER, the Ministry relied on a traditional LMS system and a separate, stand alone communications platform. With limited digital capabilities and without mobile device support, teachers, students, and parents became frustrated with the inability to track progress or communicate with each other. Administrators and teachers found it increasingly difficult to manage the educational electronic content, integrate with other ministry systems, create reports, or scale out to support the number of students who needed to access the system. Compelled by an urgent need for a comprehensive learning management to help them manage the educational process, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education officially launched the e-learning management system for public schools in the State of Qatar, "Qatar Education" in January 2022. The objectives were as follows: - Meet the needs of the educational process in the State of Qatar including its future aspirations - Keep pace with global developments in modern e-learning systems - Provide all the features that educators need to create and deliver the highest level of educational content online. - Provide educational services to both students and parents To create the best possible learning experience for their students, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education partnered with CYPHER to provide Qeducation. ## Positively impacting the educational journey of students, teachers, and parents In 2022, when Qeducation was implemented, Qatar’s education system was enriched with many new classes, videos, and content for a more enjoyable learning experience. Adoption rate in the first month of teachers and students from grade 3 to grade 12 registered on the system was 99% and 91% respectively. And engagement of students, teachers, and parents skyrocketed. ### Education Teachers reported that it was easy to create fun and motivating lessons for students, and that the new learning platform offered a diversity of learning styles including face-to-face education, self learning, blended learning, and micro-learning. Teachers and administrators immediately realized the implications of building automated learning paths, as well as being able to more accurately evaluate student progress available with analytics and reporting tools. Designed to be simple and easy for students, the stylish and intuitive user interface was well-received. With a mobile application and device support, and tools to increase student motivation and participation, student engagement increased, and students participated more with the ability to interact with the lessons at any time and place and on any device they chose for learning. ### Gamification Gamification was a popular topic of the discussion. There seemed to be unanimous agreement that one of the most engaging and impactful features of Qeducation is the site-wide gamification. Taking a proactive and intelligent learning approach, teachers are able to quickly make courses engaging, competitive, and fun by gaming them. Teachers have also quickly discovered how easy it is to build automation-based games where students can earn points and badges as rewards for completing goals during course activities. And the students are responding and trying to put their name atop the leaderboard. Team games with Qeducation were also reported to be highly effective in motivating students to participate in group learning activities. ### Cooperation and collaboration One of the most important features of Qeducation has been the ability to connect through community. Connection and community are crucial for effective digital learning, which is why communication was built into the platform. By prioritizing the ease of communication between teachers, students, and parents, as well as providing a safe means of collaboration and sharing, Qeducation creates a sense of belonging and support that is essential for learning success. Students and teachers also appreciated the variety of interactive tools such as chat rooms, forums, groups, blogs, and more. ### Assessment The accurate assessment of competency is crucial in competency-based learning as it ensures that students have truly mastered the required skills and knowledge. Qeducation allows students to create personalized learning paths and targeted interventions to support students in areas where they may be struggling. These assessments are leading to a more effective and efficient online learning experience for students improving overall learning outcomes: - Multiple question patterns up to 14 patterns - Mathematical and scientific equations - Assessment using Rubrics verbal rating scale - Assessments linked to learning outcomes so student proficiency can be analyzed - Dynamic in considering individual differences and student completion procedures for assessments - Protect tests with a password and close the browser - Detailed grade history and analysis of students performance ### Increased Motivation and Participation Increased motivation and participation means students are actively engaged and invested in their coursework. Both teachers and students are empowered by the ability to link and align lessons and assessments to learning outcomes. Factors leading to a more positive and productive learning experience included: - Motivating students by using gamification and integrating it with learning - Awarding points and badges, and maintaining leaderboards, creating printable motivational certificates - Awarding certificates upon completion of course or learning paths - Being able to more granularly analyze how students achieved learning outcomes ### Analysis and Reporting Without analysis and reporting, it’s difficult to glean valuable insights into the performance of students and the effectiveness of their learning resources. Qeducation allows teachers and administrators to analyze data on student behavior, performance, and progress, identify areas where students are struggling and adjust the curriculum accordingly. Reporting allows them to promote transparency and accountability, and ensure all the stakeholders are aware of progress through: - Centralized reports that display immediate information - Custom generated reports - Analytics that measure student progress ### Libraries of Digital Resources Qeducation provides teachers and students with three types of source libraries and digital content that are rich with quality content, easy to use, and accessible to all parties in the educational process. Teachers and students found the resource libraries intuitive and accessible to all parties in the education process. ### Qeducation extended to the private schools in Qatar During the workshop, and in collaboration with the MOEHE, CYPHER extended the Qeducation offering to the private schools in attendance, and many of those schools immediately joined. Subsequently, a group of new founding members was formed. In the second part of this blog series, we’ll announce and welcome those new members. In a third, final blog post we’ll talk recent recognition that MOEHE has received for educational excellence and innovation.

We live in an age where global issues that affect us all are pushing us to collaborate and to understand different perspectives. Shifting the paradigm to include a **global classroom curriculum** requires more than theory; it’s actually all practice. Students that take part in a [global virtual team](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Pawel_Bryla/publication/257380729_A_Global_Classroom_Evaluating_the_Effectiveness_of_Global_Virtual_Collaboration_as_a_Teaching_Tool_in_Management_Education/links/0f31752dd3a2f5a570000000.pdf) are more likely to develop their teamwork skills, reduce stereotyping and obtain **better learning outcomes** than their peers who don’t participate in a global project. Since exchanges are great and should be encouraged in schools, in reality, there could be so much more to gain from **online collaboration with another classroom**. Collaborating online allows your students to connect with their peers from all around the world...and that is just the beginning! Professor Jennifer V. Lock from the University of Calgary has developed a [four-item framework](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1475939X.2014.946957) to help teachers design authentic collaborative learning. Here are some ideas, based on her research: 1. ### Nature of inquiry Teachers can use the **inquiry-based learning** approach as a starting point for building the global collaboration project. The best topics arise from asking the right questions a “real life” significance, something that **students everywhere** can make sense of in their own lives, and that is tied to their communities. 2. ### Intentional integration of ICT/edtech Teachers have to assess the **resources and capacities** of both schools before starting a project. For example, you can use your school’s **learning management system**, which is a familiar tool for teachers around the world. For asynchronous collaboration, you can use groups and forums, and for synchronous learning, classrooms can engage in discussions through video conferencing. 3. ### Design and facilitation for collaboration Learning together with another classroom implies a high level of **responsibility and interdependence**. Serious consideration should be given to practical matters: access to tech, time zone difference, schedules, how to meet the common learning objectives or how to assess the performance of each classroom. 4. ### Intentionality of interaction All activities should be designed with **clear learning objectives** in mind and there needs to be a structure in place that requires students to collaborate as well as the opportunities to do so. **Successful interaction** allows students to learn from each other, participate in small and large group discussions, use a variety of media to work on a task, and help each other accomplish their learning goals.

August 23, 2022 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/author/cypher) 5 minutes read What do you see when you’re teaching? Some students follow you with interest, engage in discussions, and are eager to learn more. Others are passive listeners and don’t seem to be fully engaged. And some look like they’re just waiting for class time to end. What if there is a way to give each one of these students something tailored to their needs to boost their learning engagement? Modern edtech such as an[intelligent learning platform](/academia) (ILP) can help you achieve this by creating a personalized learning environment. Personalized learning is currently emerging as one of the biggest trends in education. Learn what it means, what benefits it brings, and what teachers need to create a personalized learning environment for students. ## What is personalized learning? If you’re looking for a definition of personalized learning in the Glossary of Educational Reform, you’ll learn that: Personalized learning means addressing the distinct learning needs of each student with the help of different instructional approaches, educational programs, and learning strategies and experiences. Simply put, personalized learning means adapting the learning experience to each student's individual needs, skills, and goals. It sounds improbable since there is only one teacher in the classroom and many students with different abilities, interests, etc. So, how can educational institutions offer a personalized learning environment for students without having to divide them into smaller groups based on their interests and level and get a separate teacher for each group? With the help of edtech, students to learn at their own pace and focus on their specific goals. Using edtech to [personalize education for students](/blog/k-20/using-edtech-to-personalize-education-for-all-students/) is already something that many educators do by incorporating technology in teaching activities, such as: - Learning management systems (LMSs) - Video conferencing tools - Video content and digital presentations - Online games and assessments - Digital field trips Moreover, even before the pandemic, educational institutions were eager to adopt edtech. According to a ipals, 97% of respondents said that their school was already using [some form of edtech](https://www.edweek.org/technology/what-is-personalized-learning/2019/11) to personalize learning. This is only the beginning of what can be a major change in education, thanks to the huge potential of edtech. While technology doesn’t aim to substitute teachers, it can facilitate their work and ensure that each student gets access to customized educational content and assessment methods to provide the best possible learning outcomes. What are the benefits of creating a personalized learning environment? Instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum, a personalized learning environment emphasizes: - Each student’s skills and interests - Students’ individual learning goals - Flexible teaching strategies and [adaptive learning](/blog/k-20/using-adaptive-learning-to-personalize-learning-experiences/) - Edtech for content and evaluation Personalized learning puts students at the center of the educational experience. They take ownership of their own learning and make decisions related to their goals. Among other things, this helps build sef-reliance, confidence and academic achievement. Personalized learning makes students more aware of their learning needs, abilities and helps them achieve their long-term goals. Thus, they can take early [steps toward their future career](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2019/10/03/15-essential-tips-for-college-students-preparing-for-their-future-careers/?sh=39e030ed6ec3) by focusing on their strong points and passions. ## Creating a personalized learning environment with an intelligent learning platform An ILP has various [features](/academia/features) that promote a personalized learning experience for all students. Here are the main ILP tools teachers can rely on to personalize learning in and beyond the classroom: ### 1. Competency-based learning Competency-based learning opens the door to a new, student-focused learning approach. It is a structured and gradual approach that ensures each student progresses through the curriculum at their own pace. ILPs offer different features that allow teachers to put competency-based learning concepts into practice. An ILP can understand learners’ strong and weak points. It will not only know a particular student is good at French grammar, for example. It will understand that the student excels at syntax while they still need a bit of extra help with the tenses. Based on the competencies teachers want to teach or assess, the system enables them to tag the course content accordingly. Each module and assessment can have associated competencies. For example, a French grammar course centered on future tenses can have the following competencies: - Recognize to form of future tenses in French - Know the usage differences between the tenses - Apply the future tense rules while conjugating verbs Once a student completes the class and its assessments, which are centered on these competencies, they acquire the necessary skills associated with the course’s competencies. So, the ILP can prompt them to the next level and suggest or give instant access to more advanced courses, such as the Conditionals in French or a French Tenses Overview module. Competency-based learning focuses on each student’s skills rather than the time they spend logged into the learning platform or in the classroom. Teachers can create as many individual competencies in the ILP as they want to. After tagging their content with the competencies, they will see how well their classes cover the necessary skills. The system displays user-friendly competency-related graphics. So, if a class seems to lack the competency it should teach, teachers can enhance it. The ILP can also automatically map a person’s strengths and weaknesses without teachers’ intervention with automated assessments such as [quizzes and other digital assignments](/blog/k-20/9-types-of-assignments/) that can help detect knowledge gaps and determine each student’s level. Read more: [How to make competency-based education possible through an intelligent learning platform](/blog/k-20/competency-based-education/) ### 2. Personalized learning recommendations An ILP mainly aims to build a personalized learning environment for each student by offering tailored content recommendations. This strategy has been deployed for years in other fields technology revolutionized, such as retail. Now, thanks to powerful and accurate algorithms, personalized recommendations are also available in the educational sphere. The more a student interacts with the system, the ILP gradually understands things them and provides more appropriate suggestions. ILPs also tailor their content recommendations based on learners’ goals. For example, a student who is passionate English literature and whose goal is to master modernism in literature can receive a variety of resource recommendations such as: - The school or university's internal literature courses - E-books, studies, and essays - Literature-related articles - Links to videos, movies, documentaries These will be adapted to the student’s level and specific literature interests, in this case, twentieth-century literature. This multitude of materials ensures that students access more information and more content formats. While some learners may prefer reading articles, others need more interactive course formats such as video and audio courses or [gamification](/blog/k-20/how-to-set-up-a-classroom-gamification-level-system/) to feel engaged. Therefore, students also get to choose the type of content they want to use for studying. Moreover, they are free to turn down specific content recommendations and only use those that align with their preferences. Plus, they can rate these recommendations to help their colleagues and teachers realize how relevant they are. ### 3. Learning goals and personalized paths A personalized learning environment also involves creating custom learning paths for students. These learning paths are tailored to each individual’s skills and goals. Learning paths enable students to acquire skills easier by providing a firm and tailor-made plan for each individual. These paths are sequences of educational content and assessments students must go through to learn new topics and acquire new skills. They comprise various educational resources. [An ILP helps build flexible personalized learning paths](/blog/k-20/the-role-of-the-lms-in-designing-personalized-learning-paths-for-students/) and allows both students and teachers to intervene in their creation by adding different goals or resources. A learning path can include the in-house courses the educational institution provides, as well as external resources, such as videos or courses from third parties (e.g. Udemy), and all sorts of assessments (quizzes, essays, etc). Once students start walking on their learning path, they will gradually progress by completing different classes, submitting assignments, and acquiring badges and certificates for their effort. Learning paths make it easier for teachers to create a personalized learning environment for students. Each student can access a personalized path based on their abilities and goals so they can master the necessary concepts more easily. ### 4. Learning analytics Besides personalized learning recommendations, ILPs also provide in-depth learning analytics and reports. These show the overall level of mastery students in a class reached to each student’s individual goals and how well they’ve covered them. Learning analytics can provide teachers with an accurate overview of how well their students progress on their learning paths. They also offer at-a-glance information course attendance, course completion rates, and grades. ILPs display learning data to ease teachers’ and school administrators’ work. [Reports](/blog/k-20/5-must-have-lms-reports-for-schools/) help educational institutions make sure that their efforts to personalize learning bring the expected results. Moreover, with the level of in-depth ILP analytics now provides, it’s also possible to detect at-risk learners. These are slower learners who are lagging behind their educational goals or those who have attendance issues. The system can spot and signal these users so that teachers can [close knowledge gaps](/blog/k-20/how-to-close-learning-gaps-with-the-help-of-an-intelligent-learning-platform/) effectively and prevent more serious problems such as school dropout. ## Key takeaways Creating a personalized learning environment for students is easier by using an intelligent learning platform. These systems incorporate all the necessary tools that enable teachers to provide content suited to each student’s needs and preferences. They include competency-based learning, personalized recommendations, learning goals, paths and analytics. Personalizing learning increases student engagement, empowers them to make their own learning-related decisions, and puts them on the right path for their future careers.

Well, your audience gets bored easily, no matter how old they are. That's why every online course you create needs some hooks to get their attention and keep if for enough time that they actually learn something. So check out the following 5 tips on how to create engaging online courses: 1. ### Make the content relevant to students Put your students’ learning needs at the base of each lesson. The purpose of a course should be to provide students with relevant content that is packed with **useful information**, it's **easy to understand**, and helps them **reach their learning goals**. 2. ### Make the content visually appealing An e-learning course should include a variety of elements that make it more visually appealing and keeps the students engaged. Make sure that the content is **easy to follow** and includes resources such as **pictures**, **videos**, and other **multimedia files**. 3. ### Use gamification No matter how serious the subject of a course is, don’t be afraid to gamify it. Students enjoy gamified elements such as **leaderboards**, earning **points**, and **badges** because they make the learning experience more enjoyable and drive participation. 4. ### Allow students to collaborate It's important for students to talk with each other they learn, exchange resources, and collaborate on projects. That's why class tools such as **groups**, **online chat rooms**, **forums**, **blogs**, and **wikis** are a great way for them to connect. 5. ### Use storytelling to captivate students Stories make anything more interesting and intriguing, so instead of plainly state an idea, try to weave in some storytelling. For students it's easier to remember the concepts they learn if they are wrapped up in **inspirational stories**. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

She found that **instructional designers tend to spend 70% of their time on WHAT they are going to teach, and only 30% of their time on HOW**, when the ratios should be altogether reversed. Her signature **ENGAGE model** is a great starting point for any learning initiative. This model can act as a very good blueprint for developing quality content that will make a difference for the modern learner. 1. ### Energize learners It's crucial to stir up interest by shedding some light on the topic, even before the training session takes place. At the start of the course, whether it is a classroom course or an e-learning module it is best to get the participants involved as soon as they walk in or click 'start'. 2. ### Navigate content All participants should feel as if the course was designed to include them. Incorporate as many varied activities and presentations as possible while also keeping a focus on repetition. Make it easy for everybody to follow the training materials and feel at ease in their learning experience. 3. ### Generate meaning Content needs to be closely intertwined with meaning and trainees must see the relevance of a subject and hopefully have enough 'aha' moments to drive them into action. If you manage to show just how and why it can make a difference in the their lives it's an easy ride from there. 4. ### Apply to the real world Making the shift from learning to doing is not easy. With modern L&D technology you can replicate actual situations and environments so that trainees can truly test the newly acquired information without fear of failure and with the constant possibility of a do-over. 5. ### Gauge and celebrate It is very important that people can assess how much they have learned. Celebrating achievement is necessary in order to activate that positive emotional response to learning. This final step of the actual learning intervention should be designed to be as interactive as possible. 6. ### Extend learning to action You should put in place some strategies that will drive employees to put learning into practice: email reminders, follow-up workshops and so on. Setting up virtual spaces where people can share experience and ask for help is also a good way of extending learning into action. **Resources** - [The secret sauce to training success: the ENGAGE Model](/blog/business/the-secret-sauce-to-training-success-the-engage-model/) - [Vicki Halsey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicki-halsey-5a32825/) - [Brilliance by Design: Creating Learning Experiences That Connect, Inspire, and Engage](https://www.amazon.com/Brilliance-Design-Creating-Learning-Experiences/dp/1605094226/) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

Microlearning has moved beyond buzzword status. It’s now a go-to strategy for delivering training that actually sticks. In both corporate and educational settings, organizations are embracing microlearning as a more efficient, learner-friendly way to teach. Here’s why it’s gaining traction: - Better knowledge retention: Learners are more likely to remember small, focused pieces of information. Compared to traditional learning methods, delivering content through microlearning increases [retention and engagement by up to 50%](https://www.engageli.com/blog/20-microlearning-statistics-in-2025). - **Faster course creation**: Easier for educators and trainers to build and update content. - **Just-in-time learning**: Employees can find what they need, when they need it. - **Scalability**: Microlearning is often easier to deploy across teams, departments, or classrooms of any size.

Start by personalizing the learning path. When training adapts to each person’s role, skill level, or knowledge gaps, learners are more likely to stay engaged and actually retain what they’ve learned. Think short, targeted modules that give people exactly what they need. Next, make it interactive. [Gamified microlearning tools](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification) include quizzes, real-life scenarios, and even gamified challenges that turn passive learning into active participation—keeping learners engaged despite their busy schedules. These elements boost engagement and help learners apply what they’ve learned in real-world situations. Finally, use real time analytics and feedback to improve. With real-time data on how people are progressing, you can spot trends, adjust your existing content or training, and keep everything aligned with your business goals. When done right, microlearning isn’t just efficient—it’s memorable, flexible, and built for the way people actually learn. ## Microlearning software: the tools you need at the right time Choosing the right microlearning software helps organizations create and deliver high-quality, focused lessons that resonate with modern learners.  ⭐ The takeaway: The best microlearning platforms provide robust content creation tools, allowing trainers to develop bite-sized training modules that are easy to consume and highly effective.

At some point in the story, Dorothy sets off to find the famous Wizard of Oz and her journey begins with a first step on the Yellow Brick Road. She follows the road, makes some stops, encounters some friends along the way, and eventually arrives at her final destination. At the end of the story, both Dorothy and her companions achieve their individual goals, and the Yellow Brick Road played an essential part in that outcome. Leaving behind the land of children's stories and stepping into the real world, the one where children go to school (literally, or just open their computers), do their work, or engage in extracurricular activities, one must agree on two things: 1. Learning is a journey, and the journey is as important as the end of it (the learning goal), and 2. The Yellow Brick Road is the perfect metaphor for each student's learning path until they finish school. ## Why each student needs a personalized learning path Learning has been on the lips of many educators across the world in recent years. The education system may have been invented for the benefit of students (and societies, by extension), but it was designed based on the teacher's needs. While nobody argues that teachers’ roles have become less important — they didn't — the focus has shifted on the needs of the student. Meeting students' learning needs is a sound strategy for a better education. And the best way to do that is to personalize their learning journeys. No matter if we're talking kindergarten students, primary school students, and all the way to high school students, personalized learning gets the best results. When a student gets the right information at the right time, receives support when needed and in the right form, exerting some degree of agency over the learning process, they retain new information better, are more engaged in learning activities, and overall perform better. Therefore, each student must be on their own yellow brick road to achieve their learning goals. ## How edtech supports educators in creating personalized learning paths Designing truly personalized learning paths for each student is a challenging endeavor. Starting from the sheer number of students compared to that of teachers, the different grades, subjects, and classrooms, and moving on to the sheer number of student learning needs, educators need all the help they can get. A lot of that help comes in the form of education technology. Here are a few ways in which edtech supports educators in their massive task of creating personalized learning paths for each of their students: **Ownership of learning.** Students learn and process information in different ways. That’s why they need to be involved (more or less, depending on their capabilities) in designing their learning path. If they’re involved, they feel like they own it. Collaborative technology is a significant first step in including student input into the learning path design phase. **Individual milestones.** It’s easier to keep students engaged if they can take a break or two along their way, look behind and see how far they've got, or plan their learning journey further. Gamification features (leaderboards, badges, trophies, and the like) of various edtech can help teachers add personalized stops on the learning path. **Instant feedback.** Every student needs reassurance that they’re on the right track. Educators can offer proper and constructive feedback through school chatrooms, messaging apps, emails, and even audio or video recordings. And the best part is that the student can find that feedback online and review it as many times as they need to. **Progress tracking.** To keep students motivated to continue their learning journey, they need to know at any moment where they are on it. The new online learning technologies, with learning management systems leading the way, allow educators to better monitor their progress and adapt the instruction further. ## All in all Designing [personalized learning paths](/tour/ui-and-ux) for students is still a work in progress, with so many variables that affect the degree of personalization. As education technologies develop in this direction, educators will be able to improve their work further and achieve better results — all for the benefit of the students.

Adapting to this model requires careful planning, flexibility, and a willingness to embrace new technologies. Here's how educators can embark on their hybrid teaching journey, equipped with updated strategies and tools. ## Understand the hybrid teaching model **Updated insight:** Hybrid teaching now goes beyond merely combining online and face-to-face instruction. It involves creating a cohesive learning experience where each component complements the other, enhancing the overall educational journey. Familiarize yourself with the latest hybrid teaching practices, including flipped classrooms and project-based learning, which can be integrated into your hybrid model. ## Select the right technology tools **Contemporary approach:** Choose technology tools that support synchronous and asynchronous learning while being accessible and user-friendly. Explore the latest in LMS platforms, video conferencing tools, and digital collaboration spaces that offer robust features for interactive learning, such as breakout rooms, polling, and real-time feedback. Prioritize platforms that ensure data privacy and security for all users. ## Design your course with flexibility in mind **Enhanced strategy:** Design your course to accommodate both in-person and online modalities seamlessly. Use a modular approach, where content is divided into smaller, manageable segments that can be easily accessed and understood in any format. Incorporate diverse multimedia resources, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive simulations, to cater to different learning styles and preferences. ## Foster engagement and interaction **Innovative use:** Engagement is key in a hybrid setting. Employ interactive tools and techniques to foster a sense of community among students, regardless of their physical location. Encourage participation through online discussions, peer reviews, and group projects that require collaboration across modalities. Gamification elements can also add a layer of excitement and motivation to the learning process. ## Provide support and training **Key consideration:** Both educators and students may need support in adjusting to the hybrid model. Offer training sessions on how to use technology tools effectively and create resources, such as tutorials and FAQs, to assist with common technical issues. Establish clear channels for communication and feedback, ensuring that support is readily available when needed. ## Implement and Iterate **Start small:** Begin with a pilot program or a single hybrid class to refine your approach before expanding. **Gather feedback:** Regular feedback from students will be invaluable in assessing the effectiveness of your hybrid teaching strategy. Use surveys, discussions, and direct observations to gather insights. **Adapt and improve:** Be prepared to make adjustments based on feedback and evolving educational technologies. Continuous improvement will be key to success in hybrid teaching. ## Embracing the future of education with hybrid teaching Hybrid teaching represents a forward-thinking approach to education, offering a balanced, flexible, and inclusive learning environment. By understanding the foundational principles, selecting the right tools, designing flexible courses, and fostering engagement, educators can successfully navigate the transition to hybrid teaching. As the educational landscape continues to evolve, hybrid teaching will remain a vital strategy in meeting the diverse needs of students and preparing them for the future.

What’s the connection between ATMs and online courses? They both **run on automation!** Think of it like a machine: it **does the tedious work for you**, so you get to concentrate on creating courses. As long as you set up an automated course flow beforehand, there’s no need for you to be always available. Here’s how advanced **instructors automate courses**, from the moment learners sign in to completion: 1. ### Build the course automation flow Decide which actions to automate from the start with the course automation flow. For example, when learners enroll in a course, create **a custom notification** to welcome them. When they’re inactive for 30 days, you can **automatically unenroll them**. Plan your flow with the help of a spreadsheet, or **add rules directly to your platform**. 2. ### Adding rules Rules are the commands you give to the system to **trigger certain events** once an action happens. They usually follow the “If the learner does this, then X happens” formula. For example, if learners pass a quiz, they automatically receive 10 points. Rules are **part of your platform**, so usually, all you have to do is select them from a list. 3. ### Mapping out your rules Some of the best practices for adding rules are **giving badges for progress** (don’t make it too easy to gain one) and **adding rules to the entire course as well as subsections** such as lessons and quizzes. Besides, you can **send custom notifications to encourage learners** to make progress. Most of all: **don’t add too many rules** per item as less is more! 4. ### Testing the final result Experiencing your course as a learner is **seeing the navigation process** through their eyes. Maybe you’ve added rules that are too strict, such as locking a module when learners finish it, or made the course game to be too easy. That’s why **creating a learner account** and taking it for a “test drive” during or after adding rules ensures that everything works smoothly.

They need to be lifelong learners themselves. However, providing them with the necessary paths and materials to facilitate professional development is no easy task.Are you struggling to… Help teachers set career goals and seamlessly track the skills needed to reach them Quickly create engaging and individualized courses for teachers’ career development needs Deliver consistent and scalable professional development programs Develop efficient tracking of professional development progress and certification Incorporate collaborative and human-connected learning and networking for teachers to network with colleagues in a professional development context ## Why professional development for teachers is essential Teacher professional development (PD) is crucial for skill enhancement and adapting to new teaching styles and strategies. As public awareness and acknowledgement of neurodiversity increases, we’re developing more effective ways to engage neurodiverse learners and help them excel. Lifelong learning is pivotal for educators to stay updated on the latest educational strategies to better serve students and themselves. This improves teaching quality and potential earnings. Policymakers recognize PD as crucial for imparting the complex skills required in the 21st century. However, successful PD goes beyond initial training. Teachers need ongoing support and help refining their teaching methods. By focusing on specific curriculum content, collaboration, effective practice models, targeted feedback, and coaching, we can build a better equipped team of teachers and, in turn, students.  Teachers often lack time to learn skills outside of teaching hours or encounter PD courses that don't align with their interests or professional goals. To effectively integrate technology into classrooms, PD courses should equip teachers with digital literacy and emphasize technology's value for boosting student performance. **Instructional Technology Coaching** (ITC) is a prevalent PD method. It empowers teachers to integrate technology effectively into both curriculum and instruction. **Professional Learning Communities** (PLCs) foster collaborative learning, providing teachers with ongoing support, resources, and opportunities to improve teaching practices.  Utilizing a modern learning platform, like CYPHER, for PD enables districts to offer comprehensive training, enhance collaboration among teachers, and streamline certification programs, leveraging the same platform used for student learning and reducing the need for extra investment in resources.  The CYPHER platform offers diverse features, including customizable class delivery styles, mastery tracking, learning paths, and certificates of completion, ensuring effective and engaging PD tailored to teachers' needs. ## Award-winning platform for education In the past year, we’ve received **over two dozen awards** for our innovative learning technology, including **Forbes Advisor’s** “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “**Best LMS**.” We’ve also received recognition for our work in academia, earning the title of “Best K-12 Remote Learning Partner” in the **SIIA CODiE 2022 Awards** and numerous other awards.

From construction to aviation to criminal justice, the potential options are endless – more importantly, the available opportunities and earning potential are becoming increasingly attractive. 68.2% of graduates who attended trade school secured work in their fields of study, compared with 57.5% of graduates with an academic degree ([Gitnux](https://blog.gitnux.com/trade-school-statistics/)). The popularity of trade and specialty schools has administrators looking to elevate the learner experience and drive mastery-level coursework proficiency. To meet this demand, they need a modern learning platform that's tailored for scalable, personalized, and competency-based learning. Leveraging the power of generative AI and gamification, CYPHER empowers educators to create engaging and collaborative courses, helping to effectively prepare students for success in a post-graduate environment. **Did you know?**According to a report from The National Student Clearinghouse, enrollment in technical and trade schools is on the rise. From 2021 to 2022, enrollment in construction trades grew by 19%. Meanwhile, four-year universities saw a nearly 4% drop in enrollment in the same time period.

For example, budding air traffic controllers can’t simply click through course material and then move right into practice. They need to prove mastery of the coursework. This is a challenge with traditional learning management systems, which assume every student learns the same way and then usher them through to course completion. Making matters worse, these systems don’t give educators the tools and flexibility to create and deliver courses that map to what each individual student needs or engage them in ways that motivate and inspire. CYPHER is revolutionizing the way educators build and administer curriculums and courses. Trade and specialty schools use the CYPHER platform to empower their staff to deliver effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content and advanced analytics – all geared toward helping students achieve mastery-level proficiency in their degree programs and ready themselves for the future. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t adapt to the student’s progress Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure students understand and can prove mastery-level knowledge of each subject before they move on You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allow you to create and update courses faster Rigid, static content formats that leave students bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive engagement and retention of the subject at even the deepest level of detail Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics, empowering you to track student progress, identify gaps in their knowledge and flag opportunities for improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut course creation to minutes - allowing you to update and disseminate information just in time Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific subjects help you understand what the learner knows or doesn’t know Minimal collaboration and connection Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate peer discussions and group exercises and help drive student comprehension and mastery of a given subject ## A modern learning platform for fostering a powerhouse workforce See how CYPHER can help you deliver personalized courses and content, at scale: ### Create personalized courses fast #### INTERACTIVE CLASSES With CYPHER, course creation is quick and simple.

Although, the school has the best junior military program in Puerto Rico, they wanted to change the scope to a more technology learning-based institution. During the past 3 years, Adler School has been transformed from a book-based to a technology-based teaching school. “We strongly believe that learning should not stop after the class bell rings, but it should continue while the student is on the move.” Dr. Oscar Vázquez Meléndez (Chief Learning Architect) INDUSTRY K-12 COUNTRY Puerto Rico Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Adopting a standard-based curriculum mandated by the Department of Education of Puerto Rico, requiring an LMS capable of supporting and supervising teaching by these standards - Designing a curriculum structure around Units, Weeks, and Days to meet educational standards while ensuring mobility and portability for students - Creating a learning community involving students, parents, teachers, and administrators to support continuous learning inside and outside the classroom At the beginning of the 2015 academic year, we adopted a standard-based curriculum as outlined by the Department of Education of Puerto Rico. Our goal is to be a model for, not only private but public school systems, to teach and comply with the learning standards of the Department of Education of Puerto Rico. The school's transformation and goals required a Learning Management System that could accomplish some key aspects: - The LMS needed to support a standard-based learning curriculum; - The LMS could allow the school staff to supervise that teachers were teaching by the standards; - The LMS could portray that students were learning/meeting each of the standards taught; - The school could design the curriculum around Units, Weeks, and Days to meet the standards; - The LMS could allow them to put the "classroom in the hands of the students", giving the students the mobility and portability that they needed. We strongly believe that learning should not stop after the class bell rings, but it should continue while the student is on the move. We wanted to create a learning community made of students, teachers, parents and administrators, all working together to help and support each of our students, in and outside of the classroom. ## The solution Prior to CYPHER Learning® we tried other LMSs without success, but none offered a complete solution or the flexibility that would meet our transformation requirements. We tried eCollege and Fronter by Pearson, Sakai, Dokeos, Moodle, CourseSites by Blackboard, considered Schoology for an adoption, and countless open-source options. We even coded our own version. Again, none of them came close to meeting our list of requirements. I personally knew CYPHER when it was still EDU 2.0 while doing my research for a previous eLearning project. Since those days, CYPHER began offering the right tools needed to create the learning environment that we had been wanting to build for the past 20 years. We were able to create a space that allowed us to measure the learning accountability as a result of teachers activity and students proving that they were mastering the concepts taught. We were also able to build a curriculum design around Units, Weeks and Days that complied with the standards. CYPHER allows our administrators to review teacher performance though the use of analytics and other reports. We have created a learning community involving students, parents, teachers and administrators. Students can connect from anywhere with any device making their learning experience totally portable and mobile. “We were able to create a space that allowed us to measure the learning accountability as a result of teachers activity and students proving that they were mastering the concepts taught.” Dr. Oscar Vázquez Meléndez (Chief Learning Architect) ## The results - Parents appreciate the ability to receive immediate emails from students via mobile devices, fostering a sense of security and enabling quick responses to student concerns - Teachers are embracing the platform better than anticipated, with ongoing training for parents contributing to its successful implementation - CYPHER's support staff promptly addresses requests for improvements and additional tools, offering a range of possibilities to enhance the learning experience and meet the school's evolving needs One of the features that made a very positive impression on our parents is that students can email them via their mobile devices with any concern and parents can respond immediately, offering a sense of security. Teachers are adapting to the use of the platform better than expected. We are training our parents on how to use the platform to help their students and so far is going great! CYPHER offers many possibilities to add other tools to their extensive feature set. While other LMSs would respond to requests very slowly or not at all, CYPHER allows us to make suggestions and recommendations for improvements and adoption. The support staff is very prompt and responsive and helpful to all of our requests. “Teachers are adapting to the use of the platform better than expected. We are training our parents on how to use the platform to help their students and so far is going great!” Dr. Oscar Vázquez Meléndez (Chief Learning Architect) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

The existing LMS was rigid and outdated, offering limited interactivity and no support for personalized learning. Faculty struggled with cumbersome course creation, lacking the ability to quickly update content with relevant materials from trusted sources. Additionally, resistance to AI adoption from leadership and faculty created further challenges. Many educators feared that AI-powered automation would diminish instructional quality or reduce control over teaching methodologies. The absence of a clear framework for AI integration made it difficult to keep up with evolving educational demands and technological advancements. “There was general reluctance to adopt AI-powered solutions and interact with them. Some believed that these technologies could lead to a loss of control or negatively impact the quality of education, making it difficult to keep up with the fast-paced developments in technology.” Faiza Al Jabri, Director of Information Technology ## The solution - CYPHER Agent features streamline course creation and delivery - Seamless integration with existing academic systems - Structured approach to AI adoption through training and intuitive tools Since adopting CYPHER, UTAS has transformed its learning processes, making education more engaging, interactive, and efficient. CYPHER Agent significantly reduced the time required for course creation and content updates, allowing faculty to focus on delivering high-quality instruction rather than manual administrative tasks. One of the most impactful factors in overcoming AI resistance was the intuitive, user-friendly interface. **Faculty members quickly adapted to the platform, realizing that AI was not replacing their expertise but enhancing their ability to personalize learning**. Training sessions demonstrated how AI could support educators, leading to increased confidence and adoption. Additionally, CYPHER integrated seamlessly with UTAS’s existing academic systems, reducing disruptions and allowing faculty to continue using familiar tools while benefiting from AI-powered enhancements. **This incremental approach to AI adoption helped faculty gradually embrace automation without feeling overwhelmed**. “CYPHER has accelerated UTAS digital transformation, offering a seamless and interactive learning experience that boosts engagement, and empowers both students and instructors through its AI capabilities.” Faiza Al Jabri, Director of Information Technology ## The results - Enhanced user experience with easy-to-use interface - Flexible, personalized content delivery - Dynamic training meets the diverse needs of the academic community With CYPHER, UTAS has elevated its approach to education, making learning more adaptive, engaging, and scalable. Faculty now have the tools to deliver interactive courses, track student progress efficiently, and standardize educational programs across departments. By introducing competency-based learning and AI-powered customization, UTAS ensures that course content aligns with specific skills and industry needs, making education more relevant for students. Additionally, self-paced learning and remote accessibility have improved flexibility, allowing students to learn on their own schedules without compromising academic rigor.

I understand the business model, but it would be nice to have a 'no worries package'." ### 2. Complex user interface for admins While the end users have good experiences, admins often struggle with the lack of an intuitive interface when navigating the abundance of customization options and features in the platform’s backend. Many users reported needing to involve a tech specialist. “The great customization means you need to understand the product very well to make the right decision in terms of design and functionalities,” wrote one [user on G2](https://www.g2.com/products/docebo/reviews/docebo-review-8254414). ### 3. Difficult compliance training Many organizations utilize their LMS as an easy way to automate local, state, and federal compliance certification. Effective knowledge sharing is crucial for onboarding and upskilling, and many organizations utilize their LMS to facilitate this process. Docebo does offer this feature, but users report that it is a confusing process to both set-up and navigate. “The current setup for managing yearly compliance training is very clunky. You have to use two separate functions… this causes confusion for the end user,” says one [G2 review](https://www.g2.com/products/docebo/reviews/docebo-review-9411770). ### 4. Reporting and analytics issues A robust reporting system is essential for tracking learner progress effectively. Admins cite limitations in Docebo's reporting features, seeking solutions that offer more comprehensive or easier to utilize analytics. A [G2 reviewer](https://www.g2.com/products/docebo/reviews/docebo-review-4450312) wrote, "Reporting capabilities can be cumbersome to use in order to get easy results." ## Why CYPHER is the best Docebo alternative [CYPHER](https://www.cypherlearning.com/) offers a plethora of features that distinguish it as a premier alternative to Docebo, including an intuitive interface that simplifies the navigation and onboarding process for both administrators and learners.  CYPHER also provides advanced analytics that allow organizations to gain deeper insights into learner engagement and performance, enabling targeted improvements in training strategy.

Organizations know this, and yours makes no exception. Or does it? Communication problems in the workplace are a lot more common than you think. [Seventy-four percent of employees](https://teamstage.io/communication-in-the-workplace-statistics/#:~:text=Nearly%2070%25%20of%20the%20workforce,felt%20appreciated%20by%20their%20employers.) feel they are missing out on news and information, and 86% blame company failures on poor communication. Furthermore, 96% of people would like a more empathetic approach to communication in the workplace, while almost 40% of the workforce feel like there isn't any productive conversation between them and the company. In this article, we will explore the most common examples of communication problems in the workplace and their solutions. ## How can you identify communication problems in the workplace? The statistics are staggering, but you may be wondering how to spot inefficient communication in your company. There are several warning signs, such as: - **Procedures are hardly ever followed.** If you find that employees do things their own way instead of following the company processes, it means that there is a major communication problem; - **Employees don't know the company's mission or values.** If a short and fun quiz reveals that the company's mission and values are a mystery to them, it's time to work on your internal communication and culture; - **Tasks are repeated.** When you have several people (or teams) working on the same thing (unaware of each other) it’s a waste of resources, and there's no clear task division; - **Various departments complain low response rates to their requests.** This is usually the case with HR and IT when they need to migrate services or get everyone’s opinion a certain topic. They send emails, set reminders, and still fail to reach the bulk of employees; - **Few employees show up at company events.** You know it’s a workforce communication problem when people don’t come to the fun events. A simple announcement is not enough, and even having RSVPs is not a sure thing – you need reminders and incentives. ## The most common communication problems in the workplace and their solutions Looking at the list above, you’ve probably identified the symptoms that are present in your company. Now you’re wondering what causes them and how you can fix or prevent them. Here are the most common communication problems in the workplace: ### 1. Communication barriers This is a vast subject explored by several fields such as linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology. However, there are some communication barriers that are most likely to cause problems in the workplace: - **Language barriers** appear in global organizations where employees speak several languages. Even if there is one official language that everyone uses, there will be differences in proficiency, and translations will often fail to convey nuanced meanings. However, there are differences in vocabulary even between people speaking the same language in various regions of the world. **What to do it:** encourage employees to use concise language and avoid metaphors or figurative speech. Provide training and resources on industry-specific terminology and include language courses in your corporate learning strategy. - **The intensive use of jargon** is often a reason for defective communication. In theory, jargon terminology facilitates communication by simplifying concepts. However, this only works when everyone is in the know. If they don't, it leads to misunderstandings or confusion. **What to do it:** provide training and resources for employees to become familiar with the jargon in your industry. Cultivate a learning culture in which all individuals feel safe to ask questions when something is unclear. There are instances when [jargon is unavoidable](https://websavvymarketers.com/2014/06/dont-let-jargon-be-a-communication-barrier/#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20biggest%20communication,aware%20of%20the%20word's%20meaning.), but try to use it sparingly for the most part. - **Physical barriers** have become very common with the rise of hybrid and remote work. Not seeing a person's facial expressions takes a lot from the message, and misunderstandings can often occur. **What to do it:** make sure the communication technology you use is up-to-date and encourage employees to use the video option, especially in one-to-one and small group meetings. Provide office space for those who prefer to work or hold some of their meetings in person. - **Cultural barriers** arise from a difference in norms and values. If they are not addressed, they lead to stereotyping and ostracization, both very harmful to a healthy working environment. **What to do it:** provide sensitivity training and immediately mediate any issues arising from cultural differences. Make sure the internal communication rules are clear and provide a comprehensive guide that also stresses the company's values – adhering to these will bring people closer by giving them something they have in common. - **Organizational barriers** appear when employees don’t know how the company works and its processes. You see this when they fail to share important information and stumble when they have to ask for help to complete their projects. **What to do it:** create a clear organizational structure, emphasizing various points of . Include this in your onboarding program and promptly announce any modifications. If you find that one particular issue keeps coming up, have a company-wide refresh training to clarify it. ### 2. The wrong technology Having the right communication tools is integral to company success. First, you need a communication solution that works best in your environment. For example, suppose you have a global workforce scattered across various time zones. In that case, you'll need technology to help you curate the exchanged information so that employees from different parts of the world don't waste too much time sifting through emails and channels figuring out what is essential and what they can overlook. **What to do it:** make sure your [communication tools](https://connecteam.com/best-team-communication-apps/) are what teams and individuals need to do their job with minimal interruptions. Furthermore, harness the value of your company’s [learning management system](/business) (LMS) for internal communication. Employees often need help on projects they can’t tackle alone, and these on-the-job learning opportunities shouldn't be missed. They can tap into the LMS resources and then collaborate using the advanced communication features. Using the LMS to work in groups, ask questions in a chat room, or reach out to mentors is easy. ### 3. Assumptions and misinterpretations These are very frequent because people sometimes assume that others think as they do. It’s also common for employees to overlook possible differences in information levels and get frustrated when others don’t seem to be as effective as they are. If everyone is not on the same page on a project, there will be more friction than actual results. Some companies are actively trying to uncover and overcome bias in the workplace, but even in those environments, miscommunication happens. **What to do it****:** set clear parameters for every project. It’s important for everyone to know exactly what to do and what the desired outcomes are. Furthermore, don’t rely solely on what is communicated at the start of a project. Hold regular meetings and encourage employees to reach out whenever they need to. Use paraphrasing and feedback as usual techniques in your internal discussions.

Information overload Information overload has employees struggling to do their job and keep a healthy work-life balance. [Twenty-six percent of people want to delete all their emails](https://hbr.org/2009/09/death-by-information-overload) and start over. Moreover, employees visit an average of 40 websites daily. The workforce is overwhelmed by the amount of information they have to deal with on a daily basis. Productivity suffers as 85% of work emails are opened within two minutes, and these interruptions eat up 28% of the workday. This takes a toll on the employees’ state of mind and subsequently on their motivation to perform well. With the skyrocketing turnover rates of the past two years, that’s not an extra issue you want to have. **What to do it:** deleting everyone's inboxes and starting fresh is not an option, appealing as that may sound to some. I have discussed some solutions to this workplace communication problem above: make sure you have the right communication tools and make the most of your company LMS to facilitate learning and collaboration. Furthermore, change the way you communicate within the company. Employees model what comes from the top, so if their inboxes and groups are constantly flooded, they will perpetuate that pattern. Have a [healthy internal communication strategy](https://sprigghr.com/blog/hr-professionals/10-internal-communications-best-practices/) and always keep channels open to feedback. ### 5. Lack of psychological safety A big part of workplace communication is information sharing. However, not all employees feel comfortable speaking up, expressing opinions, and telling others what they have learned. This is a big issue, especially in today’s high-demand context. Employees sometimes fear that speaking up will have unwanted consequences, or if they show extra interest, they will be automatically saddled with a larger workload. Feeling unsafe in the workplace is a real barrier to effective communication and is very detrimental to organizational culture and business results. **What to do it:** psychological safety in the workplace entails building a climate in which people feel comfortable both being and expressing themselves. Allow time in your meetings for people to connect and make small talk. Ask your managers to have regular one on ones with their team members to discuss any issues they may have. Be as transparent as possible what is going on in the organization and explain C-suite decisions in a straightforward way. You need your employees to trust their leaders and each other, and feel free to share information and ask for help or clarifications. In doing so, you avoid a great number of communication problems in the workplace.

Poor communication in the workplace can cause many issues, from missed deadlines and squandering of resources to employee frustration and loss of motivation. You need to identify the workplace communication problems that are specific to your company and find the best solutions to fix them. Be mindful of the technology you use and how well it meets organizational needs, make the most of the social features of your LMS and build a communication culture focused on the essential to avoid information overload.

Learning and Development professionals now have infinite scalability for content development while keeping the content highly personalized for a multitude of learning audiences. What used to be a time intensive and expensive process for even the largest L&D team, content development can now be reduced to a matter of minutes and be generated by anyone. But with all technological breakthroughs, there are uncertainties. With this level of firepower, how do we govern content development? Most generative AI content creation platforms have a wide-open throttle with no filters or checks and balances. How do we ensure that we are creating content that is appropriate for our learning audiences and will generate the outcomes we are expecting? According to recent research by Brandon Hall Group™, 79% of organizations feel, in the digital age, the use of this type of technology is unavoidable. However, 70% reported that they do not have the right skillset and will need to develop the skillset to ensure ChatGPT-generated content is accurate, reliable, legally sound and can be differentiated from human-generated content. How do we make sure this once-in-a-lifetime technology is a friendly addition to our Learning organization? We need to look carefully at our technology choices to determine if they provide a balance between unlimited content development capabilities and a framework or structure to mold the content into a usable and approved format. The ideal technology will not only help content developers create content but also properly guide them in its creation. We need technology to be our partner in the content creation process. Many technology providers have jumped on the generative AI bandwagon, touting their newly developed capabilities to clients and prospects. Many promises are being made by providers regarding what their version of generative AI will deliver. It seems like everywhere Learning and Development teams turn they are being bombarded with generative AI. How do these teams make the right decision? What criteria should be used to evaluate a provider’s claims? The generative AI market in learning technology is quickly becoming crowded and noisy.

Though many learning platforms claim to deliver what businesses and academia want and need, they’ve failed to deliver on that promise. Outdated, complex, and clunky platforms make learning feel like a chore. An obligation. A tick-the-box requirement on the task list. Businesses and academic institutions alike desire and demand modern, holistic learning - to keep competitive, entertained, and ready for what’s ahead. Our vision is to power billions of learning moments every day. ## Just in time. Just for you. Just the way you want to learn. Learning goes **beyond the classroom**, conference room, and living room. It is no longer bound by time, either. Learning is continuous, spontaneous, and all around us. Technology has catapulted the way we learn into an exciting and unprecedented state. HR pros, L&D pros, trainers, educators, managers, cross-functional teams, and course creators must figure out how to thrive in this new order.  To be successful, learning must be dynamic, **personalized** and **human-centric**. ### 2023+ Human-centric1: 1 Dynamic and personalized content is proactively delivered to learners through platform-wide automation. With AI-powered technology, learning scales exponentially - giving everyone more time and more energy to focus on the creative and human-centric parts of learning. This is how we help trainers, L&D pros, HR pros, managers, educators - everyone - unleash human potential. ### 2017 Instructor then learner-centric1: many Platforms empower L&D teams and educators to create courses and content.

We’re focused on bringing innovation into training activities by adding cutting-edge features such as adaptive learning and personalized competency-based learning. Find out how CYPHER can help you innovate your training programs: 1. ### Course Catalog Showcase your courses to learners using the course catalog. This feature is fully customizable and shows available items organized into categories and subcategories. Each course has its own overview page with important details such as the course description and price. The catalog has a search function and featured items to make navigation easier. 2. ### Competency-based learning Make sure course content is compliant with the competencies you want to teach and assess. Instructors can build competencies and align them with content and assessments, and even tag individual questions from question banks with competencies. They can also see mastery levels for all learners using the mastery grid and generate reports to track learner performance. 3. ### E-commerce Our platform offers all the e-commerce tools you need to sell online courses, learning paths, digital media items, and more. We integrate with the most popular payment gateways, such as PayPal, Stripe, and PayU Latam, and also support multiple currencies. Companies can keep track of orders and run reports on general and detailed sales. You can also divide revenue by Organizations, include taxes in the prices, and customize the shopping experience. 4. ### Affiliates Sign up affiliates who can earn commissions by advertising your courses via their unique affiliate referral link. This feature allows you to create affiliate accounts and run reports on affiliates. For each visitor converted to user, the Affiliate will receive a commission set by the system administrator as a percentage of the purchased amount. The affiliate receives the commission via PayPal. 5. ### Adaptive learning Dynamically personalize modules, assessments, and learning paths with the adaptive learning feature. You can hide and show content based on each learner’s performance. For example, an instructor can hide basic content and show only the more advanced modules to the learners that took a high score on a quiz. It makes evaluating performance easier and enriches the training experience. 6. ### Per-organization portals Your CYPHER website can host separate organizations representing each department, company branch, or external clients. For example, the HR department has its own portal, complete with its own administrators, learners, courses, and more. You can also customize organizations with their own brand, and URL. For a detailed overview, generate reports and statistics for each organization. 7. ### Monitoring Administrators can moderate communications using the monitoring feature. You can also receive alerts potentially offensive words. Learners are notified that their communications are being monitored. You have access to the message, post and chat summaries, plus the communication transcriptions. Instructors also have access to this feature, but can only monitor their learners. 8. ### Proctor By using the Proctor feature, you can restrict learners’ access to assessments. There are three types of restrictions: learners can only access the assessment when it is time for the assessment to begin; they can access it through an access code; or only see the assessment from a specific IP address. 9. ### Reports and dashboards Stay informed by creating charts and reports of important data such as module progress, course status, course completion, and more. CYPHER also offers custom reports on users, certificates, courses, sales orders and more. Administrators can track important areas through real-time dashboards with separate widgets for courses, learners, e-commerce, enrollments, and more. Dashboards are also available for courses, providing the same detailed and visual view for the instructor. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

According to a Gartner report, stress, disengagement, and poor grades are the most cited reasons why students drop out, and they offer CIO the following three recommendations to leverage LMS and improve student retention: - Create a consistent course navigation experience - Propagating the course syllabus - Promote the use of the LMS grade book For those with legacy LMS systems, the Gartner recommendations might make sense, but they don’t include the considerations for the capabilities of a modern learning platform. If you have a legacy learning system, we encourage you to read on to see the capabilities that are being overlooked. ## Create a consistent course navigation experience Engaging modern students requires a lot more effort than simply providing course templates with a consistent look and feel. The real question is why have we set such a low standard for LMSs? And the answer is that postsecondary institutions don’t give much credence to the difference that an engaging user interface makes. As a result, mainstream LMS providers are comfortable staging with the status quo and don’t feel any pressure to step up their game. A good example of this is an overwhelming tendency to rely on text-based user interfaces, and ignoring everything that we know designing a good user experience.Instead of ignoring this problem, the CYPHER modern learning platform enables institutions to provide a consistent and engaging learning environment from beginning to end, and not just for courses. This keeps students engaged through visual dashboards that they use to find all the required course-related information. It's important that CIOs prioritize the navigation experience as a basic requirement that every LMS should have and find solutions that engage and delight students. ## Propagate the course syllabus for disengaged student identification Not accessing the course or failing to read the course syllabus is a typical early sign of student disengagement, but unfortunately, propagating the syllabus and waiting to see who clicks or doesn’t click on it isn’t enough to solve this complex issue. The problem is that instead of proactively identifying issues sooner and being able to anticipate that some students may require more support than others, most institutions are reactive. For example, generating reports early in the semester and identifying at-risk students is an excellent example of command and control that also adds more manual effort to the instructor’s heavy workload. The alternative? Automation. Specifically, we’re talking inactivity detection automation that can be fine-tuned per organization and easily facilitated by any platform administrator or instructor. For example, the CYPHER platform allows you to set rules and automatically notify the instructor or administration if a learner hasn’t visited the course or platform in an instructor-specified number of days. This automation is seamlessly built-in, eliminating the need to run reports to see which students are inactive. Additionally, automated actions triggered by student inactivity enables institutions multiple ways to proactively help at-risk students. For example, a professor can automatically send inactive students a video that explains why it’s important to start engaging with the material early in the semester. Lastly, inactivity detection goes beyond detecting a lack of engagement in courses. Inactivity detection allows you to determine rules for site-level inactivity if students don’t log in. Instructors can also use learning tools like gamification to reward students with points and badges for their engagement, and make learning more competitive and fun. ## Promote the use of the LMS grade book for early failing student alerts Although promoting the use of the LMS grade book is an important best practice, detecting failing students based on grades alone probably means that it’s already too late. A much better alternative for identifying learning gaps and failures and proactively taking action is a competency-based learning approach. Competency-based learning was designed with the idea that learners prove or demonstrate mastery of a skill or concept before moving on to the next lesson. Competency-based learning allows instructors to associate competencies with automated rules. So for example, if a student’s competency level drops below 50% for more than 20 days, different actions can be triggered including ing the professor, providing improvement recommendations, or alerting their advisor. The CYPHER platform has fifteen assessment types, including question banks, essays, gamification, and self-evaluation to ensure learners can demonstrate proficiency and competency. Although most professors still provide guidance and recommendations for improving face-to-face, failing students, especially in online only-courses, don’t always have easy access to instructors or administrators.Learners can use data specific to their skills and performance to adapt their learning practices. Similarly, trainers and administrators can use captured data to review the needs of individual learners or groups of learners in a course and adapt instruction to those needs. Assessing competency through a competency-based learning approach is a much more effective way to not just identify the students who are struggling, but also automatically show them how to improve performance. ## Using the LMS for engaging and retaining students LMSs can effectively support Higher Education institutions whether they’re offering on-campus, hybrid, or online courses. The CYPHER platform offers an intuitive user experience that reduces technology stress and promotes student engagement. It also offers a powerful automation feature that promotes the early detection of at-risk students and allows institutions to create a more engaging learning journey. This benefits students, as they will receive the support they need when they need it, and instructors or advisors as they save time and can instead focus on actually helping students succeed. ## In Summary For those with dated LMS systems, Gartner’s recommendations definitely make sense, but with a modern learning system, you can do more and achieve better results. - Engage students by creating a consistent course navigation experience, but set a higher standard and ensure an engaging learning environment from beginning to end, and not just for courses. - Proactively identify and keep at-risk students engaged with automation and enables instructors to be notified and take action sooner. - Consider implementing a competency-based learning approach for better identifying learning gaps and failures and proactively taking action. Designed with the idea that learners prove or demonstrate mastery of a skill or concept before moving on to the next lesson, competency-based learning allows instructors to associate competencies with automated rules and better assess proficiency.

Its cloud architecture supports secure, high‑performance operation across departments with thousands of users. Organizations using hybrid or blended models that combine online and in-person parts can rely on CYPHER to deliver consistent learning experiences across modalities. ### Supports blended and hybrid teaching models Hybrid or blended learning combines in‑person and virtual instruction. CYPHER offers tools such as synchronous and asynchronous content, automation, and analytics to support multiple hybrid teaching models, including rotation, flex, self-blend, and enriched virtual models. Features like the green dot activity indicator signal activity of other users within courses to enhance live‑class engagement. ### Organizational structure support Medium‑sized hybrid organizations often split training across internal teams and external partners. The CYPHER platform's Organizations feature enables partitioning, allowing separate portals, administrators, and course catalogs for each department or partner group, while maintaining centralized control and branding. This makes it ideal for companies layering training across HR, sales, compliance, extended enterprise audiences, and more. ### AI‑powered course creation and skills mapping CYPHER Agent accelerates content development by taking uploaded documents or multimedia and turning them into skills‑mapped courses with assessments, gamification, and branding all in minutes. This speeds training rollouts, especially vital for organizations that must continually update curriculum across teams of 500–1000 learners. ### Seamless integrations with enterprise systems Hybrid organizations typically rely on HR, CRM, content, and collaboration platforms. CYPHER supports enterprise-grade integrations, through its native API, CYPHER Connect, Workato, Zapier, and other native integrations in its App Center, as well as learning standards such as SCORM, xAPI, and LTI. Built‑in connectors include Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, MS Teams, payment gateways, training libraries (Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, OpenSesame, Udemy), and more. Automation workflows (e.g., auto‑enrolment via HRIS triggers) reduce manual overhead. ### Analytics, reporting, and ROI tracking For organizations with 500–1000 staff members, data-driven insights are crucial. CYPHER provides dashboards, granular tracking, completion status, skills gaps, user activity timelines, and cost-savings estimates via the ROI Calculator before deployment, with real-time visibility across learner segments, groups, and departments. ### Modern learner experience The platform is designed for intuitive navigation, personalized skill development, social learning, assessments, gamification, and mobile access, which improves learner adoption and retention in hybrid workforces. For teams in HR, compliance, sales, or extended enterprise, a modern interface reduces support burden and boosts engagement. ## How CYPHER Learning fits your organization Use case How CYPHER meets the need Department‑specific training (e.g. HR, Sales, IT) Use separate Organizations with custom portals per team or department.

This month, we’re spotlighting Omar Cervantes, who has been promoted to Account Executive – Growth & Retention, Latin America. From building trusted relationships as a Customer Success Manager to now focusing on growing and retaining our LATAM customer base, Omar’s journey is a story of dedication, results, and passion for helping organizations succeed. We sat down with him to talk his proudest moments, his vision for the region, and what drives him every day. ### Question You’ve just stepped into a brand-new role—what’s running through your mind right now? ### Answer I’m thinking all the opportunities and possibilities that this new challenge brings to me and the company. Professionally, I’ve always looked for getting the best out of every chance I receive or make for myself, and personally, this brings a lot of learning how hard work, dedication, and doing things in goodwill helps you get where you want to be.  ### Question Thinking back to your start at CYPHER Learning, what’s a moment or project that really shaped how you work today? ### Answer It has been everything. I don’t have a Sales background, but I have always had a strong customer service attitude. So when I started at CYPHER 4 years ago, I never thought of becoming an AE or becoming instrumental in the development of a complete region. Every moment I’ve spent at this company, from good times to difficult challenges, has shaped me into what this new role and challenge will require me to be.  ### Question LATAM has its own unique opportunities and challenges, how has working with customers in the region influenced your approach? ### Answer I would say it’s all the culture. I have learned that the LATAM region has a high context culture: It’s not only what you say, but also how you say it and I believe I have good skills reading people when meetings happen or even when receiving feedback on an email. It’s very different from the culture in the US Market, but having experience working with customers in both markets has given me the experience to better understand our target client.  ### Question In your new role, growth and retention are the focus. What’s your vision for achieving both in a competitive market? ### Answer By continuing to actively listen to our clients. We have a strong, long-standing customer base, and that’s where growth begins. Many of our clients have been with us for years, so we know the trust is there. The key is to keep the dialogue open, understand what’s working, where we can improve, and adapt our services, especially the human touch, to meet their evolving needs. ### Question If you had to give one piece of advice to someone starting in customer-facing roles today, what would it be? ### Answer Don’t forget we’re working with human beings: people. Sometimes the person on the other side of the screen only needs to be listened to and feel they’re receiving empathy from the other person. When empathy comes first half the problem is already solved.  Omar’s promotion is a win for our customers and for the CYPHER Learning team. His deep understanding of the LATAM market, commitment to customer success, and focus on delivering measurable results will help drive growth in the region. We’re excited to see what he’ll accomplish next…congratulations, Omar!

Due to the extent of **technology use** in students’ lives, educators, parents, or policy makers need better understand how they interact with technology. Teachers that want to implement a **digital wellness initiative** can start doing so in their classroom, with the end goal of inspiring a **healthier relationship with technology** that will serve them for a lifetime, not just during school hours. Here are the four main steps to focus on: 1. ### Learning technology at As **students learn by example**, teachers know how important it is for them to have a **balanced tech routine** at . Educators can share a guide for parents on setting boundaries, setting an example, or how to use parental controls on devices. Communicate these things directly if you are using an **LMS that has parent accounts**, or make use of parent-teacher meetings and emails. 2. ### Assuming responsibility **Cyber responsibility** means being accountable for your **online habits**. Get to know how your students interact with technology in general. You might be surprised to see how many of them don’t understand the impact **screen time** has — after all, this is part of their normal, day to day life. Students need to learn when it is appropriate to use them, both in class and at . 3. ### Good online behavior Good behavior should extend to the virtual world as well. It is an essential aspect of **digital citizenship**. Teach them to understand **online etiquette**, be aware of their **digital footprint** (e.g everything you do stays online forever), and how to post only **appropriate content**. For example, if you have an online forum for discussing class topics, and students start leaving offtopic comments, it is a great opportunity to talk online rules and why they are important. 4. ### Staying safe online Needless to say, **online safety** is a major concern for everyone. Ideally, younger children would be supervised by an adult at all times. However, preteens and teens are sometimes not aware of the risks or what constitutes unsafe behavior. Tell them at least the basics, such as the risk of browsing malicious sites, falling for online scams and frauds, giving out personal information and not being aware of how their data is tracked.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Inadequate web presence and technology infrastructure resulting in disjointed sales and registration processes, inefficient training support, and manual administrative burdens - Difficulty in implementing various business models across product and service lines due to limitations of existing technology solutions - Struggle to efficiently manage expanding digital live events and micro-learning initiatives without effective technology support Our operations had reached a crossroads – we had a web presence that was run with multiple sites and applications that wasn’t meeting the full service needs of our community. We were preparing to expand our offering with a variety of digital live events and micro-learning with no effective technology approach. Feedback from our community was that our sales and registration process was disjointed. They really needed further efficient and timely training support for the use of our resources and to assist with growing regulatory and scope of practice topics. We were also stuck with wanting to trial and implement a range of business models across our product and service line, such as: individual and group purchases, pre-purchasing, subscriptions, integrated product and service lines, and free events. We were struggling to achieve this with the existing technology solutions that we had in place. Also, the manual administration within the business was starting to strangle us as we continued to grow. ## The solution We knew within minutes of first seeing CYPHER that we’d found our solution. Being learning professionals, we have been using LMS technology for decades for various purposes, but on watching the initial CYPHER demo we’d never seen anything like it. Mobile responsive, attractive interface, easy-to-use, huge range of features, gamification, extensive integrations, amazing automation engine and a built-in social community with an e-commerce feature that does all of the various business model options we were looking for. ### Implementation The initial implementation was one of the smoothest transitions we’ve ever been involved with. We did all implementation and training in-house, using CYPHER’s help and support function that we think is second to none. It took us less than 30 days from initial installation to go live with our community - a whole platform transition in one go. We have used CYPHER to replace all of the prior sites we were running and it is now the technology underpinning our entire community. Automation and integration has also been a breeze, with our operations having CYPHER integrated with email marketing, finance, webinar and credential issuing platforms to drive engagement and reduce administrative work across the entire business. ### Improvements We’ve used CYPHER to drive our entire digital community for years now. We could not run our business and support our community of educators as effectively any other way. Our team has been able to focus on supporting our community engagement rather than heavy manual administration processes. We have used a myriad technology and LMS solutions over the years and CYPHER is simply the most attractive, fully-featured, easy-to-use option available. ### Features The visitor presence is a key part of our implementation. Digital media resource sales have continued to grow exponentially since transitioning to CYPHER, and the e-commerce functionality now allows us to provide micro learning, live digital events, packages of events, bundled products and services, monthly and annual subscription packages. and pre-sales. We can run any business model approach we want on a product line basis. Within the community across our various product lines, we’ve been using gamification and digital credentials to recognise achievements, to develop content and release schedules to control and curate our participant experiences. We’ve also used social community features to really drive ongoing engagement with community members online. With our live streaming solution also embedded directly into CYPHER, our event attendees don’t have to go to another platform or worry links and access. It all seems seamless and attendees can just focus on the great event they’re joining and the pre and post activities around the live sessions that the technology enables. Every business should consider CYPHER as their go-to solution for digital learning & online communities. “CYPHER has allowed us to re-invent and continue to grow our business dramatically, while launching and providing new services to our community members.” Phill Bevan, Community Advisor ## The results - Adopting CYPHER Learning® streamlined operations, providing a user-friendly platform with extensive features and integrations - Smooth implementation within 30 days enabled rapid transition to a comprehensive solution for community needs - Revenue more than doubled since CYPHER implementation - Utilizing CYPHER's automation and integration features reduced manual tasks and supported business growth without requiring additional administrative staff CYPHER has allowed us to re-invent and continue to grow our business dramatically, while launching and providing new services to our community members. We continue to break new records each quarter in various engagement and sales measures and revenue has more than doubled since implementing, without adding any new personnel. The incredible automation options of the technology we keep talking has removed so much of the mundane manual administration that was weighing down our team – we believe we will be able to double in size again in the coming two years still without any new administrative personnel being required. The best result we’d note is that our VETR community loves using CYPHER. Since the initial transition we have received nothing but positive comments around how user-friendly and easy the technology is to use. Individuals can focus on the tasks and topics they are looking to achieve, rather than worrying how to work with the tech! “We’re asked all the time, “What’s that great LMS you use?” The answer is CYPHER.” Phill Bevan, Community Advisor ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Comienza en casa: los primeros profesores son los padres. Mientras el estudiante atraviesa las etapas fundamentales dentro del sistema, los padres son un eslabón fundamental en el panorama general. La configuración actual del aprendizaje a distancia dejó esto más que claro. Los padres deben estar sumamente involucrados en la dinámica del proceso de aprendizaje de sus hijos y deben tener una estrecha relación con los profesores y la escuela. Sin embargo, lograr que esto suceda siempre ha sido un desafío debido a la gran cantidad de estudiantes y padres que cada profesor tendría que abordar en una cierta cantidad de tiempo. Las escuelas y los profesores juegan un papel esencial para lograr que los padres o cuidadores se involucren lo más posible en el aprendizaje de sus hijos, pero ellos mismos también pueden tomar cartas en el asunto si realmente lo desean. De todas maneras, la tecnología educativa (Edtech) está aquí para ayudar. ## Cómo la tecnología educativa fortalece la participación de los padres en el aprendizaje en línea No es fácil incorporar la tecnología de la educación en todos los aspectos del aprendizaje de un estudiante. La administración de la escuela lo sabe perfectamente. Hay muchos aspectos que se deben considerar: desde el hardware y el software hasta el desarrollo profesional (DP) sobre el uso de estas tecnologías en el aula para garantizar que los estudiantes tengan el mismo acceso. Pero los directores de las escuelas también saben que todos los esfuerzos para adoptar la tecnología educativa valen la pena. Los profesores pueden diseñar mejores materiales de aprendizaje, brindar una mejor instrucción, ofrecer un mejor apoyo y, en general, crear experiencias educativas más personalizadas para cada estudiante. Los estudiantes se involucran más en su proceso de aprendizaje, lo que en última instancia da lugar a mejores resultados académicos. Como beneficio adicional, la tecnología educativa también ofrece nuevas formas para que los padres conozcan las actividades escolares y el progreso de sus hijos en cada materia que aprenden y, en términos generales, estén más presentes en toda la experiencia de aprendizaje. Existen al menos tres vías que apoyan la participación de los padres a través de las tecnologías educativas. ¡Explorémoslas! ### 1. Sistema de gestión de aprendizaje (LMS) El cambio al aprendizaje en línea ha convertido al [LMS escolar](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/neo) en una pieza central del rompecabezas de la tecnología educativa en cada vez más escuelas. Si bien estos sistemas están principalmente diseñados para profesores y estudiantes, y se promueven como soluciones completas para apoyar el aprendizaje, también están dirigidos a los padres. A través de un LMS escolar, los padres se involucran en todos los aspectos del aprendizaje de sus hijos, cuando les resulte más conveniente. Todo lo que tienen que hacer en proporcionar una dirección de correo electrónico. Una vez que tienen una [cuenta para padres](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/neo/caracteristicas) configurada dentro del LMS, pueden explorar y beneficiarse de las funciones disponibles: - **Una vista panorámica de los objetivos de aprendizaje:** desde la hoja de ruta del año escolar hasta los resultados de aprendizaje esperados para cada materia y las actividades o tareas específicas, los padres pueden obtener una clara visión general de lo que su hijo tiene que hacer. Los profesores también pueden hacer hincapié en las áreas en las que los padres pueden contribuir, y así ofrecen una idea más clara de lo que se espera de ellos. - **Funciones de colaboración:** los grupos de chat y los mensajes directos no son solo para estudiantes y profesores. Los padres también pueden usar estas funciones de LMS para comunicarse con los padres cuyos hijos toman las mismas clases que ellos. De esta manera, pueden plantear problemas e inquietudes relevantes sin asistir físicamente a las reuniones de padres y profesores, o hablar directamente con un profesor si es necesario. - **Seguimiento del progreso del estudiante:** por lo general, una cuenta para padres brinda acceso a cierta información, como los cursos en los que está inscrito el estudiante, qué tareas vencen (o vencieron) y las calificaciones. Esto puede ayudar a los padres a saber cuándo intervenir (o no), generar conciencia sobre algo u ofrecer comentarios importantes a los profesores. Por supuesto, estos ejemplos solo son una pequeña muestra de lo que un LMS puede hacer por los padres. Lo más importante es que les permite involucrarse, tanto como quieran, en las actividades escolares de sus hijos. ### 2. Aplicaciones educativas Además de obtener una cuenta para padres en el LMS que usa la escuela de sus hijos (con el control de los administradores de la escuela), los padres también pueden tomar cartas en el asunto cuando sus hijos no están en la escuela. Al fin y al cabo, el aprendizaje puede suceder en cualquier momento y lugar. Las aplicaciones educativas pueden ser muy útiles para lograr ese objetivo. Muchas aplicaciones diferentes están diseñadas específicamente para el mercado educativo, y abarcan diversos temas y distintos grupos etarios. Las pueden usar los profesores en el aula, pero también los padres en casa. Una vez que descubren las más adecuadas para sus hijos y cómo usarlas de manera efectiva, los padres pueden compartir los esfuerzos y las pequeñas victorias que el aprendizaje trae aparejado. Estos son solo algunos ejemplos de aplicaciones educativas que los padres pueden usar para participar en el aprendizaje de sus hijos: - [10,500+ Cool Facts](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/10-500-cool-facts/id315194952) ofrece datos inspiradores sobre naturaleza, vocabulario, arte, historia, ciencia, tecnología, exploración espacial y mucho más. La aplicación es muy fácil de usar y ofrece una infinidad de respuestas a la curiosidad natural de los niños por el mundo que nos rodea. - [Google Expeditions](https://artsandculture.google.com/project/expeditions) cuenta con cientos de experiencias diseñadas paras niños de todas las edades. Los niños y los padres pueden realizar viajes virtuales juntos prácticamente a cualquier lugar, en cualquier período, a través de varias colecciones que tienen contenido de realidad virtual vinculado y materiales de apoyo. Sin embargo, es necesario un casco de realidad virtual. - [Aurasma](https://www.auganix.org/hud/aurasma/) utiliza la realidad aumentada para sumergir a los niños de cualquier nivel escolar en cualquier tema que estén aprendiendo. Los usuarios pueden crear "auras" cargando las imágenes que deseen como disparadores y pueden agregar enlaces, videos, animaciones y escenas 3D como superposiciones. - [Our Pact](https://ourpact.com/) es una de las tantas aplicaciones para teléfonos inteligentes en el mercado que ayudan a padres e hijos a establecer límites en cuanto al tiempo que pasan frente a la pantalla y las horas que dedican a las tareas escolares, las tareas del hogar, el tiempo en familia y más. Hay miles de aplicaciones que padres e hijos pueden usar en casa. Esto no solo hace que el aprendizaje sea divertido para los niños, sino que los padres pueden aprovechar la oportunidad para enseñarles cómo usar la tecnología de manera responsable. ### 3. Sitios web educativos Los sitios web educativos son otra excelente manera para que los padres se involucren en el aprendizaje de sus hijos. Internet es una fuente ilimitada de conocimiento, con una increíble cantidad de información sobre cualquier cosa que se pueda aprender, incluso para los padres. Es posible que sea necesario separar el trigo de la paja, en especial, en el caso de los niños más pequeños, ya que brinda acceso a muchos sitios web que son una pérdida de tiempo o inapropiados para el aprendizaje. Sin embargo, los padres pueden encontrar grandes aliados en línea. Estos son algunos ejemplos: - [Khan Academy](https://www.khanacademy.org/) es una oportunidad única para padres e hijos que buscan complementar el trabajo escolar con diversas actividades educativas. Está diseñada para niños de todas las edades y brinda apoyo para todo tipo de materias mediante videos instructivos, materiales escritos de apoyo o ejercicios prácticos. - [YouTube For Kids](https://www.youtube.com/kids/) es como YouTube, pero con control parental. Ofrece una gran cantidad de programas educativos y tutoriales en video que los niños adoran. También cuenta con una combinación de configuraciones y filtros para bloquear videos inapropiados que garantiza la tranquilidad de los padres. - [Art for Kids Hub](https://www.artforkidshub.com/) tiene una gran cantidad de tutoriales en video que enseñan a dibujar. Dibujar es una de esas actividades que se pueden hacer de forma individual o grupal. ¿Quién sabe dónde podría estar el próximo Picasso? Al igual que en el caso de las aplicaciones educativas, la cantidad de sitios web educativos parece ilimitada. Internet cumple las expectativas, independientemente de la edad de los niños, sus pasiones o el tiempo disponible de los padres para compartir con sus hijos en esos sitios web. ## Conclusión Permitir que los padres se involucren en la educación de sus hijos tiene consecuencias positivas en todos los niveles. Los estudiantes sienten que su proceso de aprendizaje es importante para todos, no solo para ellos.

July 25, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 4 minutes read Choosing the right Learning Management System (LMS) is a crucial decision that can significantly enhance efficiency, engagement, and outcomes for your organization. In this guide, you'll find a clear evaluation framework and discover why CYPHER learning consistently stands out based on recent industry recognition. ## 1. Define your needs and goals Start by identifying the primary reasons for adopting an LMS. Are you aiming to: - Onboard employees faster? - Offer compliance or certification training? - Empower reskilling and upskilling? - Deliver customer- or partner-facing courses? Understanding these objectives helps narrow the scope and align features, including reporting, certifications, e-commerce, course authoring, automation, and integrations. ## 2. Prioritize user experience An LMS should feel intuitive for all users—admins, trainers, and learners. Easy navigation, mobile-friendly design, and clean interfaces reduce support overhead and boost adoption. According to Forbes Advisor, "the intuitive user interface (UI) and multiple ways to award employees" elevate usability and engagement. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-employee-training-software/) ## 3. Evaluate course creation and personalization Look for LMS platforms that support robust tools and AI‑assisted content creation. Whether creating compliance modules, instructor‑led courses, or blended learning paths, the ability to personalize learning journeys is key. [Source: CYPHER Learning](/tour/automation), [Source: CYPHER Learning](/tour/content-development-and-delivery) See if the LMS offers: - Automated enrollment and reminders. - AI‑powered course generation. - Personalized learning paths and recommendations. - Rich assessment and certification features. ## 4. Consider analytics and ROI tracking Training isn't just completion rates—it's performance improvement. Effective LMS platforms provide actionable insights: - Competency and mastery tracking. - Skills-gap analysis. - ROI and cost‑savings. CYPHER offers an [ROI Calculator](https://www.cypherlearning.com/roi-calculator) to quantify efficiency gains and cost reductions—making it easier to justify your LMS investment. ## 5. Look for scalability, security, and support Your LMS needs to scale with your organization—from a few teams to global operations. That means: [Source: CYPHER Learning](/white-label-lms), [Source: CYPHER Learning](/faq/privacy-and-security) - Multi‑tenant setups and white‑labeling. - GDPR and ISO compliance. - Cloud hosting and uptime guarantees. - Global customer support options. ## 6.

How to capture and use it in 2025 **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/what-is-institutional-knowledge **Last Modified:** 2025-04-07 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [L&D leaders](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/ld-leaders) # What is institutional knowledge? How to capture and use it in 2025 April 3, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 8 minutes read If there’s one word that sums up the reality of managing today’s workforce, that word is challenging. An early 2025 [Gallup report](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/656906/top-four-reasons-taking-new-job.aspx) found that 51% of employees are actively looking for new job opportunities. Employees crave stability, balance and opportunities to share, use, and expand their knowledge. Consequently, workplace culture is the key to transforming jobs into chances for continual growth and learning, and it’s incumbent on institutions to preserve those goals. For companies, much of this wisdom and instruction is found in institutional knowledge. What does that mean for looking ahead, in a world where work is constantly evolving and more roles go digital? Capturing institutional knowledge is a strategic asset for maintaining organizational continuity and success. ## What is institutional knowledge, and why do companies need it? Much of institutional knowledge is passed on informally, making it difficult to preserve in a procedural or formal way. Even if some of that knowledge is intangible, many of these prized facts or concepts deserve a prominent place at the heart of any enterprise transformation.  To ensure valuable corporate knowledge is not lost, it’s important to document institutional knowledge through structured processes and tools. With more teams going hybrid or remote and employee turnover at record levels, preserving and growing your company’s institutional knowledge is more important than ever. ## Definition and types of institutional knowledge [Institutional knowledge](https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/institutional-knowledge) refers to the collective understanding, skills, experiences, and insights that are accumulated over time within an organization.  This knowledge includes the unwritten rules, cultural nuances, historical information, best practices, and unique expertise that employees develop through their work. It is the backbone of an organization’s identity and operational efficiency, providing a foundation for decision-making, problem-solving, and innovation. ### Explicit knowledge Explicit institutional knowledge is easily articulated, documented, and shared. It is formal and structured, often found in the form of documents, procedures, databases, and training materials. You’d be able to spot this type of knowledge if you’ve ever browsed a company handbook or taken an [onboarding course](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/onboarding). Examples of explicit knowledge include company policies, standard operating procedures, and technical manuals. This type of knowledge is crucial for maintaining consistency and ensuring that all employees have access to the same information. ### Implicit knowledge Implicit knowledge is a type of institutional knowledge that is not formally documented but can be inferred or deduced from explicit knowledge. It involves applying explicit knowledge in specific contexts and is often acquired through experience or observation.  For example, an employee might know the best way to handle a particular client based on past interactions, even if this approach isn’t written down anywhere. Implicit knowledge is essential for making informed decisions and solving complex problems, as it bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. ### Tacit knowledge Tacit knowledge is a type of institutional knowledge that is deeply rooted in individual experiences, insights, and intuitions. It is often subconscious and difficult to articulate. It's harder to transfer institutional knowledge of this type with standard communication tactics. This kind of knowledge includes personal skills, expertise, and the “gut feelings” that experienced employees develop over time. Tacit knowledge is essential for innovation, creativity, and problem-solving, as it allows employees to navigate unique challenges and come up with novel solutions. ## What are the benefits of maximizing institutional knowledge? Institutional knowledge is more wisdom than just information. Innovators in your company bring fresh ideas and look for better ways to do things, which is an invaluable lever on the path to growth. But there’s also immense value in accumulated experience and proven methods. Here’s why preserving organizational knowledge is essential: - Economic uncertainty remains a constant challenge. As businesses navigate inflation, shifting markets, and ongoing workforce changes in 2025, relying on institutional knowledge—especially lessons learned from recent turbulent years—will be crucial. The experience your company has gained will play a key role in shaping strategies and ensuring long-term resilience. - There's no innovation without a solid base. We like to say that ideas are groundbreaking, but that means there was some ground already there to be broken. Everything your company has learned, through trial and error or chance, is valuable to progress. Knowing what's a mistake and what has worked in the past saves a lot of resources. - Institutional knowledge helps bridge the gap between new hires and experienced employees. With many baby boomers retiring, companies are seeing more generational diversity than ever. While this shift may help offset workforce shortages, it also highlights the need for knowledge-sharing to ensure a smooth transition between generations. - You can avoid single points of failure (SPOFs) if your organization has a healthy learning culture. You shouldn't have irreplaceable employees who leave a major information gap when they quit working for the company. If there isn't a constant knowledge-sharing flow, your organization is susceptible to developing a silo mentality that is terrible for progress and growth. - Institutional knowledge can significantly enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring that employees understand customer needs and preferences, leading to improved service delivery and heightened loyalty.

Furthermore, you can ensure a smoother knowledge transfer process by facilitating communication between employees and setting up coaching and mentorship programs: ### 1. Center some of your training programs around explicit knowledge Today, corporate learning is becoming increasingly autonomous. Employees often prefer informal learning, and companies do their best to accommodate them by offering rich libraries of third-party content. This is great as it provides diversity and has the power to drive high learning engagement rates. However, remember that your company is unique even in the global business world. You need to translate that into customized in-house training programs that reflect the organization's values and mission. They should convey institutional knowledge that is particular or even exclusive to your company.  Everything branding, customer relations, retention and loyalty programs, and even sales falls into this category. For example, you can have a third-party course on how to address customer complaints in an empathetic and friendly manner, but that will just make your customer support employees sound like everyone else's. Add some branding elements, emphasize organizational values and offer practical examples of what going the extra mile means for your company and you’ll have superior customer support service. ### 2. Use an online training platform for institutional knowledge These days you don’t need a paperwork trail for everything. Going digital is great for the environment and much easier to track and use. While having internal wikis for employees to contribute to is an outstanding practice, they can be a little hard to follow, and essential information is easily lost. Depending on the tool you use for these wikis, they can be stored internally or hosted on a third-party server. Not all of these tools have effective search features, so it can be time-consuming to find something specific. Storing essential organizational knowledge in your [learning management system](https://www.cypherlearning.com/business) (LMS) or knowledge management system makes it easier to browse and update when necessary. Furthermore, the LMS also protects your sensitive information, and if you need to migrate the content at one point, you can do so seamlessly. A modern platform also allows you to pack the information in various ways – gamified courses, video tutorials, SME talks, whitepapers, etc. Read more: [5 Reasons why cross-training employees is beneficial for your company](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/cross-training-employees/) ### 3. Have strong mentorship and coaching programs Much of institutional knowledge circulates informally within the organization. You can’t always capture all of it but having good mentorship programs allows new hires or people moving to new roles to benefit from the experience of their more seasoned colleagues. While the structure of these programs makes them somewhat formal, the conversations between people will always touch on matters or points that are not always written on the agenda. In my experience as a trainer, I’ve seen firsthand that learners tend to [remember the stories](https://www.harvardbusiness.org/what-makes-storytelling-so-effective-for-learning/) rather than the theoretical content. The power of stories is even greater when they are personal. Mentorship and coaching allow for a deeper connection and are great mediums for transferring that valuable institutional knowledge. ### 4. Celebrate success and learn from mistakes Personal stories are powerful, but a company’s history is even more impactful. Major events—like rebrands, product launches, or mergers—shape your organization’s identity. While these stories often spread by word of mouth, actively preserving them ensures everyone benefits from past experiences. Celebrate wins openly. Send congratulatory emails, highlight successes in a newsletter, or host recognition events. If you want to repeat a successful strategy, make sure it’s visible. Failures, on the other hand, tend to spread quickly—and often get exaggerated. Instead of letting misinformation take over, address mistakes honestly and without blame. For example, if a product launch gets leaked and harms the company, acknowledge what happened. Explain the impact, and outline the steps to prevent it in the future. Keeping both wins and losses in the collective memory strengthens your organization. ### 5. Involve your employees Even though “institutional knowledge” refers to the organization as an abstract entity, people are the keepers of all that information. Therefore, it's only logical to call on them for help. Seasoned employees have a wealth of experience and can help design curriculums and training programs to preserve and [transfer institutional knowledge](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/7-factors-that-boost-the-transfer-of-learning/). You can set up a program where you either pay them extra for doing this or offer other kinds of incentives – such as paid vacations, certifications, or time off. Don’t forget the people who are leaving the organization either. [Offboarding](https://peoplemanagingpeople.com/articles/employee-offboarding-steps/) them properly means ensuring that their know-how stays within the company. Ask them to record and organize their standard procedures, best practices, and essential insights for specific clients. If there's the possibility of doing an extended handover to somebody on their team, do that as well. As a rule of thumb, ask all your employees to document their knowledge and experiences, even if they are not close to exiting the company. ## What are the challenges of managing institutional knowledge? Managing institutional knowledge can be challenging due to various factors, including employee turnover, knowledge silos, and the difficulty of capturing tacit knowledge. These challenges can hinder an organization’s ability to preserve and leverage its valuable expertise. ### Over-relying on institutional knowledge Over-relying on institutional knowledge can lead to several hurdles you might not anticipate. These challenges include: - **Knowledge loss**: When key employees leave the organization, they take their institutional knowledge with them, which can lead to knowledge loss and disruption of business operations. This is particularly problematic if the knowledge was never documented or shared with others. - **Inefficient knowledge sharing**: Institutional knowledge is often shared through informal networks, which can lead to inefficient knowledge sharing and duplication of effort. Without a structured approach to knowledge management, important information can be overlooked or forgotten. - **Lack of innovation**: Over-relying on institutional knowledge can stifle innovation and creativity, as employees may be less likely to challenge existing practices and procedures. This can result in a stagnant work environment where new ideas are not encouraged or explored. - **Dependence on key employees**: Organizations that rely heavily on institutional knowledge may become too dependent on key employees, which can lead to burnout and turnover. If these employees leave, the organization may struggle to fill the knowledge gap they leave behind. To overcome these challenges, organizations need to implement effective knowledge management strategies that capture, preserve, and share institutional knowledge. This can include documenting explicit knowledge, creating knowledge-sharing platforms, and providing training and development opportunities to employees. By doing so, organizations can ensure that their valuable insights and expertise are accessible to all employees, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation. ### Hot tip: Preserve institutional knowledge by making it part of everyday operations Want to keep institutional knowledge from walking out the door when employees leave? Build knowledge sharing into your daily operations. Instead of waiting until someone retires to document their expertise, encourage teams to log processes, insights, and best practices as they go. For example, set up a shared knowledge hub (like an LMS or internal wiki) where employees can upload quick how-to videos, troubleshooting guides, or even lessons learned from recent projects. A senior engineer explaining a complex workflow today could save a new hire hours of confusion next year. Make it easy—integrate knowledge capture into regular meetings or performance reviews. The key is consistency. If sharing knowledge becomes a habit, your company won’t just preserve valuable information—it’ll keep evolving and improving with every employee who contributes. ## Got knowledge questions?

While there is no doubt that an LMS can provide incredibly **insightful analytics**, there is no need for teachers to use all of them. Instead, teachers can focus on a few key analytics that will make a difference in their activity. So what are those **key LMS analytics**? Each class is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but we can outline some of the most **common and relevant analytics** for teachers. Let’s have a look: 1. ### Progress analytics One of the most useful analytics is the **time spent in lessons** and sections because it makes it easy to identify improvement areas. Detailed analytics on each student’s progress, such as the **section and lesson completion** percentages, are also helpful; other analytics concern **students’ daily activity**, including assignment submission and viewed lessons. 2. ### Assessment analytics A good place to start is the **general assignment analytics** for a class. You might want to look at how many assignments are due, how many need to be graded, submissions, and the grade distribution. At an **assignment level**, it’s important to consider the grade average. The **gradebook** also provides useful analytics at a glance, such as missing assignments. 3. ### Mastery analytics The concept of mastery is simple. You create a **list of competencies** for a class or use a pre-built curriculum, then **tag sections and assignments** with the competencies they are teaching. In terms of analytics, the most useful metrics related to competencies are **mastery coverage** and **students’ overall competency progress**. 4. ### Built-in and custom reports An LMS provides **built-in reports** for instant insights. The most important reports generate class enrollment, class completion, missing work, and class status data. In addition, **custom reporting** allows teachers to create reports using parameters defined by them. They are great for **in-depth analytics**, such as figuring out who are the top 10% of students in all classes in terms of progress.

Whether you’re leading a team, managing a project, or guiding an entire organization, effective leadership is indispensable. But what does it take to become an exceptional leader? Some people are born with the innate ability to lead, but [research shows](https://www.zippia.com/advice/leadership-statistics/) that only 10% of people are natural leaders. Plus, being a natural leader doesn’t always equip someone with the skills necessary to manage a team. The good thing is leadership can be learned. In fact, anyone can be a better leader, and leadership training is vital to building those skills. Discover the benefits of leadership training and skills that every manager should master through it. ## The benefits of leadership training Leadership training offers numerous benefits. It doesn’t just positively impact those involved in the training but those throughout the organization as well. 1. **Increased employee engagement:**Effective leadership fosters a positive work environment, promoting employee satisfaction, motivation, and productivity. Plus, managers trained in communication, empathy and motivation can effectively engage and motivate employees. 2. **Enhanced team performance:** Managers trained in effective management techniques can guide teams to work more cohesively, leading to improved collaboration and performance. 3. **Better change management:** Leadership training equips managers with the skills to navigate and manage organizational change effectively, minimizing disruption and maximizing adaptability. 4. **Talent development:**Investing in leadership training demonstrates a commitment to employee growth, fostering talent retention and better preparing employees for future promotions. By providing managers in leadership positions and not yet in leadership positions, you better prepare workers to demonstrate leadership in any situation and prepare for future managerial positions. 5. **Improved organizational culture:**Strong leadership sets the tone for organizational culture, shaping values, behaviors, and norms that contribute to a positive and inclusive work environment. 6. **Higher profitability:**Effective leadership can lead to increased innovation, better decision-making, and improved customer satisfaction, ultimately driving higher profitability for the organization. ## Skills every leader and manager should master ### 1. Communication Clear and effective communication is important for leaders to express ideas, goals, and expectations to their team. This entails active listening, clear articulation, giving constructive feedback, and adapting communication styles for diverse audiences. Strong communication skills also facilitate conflict resolution, fostering innovation, openness, and understanding among team members. This ultimately boosts team performance and drives business results. ### 2. Emotional intelligence Leaders with high emotional intelligence can understand and manage their own emotions while also empathizing with the emotions of others. This skill helps in building strong relationships, resolving conflicts, and creating a positive work environment. It also helps leaders improve their responses to challenging situations and remain even-keeled. ### 3. Decision making Leaders must be able to make timely and well-informed decisions, often under pressure. Mastering decision-making, especially during times of change and uncertainty, involves gathering relevant information, analyzing potential outcomes, considering the input of others, and being decisive. ### 4. Coaching employees Coaching skills enable managers to develop the talents and skills of their team members, helping them reach their full potential. Coaching involves active listening, encouraging autonomy, mentoring future leaders, and more. By investing in coaching, leaders can create a positive and supportive work environment where individuals thrive and contribute to the overall success of the organization. ### 5. Adaptability In today's fast-changing business world, leaders must be able to adjust and change as needed. They should be open to new ideas and willing to try different things. When unexpected problems arise, they should be able to switch direction quickly. Being flexible and adaptable helps leaders and their teams succeed in a constantly changing environment. ### 6. Empowerment and delegation Effective leaders empower their team members by delegating tasks and responsibilities appropriately. Delegation involves trusting others to perform tasks, providing support and resources, and holding them accountable for results. Mastering this skill allows leaders to focus on higher-level responsibilities and promotes professional growth among team members. ## Fulcrum’s Modern Managers Leadership Series Currently, only 5% of businesses implement leadership training at all levels, according to [Zippia](https://www.zippia.com/advice/leadership-statistics/).

If your business started with [TalentLMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/10-most-popular-talentlms-alternatives-and-competitors-2024) as an entry-level solution, it might have served its purpose well in the beginning. But as your company scales, you may find that TalentLMS is no longer keeping pace with your expanding requirements. In this blog, we’ll explore why TalentLMS might be holding you back and why CYPHER Learning offers the robust, future-proof solution your organization needs. ## TalentLMS: Limitations of an entry-level solution When evaluating an LMS, it’s important to consider hands-on experience. As learning needs grow and evolve, platform needs can also change. In our research, here’s what professionals in the industry report based on their experiences. ### What L&D professionals say #### 1. Lack of automation Automation is essential for reducing manual tasks and streamlining processes. TalentLMS offers limited automation features, which means you might still be stuck doing repetitive administrative work—taking up time that could be better spent developing your teams. #### 2. Limited scalability As your organization grows, so should your LMS. Unfortunately, TalentLMS lacks the scalability necessary to handle larger teams and more complex training requirements. This limitation often results in slowdowns and higher operational costs as you need additional resources to compensate. #### 3. Hidden costs and a higher total cost of ownership Many businesses start with TalentLMS due to its appealing upfront pricing. However, hidden fees and extra costs for essential features like integrations or additional storage often add up, resulting in a higher total cost of ownership (TCO). #### 4. Outdated features The learning landscape is rapidly changing, and TalentLMS struggles to keep up with modern training needs. With outdated interfaces and limited customization options, it may not provide the engaging learning experiences your teams require. ## Upgrade to CYPHER Learning Now that we’ve identified the weaknesses of TalentLMS, let’s look at why CYPHER Learning is the superior choice for organizations seeking an innovative, scalable learning platform. ### What L&D professionals say #### 1. AI-driven, fully-automated platform CYPHER Learning offers full automation, drastically reducing manual work and streamlining your training processes. For starters, CYPHER has over 25 automated functions that provide trainers, educators, L&D, and administrators with the invaluable resource of time and this is without AI. Even better, our platform uses AI to create courses and assessments, generate skills and then map them to courses and assessments, [set up gamification](/tour/gamification), and review using AI Crosscheck. All this can happen in just a few minutes! #### 2. Designed for scalability Whether your organization is growing locally or globally, CYPHER Learning scales with you. Our platform can handle the most complex organizations and training scenarios, allowing your LMS to evolve as your needs expand without performance issues or extra resource costs. #### 3. Transparent pricing—no hidden costs CYPHER Learning prides itself on transparent pricing. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for upfront, and our cost-effective solution includes everything you need to deliver an outstanding learning experience—without the unexpected fees you might encounter with TalentLMS. #### 4. Continuous innovation Unlike TalentLMS, CYPHER Learning stays at the forefront of the learning industry. With regular updates, innovative AI features, and robust skills management, you can be confident your learning platform will meet today’s needs and adapt to future challenges. ## Now is the perfect time to switch your LMS The market is changing rapidly, with a growing focus on upskilling, personalized learning, and AI-driven training and curriculum options. Staying competitive requires more than just a basic LMS. If you’re still relying on TalentLMS, you risk falling behind as your competitors adopt more advanced tools that offer tangible business value. CYPHER Learning helps future-proof your training programs by ensuring you have access to the latest innovations in learning management. Don’t wait until your LMS becomes a bottleneck—now is the time to switch. ## Take the next step with CYPHER Learning If your organization feels the pinch of TalentLMS’s limitations, it’s time to explore the possibilities with CYPHER Learning.

These courses generate no small amount of eye-rolling from teachers, who typically bemoan its top-down style where trainers train trainers. Naturally, as an ITC coach, teachers will expect you to have fresh and different ideas on instruction. Here are some tips to help you keep coaching relevant, interesting and even fun. 1. ### Ensure the basics Develop an entry-level edtech introductory course to ensure a formal and consistent level of technological understanding across the staff. You may even find this is one of your most popular courses. 2. ### It’s not technology ISTE calls it “thoughtful pedagogy”, and is an essential, some would say, foundational concept for IT coaches. There will be many, many lessons and teaching methods that work well in your school. Implementing technology for technology’s sake will not only be unpopular with teachers, but quite possibly pedagogically damaging. 3. ### Expect resistance As a person passionate education technology, you may be surprised by how [resistant many teachers can be](/blog/k-20/educators-still-reluctant-using-technology-classroom/) to the change. Start slow and focus on the enthusiasts among the staff complement, and work from there — perhaps by presenting your successes at staff meetings and other workshops to entice further interest. 4. ### Mix it up Try using different formats such as: workshops, individual coaching, just in time, drop in hours, presentations during staff meetings/department meetings, or developing a video library or channel. 5. ### Stay up to date Many of the teachers will expect you to be bang up-to-date with all emerging edtech trends. Perhaps consider sending out a monthly emerging edtech newsletter to keep teachers engaged in what your role is. 6. ### Encourage collaboration Teacher-centred professional development is a hot topic, as many teachers grow weary of the same PD workshop circuit. Build platforms where teachers can collaborate and share experiences, questions and ideas. 7. ### Ensure your own PD Keep learning and reaching out to other coaches in your area; focus on the fact that ITC is a growing area, and that continuous learning is as much a part of your job, as it is the teachers you coach. 8. ### Focus on the teaching, not the teachers Many PD programs make the mistake of trying to develop teachers, rather than develop and improve teaching. Make sure that all your programs are focused on the ultimate goal: improving students’ learning outcomes. 9. ### Align with the school’s mission You may find that some school administrators consider your role to be “plug-and-play”, a sort of one-stop, all encompassing technology enabler. Making sure that you are part of the development and communication of the school’s mission and beliefs, also ensures that technology is integrated into the teaching culture, rather than an add-on. 10. ### Get granular You may be surprised by what you can learn from one lesson. In Japan they have a teacher development model called “Lesson Study”; a deep enquiry into one particular lesson, by a study group of a few teachers. Practice-based professional development is quite rare in the US, however there is a tranche of evidence to show that researching certain lessons, as a teacher group, studying its impact and refining it based on the group’s observations is a powerful way to not only improve the lesson, but indeed the teacher. 11. ### Create attractive courses Use a [high-quality LMS](/academia) to develop a library of attractive courses your teachers can take in their own time. Think of interesting titles such as: Digital Citizenship for Today, Using Social Media to Teach or Mastering Emerging EdTech. And don’t be afraid to use the same LMS teachers regularly use for teaching. 12. ### Try co-teaching Far from being resistant to having you in the classroom, you may find many teachers will welcome you to co-teach a class that is newly integrated with technology. This is not only a great way to observe how your students (the teachers) are handling the technology, but will also help you to understand the day-to-challenges they face. ### Finally Being an Instructional Technology Coach is deeply rewarding, especially when you consider that the systems you are putting in place in the school, will hopefully inspire and support a new generation of teaching that no longer distinguishes itself from technology as being “blended” or “integrated”, but where technology is an accepted and anticipated part of the entire learning and teaching system.

As trainers, educators, and teachers, we understand the challenges that come with developing engaging course content to meet the needs of modern learners. CYPHER Agent is designed to assist and enhance the work of trainers, educators, and teachers. With CYPHER Agent, you get the best of both worlds: the power of generative AI accelerated course creation and scalability combined with the human touch and expertise that only your organization can provide. CYPHER Agent seamlessly integrates with the CYPHER platform and enables you to leverage the full potential of generative AI on a modern learning platform while avoiding the hassle of navigating multiple platforms or connecting all the dots. CYPHER Agent ensures a smooth course creation workflow that saves your organization time and effort, and energizes the course creation process. This post is overcoming course creation challenges with CYPHER Agent at your side. ## The challenges involved in modern course creation Generative AI is a remarkably useful tool across various domains, but it has a few understandable limitations with regards to comprehensive course creation. For starters, consider that to create a single course, you must ask at least 150 specific questions! And because content customization options aren’t readily available, knowing the right questions and how to ask them is critically important to the results that you get. Open-ended queries can open the likelihood for inconsistent or incomplete information, which can have a detrimental impact on the overall quality and coherence of course content. Next, consider the challenge of using a stand-alone generative AI solution to create engaging and tailored learning experiences meant to cater to individual needs and align with competencies and specific learning objectives. Stand-alone generative AI solutions don’t provide scalability, gamification, personalization, or integration in the context of competency-based learning and assessment building. Nor were they meant to. ## Customize course creation with CYPHER Agent Course creation is where CYPHER Agent excels.

Enrollment, unenrollment, and inactivity actions Trigger automations upon course enrollment or unenrollment, ensuring learners are welcomed or bid farewell appropriately. Set inactivity triggers such as reminding users to visit a course when they are inactive. Celebrate achievements Automatically award certificates upon course, module, or assessment completion, with customized PDF certificates filled out by the CYPHER platform. Score sophistication Implement score-based rules, for instance if a learner gets a low score, you can automatically lock subsequent modules until they achieve a certain score. Adaptive mastery Define mastery rules that unlock advanced modules when learners reach a certain competency level, ensuring learners are constantly progressing.

Gamified growth Add levels and points to your courses, automating the awarding of points and badges to celebrate every step of the learning journey. See how ## Adaptive learning automation Experience adaptive learning like never before by utilizing automation to **dynamically personalize courses based on learners' previous actions**. This innovative feature empowers you to craft adaptive learning modules, assignments, and paths that evolve with each learner's proficiency. For instance, if a learner demonstrates mastery in a competency during an early quiz, the CYPHER platform intelligently conceals basic lessons and unveils more advanced content in real-time.Moreover, the CYPHER platform goes beyond traditional approaches by providing **proactive recommendations**. It suggests relevant materials and activities based on each learner's unique progress and interests, elevating the overall learning experience. **How the CYPHER recommendation engine works** - The recommendations engine starts by **listing all competencies** linked to learner's active goals (excluding paused goals). - Then, it **subtracts all previously mastered competencies**, leaving competencies the learner seeks.. - It then **compiles courses and groups** that cover the unmastered competencies. - The remaining recommendations are displayed in the **"Recommendations" tab** of the Goals widget and in the recommendations tab of the learner’s associated goal. By default, learner **recommendations recalculate every hour**. However, when a new goal is added or an existing goal is paused/resumed/removed, recommendations regenerate immediately. ## Learning path automation Define actions that trigger with each milestone in a learner's path, from enrollment to achieving goals to path completion. Integrate gamification in paths to motivate learners, using badges and points to visualize their journey towards expertise. ## E-commerce automation Create rules that trigger when users purchase courses, bundles, subscriptions, or media items, such as adding buyers into groups or courses that enhance their learning experience. Manage subscription dynamics, from welcoming new subscribers to addressing cancellations with automated precision. ## Automation for groups Create rules that activate when users are added to or removed from groups. These rules include adding them to learning paths and then reporting changes to an LRS through our xAPI integration.

While many Learning and Development (L&D) leaders focus on obvious benefits like centralized content delivery and compliance tracking, LMS platforms offer much deeper, transformative advantages. These hidden benefits quietly revolutionize how organizations scale learning, boost engagement, and achieve measurable business impact [(CommLab India, LMS for Corporate Training, 2025)](https://www.commlabindia.com/blog/learning-management-system-evolution). ## The strategic infrastructure for scalable training Modern LMS platforms provide more than just content hosting. They serve as a strategic infrastructure enabling L&D teams to deliver scalable, personalized training aligned with business growth goals. This extends beyond internal employee education to include customers, partners, and vendors. Such external training drives product adoption, customer loyalty, and revenue growth. The key advantage is the ability to scale customer training consistently while customizing learning by role, region, or customer type. An LMS ensures content quality, branding, and delivery remain centralized and easy to manage globally. This transforms learning from a support function into a strategic driver of satisfaction and retention [(CYPHER Learning, Solutions, orate Training, 2025)](https://www.commlabindia.com/blog/learning-management-system-evolution). ## Advanced analytics that transform decision-making Granular analytics are a lesser-known LMS advantage. Modern platforms offer detailed tracking of participation, course completion, knowledge assessments, and time spent per content type. These insights link learning progress with business success metrics, enabling a direct view of training ROI. L&D leaders can make strategic, data-driven decisions instead of relying on intuition. Analytics help identify learner behavior patterns, detect content gaps, and uncover optimization opportunities, which traditional methods often miss [(CommLab India, LMS for Corporate Training, 2025)](https://www.commlabindia.com/blog/learning-management-system-evolution). ## AI-enhanced personalization at scale AI integration is transforming LMS capabilities. Some platforms now include AI agents that guide learners through courses, answer questions instantly, and suggest personalized resources based on learner behavior. This reduces support team workload and enhances the learning experience. Additionally, AI enables adaptive learning tailored to individual progress, delivering intelligent content recommendations. Such personalized learning at scale was previously unattainable but is now standard with modern LMS solutions [(CYPHER Learning, Solutions, orate Training, 2025)](https://www.commlabindia.com/blog/learning-management-system-evolution). ## The competitive intelligence hidden in usage data LMS usage data reveals significant competitive advantages for organizations. 72% of businesses report gaining competitive edge through LMS adoption, and 40% of Fortune 500 companies use LMS platforms to maintain competitiveness. These figures highlight strategic benefits beyond efficiency. Widespread LMS adoption—with 92% of companies using LMS and 83% relying on it as a core training tool—shows clear recognition of these hidden values. Many organizations maintain LMS systems for over two years, embedding them deeply into corporate learning cultures [(TeachFloor, Employee Training Statistics, 2024)](https://www.teachfloor.com/blog/employee-training-statistics). ## Revenue impact through faster onboarding Faster onboarding is a critical hidden benefit of LMS adoption. Structured LMS programs enable new employees to reach productivity milestones weeks earlier. This acceleration translates into measurable revenue gains, not just cost savings. Organizations link learning technology directly to business growth, tracking onboarding speed and engagement as vital performance metrics. Effective onboarding programs support higher retention and better adoption rates, ensuring LMS investments yield strong returns [(D2L, LMS ROI, 2025)](https://www.d2l.com/blog/lms-roi/); [(CYPHER Learning, Solutions, 2025)](https://cypherlearning.com/solutions). ## Integration ecosystem that eliminates silos Modern LMS platforms seamlessly integrate with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, support tools, and analytics software. This connectivity creates a comprehensive learning ecosystem that breaks down department silos. Embedding learning into everyday workflows makes training contextual and accessible when needed. Such integrations reduce friction, improve adoption rates, and align customer training data with broader organizational success measures [(CommLab India, LMS for Corporate Training, 2025)](https://www.commlabindia.com/blog/learning-management-system-evolution). ## Long-term cultural transformation An often overlooked advantage is cultural change triggered by LMS implementation. Accelerated onboarding and enhanced engagement through personalized training contribute to improved employee retention, which lowers turnover costs. The demand for customized learning—expressed by 91% of employees—shows that LMS platforms fostering personalization increase engagement. This culture of continuous learning empowers employees to become advocates for ongoing development, reinforcing positive organizational transformation [(TeachFloor, Employee Training Statistics, 2024)](https://www.teachfloor.com/blog/employee-training-statistics); [(D2L, LMS ROI, 2025)](https://www.d2l.com/blog/lms-roi/). ## Future-proofing organizational capabilities LMS platforms future-proof organizations by supporting flexible, anytime-anywhere learning. Nearly half of employees desire this learning flexibility, making LMS adoption critical for adapting to evolving work models. Such strategic platforms provide a foundation for continuous learning innovation, allowing organizations to explore new training methodologies while ensuring consistent delivery quality. This adaptability is vital for maintaining operational agility in fast-changing environments [(TeachFloor, Employee Training Statistics, 2024)](https://www.teachfloor.com/blog/employee-training-statistics); [(CYPHER Learning, Solutions, 2025)](https://cypherlearning.com/solutions). ## Conclusion In summary, adopting modern LMS solutions offers L&D leaders opportunities far beyond basic training efficiencies. Hidden advantages like strategic revenue impact, data-driven decision-making, cultural shifts, and future-ready infrastructure position LMS platforms as essential to sustained organizational growth. Recognizing and leveraging these deeper benefits enables L&D leaders to drive business outcomes beyond traditional training metrics [(CYPHER Learning, Solutions, 2025)](https://cypherlearning.com/solutions). ## References 1.

The mission of the Santa Barbara Unified School District is to ensure the educational success of all students through high expectations and a commitment to excellence and to empower them to reach their full potential as responsible, ethical, and productive citizens in a diverse and changing world. “Teachers didn't have to use CYPHER, they chose to.” Santa Barbara Unified School District INDUSTRY K-12 COUNTRY United States Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Finding an LMS that was enjoyable, user-friendly, and reasonably priced for teachers and students - Ensuring voluntary adoption of the LMS to maximize its value for teachers, rather than forcing its use - Overcoming resistance to change among teachers who were accustomed to their existing methods and tools Part of our district strategic plan was to implement an LMS and we were looking for an LMS that the teachers and students would enjoy using, that was user friendly, and that was reasonably priced. ## The solution We came across CYPHER Learning® a few years ago and one of the exciting things it was the company's CEO Graham Glass and the fact that he was very open to the ideas of our teachers and to try to make CYPHER a great fit for us. And that is what it has become. The way we implemented CYPHER is also very important, we never forced teachers to use it, the implementation was strictly voluntary because we found that any time we force teachers to do or use something they found little value in it, but if they come naturally to it, then it's more valuable to them. Teachers didn't have to use CYPHER, they chose to. “One of the exciting things it was the company's CEO Graham Glass and the fact that he was very open to the ideas of our teachers and to try to make CYPHER a great fit for us.” Santa Barbara Unified School District ## The results - CYPHER enables educators to track student progress across classes, identify areas of struggle, and collaborate with teachers to provide targeted support - The implementation of rubrics within CYPHER standardizes grading criteria, ensuring fairness and consistency across different classrooms and subjects - CYPHER has become the central hub for all teaching and learning activities in the district, fostering collaboration among teachers and serving as the go-to platform for resources and communication One of the things that is most valuable to us is that we started using CYPHER as one of our intervention strategy with students, so if there is a student in a class who is struggling, we have the ability to go in and see how the student is doing in all of his/hers classes, see the lessons and where they're falling down, then connect with the teachers of those classes. CYPHER has allowed us to create an environment where students are less anonymous and it allowed our counselors to quickly get in and see the issues. The rubrics are a game changer feature for us, because so often when school districts don't use rubrics, grading is left to the teacher's own discretion and sometimes an A is not an A, because one teacher may have different requirements in his/her class than the teacher who's teaching right next door. We were the first school in our district to implement CYPHER at the time and it wasn't very easy because teachers are creatures of habit and when they use something that works for them they don't understand why there's a need for change. Now our culture has completely changed, we have called out CYPHER as our LMS and if we tried to take it away from teachers they would be enraged. “CYPHER has become our digital hub for everything we do, all our learning and teaching activities and resources are housed in CYPHER and teachers are using it to collaborate with each other across the district.” Santa Barbara Unified School District ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/academia/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Santa-Barbara-Unified-School-District.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

The certification is a reflection of the highest standards a provider can attain in the market, as Brandon Hall Group is a renowned professional development company with 30 years of experience. From our competency-based learning capabilities to our intuitive platform, Brandon Hall Group shared a few reasons why CYPHER stands out. “CYPHER Learning is disrupting the learning and development space by creating an intuitive, AI-powered platform that offers engaging content and measurable results.”*Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer, Brandon Hall Group* ## Here’s why CYPHER Learning stood out to Brandon Hall Group: ### Competency-based learning “This is a supercharged next-generation technology platform that rocks competency and skills-based learning.” Traditional uniform learning assumes that everyone learns the same. In reality, that’s just not the case. So, how do you create individualized courses for all different types of learners and ensure people fully grasp concepts before moving on? CYPHER makes it possible for your learners to achieve personalized skills growth with our competency-based learning. Using CYPHER Agent, you can create competency-mapped courses in under 10 minutes to allow for personalized learning at scale. With CYPHER, you can adapt to individuals needs and ensure they fully understand concepts without just clicking or flipping through material. ### Accuracy and precision “...delivers unparalleled accuracy and precision in learning.” Learning and development (L&D) professionals and educators are tasked with separating the knowledge they want their learners to absorb from the information that runs rampant on the Internet. Unpackaged or raw AI poses risks and makes that job harder because they give the user zero control over the sources of content. Using CYPHER Agent, you can actually upload your own content or link to third-party materials to completely control where your learners are getting information from. Create entire competency-mapped courses in minutes using your own PDF files, slide decks, videos, and more. ### Inspires learners “There is no possible way not to learn because the technology inspires learners.” CYPHER engages and excites learners through leveled-up gamification features like periodic leveling and leaderboards. Create friendly competition and make learning more enjoyable by teaming up learners to compete against others in their courses and learning paths. Plus, personalized learning that hones in on learners' unique interests and goals can make them feel more empowered and engaged in their learning journey. ### Intuitive for learners “Moving through the platform is intuitive and fast. The best way to describe the tech is to say it anticipates the moves of the learner. And it’s super powerful.” Learners don’t want to have to dig for information they need to know in an LMS. With CYPHER, they don’t have to. Our learner-centric approach ensures easy implementation with little to no learning curve. The CYPHER platform is virtually pleasing and keeps learners engaged. ### Intuitive for admins “CYPHER Learning is an admin’s dream. Forget the steep learning curve, this tech is as intuitive as it gets. This tech truly does save time and energy and is infinitely scalable.” CYPHER doesn’t require advanced coding to create great-looking training modules or in-depth reports. With 55 pre-built reports and custom options, you can easily track everything from module progress, to competency coverage, learner engagement, and more. Plus, CYPHER has over 1,000 integrations and can connect with your existing software so you don’t have to change what works for your organization.Learn more CYPHER Learning’s [Smartchoice Preferred Provider certification](https://brandonhall.com/cypher-learning-certified-as-smartchoice-preferred-provider-by-brandon-hall-group/).Did you know CYPHER Learning has received [more than 100 awards](/awards)?

They want all students in the classroom to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas without any fear or shame. A harmonious learner-educator relationship is also **crucial for academic achievement** and motivation. How can we create that close connection between teachers and students who learn online? Are there any specific rapport building activities we should rely on? Let’s explore a few ideas: 1. ### Use the force of eye During online lectures, you’re usually teaching a group of students, and you can’t establish eye with them. But you can **talk to the camera**. Look at the camera instead of the computer screen. Your students will perceive that you’re having a **more authentic conversation**. 2. ### Address individual students Focus on building rapport questions by **addressing each student individually during lectures**. But try not to overwhelm them! Make them feel comfortable. Leave some space for casual talk — it’s not part of the lesson, but it means a lot to your students. 3. ### Make sure students are comfortable with the online activities Ask each student if they have **access to a computer or a tablet** during the scheduled time. You shouldn’t make the answers public. If some of your students have difficulties accessing a device, ask if they can **follow recorded lectures**. If not, do your best to provide a tablet for them. 4. ### Start each online teaching session with a game You can use simple **rapport-building questions or even games** to make your students feel comfortable. For instance, you can ask them if they prefer football or basketball and then use the answers as votes and have a dedicated history lesson for the sport that most of them prefer. 5. ### Teach your students: There are no stupid questions The online teaching process makes it difficult to get your students to open up. Explain that there are no stupid questions. **Never underestimate the questions** you get. It means that you didn’t explain something well enough, so take the time to cover those aspects of the lesson. 6. ### Praise the results; not the individuals When you focus on the result instead of the person, you prove that **excellence can be achieved through hard work**. Anyone can make an effort to end up with a better outcome, and you should instill this belief in your students, in online and offline classes. 7. ### Let your students participate in the process Always have a **back-up plan** in case no one opens up, but allow your students to **make their suggestions**, no matter how silly they seem. Do they want to play Hangman online? That’s fun! Just make sure that everyone is into the activity and don’t make it mandatory.

With all of this change, How does your organization: - Maintain productivity in today’s remote and hybrid work environments? - Build proper competency across an organization? - Keep skills and skillsets current and simultaneously adapt to unpredictability and rapid change? Learning platform integration struggles are especially real for corporate trainers, who often must make order out of chaos while delivering a successful program, achieving results, and keeping employees engaged. These trainers rely on inflexible, legacy training technologies that can’t keep pace with changing business requirements, preferences and habits. Some have fallen so far behind, that they hinder learner and instructor productivity. CYPHER eases the struggle of integration and allows you new flexibility with Connect. To be effective, Learning and Development (L&D) needs a technology foundation that: - Easily adapts to the needs of the business, the trainer and the employees - Allows them to respond quickly to changing requirements and workflows, with minimal effort, - Seamlessly integrates into existing systems and workflows, from third-party content and communication to file-sharing and other apps, accessing data sets and capabilities that will enrich the learning experience and reflect the real-time needs of their employees. - Doesn't require an engineering degree or IT intervention. The good news is that there is a new breed of cloud-based learning platform that makes integration easier, saving companies time and money and, most importantly, delivering a highly adaptable, robust and modern corporate learning solution that is truly capable of delivering promise to unleash learning and employee potential.  ## Connecting for a richer learning experience Even for companies with robust employee training programs, keeping track of employee development is a tedious challenge. Synchronization between LMSs and common human resource (HR) solutions changes this, making it easier for supervisors and HR to track employee progress, comprehension, completion and engagement. For example, when a new employee is added to the human resources information system (HRIS), HR can automatically enroll them in an onboarding program at the same time, and eliminate the chance of someone falling through the cracks. When an employee completes an online training course, the milestone can be automatically recorded in the HRIS under that employee’s professional accomplishments. ## A simple integration makes it all possible Bi-directional communication between the two systems ensures L&D and HR functions are always synchronized in terms of employee progress across a professional development path. This view creates a more well-rounded view of the employee and provides management visibility into an organization’s overall skills inventory and level of employee engagement. While a simple integration makes it all possible, legacy LMS technologies weren’t designed to enable this degree of interconnectivity without huge investment of time and money on the part of the customer. It's also why CYPHER Learning takes a unique approach to platform integration, one that is winning over corporations of all sizes and changing perspectives on what’s possible via integration on a cloud-based platform. Connect integration allows you to: - Simplify workflow integration and enables you to seamlessly create workflows between the CYPHER platform and other enterprise applications including HRIS and CRMs. - Integrate with over 1,000+ SaaS applications, databases, AI services, API, and more ranging from simple actions to complex workflows. - Quickly create workflow integrations with a point-and-click graphical interface, and without requiring IT support or programmers to ensure that your data flows smoothly between applications based on your business scenarios. - Sync data, automate workflows, access web services, or integrate with messaging platforms and more. ## Integrations made simple with Connect by CYPHER CYPHER Learning customers already enjoy seamless and simple integration with hundreds of the most popular applications among training audiences, such as Google Drive, Microsoft 365, GoToMeeting and more. These API and Zapier-based integrations are all available via the App Center. *CYPHER App Center* Training organizations can easily customize their instance of the platform with hundreds of applets to add extended capabilities like dashboards, recommendation engines, e-commerce, collaboration and more. And they can enable or disable access based on program need – integrations are easy to install and configure, requiring no special technical or engineering skills. *Connect Community Library* Now enter Connect, a new capability on the cloud-based CYPHER Learning platform that provides comprehensive workflow integrations and lets organizations personalize L&D journeys based on department, function, tenure and more. Hundreds of workflow integrations are available via Connect, such as HRIS or CRM workflows. Trainers can create and deploy highly customized workflows with advanced automation that goes beyond simple if-then rules – rather, they can map out a sequence that says “if A and B, then C, then D,” and so on. For example, if an administrator adds a new employee to the HRIS and that employee’s account type is “Student,” the employee is automatically added to the LMS as “Learner” and then enrolled in an onboarding path complete with the associated personalized notifications. ## Open a world of possibilities with CYPHER integrations It’s imperative to find solutions that free your organization to deliver the most impactful learning experiences possible, quickly and easily. The versatility of Connect enables training organizations to integrate applications and workflows from simple to complex, allowing companies of all sizes and across industries to navigate integrations between their various internal systems and other third-party sources with minimal effort. Seamless integrations like Connect help you to quickly create a positive and productive work environment for everyone.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Needed a program that could scale with their online programs as they continued grow - Maintaining compliance with evolving educational standards and integrating diverse learning activities - Prioritized a system that would support interactive features to foster meaningful student engagement Prior to implementing CYPHER, we faced several key pain points that were hindering our success and limiting our ability to deliver a high-quality educational experience. Our initial e-learning setup, reliant on local servers, presented **significant scalability limitations**. Early iterations of our online platform were essentially file-sharing systems, resulting in **low participation** and a **less-than-optimal learning experience**. Additionally, keeping our faculty up-to-date with rapidly changing e-learning technologies required significant ongoing training and development efforts. ## The solution - Features boost student engagement and performance - Gamification increased engagement for both students and faculty - Data-driven insights optimize learning outcomes Prior to CYPHER Learning, our learning environment lacked the interactive and engaging elements necessary to truly motivate and inspire our learners. Now, thanks to CYPHER Learning, we've created a dynamic and effective learning ecosystem. ### Features We've observed a **strong positive correlation** between the use of specific CYPHER Learning features and**improved student performance**. Features like forums, embedded photos in lessons, essay and dropbox assessments, and digital badges have proven particularly valuable. These tools not only **boost engagement** but also serve as reliable predictors of higher grades and **improved learning outcomes**. This data-driven insight allows us to **continuously refine** our pedagogical approaches and **optimize the learning experience**. One of the most impactful changes has been the implementation of site-wide gamification for faculty training. By grouping departments into teams and awarding experience points (XP) and badges for completing training paths, we've created a **healthy competitive environment**that has **dramatically increased faculty participation in professional development.** The leaderboard feature, in particular, has proven to be a powerful motivator. Department chairs, seeing their team's ranking, actively encourage their faculty to complete training, driving a culture of continuous improvement. This simple yet effective gamification strategy has had **a "priceless" impact on our faculty development initiatives**. This has ensured our faculty are effectively utilizing the platform, maximizing its value for our students. CYPHER has provided us with **valuable data and insights into learner behavior and performance**. This data-driven approach allows us to continuously refine our learning and training processes, ensuring we are **maximizing the platform's potential** and delivering the **best possible learning experience**. “By leveraging CYPHER Learning features, we've not only improved learning outcomes but also fostered a more engaging and motivating learning environment for both students and faculty.” Roland Lorenzo Ruben, Professor ## The results - Seamless integration into teaching processes with 100% faculty adoption - Key features had a measurable impact on student engagement - Grades improved overall as a result of using CYPHER Since implementing CYPHER, we've seen measurable improvements across key areas, directly contributing to a more effective and engaging learning environment. **Productivity - Near-universal faculty adoption & continuous development** We’ve achieved near-universal faculty adoption of the CYPHER Learning platform, with nearly **100% of faculty actively using it** since the reased efficiency in course management, communication, and assessment. **Learner engagement - High-impact features driving positive experiences** Our data reveals consistently high ratings for the impact of key CYPHER Learning features on learning. On a scale of 1 to 5, features like discussions, quizzes, and essays received mean ratings of 4.57, 4.54, and 4.51, respectively. The overall mean rating for the impact of CYPHER Learning features on learning is a strong 4.19, indicating a **highly positive impact on the student learning experience**. This demonstrates that CYPHER Learning is not just a platform, but **a catalyst for meaningful engagement**. **Performance - Measurable improvements in learning outcomes & grades** Perhaps the most compelling evidence of the impact of CYPHER Learning is the measurable improvement in student performance. The platform’s effectiveness in achieving learning outcomes received a high mean rating of 4.40. Furthermore, rigorous regression analysis (R Square = 0.733) demonstrates a **strong positive correlation** between the use of specific CYPHER Learning features (forums, embedded photos, essays, dropbox assessments, and badges) and **improved student grades**. This strong predictive power confirms that the platform is directly contributing to student success. **Positive user experience & high satisfaction** We've also measured the overall user experience with CYPHER Learning using the Net Promoter Score (NPS). Our score of +31 indicates a positive user experience and high satisfaction among our users, reflecting the platform's user-friendliness and its positive impact on the overall learning environment. This is particularly important as a positive user experience encourages **continued engagement and adoption**. CYPHER Learning has not just changed how we teach; it has **transformed what our learners are capable of achieving**. By fostering critical thinking, digital fluency, collaboration, and enhanced knowledge retention, CYPHER Learning has **empowered our learners to excel academically** and develop the essential skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. “In today’s digital world, CYPHER Learning is the Way.

Sin embargo, es un proceso que no puede darse sin una retroalimentación adecuada, que es el atributo de quienes enseñan. Nuestros estudiantes necesitan que los guiemos a lo largo de su proceso de aprendizaje y les ofrezcamos retroalimentación en cada una de las etapas que transitan. En un entorno presencial, la retroalimentación es fácil y rápida, lo que permite que los estudiantes puedan regular su proceso de aprendizaje con mayor rapidez y mejorar su nivel de conocimientos y retención desde el punto de vista académico. Por el contrario, como docente, creo que esta tarea en un entorno digital es menos simple y eficaz. Por ello, he estado indagando sobre algunas herramientas en línea que me ayuden a brindar a mis estudiantes la retroalimentación que necesitan, en el momento en que la necesitan y en una variedad de formatos que tendrán un mejor impacto en ellos. ## 5 herramientas digitales para las retroalimentaciones a estudiantes La curva de aprendizaje de los estudiantes está directamente asociada con el tipo de retroalimentación que reciben. La retroalimentación en línea puede darse en un formato escrito, de audio o de video. Como profesores, debemos intentar que las retroalimentaciones logren que los estudiantes dejen de lado su rol como receptores pasivos de información y tomen un rol como aprendices activos, aun cuando esto suponga recurrir a herramientas de tecnología educativa con las que no estamos familiarizados. A continuación, incluiré cinco herramientas digitales para las retroalimentaciones a estudiantes que tienen el potencial de empoderarlos y ayudarlos a evolucionar: 1. ### Kaizena [Kaizena](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaizena-web-app/lhiccpgcnopcjjdobhoddnplkebplfaj?hl=en) es un complemento de Google Docs que incluye habilidades, lecciones y comentarios de voz. Permite resaltar y grabar un comentario de voz sin abandonar la página de Google Docs. Además, se logra mayor eficiencia con la función de Lecciones si se adjuntan las retroalimentaciones guardadas previamente. Por si esto fuera poco, cualquier colaborador de Google Docs puede brindar una retroalimentación en Kaizena. Asimismo, los profesores pueden tener un seguimiento del progreso de sus estudiantes usando la función Habilidades. Los estudiantes ahora pueden solicitar una retroalimentación de partes específicas de su texto. El profesor recibirá una notificación para volver a ingresar al documento y dar aclaraciones. Los estudiantes podrán responder dicha retroalimentación a través de mensajes escritos o de voz. 2. ### Audacity [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/) es una plataforma de fuente abierta que permite grabar y editar retroalimentaciones antes de compartirlas con los estudiantes. Las retroalimentaciones en formato de audio son productivas para los profesores, ya que pueden hacerlas más rápidamente y los estudiantes se benefician de su carácter auténtico, oportuno y personalizado. Las retroalimentaciones en formato de audio le permiten conectarse con sus estudiantes de manera similar que en las clases presenciales. Los estudiantes escucharán su voz y entenderán las sutilezas implicadas en el tono utilizado. Siempre y cuando no se enfoque solo en las retroalimentaciones negativas, sus intervenciones tendrán el resultado esperado. 3. ### Screencastify [Screencastify](https://www.screencastify.com/) es un programa de grabación de pantalla en la nube que facilita el proceso de retroalimentación. Puede crear presentaciones de pantalla de los trabajos de sus estudiantes y grabarse haciendo comentarios sobre estos. También puede crear videos mientras revisa los trabajos de sus estudiantes e ir aportando comentarios al respecto. También puede usar la herramienta de anotación para dirigir el enfoque a un aspecto específico. Si bien el uso de Screencastify requiere un poco más de tiempo, la carga de trabajo es razonable si se la compara con los beneficios que brinda. Puede servir de modelo de diversas maneras de mejora que los estudiantes podrán internalizar a su ritmo volviendo a ver los videos cada vez que lo necesiten. Además, las retroalimentaciones en video pueden servir de aprendizaje guiado en el que usted definirá una ruta y les permitirá a los estudiantes corregir sus errores, tomando las riendas de su proceso de aprendizaje. Con los videos, podrá ofrecer retroalimentaciones diferenciadas y mayor claridad. Las retroalimentaciones escritas pueden, por momentos, ser engañosas y puede que los estudiantes no entiendan sus puntos de vista. Por el contrario, las retroalimentaciones en video son claras y se centran en aspectos específicos que son más fáciles de seguir y entender. Así, los estudiantes pueden realizar los cambios necesarios para mejorar su trabajo en general. También puede compartir recursos y explicaciones adicionales en estos videos. 4. ### Vocaroo [Vocaroo](https://vocaroo.com/) es un grabador de voz web en línea que no requiere la creación de un perfil de usuario o un sistema de inicio de sesión. Puede hacer una grabación y compartir el enlace en una plataforma de su preferencia. Esta herramienta es fácil de usar y demanda menos tiempo que el clásico papel y bolígrafo rojo. Puede hacer grabaciones de audio para ofrecer retroalimentaciones personalizadas y mantenerse en o con sus estudiantes. Su uso no demanda mucho tiempo, ya que, por lo general, hablamos más rápido de lo que escribimos. Los estudiantes pueden guardar los enlaces para volver a acceder a las retroalimentaciones cuando lo deseen y así profundizar sus conocimientos. 5. ### Talk and Comment [Talk and Comment](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/talk-and-comment-voice-no/djnhkfljnimcpelfndpcjcgngmefaobl?hl=es) es una extensión de Chrome que permite grabar notas de voz y hacer comentarios en cualquier sitio. Puede grabar su voz usando el widget de su buscador y pegar el enlace generado en donde desee. Con esta función, puede brindar retroalimentaciones personalizadas mientras lee los trabajos de sus estudiantes. Es más rápido que corregir tareas en papel. Además, cuando los estudiantes reciben retroalimentaciones oportunas, entienden mejor y logran involucrarse más en las tareas. ## En conclusión Las retroalimentaciones son uno de los superpoderes de los profesores. No hay aprendizaje sin un proceso de retroalimentaciones que lo acompañe. Cuando los estudiantes reciben retroalimentaciones oportunas y personalizadas, logran tomar conciencia de su nivel de conocimientos y desempeño y de los aspectos que deben mejorar. Los profesores deben ser los pilares en los que los estudiantes puedan apoyarse a lo largo de su recorrido de prueba y error. La tecnología educativa permite que este proceso sea más rápido y eficaz, lo que ayuda a los estudiantes a evolucionar y alcanzar sus metas.

Sales enablement training empowers your team to engage with customers more effectively, hone their skills, and ultimately close more deals. Finding the right solution for your sales team isn’t easy though.Are you struggling to… Juggle a loaded tech stack that overcomplicates and under delivers on sales enablement training Analyze the ROI and other meaningful metrics connected to sales enablement training Ensure sales teams have the skills necessary to excel at their jobs Quickly create engaging training programs specifically tailored to individual goals Translate courses in multiple languages while maintaining meaning and localization ## Build a revenue-pumping sales machine with a powerful LMS for sales enablement Salespeople do it all. They manage customer relationships, persuade prospects, battle the competition, and serve as brand ambassadors all while building pipelines, meeting quotas, and generating revenue. To be successful, they need the support of a strong, ongoing sales enablement program. For learners to get the most out of their training, it must be relevant and personalized for their language, learning styles, schedules, sales methodologies, and expertise. It’s not just internal sales teams that benefit from a good sales enablement strategy. Channel partners and their sales teams need similar support if they’re going to successfully sell your products and represent your brand. This is where the right learning platform comes in, one that inspires and engages learners, ensuring that they not only embrace the material – but also retain and master it. If your sales reps don’t feel they’re learning and growing, you’re at risk of losing upwards of 60% of your entire workforce within four years.

[CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) ## Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach In too many companies, sales enablement and sales training are limited to a series of communications with links to quickly outdated PDFs and presentations on a server – which sales representatives often ignore or just give a cursory once-over due to their busy schedules. For those companies using a traditional sales training LMS platform, the outcome isn’t much better given the rigid nature of the system and lackluster content delivery that fails to engage the learner. CYPHER is revolutionizing the way companies conduct channel and sales enablement. It empowers trainers to build effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content, and advanced analytics – all geared toward helping sales teams and channel partners achieve mastery-level proficiency in your sales processes, methodologies, products and services, and more. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER One-size-fits-all approach that fails to consider the sales representative’s progress Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure your sales representatives understand and can prove mastery of your sales process, messaging, products and services You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allow you to get sales enablement training up and running faster – with less people and money Rigid, static content formats that leave sales and channel teams bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive engagement and retention of information that is vital to sales productivity and closing deals Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics empower you to track learner progress, identify costly gaps in your sales team’s knowledge base, and flag opportunities for improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut sales enablement course creation to minutes - allowing you to update and disseminate information just in time Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific sales enablement topics so you can easily understand what sales representatives know or need to learn Minimal collaboration Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate peer discussions and group exercises that help unify sales and channels teams, while drive understanding and mastery of sales-essential subjects ## A modern learning platform that revolutionizes sales enablement See how the CYPHER platform can skyrocket your sales enablement program: ### Create sales enablement courses fast #### POWERFUL COURSES With CYPHER, sales enablement course creation is quick and simple so you can keep your sales reps and channel partners current – from the latest products and services to competition and pricing.

But too often, the results from so much in-depth training fall short. That’s where performance-based training (PBT) comes in—a fresh approach that shifts the focus from theory to real-world skills, knowledge, and application. By prioritizing tangible skill-building and measurable results, PBT transforms training into a powerful tool that pushes workplaces toward innovation and high performance. For L&D professionals and corporate leaders, a performance-based approach bridges the gap between traditional learning and real-world business outcomes (think revenue, sales, and team culture).  Want to make sure your training methodology truly delivers? In this post, we’ll examine PBT and its benefits and introduce actionable steps for when you’re ready to launch. ## What is performance-based training? (PBT) Performance-based training is a learning approach that prioritizes developing [practical skills directly tied to job performance](/solutions/employee-training). Performance-based learning is a strategy that aligns employee training with specific performance needs, using data-driven methods to personalize learning experiences. PBT differs from traditional training by emphasizing measurable outcomes and skills that you can demonstrate on the spot, after in-depth practice. Instead of focusing on theory or broad concepts, it prepares employees with the tools needed to perform specific tasks effectively. For example, instead of a generic course on customer service principles, PBT could involve role-playing exercises to improve customer call handling or simulations to address client complaints. **The goal isn’t just increased knowledge—it’s improved outcomes, like higher customer satisfaction ratings or reduced handling time**. ### Why is PBT important? PBT’s relevance in the modern market comes from a need to align training with tangible business outcomes. Believe it or not, there can be a significant gap between the two ideals. As [Anya Libus shares](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anya-libus-5a7b6a14/): “...despite this significant investment, only [10%](https://hbr.org/2022/07/build-learning-into-your-employees-workflow) of all spending in Learning and Development (L&D) programmes is reported to yield meaningful results. One of the reasons is that knowing how to do things does not automatically mean that we do them. Traditional approaches often overlook the mindset shifts and empowerment needed to transform knowledge into action.” Organizations don’t invest in [employee training](/blog/business/practical-employee-training-tips-a-guide-to-defining-your-corporate-training-experience) simply because they want to pat themselves on the back. By focusing on essential skills and minimizing irrelevant material, PBT helps manage training costs effectively, ensuring that training investments deliver measurable value. **The bottom line: PBT assures stakeholders that learning programs deliver measurable value, making them more strategic and impactful.** ## Benefits of performance-based training in your organization Integrating learning and development practices into performance-based training (PBT) offers several advantages your team won’t want to miss. Here’s a preview: ### 1. Improved employee performance With PBT, employees receive training tailored to specific roles. When employees move into managerial roles, they may need additional training to enhance their leadership skills, which encourages a smoother transition and better performance in their new responsibilities. When learning directly addresses the tasks employees perform, outcomes like faster decision-making, better service delivery, and more creative problem-solving naturally follow. #### How CYPHER delivers CYPHER Learning helps learning and development leaders quickly create highly individualized courses for employee training needs. **In as little as ten minutes, you can build a robust course or module that helps your people level up**. ### 2. Increased ROI on training materials and investments Traditional training often struggles to showcase a clear return on investment (ROI). PBT’s focus on measurable outcomes ensures that the impact of training—be it financial gains or operational efficiencies—can be directly linked to organizational goals, justifying the investment. #### How CYPHER delivers The CYPHER platform is the only one on the market that combines three powerful components: an LMS, LXP, and course development. **When combined with the power of generative AI, you can deliver a modern training experience at a fraction of the resource cost**. ### 3. Higher engagement and participation Employees are more motivated when they see the direct relevance of training content to their daily tasks. By emphasizing real-world applications and incorporating personalized training activities, PBT fosters active participation and keeps learners invested in the outcome. #### How CYPHER delivers With CYPHER, you’ll build [courses for individual learning](/solutions/skills-development). Even if the “old” training method focuses on the idea, the modern approach focuses on the person. **CYPHER is built around human connection as a way to make training communal, collaborative, and social**. ### 4. Clear evaluation metrics PBT uses clear metrics to track progress and measure success. Things like performance reviews and productivity goals help show what’s working and where there’s room to improve. This makes it easier to reinforce learning and ensure employees can use their new skills without missing a beat. #### How CYPHER delivers Leaders need user-friendly tools that support assessment, review, and evaluation. With CYPHER, you’ll unlock [assessment features](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation) like rubrics, mastery grids, time trackers, and in-depth reporting options. ## How to implement PBT within your team Implementing PBT requires careful planning and execution. To effectively deliver learning modules, it is crucial to adapt training delivery methods to meet individual learning styles and needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide: ### 1. Conduct a needs analysis to identify skills gaps Start by identifying performance gaps and aligning training objectives with business goals. For example, you could start with an honest look at the following questions: - Are sales teams struggling to close deals? Focus on negotiation skills. - Are IT teams lagging behind in addressing system inefficiencies? Introduce training on troubleshooting methodologies and new skills to bridge these gaps. ### 2. Develop targeted training programs Create content specifically tailored to address the identified skill gaps. Use diverse formats like on-the-job training, e-learning modules, and interactive workshops to cater to different learning styles. Leverage a mobile or desktop platform that utilizes data-driven algorithms and machine learning to analyze employee performance and recommend personalized training activities, effectively placing employee performance at the core of the learning strategy. ### 3. Use technology to your advantage Leverage a Learning Management Systems (LMS) to streamline training delivery and progress tracking. Advanced analytics tools and adaptive learning platforms can also personalize training experiences by recommending personalized training activities tailored to individual needs for greater impact. ### 4. Evaluate and iterate Training is not a one-and-done process. Continuously revisit outcomes to ensure goals are being met through performance training, which includes practical techniques and skill development aligned with business objectives. Use performance data to refine and improve programs for future iterations. ## Best practices for training development Developing effective training programs requires careful planning, execution, and evaluation. Plus, aligning your training needs with business goals can help guarantee that your training programs are as productive as possible. Here are a few learner-forward practices to consider as you build your gameplan: - **Set clear objectives** – Define what trainees should know or do by the end of the program to ensure focus and alignment with goals. - **Incorporate active learning** – Include hands-on exercises, group discussions, or case studies to keep participants engaged and improve retention. - **Tailor to your audience** – Customize content to match skill levels, roles, and learning preferences for a more effective experience. - **Provide practical takeaways** – Focus on skills and knowledge trainees can apply immediately in their day-to-day work. - **Evaluate and refine** – Use feedback and performance metrics to continuously improve the training program. ## Tackling challenges in performance-based training While PBT has plenty of perks, putting it into action can come with its challenges. By honing in on the skills that your employees truly need, you’ll be able to nix information that’s not as relevant to your big picture goals. Plus, you can save more time and keep training costs in check. Here’s how to tackle a few predictable roadblocks or common hurdles along the way: ### Hurdle 1: Resistance to change Employees or managers may hesitate to adopt a new training model. Use clear communication to highlight how corporate training, especially performance-based training, benefits individuals and the organization. Pilot programs can also demonstrate its effectiveness. ### Hurdle 2: Corporate time constraints Balancing training with job responsibilities can be tricky. Consider microlearning—short, focused learning sessions—and flexible, self-paced modules to support the learning process and reduce disruption. ### Hurdle 3: Murky measures of success Defining the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is critical. Use metrics tightly aligned with organizational goals, such as increased sales, improved efficiency, or reduced error rates through performance based learning. ### Hurdle 4: Limited resource allocation For organizations with limited budgets, scalability may seem daunting. Start small by focusing on high-impact areas with a well-defined training strategy, and then gradually expand the program as results come to life. ## The future of performance-based training PBT is poised to reshape learning and development. From experience, we know and have seen how PBT is already integrating with modern training technologies and adapting to meet evolving workforce needs, including remote and hybrid work. Other trends to look out for include: - **AI-driven analytics**: Use artificial intelligence to predict skill gaps and personalize training content. - **Gamification**: Boost engagement with interactive and game-like training elements. (Looking for a place to start? [Gamification](/tour/gamification) is baked into the CYPHER experience to give your learners a transformational, and fun, learning experience.) - **Adaptive learning**: Tailor content delivery in real-time based on individual learner progress and needs, fostering a culture of continuous learning that rewards skill development. Organizations that stay ahead of such trends will be better equipped to leverage PBT for sustained success. ## Own your performance learning plan—starting today Performance-based training helps organizations achieve measurable results while building a skilled, capable workforce.

Private Label Rights pros and cons for online course creators August 16, 2022 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/entrepreneurs/author/cypher) 5 minutes read As an online course creator, you may wonder, “What is PLR?” since you’ve probably heard somewhere that it’s a fast and easy solution for content creation. Private Label Rights (PLR) content is content you can buy and then change it and add your company’s branding before making it available to your learners. Some examples of this type of digital marketing content are curriculum, articles, e-books, white papers or other reports, templates, printables, and videos. ## What is PLR? Differences between Private Label Content (PLR), Resell Rights (RR), and Master Resell Rights (MRR) Of course, to truly understand what PLR is, you should also know the difference between PLR and other types of content.  Private Label Rights (PLR) differ from Resell Rights (RR) or Master Resell Rights (MRR). With Resell Rights (RR), the only thing you can do with the content is use it or sell it exactly as is. You cannot alter it, and you cannot sell any rights to it. With Master Resell Rights (MRR), you can use the content, sell it, or sell the rights to it (“right to sell”), but as with Resell Rights (RR), you cannot alter the content or brand it with your own company info. The only type of content you can alter and brand with your own company info is PLR content, which is the primary advantage of investing in it. ## The pros of using Private Label Rights (PLR) content You may invest in PLR content because of the benefits of time and cost savings compared to writing all content from scratch or hiring a writer to create each piece of content. In addition, using PLR content can be a great way to add new areas of expertise to an online course or to create a lead magnet for marketing. ### Time savings As a course creator, your time is your most valuable and scarce resource; buying PLR content is a way to save time. Particularly for anyone who suffers writer’s block, it is often easier to edit content than to start with a blank page. When used as an outline for your eventual product, PLR content gives you a starting point, and then you can improve it by personalizing it for your audience. ### Cost savings An advantage of PLR content is that purchasing it is usually less expensive than hiring a writer to create custom content because PLR content creators rely on scale to make a profit. It may be a surprise how PLR content creators can make money selling their work for such low prices (sometimes just pennies!), but since they are selling it to so many people, it can still be lucrative for them to sell PLR content. ### New expertise PLR content is useful if you want to offer your learners information in an area where you don’t already have expertise. Instead of taking the time to master a whole new subject and then create content it, you can gain new knowledge at the same time as your learners by reviewing content created by subject experts in the new area. For example, your course may have strong content stress management for new parents, but you want to add content stress management for parents of toddlers, so relying on an expert development psychology of toddlers can be a quick way to add a whole other source of help for your audience. ### Marketing Some course creators use PLR content to create a free giveaway product, a lead magnet, as a marketing tool to create interest in their paid online course and to build their customer list for email marketing. Since the free product doesn’t directly yield a profit per sale but is a tool for increasing brand awareness, using low-cost PLR content can be a fast and smart way to get a good return on investment for the purchase. Some ideas for a free giveaway are digital downloads, a podcast episode, or a [mini-course](/resources/brochures/business/create-market-sell-courses-on-the-cypher-platform). Some innovative content marketing ideas that are less often used are [guestographics, instructographics, and storyboards](https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2021/11/fresh-content-types-marketer-consider/). This content still needs to be personalized and high quality, because for many prospective learners, this will be their first introduction to your course creator brand. ## Cons of using Private Label Rights (PLR) content Before using PLR content, course creators will need to choose a strategy for addressing the potential cons of buying this type of content. These cons include low-quality PLR, content that is sold to too many people who might not customize it, the possible gamble of purchasing PLR content that cannot be previewed, and the potential for plagiarism or infringement. ### Generic content PLR content creators intentionally design the content to be general and vague to make it attractive to a wide variety of customers, and this means you must tailor the content to your own audience of learners to make it useful. Because some course creators don’t take sufficient time to make the content their own, PLR content has the reputation of being unhelpful and of inferior quality. Your comfort level with customizing different content will determine which types of PLR content are the best for you. Some course creators are skilled at editing written content, but others have less expertise or fewer software tools to edit audio or video, so that’s an important consideration in deciding what type of PLR content to buy. ### Poor sales and customer service policies Some PLR content sellers will only sell PLR content in a bundle where you can’t see what you are purchasing before you pay for it, and some of these sellers have return and refund policies that aren’t friendly to the purchaser. Unless the price is so low that you can afford to take the risk even if the content turns out to be unusable for your online course, this type of PLR content offering is probably not the best option. ### SEO concerns Because PLR content creators sell the same content to many buyers, Google can flag it as duplicate content. While SEO experts say duplicate content may no [longer ruin your website’s search engine optimization (SEO)](https://neilpatel.com/blog/myths--duplicate-content/) as content marketers once thought it did, Google still advises [to avoid duplicate content](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/guidelines/duplicate-content). This is another reason you must customize PLR content for your learners instead of offering it “off the shelf” without modification. ## and plagiarism problems Besides the PLR content cons described above, the most serious potential problems of PLR content are and plagiarism. Some of these problems are easily avoidable, and some are trickier to prevent. The avoidable case is when a course creator purchases PLR content from an unknown seller and does no research on where the content might also appear online. Sometimes duplicate content happens because someone didn’t change it sufficiently, but other times, there is intentional plagiarism. To avoid plagiarism when you use PLR content,  you can use plagiarism checking software. Some trustworthy software companies integrate plagiarism checkers into their products. For example, grammar checking software programs include plagiarism checking. Just be careful using free plagiarism checkers online because some plagiarism checking companies store your content to use or sell for their own purposes. This [guide to evaluating plagiarism detection tools and software](https://essayscam.org/truth-plagiarism-detection-tools/) says for each plagiarism tool you are considering using, read their , , Frequently Asked Questions, Support Forums, Warnings, and Disclaimers. The important information pertains to their policies around data protection, licensing, scanning and storage of your submitted content, limits on liability, and the governing privacy laws of the country where the company is based. Other places to research plagiarism checkers are [customer review sites](https://blog.hubspot.com/service/customer-review-sites) that don’t use affiliate marketing that could influence the ratings. Search for the name of the tool you are evaluating. Next is the more challenging part. If you purchase PLR content from a seller that grants you the right to resell the content and the to it, you trust the seller has the legal standing to sell you the content and rights. If they do not, and you use the content, you are liable even if your mistake was an honest one. Since you are relying on the integrity of the seller, the safest strategy is to ask other course creators and digital entrepreneurs if they know of an ethical PLR source. ## Making Private Label Rights (PLR) content relevant to your learners The best way to distinguish your content from generic PLR content is to personalize it to the learning objectives of your audience. Adding content and examples from your own knowledge of the subject and experiences with your learners will differentiate your content from any other content a reader could find online. People learn well from stories, so adding case studies people who have successfully navigated the same challenges as your learners will make your content more engaging and memorable. Doing this also helps decrease the risks of plagiarism discussed above. It may be an excellent decision to use PLR content, but only if you buy it from a trustworthy source and do a great job personalizing it for your audience of learners.

I started to use [Nearpod](https://nearpod.com/) as a complex tool where I could create complete lessons in my classes. That experience was new to my students and me, but it has opened a new door, or window, to the world outside. The platform’s features allowed me to introduce 360-degree virtual trips in class activities, which increased student engagement in my classes. This has shown me that there’s an interest in such activities in my lessons, so I started to explore more tools and resources online that could help me offer my students different learning experiences. ## Ditch that textbook While browsing through an enormous pool of virtual field trips available online, I came across a website called [Ditch that Textbook](https://ditchthattextbook.com/). To my surprise, it is a very well-organized website that walks you through [eight major virtual field trip categories](https://ditchthattextbook.com/virtual-field-trips/#tve-jump-1785a898cbe) with multiple examples and direct links to the tools for each: 1. **National Parks** — Yosemite, Kenai Fjords, Hawai’i Volcanoes, Carlsbad Caverns, Bryce Canyon, Dry Tortugas, Gombe Tanzania, National Park Service, California Ports; 2. **Space** — The National Air and Space Museum, The International Space Station, NASA, Access Mars, Hubble Control Center, Kennedy Space Center; 3. **Famous Landmarks** — the Pyramids of Giza, the Taj Mahal, Mt.

Cross-train them. That’s right. Cross-training employees can take an unproductive, way-less-than-satisfied workforce and turn it into a happy, high-achieving one. All of your employees could benefit from a chance to take their skills, voices, and experience to the next level. But your company can also evolve when they take advantage of the opportunity to cross-train in another position. So, without further ado, let’s talk cross-training employees. ## Five reasons why cross-training employees is a good idea If you need a more convincing, business-related reason to cross-train your employees, you’re in luck. We’ve got five: 1. ### Ease employees into more responsibilities Ever connected with one of your employees and thought, “They’re ready for more?” Whether it was what they told you in that conversation or watching them improve over time, you notice when an employee is ready to move up. You may not have an open position just yet, but you still want to start developing them for the next level. That’s where cross-training comes in. You can use it to guide employees into more responsibilities. More responsibilities for your employees can lead to their continued advancement with your company. Their professional network gets more extensive. And they’ll get to challenge themselves and hone new skills. Additionally, it can help your company save time and money recruiting and onboarding new employees because you can first turn to internal employees for open positions. 2. ### Get comfortable with growth More responsibilities also lead to growth. The chance to experience all departments and gain skills for upward mobility enables employees to get comfortable with growing into themselves. For example, let's say one of your best employees is an introvert. They may not be the loudest in the room, but they’re incredibly productive and have some of the most solid relationships with their coworkers. In this case, you can [ease your introverted employee into a leadership role](https://www.atera.com/blog/how-to-be-a-successful-team-leader-as-an-introvert/) with cross-training. First, allow them to shadow someone in [a more forward-facing leadership position](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/leadership-priorities/) to learn things at their pace. Then, let them put what they’ve learned into practice until they’re ready to pursue an open leadership position in the company. Growth by way of cross-training can inspire a flexible work environment, too. Flexible work environments are critical for company success because they foster creativity, diversity, and open-mindedness. All of which are necessary to be a forward-thinking company. Ultimately, your employees can get comfortable with growth thanks to cross-training, and so can your company. 3. ### Foster genuine employee relationships How many different personalities are in your company? All, we’re sure, are interesting and integral to making your business the well-oiled machine that it is. That said, it’s just as essential to ensure personalities mesh for effective communication and collaboration company-wide. Cross-training your employees can position them to get to know team members in every department. They can get to know each other and get a feel for each other’s personalities. The more they work together, the more authentic their relationships become, making the meshing of personalities much easier. Fostering genuine relationships is essential to your company’s operation. However, too much friction among employees can lead to a disruption in your team’s workflow. When one employee is off their game, it affects the entire team’s functionality. On the other hand, when employees work well together, they bring out the best in each other. Managers can then make the most out of their team’s skill set. 4. ### Enhance individual performance Cross-training your employees can absolutely grow your team relationships and performance. But, at the same time, it enhances each employee’s performance. Cross-training has a way of making employees feel valued. It has a way of getting employees to think higher of themselves and their capabilities at work. It’s also responsible for more engaged, enthusiastic employees when done right. [Their mindsets become more agile](/blog/business/cultivate-an-agile-mindset/), too. Better individual performances lead to better collective production. Any company can benefit from that, right? Read more: [What organizations need to do for better career development](/blog/business/what-organizations-need-to-do-for-better-career-development/) 5. ### Gain more respect for leadership Lastly, [when companies prioritize cross-training](https://www.aihr.com/blog/cross-training-employees/), it communicates to employees that they matter to the organization. You appreciate and believe in them so much that you’re willing to back them with training opportunities so they can continue to grow. Cross-training your employees is beneficial for your company because it inspires more respect for the leaders in your business. If your employees lack respect for your leaders, they won’t follow them. And you need your employees to let your leaders guide them to keep structure and organization at the forefront of your operation. Your leadership team has to show that they care rather than just say it. Being intentional getting employees cross-trained is a big step in that direction. ## Best practices for cross-training employees? Although many [companies fail at training](/blog/business/employee-training-fails/) their employees, we will do our best to ensure yours doesn’t. Follow these best practices to [implement cross-training](https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/cross-training.htm) in your organization: - Have an initial conversation with each employee why cross-training is a good thing for them and the company; - Spend time understanding each employee’s skill set, interests, and abilities before deciding on who will cross-train and where; - Create a plan for how you’re going to cross-train your employees, including details such as when cross-training will take place, where, and with what method; - Allow employees to work the role they’re cross-trained in at least once a month to keep what they’ve learned top of mind; - Follow up with employees their progress and get their feedback on the cross-training process overall. Start cross-training your employees today. Your company will thank you for it.

We live in a time when everyone strives to become a better version of themselves and the possibilities for doing that are highly accessible. If you want to **create and sell your own online course**, it’s a good time to do so. However, since you’re not the only one aware of the opportunity, you’ll need to learn a few things online sales. One of the most important things is to **set up a sales funnel**, which is the process of **leading customers** — from the first time they become aware of a solution to the part where they come back to buy more courses. As a general blueprint for setting up a sales funnel, here are **four basic steps** to follow: 1. ### Identify your client persona A successful marketing strategy is always aimed at the **right audience**. Aspects such as client demographics, interests, leisure time, their preferred ways of communication and their online behavior are relevant to you as an entrepreneur. Getting as much information as possible allows you to craft the **ideal client persona**. 2. ### Find a good hook Your intended audience is surrounded by many other marketers trying to win them over so you have to stand out. In other words, your **brand’s story** has to “hook” visitors. It has to be entertaining and relevant enough to keep people reading (or watching). 3. ### Craft an awesome landing page This is the point where it stops being a “chance meeting” online and becomes a relationship. Your landing page needs to **spark their interest** and convince them to leave their email address, connect with you on social media or enroll in a course. 4. ### Make the sale It’s good to have an **automated emailing system** in place and gradually work toward **making your offer**. Once you send it, put an expiration date on it – offering a discount or some special bonus for a limited time will create a sense of urgency and increase the chances of closing a sale. You can also send them additional free materials to entice them to buy more. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs.

Yet, teachers and school systems have lacked the resources to deliver the personalized and collaborative learning experiences students need to thrive, at scale. In any given classroom, the variability in how students learn has made it difficult, if not impossible, to ensure they’re actually retaining lessons. Digital transformation efforts, while well-intended, have only exacerbated the problem as – to date – they haven’t allowed for personalized online learning paths or the ability to meaningfully connect students and teachers, which leaves too many students struggling in silence. Teachers and students deserve better. They deserve a modern learning platform K-12 designed for personalized, competency-based learning experiences at scale. A platform that leverages innovations like AI and gamification to empower teachers to design lesson plans that inspire their students and make them *want* to learn. Most importantly, they deserve a learning platform that leaves no student behind and helps teachers and parents ensure students are progressing and excelling at every turn. That platform is CYPHER Learning. Pre-pandemic, a typical 5th-grade classroom could include students working at seven different grade levels, from 3rd grade to high school – which has likely expanded.

In minutes. **CYPHER Agent** on the CYPHER platform can supercharge the development of K-12 curriculums and content – empowering you to deliver robust new courses *fast* and ensuring that course material engages and inspires your students. *Imagine* building competency-based, gamified, personalized content in just minutes! **This lets you:** - Create highly personalized courses - using your own uploaded content from sources of your choosing - and launch it just in time! - Control your content’s quality, accuracy, and credibility - Ensure subject-matter proficiency for every student, at scale [CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) ## AI-powered personalized learning ## Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach The statistics speak for themselves: *Today’s K-12 students are expected to have a low learning retention rate, such as 2% to 3%, in the year 2023* (Nutmeg Education). That’s because teachers and students are plagued with antiquated learning management systems that assume every student learns the same way. They don’t give teachers the tools and flexibility to create and deliver courses and content that map to what each individual student needs or engage them in ways that motivate and inspire. CYPHER is revolutionizing the way K-12 teachers and schools build and administer curriculums and courses. Thousands of schools use the CYPHER platform to empower their teachers to deliver effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content, and advanced analytics – all geared toward helping students achieve mastery-level proficiency at every step in their learning journey. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t adapt to the student’s progress Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure students understand and can prove mastery-level knowledge of each subject before they move on You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allow you to create new courses and update courses faster Rigid, static content formats that leave students bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive student engagement and retention of the subject at even the deepest level of detail Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics, empowering you to track student progress, identify gaps in students’ knowledge and flag opportunities for improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut course creation to minutes - allowing you to update and disseminate information just in time Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific subjects help you understand what the student knows or doesn’t know Minimal collaboration and connection Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate peer discussions, group exercises and parent participation to help drive student performance and mastery of a given subject ## A modern learning platform that delights teachers and students See how CYPHER can help you deliver personalized courses and content, at scale: ### Create personalized courses fast #### INTERACTIVE CLASSES With CYPHER, course creation is quick and simple. All it takes is a few clicks to set up instructor-led, self-paced, blended, or micro-learning courses that can be easily customized to the needs of your students.

This way, you can intervene and ensure students who need additional support receive it and keep pace. ### Create personalized learning paths #### AUTOMATION & ADAPTIVE LEARNING With automation rules, you can make classes and learning paths more engaging for your students. These rules trigger actions throughout the platform and ensure each student sees personalized content based on their progress. No more aimless clicking through classes! ### Make learning fun #### GAMIFICATION Get students excited to learn by including gamified elements in your classes. Students are awarded points and badges each time they complete certain tasks. You can either upload existing badges or create them from scratch with custom shapes, images, text, and colors. ### Build and manage a school community #### EFFICIENCY Connect multiple schools from a district under a centralized hub and manage them in a single account. This encourages collaboration between schools and cuts subscription costs by facilitating the sharing of resources at a district level. ### Create a parent-safe zone #### PARENT ACCESS Make it easier for parents and guardians to participate in and celebrate their student’s learning journey. With CYPHER, they can access their children’s grades and track their progress online, from any place at any time. ### Provide a safe exam environment #### SAFE EXAM BROWSER CYPHER's integration with Safe Exam Browser (SEB) allows you to create a web browser environment to carry out online assessments safely.

It melds the best aspects of in-person teaching with the innovation of digital learning. Yet, its implementation is not without hurdles. Here’s how to tackle three primary challenges of introducing blended learning in today’s classrooms. ### Challenge 1: Ensuring equitable access to technology **Updated solution:** Bridging the digital divide is crucial for the success of blended learning. Schools can leverage government and non-profit programs offering grants or subsidies for technology access. Additionally, adopting cloud-based learning platforms ensures that students can access learning materials on a wide range of devices, including smartphones, which are more commonly owned across different socioeconomic backgrounds. Partnering with local libraries or community centers to provide internet access and creating offline content packets are also viable strategies to ensure that all students can participate. ### Challenge 2: Maintaining student engagement in a hybrid environment **Contemporary strategies:** Engagement in a blended learning environment hinges on interactivity and personalization. Utilizing interactive platforms that incorporate gamification, VR, and AR can transform learning into an immersive experience. Personalized learning paths, powered by AI, ensure that content is tailored to meet individual student needs and learning paces, significantly boosting engagement. Regular feedback loops, through digital quizzes and polls, enable educators to adjust content in real-time, keeping students motivated and on track. ### Challenge 3: Training educators to effectively use blended learning tools **Modern approaches:** Professional development for educators is key to the successful adoption of blended learning. Training programs should not only focus on the technical aspects of using new tools but also on integrating pedagogical best practices for blended learning. Micro-credentialing and badge systems can incentivize teachers to pursue ongoing learning opportunities. Peer mentoring programs, where more tech-savvy teachers support their colleagues, can foster a collaborative learning environment among educators, easing the transition to blended learning models. ## Implementing blended learning: Steps forward **Pilot programs:** Start with pilot programs to test blended learning strategies in a controlled environment before a full-scale rollout. This allows for adjustments based on direct feedback from students and teachers. **Stakeholder collaboration:** Engage parents, students, and teachers in the planning process. Their insights can provide valuable perspectives on accessibility issues, engagement strategies, and training needs. **Continuous evaluation:** Use data analytics to continuously assess the effectiveness of blended learning initiatives. This data-driven approach can help identify issues, track progress, and tailor strategies to meet educational goals effectively. ## Embracing the evolution of education The transition to blended learning represents a significant shift in educational practices, promising to make learning more accessible, engaging, and personalized. By addressing the challenges of equitable access, student engagement, and educator training with innovative and collaborative strategies, institutions can unlock the full potential of blended learning. As we move forward, the continued evolution of technology and pedagogy will undoubtedly offer new solutions to these enduring challenges, further enriching the blended learning experience. This updated blog reflects the ongoing developments in blended learning, offering actionable insights and strategies for educators looking to navigate its challenges and harness its potential to transform education.

To give you a helping hand, we have prepared a few steps you could follow when starting: 1. ### Customize your site **1 hour.** Our team will help you sign up for a site. All you need to do is to customize it with your logo, terminology, and images. We also provide consulting services to help with any customizing. 2. ### Create accounts for administrators and teachers **20 minutes.** This is usually easily done using our web form option for creating accounts. We also support many other kinds of account creation, such as API, LDAP, email invitations, or bulk import. 3. ### Create an outline of each class **1 - 3 hours per class.** This requires basic instructor skills and domain knowledge to determine what each class will cover and create the content outline. 4. ### Create competencies for each class (optional, but recommended) **1 - 3 hours per class.** You can create your own competencies in CYPHER or upload the standard ones, then tag class content with the competencies it should be teaching and assessing. 5. ### Create the materials for each lesson **1 - 4 hours per lesson.** This is the most time-intensive part of implementation, and depends on whether you want to upload your content or create new content. Our authoring tool makes it easy to create engaging lessons fast. 6. ### Create the assignments for each class **1 hour per assignment.** All types of assignments can be created easily. Comprehensive randomized quizzes that select from a question bank can take a little longer. 7. ### Beta test the classes **1 day per class on average.** This depends on the complexity of the class. You show it to a small sample of users and then adjust it based on their recommendations where possible. 8. ### Create the learning paths (optional) **30 minutes per learning path.** Paths are classes that can have goals as sections, where each goal can represent another class or a certificate. Adding a path is fairly easy, with just a few options to configure. 9. ### Configure the class catalog **20 minutes.** This simply requires selecting from several layout options. We recommend using attractive pictures for each catalog category, which can easily be purchased from a stock photo site. 10. ### Create student accounts **30 minutes if using a bulk upload.** We also support many other kinds of account creation, such as self-sign-up, email invitations, API, LDAP, and purchasing a class via our e-commerce system.

Previous user interface is being shown. New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Need for effective learning management, creation, and measurement guidance for businesses of all sizes - Difficulty in finding a learning management system (LMS) that adequately supports creating engaging, bite-sized content - Desire to leverage automation and gamification features to enhance learner interaction and motivation I'm a learning architect, which means I provide guidance to small, medium and large businesses, their learning and how they should manage, create, and measure it. CYPHER really does encompass all three elements. Primarily it is managing, because it is a learning management system. It also allows us to create engaging content and measure how that content is being used. We are a customer of CYPHER and we use it in various sporting and self-defense industries, but also, we provide it to our clients – we recommend it and provide support to our clients on how they can get the most out of it. ## The solution - Utilization of CYPHER as a comprehensive learning management solution for managing, creating, and measuring learning content - Adoption of CYPHER's resource model for creating reusable content facilitating the delivery of engaging, bite-sized learning - Leveraging advanced features of CYPHER such as the rules engine for automation and gamification components to enhance learner interaction and motivation We're very pleased with how the product has evolved, becoming one of the number one products in the market in our opinion and it satisfies all our needs. Whenever we design learning, we always develop bite-sized chunks: videos, pictures, words, tests – and that's where CYPHER is very powerful and a good fit for us. They have a resource model which allows us to create reusable content and use it throughout the platform. We use CYPHER ourselves, but we also recommend it to our clients, and there are many reasons for that. As a LMS, not all learning management systems are created equal in any way. You get the traditional ones that just house the SCORM content and then you get learning management systems like CYPHER. Some of the functionality they've added over the past few years has been phenomenal and really taking learning to the next level. For example, the rules engine is a very powerful feature. It allows us to put in automation when learners interact and complete various learning parts, providing actions of either opening new content or just informing us that the content has been done. In addition to that, there's the gamification component that's very favorable with our students. There's a leaderboard that allows them to compete in courses which is very powerful. When we are presenting this to our clients as well, it really does allow us to set the bar high against any other potential competitors. “Whenever we design learning, we always develop bite-sized chunks: videos, pictures, words, tests – and that's where CYPHER is very powerful and a good fit for us.

Honed by years of experience, Coaching4Today'sLeaders, along with Coaching4BusinessLeaders, Coaching4Clergy, and Coaching4Groups were designed to impact leadership excellence and effectiveness globally. The organization was founded by author and Master Certified Coach Val Hastings, who shares his experience with CYPHER. “We really like being able to access the platform anytime, anywhere. Whether you have a smartphone, tablet, laptop, you can jump into any of our classes. We’ve had students join a class from the airport, while they were waiting for their flight.” Val Hastings, Founder & President INDUSTRY Training COMPANY SIZE Global HEADQUARTERS North America SERVICES Leadership training Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Adoption process](#sub_section_1) [Improvements](#sub_section_2) [Features](#sub_section_3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social!

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Difficulty in providing training in five different continents - Providing access all of the training material "We’re a global coach training organization. We provide coach training on five different continents and five languages all around the world. Our students come from all around the world, requiring that we have a common area for us to access to all of our material. CYPHER has allowed us to provide access to all of our students and faculty globally and to create synchronous as well as asynchronous classes." “The platform really met not only the challenges we were facing but it addressed issues that we weren’t even aware that we had.” Val Hastings, Founder & President ## The solution - Stronger relationships between faculty and students through effective communication - Ability to archive and manage resources - Students can access the platform anytime, anywhere One of our faculty members had been working with another organization who tried CYPHER. We went on their website, I had a conversation with them and found out that they were a great fit for what we needed. ### Adoption process So, once we signed on with CYPHER the transition process went very smoothly. The platform is very user friendly and easy to adopt. They have a support team that we can talk to and they can answer our questions and fill in some of the gaps. ### Improvements One of the things we’ve noticed is that over the years CYPHER has continued to improve their product. In our case, the communication between students and faculty, the speed that they’re able to communicate has increased dramatically. That’s really made a difference in the relationship between students and faculty in our program. We can use the email system in the platform to connect with each other without having an outside database. Students can submit papers or projects that they’ve completed any time of day. Faculty can respond to students and grade those papers. All-in-all it’s really made the relationship between student and faculty quite a bit better. ### Features There are two features that we really, really like this system. The first is, and it doesn’t sound glamorous, but we’re able to archive everything that we do. We record all of our classes, we fill the classrooms with all kinds of resources, and then it’s archived so that students can go back and review the material years later, even if they have graduated. It also allowed students to stay connected with our staff and reconnect years later. Often these students will then enroll in another program that we offer, which really adds to our program. The other feature we really like is being able to access the platform anytime, anywhere. Whether you have a smartphone, tablet, laptop, you can jump into any of our classes. We’ve had students join a class from the airport, while they were waiting for their flight. One of the things that our instructors like this system is that they can put resources, documents, and drafts for students to read ahead of time in the resource area of each classroom. This way students are prepared. Faculty can also place things in that same resource area after class for continued learning.  “What’s been most beneficial for us is that it has collected all of our learning material in one area. Our administrative team has 24/7 access to all of the material, attendance reports, everything is listed right there. It has just made everything easier across the board.” Val Hastings, Founder & President ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Coaching4TodaysLeaders.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

It simplifies workflows, saves time on repetitive tasks, and makes training programs easier to manage. These integrations also improve the user experience and support employee productivity by keeping everything accessible in one place. "I think the best quality of CYPHER is the flexibility of integrating with other platforms." Kenneth Ian Barrera, EdTech Manager, SMCC NASIPIT LMS integrations support secure and seamless data transfers, which improves data management and helps meet compliance requirements. For most organizations, the benefits fall into three main categories: stronger user adoption, reduced administrative work, and more engaging, personalized learning experiences.  Together, these advantages help you get more value from your LMS and support better results across your team. ### Improved user adoption Learning platform integrations help increase user adoption by creating a smoother, more familiar experience. When users work with tools they already know, they spend less time figuring things out and more time engaging with (and retaining) actual content. 💡Reducing the learning curve lowers friction and makes the LMS easier to navigate, which boosts engagement and keeps learners on track. Additionally, automated workflows and smart user grouping simplify management tasks and improve the overall user experience. When your systems work together without hassle, learners can stay focused on learning—not on troubleshooting. The result is stronger participation, better outcomes, and higher satisfaction. ### Streamlined administrative tasks LMS integrations help take the weight off your admin team by automating repetitive tasks and reducing the risk of errors. With less manual work to worry , administrators can focus on higher-level strategy and support. [Automation](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/automation) also makes it easier to track and evaluate training progress. The system handles tasks like enrollment, progress updates, and reporting to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. When your LMS connects with Human Capital Management (HCM) tools, training data stays up to date without the need for manual input. This real-time sync not only saves time but also improves accuracy and boosts overall operational efficiency. ### Enhanced learning experiences Effective LMS integrations create [personalized learning paths](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-learners) that adapt to each user's needs. By using performance data, the system can adjust content based on how each learner is doing, which supports better outcomes and helps reduce dropout rates. Integrating multimedia tools also adds variety and keeps learners more engaged. Videos, interactive quizzes, and visual resources make learning more dynamic and enjoyable. These integrations give organizations the flexibility to apply different learning strategies and respond to user progress in real time. The result is a more personalized, engaging experience that keeps learners motivated and improves results. READ MORE: What would you like to learn today?

For example, if a sales rep watches a training video, completes a quiz, and then closes a big deal, integrated data can help you connect those dots. Automating tasks like data collection, chart generation, and performance reporting not only saves time, but also reduces errors and improves compliance. And when your LMS pulls in insights from departments like HR or operations, it helps you eliminate disconnected silos and build a learning program that actually supports your business goals. ## How to overcome challenges in LMS integration Getting your LMS to work smoothly with the rest of your systems can come with a few bumps in the road, including tech mismatches or tricky data formats. [Data security](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/support-security-privacy) is another major concern, especially when sensitive learner information is potentially at risk during training initiatives. The good news? These challenges are highly manageable with CYPHER. Choosing an LMS with built-in, plug-and-play integrations helps reduce compatibility issues from the start. And with the right safeguards in place, you can protect data without slowing down your learning strategy. [Experience CYPHER](https://www.cypherlearning.com/product-tours) for yourself with behind-the-scenes demos. To get the most out of your LMS, it's important to focus on three things: compatibility, cost, and security. Once you’ve aced those, you’ll be well on your way to a more connected, effective learning experience. ### Ensure compatibility up front Older systems don’t always sync well with modern LMS platforms, and that can lead to frustrating functionality gaps. One practical way to bridge those gaps is by using APIs, which allow your LMS to connect and share data with other tools more smoothly. Find your built-in [SCORM solution on the CYPHER Marketplace](/marketplace). Standards like SCORM also play a key role in keeping things compatible. Features like content packaging, run-time tracking, and sequencing help ensure that e-learning content works reliably across different platforms. To keep everything running seamlessly, focus on learning tools with interoperability and strong data exchange. That way, even with legacy tech in the mix, your LMS integrations can still deliver a smooth and connected learning experience. ### Manage costs Weak LMS integration can force teams to rely on expensive custom setups, quickly driving up costs. Complex configurations and ongoing maintenance add to the price tag if you're not careful. The solution? Choose LMS tools that offer built-in integrations and straightforward setup. This helps keep expenses in check while improving long-term value. By streamlining your integration process and selecting cost-effective solutions, you can stay on budget and get more out of your LMS investment. A solid cost management strategy ensures smoother implementation and better business outcomes. ### Secure data within your LMS system Protecting sensitive learner data during LMS integration isn’t optional—it’s essential. Strong encryption, secure data storage, and smart access controls help keep information safe from breaches or unauthorized access. Staying compliant with data protection regulations also builds trust with users and keeps your organization on the right side of the law. When you prioritize data security, you not only protect employee and learner information, but also strengthen your overall integration strategy. Focusing on security from the start ensures safe data exchange, supports compliance, and reinforces confidence in your learning programs. #### Award-winning for a reason CYPHER has received [numerous awards](/awards) from G2, Forbes, Consumer Review, and more—showcasing an unwavering commitment to industry-leading best practices and innovation.  ## How to implement LMS integrations to maximize results Start by setting clear learning goals so your LMS setup aligns with business needs. Choose the right platform, define user roles, and outline a realistic timeline to stay on track. Prep your content to match different learning styles, then customize the LMS interface and permissions. Before launch, run tests to catch issues early. Once everything’s working, train your team and keep an eye on engagement to ensure long-term success. ## Leveraging LMS integrations for better outcomes Organizations can assess the effectiveness of training programs through completion and performance rates, leading to improved knowledge retention by fostering repeated engagement. Maximizing LMS integrations means using the full range of built-in features—like learner analytics and refresher training—to create a more engaging, personalized, and effective learning experience. ### Results in the real world When the [NTT DATA](/best-practices/ntt-data) needed a user-friendly learning platform, they turned to CYPHER to create an enjoyable, centralized learning experience.  "CYPHER has seamlessly integrated into our workflow and has become an indispensable asset.

And it’s super powerful. Like a Ferrari, the tech effortlessly combines beauty with the beast to deliver an elegant and stylish learning environment. This is what modern learning is supposed to be.” **Forbes Advisor says:**“The intuitive user interface (UI) and multiple ways to award learners for using the CYPHER Learning platform scores major points—it’s visually pleasing and keeps learners engaged. Aside from the user experience (UX) though, it’s a comprehensive platform that’s simple to use to create courses and track analytics of learner performance.” CYPHER Logo files Essentials for web.

The Music ConstructED crew is committed to providing a solid foundation for general music educators to access the tools and resources they need to create a comprehensive music education program. “Music ConstructED’s vision is to provide comprehensive support for teachers at every stage of their music teaching career by offering access to high-quality, teacher-vetted resources including lesson plans, articles, downloadable resources, and an extensive catalog of professional development relevant to this specialized teacher.

First, there was no ability to troubleshoot problems independently, leaving many course errors unresolved. The platform itself was new and riddled with bugs, further complicating its functionality. Navigation was confusing and counterintuitive, making it difficult for users to find what they needed. Additionally, the LMS lacked personalization options, neither accommodating company branding nor addressing individual customer needs. Gamification features were entirely absent, reducing engagement opportunities. The reliance on multiple plug-ins rather than native solutions added layers of complexity, making it difficult to mobilize an assortment of apps and programs into a seamless and efficient platform.” Paige Sifuentes, Business Support Assistant ## The solution - Gamification drives higher site traffic and user engagement - Integration support has bolstered B2B client relationships - Intuitive design helps save time updating courses CYPHER solved all of these issues and added more than we could have imagined possible for our LMS.  The helpdesk provided on-demand support that was an extension of the truly **outstanding customer service** we received at every step. The breadth and depth of knowledge that each person possessed, no matter their title, was truly noteworthy and set CYPHER heads and shoulders above their competition.  While the plug-in feature of WordPress created headaches, the apps available for customization through CYPHER provided nuanced opportunities for customization. For example, gamification helped us **more than double our time on site** and helped **generate more sales through promotions** offered by attaining different levels.  **Single Sign On (SSO) was a must-have** in order for us to do business with school districts, and CYPHER provided both the technology and the direct support to help us implement this new feature. Further serving our key **B2B clients, the app that made portals possible**allowed us to **provide secure, customized learning experiences for entire school districts**.  ### Features The templates and hierarchies allowed us to easily build robust courses that were easily combined and customized for multiple customers. The ability to sync sections also significantly**reduced the time required to keep our courses edited and up to date**. A significant point of friction was onboarding of learners and instructors. However, CYPHER mitigated that issue because we were able to create onboarding courses for which students and presenters are **automatically enrolled**.  Additionally, automation is the other significant impact that CYPHER has had for our company. We were handling all quizzes, checks for understanding, certification, and most communication manually as individual tasks for each learner and teacher. **Every aspect of learning experience is now able to be automated**, which provides **outstanding user experience** as well as **reducing the hours required** to support the learning platform. "CYPHER isn’t just a solution for today: it’s a partner in progress.” Paige Sifuentes, Business Support Assistant ## The results - Doubled site traffic, driving higher engagement - Saw a 400% increase in enrollment - 70% course completion rate, up from just 33% Since implementing the CYPHER platform, several key performance indicators have shown remarkable improvement. **Time spent on the site has doubled**, reflecting increased user engagement and interest in the platform's content. **Site traffic has more than doubled**, demonstrating broader reach and visibility. Additionally, the number of districts enrolled has experienced a **staggering 400% increase**, underscoring the platform's effectiveness in **attracting**and **retaining institutional partners**. These metrics highlight the transformative impact of CYPHER on **user engagement** and **overall platform growth**. Our completion rates skyrocketed. On our former LMS, approximately 1/3 of students completed their courses. Now on CYPHER, we estimate **almost 70% of learners complete their courses**. The ability to template quizzes made it easy to build knowledge checks into every type of learning experience that we offer. Because they were consistent, both students and instructors were able to **maximize the ability to check for understanding and guarantee retention**. understanding and guarantee retention.“We would and already do recommend CYPHER Learning to other organizations! The responsive, knowledgeable, and personal customer service that you offer is your biggest differentiator. We interviewed several different platforms before choosing CYPHER. There was no comparison to CYPHER’s willingness to help and solve problems and support us until our issues were resolved. The support was always timely and every person with whom we interacted was a stellar representative of the company. Additionally, the continuous development of technology and options make CYPHER an agile and highly-desirable partner in the rapidly evolving market of educational technology.” Paige Sifuentes, Business Support Assistant ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

For hospitality businesses that operate multiple locations or chains, customers crave the same five-star experience no matter what location they visit. Reliable training is a big part of making that goal a reality. While the restaurant industry thrives on maintaining a perfect mix of great food and top-notch service, behind every enjoyable meal is a well-prepared team. That’s where a restaurant learning management system (LMS) comes into play. For restaurant owners, managers, and training staff, implementing the right learning management systems enhances knowledge, boosts compliance in the training process, and ultimately improves long-term success for the entire establishment. In this comparison post, we’ll guide you through selecting and optimizing an LMS to better train your restaurant employees with confidence—while building a business that’s sustainable and successful. ## 8 best LMS options for restaurants this year With so many LMS options available, finding the perfect fit feels daunting—especially in an industry like hospitality restaurant service that doesn’t afford a lot of “sit down and learn” time.

With an LMS, training becomes an ongoing process, reinforcing skills and boosting morale. ### Employee onboarding Bringing new employees on board is tricky, especially in a bustling restaurant environment. An LMS simplifies this process by providing new hires with a structured introduction to the restaurant’s operations, culture, and expectations through training programs. Using an LMS for onboarding ensures that every new team member receives a similar orientation. A well-equipped LMS also allows for tracking progress, enabling managers to monitor how well new employees are integrating and identify areas where additional support is needed. This proactive approach to onboarding sets both the employee and a restaurant up for success. ### Ongoing or continuing online training programs Restaurants are dynamic environments; menus change, people swap roles, and new promotions are introduced regularly. Continuous learning keeps teams informed and adaptable.  For example, an LMS facilitates ongoing education by providing up-to-date training on new dishes, seasonal offerings, and promotional strategies through online courses. With an LMS, employees can access detailed descriptions of new menu items, including preparation techniques and ideal pairings. This knowledge empowers staff to confidently recommend dishes to customers, enhancing the dining experience and driving sales. ### Compliance training Compliance with health and safety regulations is non-negotiable for restaurant service providers. A training platform ensures that all employees are well-versed in crucial requirements, minimizing the risk of violations and maintaining a safe environment for both staff and customers. Utilizing online training platforms, employees can access compliance materials anytime and anywhere, enhancing engagement and knowledge retention. In addition to safeguarding the health of customers, compliance training builds trust with patrons, who can dine with confidence knowing that the restaurant adheres to top-of-the-line standards. A reputation for safety and compliance can significantly boost a restaurant’s credibility and attract more business. **Bonus Tip:**You can also use generative AI to create compliance training that aligns directly with local health code. Off the shelf training may not know all of your local regulations, but customizable AI inputs let you carefully include information your employees need to know. ## Benefits of using an LMS for restaurant training Implementing an LMS offers several important perks: - **Flexibility**: An LMS allows employees to complete training modules at their own pace, fitting learning into schedules without disrupting daily operations. This flexibility is particularly valuable in a restaurant, where shifts vary and time is often limited. - **Progress tracking**: The ability to monitor individual progress through the LMS gives managers a clearer picture into who might need extra support. This data-driven approach helps pinpoint areas for improvement, ensuring no one falls behind. - **Budget-friendliness**: Digital training cuts down on the costs associated with printed materials and the need for frequent in-person training sessions during business hours. By reducing these expenses, an LMS is a more economical solution for ongoing staff and employee development. ## How to choose an LMS for restaurant or hospitality hiring Choosing the right LMS is finding a platform that fits your specific goals and improves staff training and development over time. If you’re unsure which qualities are most important, here’s a list of our favorite “must have” features. ### Simplified UX An LMS should be user-friendly to accommodate employees with varying tech skills. An intuitive interface and simple navigation are key to preventing frustration. A complex system can hinder effective training, so choose a platform that’s easy to use, with clear instructions and accessible materials. Providing support and training on the LMS itself can also have a positive impact on your learners’ confidence. ### Customizable training materials Every restaurant has unique training needs, and a customizable LMS lets you tailor content to fit your specific goals. From adding branding elements to creating role-specific modules, customization ensures training is relevant and practical. With the inclusion of online training courses, you can provide essential resources for skill development, workplace safety, and compliance within your organization. ### Compliance tracking Compliance with health and safety regulations is critical in the restaurant industry. An LMS with compliance management features helps ensure that all employees are meeting regulatory requirements and industry standards. This not only minimizes the risk of violations but also builds trust with customers who value safety and reliability. An LMS with [compliance tracking](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance) lets managers easily monitor who’s completed mandatory training and who might need extra help. Compliance training also provides reliable documentation, showing your restaurant's commitment to safety and reliability, while minimizing the risk of oversights. ### Multimedia content support Multimedia content support, such as video and image uploads, can make training more engaging and interactive. Visual content can help employees better understand complex procedures and retain information more effectively. By incorporating multimedia elements, restaurants can create a more dynamic and effective training program. ### Scalability A scalable LMS can grow with your business, accommodating expansion from a single location to multiple branches. Unlike traditional training methods, flexibility ensures that training remains consistent across all locations. Scalability is particularly important for restaurant brands with plans for future growth. An LMS that can easily accommodate additional users and locations minimizes disruptions and brings consistency. ## Hit your restaurant’s staff training goals To choose the best LMS for your restaurant, evaluate your specific training needs—consider team size, turnover rates, and long-term goals. Then, reach out to vendors for demos and pricing to find the platform that best aligns with your objectives. Whether you manage a small bistro or a large chain, there’s an LMS designed to fit your needs. As you decide, prioritize ease of use, scalability, and customization. Remember, your restaurant’s success starts with investing in the right tools to empower your team.

A fully realized role-based vision CYPHER Agent works with different users on different tasks, streamlining work and surfacing the right knowledge for the person using it.

The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. ### Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within CYPHER.

Now, on their path, they all come across various myths that may or may not hinder their growth. Everyone is free to interpret things in their own way, but in some cases, it's better to lift the cloud of misconceptions so you can see what’s real. These myths have been debunked by well-established entrepreneurs who have concluded, after many trial and error attempts, that theory doesn't always go hand in hand with practice. In the online context, steer clear of these 5 myths an online knowledge entrepreneur: 1. ### Anyone can be an online entrepreneur Starting a business requires a lot of **grit, perseverance, agility**, a thorough understanding of how the online world works, as well as other skills, like being able to adapt to your customers' needs, to create an online community, to [find your own niche](/blog/entrepreneurs/10-tips-on-finding-your-niche-in-the-knowledge-commerce-industry), and much more. In theory, anyone can be an online entrepreneur, not everyone can make it in the long term. 2. ### You have to do everything There is a common belief that doing business online is a one-man job. Yes, it's true: you can tackle many challenges, but you **cannot expect to be able to do everything on your own**. To make sure you use your time productively, dedicating yourself to promoting your knowledge and realizing your vision, you should reach for help when needed. 3. ### Online means free The internet is a pool of tools and resources that can help you get things started and manage your online business, and some are indeed free or cost very little. This doesn’t mean, however, that having an online business is really free. There are [various costs](https://www.webfx.com/digital-marketing-pricing.html) to most of what you need to do, either in the **time invested or money** so choose your business plan and strategy accordingly. 4. ### A big budget for online promotion is paramount for success You do need to **nurture the advertising part of promoting your business** but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should break the bank. [Social media marketing](https://searchengineland.com/guide/what-is-social-media-marketing) is one of the best ways to market your products online, but good options are SEO, creating a community, [reaching influencers](/blog/entrepreneurs/4-tips-on-how-to-approach-influencers-in-your-niche), offering free content, being present in all ways possible and on all platforms. 5. ### Automate! Automate everything! The online world allows you to **optimize your work by automating** a lot of things like subscriber emails, offers, discounts, surveys, etc. But businesses are run by people for people. You can’t fully automate your social media presence, for example; nor your customer support. These have to include a personalized approach to suit individual buyers.

That’s because it’s usually easier to stick with the same tools, even if they no longer serve the educational process just as well as they used to. The solution? Schools need to find a balance between traditional instruction and **incorporating technology** in the classroom. They also need to find what works best for their infrastructure, teaching methods, and capacity to train staff in using edtech. Here are some examples of tech that actually **improves education** overall: 1. ### Tablets Using handheld devices as **digital textbooks** can enable students to have greater interaction with the material through mixed media. They can also save money over the cost of printed books and access their **school LMS** anytime and anywhere, making it the perfect solution for students. 2. ### Video conferencing Video conferencing offers a wide range of opportunities, from teaching a class while being out of town to organizing **meetings with parents** in lieu of face to face meetings. This is an effective way for learners to **collaborate** across large distances. 3. ### Smartboards Interactive, connected display boards can take the place of whiteboards in most classroom environments. This type of board offers a much better and more **interactive experience** for students. They are used to display videos and photos alongside hand-written notes to create a **multimedia approach** for presenting the material. 4. ### Augmented Reality (AR) **AR devices** allow students to experience their lessons as if they were right in front of them. For example, medical students can see a 3D model of anatomy and interact with it in a **virtual environment**. AR will surely become a staple in classrooms in the future, as everyone can benefit from an interactive learning experience. 5. ### Cloud servers The cloud eliminates the need for the traditional computer lab or expansive library facilities. Not to mention the fact that schools **save a lot of money** by ditching on-premises servers, which are expensive and require more personnel to run. Instead, they have more time to **focus on professional development** for teachers. 6. ### 3D printing This technology has the potential to **change the way students learn** engineering, giving them the opportunity to **design and produce** prototypes easily. It can also be used to create accurate 3D models for science classes or art projects. *[www.fractuslearning.com/edtech-stats/](https://www.fractuslearning.com/edtech-stats/) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

However, there are some other checkpoints in your entrepreneurship journey. Since most marketing activities occur in a **highly demanding online environment**, there’s no shortage of **marketing metrics**. If you’re an entrepreneur looking for the best way to expand your brand, only a few of these **key performance indicators (KPIs)** truly matter. Keeping an eye on them will help you tweak and **upgrade your campaigns** for superior results: 1. ### Engagement on social media Counting the number of views on a Facebook post or Tweet isn’t enough. You should keep track of the **reactions, shares, and comments** on your content. Find out what makes your followers tick by **building a comprehensive buyer persona**, doing research, and preparing several message versions to test. 2. ### Convert visitors into leads One way to convert visitors into leads is to **include calls to action (CTAs) in your social media posts** – ask them to go to your product page, leave a comment, sign up for your newsletter, leave their information with you to receive a free sample or an ebook. 3. ### Returning visitors People might visit your online course website or landing page more than once as potential clients are used to **weighing their options** before **completing a purchase**. That’s why your website must **give visitors incentives** to come back, such as pop-ups that ask them to join your email list in exchange for exclusive content or a discount code. 4. ### Convert leads into customers It’s better to focus on your **target audience’s needs and preferences** than having many leads at the beginning. You’ll have a better chance of **selling a course** to those who are **genuinely interested**. If you have to start by building up the need for online courses, it will take longer, and it’s not likely that you’ll manage it anyway. 5. ### Revenue per visitor The revenue per visitor is calculated by simply **dividing your total revenue by the number of visitors**. To increase this number, you can use special discounts if they opt for more than one product, offer early-bird specials, or give better prices to those who not only purchase but convince a friend to do so as well.

Create personalized programs based on their goals and get measurable skills development progress. ### 2Set skills Take a skills-based approach and automate the association of skills with learning content and resources such as courses and groups to help your learners achieve mastery. ### 3Get proactive recommendations The CYPHER platform provides personalized and proactive recommendations that can be a variety of resources such as courses, learning paths, or groups. Recommendations make it easier for learners to up-skill and reach their learning goals. Proactive recommendations are at the heart of personalized learning - tailored to each person’s learning journey. ### 4Automate tasks Get more time to teach and train! After setting-up rules that are triggered when learners reach their goals, the platform automatically awards badges, certificates, sends custom messages, enrolls learners in other courses, and more. ### 5Track goals progress Create personalized learning paths. Learners get an overview of all the goals they are working on by checking their dashboard or their profile page. There is also an overview page for each goal they are working towards. From there, they can easily put a particular goal on pause or remove it. ### 6Make a human connection Build community and make connections in real-time. Learners use the Q&A forum to ask questions and get support to easily reach their active goals. Collaboration takes place at an organization, business, or network level, making it easy to connect and be part of a learning community.

For many organizations, the answer is "we're racing to get started," but this momentum requires a crucial reality check. The numbers show significant movement towards AI adoption: 42% of large organizations have already deployed AI solutions, 26% of SMBs are already invested and 40% of enterprises planning to start soon. This rapid push for adoption, however, has a downside. Studies indicate that a large percentage of projects—between 60–80% of AI projects—fall flat without a sound strategy, governance, and the right skills in place. ([Source: IBM](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2024-01-10-Data-Suggests-Growth-in-Enterprise-Adoption-of-AI-is-Due-to-Widespread-Deployment-by-Early-Adopters), [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2022/08/14/the-one-practice-that-is-separating-the-ai-successes-from-the-failures/)) The top barriers that L&D professionals must address are: - **Limited skill (33%):** The single largest barrier, pointing to the urgent need for upskilling the workforce. - **Ethical concerns (23%):** Addressing bias, fairness, and transparency to build trust. - **Integration/scale (22%):** Ensuring AI tools can be implemented seamlessly into existing workflows and platforms. ## The HR mandate for leading AI readiness The responsibility for driving successful AI integration often falls to Human Resources, and by extension, L&D. 89% of CEOs say that HR must play a key role in AI readiness, uniting people and processes. Despite this clear mandate, HR often faces significant challenges: - **Internal preparedness:** HR ranks **10th** out of all business functions in preparedness to capitalize on AI. - **Workforce skepticism:** **54% of professional workers** are wary of AI, posing a significant barrier to adoption and success. L&D is uniquely positioned to address these challenges and can be at the center of the solution. The foundation for AI success is built on a three-part action plan: - **Educate:** Demystify AI among leadership and users with educational resources that add clarity and build trust. - **Prepare:** Assess use cases and risks to develop a strategic roadmap. - **Demonstrate success:** Be the face of AI success with tangible wins in L&D, then measure and promote that success. ## Build trust and plan for success To successfully move your strategy forward, you must first define your current position. Find out how far along the AI readiness journey you are by taking our [AI readiness quiz](https://form.typeform.com/to/iPEc0r3P).

You’re not alone. Operations and Learning and Development (L&D) leaders face the same challenge of making their employee training programs effective and engaging. [Traditional methods of educating and upskilling](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-for-businesses) employees often rely on outdated content and one-size-fits-all approaches, leading to disengagement and a lack of real-world application. This not only hinders knowledge retention, but also demotivates employees who may feel that their individual learning needs are not being addressed. ## Why is choosing the right corporate training essential? Poor employee training leads to disorganization, confusion, and wasted time, affecting both new and experienced staff. Ineffective methods (like endless slideshows) hinder information retention and motivation.  Plus, the inability to track progress leaves managers unaware of who on their team needs support, resulting in knowledge gaps, which impact individual and company-wide performance. Without [personalized training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/skill-building-goals), some employees also feel overlooked, which might diminish their confidence and commitment. Addressing these issues is vital for fostering an effective training environment that empowers employees and enhances their potential. ## What is a corporate learning management system? [Learning Management Systems (LMS)](/what-is-an-lms) address these specific and all-too-familiar corporate training challenges. Corporate LMS platforms, often referred to as [enterprise LMSs](/blog/business/navigating-the-best-enterprise-lms-platforms-for-optimal-learning), streamline, manage, and enhance the training and education process within an organization. Typically, these systems provide a centralized hub for employees to access training materials, track their own progress, and engage in interactive learning experiences. Features can include: - [Progress tracking](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/assessment-and-evaluation). - Real-time assessment tools. - Customizable course content. A corporate LMS ensures that employees receive consistent training. Additionally, the right platform allows managers to monitor effectiveness and identify areas where further support may be needed. Many modern LMS platforms also integrate [social learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lxp) elements, enabling employees to collaborate and share insights. This enhances knowledge retention and strengthens team dynamics in a way that traditional slideshows or in-person lectures cannot. ## Who can use a corporate LMS? Organizations of all sizes can benefit from implementing a corporate LMS, particularly those with a commitment to continuous employee development and a diverse workforce. Companies that are rapidly growing or those that employ remote or hybrid teams find the online training of an LMS invaluable. Employees receive consistent training, regardless of location, role, or background. Choosing the right LMS can transform a company's training programs, making them more efficient, engaging, and tailored to individual learning needs.

In this context, learning management systems (LMSs) have seen a renewal of interest and widespread adoption. And that’s not all: the LMS as we know it has changed and become more efficient thanks to built-in automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics, among other innovations. However, not all LMS solutions are able to support modern learning and current innovations to learning because they weren’t built for modern learners. And that's what this post is : defining what makes a learning management system modern. ## Defining a modern learning platform for business Simply put, a modern LMS is a [learning management system](/what-is-an-lms) that supports current technologies and was built specifically for the modern learner. A modern LMS is characterized by several features that distinguish it from conventional systems: - **Cloud-based focus:** a modern LMS is typically cloud-based, making it accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. This makes it more easy and convenient to use than traditional LMS platforms that weren't built for modern learners. Many of these solutions started as on-premise solutions, installed on a local computer or server. - **User-friendly, intuitive, and personalized for modern learners:** modern LMSs are designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, with a focus on creating engaging and interactive learning experiences. This is achieved through the use of multimedia including video, animation, simulations, as well as sophisticated gamification elements. - **Modern learning approach:** learning approaches are different across LMS platforms. They include ad hoc, topic-based, competency-based learning and more. The way we learn has changed and some learning platforms simply can't keep up. It’s important that your organization’s learning requirements and goals align with a modern learning approach: a method of instruction and evaluation that focuses on an individual learner’s progress where learners advance by demonstrating their mastery of a subject through a range of valid and accurate competency assessments. - **Support for scalable automation, AI, analytics, skill development, gamification, and more** - **Mobile learning support:** modern LMSs allow learners to access content on their mobile devices without limitations. This is particularly important in today's world where many people use their smartphones and tablets as their primary computing device. - **Integration flexibility:** a modern LMS must be able to integrate with other tools and systems, including social media platforms, e-commerce tools, and HR management software to provide a more comprehensive learning experience. This integration enables learners to access a wide range of tools and resources, and makes it easier for instructors and administrators to manage and track training programs. - **Analytics and reporting:** with insights into the effectiveness of your training programs and the impact that they have on your stakeholders, you can make data-driven decisions that lead to improved outcomes and better business results. With automation, repetitive manual tasks can be eliminated and reports can be automated to be generated and delivered at a certain time and date. Create customized reports, track learner progress and performance, automate learning recommendations, and evaluate and optimize the effectiveness of the training program. ## The benefits of the modern LMS for businesses The modern LMS offers a dynamic, user-centered learning experience. Here are some of the main benefits: - **Personalized recommendations:** there are many reasons why corporate training often fails and one of the major ones is that companies stick to an old-fashioned standardized approach. The lack of learning personalization can be detrimental to training efficiency and employee productivity. In the US, companies spend around 50 billion dollars on training payroll yearly. However, many organizations still struggle to improve their training programs’ ROI, partially due to a lack of flexibility in meeting employees’ real needs. For example, 49 percent of employees prefer to engage in training only when necessary. Mandatory courses can be perceived as a waste of time instead of a growth opportunity. Moreover, since adaptability is one of the top soft skills companies look for in new hires, they should also prioritize increased flexibility. - **Effective mentoring:** with a modern LMS, trainers maintain the lead role by creating, assigning courses, evaluating learners and providing feedback. However, employees can also act as mentors and coaches for each other. ILPs encourage learners with similar skills and interests to form learning communities. They benefit from help from other learners who have the same goals and have mastered certain competencies. Trainers can create groups and communities of users with similar goals and aptitudes and enhance communication and knowledge dissemination. - **More diverse training resources:** One of the main advantages of a modern LMS is that it allows organizations to leverage both internal and external resources. Many LMSs focus on courses created within a company by its L&D department, offering little or no links to third-party content. Instead, modern LMSs connect learners with third-party content. Paired with the personalized recommendations system, more diverse content ensures that each learner receives the training materials that will help them level up their professional skills. - **Easy goal monitoring:** Modern LMS allow trainers to access real-time analytics. Hence, they have a clear overview of each learner and course performance. There are different types of goals that trainers can add to an intelligent learning platform for business. For example, an employee might choose “I want to become a Senior Graphic Designer.” This goal is associated with certain competencies, such as learning how to use certain graphic design software. Also, employees can set learning goals for themselves, complete different courses related to them and go through an evaluation process. Trainers can easily monitor employee progress from their dashboard and offer encouragement or help. Learners can also see where they are and how many courses they must complete before reaching their goals. ## CYPHER: the best modern learning platform for business training and development CYPHER Learning is the only LMS company on the market that provides a modern learning platform for each e-learning segment: academia, business, and entrepreneurs.

La variedad de recursos multimedia, la variedad de plataformas interactivas y la emoción de administrar su tiempo y otros recursos aumentan su curiosidad y motivación. Para la mayoría de los estudiantes, la experiencia de aprendizaje en línea es un salto hacia una nueva forma de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, como instructor en línea, eres consciente de que algunos estudiantes están luchando para hacer esta transición. Las razones son varias y van desde la falta de comprensión técnica y la incomodidad con la tecnología hasta la desorientación cuando se les pide que planifiquen su propio tiempo y ritmo de aprendizaje. Por otro lado, a veces se debe al diseño y al enfoque del curso. Afortunadamente, los datos y los algoritmos de análisis disponibles en la mayoría de los [sistemas de gestión del aprendizaje](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/neo) te ayudarán a identificar de inmediato qué estudiantes no están completamente comprometidos y cuáles están rezagados en términos de objetivos de aprendizaje personales. Hay varias intervenciones, consejos y trucos para probar en estos casos. Por lo tanto, exploremos algunas formas de involucrar al alumno desconectado y motivar al alumno en línea que tiene dificultades o al desinteresado. Aquí vamos: ## 1. Presencia del instructor Muchos estudiantes prosperan cuando se encuentran en un aprendizaje autodirigido, pero a otros les puede resultar aislado el verse desalojados de la relativa comodidad de "simplemente sentarse en clase". Tener un maestro como guía brinda una sensación de seguridad y confianza de la que muchos estudiantes sienten como privada cuando aprenden en línea. Por lo tanto, pueden carecer de la confianza necesaria para interactuar con la plataforma si se sienten solos. El enigma es: ¿cómo recreamos una presencia física en las clases en línea sin perder los beneficios de la autonomía y la autodirección del estudiante? Hay varias soluciones simples para agregar a tu curso para una experiencia de aprendizaje más guiada. - **Video introductorio:** Di "Hola", dale una cara a tu lección o clase filmando un breve video introductorio, intenta incluir cosas como una descripción general del curso y algunas trivialidades personales sobre tu interés y experiencia en el tema. - **Imágenes de perfil reales:** Anima a tus alumnos a cargar imágenes reales de ellos mismos en lugar de mascotas y avatares. Esto reforzará un sentido de interacción personal en ellos al participar en el curso y potenciará los aspectos sociales del programa. - **Enlaces y correos electrónicos de noticias:** Configura una alerta de Google o configura mensajes automatizados en la entrega de noticias directamente en tu bandeja de entrada. Luego, puedes enviar apartados de noticias actuales y relevantes a los estudiantes a medida que avanzan con el curso, recordándoles tu presencia e interés. Incluso puedes personalizar estos datos en función de la actividad o interés anterior de un estudiante. - **Podcast:** Intenta crear un podcast semanal que resuma la lección de la semana y destaca las problemáticas típicas. Nuevamente, esto crea una interacción agradable con el beneficio adicional de ser un resumen que los estudiantes pueden escuchar en sus teléfonos y lejos de la computadora. ## 2. Proyectos en equipo Si bien es posible que a tus alumnos nos les guste hacer proyectos de equipo en una clase presencial, es posible que sus estudiantes en línea estén más entusiasmados. Cuando participan en el aprendizaje autónomo durante un tiempo, es probable que agradezcan la oportunidad de interactuar con otros estudiantes. Algunas cosas a tener en cuenta al establecer asignaciones de equipo: - Asigna roles desde el principio: los roles no académicos asignados por el instructor pueden ayudar a que todos en el grupo se sientan parte del proceso. Considera desafiar a un estudiante que ha tenido problemas con el aprendizaje en línea a un rol de alta responsabilidad para que inicie su proceso. Además, considera la posibilidad de rotar los roles si la asignación tiene una duración prolongada. - Asegúrate de que el grupo comprenda cómo se evaluará la tarea. Deben comprender claramente qué partes son evaluaciones individuales y qué calificaciones se aplicarán de manera uniforme en todo el grupo. - Asegúrate de que todos los involucrados sepan cómo funcionan las plataformas de colaboración disponibles dentro del LMS, como foros, correo directo, chat de video y screencasting, antes de comenzar la tarea. ## 3. Revisión en pares Por lo general, una herramienta de colaboración efectiva en la educación superior, también es un mecanismo poderoso para la participación en línea en la etapa K-12. Anima a los estudiantes a aprender de forma cooperativa, con respeto por sus compañeros y mejora la noción de que su aprendizaje en actividades sociales. Ver cómo piensan otros estudiantes sobre el mismo tema puede ser enormemente beneficioso para los estudiantes y les ayuda a pensar de manera más creativa. Naturalmente, la revisión en pares en la etapa K-12 también puede tener sus inconvenientes y debe manejarse con cuidado para garantizar los mejores resultados. Algunos consejos y trucos incluyen: - Da a tus estudiantes una pauta establecida para sus comentarios; tales categorías podrían incluir presentación, gramática y creatividad. - Anima a los estudiantes a comenzar sus revisiones con lo positivo antes de pasar a los aspectos negativos. - La calificación en pares no debe formar parte de la calificación general, y los estudiantes deben saber esto desde el principio. Sin embargo, los estudiantes que se toman el tiempo para revisar de manera completa y respetuosa el trabajo de sus compañeros podrían ser considerados para puntos o calificaciones adicionales. ## 4. Publicación del trabajo del estudiante Se puede alentar a los estudiantes que se sienten desconectados del proceso de aprendizaje en línea a que se involucren más si compartes su trabajo con otros en el curso o incluso si lo publicas en línea. Con suerte, esto conectará a un estudiante desconectado con la comunidad de aprendizaje en general y les ofrecerá un sentido de orgullo, si no alegría. Nuevamente, este puede ser un tema delicado dependiendo de la personalidad de sus estudiantes. El proceso de elevar una obra por encima de otra requiere transparencia desde el principio. Utiliza la función de cartera de LMS cuando compartas el trabajo de los estudiantes con su clase en línea, así como con los padres. ## 5. Haz que el contenido sea relevante para los alumnos La sobrecarga de contenido puede abrumar a los estudiantes comprometidos y aislar completamente a los que no participan. Poner todo lo que tiene alguna relevancia en el módulo es tentador. Y aunque la mayoría de los estudiantes tendrán la motivación para trabajar en todo el contenido, guiados por sus propios objetivos de aprendizaje, muchos simplemente lo encontrarán como demasiado y se rendirán. Los estudiantes necesitan ver un camino claro a través del contenido. Debes asegurarte de que cada contenido tenga una relevancia directa con el objetivo de aprendizaje para mantener a los estudiantes comprometidos. La recomendación aquí es interesante pero relevante. Utiliza algunas de estas pautas: - **Fragmentar:** En lugar de dividir los módulos en módulos lineales (una cosa tras otra), explora dividiendo el contenido por tema. Al encontrar conexiones interesantes en el contenido y agruparlas, puedes sorprender y deleitar a tus alumnos y estimular el aprendizaje. - **Debes saber:** Utiliza una regla general simple: separa en el contenido que debes conocer y el que podrías conocer. Esto asegura que incluso el estudiante no comprometido, que solo interactúa con el curso como mínimo, retendrá la información más necesaria; reserva el contenido que podría conocer para lecturas y recursos opcionales. ## 6. Fomentar las relaciones Los estudiantes informan de una mayor sensación de satisfacción cuando encuentran y disfrutan de la conexión en su curso en línea (y sus calificaciones lo confirman). Un método clave para crear estimulación y motivación en un curso en línea es fomentar las relaciones entre los estudiantes. Buscar respuestas de los demás no solo es una forma significativa de fomentar una dinámica de aprendizaje saludable, sino que también imparte una habilidad esencial para la vida: pedir y brindar ayuda. [Encuentra aquí unos consejos útiles](http://www.udgvirtual.udg.mx/apertura/index.php/apertura/article/view/15/18#ref) sobre cómo estimular la interacción de los estudiantes en línea. Algunas técnicas para probar incluyen: - **Rompehielos tradicionales:** Presenta a los estudiantes en foros en vivo, animándolos a compartir algo sobre ellos mismos y su interés en el curso, o tal vez incluso pídeles que carguen un video corto que muestre quiénes son y qué esperan obtener del curso. - **Fomenta el debate:** Programa debates en línea a través de las aplicaciones del foro y asegúrate de participar y moderar los debates. Atrae a estudiantes desconectados con preguntas dirigidas a ellos, menciona pensamientos y trabajos que hayan hecho en el pasado, estimulándolos a compartir lo que han aprendido y lo que piensan con los otros estudiantes en un espacio seguro y moderado. - **Revisión en pares:** Administra y planifica el proceso con cuidado y empareja a los estudiantes para revisar el trabajo del otro. Esto creará relaciones entre los estudiantes y ayudará a los estudiantes desconectados a comenzar a sentirse más cerca del centro común de su curso. ## 7. Utilizar “reglas de cerebro" Puede preguntar: "¿Qué diablos son las reglas de cerebro?" cuando escuchas esta frase por primera vez piensas "¿otra pieza de moda de psicotrabajo con la que lidiar?" Afortunadamente, no. John Medina es un biólogo molecular que ha escrito un [libro](http://brainrules.net/) basado totalmente en investigaciones científicas revisadas en pares (sin modas pasajeras). Ha reunido estos hechos conocidos sobre el cerebro en 12 "reglas" para guiar a los padres, empleadores y maestros. Él, por ejemplo, refuerza ideas como la repetición y el poder de la información pictográfica cuando se trata de retención. También tiene una variedad de datos valiosos sobre el estrés, el sueño y el ejercicio. Sus capítulos sobre atención serán beneficiosos para el maestro que busca comprender al alumno desconectado. ## 8. Evaluación creativa Las preguntas de opción múltiple ofrecen a los maestros una forma significativa de medir la aceptación y la retención. Encuentra algunos consejos útiles sobre el diseño de este tipo de preguntas [aquí](http://sitios.itesm.mx/va/calidadacademica/files/opcion.pdf). Sin embargo, si bien algunos estudiantes pueden interactuar con el contenido de una manera interesante y comprometida, es posible que no interactúen con sus evaluaciones de manera suficiente o correcta. También puedes encontrar que no está recibiendo los datos correctos sobre el avance de un estudiante a lo largo del curso. También es cierto que los estudiantes que han pasado mucho tiempo preparándose para una evaluación o aprendiendo el material pueden sentirse defraudados por una evaluación rudimentaria de opción múltiple. Por último, las preguntas de opción múltiple son criticadas por no evaluar el pensamiento profundo, ser fáciles de manipular y no estar centrados en el alumno. En estos casos, puede ser el momento de ponerte creativo con tus evaluaciones y probar algunos diseños nuevos para mejorar la participación de tus estudiantes. Algunas técnicas de evaluación alternativas incluyen: - Desafía a los estudiantes a que presenten carpetas de trabajo, ensayos, asignaciones, proyectos o experimentos de los estudiantes al final del curso. - Realiza pruebas de rendimiento de transmisión en vivo por estudiante para evaluar su nivel de habilidad y aprendizaje. - Realiza preguntas de opción múltiple, pero permite una parte explicativa donde los estudiantes puedan motivar sus respuestas. Esto te ayudará a evaluar su comprensión más profunda del tema y les brindará la oportunidad de demostrar su pensamiento; aunque su respuesta puede ser incorrecta, su razonamiento puede atraer calificaciones parciales. ## Conclusión Puede ser un desafío cuando los estudiantes se desvinculan de un curso en línea que hemos pasado muchas horas y días creando. Ver a un estudiante desinteresado es una oportunidad para mejorar y refinar tu curso hasta tener un gran atractivo para todos los tipos de personalidad y aprendizaje. Al utilizar algunas de las herramientas que hemos discutido hoy, espero que tu curso en línea sea más efectivo, útil y valioso. Como comentario final, te animo a que evalúes tu curso en línea preguntando a sus estudiantes de manera constante. Puede que te sorprenda saber cuántos de ellos están más confundidos por el flujo del proceso de su curso que por el contenido. La evaluación constante por parte de tus propios compañeros y los comentarios regulares de los estudiantes te ayudarán a mantener tu curso optimizado, efectivo y atractivo.

There are certain challenges that teachers encounter along the way, including finding the right technology to support personalized paths. But let’s rewind a little bit to see what we are dealing with here. First, personalized paths are part of a larger strategy for personalized learning (PL). Learning paths have been identified as a [key component of PL](https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR2000/RR2042/RAND_RR2042.pdf), along with competency-based progression and flexible learning environments. According to the RAND corporation cited above, “personal learning paths allow for flexibility in the specific paths students take through content to enact their educational plan, while still holding them to high expectations.” That is a great description, but I also like to think of paths as treasure hunts, where the ultimate goal is for the student to be in charge of their own success in learning, with the help of the teacher and their peers. For example, some students in a class need to learn the core competencies and like to go through a predefined map. Others find little gems along the way that they have to collect, such as learning more a particular concept that sparks their interest. Also, some milestones on the learning map are required to be completed in order, but in some cases students can also go from point A to C and then to B, and that is perfectly fine. All of this and much more can be achieved using an LMS, which is our topic for today! ## Why personalized learning paths go hand in hand with technology Here are just four reasons: 1. **Adjust the pace of learning:** adjusting the pace of learning is not actually personalized learning in itself, but more of an aspect of it. Learning paths help teachers take a structured and goal-oriented approach, but not every student has to get through path at the same pace. It is certainly possible to do without ed tech, but it can be easier in the long term, especially since there are many students to teach and not enough time. 2. **Track long-term learning:** it’s a no brainer that in order to track students’ progress through a learning path is actually time-consuming and sometimes difficult to do. Considering that students might have different work assignments to do to fit their learning goals, it can get overwhelming pretty fast. An LMS helps educators say goodbye to flipcharts and spreadsheets to track what and how everyone is doing. Plus, the data is still there even after a class graduates so you can assess and improve the efficiency of this approach. 3. **Giving students a choice:** to be able to choose when and where to learn is key part of personalized learning. Even more, [flexibility](/tour/ui-and-ux) creates more space for student autonomy as learning is not confined strictly to the classroom. The role of paths is to be there as a guide, not a boring checklist! 4. **The one stop shop:** there is a plethora of ed tech tools out there, and that is a good thing in itself. And while it is great to have many options, using 4 or 5 different tools to create the what that one single tool can do is counter-intuitive. Let’s say a teacher creates classes with tool 1, assess students with tool 2, add learning paths in tool 3. When do you actually get time to do all of it? So, to quote a teacher that I have spoken to recently: “[the LMS can be a one stop shop](/academia)”. ## How an LMS can help teachers personalize learning paths Sure, this all sounds great, but how do you actually do it? While this is not meant to be a definitive list or a recipe for success, here is a great example of how teachers can personalize learning paths with the help of an LMS. Let’s get down to business: - **Goal setting:** setting learning goals is a must for tailoring learning to fit the actual needs of students. What is more, students can actually set at least some of these goals themselves or with the guidance of the teacher. For example, an English teacher can help a student who loves poetry set a goal of taking a self-paced class or read an essay on contemporary poetry. Another student might have the goal of learning more theater, and so on. - **Personalize goals within paths:** the goals do not have to be set in stone or completed by absolutely everyone in the class at the same pace. An LMS can give you the flexibility to personalize goals, meaning that you can show or hide particular goals for specific students. For example, you might want to hide an optional goal such as taking a micro class on the works of Walt Whitman. It’s going to show for the students that are more interested in poetry than for the ones interested in theater. You can always change this as well. - **Create flexible individual paths:** remember the treasure hunt analogy? How students can learn what interests them and not necessarily in a strict order? In an LMS, it means that the content of the class can be free to explore as they can choose which activities to do next. One caveat: this might not work with all classes. For example, students absolutely need to learn the structure of a cell to advance to more complicated subjects in Biology. However, some classes such as literature allow for more spontaneity, in which case teachers can set goals to be taken in any order. - **Self-assessment:** student involvement does not stop at goal setting. To enable them to be proactive in their learning is to give them the tools to assess their strengths and weaknesses. It does not mean that 1) students need to be graded for this activity and 2) teachers should eliminate formal assessments. For example, in an LMS there are auto-graded quizzes that help them practice what they learned and through which they can get instant feedback. They can take surveys, write essays their progress or even keep a learning blog where they can reflect on their learning process. - **Efficient feedback:** self-assessment is a great tool, but it has to be complemented by teacher feedback. In fact, through an LMS teachers can leave personalized feedback next to an assignment that can be revised by a student whenever they wish to improve something, such as their essay writing skills. Even more, other students can also leave feedback, which can turn into a powerful learning experience for more than one student. - **Student collaboration:** individualized learning paths does not mean that students are confined to their own bubble. There are many instances in which an LMS with rich collaborative tools can enable students to actively participate in discussions or debates, collaborate on assignments, build their portfolio, and generally learn from each other. It is also clear that students with the same interests can form study groups and participate at the same activities such as a trip to the museum. - **An LMS adapts to multiple learning preferences:** to offer personalized paths that will actually work, students must have a wide range of materials at their disposal. Some of them might need to read an e-book. Some of them would understand the concept better if they see a video. It is much easier to upload a learning resource and just direct students to said resource than to provide a different physical textbook or handouts for each of them. ## Conclusion An LMS can help teachers design personalized paths for students as a part of the larger personalized learning strategy. It is a one-stop shop for teachers that helps save time, keep track of learning goals and adapt to the unique needs of each student.

January 23, 2024 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 4 minutes read In the past year alone, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, and other Wall Street trading firms have **paid out a combined $549 million in fines** to federal regulators because employees were using personal devices to send work-related texts and communications, in breach of industry regulations. In these cases and more, there were clear failures to embed policies and procedures (P&Ps) into the organizational culture. This underscores the importance of engaging the workforce and creating clear and visible policy outlines, as without employee compliance, policies are ineffective, exposing businesses to risk. We [surveyed 400 HR and business leaders](/resources/research/business/the-true-cost-of-rule-breakers-in-workplace-compliance) across the US and UK to understand how they educate employees workplace policies and procedures, and we learned that although lack of compliance is rated a serious and costly problem, educating staff remains a comparative afterthought. Discover the challenges keeping companies from implementing successful compliance policies and procedures, reasons why policies and procedures fail, and how you can better equip your business and employees to avoid fines and remain compliant. ## The monetary cost of non-compliance **Non-compliance costs businesses $1.6 million per year on average**, and most of these costs are easily avoidable by taking a proactive approach to compliance. Nearly **90% of respondents say greater employee accountability would mitigate business risks**. This is why training and development should be at the heart of risk mitigation strategies. So, why haven’t more businesses adopted a proactive approach to compliance? “Too often, policies and procedures are treated as a tick-box exercise. It’s easy to lose sight of their purpose – to drive and influence behavior,” said CYPHER Learning CEO and Founder Graham Glass. When businesses lose sight of the purpose behind compliance, they fail to relay that purpose to employees. And when you’re required to do training that you feel has little to no purpose when you could be doing other things on your to-do list, courses are often rushed and engagement and retention are low. Over 70% of business leaders believe staff don’t “get” the importance of policies and procedures, so engagement is an ongoing battle. Relaying the true value of compliance courses to staff members starts with leadership. By ensuring compliance training is tied to a deeper purpose and that purpose is consistently communicated, you can move your employees toward higher training engagement. Compliance courses are typically thought of as boring. A painfully dry way of learning necessary information to comply with regulations and procedures. But does compliance training really have to be that way? ## Increase engagement and knowledge retention Clearly communicating the purpose behind compliance training is a good starting point for generating more engagement and knowledge retention in training. But with modern training technology, you can easily generate more engaging courses. CYPHER Learning provides a modern learning platform with 3 powers: LMS + LXP + course development driven by leading AI innovation. CYPHER Agent, its best-in-class content creation tool, enables trainers, instructors, and leaders to create and deliver engaging courses in just minutes, upleveling their training and saving valuable time and money. Gamification has a significant impact on employee engagement, motivation, and psychology. However, integrating and developing gamified elements in courses is typically time consuming, keeping many business leaders and course developers from including them. CYPHER Agent can generate gamified, competency-based courses in minutes. CYPHER Agent creates group or individual gamification elements, enabling learners to gain points or compete in periodic leveling challenges. CYPHER Agent aligns gamification elements with competencies so learners can easily visualize their progress and work toward mastering their goals. Elevate your educational and training initiatives, simplify your tech stack, and optimize your workflow. Discover more the power of gamifying courses with CYPHER Agent. ## Accountability amidst ever-changing policies Ultimately, the success of policies and procedures comes down to their implementation and constant monitoring. If you’re training employees on outdated policies and procedures, it’s not going to do your organization much good. Businesses in the survey create new policies on a range of issues, including: social media use (39%), hybrid/remote working (37%), environment/sustainability (36%), and many more. Updating compliance courses is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have to continually update them to stay abreast of changing policies and procedures. On the other hand, continually changing courses makes it difficult to identify what employees have learned and to hold them accountable. Tracking when they took the course and what information was in the course when they took it is a huge challenge. With CYPHER Learning’s competency-based strategy, ensuring compliance, tracking exactly what employees learned and holding employees accountable is both highly effective and efficient. With competency-based learning, each competency is representative of a skill employees must learn to be compliant. These policies are clearly displayed on the platform and show employees which ones they’ve mastered. CYPHER not only ensures your compliance courses cover all of the mandated policies, but it also increases policy visibility and acts as a record for what employees have learned, leading to greater accountability. ## Why CYPHER’s competency-based learning tools are the best approach for compliance: 1. **Automatic competency mapping:**CYPHER Agent can generate entire competency-mapped courses from uploaded compliance policies. Just load a PDF or video into the platform and watch it create a course in just minutes. 2. **Coverage analysis of competencies:** After tagging the compliance content, you can see an overview of how well your course covers the competencies. This enables you to identify weak spots and ensure each compliance mandate is included. 3. **Mastery progress tracking:**Provide learners with a clear understanding of their proficiency levels of different compliance competencies, enabling them to see what they should know and enabling you to hold them accountable. If there’s ever a discrepancy whether or not they learned something, you can reference their mastery progress. ## Embedding compliance in culture It’s clear business and HR leaders value policies and procedures. Nine in ten (89%) say they are key to successfully running their business. The same proportion say that when completed in the right way, policies and procedures can be used as an educational opportunity to reinforce company values and instill a culture of best practice. Instilling a culture of following best practices also entails facilitating effective communication compliance throughout the workforce. Being available for employees to ask questions can be difficult when you’re balancing meetings, a full email inbox, and day-to-day tasks. That’s why CYPHER makes cross-organization communication easier than ever. **Human connection is at the heart of CYPHER**, empowering effective employee communication through a real-time universal translator, built-in messaging, Q&A forums, chat, community groups, and more. CYPHER’s social activity display, the Green Dot feature, enables learners to stay connected and informed, displaying a list of active users with the “online” widget, so learners can easily ask for help regarding confusing compliance content, due dates, and more. ## Key takeaways The monetary cost of non-compliance can be a significant burden for businesses, averaging $1.6 million annually. The key to mitigating these costs lies in adopting a proactive approach to compliance, emphasizing employee accountability through effective training and development strategies. However, compliance courses are often seen as tedious and purposeless, hurting employee engagement and motivation regarding training. To address this, it is essential for leadership to convey the deeper purpose behind compliance and leverage modern training technology to create more engaging training courses. CYPHER Agent can transform mundane compliance training into an engaging experience with gamification elements. It can also simplify and uplevel training with its competency-based strategy. This approach ensures that employees not only cover mandated policies but also gain visibility into their mastery progress, fostering greater accountability. Embedding compliance in the organizational culture is crucial for its success. CYPHER facilitates effective communication and connection among employees, making compliance a shared educational opportunity to reinforce company values and cultivate a culture of best practices.

Glamorous as it may seem, virtual training needs to be well managed if you want it to be a **good experience** both for you and for your attendees. **Master virtual trainers** adopt **five habits** that might be useful to you too. 1. ### Prepare in advance Try to imagine as many scenarios as possible and **prepare for the unexpected**. Find the **best ways to teach** a certain subject in a virtual environment, including presentation options, developing diverse learning materials and anticipating any technical issues. Set **expectations** content delivery, communication process, and learning outcomes. 2. ### Engage with your audience Virtual attendees might feel isolated, uncertain and distracted. Try to **engage them in the learning process** by creating dialogue, inviting social connections, and interacting as frequently as you can. Have **interesting activities** on the platform, that engage learners from the moment they log in. 3. ### Become a multi-tasking guru **Multi-tasking** is a key skill of successful virtual trainers, presenters, and facilitators, especially if you teach several classes at the same time. Stick to the schedule, be a good example for your learners, as this will help them create a routine, stay on track and **work towards their goals**. 4. ### Pleasant voice A study conducted by [Quantified Communication](https://www.quantifiedcommunications.com/blog/wsj-is-this-how-you-really-talk/) showed that **voice has twice the impact** than content in a presentation. In other words, it’s not only what you say, but also **how you say it**. Make the most of your voice’s volume, pitch, tone, breath, and rate of speech. 5. ### Tame the technology You don’t need to come up with a magic wand and solve all **technical issues** every single time (unless you are an IT support trainer). Regardless of your specialization, try to learn how platforms perform across different systems. And always, always **have a plan B!** It will help you relax more, perform better, and love your job.

Just as their ways have become more or less the norm in most corporations, a newer generation shows great promise of bringing an even bigger revolution: **Generation Z**. Early indicators show that Gen Z are increasingly **self-aware, self-reliant, prone towards innovation, and goal-oriented**. Very tech-savvy and with good self-teaching skills, they can perform rather complex tasks even before they get a degree in a certain field. It’s clear that they will have a huge impact once they enter the workforce. Hiring, onboarding, and training them will pose unprecedented challenges for the HR and L&D departments. Here are some things HR and L&D professionals should consider when dealing with this young digital tribe: 1. ### They are true to their values Gen Z will be genuinely engaged in an organization that has an honest and transparently professed mission statement. It has to be politically correct, environmentally aware, and promote equality. Connecting the corporate identity to these well-informed, outspoken individuals requires being able to **incorporate corporate training with informal learning** and ensuring everything is both **digital and engaging**. 2. ### They love to collaborate and to compete Gen Z values interaction through social media and as a result appreciates that sense of community and the opportunity to wager in the construction of **corporate identity and culture**. They would rather be a part of something that is evolving with them than step into something that is already set and reluctant to transform. All learning should be social, whether it is on the job or in formal sessions. **Gamification** works wonders with this generation who loves to see their names on leaderboards. 3. ### Mobility is paramount **E-learning** is their primary preference when it comes to education. They are, after all, accustomed to consuming **online content** whether it is entertaining or informative. The key is finding the right balance between the needs of the learners and organizational goals. E-learning can be backed up by **one to one coaching or hands-on learning** where a set of specialized skills are required. Since we are talking people who have a strong connection to their personal mobile device, it is important that all content be accessible through it. 4. ### Readiness to adapt Most learning platforms already have features that connect learner activity outside recommended courses. It is the first step in integrating **informal learning into formal training**. This connectivity has to be perfected so that the platform will function very similarly to the social media sites that Gen Z are used to – the ability to filter out irrelevant content, to send notifications and to offer an altogether pleasant user experience. It’s also good to take **soft skills** into consideration – **communication, problem solving, time and project management** are all essential in the modern workplace. **Resources** - [Gen Z Research – 2017 National Study on Generation Z](https://genhq.com/gen-z-2017/) - [Gen Zs never watch TV, are stressed Snapchat, and are concerned that technology has ruined their mental health — here's what it's REALLY like to be a teen in 2018](https://www.businessinsider.com/teens-gen-z-generation-z-what-teens-are-like-2018-6?IR=T#arts-engineering-and-medicine-are-the-most-popular-major-choices-27%20target=) - [Brilliance by Design: Creating Learning Experiences That Connect, Inspire, and Engage](https://www.amazon.com/Brilliance-Design-Creating-Learning-Experiences/dp/1605094226/) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

Un índice bajo de participación, por lo general, es uno de los mayores problemas de las clases en línea.  Al principio, los profesores suponen que los estudiantes participarán con agrado dado que se trata de los llamados nativos digitales, por lo que la interacción en línea debería ser sencilla para ellos. En realidad, algunos prosperarán, mientras que otros necesitarán más ayuda para abrirse. Desafortunadamente, los cierres de las escuelas durante la pandemia no ayudaron, y muchos profesores y estudiantes no estaban preparados para la enseñanza solo mediante clases en línea.  Además, incluso a pesar de que las escuelas comenzaron a abrir lentamente, todavía la situación sigue siendo inestable. Algunas han debido cerrar en varias ocasiones, mientras que otras están pensando ahora en adoptar el modelo híbrido de clases para siempre.  Es por esto que aprender cómo involucrar a los estudiantes en línea es todavía una iniciativa que merece la pena. Más información: [Cómo comenzar a impartir clases con un modelo híbrido](/es/blog/k-20/como-comenzar-a-impartir-clases-con-un-modelo-hibrido) ## Consejos prácticos para mejorar los índices de participación en las clases en línea Alentar a que más estudiantes participen en las clases en línea implica darle a cada uno numerosas oportunidades para hacerlo y crear el entorno adecuado. Si te sientes atorado en este momento o quieres que comiencen a abrirse más, estas son siete actividades que puedes probar: ### 1. Rompehielos rápidos Comenzar con la mentalidad adecuada tiene un efecto de bola de nieve, dado que anima a los estudiantes a involucrarse más desde el principio. Es por esto que los rompehielos son divertidos, pero, para ser sinceros, pueden tomar más tiempo del que pensamos. Por otro lado, los rompehielos rápidos pueden incluirse en un lapso de entre tres y cinco minutos.  Aquí están algunos de mis favoritos: - **Cambio de forma:** pide a los estudiantes que apaguen sus cámaras. Tienen dos minutos para buscar algo que vestir como disfraz y cambiar sus nombres para reflejar su nuevo personaje. - **Sondeos:** esto es simple, dado que todo lo que debemos hacer es una pregunta, por ejemplo: “¿Cómo te sientes hoy?” y todos pueden participar en el sondeo. También te ayuda a comprender sus niveles de energía y cómo intercalar con las otras actividades. - **Dibujar el estado de ánimo:** pídeles que usen la pizarra virtual para dibujar su estado de ánimo. - **Chocar los cinco:** pídeles que “choquen los cinco” con el compañero de clases a la derecha, a la izquierda, en posición diagonal, etc. - **Nunca en mi vida…:** publica declaraciones en una pizarra o diapositiva y haz que los estudiantes levanten la mano para decir “Yo sí”. Por ejemplo, una buena declaración puede ser “Tomé una caminata larga esta semana” o “Tuve un perro como mascota”. El objetivo es que todos los estudiantes participen, sin importar lo breve que parezca ser esta interacción.  ### 2. Chats interactivos Los estudiantes tienen más oportunidades de hablar durante clases más reducidas, sin importar el formato. En las sesiones en línea, los profesores pueden pedirles a los estudiantes que hablen si el tamaño de la clase es relativamente pequeño o que usen la función de chat si se trata de una clase más numerosa.  El sistema es muy simple. Los estudiantes [levantan una mano](https://support.zoom.us/hc/es/articles/205566129-Raising-your-hand-in-a-webinar) siempre que tengan una pregunta, de modo que será su turno para hablar. También pueden usar emoticones para expresar que comprendieron un concepto. Por ejemplo, un emoticón de cara sonriente significa que todo está claro, y una cara con el ceño fruncido significa que se necesita más explicación. También puedes buscar formas de expresar “Esta lección es difícil”.  El chat interactivo es más fácil de usar cuando tienes un asistente de enseñanza o alguien que pueda ayudar a moderar el chat, pero puedes hacerlo por tu cuenta para actividades de preguntas y respuestas más breves.  ### 3. Mostrar y repetir en línea Me he dado cuenta de que la actividad de mostrar y repetir siempre está vigente, dado que es una oportunidad para que los estudiantes hablen sobre sí mismos y se sientan identificados con diferentes temas a partir de sus experiencias. En esta instancia, los estudiantes pueden ser el instructor por un momento y hacer que esta actividad sea tan interesante como quieran (videos, presentaciones, collage, etc.).  También puedes alentar a los estudiantes a participar mediante la ludificación del proceso. Por ejemplo, en una actividad, el profesor muestra un diagrama que representa una cadena alimenticia, pero sin las líneas que conectan los conceptos relevantes. En este caso, los estudiantes pueden trabajar de a dos para analizar la conexión entre los niveles tróficos y explicar su proceso de razonamiento. Completan el diagrama para que lo vean otros estudiantes.  La idea detrás de esta actividad es alentar a los estudiantes a hacer presentaciones, esperar su turno, tomar el control, dibujar en la pantalla… cualquier acción que no sea observar pasivamente.  ### 4. Invertir el salón de clases Si la enseñanza directa no funciona con la misma eficacia, podría ser momento de un cambio.  El salón de clases invertido no es nada nuevo, pero ahora más que nunca, los educadores eligen este modelo de enseñanza para elevar los niveles de participación. Descubren que es más fácil para ellos enseñar el contenido a través de lecciones por video o escritas a las que los estudiantes pueden acceder en cualquier momento. Luego, todas las actividades y los debates sincrónicos dependerán de la participación de los estudiantes, lo que los hace dueños del proceso de aprendizaje.  Si estás [usando un LMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/neo), también puedes “entregar contenido gradualmente” a los estudiantes programando lecciones para que estén disponibles semanalmente o cuando las necesites. De esta forma, los estudiantes no se saltarán partes y se centrarán en una sección por vez. ### 5. Retroalimentación de compañeros En la mayoría de los casos, los estudiantes trabajan individualmente o en grupos reducidos, y reciben una calificación, que se considera suficiente. Sin embargo, ¿qué sucedería si las asignaciones fueran más interactivas? ¿Y si aprendieran a proporcionarse retroalimentación entre sí? Un buen ejemplo es la redacción de ensayos, que requiere tiempo y práctica. Escribir un ensayo breve y hacer que otro estudiante proporcione retroalimentación también mejora sus habilidades de pensamiento crítico y les enseña cómo recibir retroalimentación sobre su trabajo.  El ejemplo anterior es una actividad asincrónica excelente, pero esto también puede hacerse durante las clases sincrónicas. El profesor expresa una indicación, como “Escribir la introducción de un ensayo”. Luego, se organiza una ronda de retroalimentación rápida en la que los estudiantes expresan sus opiniones sobre la base de preguntas que aparecen en pantalla, por ejemplo:  ¿Qué es lo que me gusta sobre su trabajo? ¿Qué podría mejorarse? ¿Qué haría de manera diferente? ¿Qué aprendí de su trabajo? Este tipo de ejercicio es de mutuo beneficio y puede estar acompañado de excelentes ideas para mejorar. Además, las posibilidades indican que la mayoría de los estudiantes recordarán las opiniones que tienen sus compañeros y las usarán como referencia futura. Más información: [Mentalidad asincrónica para un mejor aprendizaje en línea](/es/blog/k-20/mentalidad-asincronica-para-un-mejor-aprendizaje-en-linea) ### 6. Juego de etiquetado en línea Juego “*Tag, you’re it!*” Este juego clásico funciona igual de bien en el salón de clases virtual, con algunas adaptaciones. Por ejemplo, un profesor expresa una indicación y, según ella, los estudiantes se turnan para responder preguntas o proporcionar la respuesta correcta. Al finalizar, pueden nominar a otro para que continúe. Para hacer que sea incluso más divertido, pueden etiquetar a la persona en los comentarios con la @, la función de mención o escribir su nombre/alias en la pizarra virtual. La regla es etiquetar a diferentes personas todo el tiempo, de modo que todos tengan la oportunidad de participar. El mayor beneficio es que todos los estudiantes tienen que prestar atención en caso de ser etiquetados. Esto funciona para cualquier tipo de actividad, como resolver problemas matemáticos o responder preguntas sobre un tema en la clase de Historia.  ### 7. Lluvia de ideas en línea Los estudiantes necesitan las interacciones con sus compañeros de la misma forma que necesitan la interacción entre el profesor y el estudiante. Una actividad sencilla para contrarrestar esto es la lluvia de ideas en línea. Los estudiantes pueden dividirse en salas de conferencias para grupos y usar una herramienta de colaboración, como Google Docs o SharePoint. Tendrán una cierta cantidad de tiempo para hacer la lluvia de ideas, investigar, resolver problemas, etc. Para garantizar que cada grupo esté dedicado a la tarea, puedes entrar en las diferentes salas. Si necesitan algo más versátil para escribir ideas o dibujar, siempre está la opción de las pizarras de colaboración en línea. ### Idea adicional: Reunir retroalimentación Si bien definir las expectativas es algo que haces al comienzo de una clase, la retroalimentación puede ofrecerse siempre que necesites modificar algo. Un índice bajo de participación puede ser consecuencia de muchos factores. Necesitas separar lo que puedes hacer como educador de otros factores externos, como la necesidad de una mejor conexión a internet. Las encuestas son el modo más rápido de reunir retroalimentación e identificar otras áreas problemáticas. Además, si piensas que los estudiantes se sentirán más cómodos expresando sus opiniones a través de encuestas anónimas, ¿por qué no probarlas? Una gran idea es usar más preguntas de opción múltiple en lugar de preguntas abiertas. Por ejemplo, pedirles que “Clasifiquen las actividades de la clase de la siguiente manera: a. Muy interactivas. b. Moderadamente interactivas. c. Para nada interactivas”.  Por lo general, los estudiantes reciben retroalimentación sobre su trabajo. Poder participar y ofrecer retroalimentación al profesor es un cambio bien recibido. ## Conclusión Encontrar tu ritmo como profesor en línea es una experiencia de aprendizaje, no algo que sucede de la noche a la mañana.  Manejar el salón de clases es complejo y todos los profesores encontrarán su propio estilo para involucrar a los estudiantes. Mientras tanto, lo mejor que puedes hacer es implementar nuevas actividades que darán a cada estudiante una posibilidad de participar.

But when it comes to employee training, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every unique workplace or training environment. That’s especially true with individual contributors—some are naturally more reluctant, while others gladly embrace new ideas and concepts. Online and remote training methods introduce new ways to incorporate new tools, like a digital [learning management system (LMS)](/business) to boost inclusivity. And according to Pew Research Center, [56% of employees want to prioritize inclusivity](https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/lusion-in-the-workplace/) efforts in the workplace. The question for employers is tricky—how can you encourage collaborative learning among all employees, while at the same time, boosting the efficiency of your training programs overall? Let’s tackle this challenge by addressing how to build more diverse and inclusive training programs that cater to the needs of different learners. ## Setting a foundation—how to build an inclusive training program Before we introduce training fundamentals, it’s important to understand what inclusivity really means. Although there are plenty of definitions and perspectives out there, the [Center for Creative Leadership](https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/what-is-inclusion-in-the-workplace-a-guide-for-leaders/) offers a helpful definition: “Inclusion is when everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued. It’s a common part of organizational mission statements. But it’s also a profoundly personal experience.” By creating inclusive training courses and programs, you can engage all trainees in a memorable and useful learning experience. This process also means designing content that prioritizes personal growth, development, and values. Fortunately, there are several tools and strategies for creating a more inclusive training program, regardless of whether you’re instructing a large enterprise group or offering niche training to a specific team or department. From the materials and channels you use, to the way that you encourage interaction and collaboration among peers or managers, there are plenty of ways to foster more inclusivity in corporate training environments. Let’s explore some of them. ### 1. Start by setting the “rules” of inclusivity First things first, inclusive training must always begin with an inclusive approach. This refers to how you, the instructor, relate to your learners and how they relate to one another. To make sure everyone feels comfortable during training sessions, establish a few basic ground rules for inclusion. The most important one is that learners respect one another. Because large organizations often hire many employees from unique cultural backgrounds, it may seem difficult to integrate everyone into one cohesive training program. To ensure all learners feel welcome, encourage basic inclusion by: - Accepting other people’s opinions regardless of their race, nationality, or religion; - Refraining from jokes or comments that are offensive (racially or gender-wise) - Cooperating with any colleague when assigned group tasks #### Maintaining a sense of respect and dignity during training Even as adults, learners could make mistakes or violate basic inclusion principles without realizing it. A joke or a comment certain cultural stereotypes or [gender biases can negatively impact the workplace](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01400/full), causing low productivity and self-confidence issues. Redirecting and getting back on track is always the goal. Be willing to have a private conversation with any learner who might be engaging in non-inclusive behaviors. If an employee has made offensive comments, politely and candidly tell them how others might have perceived those remarks. Also, kindly ask them to refrain from similar comments in the future. Furthermore, to make it clear that you emphasize inclusion during training, highlight the ground rules at various times throughout the course. #### Gathering input from diverse populations To ensure that your procedures and “ground rules” are widely accepted by all participants, take time to solicit and gather feedback from diverse populations. It’s wise to do this throughout the training process, from development, to implementation, and beyond. Remember—new perspectives give you the tools and insights you need to build effective and inclusive training in the first place. Special call-outs or gratitude moments during your training sessions can also help under-represented groups feel seen and heard.

Diversify your course format Effective and inclusive training must incorporate a variety of course formats. Although traditional in-person training is still relevant, the move to remote learning has introduced the popularity of blended or hybrid training. Luckily, there are many ways to overcome the challenges of hybrid training. In a digitally-powered working environment, it’s no surprise that more than [89 percent of employees want access to training materials anywhere](https://www.lorman.com/blog/post/39-statistics-that-prove-the-value-of-employee-training). Delivering inclusive training depends on being able to offer this kind of flexibility and adaptability. To optimize your company’s training environment, combine the best of both learning worlds—digital and in-person. Meet trainees face to face for short sessions whenever possible. This move helps promote collaboration, relational wellbeing, and active participation among the learning group. Simultaneously, rely on digital materials to fill in any gaps in learning, or to give attendees more options for incorporating training around work responsibilities. #### Gamifying learning content plays a role To further incentivize your training programs, you can also gamify certain elements to make them more motivational and engaging. Ask learners to complete certain challenges, earn skills badges, or acquire new job-related skills through [gamification](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification). Audio and [video elements](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/videos/business/overview) also play a role when it comes to diversifying your delivery methods. One method is to speed up learning by presenting an audio version that complements written course materials. In this way, trainees can complete courses faster and move at a more independent pace. Plus, you might be able to proactively assist learners who have cognitive challenges or reading impairments ### 3. Challenge trainees with practical and collaborative tasks [One in three employees considers their organization’s training outdated](https://www.lorman.com/blog/post/39-statistics-that-prove-the-value-of-employee-training). Unfortunately, that’s because many trainers stick to what they know best, rather than what would serve modern learners and employees. But practical, responsive instruction is one of the most inclusive ways to prepare learners for developing new skills. Practical learning can make a deeper impact, while promoting greater knowledge retention. At the same time, acquiring new skills through practice enhances employees’ job-related capabilities, which is exactly what organizations need for sustainable growth. Plus, practical training is more engaging and often involves teamwork—a natural way to boost inclusivity. Here are a few tips for making your training more inclusive through practical learning and application. #### Assign collaborative tasks during training A positive, collaborative learning culture can ensure that everyone feels welcome at your company, and in your specific training sessions. With socialization comes a greater sense of belonging and community, which can indirectly improve work satisfaction and employee retention. Learning and development can play a pivotal role in enhancing team collaboration. To make sure that it does, assign practical collaborative tasks during training sessions. For example, if you’re conducting marketing training, divide learners into several groups. Then, assign an imagined “client” to each group. Ask the groups to create realistic buyer personas by working together and brainstorming new business ideas. To make exercises like these truly inclusive, make an effort to group team members together who may not already know each other, or work together. It’s even possible to create groups remotely, and it may even boost engagement in virtual training classrooms. #### Ask trainees to deliver short presentations Another way to make your training more inclusive is by letting trainees take the lead. Ask each learner to share their knowledge (both personal and professional) to the broader group. To do this without putting individuals on the spot, you can use short presentations that you announce before they’re due. For example, in each training session, one participant would be expected to conduct basic pre-research and talk for five minutes that day’s training topic. By introducing low-stakes participation and contribution, you can encourage independent learning, socialization, and even a safe way to practice public speaking. #### Engage trainees in career-based roleplay Plenty of corporate training programs focus on key topics that drive the business forward, including customer retention and satisfaction strategies. There are dozens of topics to choose from in a niche like this, including effective sales tactics to conflict management. In scenarios like these, trainees learn what they should reasonably do in anticipated customer interactions. But if those learners don’t have the opportunity to put new knowledge into practice, they might face daunting challenges when it’s time to put those skills to the test at work. To better equip and empower your learners, take a practical and collaborative approach. For example, teach learners the primary conflict mitigation techniques of your business. Instead of merely asking them to complete a quiz to assess their understanding, divide them into pairs and give them a live role-play test. By using this strategy, each person plays two roles: the customer and the support agent. After the first pairs complete the exercise, pair trainees with a different person. By rotating through partners and real-life business scenarios, instructors can successfully increase cooperation, improve inclusion, and assess trainees’ knowledge and practical abilities. #### Prioritize reflection and feedback As you give learners new hurdles to jump through during training, remember to pause and reflect. Focus on continuous feedback mechanisms that help trainees give real-time feedback on how practical assignments made them feel. This step could be a normal part of your regular [assessment and evaluation methods](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation). To get started, you can ask participants important questions like: - Which practical situation or challenge was most relevant to your job duties? - How well were you able to learn when partnered with a fellow classmate? - Did you feel like any of the career-based roleplay assignments were inaccurate? Why? Unless they’re asked directly, many training participants won’t know whether it’s safe to share their genuine experiences. Offering a well-supported feedback loop is one of the ways to keep inclusivity a focus, even as you develop new courses or programs in the future. ## Final thoughts on inclusivity in training programs An inclusive training environment is one in which all learners feel welcome and comfortable sharing their ideas. Every training program has the potential to achieve inclusion—from its design, implementation, and feedback processes. Ultimately, how you promote interaction and respect within the training group is one of the biggest ways that learners will feel supported or not. Ready to design and automate training programs that have inclusivity and human connection built right into the platform?

Even organizations with a sound system in place sometimes fail in their employee training programs. All this, despite thorough training needs analysis, a robust instructional design strategy, and beta-testing. It's apparent when participant feedback focuses mainly on unrelated parts of the training and team leaders report no performance improvements. For example, scrap learning rates in organizations [can go up to 80 percent or more](https://explorance.com/blog/what-is-scrap-learning/). This is a staggering number and comes with a bill to match. To avoid this, **make sure you are thorough with the training needs analysis**, even if it means pushing back on managerial demand. It’s important to find the root cause of the issue and provide a solution. Whether it’s related to learning or the need for another approach. Each training intervention is different, and so are organizational circumstances. However, when development programs fail and obstacles prevent adequate training, it’s essential to dig deeper and find the causes of failure. Moving forward and ensuring future programs meet their objectives is also predicated on a thorough analysis of past results and what led to them. ## What are the most common reasons why employee training fails? There are many factors you should consider when evaluating the causes of training failure. Some have to do with design and deployment, others are related to the human factor and external causes. Let’s see what they are: 1. ### An outdated LMS Whether your company delivers most of its training online or opts for a hybrid approach, having an up-to-date and reliable LMS is paramount. Even the most skilled instructional designers can’t do much on an outdated platform that’s difficult to use. Today’s learners are highly discerning and don’t like obsolete or unengaging learning materials. This is why it’s important to look under the hood when choosing the right LMS for your company. A crucial aspect is flexibility. With accelerated technological developments, you want to make sure you can grow and incorporate relevant items and technologies. [Artificial intelligence, big data, AR, and VR](https://elearningindustry.com/technology-trends-changing-elearning-6-emerging) are some examples. The way things look now, the intelligent platform appears to be the future of corporate training, so try to look for a platform that is constantly updated. 2. ### Lack of facilitator skills I've seen this often, especially for technical training. You have a subject matter expert (SME) who everyone turns to whenever there's a question. However, this person might not be the right one when it comes to delivering all the information. While SME interventions are beneficial to learning, the results will be far from good when they don’t have experience with facilitation. SMEs are generally passionate their field of expertise. They also tend to provide many more details than needed leading to cognitive overload. It's best to always **pair up an SME with a professional trainer for optimal results**. 3. ### Boring learning intervention Even if the training subject is highly relevant to the organizational context, it doesn’t mean that participants will automatically be interested or engaged. When everyone's attention is drawn by crafty marketers, successful influencers, and skilled game designers, L&D needs to step up the engagement and interactivity game as well. Including challenges in the training session, gamifying part of the content, and making sure there are varied presentation methods are a few ideas to avoid participant boredom. Whether the session is in person or online, it's essential to **encourage learners to interact and share** ideas and opinions. 4. ### Unaddressed issues Having an elephant in the room is counterproductive to learning. Whether the issue is that employees didn’t want to attend in the first place or that the organizational context is volatile, learners won't focus on the content if issues remain unaddressed. This situation can be very tricky. Once you address the problem (which you absolutely must do if you want a chance at smooth training delivery), it could take a lot of time to solve it. Since ignoring the problem is not an option, use tact and empathy to temporarily defuse the situation so that there's room for learning. 5. ### Too much theoretical information There’s a lot of talk meetings that could have easily been emails. It’s the same with PowerPoint slides that could have very well been anything else: videos, practical demonstrations, stories, infographics, etc. It's important to remember that the point of a learning session is to have an impact. And that's only possible if trainees understand and remember crucial information. It’s better to give ample opportunity for practice. Delivering slides upon slides of facts and figures is likely to lead to cognitive overload and the inability to tell what is crucial and what isn’t. With this in mind, make sure you chunk up the information into smaller units, include meaningful imagery, and use lists and infographics. 6. ### Lack of clear rules Things can get easily out of control unless everyone knows and has agreed to basic house rules. In an effort to be likable, trainers sometimes forgo this part, and it usually ends in chaos. In online training, you might want to specify from the start that cameras should stay on and microphones off except for times when participants wish to share something. It's also a good idea to explain how communication will work. So, everyone will be able to participate and understand what everyone else is saying. Some other "training etiquette" rules are: keeping communication positive, staying on the subject, respecting diverse points of view, and thoroughly considering one’s words before speaking. In the case of e-learning courses, it is paramount to **inform the participants how they should interact and participate** – using the chat for posting questions and sharing ideas, collaborating with peers on various tasks, etc. 7. ### No performance support system What happens before and, most importantly, after the training has an enormous impact on its success. Attitudes and behaviors are difficult to change, even if employees are well-aware it's for the best. A [performance support system](https://www.dashe.com/blog/what-is-performance-support-and-why-wont-people-stop-talking--it) aims to motivate people when they are struggling or facing a complicated challenge. L&D teams should capitalize on real-life problem-solving opportunities and learning experiences by creating tools that assist employees in overcoming issues. After completing a training module, learning specialists **monitor behavior and performance and step in with targeted tools whenever necessary.** 8. ### There's no follow-up Even if training is highly engaging, learners are not likely to remember and use the information, let alone turn it into a habit if it all stops with the “Thank you!” slide. Learning is a process, not an event, and as such, learners need opportunities to put the new skills into practice. The best way to ensure this is to **get team leaders and managers on board. Then, ask them to monitor and support employees after the intervention**. There are also other ways to ensure an appropriate follow-up: sending quizzes via your learning management system sometime after the competition of the course, presenting graphs on performance improvement, asking attendees directly what skills they found most helpful, and more. 9. ### The timing is off Training can fail because it’s deployed at the wrong time. This is often the case in a classroom setting. When logistics are pricy (venue, travel expenses, etc.), companies look to maximize the number of learners. This means that employees will be taken out of their regular schedule, leading to a lack of motivation or even disgruntlement. Employee training is doomed to fail when learners see it as a disruptive factor. The best time to train employees is precisely when they need it and are motivated to learn. For example, before a significant change, when there is a challenge when a new skill becomes relevant to the job. Learning on demand is ideal because it gives individuals the freedom to choose what and when they learn. Companies need to invest in modern LMSs with an extensive catalog of courses, robust analytics, and a recommendation system. Thus, they can guide learners towards suitable materials for achieving their goals. 10. ### Training was not the solution This happens when L&D departments don't get to do a proper needs analysis and respond to a training request without having the whole picture. This can also happen when they know that the problem won’t be solved through training. However, they don’t have the agency to convince managers to invest in other solutions. It's a rather delicate scenario, but it’s always important to explain and provide viable alternatives. Coaching or mentoring programs, access to an extensive learning library so that employees can choose what they feel they need, better organizational support, or an evaluation and re-calibration of procedures and processes are some solutions. It’s more productive to **take a step back and analyze the real reasons why a learning intervention didn’t have the desired outcomes**. If the issue turns out to be a lack of resources or motivation, enrolling employees in another training is a further stressor and a waste of resources. ## Wrapping up There are many reasons why employee training fails and finding the root cause can feel like playing detective. However, a good diagnosis ensures that future learning interventions will be better planned and executed. Being aware of these potential pitfalls allows L&D specialists to deliver training that meets their objectives.

This progression not only facilitates the practical adoption of edtech but also encourages educators to innovate and transform learning experiences. ### Substitution: The starting point At its most basic, technology acts as a direct substitute for traditional tools, with no functional change. For example, using a word processor instead of pen and paper. While this step doesn’t enhance the learning process, it’s often the first, crucial step toward technological integration, familiarizing both educators and students with digital tools. ### Augmentation: Adding value Augmentation still substitutes traditional methods but with added functionality. An example is using a word processor that automatically checks spelling and grammar, thus improving the writing process. This stage begins to enhance learning by making tasks more efficient and engaging. ### Modification: Transforming tasks Modification leverages technology to significantly redesign parts of the learning task. Here, technology is used to facilitate collaborative writing and feedback through cloud-based documents, enhancing students’ ability to work together and receive real-time input. This level represents a qualitative change in how technology is used in the learning process. ### Redefinition: Creating new possibilities The pinnacle of the SAMR Model, Redefinition, allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable. An example is students using virtual reality to explore historical sites or simulate scientific experiments, transcending physical classroom limitations and offering unique, immersive learning experiences. ## Implementing the SAMR Model: Practical steps - **Start small:** Begin with substitution to integrate familiar technology, gradually moving towards more innovative applications. - **Encourage collaboration:** Use technology to foster collaboration among students, such as through shared online documents or educational platforms. - **Seek feedback:** Regularly gather input from students on their experiences with technology in the classroom to understand its impact and areas for improvement. - **Professional development:** Continuously seek opportunities for professional growth to stay abreast of the latest edtech trends and tools. - **Reflect and adjust:** Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of technology integration, aiming to progress through the SAMR levels without overwhelming students or sacrificing educational goals. ## A journey of continuous exploration Integrating edtech in the classroom is a journey of exploration and adaptation, guided by the SAMR Model. By understanding and applying this framework, educators can not only make informed decisions technology integration but also unlock its potential to transform teaching and learning. As we move forward, the model serves as a reminder that the goal of edtech is not just to replace traditional methods but to enhance, innovate, and redefine education for the digital age.

This truth applies particularly to modern students, who are growing and learning in an increasingly digital culture. Students should be taught to use technology in a responsible way, ensuring the safety of online environments for years to come. A comprehensive digital citizenship curriculum plays a crucial role in educating students online safety, managing inappropriate content, and securing digital devices. In their book, [Digital Citizenship in Schools](https://books.google.com.au/books//Digital_Citizenship_in_Schools.html?id=YwQmAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y), Mike Ribble and Gerald Bailey talk how technology influences the way people interact and the concept of digital citizenship in the classroom.  The authors define nine elements of digital citizenship, related to technology usage inside and outside the school environment, which we’ll explore here. ## What is digital citizenship? Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses computers, the internet, and digital devices to engage with society on any level.  It involves understanding how to use technology to connect with others, empathize with others, and create lasting relationships. Essentially, digital citizenship is developing good digital habits and avoiding behaviors that can harm oneself or others.  For students (especially in the K-20 space), this means learning to navigate the digital world with respect, responsibility, and awareness of how personal actions have a broader impact. ### Why is digital citizenship important? In today’s world, digital citizenship is more important than ever. With the rise of social media, online communication, and the ubiquitous presence of digital devices, understanding how to navigate the online world safely and responsibly is crucial.  Digital citizenship education plays a vital role in preparing students for this reality. By teaching digital citizenship skills, educators can help students use digital tools effectively, communicate respectfully, and protect their privacy and security online. This education fosters good digital citizens who can thrive in the interconnected digital landscape. ## 9 elements of digital citizenship for today’s learners Now, let’s unpack some of the most important components of digital citizenship according to research from Ribble and Bailey. 1. ### Digital access Although we live in a digital era, not everyone has access to technology. Teachers must be aware of this digital divide, and consider how it affects access to education and curriculum. Not all students can afford a computer, a smartphone and Internet access. That’s why educators need to provide suitable alternatives to prepare students for their digital lives. 2. ### Digital commerce Digital commerce highlights how important it is to tackle safety issues related to using money in the digital world.  Digital technology is also used in the classroom to teach students the various career paths that they could choose in the future, emphasizing the importance of using technology responsibly and safely. Understanding [how e-commerce works](https://www.x-cart.com/ecommerce-101.html) is a must, both as consumers and as potential entrepreneurs, business leaders, and connected citizens. 3. ### Digital communication Online communication has become so common that students forget they are doing so in a virtual space, where miscommunication happens often. The Internet has given a voice to anyone who needs it. In turn, this requires empathy and appropriate reactions from its users. Teaching empathy is crucial to foster better online interactions among internet users. 4. ### Digital literacy (and digital literacy curriculum) Digital literacy also includes the ability to differentiate between real and fake content, which can have a negative impact on the lives of your students. They need to learn which content is good for them and what they should avoid in order to lead a balanced life. Incorporating digital citizenship lessons into the curriculum is essential to effectively teach topics such as digital security and responsibility. Comprehensive digital citizenship curricula prepare students for the digital world by providing structured programs and supplemental resources. #### Evaluating online sources With the vast amount of information available online, it’s more important than ever for individuals to learn how to distinguish between credible and non-credible sources.  A critical evaluation process always involves understanding: - How to identify biases - How to evaluate evidence - How to recognize the purpose of online content - How to distinguish between safe and unsafe content By teaching students how to evaluate online sources with clarity and discernment, we can promote critical thinking and digital literacy, enabling them to make informed decisions in the digital world.  Evaluation is the cornerstone of any digital literacy curriculum, and it’s crucial for developing responsible digital citizens who can navigate the internet with confidence. 5. ### Digital etiquette We should teach digital citizenship to students to become “digitally fluent”. Educators can pull lessons from various sources or utilize comprehensive curricula to teach digital citizenship, emphasizing the importance of preparing students for the digital world. Digital etiquette shapes their online behavior to respond positively to online content. In this way, their online attitude is reflected in the real world and vice versa. 6. ### Digital law The online environment has room for both positive and negative interactions. Digital law deals with legal rights and restrictions governing technology usage. To prevent any kind of online crime, no matter how serious, students as digital citizens need to know the law and how it applies to them in particular. 7. ### Rights and responsibilities (digital citizenship education) The online world has its regulations and a user has rights and responsibilities. The Internet can also be used for harmful purposes and anyone needs protection against [cyberbullying](https://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it), for instance. Schools should approach this subject in classrooms, hold students accountable for their actions and also report any misconduct in the virtual environment. 8. ### Digital health and wellness in the digital world Students should be taught to protect themselves and others from potential harm and ask for help if they need it. Making use of online resources is a plus, but everyone should be aware of the dangers as well. 9. ### Digital security Security in the online world is important. When using devices at school or at , students should be aware of potential malware attacks. Teachers should explain how to prevent them from happening and how to protect their devices as much as possible. ## What's next? New!

CYPHER Learning. It is truly amazing in everything you can do, including synthetic audio. The pedagogical capabilities, and the interactivity possibilities. It even includes the hallucinations issue upfront, before anything you do - and the importance of verification. CYPHER uses multiple LLMs, which is another massive win for me, as it is an excellent route. But that is beyond the discussion around the course builder, which I refer to now as a content creation tool. That said, I would change some wording on the Pedagogical, such as "Socratic method," which many people will have no idea what that is - nor should they know. I mean, I never, when building a course - interactive and engaging, said, "You know, maybe I should use the Socratic method." Anyway. Any vendor who shows you a content creator tool with Gen-AI and says it is the best, I am telling you that so far, this one is.

This is especially impactful for organizations with hundreds or thousands of learners, where maintaining consistent engagement can be a complex task. Structuring training like a game enhances motivation, peer collaboration, and skill acquisition. ### What gamified learning offers enterprises Organizations managing large learner populations face several challenges: - Sustaining learner engagement across departments and regions. - Delivering scalable onboarding and compliance training. - Accurately tracking learner progress and performance. Gamification addresses these challenges by: - Promoting sustained participation and motivation through goal-oriented tasks, badges, and leaderboards. - Enabling automated tracking of milestones and achievements across individual and team performance. - Supporting self-assessment and mastery through leveled progression and performance feedback. CYPHER Learning supports site-wide, team-based, course-based, and learning-path gamification. Points, badges, periodic leveling, and leaderboards encourage participation at individual, group, and organizational levels. This system is fully configurable by admins, with automated point allocation and reporting integrations. ## Verified facts gamification across CYPHER Learning - CYPHER Agent for course creators can automatically generate gamification elements—such as badges, point systems, levels tied to milestones, and games aligned with skills and content. All elements are editable to align with learning objectives. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/product-tours/ai-enabled-gamification) - CYPHER Agent for learners does not automatically include gamification features or deliver nudges. It is the instructor or administrator who must enable gamification in course design. Notifications or reminders (e.g. nudges to re‑engage learners) must be configured separately using the platform’s built-in notification system. CYPHER does not send these nudges automatically via CYPHER Agent. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://cypherlearning.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/instructors-cypher-agent) ## Key gamification elements with CYPHER Learning - **Points and progression:**Learners earn measurable points for completing tasks and achieving quiz results. - **Badges and achievements:** Visual recognition for reaching milestones or mastering content. - **Leaderboards and team challenges:**Friendly competition encourages engagement across individuals, groups, and departments. - **Levels and learning paths:**Structured advancement in content and competency, with increasing difficulty levels. These gamification features support scalable deployment, measurable engagement, and consistent progress tracking for organizations with large learner bases. ## How CYPHER Learning supports gamified learning CYPHER Learning is designed to help larger organizations launch and manage gamified learning programs at scale. Key features include: [Sources: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/guides/business/how-to-make-learning-engaging-with-gamification), [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification), [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/reporting-and-analytics) ### 1. Seamless point and badge management Learners earn points and badges automatically as they complete lessons, assignments, or engage in discussions, without administrative overhead.  ### 2. Customized learning paths Create tailored tracks that guide different employee roles through required skill sets, with progress levels and milestones clearly defined.  ### 3. Advanced analytics dashboard Monitor learner engagement and achievement trends across your organization. Spot teams excelling or needing extra support.  ### 4. CYPHER Agent vs. Automation CYPHER Agent uses AI to deliver personalized learning recommendations based on each learner’s role, behavior, and progress. However, it does not send nudges or reminders. Instead, the platform offers automation rules for non-AI workflows set up by administrators to re-engage inactive learners through triggered actions, such as sending messages or enrolling them in courses. ## Case scenario: enterprise onboarding with gamification A multinational technology company with over 500 learners implemented a gamified onboarding program via CYPHER Learning and CYPHER Agent for learners. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification) ### Steps in the program 1. New hires join a “Quest for Success” pathway categorized into levels. 2. Learners earn points after watching training or completing quizzes. 3. Badges unlock at key milestones (e.g., “Customer empathy,” “Product basics”). 4. Weekly team challenges encourage collaboration. 5. CYPHER Agent for learners provides personalized content recommendations based on progress and behavior. ### Results - 65% increase in onboarding completion rate. - 20% faster ramp-up to productivity compared to cohorts without gamification. - 85% of learners rated the experience as “highly engaging” in post-course surveys. ## Best practices for scalable gamification 1. **Start with learning goals**Clearly define the skills you want your learners to acquire before adding game mechanics. 2. **Link rewards to meaningful outcomes**Ensure points and badges reflect performance that matters to both learners and the organization. 3. **Balance competition and collaboration**Combine leaderboards with team challenges so learners connect, not just compete. 4. **Adapt with AI assistance**CYPHER Agent for learners utilizes AI to suggest relevant modules or challenges based on the learner's pace and knowledge gaps. 5. **Evaluate continuously**Utilize advanced analytics to evaluate which game elements are practical and refine them accordingly. ## Overcoming common challenges - **Budget and resource constraints**Pre-built gamification tools in CYPHER Learning reduce the need for custom development. - **Ensuring lasting motivation**Regularly refresh challenges and introduce thematic campaigns (e.g., “Innovation Week”). ## Why larger organizations benefit most Larger organizations—those with 500 or more active learners monthly—gain the most from gamified learning because: - Group-based motivation scales better than one-off incentives. - Centralized analytics reveal trends at department or location levels. - Structured progression and AI guidance empower consistent skill-building.

With geographical distance becoming more of an inconvenience rather than an insurmountable obstacle, companies everywhere are able to hire people in different countries, regions or continents. Especially those that operate in the knowledge-based economy, where employees only need a computer with an internet connection to do their job. HR professionals seem to have the world in their backyards. They can find the best talent to help their companies for clients grow. But having access to an unlimited pool of candidates also comes with challenges. We’ll get to that later on. ## 4 Things to consider when upskilling remote workers Considering the fast-paced business environment, one thing is certain: upskilling employees is the base of progress. No matter what they do — nor where they are located — companies need to ensure the best talent management and talent development programs are put into place for all of their employees. This brings on even more challenges for HR and L&D professionals, as managing and upskilling employees who work in remote locations require the application of specific strategies and tactics. Here are a few things to consider before setting out on that journey. 1. ### Time zones There are currently [38 time zones](https://www.timeanddate.com/time/current-number-time-zones.html) around the globe. If a company is based in the UK and only expanded throughout Europe there is at most a three hour difference to work with. But if a UK company has people working from Southeast Asia and anywhere in the Americas the differences in local times get harder to manage; but not impossible. It's easy to forget time zones when scheduling interviews, meetings or training sessions but this is usually a mistake only made once. After an important virtual get-together has to suffer because someone mixed up the time, everyone will make sure that won't happen again. 2. ### Tech tools There is a cornucopia of options when it comes to tech tools that help companies deal with time differences and employees working in remote locations. Technology is actually the driver behind remote jobs, after all. After ensuring each employee has a personal computer or a laptop and an internet connection they can use to get their job done there are three main types of software that should be taken into consideration: **An LMS with features that enable asynchronous learning.** All great learning management systems for businesses do that, but there are still plenty of training solutions that don't. Asynchronous learning allows employees to access training courses, engage in learning activities, collaborate with their peers and communicate with instructors — when the time is most convenient for them. Take that, time zones! **Chat tools that are always on.** These can be an integral part of the above-mentioned LMS or stand-alone solutions. For the training part it may be better to encourage the use of the [LMS chat tool](/tour/human-connection), as all learning will happen in the same place — courses, questions, answers and all. But since people are social beings and they learn from one another even more than from formal training materials and discussions, opting for a stand-alone chat tools is also a good idea. Learning can happen in even in the most casual of conversations between employees. **Tech that supports video calls.** Again, this can be an integral part of the LMS or a stand-alone solution. Whatever it is, it's crucial for video calls — especially long-distance ones — to happen smoothly. It’s not only an annoyance for remote employees to get a frozen screen of an instructor or to have to cover their ears because of screechy sounds when video calls have poor quality; they can lose valuable information during the learning process and also valuable working time. 3. ### Training courses [Professional development of employees](/blog/business/tackling-the-talent-skills-gap-with-a-holistic-skills-development-strategy) (remote or not) is the basis of company growth, as skillful workers put their organisation on the right track for success: onward and upward. That's why training programs need to meet employees learning needs. When creating training courses for remote workers instructional designers need to make them not only engaging, but also culturally appropriate. Having a full understanding of someone's culture will help L&D professionals avoid any mishap. Doing research on what's fit and what's not in different situations and corroborating that data and various ideas with people belonging to that culture will help them do just that. Also, instructors need to keep in mind to enroll workers in courses that are relevant to them. Courses that are mandatory in one location can become optional in another and completely irrelevant in another. Last but by no means least, training programs for employees in remote locations need to allow informal learning to happen. The chat tools mentioned before are a first step in supporting this, and there are also other solutions that do that as well. What's important is to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable in sharing knowledge and aware of that happening. 4. ### Translated learning materials I've touched upon this subject before — on [how to make multilingual training courses relevant for a global workforce](https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/deliver/training/how-to-make-multilingual-training-courses-relevant-for-a-global-workforce). The main idea is that, if you're a company operating in various geographical areas, many of your employees will speak different languages; that’s inevitable. So in order to avoid any work related risks, translating training courses or creating new ones from scratch in the native language of those employees might be really worth the struggle. After you decide on which target language(s) you should translate or create training courses into, you need to answer the *How?* part: opt for translation technology such as Google Translate, turn to professional translation services or both. Translating training materials can be a costly endeavour but it can also make a huge difference on knowledge transfer. ## All in all Thanks to the spread of the internet and that of technology that supports and enhances remote work, more and more companies have access to a wider pool of possible talent. But no matter where they are based, all employees need to constantly get their skills set updated. HR and L&D professionals need to overcome plenty of challenges to help and support remote workers do that. If they learn to work around time zones, pick the right tech tools and translate training materials when needed, they have higher chances of success.

Everyone learns concepts on their own timelines. Questions, while important, prolong lessons. And sometimes, it just takes longer to explain concepts than you anticipated. That’s where blended learning comes in. It allows teachers to archive content so students can revisit it when they need a refresher or more time to grasp content. However, trying to accommodate students both virtually and physically is no easy task.Are you struggling to… Quickly adapt resources for online students and catalog them in one easily accessible place Personalize content to the specific needs of your students so they can learn at their own pace Provide instant and adequate feedback to online learners Quickly measure and track your students’ educational progress, strengths, and weaknesses using more than just grades Promote collaboration and engagement in an online setting ## Deliver a more flexible and individualized learning experience inside and outside of the classroom Need an educational approach that integrates face-to-face learning experiences with online education? Are you wanting a blended learning environment that uses… The face-to-face driver model Digital learning is used alongside traditional teaching to increase success in educational outcomes. The rotation model Students rotate among different modes of learning on a fixed schedule, such as rotating among online learning, small-group instruction, and pencil-and-paper assignments. The flex model Students experience a blend of modalities on a flexible schedule, giving them more control over their pace and pace throughout a course. The self-blended model Enrich courses with an elective online module delivered and managed by their teacher. The online lab model Deliver content and learning mostly or entirely online via digital learning experiences. The enriched virtual model Students complete most of their coursework at but online courses are enhanced with required face-to-face lessons and interactions. ## Award-winning platform for education In the past year, we’ve received **over two dozen awards** for our innovative learning technology, including **Forbes Advisor’s** “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “**Best LMS**.” We’ve also received recognition for our work in academia, earning the title of “Best K-12 Remote Learning Partner” in the **SIIA CODiE 2022 Awards** and numerous other awards. [All awards](https://www.cypherlearning.com/awards) With the CYPHER platform, you can seamlessly implement diverse educational models. Deliver experiences that cater to the needs of modern learners who want to learn anywhere and at any time – without sacrificing the benefits of classroom learning. ### The green dot feature –blended learning’s new best friend ## The green dot feature, only found at CYPHER Learning, **signals activity within courses, groups, and modules** to foster better human connections. Its size and pulse speed directly reflect activity levels in different platform areas. Teachers can choose whether the green dot ensures anonymity or displays active student presence. ## Gaining the benefits of blended learning In the evolving landscape of education, schools are increasingly turning to blended learning for its remarkable ability to enhance the educational experience. 1 One of the core advantages of blended learning is its emphasis on **improved personalization and flexibility**. This approach tailors the educational journey to meet the unique needs, learning styles, and paces of individual students. It also offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing students to engage with their studies at times most convenient for them. This aspect of blended learning is particularly beneficial for students balancing educational pursuits with other commitments, ensuring that education is accessible and adaptable to every learner's lifestyle. 2 Another significant benefit of blended learning is the **increased level of student engagement** and the promotion of interactive learning. By integrating a variety of digital tools and resources, such as interactive modules, videos, and e-books, blended learning transforms the traditional classroom into a dynamic learning environment. This approach not only makes learning more engaging but also encourages active participation through projects and discussions. Such active learning strategies are key to heightening student interest and motivation, fostering a more immersive and interactive educational experience. 3 Blended learning provides **enhanced access to a wide range of learning resources** and continuous learning opportunities. Outside of school hours and away from the physical campus, students still have access to lessons and materials, allowing increased flexibility and greater accessibility of resources. This also builds a more equitable learning experience, providing extra learning opportunities for those who are struggling. ## Hybrid learning vs. blended learning – what’s the difference? **Blended learning** is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student. **Hybrid learning**, also known as hybrid courses, refers to a teaching model that combines traditional classroom experiences, experiential learning objectives, and digital course delivery that emphasizes using the best option for each learning objective. ## A modern learning platform for blended learning See how the CYPHER platform can improve in-person and online students’ learning experience ### Choose your online teaching method #### CLASS STYLES Teachers can choose from instructor-led, self paced, blended, or micro learning, depending on what type of blended learning they wish to do. Instructor-led classes are a good fit for face-to-face or rotation models, while self paced classes are great for self blend models ### Measure and track student progress #### COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING Tailor courses to individual students to help them achieve mastery-level proficiency, and align assessments with competencies using advanced analytics tools to determine whether students are on track or falling behind in classes. This way, you can intervene and ensure students who need additional support receive it and keep pace. ### Combine the power of CYPHER Agent with your unique content #### UPLOADED CONTENT With options to have CYPHER Agent pull exclusively from your uploaded content, you can quickly create courses tailored to the classes you teach. Upload lecture videos, PDFs, materials from past years, and more. CYPHER Agent will take care of the rest.

L&D insights for the modern workforce. In today's rapidly evolving work environment, the significance of Learning and Development (L&D) has never been more apparent. A recent study by CYPHER Learning, a leading provider of modern learning platforms for business and academic settings, sheds light on how L&D impacts career growth and workplace satisfaction. The findings are eye-opening, highlighting the need for companies to prioritize effective training programs. ## Key findings from the study The report, titled "From Skills to Success: L&D Insights for the Modern Workforce," surveyed 4,500 workers across the US, UK, and Mexico. The results reveal a strong correlation between the quality of L&D and employees' sentiments toward their employers. Here are some critical insights from the study: - **Younger workers ready to leave due to lack of L&D:**A significant 70% of workers feel that their organization's L&D could be improved. For those aged 18-34, 44% are considering leaving their jobs due to insufficient L&D, underscoring the urgency for better training initiatives. - **Ineffective management:**Over half (53%) of the respondents believe their managers are not equipped to help them advance in their careers. Additionally, 75% think that employees with more vocal and attentive managers are more likely to be promoted, indicating a gap in managerial support and development. - **Unprepared for the workplace:**A staggering 67% of 18-24-year-olds feel that their education did not adequately prepare them for the workplace. This highlights a significant gap between academic learning and real-world skills required in today's job market. - **Skepticism and lack of trust:**Trust issues persist, with 54% of workers not trusting HR to look out for their interests. Moreover, 8% of employees feel skeptical bespoke training, questioning the motives behind such initiatives. - **Visibility over competency:**A majority (66%) believe that career progression is based more on popularity than competency, and 72% have witnessed undeserving promotions. This perception is particularly detrimental to introverted employees who may feel excluded from advancement opportunities. ## The impact of effective L&D Despite the challenges, the research shows that well-executed training programs can have a profoundly positive impact: - **Feeling valued and empowered:**Almost a third of employees reported that high-quality training left them feeling "truly enlightened and invigorated." They also felt "highly valued and empowered" by their employers, recognizing the continuous investment in their development. - **Career advancement:**Conversely, 43% believe that insufficient workplace training hinders their career advancement, and 42% say they lack the necessary training to perform their roles effectively. - **Personalized training needs:**The study found that 68% of workers feel that workplace training is often a one-size-fits-all approach, which does not meet their individual needs. Personalized training programs can significantly enhance employee satisfaction and performance. ## What workers want from training Employees are clear their training preferences: - **Bespoke training:**A resounding 89% of workers would feel encouraged if offered tailored training for their roles, with 63% preferring training delivered at the point of need. - **Soft and technical skills:**Leadership skills top the list of desired training, followed by role-specific skills and critical thinking. Workers also believe their managers need training in leadership, listening, and collaboration. ## The path forward Graham Glass, Founder and CEO of CYPHER Learning, emphasizes the importance of continuous learning cultures. "A workforce that feels valued, inspired, and invigorated is worth its weight in gold. When a continuous culture of learning is created, employees are given the tools to thrive and grow. This is the power that a structured L&D program can deliver." With advancements in AI-enabled L&D, companies can now offer timely, cost-effective, and personalized training at scale. This new approach ensures that training is relevant and delivered when it is most needed, helping employees develop the skills necessary to succeed. The study by CYPHER Learning highlights the critical role of effective L&D programs in enhancing employee satisfaction, career growth, and overall workplace happiness. By addressing the gaps in current training practices and investing in continuous, personalized learning opportunities, organizations can foster a more engaged, competent, and loyal workforce. - [See the infographic](/resources/infographics/business/from-skills-to-success-l-and-d-insights-for-the-modern-workforce). - [See the full report](/resources/research/business/from-skills-to-success-l-and-d-insights-for-the-modern-workforce). - [See a demo of CYPHER Agent](/-sales/schedule-a-demo).

Without them, there would be no security for mobile transactions, which can leave customers vulnerable. Yet, choosing the best payment gateway for course creators can be difficult when there are so many viable options on the market. Here’s what you need to know payment getaways to pick the best one for your small online course business. ## What is a payment gateway? A payment gateway allows online shoppers to enter their payment information securely. The data is then encrypted and transmitted, allowing payments to be processed and other online wallet transactions to be authorized. This process verifies the legitimacy of the payment option used and protects customers from online fraud. Payment gateways work via a merchant account and payment processor system. The merchant account is a separate banking solution that businesses use to accept payments. Payment processing is how customer cards are authorized to ensure they have enough money for payment. ## How do small business course creators use payment gateways? Payment systems benefit small business owners in many ways. When you’re just starting or transitioning your existing marketing strategy to keep up with the digital world, payment gateways will be one of the first things you consider. They are also an essential part of your learning management system (LMS) [e-commerce feature](/blog/entrepreneurs/e-learning-business-model). Here’s how they benefit you: ### Eliminate barriers to completing purchases The added convenience of online payments is one of the primary ways to make shopping easier for learners. With solid integration, you can set up automation for abandoned cart sequences and pop-ups to reduce bounce rates. ### Improve buyer experience The payment gateway's main function is to streamline the customer payment experience. Gone are the days of arranging payments for online services. Now, learners can pay instantly, and you don’t have to worry not receiving due funds. This simplifies the user experience for your learners, which can build trust over time. ### Increased security In 2022, an estimated $12 billion was lost to credit card fraud. With payment processing software, you have a secure channel for payments that prevents fraud and protects customer data. ## What to consider when choosing a payment gateway The best payment gateway option for your business depends on your sales volume and overall payment needs.For monthly transactions less than $10,000, flat rate pricing will likely be more cost-effective for your small business.You should also consider the easiest option for your buyers so that you can reduce cart abandonment. Other things to keep in mind when choosing a payment platform include: - **Integration** – Does this platform work with my LMS? - **Cost** – What fees are associated with this payment solution? What are the transaction and monthly fees? - **Multiple currency support**– Do they offer multiple currency payment options? - **Security** – Is this a reputable, secure transaction platform? Is it [PCI-compliant](https://digitalguardian.com/blog/what-pci-compliance)? - **Customer support**– If something goes wrong with your payment, is someone available to help? If you choose a payment gateway that does not integrate well with your learning platform, it can result in a frustrating sales process for your customers. For example, with [CYPHER Learning](/), you can have an all-in-one solution for building, hosting, and setting up payment processing so you can sell your online courses. ## Best payment gateways for small business course creators Here are the best payment gateways for small business online course creators. These payment processors are optimized for online businesses, allow sales volume from any stage, and all have currency exchange options. ### 1. PayPal and PayPal Payments Pro [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/us/) and PayPal Payments Pro are feature-packed options for small business course creators who want to keep everything in one place. The standout quality of PayPal payment processing is its ample currency exchange and ability to take multiple payment options. With PayPal, you can process payment via: - Venmo - Buy now pay later financing - QR Code - Link to pay - Automatic recurring payment Few other platforms offer this much variety, and it comes in handy for small business course creators who manage sales, invoicing, and even paying others all through one app.PayPal is also a well-known payment brand, which may increase credibility with your learners. There are two things to keep in mind with PayPal. Fees for both processing payment and potential chargeback can add up quickly as a small business expense. Total fees will vary based on your location, but most transactions cost 3.49% plus a flat fee of $0.49. ### 2. Authorize.net [Authorize.net](https://www.authorize.net/) is owned by Visa and it is a well-known standalone payment gateway option. It is secure and includes anti-fraud features to protect your business. This mobile payment option supports international currencies and is best for small to medium-sized businesses that need international payment support. Some of the biggest benefits include: - Supports complex payment needs - Is easy to set up - Has a free mobile app However, you should keep in mind that there is a $25 monthly fee regardless of how much you use the platform, and has limited in-person payment features if you need that kind of thing. Authorize.net is a great choice if you want the best security options with a reputable brand. ### 3. Stripe [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) offers free plans available and charges a 2.9% plus $0.30 transaction fee. It’s great for small businesses because there are no additional fees for cancellation, set up, or monthly use. With dozens of payment methods available and exchange rates for up to 135 currencies, Stripe is a worthy contender for small to medium-sized businesses that are interested in a platform with flat rate cost and simple payment service. It also offers 24/7 customer support via multiple channels and supports many payment options and currencies. ## Selling online courses made easy Choosing the best payment processor for your online course business depends on preference and your unique audience needs, like location and currency support. However, as your online course business grows, you can make things easier by having everything in one place: a reliable payment gateway and a solution to market, sell and deliver your online courses.

An LMS provides an organized manner of delivering lessons, but it also comes with a few other advantages for students. Check them out! 1. ### Access to information anytime, anywhere An LMS ensures that students can get access to their learning materials no matter where they are (at or at school) and at any time — usually with, but also without an Internet connection. Most modern LMSs have a **responsive design**, which means that students can access any file in it on desktop computers, laptops, tablets and also their smartphones. Some even offer **branded mobile apps**. 2. ### Centralized information Printed sheets of paper that can be misplaced, lost or damaged can become a thing of the past with the use of an LMS, because all study materials and even work are consolidated in only one location. This **centralized hub of learning materials** means students can find anything they need within just a few clicks or taps away and can quickly exchange various resources, because they're all in the same place. 3. ### Increased communication Through the use of an LMS students can **collaborate** on different tasks easily, as they don't have to be in the same physical place to speak with one another; they only have to be active in the system at the same time. Students can **make connections** and **exchange opinions** with others thanks to the various [collaborative features](/tour/human-connection) and can also **stay updated** with the latest news from teachers and their school friends. 4. ### Studying becomes more enjoyable Students can study in their own rhythm, especially if the school LMS has support for **self-paced courses**. Once peer pressure decreases, they can actually focus on what they need to learn, no matter how fast. Online courses can include **rich and engaging content**, from eye-catching images to educational videos and interactive scenarios. As students get more involved in their activities, learning becomes more effective. 5. ### Time saving Not only can students find the most relevant learning materials within **just a few clicks**, but they can also submit their assignments as easily. How long it takes to make an assignment is up to each student though. What's more, an LMS can parse, sort and create targeted reports based on learning data, so students can get **fast and extensive updates** on their learning progress. This means they can adapt accordingly. ### Resources - [accessally.com](https://accessally.com/blog/benefits-of-lms-for-students/) - [yourstory.org](https://yourstory.com/2017/04/learning-management-system-advantages/) - [elearningindustry.com](https://elearningindustry.com/top-8-benefits-of-using-learning-management-systems) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

While most schools across the country are back to in-person instruction, there are still some facilities, teachers, and students that prefer a completely remote or hybrid model. There are plenty of benefits to online learning for students. It tends to increase computer and Internet proficiency, encourages engagement, and can work for a variety of learning styles. However, not every child is comfortable or confident in an online setting. Maybe they’re naturally shy, or maybe they’re nervous seeing themselves on a screen and participating. As an educator, it’s important to draw out the confidence of your students, even if it’s through a computer screen. Let’s cover a few strategies you can use to boost your student’s confidence in the online classroom, and make the learning experience more enjoyable for them. ## 1. Understand Why You Need to Boost Student Confidence Before you start trying different tactics to build self-esteem in your students, it’s important to understand why they might be struggling in the first place. Some students might be dealing with disruptive lives, or circumstances that make it difficult to stay engaged. Others might feel isolated and have a hard time opening up to a virtual classroom. Some students might struggle with accessibility. One of the biggest problems students in certain communities face is accessibility. A recent report found that [63% of young people](https://data.unicef.org/resources/children-and-young-people-internet-access-at--during-covid19/) aged 15-24 don’t have internet access at . If those students have to go somewhere else each day simply to attend class, it can take a toll on their well-being. Of course, every student is different. Take the time to get to know your class, including a bit of their background information, if possible. Having a clear understanding of why a particular student might be struggling with their confidence offers you a starting point to give them the help they need. ## 2. Create an Optimized Learning Space One of the best things you can do to boost student confidence and improve the overall virtual learning experience is to create an online classroom that makes everyone feel comfortable and inspired. If you were holding class in person, you would undoubtedly decorate your classroom in a way to keep your students engaged. An online learning environment shouldn’t be any different. Consider the following tips as you [optimize your virtual learning space](/blog/k-20/students-thrive-through-online-learning): - Don’t use distracting or cluttered backgrounds - Set boundaries with your students - Limit apps they have access to while in the classroom - Encourage breaks for standing and stretching When your students feel like they’re in a safe, comfortable learning space, they’re more likely to open up. All it takes is one positive experience for their confidence and self-esteem to grow. Get creative with your classroom decor and routine, and you’ll quickly build the trust required to help your students feel more confident in themselves. ## 3. Help Them Manage Anxiety As a society, we often consider stress and anxiety to be things adults have to deal with. Unfortunately, children are just as susceptible to stress and might not know how to handle it as well. If you’re concerned one of your students and believe anxiety could be a reason they lack confidence, consider implementing stress management techniques into your daily class routine. You can incorporate some of these techniques while also [encouraging your students to use all of their senses](https://www.zocdoc.com/blog/using-your-senses-to-manage-anxiety/). Try things like showing them relaxing photos, playing soothing sounds or music during “quiet” time, or encouraging them to take a few deep breaths when they’re feeling overwhelmed. When a student feels anxious or overly stressed, they’re less likely to have the confidence to speak up. They might even be too distracted by their anxious thoughts to participate and engage with the class. If you start to notice a pattern in any of your students, try implementing these techniques. Even for students who aren’t feeling anxious, these ideas can help to promote an environment of relaxation and openness. Encourage them to use some of the skills in their free time, too, and consider talking to their parents what they can do to help their children manage anxiety outside of school. ## 4. Inspire Social Connection Humans, in general, have a deeply-rooted desire to feel connected to others. When you have students in a virtual setting, they’re missing out on that in-person connection. While most virtual classrooms allow students to utilize their cameras and see everyone’s faces, it’s not the same as interacting in person. That can cause some kids and teens to feel self-conscious and they might lack the confidence to speak up in class. You can inspire social connection virtually by implementing different engagement strategies to make everyone more comfortable. Try things like: - Daily icebreakers before your lesson starts - Voting/polling functions - Breakout rooms where students can work together in small groups The more comfortable your students are engaging with others, the more confident and connected they’ll be in class. Encourage them to connect outside of the virtual classroom, too! Nowadays, it’s easy for kids and teens to interact, even if they live miles apart. ## 5. Offer Praise and Recognition Who doesn’t love getting a pat on the back for a job well done – even if it’s virtually? A great way to boost a student’s confidence is to let them know you see the effort they’re putting in. By offering praise and recognition when it’s due, you’ll improve their self-esteem and encourage them to keep doing their best. As a teacher, you undoubtedly keep track of every student’s progress already. Using a [digital tracking system](https://www.prometheanworld.com/au/resource-hub/blogs/build-student-confidence-in-the-classroom-using-technology/) is an easy way to see how well a student is doing and how much they’re growing throughout the year. When you notice a significant improvement, don’t be afraid to tell that student. It will motivate them to continue their hard work, and it can help to bring them out of their shell. Teaching in an online classroom comes with plenty of benefits, but there are also some challenges you’ll have to deal with as an educator. Boosting student confidence might be difficult, at first, but if you find effective ways to increase engagement and keep your students connected, you can improve everyone’s self-esteem and foster a virtual learning environment that inspires and excites your whole class.

While there are plenty of factors that influence a person's ability to pay attention to new information — **getting a good night's sleep, doing regular physical exercise, having a balanced diet or doing brain games** — training instructors have no control over them. However, there are some tricks that can be used when creating training courses that respond to the needs of learners and stimulate their memory. 1. ### Apply spaced repetition You should sprinkle the same idea in various parts of each training course. You can even go a step further and do the same for each main idea in each lesson or chapter. But most importantly, make sure to **repeat the same piece of information over time**. When learners encounter the same piece of information over and over in their learning materials, they'll have increased chances to later remember what they learn. 2. ### Use mnemonics Mnemonics are memory devices that help learners recall larger pieces of information. The best examples of mnemonics are **acronyms, acrostics, chunking** or **imagery association**. The professional world and training courses offer plenty of opportunities to include mnemonics in learning materials. Even color coding the chapters in learning materials can help employees have better retention rates. 3. ### Add music Music and rhymes are proven to help memory retention. When designing training courses, you can include **wordplay** and **sounds** in each lesson: a rhyme here, a song there, and even background music can help. When learners are regularly exposed to music and sound patterns they can send the new information they learn in their long-term memory much faster. 4. ### Encourage social collaboration Learners should be able to ask questions freely, answer those of others by explaining and presenting what they know, and work together to find solutions. Whether they do this **face-to-face** or through **web collaboration tools**, getting answers is what matters most. When people receive instant feedback for their learning queries, they'll better absorb and later remember the new information. 5. ### Let learners experience Aha! moments When learners find something interesting, they'll want to know more it. And when they are determined to find more information on what interests them, they'll have more *Aha!* moments and they'll better retain what they learn. That's why instructors should provide **extra learning resources** for all learners to explore each topic as in depth as they want. **Resources** - [7 Tricks to Improve Your Memory](http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20723699,00.html) - [The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve – And How To Overcome It](https://sidsavara.com/the-ebbinghaus-curve-of-forgetting/) - [9 Types of Mnemonics for Better Memory](https://www.learningassistance.com/2006/january/mnemonics.html) - [Examples of Mnemonics](http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-mnemonics.html) - [Why Music Helps You Memorize Items](http://lifehacker.com/why-music-helps-you-memorize-items-1493969002) - [Learning and Remembering with Others : The Key Role of Retrieval in Shaping Group Recall and Collective Memory](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4244002/) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

They provide efficient, affordable, patient-specific wound treatments to patients in nursing s, hospices, hospitals and other settings. They employ clinical specialists throughout the United States and Canada to assist with treatment recommendations and provide education the proper utilization of wound care products. With production facilities in the United States, Canada, and China, they are one of North America’s largest manufacturers of wound care supplies. “CYPHER is a game changer for our company.

There was no way of keeping records electronically and with our rapid growth, it was imperative that we had an online resource.” Dave Hondel, Manager of Learning & Development ## The solution - Implemented a leadership academy to provide a quicker turnaround for employees to learn their roles - Courses are recognized by the California Board of Nursing to be worth 4 CE nursing credits - The platform has allowed them to become fully vertically integrated Our processes have never been easier to maintain as well as having the ability to keep electronic records of all employees in the company. The reporting tools have been extremely valuable as well as the ability to allow multiple administrators who can manage their respective regulatory training programs globally. This is a big plus as each country has different regulations. This takes the burden off of our corporate headquarters by not having to manage all locations from that standpoint. ### Implementation Our path entitled "Leadership Academy" has 105 competencies alone. I have several employees coming to me personally saying how much they enjoy the courses and the ease of use with this platform. It also allows for a more efficient and quicker turnaround time for employees to learn their roles, thus making us more productive, which leads to revenue. We have been creating a wound certification course for the past several months that is four hours long.

The hope is that even future generations, who will have been taught using a blend of face-to-face and online education, will nonetheless still **recall the teachers (rather than the software) that made a difference**. There are a few habits that great online instructors — or e-teachers — employ to find that tricky balance between mapping out yards of content and adding a pace, personality and enjoyment to their subjects: 1. ### Focus on learning objectives A “copy and paste” process from face-to-face instruction seldom translates into vivid, effective online lessons. It is essential that you design each online module not as a replica of the real-world lesson, but as a **digital stand alone product**. The **e-learning environment broadens, not limits, the teaching options** - and with a clear focus on the learning objectives, instead of the technology, online lessons can be as dynamic and personalized as the traditional class. 2. ### Stimulate prior knowledge In line with the constructivist approach of most blended and e-learning models, good online teachers explicitly mine for a student's baseline of previous knowledge, and build upon that. Once you have established your streams of prior knowledge, you can use branching scenarios (built into most good LMS packages) to **take each student on a highly personalized journey**, where they build on what they know already regardless of what that prior knowledge is. 3. ### Invite responses Interactivity is often quoted as being a characteristic of life online. **Invite students to reach out to you**, and ensure you have set correct expectations for when you will respond and stick to it. In the interests of remaining personable and approachable, consider doing this **through your LMS system’s chat** or messenger application. If students feel that you are responsive, they in turn will be responsive when you invite them to offer their opinions, theories or questions. 4. ### Share enthusiasm **The most successful teachers invariably have an enormous passion for their subject, and furthermore manage to imbue their lessons with the same joy**. Asking teachers to capture that same enthusiasm online can be a tricky, but not impossible. Digital tools, from YouTube videos, PowerPoint voice overs or podcasts can not only help the gifted teacher to reach more students, but can in fact package and encapsulate that passion. 5. ### Set clear expectations **A solid set of expectations at the beginning of the course and module is essential to keep all students on track**. It is essential that you make clear what the assessment criteria will be, what coursework and work is required, as well as what students can expect from you in terms of availability, support and communication. A list of expectations for parents would also be a good idea, as well as dedicated parent-teacher online channels. 6. ### Curate Good online teachers understand that the Internet provides far more content than a single teacher could ever hope to create. **As curators, rather than creators of information, teachers are able to focus their students’ attention on quality, in-depth learning content** while freeing up time to engage, debate and discuss the content with students. This sets the tone for what will often become a vibrant, surprising and rich learning environment for both teacher and student. ### Resources - [3 Habits of highly effective online teachers](https://blog.neolms.com/3-habits-of-highly-effective-online-teachers/) - [Another 3 habits of effective e-teachers](https://blog.neolms.com/another-3-habits-of-effective-e-teachers/) - [Practical applications of Constructivism in the online classroom](https://blog.neolms.com/practical-applications-constructivism-online-classroom/) - ["What's Everybody So Excited ?": The Effects of Teacher Enthusiasm on Student Intrinsic Motivation and Vitality, The Journal of Experimental Education](https://www.jstor.org/stable/20152630?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

New features are being developed constantly in order to meet the learning needs of all K-12 students. The target is to achieve the **highest degree of personalized learning experiences** for each one. Using an LMS for K-12 education comes with a few other advantages. Here are five of them: 1. ### Access to learning materials anytime, anywhere An LMS ensures that students can **access learning materials** no matter where they are and at any time. This is essential for the flipped classroom and any type of distance learning. Using an LMS with a responsive design and maybe even a corresponding app makes this a given. 2. ### Centralized information Printed handouts can be fun and useful for various classroom activities, but they can also be misplaced or damaged. Having a **centralized hub of learning materials** means students can easily find anything and always get the latest version of any document. 3. ### Increased communication Through an LMS, **students can collaborate on different tasks** even when they are not in the same physical space; they only have to access the system at the same time. They can make connections, exchange opinions, and stay updated with the latest news from teachers. 4. ### Learning becomes more personalized Students can **study at their own pace**, especially if the school LMS has support for self-paced courses. They can spend more time on a difficult subject if they have to, or move faster through the content they already master, with the help of **adaptive learning**. 5. ### Time-saving Students can find the most relevant learning materials fast and submit their assignments just as easily. **An LMS shows real-time progress and reports based on learning data** so teachers have access to extensive information and can adapt their teaching strategy accordingly.

However, parents are busy with day to day activities and may struggle to keep up with how their children are doing in school. That’s where **technology offers a helping hand**. A **learning management system (LMS)** is a great way for parents to teachers, check their children's grades, and stay connected with everything related to school activities. Here are some ways in which you can **take advantage of the school LMS** to engage them and make them part of the learning community: 1. ### Instant insights on student progress An LMS encourages parents to become more involved with **quick access to important insights** into their children’s academic progress. They are the first to find out important **school-related information**. For example, parents can check on assignment deadlines and upcoming school events. 2. ### Effective communication between parents and teachers Parents enjoy receiving regular updates, and this helps keep everything transparent. They can **send direct messages to teachers** and administrators. Simultaneously, schools can use automation to **send custom notifications to parents** whenever students complete a class, receive an award, receive a low score on an assignment, and more. 3. ### Building a community for parents A great way to get **parents more engaged in school activities** is to **build a group** for them within the LMS to connect with fellow parents and faculty. Having an outlet where they can exchange ideas and express concerns their children will make them feel part of a community with the **same goals and interests**. 4. ### Get parents to use the LMS Parents can also **benefit from using the school LMS**, as they get to familiarize themselves with the tool that students use daily. For example, schools can put together **short courses for parents** on various topics such as supporting their children during exam time or working with children to improve their grades.

The company started doing blended training, combining offline and online training styles, and realized the value of a scalable e-learning platform. Some divisions in the company tried using a basic plug and play type platform, but they were not satisfied with the flexibility and customization options with restricted SCORM package functionality, which were hard to upload. The company researched digital training options, looking for a platform that was much more structured, allowing them to build and cultivate the whole learning environment in a more personalized way. ## The solution Kerridge Commercial Systems found CYPHER Learning’s LMS to be the best fit for their needs. CYPHER helps Kerridge to manage multiple training activities, such as building and delivering training content, evaluating employee performance, training clients and partners, and selling online courses.Kerridge implemented CYPHER in 2017 with IQ Education Junction - one of Kerridge's divisions - to focus on a specific retail product range of courses for users and partners. Based on the massive success on the platform, they saw the value proposition for Kerridge as a group, and in 2019 added KCS University for internal upskilling, product training, and leadership programs. Currently, there are 550 active learners on the platform. ### Implementation The adoption process was straightforward and smooth; it only took an overview session to teach instructors how to create great content, and a few 30-minute Teams sessions with our platform administrator to review the platform functionality, and after that, things have been running seamlessly. ### Features CYPHER delivers a great user experience while incorporating all the essential tools companies like Kerridge need to support efficient training and learning. Its comprehensive set of features meets all users' needs: - **Learners**: The most used features are the course resources and learner progress stats. Also, communication has improved and become consistent and more robust between learners and instructors through messages. - **Admins**: They now have defined organizational portals, which makes it easy to categorize and sectionalize the company, appreciating the calculation of active users instead of everyone that has added a course, which supports giving more accurate statistics and realistic reports. - **Instructors**: They consider grading to be one of the highlights of using CYPHER, as it has made it easier for them to add grades to the team and assess their performance. They also like the drag-and-drop feature, as it allows them to add any content quickly, thus saving them time. ### User engagement The stakeholders welcomed the new system and changes easily and with excitement! They appreciate the self-paced environment as it allows them to work independently from any device without having to be present physically at the training at a specific time. In addition, learners are now more motivated to complete their training. “With CYPHER, we keep employees engaged by giving them a combination of content types and assessments. For example, in the Content section, we have provided them with Pages, Files, and Web resources. As for the Assessments, they have been using many features like Quiz, Survey, Discussion, and Dropbox.” Lisa Dimech, Divisional Training Manager & Course Instructor ## The results - Adoption of CYPHER opened new opportunities for Kerridge, particularly for divisions previously without an LMS - In the last fiscal year, Kerridge trained 198 resellers, 128 leaders, and 250 internal employees using CYPHER - Plans for the next three to five years include expanding CYPHER to more divisions for a unified platform Since multiple divisions did not have an LMS before, the business had new and exciting avenues opened after they started to use CYPHER.In the last fiscal year, Kerridge has successfully trained 198 resellers who had their sales certifications training on the platform. They have also trained 128 leaders in a three-step leadership program. Lastly, Kerridge added over 250 internal employees to their product knowledge curriculum.Kerridge has multiple divisions, and at the moment, only two or three are using CYPHER. In the next three to five years, they plan to grow more, as they have different divisions with internal universities, and are looking to take them into one unified platform. “This is exciting for me as I can manage the CYPHER Learning platform while having all these different platforms for these different universities.” Theo Oosthuizen, Digital Learning Consultant & Platform Administrator, Kerridge ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Kerridge-Commercial-Systems-Limited.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Esto viene acompañado por un conjunto de reglamentaciones que debemos cumplir. Por lo tanto, existir en este entorno, trabajar, aprender, hacer negocios, comunicarnos tal como lo hacemos en la vida real nos convierte en ciudadanos de este mundo digital. Como ciudadanos digitales, tenemos derechos y obligaciones, y es por eso que aprender más sobre el concepto de ciudadanía digital es fundamental. “La ciudadanía digital es el desarrollo continuo de normas sobre el uso adecuado, responsable y empoderado de la tecnología”. Por lo tanto, debemos contribuir al mundo digital con el contenido adecuado que pueda crear experiencias positivas para los demás y debemos saber que nuestras acciones como ciudadanos digitales tienen consecuencias. En lo que respecta a cualquier entorno en línea, este debería ser un entorno seguro en el que todos se sientan protegidos y no vulnerables. Además, debería promover una mejor comprensión de todas sus implicaciones y contribuir en la formación de los usuarios para lograr resultados positivos a largo plazo. Asimismo, como ciudadanos digitales, debemos desarrollar relaciones cooperativas e interdependientes que promuevan la comprensión entre las personas. En su libro, [Digital Citizenship in Schools (Ciudadanía digital en las escuelas)](https://books.google.com/books//Digital_Citizenship_in_Schools.html?id=YwQmAQAAIAAJ),Mike Ribble y Gerald Bailey hablan sobre cómo la tecnología influye en la manera en que las personas interactúan y sobre el concepto de ciudadanía digital en el salón de clases. Los autores definen nueve elementos de la ciudadanía digital: ## Los 9 elementos de la ciudadanía digital Debido a que la educación es el centro de cualquier sociedad, se debería instruir a los estudiantes sobre cómo usar la tecnología de manera responsable y, al mismo tiempo, garantizar la seguridad del entorno en línea para las generaciones futuras. Por lo tanto, los aspectos de la ciudadanía digital giran en torno al uso de la tecnología con fines educativos. Algunos de estos elementos están relacionados con las vidas de los estudiantes fuera de la escuela y otros están directamente relacionados con la manera en que usan la tecnología en el salón de clases. 1. ### Acceso digital Si bien vivimos en una era digital, no todos tienen acceso a la tecnología. Por ser profesores, debemos conocer las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes y asegurarnos de que puedan usar de manera equitativa los recursos en línea. Gracias a las mejoras en las escuelas de todo el mundo, los profesores pueden impartir lecciones atractivas e incluir tecnología en la clase para motivar a sus estudiantes. Cada vez más educadores solicitan a sus estudiantes tareas que deben realizarse en línea, pero existe una desventaja: no todos los estudiantes tienen dinero para adquirir una computadora/teléfono inteligente y tener acceso a Internet. Por este motivo, los educadores deben brindar alternativas adecuadas para las necesidades de todos los estudiantes.  Más información: [Cinco herramientas digitales para hacer del aula virtual un espacio más inclusivo](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/cinco-herramientas-digitales-para-hacer-del-aula-virtual-un-espacio-mas-inclusivo/) 2. ### Comercio digital El comercio digital hace referencia a la compra y venta de artículos en línea y la necesidad de enfrentar problemas de seguridad al usar dinero en el mundo digital. La tecnología también se utiliza en clase para mostrarles a los estudiantes los posibles caminos que pueden tomar en sus futuras carreras profesionales, lo que les dará oportunidades de trabajo. Comprender cómo funciona el comercio en línea es una necesidad, como posibles clientes y emprendedores. 3. ### Comunicación digital Comunicarse en línea se ha vuelto tan común y frecuente que los estudiantes se olvidan de que lo hacen en un espacio virtual. Saber qué decir y cómo hacerlo es fundamental, ya que en el entorno en línea siempre hay problemas de comunicación. En la actualidad, el espacio en línea les ha permitido tener voz a todos los que la necesitan. Pueden expresarse libremente. Debido a esto, los estudiantes deben ser empáticos y reaccionar adecuadamente en línea y fuera de línea. Más información: [8 Formas de fomentar la participación de los estudiantes en línea](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/8-formas-de-fomentar-la-participacion-de-los-estudiantes-en-linea-2/) 4. ### Alfabetización digital Ser conscientes de los demás en línea y fuera de línea es importante para nuestro crecimiento personal. También contribuye a crear consciencia sobre la manera en que nos tratamos en cualquiera de estos espacios. La alfabetización digital también incluye obtener la capacidad para diferenciar el contenido real del falso, que podría afectar negativamente las vidas de nuestros estudiantes. Los estudiantes deben aprender cómo decidir qué contenido es bueno para ellos y lo que deberían evitar para tener una vida equilibrada. 5. ### Protocolo digital La tecnología viene acompañada de instrucciones básicas de uso, pero a la larga, debemos instruir a los estudiantes para que la comprendan mejor y “[dominen el mundo digital](http://blog.core-ed.org/blog/2015/10/what-is-digital-fluency.html)”. Esto moldeará su comportamiento en línea y responderán positiva en vez de negativamente a cualquier contenido o comentario. De esta manera, la actitud en línea se refleja en el mundo real y viceversa. Centrarse en implementar un protocolo en línea tendrá excelentes resultados para las generaciones futuras que tendrán una actitud adecuada en el mundo digital. 6. ### Derecho digital El entorno en línea tiene lugar para interacciones positivas y negativas. Y, al igual que sucede en la vida real, existen leyes que todos debemos cumplir. El derecho digital trata los derechos y las restricciones legales que rigen el uso de la tecnología. Muchos usuarios en línea infringen la ley, intencionalmente o no, de formas que van desde *hackear* correos electrónicos hasta cometer ciberacoso o descargar música de manera ilegal. Para prevenir cualquier tipo de delito en línea, sin importar la gravedad, los estudiantes, como ciudadanos digitales, deben conocer estas normas. 7. ### Derechos y responsabilidades digitales Al igual que en cualquier sociedad real, el mundo digital tiene sus reglamentaciones. Esto significa que los usuarios tienen derechos y también responsabilidades. Existen normas y políticas que se deben cumplir que implican la posibilidad de hacernos responsables de nuestras propias acciones en el mundo digital*.* Además, el Internet se puede usar con fines perjudiciales y las personas necesitan, por ejemplo, protecciones contra el [ciberacoso](https://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it). Este tema debe abordarse en las escuelas para evitar estos comportamientos y denunciar cualquier conducta ilícita en el entorno virtual. 8. ### Salud y bienestar digitales Vivimos la misma cantidad de tiempo en el mundo digital que en el mundo real. Los requisitos y las libertades de las personas deben extenderse al mundo digital. Todas las personas que se encuentren presentes en el mundo digital deben contribuir al bienestar colectivo. Se debe enseñar a los estudiantes a protegerse a ellos mismos y a los demás de posibles daños y a alertar a un adulto en este tipo de casos. Usar recursos en línea es un beneficio adicional, pero todos debemos ser conscientes de los peligros que conlleva este beneficio. 9. ### Seguridad digital La seguridad en el mundo digital es importante porque las escuelas también son [muy vulnerables a los ciberataques.](https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/the-5x5/the-5x5-the-state-of-cybersecurity-in-latin-america/) Se debe tener precaución para garantizar la seguridad de los estudiantes. Asimismo, los estudiantes deben comprender las implicaciones de usar dispositivos en la escuela o el hogar, y ser conscientes de los posibles ataques. Los profesores también deben explicar cómo evitar los ataques y cómo proteger los dispositivos. ## En conclusión La ciudadanía digital es un estatus que todos los usuarios en línea deben tener, incluidos los estudiantes. Esta ciudadanía conlleva libertad, pero también responsabilidad.  Al igual que los ciudadanos del mundo real, los usuarios en línea deben cumplir las normas e intentar usar todos sus beneficios de manera segura. Por ser ciudadanos digitales, los estudiantes deben ser conscientes de su comportamiento y de la manera en que afecta a los demás, mostrar empatía y resolver conflictos.  [K-20 blog](/es/blog/k-20) [E-learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/tag/e-learning) --- ## CYPHER Agent: Your sonic screwdriver for course creation **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/cypher-copilot-your-sonic-screwdriver-for-course-creation **Last Modified:** 2025-07-03 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [Course design](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/course-design) # CYPHER Agent: Your sonic screwdriver for course creation July 28, 2023 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read In our last post, we introduced [CYPHER Agent: The ultimate course creation companion](/blog/business/introducing-cypher-copilot-the-ultimate-course-creation-companion). In this post, we’ll show you how easy and fun it is to create great courses with CYPHER Agent. An important tool on the CYPHER platform, CYPHER Agent, is a purposeful approach to course creation that is designed to assist and enhance the work of trainers, educators, and teachers. CYPHER Agent provides you with the best of both worlds: - the power of generative AI accelerated course creation and scalability. - the human touch and impact that only your content experts and organization can provide. So please grab your sonic screwdriver and fasten your seat belts as we embark on an epic course creation journey to the wibbly-wobbly world of time and space for the beloved television show, Dr. Who! ## How to create a course in minutes ### Step 1 (80%): Define and generate the course content *Course Content* To get started, simply identify your topic title and your target audience, define the learning objectives, select learning options like teaching method and tone, and let CYPHER Agent take it from there! Let's look at the results: an analysis of Doctor Who characters is automatically generated by CYPHER Agent in minutes and includes course content, a written assignment with a rubric, a randomized question bank, and much more.Additionally, CYPHER Agent automatically maps competencies to content and assignments, and creates a series of tags that are extremely useful when searching for reusable learning objects. **CYPHER Agent generates or uses existing competencies and then does the mapping for you** *Use new or existing competencies* CYPHER Agent uses existing competencies that align to the course outline or you can create new competencies. CYPHER Agent generates and maps everything that you learn in the course. Whether you call them learning outcomes, competencies, or proficiencies, CYPHER Agent creates a competency group that perfectly aligns to the course outline. This is a modern way to create courses that enables you to measure how well learners understand each individual competency. This is an important part of making personalized learning a reality – because now you know what each learner does or doesn't understand. CYPHER Agent does this for you automatically. **CYPHER Agent generates modules and sections** *Course outline and description* Looking closely at the Dr. Who course modules and sections, you can see the introduction to Dr. Who characters come to life in a nicely formatted, attractive web page that introduces the characters. Additionally, CYPHER Agent appropriately inserts images and videos, pulling together some pretty great content. **CYPHER Agent creates assessments and can map to rubrics and competencies** With competency based learning, not only do you want to tag the content, but you want to tag the assessment. Using CYPHER Agent, content can be automatically mapped to the competencies. Choose from 2,000 preloaded competencies or create your own. Assessments are assigned by competencies so each learner has an understanding of their initial level of competency. *Assessments* For the Dr. Who Characters module, CYPHER Agent automatically generates assessments including an essay assignment. It also implements a rubric for scoring learner submissions. Each rubric criteria automatically aligns to the competency that it is scoring. As learners journey through the course, they're assessed for their understanding of the content in a way that makes it easy to see what learners understand, pinpoint areas for improvement, provide feedback to learners, and optimize the course. Similarly, with quizzes, all of the questions are automatically created. For example, one true or false question states, the Doctor is a Time Lord from the Planet Gallifrey. The answer is yes, and the competency was analyzing the character, the doctor, which is, spoiler alert, correct. **CYPHER Agent automatically adds automation and gamification** *Gamification* Because our course wouldn’t be as engaging or fun without it, we asked CYPHER Agent to generate a game for our course. The result? Time Lord Academy, a five-level game based on Dr. Who where learners acquire points and reach the next level of the game based on their understanding of Dr. Who. Badges are automatically created and associated for each level. To reach level five, and achieve the title: Master of Time, you must first acquire 1,000 points by demonstrating your mastery of the subject. In addition to generating the associated game, badges, and leaderboards, CYPHER Agent also automatically inserted automation statements to trigger point distribution. ### Step 2 (20%): Organize the content, make changes, and add the finishing touches Once CYPHER Agent creates the initial 80% of the course, it's up to you to finish it. Ensure that the course is designed specifically for your learners and aligns with your learning objectives. Add, change, and tailor the content to your choosing: *Question Bank* - Personalize, customize, and brand it. - Add or remove competencies. - Reorganize, add or eliminate modules. - Add, change, or remove games and questions. - Insert your own assignments, content, terms, and vocabulary. - Review and validate the course, make it as simple or as complex as you’d like. Implement the personalization, customization, and contextualization aspects of the course creation to ensure that the course is tailored specifically to your modern learning needs. ## What type of course will you create with CYPHER Agent? Whether you want to create a course on digital branding, grade two biology, how to repair a sub-zero refrigerator, or how to code in your favorite programming language, CYPHER Agent can create the entire course with content aligned to competencies, gamification, automation, and more. So what type of course will you create? - [See and experience CYPHER Agent in action by scheduling a demo](/-sales/schedule-a-demo).

It’s difficult to quantify how much time people spend **browsing offers**, but did you know that businesses make an average of $2 in revenue for every $1 they spend on Google Ads? Or that **social media platforms** capture [33% of the time](https://blog.globalwebindex.com/chart-of-the-day/social-media-captures-30-of-online-time/) users spend online? Plus, 37% of online shoppers say they use social media for “purchase inspiration”. All this demonstrates that using **paid online ads** is a good idea when you have something to sell. However, it’s crucial that you are aware of the **do’s and don’ts of online advertising**: 1. ### Focus on customer experience It’s ok to pay attention to the **kind of ads** and the right channels that would optimize your profits but don’t lose sight of how they will affect those who see them. It’s a good idea to think the **time when a certain type of ad** will appear. Not everything goes in every context. Going with pop-ups right when the user opens a page will almost certainly end in frustration. 2. ### Know your audience and make the ads relevant to them If you want your **ads to actually be successful** it is very important to be aware of the **visitor demographics** and the search queries that brought them to your site. Even if it takes a little time, it is worthwhile to put some effort into **building a buyer persona** to which you will be targeting your advertising campaign. 3. ### Choose the right platform for you It’s important to note that **choosing the appropriate platform** is also something to do before releasing your **ad campaign**. There are several options out there, the social media venue being one of the most popular due to accessibility and flexibility. With over **70% of internet users** going to Google to find information, it’s a fantastic channel to get the attention of your audience. 4. ### Don’t ignore the data It’s great to believe both in your product and in your ad. However, not minding how well (or not) they are doing is a big mistake. One of the best aspects of web advertising is that we have access to all sorts of data. **Analytics** can tell you what works well and what doesn’t. That information can be used to **optimize your campaigns** over time and get more buyers and a greater profit. 5. ### Don’t jump in without a strategy It’s crucial that you take a good look at **what the competition is doing** and plan accordingly. It’s also wise to get an idea of what the **costs of your campaign** will add up to and if they are worth it. While this is not an exact science, there is enough information out there to give you some idea of what to **expect in regard to expenses**. 6. ### Don’t push The main issue with **online ads** is that there are so many, it’s overwhelming. This is why many people choose to install ad blockers on their devices. Finding ways to circumvent ad blockers will only bring a negative feeling towards your product or service. It’s best to focus on **providing a good experience** to those users who allow ads and respect the option of those who don’t.

I had been moving toward implementing a flipped classroom philosophy before I officially knew the components of this teaching philosophy, however my plan was to flip the flipped ideology and create that experience during school as I facilitated my students’ learning process. ## The solution I discovered CYPHER on the iLearn Technology blog 9 years ago and I have not looked back. During the adoption process of CYPHER, I relied heavily upon feedback from students through direct and indirect means. I would include surveys specific components as well as examining how my students responded to different assignments and other elements within CYPHER, then I would adjust accordingly. ### Implementation My first year using CYPHER exclusively was a learning curve for me as well as my students, but I was fortunate to have a group of students who were open and eager to interact within their new learning management system that reminded them of a “Facebook for learning”, as it affectionately became known as amongst my students. I look at my use of CYPHER as a way to convey my pedagogical content into a personalized version of myself for each student, as I facilitate the learning process. CYPHER has allowed me an opportunity to differentiate instruction for all my students as they become a part in creating their unique learning experience. ### Features I absolutely love the foundational interactive elements found within CYPHER's LMS. My students are digitally blogging and debating weekly, as they can be creative in sharing their experiences and opinions in an interactive environment. The native blog feature allows me to share my blogs and promote creative thinking and writing as they experiment with adding images and embedding videos to help enhance the narrative that they are portraying to the class. After completing their blogs, they are then able to read and interact with their peers. The debate assignment feature has encouraged my students to use their voice in a digital medium, when they might otherwise be hesitant to speak in front of the class. However I have found that as they share their opinions digitally, this often leads to small group and whole class discussions in which they are eager to contribute. As a teacher, I love the assignment and grade book capabilities offered by CYPHER. I can personalize assignments as well as add competencies from my curriculum associated with each assignment, while tracking their mastery of those components for individual students or the whole class, as well as receiving the analytics for each competency. This helps me adjust my pedagogical practices for future assignments and classes. “I love the assignment and grade book capabilities offered by CYPHER.

My students know upon entering my class where to go and what to do in my classroom, thanks to the organizational structure of CYPHER. My students can also take ownership of their own learning experiences as CYPHER helps them to keep track of their assignments, progress, graded assignments, and assignments due. CYPHER also helps me elevate my pedagogical practices by taking advantage of the new components that are added throughout each school year, which allows me to remain current and ahead of the technological trends in society and education. I love that you can monitor what changes are being implemented within the learning management system and you can offer feedback and suggestions for elements coming in the future. “CYPHER has completely revolutionized my approach to teaching in terms of creating and maintaining a learning environment in which students are willing to become active participants in their learning experiences.” Gieshala Mims, 8th Grade Teacher ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/academia/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Senatobia.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

It’s a perfect opportunity to spend extra time engaging students and motivating them to elevate their reading and writing skills. This year, its need feels all the more urgent. Many students have fallen behind in their education due to the pandemic. This is not a short-term problem. Many of today’s toddlers will have had reduced opportunities to form language and reading skills at a key moment in their development. The ramifications will continue for years if we don’t actively work at improving basic skills. The challenge of poor literacy therefore remains and has perhaps become more of an issue again. In 2019, an estimated [32 million American adults](https://nationaltoday.com/international-literacy-day/) were classified as illiterate. Around 40% of third-grade students do not read at their expected grade level. Across the globe, it is thought that more than 770 million adults cannot read, most of whom are women. ## 8 International Literacy Day activities for students International Literacy Day 2022 focuses on “Transforming Literacy Learning Spaces.” As such, many of the activities suggested below will focus on the space (both physical and [digital](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/creating-more-interactive-learning-spaces-in-the-new-school-year/)) in which reading and writing take place and how to use these spaces in creative and exciting ways. If you are interested in activities for younger children, check out these resources by [Read-Write-Think](https://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/calendar-activities/celebrate-international-literacy) and[Kathy Dotson’s Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.co.uk/kjd9824/international-literacy-day/) page. ### International Literacy Day in the Digital Space It’s very likely that most Literacy Day activities will take place in the digital space, as it offers many tools and resources for student engagement. #### 1. Writing a reflective journal Teaching literacy skills in a digital space can be done by replicating some of the approaches undertaken by online book communities.These include using forums, online chat, blogs, and designing multimedia projects where students engage with books and produce discussions, summaries, or reviews. One option is to ask students to write a [reflective journal](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/digital-reflection-tools-your-students-can-use-in-class/) while reading a book. Their reflections could be captured on a blog or forum in your [learning management system](/tour/human-connection) (LMS), allowing students to share ideas, thoughts, and comments. You could ask them to reflect on each chapter and what they thought, how the prose was put together, what knowledge they gained, and how well they thought the chapter flowed. At the end of the exercise, ask them to identify three-four key points which reoccur in their reflections for them to discuss. #### 2. Exploring writing online The digital space likely is where much reading and writing will occur in the lives of our students. Why not ask them to investigate a specific topic by looking for resources on websites such as [Archive.org](https://archive.org/) or [Gutenberg.com](https://www.gutenberg.org/) or News websites? Furthermore, you can ask them to write a short annotated bibliography from what they find. Students can share these links using a blog, forum, or glossary on the LMS. ### International Literacy Day in the Classroom The classroom is the perfect place to celebrate this day with attractive activities, such as: #### 3. Pass the book In the classroom, the task is to make the activity fun and engaging, while also encouraging a love of reading and writing. This can be hard to achieve. One idea for the classroom is to ask each student to take a turn to read two pages from a book and then pass it on to the next student in a circle. Continue until everyone has had a go, or the chapter/book is finished. This can be a fun way to encourage reading and can also help improve confidence in public speaking skills at the same time. #### 4. Languages Many students are bilingual, but others only speak one language. Why take advantage of International Literacy Day to discuss languages and compare words/sentences to illustrate the differences/similarities? This is an opportunity for bilingual students to engage with their classmates and learn from each other. It also helps to build a better appreciation of different cultures.

The activities and habits they cultivate in their spare time count just as much as in-class time. #### 5. Compare the book to the movie Another suggestion is to compare books with movies. Students are more likely to engage with a movie than a book, but asking them to compare the two allows them to explore the characters, storyline, and use of language in a whole new way. A “spot the difference” type of activity where students are asked to find differences between the movie adaptation and the book can be a great way to get things started. To make this more manageable, ask them to read just one chapter from the book and compare that to the applicable scene in the movie. What has been changed? What remains the same? Does the imagery in the movie fit with the student's interpretation of the book? #### 6. Write a letter Ask students to write an anonymous letter. This might be what they find hard writing and reading or what they enjoy the most. Explain that this is not a marked assignment but a fact-finding one for you to help the class improve their reading and writing skills by targeting common challenges and difficulties. Making this task anonymous is essential for students to tell you what they genuinely think. If you want to make this an easier task, ask them to write a letter to their hero or favorite fictional character. More than anything, this is honing writing skills and building confidence via a relatively short-length piece of writing.

You can: #### 7. Visit a library Libraries are underused but important spaces for improving literacy skills and sparking excitement. Engaging with a local library is one of the best ways to foster a love of reading and language. So, why not arrange a library tour with a librarian? As a bonus, students can get a library card if they don’t already have one. #### 8. Talk to a published author Invite a local novelist, journalist, or blogger to speak with the students the process of writing and why reading is exciting. This can be a great way for students to learn and become inspired by a role model. If possible, try to find someone relatively young, as students are more likely to see their future selves in someone slightly closer in age. One way to organize this talk is to combine it with a library visit, linking the author to a dedicated reading space. ## What are your favorite International Literacy Day activities? International Literacy Day 2022 provides an opportunity and an excuse to focus on core skills with our students, but also to try and encourage a sense of fun and appreciation of literature. Above all, make sure that any activity that you put on for this day is full of joy, fun, and excitement.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Limited course delivery options, primarily relying on instructor-based training with fixed schedules - Disruption in the medical coding industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating a shift to online training - Maintaining engagement and supplementing the loss of interaction in the transition from facility-based to online learning ### How did things change after 2021? Colin Christie, Co-Founder & Managing Director: It's been an interesting journey since the pandemic started. If we look at where we were more recently, we were  limited in scope. We were doing live, in-person training, with small groups. At first, we were just replicating that same sort of model online, but once we realized the potential, we really scaled up. Now we are able to work with BPO partner companies, and train very large groups of people simultaneously. The concern was if the quality would suffer if we tried to deal with a large group of people. However, the insights that we get from the platform, and the ability to measure the progress of the learners very closely means that we can still maintain that quality, we can intervene very quickly where people need more help. Therefore, we've been able to expand training in two ways: not just in terms of the number of people, but also geographically throughout The Philippines, the Middle East, and literally around the world, so we've come quite a way from where we were a year ago. Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder & Chief Training Officer: For the longest time, we were just dealing with classes of 12-15 learners, that we called "big classes", then we were able to sign up a corporate client, which gave us 100 learners who are supposed to study all of the same time. We knew that CYPHER would be able to do it, but we still had to test it. We were pleasantly surprised that everything held up. All 100 learners went to the course without any hitch, 100 students, four different classes, and different time zones. "When we finally presented them our data, needless to say, they were blown away because they had never seen training data presented that way. We were able to drill deep into the data, showing them with detailed information on learner progress and activity time." Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder & Chief Training Officer ## The solution ### Implementation Colin Christie, Co-Founder & Managing Director: We can say that the shift to this different style of learning, online learning, and the use of the CYPHER platform has produced the results in a very satisfied client base. We realized that learning on an online platform like CYPHER is better because you don't have to have a one-size fits all delivery. You can set up your training in such a way that it adapts, is flexible, and meets more the learning styles of the individual learners. You get better insight into people's challenges and success and how they are able to navigate through the course, so you can intervene much earlier and give them the support that they need. ### Features Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder & Chief Training Officer: Online learning has forced us to explore all of these functions even more because we do not have our face-to-face kind of thing. We used competency-based learning as we were able to align our program in such a way that it measures exactly what the learners would be up to in the certification exam waiting for them 90 days down the line. That setting up of the competencies, eventually feeds into what's called a mastery report, which is a godsend for us because it has taken out all of the guesswork in determining whether a particular learner is ready. When you do the mastery report,  everything is presented in numbers, and we structured it in such a way that everything is measured down to the level of the question, throughout the entire course. The second feature is the dashboard. This is my favorite because it gives you a bird's-eye view of how each learner is doing in the entire course. It tracks their progress and mastery, and it even tracks the amount of time they spend on the course itself. This leads to the third feature that we so love, activity time, which measures how much time each person is spending on one of the activities that we've lined up for them. Those are the three things that impacted us in making sure that training that has been done in the course turned out to be successful. Theo Aman, Live Virtual Class Learner: One of the features that I love the learning management system is its flexibility. One time, our trainers scheduled an exam on the day that I wasn't . Because of how CYPHER was set up, I didn't need my laptop; I just needed a tablet, and when I got to my destination, I was able to take the exam and didn't have to miss it, so that's one of the features of CYPHER that I really love. Franz Tan, Medical Coding Instructor: My personal favorite is the analytics section of the assessments and quizzes because it gives us the overall data on the performance of the classes. Thus, we can easily address their weak points and provide reviews. “With CYPHER, we keep employees engaged by giving them a combination of content types and assessments. For example, in the Content section, we have provided them with Pages, Files, and Web resources. As for the Assessments, they have been using many features like Quiz, Survey, Discussion, and Dropbox.” Lisa Dimech, Divisional Training Manager & Course Instructor ## The results - Transitioning to the CYPHER platform for online course delivery, recommended by partners for its features and ease of use - Rapid implementation of online training within 24 hours, leveraging CYPHER's user-friendly interface and pre-existing setup - Utilizing CYPHER's gamification feature to enhance learner engagement and provide virtual recognition, compensating for the loss of in-person interaction Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder & Chief Training Officer: A lot of the work we did as trainers, myself included, was "manual." In that, we were doing everything and exporting in Excel and whatnot. It's very tedious and hard to capture information, but once you onboard an LMS like CYPHER, all of that tediousness and extra work is taken out. It becomes easier for us to get an idea of how each individual learner is doing without us spending so much time trying to build up that data. At this point, I'd like to share that throughout the time we were shifting fully into online training, we also prepared for doing adult learning, so it became online training "x" adult learning. It was a total paradigm shift for all of us because not only did we have CYPHER taking all of the administrative stuff out, we totally changed perspective and adopted the adult learning method for our learners. In this whole new world of remote work and remote learning, CYPHER's LMS has allowed us to pivot into this whole new way of doing things and then flourish after that. What started out as a business continuity for us turned out to be our growth driver after all. “I can say that my learning journey with CYPHER went very smoothly. It wasn't hard to navigate the platform. The modules were arranged accordingly with the books. I was also able to track my progress and how many days were left until I could finish the course. These features helped my productivity.” Rozel Dimayuga, Online Self-Paced Learner ## Press coverage [AI tool boosts trainee pass rates in medical coder certification tests BusinessWorld](https://www.bworldonline.com/labor-and-management/2024/04/19/589042/ai-tool-boosts-trainee-pass-rates-in-medical-coder-certification-tests/) [Bridging Borders: Filipinos Gain Worldwide Access Through FDA Medical Coding Certifications Good News Pilipinas](https://www.goodnewspilipinas.com/bridging-borders-filipinos-gain-worldwide-access-through-fda-medical-coding-certifications/) [HIMTI Sets Filipinos on Path to Global Healthcare Careers with U.S. Medical Coding Training Education](https://vocal.media/education/himti-sets-filipinos-on-path-to-global-healthcare-careers-with-u-s-medical-coding-training) [HIMTI Sets Filipinos on Path to Global Healthcare Careers with U.S. Medical Coding Training,...

Maybe it’s the perfect duration of the speech, or the great subjects, or maybe it’s a combination of both — but TED Talks sure have a way of keeping watchers mesmerized. Here are 7 TED talks how people learn, what motivation means, the role of the workplace, and other topics L&D professionals could find interesting. 1. ### The puzzle of motivation - Dan Pink Career analyst Dan Pink talks how people are motivated and should be motivated. If businesses turned away from fear-based management to trust-based management and strive for intrinsic motivation, they’ll see **higher engagement and productivity rates and lower turnover rates**. As an instructional designer or L&D professional, your job is not to make employees learn; your job is to allow them to learn. 2. ### The happy secret to better work - Shawn Achor In this laughter-sprinkled talk, psychologist Shawn Achor talks positive psychology and how it can be used to motivate people. Instead of focusing on all the negative things surrounding us, we should train our brains to **find and focus on the positive things**. L&D professionals could use a trick or two of positive psychology when designing **training strategies** or when creating courses. 3. ### Why work doesn’t happen at work - Jason Fried In this laughter-sprinkled talk, psychologist Shawn Achor talks positive psychology and how it can be used to motivate people. Instead of focusing on all the negative things surrounding us, we should train our brains to **find and focus on the positive things**. L&D professionals could use a trick or two of positive psychology when designing **training strategies** or when creating courses. 4. ### Where good ideas come from - Steven Johnson Making you crave some caffeine at first, writer Steven Johnson connects the “liquid networks” of London’s coffee houses to the human brain and the creation of new pathways between synapses. Having ideas is a physical process after all. L&D professionals need to keep in mind that people are social animals and they learn a lot by being part of a group. Therefore, they should observe the **social learning** happening between employees, encourage and facilitate it. 5. ### The power of introverts - Susan Cain Author of “Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking”, Susan Cain talks what it means to be introverted, from childhood settings to workplace settings. Getting to **know introverts, to understand their needs and to find their extraordinary talents** and abilities is something every L&D professional should do, or at least try to do. 6. ### 7 Ways games reward the brain - Tom Chatfield Gaming theorist Tom Chatfield talks the positive things games can bring to our lives. People are hooked on playing games because of progress bars and rankings, the ability to achieve goals, rewards, and instant feedback. If we take these gaming concepts and adapt them to workplace learning, we get **gamification**. This term is very familiar to any L&D professional, and this TED Talk is yet another reason for them to consider including **gamification in business training** courses. 7. ### The workforce crisis of 2030 and how to start solving it now - Rainer Strack Human resources expert Rainer Strack talks the future and the job landscape of 2030. **Technology advances** — robots, artificial intelligence, big data, automation — will transform the job market as we now know it. This talk gives any L&D professional an assurance that jobs related to workplace learning and development will not disappear any time soon.

Doing this in an old-fashioned manner by talking to each student or manually checking attendance sheets and grades can be extremely time-consuming. However, using a [learning management system](/academia) (LMS) allows you to stay updated on various school-related aspects with little effort. How is this possible? By running regular reports. LMSs boast a variety of tools that automatically gather and process information. These platforms track various actions and events. Some examples include students enrolling in a new course, completed assignments, or class certificates. Whether you want to create grade charts or reports class status or class completion, your learning platform can help you out. Discover five of the most common and useful LMS reports your school LMS must have. ## Why use LMS reports for your school? There are a few good reasons why you could and should rely on reporting tools if your school is already using an LMS or is planning to adopt one. These are practical and user-friendly [LMS features](/academia/features) that will help you: ### Save time and easily access information Nowadays, edtech is more present than ever in daily teaching and grading activities, as it helps speed things up and streamline teachers’ work. Moreover, teachers can also [use edtech to personalize education for students](/blog/k-20/using-edtech-to-personalize-education-for-all-students/). All these can only lead to one result: improved efficiency. By running reports on class attendance or test results, you get instant access to information that would otherwise take hours to collect. Just think manually adding the results of each test in a spreadsheet vs. letting the LMS do this job for you. Moreover, LMS reports provide you with data at a glance. You gain access to various report outputs, including tables and charts that are easy to view, understand and remember. ### Make the best decisions based on data, not gut feelings [The purpose of evaluation in education](https://www.academia.edu/35685843/ASSESSMENT_AND_EVALUATION_IN_EDUCATION) isn’t only to help students grow by acquiring new knowledge. Students’ results also say a lot a teacher’s ability to deliver content efficiently and help them grasp the essence of the class. Therefore, by analyzing students’ grades via LMS reports, educational institutions can decide if a certain teacher needs to better adapt their class material or structure to students’ needs. Also, as a teacher, you can draw these conclusions yourself and constantly improve your teaching methods and materials to help students make the most of your classes. ## What are the two main types of LMS reports? LMS reports come in different forms and they provide a lot of insights. They usually fall into two main categories — built-in reports and custom reports. ### Built-in reports Built-in reports are those types of reports your LMS will offer by default. If you access the reporting tool area in your platform, you can check out the available built-in reports. You can simply generate these LMS reports with a few clicks. They can include data on class attendance, class completion, grades, lessons, and plenty more. ### Custom reports Unlike built-in reports, these reports need a bit of extra effort because, as their name suggests, these are customized, which means you have to define them. For this, you need to select the specific parameters you want to use. For example, you can run a combined report to get the class attendance statistics for different groups of students or get both student grades and attendance stats. You can also get more comprehensive reports, for example, on the overall number of classes available in your platform, their type and the teachers responsible for each class. The bottom line is that there are plenty of reports you can generate based on your needs. ## 5 Reports your school LMS must have LMSs vary in design, features, accessibility, etc. However, when it comes to the reports they offer, these systems are more or less similar. There is a set of basic reports you should find in any LMS. Here are some of the most important ones: 1. ### Student reports These reports can be as specific or comprehensive as you want. For example, if you’re an administrator, you can run a report that includes all the students in your institution, their names, year of study, the classes they attend, their enrolment date, and more. Teachers can also gain access to different information the students in their classes with the help of these reports. For example, they can see how many students they’ve got, when they completed an assignment and their missed assignments. 2. ### Class reports Class reports are very useful both for teachers and administrators as they can provide information : - Enrolment: the students who are or have been enrolled in a class; - Attendance: records on how many students attended a class; - Missing work: assignments not yet submitted by students; - Completion: the number of students who have successfully completed a class; - Class status: current or former students and their class completion status; - Compliance: classes that are necessary for compliance purposes and their status. With this data, you can build a comprehensive image of student performance, their preferences and abilities, and the areas they need to improve. Also, you will know what actions are required on teachers’ behalf to ensure students enjoy a smooth learning experience especially in the remote or blended environment. For example, if multiple students struggle to complete a particular class, you might want to change some of its contents. If a student has class attendance problems or fails to complete their assessments, it might be useful to schedule a 1:1 meeting to discuss and solve these issues. Thus, LMS reports can help you spot common student problems and find [the most appropriate solutions for absenteeism](https://www.hanoverresearch.com/reports-and-briefs/5-tips-reduce-student-absenteeism/), missing work, or other challenges. 3. ### Assessment reports LMSs not only enable you to [minimize cheating in online assessments](/blog/k-20/how-to-minimize-cheating-in-online-assessments/), but they also help save valuable time by automatically grading assignments. After students complete an assessment, you simply access the LMS to run a report and see how they performed. Assessment reports offer a quick overview of how your students evolve based on their results. There’s no need to check each test or each user profile manually. All you need is included in one straightforward document you can download and save for later use. These reports also enable you to get student progress statistics over time. You can include multiple test results in a single report to realize if your students are making headway. Then, based on what the numbers show, you can adapt your classes accordingly and [customize each student’s learning path](/blog/k-20/why-each-student-needs-a-personalized-learning-path/) by: - Asking them to retake certain classes or tests; - Giving them extra resources to study; - Using [adaptive learning](/blog/k-20/using-adaptive-learning-to-personalize-learning-experiences/) to show relevant content based on each student’s level. Read more: [Is an LMS the best grading companion for teachers?](/blog/k-20/is-an-lms-the-best-grading-companion-for-teachers/) 4. ### Group reports Group reports are also useful, especially for administrators who need to understand their student demographics. An LMS allows you to create various student groups based on different criteria such as: - The classes students enrolled in; - Students’ age and year of study; - The teacher who’s in charge of a class or group. With the help of reporting features, you can easily see how many groups of students the platform has or how many members in each. You can also select the parameters you need for custom reports. For instance, you can run a report on the students' age in each group to see which one predominates. Their location or other demographics such as age can also be included in group reports. 5. ### Organization reports This is another report administrators can run, customize, and share with stakeholders. Within an LMS, organizations can represent schools in a district, the different departments of a school or university, or the groups within an educational institution. Every user can be associated with the correspondent organization. Administrators can access each organization and run related reports. Organization reports include different data and statistics on classes, users, groups, and more. This information can easily be customized or filtered based on the existing requirements and necessities. For example, an organization report can include the name and type of classes provided by each department. The duration of each class, the teachers in charge, and the number of students enrolled in each class can also be added to the report. All these insights can be used in larger reports that stakeholders require to make data-driven decisions. ## Conclusion LMSs facilitate growth for students and educators in many ways. Reports are just one of the main features that drive development and improvement with the help of in-depth, accurate data. Learning platforms provide an extensive array of reporting tools you can use to retrieve important insights students and classes and improve your in-person or online teaching accordingly.

While challenges like siloed processes and outdated metrics may slow progress, this stage offers incredible potential for transformation. **Your current state** - Learning is primarily event-based and reactive - Metrics focus on participation and completions rather than impact - Learning is siloed, with limited connection to broader business goals **Your challenges** - Teams struggle to see the relevance of training in their daily work - Leadership questions the ROI of learning investments - Learning is perceived as an HR function, not a strategic asset ## What to focus on Shift to continuous learning Start embedding learning opportunities into daily workflows i.e., microlearning modules tied to specific tasks can help employees apply knowledge immediately. Set simple, clear goals Instead of tracking attendance, focus on goals like improving job readiness or closing a specific skill gap. Involve leadership Share small wins with leadership to build buy-in for expanding learning initiatives. ## Questions to ask your team or leaders 1. How well do our current learning initiatives align with our business goals? 2. Are employees able to immediately apply what they learn in training? 3. What are the most significant barriers preventing us from embedding learning into daily workflows? 4. Who should be involved in creating and piloting new learning initiatives? 5. How can we better communicate the value of learning to leadership and employees? ## Practical tips Measure what matters Begin tracking meaningful metrics, like time-to-proficiency or task performance improvements. Start small Choose one department or team to pilot continuous learning initiatives. Use technology to advantage Implement easy-to-use tools like learning platforms or knowledge-sharing hubs. ## Your next step **Build a strong foundation by aligning learning with business goals and making it relevant to your teams.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Ensuring all teachers across the network were adequately trained to effectively use the LMS - Transitioning from traditional teaching methods to an outcome-based approach required adjustments in curriculum delivery “CYPHER makes their life easier because it lessens their paperwork.” Aime Lazaro, Head of Training ## The solution Aisa Q. Hipolito, Vice President for Academics: Our methodology is an outcome based approach, where we make sure that our students, the skills that they learn are put into practice. These are exercises and activities, wherein we make sure that whatever they apply are based on industry standards. Using CYPHER, students get to see their progress in the different competencies and the teachers can also easily track the progress of students. This is a platform where the students and the teachers alike are able to collaborate on their work and learning experiences. Heide Balcera, Academic Faculty Researcher: Since STI is a network of schools and we make use of the standardized curriculum, CYPHER helps us in distributing coursework materials, and giving notifications and announcements to all the campuses of STI. As an administrator, CYPHER is incredibly helpful because it enables us to generate analytics of the usage of our students, as well as tracking reports. Since using CYPHER it's much easier to track the attendance of our students, and also we can see which students are having difficulty in various subjects because of the competency-based learning feature. We are also able to provide students with intervention activities so that we can assess them and help them if they are struggling with their academics. ### Features **Drip content:** My favorite feature is drip content. It allows you to release content in a sequential manner, so it doesn't give you the entire module at one time - Aime Lazaro, Head of Training **Security:** Since STI takes an outcome-based education approach. We see to it that our students understand the lesson and apply it to their lives, especially when they do their assignments, outputs, and other projects. For me, the most helpful feature on CYPHER is that the files are secured. I can easily extract them anytime and wherever I may be. I am also confident enough that the students are aware of the deadlines and also our class schedules - Ka Lai Wan, Faculty Member **Analytics:** One of the most remarkable features of CYPHER's LMS that goes beyond the usual classroom setting is that students can keep up with their lessons and they can even submit their assignments on time even if they are not physically present in school. Students are more engaged and they are also more participative during classroom discussions. With the help of the analytics in CYPHER, I can easily track student progress - Rodolfo Bautista, Academic Head “CYPHER is incredibly helpful because it enables us to generate analytics of the usage of our students, as well as tracking reports.” Heide Balcera, Academic Faculty Researcher ## The results - CYPHER facilitated better tracking of student progress and enhanced collaboration between students and teachers across the network - The platform streamlined administrative tasks such as attendance tracking, analytics generation, and intervention planning, leading to increased efficiency - Students reported improved organization, accessibility, and engagement with schoolwork through CYPHER, enabling them to stay on top of assignments and deadlines Aisa Q. Hipolito, Vice President for Academics: Feedback from our teachers is that they are able to appreciate CYPHER because all the exercises are centeralized. In the past when students were not able to keep up with different activities, they had to come up with their own. But with the LMS, when they tell us, "can we have more activities and exercises on a particular competency?", we are able to share it with them across the network. So the teachers are able to give more exercises, assessments, and different modules to help our students learn better and achieve the outcomes that we want them to achieve at the end of the day. Jamie Rhei Vargas, Senior High School Student: What I love CYPHER, is that it helps me to stay organized as a student. I can do my schoolwork even when I'm on the go, I don't need to always carry a laptop with me because it's accessible. I can have my phone, and then it's just a touch of a finger. I can also review, I can submit papers, I know my deadlines and my tasks, which is very handy for me. Shaira Gonzalvo, Hospitality Management Student: My teachers use CYPHER in a way that make us students engaged and classes more interactive, because we have this visual guide where we can actually see the things that they are explaining to us, discussing with us, and this way we're able to keep up with everything that they are explaining to us in class. “My teachers use CYPHER in a way that make us students engaged and classes more interactive ... we're able to keep up with everything that they are explaining to us in class.” Shaira Gonzalvo, Hospitality Management Student ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/academia/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-STI-Education-Services-Group.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

This approach ensures that technological tools enhance, rather than dictate, the learning experience. Here's an updated exploration of why putting pedagogy first and technology second is key to the success of hybrid classes. ## The primacy of pedagogical objectives **Foundational insight:** At the heart of any successful educational endeavor are well-defined pedagogical objectives. These objectives should guide the selection and implementation of technological tools in the hybrid classroom. It's essential to start with clear learning goals and outcomes, then explore how technology can support these aims, rather than adopting new tech for its own sake. ## Tailoring technology to enhance learning **Strategic integration:** The vast array of available edtech tools offers endless possibilities for enhancing hybrid learning. However, the effectiveness of these tools depends on their alignment with pedagogical strategies. Educators should select technologies that offer meaningful interaction, personalized learning paths, and opportunities for collaboration, ensuring these tools are integrated in ways that enrich the curriculum and engage students. ## Fostering engagement and interaction **Engagement-centric approaches:** In a hybrid environment, maintaining student engagement can be challenging. Pedagogy-first approaches focus on interactive and collaborative learning experiences, using technology as a means to facilitate discussion, teamwork, and active learning. Tools like virtual break-out rooms, interactive polls, and collaborative online projects can support these pedagogical goals, making learning more dynamic and participatory. ## Navigating the digital divide **Inclusive practices:** A pedagogy-first approach also involves recognizing and addressing the challenges of digital access and literacy. By prioritizing educational goals, educators can identify and implement technologies that are accessible to all students, including those with limited access to high-speed internet or advanced devices. This might involve using mobile-friendly platforms, providing offline resources, or adopting low-bandwidth tools to ensure that every student can participate fully in hybrid learning. ## Empowering educators through professional development **Continuous learning for teachers:** To effectively put pedagogy first, educators themselves need opportunities for professional growth that focus on both pedagogical strategies and technological proficiency. Professional development programs should empower teachers to design engaging hybrid learning experiences, offering training on both the theoretical and practical aspects of blending online and in-person instruction. ## The path forward with pedagogy and technology In the evolving educational landscape, the success of hybrid classes hinges on a pedagogy-first, technology-second approach. This philosophy ensures that technological tools are leveraged strategically to meet pedagogical objectives, enhancing the learning experience rather than overshadowing it. As we look to the future, the continuous dialogue between pedagogical innovation and technological advancement will remain central to creating meaningful, engaging, and inclusive hybrid learning environments. By revisiting and reinforcing the principle of "Pedagogy First, Technology Second," this updated blog post highlights the enduring importance of placing educational goals at the forefront of hybrid learning. As educators continue to navigate the complexities of blending in-person and online instruction, this approach will guide the creation of enriching and effective learning experiences for students across diverse educational contexts.

Depending on how much you enjoy creative writing, you’ll be happy or daunted by this notion, yet the bottom line is that posting regularly on a blog can increase your marketing success. The ultimate goal is to direct lots of traffic from your blog posts to your online course landing page. Here are five things to keep in mind when **developing a blog as a course creator**: 1. ### Focus on quality over quantity People who search for solutions to their problems want to find genuine answers. To attract new customers, your blog should **offer something of value**. It’s better to **take your time to research a subject** and publish a lengthier, more in-depth article once a week than struggle to come up with something every other day. 2. ### Include graphics Share images on your [Pinterest](/blog/entrepreneurs/is-pinterest-a-part-of-your-course-marketing-strategy-already/) and [Instagram](/blog/entrepreneurs/using-instagram-imagery-to-your-advantage/) accounts to get better visibility and direct more traffic to your blog. Of course, it’s easier to work with a graphic designer, but there’s the possibility to do it on your own with minimal resources. There are several ways for you to **create branded graphics**, from Photoshop or Illustrator to [Canva](https://www.canva.com/) or go with free apps. 3. ### Be yourself Blog writing may or may not be your forte but you shouldn’t make it more difficult by using something other than **your own voice**. Do not pretend to be someone else or try to use language that doesn't come naturally to you – you’ll either eventually slip or it will become very tedious. 4. ### Make an archive of your blog posts Organize the blog content in a way that makes it easy for visitors to **find all the major topics** on your site. Create an archive or a summary page and add a search button. Limiting your audience to those who happen to come across one of your titles at a certain time is a mistake – make it easy for them to read more. 5. ### Have strong URLs Your blog post URL should be focused on **keyword or keyword phrases** that indicate what the content of your blog actually is . Search engines can’t unscramble complicated URLs, they just read them so if you want your target audience to find you, be relevant to the search engine first.

Through their vast network of stores nationwide, they offer a wide range of banking products and services, as well as allied financial services: non-life insurance brokerage, bancassurance, and leasing. EastWest Bank is committed to delivering innovative and integrated financial products with excellent service that meets the evolving needs of its customers. It fosters employee growth and recognition, supports community well being through outreach, adheres to the highest standards of ethics and governance, and ensures optimal returns for shareholders through prudent management. Learning and Development is one of the critical drivers in EastWest Bank's mission and vision where employees are seen as the Bank's secret weapon. "Empowering employees through upskilling and continuous development will propel the Bank to further success." Jeremie Lois Goze, Learning Officer INDUSTRY Financial services and banking COMPANY SIZE Large enterprise HEADQUARTERS Manila, Philippines SERVICES Personal, business, and mobile banking Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Features](#sub_section_1) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Managing scalability concerns with a growing workforce and 392 stores nationwide - Training programs lacked interactivity and relevance, resulting in low engagement - Lacked comprehensive insights into training progress and outcomes, making it difficult to measure impact and align learning initiatives with business objectives Prior to implementing CYPHER, EastWest Bank faced **issues with scalability**, engagement, accessibility, standardization, and compliance. Additionally, they needed the ability to incorporate **data-driven decision making** to ensure that **training programs are aligned with key business objectives**. “At EastWest, we believe in looking ahead and preparing for how we can mitigate the risks that may arise as a result of our unprecedented growth.” Jeremie Lois Goze, Learning Officer ## The solution - Centralized training delivery to ensure consistency at scale - Self-paced learning to empower learning ownership - Automatically monitor compliance requirements - Tracking skills gaps to proactively encourage upskilling Since adopting CYPHER, our learning and development processes have undergone significant transformation, leading to measurable improvements in engagement, efficiency, and learning outcomes. CYPHER provided a **centralized, cloud-based platform** that supported training delivery at scale, ensuring **consistency and efficiency across 392 stores nationwide**. At EastWest, we call our CYPHER platform LEAP, an acronym for “Learning Everywhere, Anytime Platform”. This will be the first time that the Bank's learning platform can be accessed on any device, anywhere. ### Features Interactive modules and gamification have made learning more engaging for employees. The platform’s user-friendly interface encourages participation and **allows employees to learn at their own pace**, anytime and anywhere. CYPHER Agent is a game changer since this **simplifies course creation** and **empowers learners to own their learning journeys**. Through the courses generated by CYPHER Agent, learners have access to the platform at any given point in time, addressing just-in-time learning. LEAP (CYPHER) analytics and reporting tools provide deep insights into employee progress and skill gaps. Previously, we were tracking skill gaps manually. With the **Skills Development feature**, we can now track these skills within the platform automatically and **provide proactive recommendations for upskilling**. The skill mastery is visible to the learners as well so that they can also see which skills they need to improve, allowing them to request other available pre-built courses in LEAP to address their skills gaps. Through the analytics of LEAP, we are also able to **effectively monitor the 40-hour training requirement of all employees**, which is part of their compliance (KRA). "CYPHER Learning has revolutionized our training processes, making learning accessible, engaging, and impactful. With its innovative features and data-driven insights, we’ve empowered our employees and aligned our training initiatives with organizational goals—driving measurable improvements in learning engagement." Jeremie Lois Goze, Learning Officer ## The results - Boosted accessibility to reach over 6,000 users - 98% completion rate (up from 88%) - Drove higher engagement with learning initiatives LEAP has empowered **over 6,000 employees across 392 stores** in the Philippines to access learning anytime, anywhere. It has become our primary tool for delivering training content seamlessly. By centralizing all training records within LEAP, we can easily generate analytics and reports, including the Employee Training Record (ETR), which tracks the compliance completion of the required 40-hour training for all employees. Additionally, LEAP's automation features have significantly enhanced our monitoring of mandatory and compliance courses, which we refer to as "Race to 100." As a result, our **completion rate has increased from 88% in 2023 to 98% in 2024**. In December, we launched the *A Yuletide Path to Growth: 12 Days of Holiday Learning* initiative, designed to foster skill development during the busy holiday season. This program featured daily, 30-minute courses focused on leadership, growth mindset, cybersecurity, and goal setting, all framed within a festive Christmas theme. The modules were created using CYPHER Agent, which played a critical role in **meeting tight deadlines and delivering quality content**. To enhance engagement, the initiative was gamified, encouraging participation and completion. A total of 2,298 employees took part in the challenge, with 1,107 successfully completing the program, resulting in a 48% completion rate. Given the timing of the launch—amid end-of-year performance reviews, holiday activities, and employee leaves—this outcome reflects a **strong engagement level** and successful uptake of the learning opportunity. "By adopting CYPHER, organizations can empower their workforce, drive innovation, and achieve long-term success through a modern, user-friendly learning platform tailored to today’s dynamic business environment."

We are proud that CYPHER Learning has been recognized with a Silver Globee® Award in the “Achievement in Customer Success Story” category – highlighting NTT DATA’s impressive results using CYPHER Learning solutions.  As background, the prestigious Globee® Awards are dedicated to recognizing and celebrating excellence, innovation, and leadership across industries that shape the future of business and society. Through a peer-to-peer evaluation process by industry experts, business owners, and professionals, the program honors individuals and organizations worldwide for their achievements.  Below is a summary of NTT DATA’s challenges and how CYPHER Learning solutions helped the company transform its learning and development (L&D) needs.  ## NTT DATA L&D challenges NTT DATA struggled with low learning engagement, manual compliance tracking, and scalability until the company realized it needed a modern, AI-driven approach to make learning more engaging, efficient, and automated.  Despite NTT’s commitment to learning, its existing training system was not keeping pace with its evolving needs. Learning was lecture-heavy, engagement was low, and manual tracking of compliance training was inefficient and error-prone. As class sizes grew, training teams struggled to scale, spending hours on administrative tasks instead of focusing on improving training effectiveness. Compliance was another critical challenge. As a provider to the financial services sector, NTT must meet strict regulatory standards, requiring all employees to complete mandatory compliance training within 30 days. Before implementing the CYPHER Learning platform and CYPHER Agent, manual reporting processes led to inconsistent tracking, making audits stressful and prone to data inaccuracies. ## NTT DATA results using CYPHER Learning Through its AI-powered learning platform, CYPHER Learning helped NTT DATA modernize its learning ecosystem to transform learning and development within the organization – all to automate training processes, improve engagement, and optimize compliance tracking. The impressive results speak for themselves: - With CYPHER, NTT **training engagement has soared from 60% to 96%** after implementing gamified learning paths to drive motivation and accountability. - Onboarding has become significantly more efficient. CYPHER automation features have **reduced classroom preparation time by two hours per new hire class**, allowing trainers to spend more time coaching employees instead of managing administrative tasks. - Administrative efficiency has also improved. Streamlined data retrieval has **reduced in-class administrative tasks by 1 to 2 hours per session**, enabling trainers to focus on learner engagement and coaching. Real-time dashboards provide instant access to student progress, performance tracking, and system activity, eliminating the need for manual reporting and tracking. - Learning effectiveness has seen a measurable impact. Before CYPHER, **the average assessment score was 85%—now, pilot groups average 93%**, demonstrating improved knowledge retention and application. - Improved data usability has led to significant time savings. The data extracted from CYPHER is immediately actionable, eliminating the need for manual data processing. This improvement has **freed up an average of 2 workdays per month** that were previously spent on data cleanup and manipulation. **Over the course of a year, these efficiencies add up to 24 saved workdays—an entire month of administrative time reclaimed.**With instant access to accurate, real-time data, the team can now make faster, data-driven decisions, further enhancing operational efficiency. - NTT DATA’s new leadership development programs have already scaled successfully, with structured training paths ensuring managers receive consistent, high-quality training across multiple locations.

That’s a winning scenario, especially when workforce data shows that team members are only able to devote a meager [1% of their work week](https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/global/Documents/HumanCapital/gx-cons-hc-learning-solutions-placemat.pdf) to learning and development.  By standardizing training across departments, organizations can improve consistency, close skill gaps, and create a more agile workforce. Learning management systems (LMS) are accelerating training programs by making it easier to deliver consistent, scalable learning across large organizations and global teams. These tools help standardize training while allowing for flexibility and personalization where it matters most. In this post, we’ll walk through the importance of enterprise training, strategies for success, challenges to overcome, and the technology that can help you execute your vision. ## Your guide to enterprise L&D success 1. [Impact of enterprise-wide training](#impact) 2. [Components of an effective strategy](#components) 3. [Common challenges](#challenges) 4. [AI in enterprise training initiatives](#ai) 5. [CYPHER Learning for enterprise](#CYPHER) 6. [Get started](#start) ## What impact do enterprise training programs have? Building a culture of learning is more than just checking off a box on an HR to-do list. Training employees is crucial for software companies to maintain a competitive advantage and foster a strong ecosystem.  When you build healthier learning opportunities, you’re actually making a tangible investment in your organization’s growth and compliance. Want to crush the competition? Having a [learning-centric culture](https://www.forbes.com/sites/markcperna/2022/04/12/why-learning--development-is-now-a-competitive-differentiator-and-how-to-get-on-board/) is one part of that goal. These are just a few of the reasons why forward-thinking companies are jumping in. ### Create consistency in compliance Standardized training ensures that all employees, regardless of department or location, receive the same critical information. Involving key stakeholders is essential to ensure that the training meets the needs of learners, leaders, and partners. Consistency is especially crucial for organizations that need to meet regulatory compliance requirements and reduce risk over violations. Did you know? CYPHER [elevates compliance training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance) to reduce risk, trim costs, and bring a more innovative approach to every learner on your team.  ### Improving employee performance and productivity Employees feel confident and empowered when they have top-notch tools and skills to succeed over time. Training programs focused on competencies empower employees, improve overall job performance, streamline workflows, and boost productivity. ### Foster scalability and growth With company growth comes the challenge of onboarding new hires, training remote or hybrid teams, and preparing employees to move easily into new roles.  A well-built [enterprise training program](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/extended-enterprise-training) scales with your organization, giving entry-level employees, people managers, and executives the skills they need for growth. For example, a global eCommerce brand can use a centralized training platform to onboard thousands of employees consistently, regardless of where they work. ### Bridge the skills gaps with training content Training data analytics can identify skill gaps and the need for new skills across the workforce. Enterprise-wide initiatives allow organizations to address these proactively through targeted training, ensuring the team evolves alongside the business. Still searching for a fix? A modern approach to skills development focuses on the person and provides unbiased [assessment towards skills mastery](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development).  ## Components of effective enterprise learning strategies Building a successful enterprise training program means being strategic, not just having good intentions. Building a stronger enterprise learning framework means that in the near future, your company can create consistent, effective training that supports employee growth and keeps teams in alignment.  ### Personalized learning paths While training content should remain unified, custom courses that employees across different departments and roles get the most relevant information without feeling overwhelmed. Tailored learning paths help make the training experience more engaging and effective. ### Data-driven analytics Tracking the success of training is critical. Defining desired outcomes is essential to ensure that training objectives align with measurable goals. Analytics tools in modern LMS platforms allow HR professionals to measure key metrics such as completion rates and knowledge retention, identifying areas for program improvement. ### Mobile flexibility and accessibility A busy workforce demands flexible learning solutions. Self-paced learning, mobile accessibility, and video-based lessons can improve participation by making training convenient for employees. ## Challenges when implementing enterprise-wide training While enterprise-wide training offers many advantages, it’s not without challenges. Here’s how to tackle a few of the biggest roadblocks to make sure that your employees are engaged, able to access the right content, and ready to hit new learning milestones. ### Engagement and retention issues Some employees may feel training is irrelevant or not engaging. Combat this by providing access to comprehensive training materials, using gamification elements, interactive courses, and rewards to maintain interest and motivation. ### Technology and integration barriers Selecting an LMS that integrates smoothly with your existing enterprise tools (e.g., HRIS or CRM systems) reduces disruption and improves adoption rates. Collaborating with key partners ensures smooth integration and enhances the overall effectiveness of the system. ### Cost or resource allocation Developing and maintaining training programs requires thoughtful budgeting. Align training directly with business goals to ensure measurable ROI and resource justification. ## AI in enterprise training—What it does and why it matters Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing corporate training by making it faster, more adaptive, and increasingly intelligent. At CYPHER, we’ve done the work (and research) to make sure that you have answers to important questions how AI is at work in the learning community. Check out our [AI guides and research reports](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai) to learn more implementation, data security, and future trends. Here’s a snapshot at some of the ways AI is influencing enterprise learning in positive ways. - **Personalized learning experiences**: AI can analyze employee performance and learning patterns to recommend tailored training content, ensuring maximum relevance and value. Fortunately, these advancements can also identify learning roadblocks before they become more time-consuming issues. - **AI-backed analysis**: When you integrate AI into your learning performance dashboard, it can provide real-time insights into learner behavior. This data helps organizations track progress, identify knowledge gaps, and predict future training needs in light of corporate growth or strategic direction. - **Smart training content recommendations**: AI algorithms curate content that matches individual learning goals, saving time and improving engagement by providing the most valuable resources. If you’re using generative AI to build courses, this adds even more variety and capability to your growing learning library. ## CYPHER powers enterprise-wide engagement CYPHER offers a scalable LMS solution purpose-built for large-scale training initiatives.

They aim to deliver industry-leading, quality education and training, building an innovative and entrepreneurial skilled labour force across Vanuatu. "With CYPHER Learning, VIT now offers 24/7 access to course materials for all 295 courses, making learning more accessible to students, including those in remote areas. The scalable nature of the platform means that as VIT grows, additional courses can be created and launched with ease, maintaining the same level of efficiency and quality." Wade Evans, Principal INDUSTRY Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) COUNTRY Vanuatu SIZE Medium Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Features](#sub_section_1) [Implementation](#sub_section_2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Needed access to analytics tools and reporting to verify learning outcomes - Finding the right platform to balance resource efficiency, compliance, and learner experience - Engagement and communication were priorities to help foster a sense of community among students The combination of inefficient feedback mechanisms, poor communication, and administrative burdens significantly impacted VIT’s ability to achieve its goals. Delayed feedback and inconsistent assessments reduced student satisfaction and performance, while gaps in compliance with Vanuatu Quality Assurance Framework (VQAF) standards affected the institution’s credibility. These challenges also made it **harder to attract students and forge partnerships**, limiting VIT’s growth potential. **Trainers often struggled to align their materials and assessments with VQAF requirements, resulting in compliance gaps**. These inefficiencies didn’t just undermine internal operations—they also negatively affected the institution's reputation, making it harder to maintain a standard of high-quality education. Without a centralized system, fostering collaboration and support among stakeholders was difficult. Students felt disconnected, and trainers often found it challenging to address concerns promptly. This poor communication flow made it harder to create a collaborative and supportive learning environment. ## The solution - Task automation has reduced administrative workload by approximately 40% - CYPHER Agent features have supported trainers by incorporating interactive elements and personalized learning paths - The switch to CYPHER has seamlessly supported the shift from paper-based processes to digital workflows The introduction of CYPHER LMS has significantly streamlined administrative and instructional processes, resulting in noticeable productivity gains: - **Administrative efficiency**: Automated workflows for enrollment, grading, and reporting have **reduced the workload** on staff by **approximately 40%**. This allows trainers and administrators to focus more on strategic tasks like curriculum development and student support. - **Time saved in manual processes**: Tasks that previously required hours to complete, such as compiling grades or distributing materials, now take minutes. **Staff productivity** in these areas has increased by an **estimated 50%**. ### Features CYPHER Agent has been a game-changer in simplifying content creation for trainers. CYPHER Agent leverages AI-powered tools to assist educators in designing and structuring course materials, reducing the time and effort involved in content development. - **Interactive learning materials**: Trainers can create quizzes, assignments, and multimedia presentations that engage students more effectively. - **Customized learning paths**: The ability to tailor content based on individual student progress ensures that learners receive personalized instruction that matches their pace and understanding. - **Effortless updates**: Trainers can quickly modify existing content to incorporate industry updates or compliance requirements, ensuring that courses remain relevant and current. This tool has not only made the process of curriculum development more efficient but has also encouraged trainers to experiment with innovative teaching methodologies. ### Implementation One of the most impactful changes has been the availability of course content around the clock. Learners can access digital materials, including lecture notes, instructional videos, quizzes, and supplementary resources, at any time. Students now have the flexibility to revisit challenging concepts as often as needed, leading to better understanding and long-term retention. This has been especially beneficial for those balancing education with work or family commitments. At VIT, feedback indicates that learners feel more confident in recalling information during assessments and applying it in practical scenarios. One of the most significant impacts of adopting CYPHER LMS has been the shift from paper-based processes to digital workflows. This transition has led to substantial cost reductions in several areas: - **Streamlined administrative tasks**: Enrollments, attendance tracking, and grade submissions are automated, saving both time and money. - **Efficient resource management**: Digital storage ensures that resources are centralized and accessible, eliminating the costs associated with physical storage and duplication. **The financial savings from these changes have allowed VIT to reinvest in other critical areas, such as infrastructure and professional development for trainers**. CYPHER LMS has sparked a renewed enthusiasm for blended learning among trainers, combining the best of in-person and online teaching. The platform’s features have made it easier for trainers to deliver engaging and flexible learning experiences: - **Flexible scheduling**: Trainers can use the LMS to schedule in-person sessions while supplementing them with online modules that students can complete at their convenience. - **Engaging online tools**: Features like discussion boards, real-time messaging, and interactive assignments have enhanced trainer-student interactions, even outside the classroom. - **Remote accessibility**: Students in remote areas now have equal access to learning resources, ensuring inclusivity and reducing geographical barriers. This shift to blended learning has improved student participation and satisfaction, while trainers feel empowered to experiment with new teaching techniques. ## The results - Interactive features have increased learner engagement by approximately 30% - With 295 courses created, VIT has saved approximately $3.3 million USD with CYPHER Agent - Enhanced accessibility has resulted in a 20% increase in course completion rates CYPHER has been instrumental in fostering a more engaging and supportive learning environment, contributing to better student outcomes: - **Higher engagement rates**: Interactive features like quizzes, gamification, and real-time feedback have increased learner engagement by approximately 30%. - **Improved completion rates**: The availability of digital resources and personalized learning paths has resulted in a 20% increase in course completion rates. - **Enhanced accessibility**: Internet-enabled classrooms and online access to course materials have enabled students, especially those in remote areas, to stay connected and actively participate in their learning. The financial implications of adopting CYPHER Agent have been equally remarkable. Before adopting CYPHER, course creation at VIT was a labor-intensive process, requiring extensive manual input and coordination between trainers and administrators. By automating tasks that previously required extensive man-hours, VIT has achieved substantial cost reductions: - **Cost savings per course**: Each course created using CYPHER Agent saves an estimated $11,200 USD. - **Total cost savings**: With 295 courses created, VIT has saved approximately $3.3 million USD, or approximately 400,425,135 VUV. - **Reinvestment opportunities**: These savings have been reinvested in infrastructure upgrades, such as the installation of TV screens and internet access in classrooms, and professional development for trainers. ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

August 11, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read For organizations training more than 500 learners per month, CYPHER Learning offers a fully white-labeled LMS, web, mobile, email, and even multi-tenant portals, all customizable to deliver your brand’s unique experience. ## What is a white‑label LMS? A white-label learning platform enables organizations to customize and brand every aspect of the training experience as their own. This includes: - Custom web domains and logos. - Branded email notifications. - Mobile apps published under your name. - Thoroughly segmented portals for different clients or business units. This is essential for training providers, enterprises, or franchises that want full ownership of the learner experience, without visible vendor branding. ## CYPHER Learning: full-spectrum white‑label LMS According to CYPHER Learning's dedicated page on white-label LMS features, the platform supports: [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/white-label-lms). - **Complete rebranding**– Logos, colors, font, domain, email templates, and mobile UI are fully customizable. - **Custom mobile app** – Publish your own branded app on iOS/Android. - **Multi‑tenant architecture**– Create and manage multiple branded portals under a single account, ideal for agencies, enterprises, or global operations with segmented audiences. - **No visible vendor**– CYPHER’s name is not shown to learners or administrators anywhere across the platform. ## CYPHER Learning vs. other white‑label LMS platforms Feature CYPHER Learning TalentLMS (Example Competitor A) Docebo / Similar (Competitor B) White-label depth Complete: custom domain, UI, mobile app, emails, multi‑tenant portals; vendor name fully removed. Partial: branded interface and domain, but vendor name still appears. Partial‑to‑advanced: supports branding but vendor trace remains; multi‑tenant limited. Custom web domain per portal Fully supported – each portal can have its own domain or subdomain. Domain possible but standard setup only; multi‑tenant not native. Domain support; multi‑tenant requires extra configuration or cost. Branded mobile app Full publish under your brand on iOS/Android—no mention of CYPHER. Basic branding—may still include vendor references or limited features. Branding is possible, but often with less control or vendor visibility. Multi‑tenant portal branding Native support: separate branding, design, user roles, and analytics per portal. Not inherently supported. Partial or complex—requires manual setup. Branded communications (emails, UI) Fully branded notifications and UI per portal—no vendor trace. Branded emails are possible, but vendor logos or mentions may persist. Email branding is possible, but full platform cover varies. Vendor visibility None—CYPHER’s brand is completely hidden at all touchpoints. Some vendor branding may remain within interface or URLs. Partial removal; backend or footer mentions often remain. Multi‑tenant management Built-in: manage all portals under one admin environment. Separate instances or manual grouping required. Multi‑tenant not native; complex architecture needed. ## How CYPHER compares to other platforms ### 1. TalentLMS Offers white‑labeling with logo, colors, domain, emails, and mobile app branding. Great for small teams, but lacks the native multi‑tenant portal structure needed at scale [Source: TalentLMS](https://help.talentlms.com/hc/en-us/articles/14872333440028-How-to-white-label-your-TalentLMS-portal). ### 2. Docebo Supports custom branding, domain, and mobile app features. However, multi‑portal deployment with isolated branding requires advanced configuration and may involve additional costs [Source: Docebo](https://help.docebo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020080940-Branded-mobile-app-publisher). ### 3. LearnWorlds & Paradiso Popular for digital course creators. They provide domain, UI, and certificate branding, but aren’t optimized for organizations with 500+ learners managing multiple brands or business units [Source: LearnWorlds](https://www.learnworlds.com/white-label-website/). ## Who needs white-label training at scale? Organizations with more than 500 learners benefit most from full white-label support. CYPHER Learning is especially suited for: - **Training providers**delivering content to corporate clients. - **Global enterprises**with divisions or subsidiaries requiring distinct branding. - **Franchise networks** offering branded, location‑specific training. - **Agencies or associations** needing client‑specific experiences under one admin umbrella. Each portal in CYPHER Learning operates within its domain, interface, and user base, while administrators can oversee them all from a single account [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/white-label-lms). ## What makes the CYPHER platform's white-label solution different? According to their official documentation and platform walkthroughs: - **Each portal can have its domain, look, and user roles.** - **The mobile app is truly white‑labeled**, not just themed. - **Admin communications (emails, notifications)** are rebranded end‑to‑end. - **Analytics and dashboards**are isolated per portal, but consolidated at the top level. - **No vendor reference**appears across user interfaces or messages. This depth of control is often absent from other platforms that only allow partial rebranding [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/white-label-lms). ## Summary If your organization manages 500 or more learners and delivers training under multiple brands, departments, or clients, a white-label LMS is essential. CYPHER Learning stands out by offering: - Full-spectrum white-label support: web, mobile, emails, portals. - Multi-tenant architecture with centralized control. - Zero vendor visibility. - Customizable mobile apps published under your brand. Compared to other platforms, CYPHER delivers a comprehensive, enterprise-ready white-label experience, designed for scalability and branded ownership. ## FAQs CYPHER Learning Q: Can I run multiple brands or client portals on a single platform?A: Yes—you can run multiple brands or client portals on a single platform using multi-tenant architecture on the CYPHER platform.

You can publish your own version of the app with your logo and brand colors, offering a seamless experience that looks and feels like your organization—powered by CYPHER behind the scenes. Q: Do learners ever see the vendor’s name (CYPHER)?A: No—learners will not see the CYPHER name anywhere. The platform offers a fully white-labeled experience, meaning your users only interact with your brand at every touchpoint, from login screens to course dashboards.

As this study was conducted before the pandemic, the estimated numbers might be way higher due to several other factors besides technological advancements. Now, it's even more important for employees to be able to learn the right skills. They need to move forward in a changing business environment and organizations have the difficult task to not only reskill but right-skill their workforce. ## Knowing the needs We’ve all been in this global upheaval for long enough to get an idea where things are going and how everything will look at the end of this (unwanted) journey. While it’s not an easy job, organizations need to take a good look at their human resource and future. They have to know what skills will become necessary, how many people need to know what, and to what degree of proficiency. Furthermore, they should analyze which competencies will no longer be necessary or in high demand. This will show how many employees will have to shift towards other skills or even jobs. ## Communicating properly Companies (or, better said, internal communication teams) know very well the best ways of disseminating the corporate message. That, however, does not stop them from doing poorly when it’s delicate subjects such as right-skilling, especially at a time when people are already worried many other things. Consequently, it's paramount to properly inform employees of what the company is doing and why. The company should only make promises if they're certain that they can keep them. ## Getting L&D on board If the internal communication team has a crucial role in getting the message across, the training team will design and deploy effective right-skilling programs. While the executives make most decisions, the carrying out part is in the capable hands of instructional designers and training facilitators. As a result, they should be included in meetings, know how long the change process will take, and most importantly, understand what the objectives and KPIs are. ## Learning must become varied and flexible This idea has been on the table for some time and it has lately become more of a necessity than a trend. With an increasingly diverse workforce (both geographically and generationally), there’s a growing need for diversity in training styles, formats, and ways of delivering learning. The training offer must be as varied and complex as the skill gaps that will need to be closed. For example, rather than relying on one tool, having a diverse library open to employees and easily accessible on any device is the way to go. It’s also a good idea to advocate self-direction and informal learning within the organization. ## Video and gamification should take center stage Videos are very much in. If you don’t believe that, just check out some of the current statistics for [YouTube](https://blog.hootsuite.com/youtube-stats-marketers/) or [TikTok](https://www.oberlo.com/blog/tiktok-statistics)). They are also a preferred learning medium for Gen Z-ers. The younger employees grew up in an era with online games and widespread internet connectivity. As a result, L&D specialists should harness the potential these two generational favorites have when it comes to effective learning and re-skilling. Combining these with the latest trends in VR and AR can only lead to positive results for the organization. ## Content curation must be brought to the next level For a long time, curation was mostly negotiating contracts with learning providers and taking time once in a while to weed out obsolete courses. In the current situation, curation must become a much more dynamic and complex process. With a growing need for diverse and fresh content, keeping the learning library well-stacked and the materials constantly updated is an ongoing job. Markets are constantly evolving, organizations do so along with them, and it falls in the care of the learning specialists to make sure that employees have the tools and information they need to grow their careers. ## Wrapping up Right-skilling employees is more than making sure they learn something new and become more efficient in their work or move on to a new career. In the current volatile environment, right-skilling is the only way to ensure that businesses close learning gaps and employees feel more secure their future.

URC has been operating for over 50 years, and they were founded by Mr. John Gokongwei, Jr. With their initiative to embrace digital transformation, they aim to continue to grow and provide good food choices to their consumers. “The first time I took online training in CYPHER, I knew what I needed.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Difficulty in managing and standardizing training materials across various locations - Lack of a comprehensive learning solution to implement a standardized learning approach for all relevant topics across different countries - Employees didn't have easy access courses or recognition tied to learning These challenges included submitting and retaining training materials in hard copies, submitting documents for reviews and approval, finding the best training provider, securing venues, and other logistical requirements. We know that learning technologies can facilitate the consistency of these processes by implementing one learning approach for all relevant topics in all countries. This means our course delivery and design will follow one standard method through a learning management system (LMS). ## The solution After a series of system testing, we decided to try CYPHER Learning® because we believe it can help us accelerate the learning process through easy access to courses targeted to employee competencies and development plans. We can also provide the best employee experience through a digital and intuitive e-learning platform, and lastly, increase engagement by integrating rewards and recognitions with learning and development. ### Implementation URC partnered with CYPHER Learning in June 2019 to implement our LMS, URLearning. The implementation stage started in October 2020 through face-to-face and virtual road shows. We released our 15-week URC university virtual learning plan during the first lockdown through URLearning. The objective was to help our employees cope with their uncertainties and realities that require learning new skills with different learning content which they can freely and easily access anytime, anywhere through our digital platform. With this learning initiative, URC reported a significant increase in the number of user accounts created since January luding catalogs and mandatory, agile digital lessons, productivity, and workplace essentials. ### User engagement Paul Constantino, Officer, Agile COE and Talent Management: Overall, CYPHER is pretty straightforward to use. It provides what the user needs from its most recent dashboard update, where you can easily navigate through the things you want to do. May Reyes, Manager, Technical Training: It is my first time creating online courses, and I'm not so techy, but the fact that I created courses in CYPHER on my own says a lot it being easy to use. It can also serve as a repository of our largely undocumented knowledge. It can be a library for those who want to do their learning at their own pace, on their own time. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, Group Accounting Manager: The first time I took online training in CYPHER, I knew what I needed. It has a fantastic layout. The lessons are easy to navigate by categories and topics. It was tremendously clear, so I didn't waste time searching for whatever I wanted to study. ### Features Paul Constantino, Officer, Agile COE and Talent Management: The learning path feature for me is the best one because, as an instructor, I like to ensure that learners engage well with the modules. So there's flexibility on whether you want the learners to automatically proceed to the next module or add a checkpoint before proceeding. Since the learning path I created involves a mixed learning approach in LMS and scheduled workshops, there's this holistic experience when learning the entire course. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, Group Accounting Manager: What I like is that I can post a review after finishing each course, and I can refer others. I also like having access to all the previous modules I studied and review them anytime. Alyanna Manapil, Associate, Human Resources: For me, one of the most valuable features is the custom report. We need to see how many users we have, which business units they are from, and how many courses they enroll in and complete in our system. This feature allows us to customize and filter the information we need before even downloading the report from the system. With that, the downloaded report only has the information we plan to use. Another feature that I value is gamification. We have a company-wide leaderboard where we announce the top 20 placers at the end of the year. It allows us to make learning a little bit more fun by creating friendly competition. “Overall, CYPHER is pretty straightforward to use. It provides what the user needs from its most recent dashboard update, where you can easily navigate through the things you want to do.” Paul Constantino, Officer, Agile COE and Talent Management ## The results - 68% increase in user accounts since January 2020 - Course enrollments surged from 108 to 3,350 after four months - Over 600 active internally curated modules available - 21.41 average training hours per employee achieved - 65% increase in accounts created as of December 2021 - 81% of URLearning's subscription plan limit accessed and completed courses Our growth and talent commitment achieved an average of 21.41 training hours per employee across the organization through our capability development programs. Specific to digital learning, we continue to offer functional training courses through the online platform and virtual instructor-led training. We have seen a significant increase in the number of accounts created as of December 2021, which is at 65% compared to the previous year. “81% of URLearning's subscription plan limit have accessed and completed courses on the platform. The data shows the impact of URLearning on the growth and development of our employees.” Carla Mabugay, Human Resources - Learning and Development Head ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Foi assim que a aprendizagem personalizada se tornou a chave para cada nova abordagem de aprendizagem e ensino. A aprendizagem personalizada é criada para todos os alunos, independentemente do nível acadêmico ou da idade, ajudando-os a alcançar seu potencial, despertando sua motivação interna e impulso pessoal e desenvolvendo todas as habilidades necessárias para dominar a resolução de problemas e tomar as rédeas da sua própria aprendizagem. A aprendizagem personalizada dá aos alunos a responsabilidade pelo seu processo de aprendizagem, incentivando-os a controlar e se apropriar de sua própria educação, oferecendo flexibilidade e assimilação individualizada de conteúdo acadêmico ao longo do processo. ## Cinco elementos-chave da aprendizagem personalizada Uma pesquisa da [Alliance for Excellent Education concluiu que](https://all4ed.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Personalized-Learning-Infographic.pdf) 79% dos pais e 73% dos professores não concordam com a abordagem de tamanho único à educação que as escolas ainda têm hoje em dia. Devido a evidências claras de melhorias nos resultados de testes de matemática e leitura em escolas que mudaram sua abordagem para a aprendizagem personalizada, 71% dos pais e 77% dos professores se sentiriam confortáveis com a mudança. Existem alguns exemplos de escolas que seguem uma abordagem personalizada à educação, mas tiveram que adaptá-la às suas circunstâncias específicas. Aqui estão alguns exemplos: - **Abordagem com base em competências**, em que os alunos progridem em seu próprio ritmo, dominando conceitos-chave em vez de aprenderem estritamente em sala de aula. - **Abordagem interdisciplinar direcionada ao aluno**, através de projetos com o objetivo de desenvolver o pensamento crítico e a colaboração. - Uma **mistura das duas abordagens** mencionadas acima, segundo um conteúdo acadêmico rigoroso e a aprendizagem baseada no trabalho. - Uma **abordagem centrada no aluno** usando dados personalizados para identificar lacunas no conhecimento e possibilitar uma aprendizagem mais autônoma. A base comum de todas as abordagens de aprendizagem personalizada é a relação entre professor e aluno solidificada na confiança, que ajuda os alunos a progredir em seu próprio ritmo, refletindo sobre seus pontos fortes e fracos, e a flexibilidade e aplicabilidade do processo de aprendizagem na vida real. Existem cinco elementos-chave da aprendizagem personalizada, cada um de grande importância individualmente, mas de valor ainda maior como parte da abordagem como um todo. 1. ### Iniciativa do aluno Propriedade, iniciativa ou controle são as palavras usadas para se referir à ação de os alunos assumirem a responsabilidade pela própria aprendizagem. Ao fazerem isso, eles tornam-se conscientes de seus pontos fortes e fracos e podem subir de nível de ensino nas habilidades dominadas, mas também reforçar as habilidades que ainda não têm. Iniciativa significa que os alunos estão no controle e são participantes ativos em seu próprio processo de aprendizagem, e é por isso que o conhecimento é mais bem assimilado, de acordo com teóricos como [Piaget](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Piaget) e [Dewey](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey). Os professores simplesmente facilitam a aquisição do conteúdo, enquanto os alunos o internalizam e também o possuem. Fornecer espaços para os alunos se expressarem, como blogs, comunidades on-line seguras no LMS ou o uso de ferramentas de tecnologia com as quais eles estão tão familiarizados para criar seu próprio conteúdo, diários de fotos e vídeos, e também para que eles deixem e recebam feedback para/de colegas resulta em melhores níveis de êxito pessoal, maior participação nas aulas, melhor preparação e autoconhecimento, bem como na diminuição de problemas comportamentais. 2. ### Ambientes de aprendizagem flexíveis Infelizmente, a instrução ainda é ministrada em ambientes de aprendizagem tradicionais, com fileiras de carteiras e alunos normalmente voltados para a frente, o que é conhecido por dificultar o processo de aprendizagem. Porém, em ambientes de aprendizagem flexíveis, os alunos têm mais controle sobre como eles aprendem, devido a uma disposição de assentos mais flexível e não convencional que atende às necessidades dos alunos e na qual o professor figura mais como facilitador do que como instrutor. Mesas e cadeiras clássicas são substituídas por diferentes peças de mobiliário que podem ser adquiridas com fornecedores consolidados, compradas em lojas de artigos usados ou recebidas como doações. Projetar esse espaço com locais para trabalho individual, trabalho colaborativo e para debates e miniaulas dá confiança aos alunos e leva a melhores resultados acadêmicos, melhor interação com os colegas e menos tédio entre os alunos. 3. ### Domínio individual No centro da aprendizagem personalizada está o aluno e suas necessidades. Em uma época em que os alunos precisam conciliar a vida familiar e profissional com a educação, escolas e plataformas focadas no domínio individual, e não em ensinar para passar nas provas, são cada vez mais necessárias. Com módulos independentes projetados como parte de um objetivo de aprendizagem maior, os alunos podem se concentrar em dominar as habilidades, independentemente do tempo, local ou ritmo de aprendizagem permitido para explorar seu potencial. Para isso, os professores precisam oferecer apoio e orientação individualizados, e os alunos precisam de automotivação, determinação, perseverança e iniciativa. O conceito de maestria individual ajuda a construir uma base sólida para a educação que eleva seus níveis naturalmente e na qual a única variável é o tempo necessário para os alunos dominarem uma habilidade. 4. ### Trilhas de aprendizagem pessoais A aprendizagem personalizada envolve o ajuste da instrução ao ritmo de aprendizagem dos alunos para acompanhar a aprendizagem a longo prazo. Isso não é mais um problema, graças aos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem que ajudam os educadores a criar aulas, avaliar os alunos e adicionar trilhas de aprendizagem individualizadas. Um LMS fornece as ferramentas necessárias para que os professores atendam às necessidades dos alunos, personalizando as metas dentro dessas trilhas e criando um ambiente de aprendizagem virtual flexível. Os LMSs também dão aos alunos iniciativa sobre sua própria aprendizagem e permitem que eles se tornem proativos, tendo acesso a ferramentas de autoavaliação, como questionários e pesquisas com feedback instantâneo, bem como um espaço para se expressar e acompanhar seu progresso. As trilhas personalizadas adaptam-se a vários estilos de aprendizagem e se concentram em como os alunos experimentam o processo, oferecendo módulos personalizáveis para responder às necessidades individuais de aprendizagem.

Perfis de alunos individuais fornecem insights poderosos sobre o progresso, tanto para os professores quanto para os alunos. Ao analisarem o progresso dos alunos, os professores podem criar conteúdo personalizado, atribuir metas individuais e fornecer feedback personalizado, enquanto os alunos podem desenvolver seus pontos fortes, superar seus pontos fracos e seguir seus próprios objetivos e interesses. Os LMSs também permitem que os alunos participem dos mesmos grupos de interesse e aprimorem seus conhecimentos. Eles até mesmo permitem que os professores atribuam trabalhos às equipes com base nos interesses comuns dos alunos ou atribuam trabalhos para as quais eles possam solicitar avaliações por parte dos colegas. Isso dá aos alunos uma visão mais clara de seu progresso e incentiva o domínio individual. ## Conclusão A aprendizagem personalizada permite uma parceria entre professor e aluno na qual os alunos têm um papel na tomada de decisões. Professores e alunos projetam em conjunto o currículo e a avaliação. Os professores fornecem um cardápio de opções, enquanto os alunos identificam formas de aprendizagem adequadas às suas necessidades. Os professores ajudam a planejar estratégias de aprendizagem para atender às necessidades dos alunos, e os alunos escolhem temas de acordo com seus interesses e maneiras de mostrar seu conhecimento. A aprendizagem personalizada gira em torno dos alunos, permitindo que eles organizem sua aprendizagem de acordo com seu próprio tempo, lugar e ritmo. Os alunos cultivam uma mentalidade de crescimento, tomando iniciativa sobre sua própria educação com perseverança e determinação. Ao oferecer oportunidades iguais para o desenvolvimento dos alunos, esse tipo de abordagem promove uma sociedade em contínuo progresso que valoriza a equidade, que deve ser a definição de sucesso. [K-20 blog](/pt-br/blog/k-20) [Professores](https://www.cypherlearning.com/pt-br/blog/k-20/tag/professores) --- ## AI readiness - Integrator article **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-readiness/integrator-article **Last Modified:** 2025-10-02 AI readiness / Integrator # CYPHER is the AI-powered LMS for every stage of the AI roadmap Figuring out how to get the most out of AI in L&D without sacrificing content quality, learner needs, or administrative oversight requires planning. And deciding which platform to use to introduce AI can feel daunting. But the benefits of doing it right far outweigh any challenges. Whether you’re just starting out with AI and are taking baby steps, or you’re already well underway and want to get an LMS that’s up to your level, CYPHER Learning is the AI-powered learning platform you need. Our fully integrated AI, CYPHER Agent, meets you where you are and helps you take the next steps with confidence. ## If you’re ready for an LMS that fully integrates AI A lot of LMS vendors are talking big AI, but aren’t really delivering any kind of cohesive approach that fully integrates AI throughout the learning workflows. It’s time to realize the transformative promise of AI in learning with a solution that has anticipated the change and is ready to deliver. You want AI to be accessible to every user, at every touch point. CYPHER can help. ## How CYPHER helps Fully embedded AI CYPHER Agent is fully embedded in the CYPHER platform and is tightly and naturally integrated into the learning workflows. While you don’t have to make it a part of every learning program, there are no siloes between what can and cannot be AI enabled. CYPHER Agent is always ready to assist admins, learners, and soon managers and instructors, wherever they are in the learning process. Personalized learning CYPHER Agent for learners complements and augments your development strategy to close skill gaps in real time—boosting satisfaction, completions, and engagement beyond one-size-fits-all courses. Learners get accurate, enterprise-safe AI assistance that protects your IP while meeting their unique and immediate needs. This is no ChatGPT wall of text - this is learning carefully structured to support best practices in learning, completely personalized. High quality course creation Many platforms offer AI content generation, but only CYPHER Agent offers step-by-step course creation. What this means is that you can create a course (or just parts of it), and inspect the results at every step. For example, start by using Agent to create a course outline. You may choose to add or remove items and then have the AI generate the content, followed by adding quizzes, gamification, and more, reviewed and tweaked at every step. Content accuracy We’ve carefully configured CYPHER Agent to reduce risk of bias, hallucinations or inaccuracies, but we’ve also added a safeguard–AI Crosscheck. Any content generated by CYPHER Agent is crosschecked by another independent AI system that flags any hallucinations or inaccuracies for the user. No other AI content creation tool does this and it increases the validity of the content exponentially. Privacy Our relationship with our AI providers guarantees that the proprietary material that you use to build courses and your interactions with the solution will never be used to train the model or leave your CYPHER instance. The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. ### Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within the CYPHER platform. You can set which topics or subject areas are off limits and you can monitor which prompts are being used and by whom to confirm that the solution is being used appropriately. Here are a couple of quick, safe AI wins you can get with CYPHER: - Increase the frequency with which you update internal courses by fully automating the creation. - Give subject matter experts access to create the courses based on their content (like compliance or policy documents). - Offer CYPHER Agent to learners to support learning beyond traditional courses. - Enrich your skills profiles on learners and courses and encourage learners to close skills gaps with the learner agent in addition to courses. ## See how it works Create a course Support your learners Improve skills development You can start exploring AI without sacrificing the learning management support that you need to manage your programs–onboarding, compliance training, skills development, and more. CYPHER Learning is an award-winning LMS that empowers you to streamline your administrative work with robust automation, flexible content support, and personalizable learning paths.

On paper, many platforms seem similar—promising features, intuitive interfaces, and engaging learning experiences.  In practice, the results often vary. Some systems deliver on their promises, while others leave educators, trainers, and administrators dealing with awkward workflows, limited flexibility, and learners who quickly lose interest. This [LMS features](https://www.cypherlearning.com/platform) comparison takes a closer look at what truly makes a platform effective. By breaking down the features that matter most, you'll find a clear path to finding a system that fits your organization’s goals. ## Core LMS features for every organization When comparing LMS platforms, there’s a baseline set of features that every modern solution should offer. Identifying the most important LMS features ensures that the platform aligns with your organization’s needs. Without these, a platform could hold your team back, or be a less effective option for your intended workflow. At a minimum, your LMS should include: - Course creation and [content delivery](https://www.cypherlearning.com/content#option_2): A flexible system to easily build courses and organize content in unique, engaging formats. - **User management:**Tools to assign roles, manage access, and support different user types (learners, instructors, admins). - **Mobile learning:** A responsive or dedicated mobile app for on-the-go access and 24/7 learning opportunities for different work setups. - **Reporting and analytics:** Insights into learner progress, completion rates, and engagement throughout each course or learning pathway. - **Assessments and certifications:**Built-in quizzes, tests, and auto-issued certificates to evaluate knowledge and recognize completion. - **Compliance tracking:**Features to manage required training or certifications for regulatory needs. When evaluating options, always compare LMS features with a focus on what matters most to your organization and your specific use case. 💡 CYPHER Learning checks all these boxes. See it in action! ## Where (and why) many LMS platforms fall short While most LMS platforms offer the basics, users often encounter frustrating limitations that impact adoption, efficiency, and learning outcomes. Some of these common challenges include: - **Outdated, tedious interfaces that make navigation confusing or uninviting.** A user-friendly interface makes all the difference in accomplishing your biggest learning goals quickly. - **Minimal automation**, requiring tedious manual work for enrollments, reminders, or course sequencing. - **Lack of personalization**, resulting in one-size-fits-all learning paths instead of leveraging personalized learning paths that tailor training experiences to individual needs. - Limited integrations that silo learning from other business systems, underscoring the importance of compatibility with existing tools and [strong integration capabilities](https://www.cypherlearning.com/marketplace) to improve workflows and data accuracy. These limitations can squash productivity and hold your teams or organization back from scalable growth. ## The CYPHER advantage: Next-gen LMS features CYPHER is different from most LMS platforms because it’s built for organizations with a wide range of training needs and training objectives. Choosing the best learning management system isn’t just ticking off a features list; it's finding a platform that truly supports your goals and the way your team learns.  CYPHER was created with this in mind, removing common frustrations and replacing them with tools that actually work and deliver a dynamic learning experience. It’s not just another LMS. CYPHER is a smart, all-in-one learning environment designed to adapt to your needs and help you reach your training goals. ### AI-powered learning paths At CYPHER, AI is that foundation of a smarter, more connected learning experience.

That includes HR tools, CRM platforms, content libraries, webinar and live training tools like Microsoft Teams, and more—with robust APIs and pre-built integrations. ## A check-in on compliance training For many organizations, compliance training is a critical part of daily operations. The right LMS can make this process far less overwhelming by acting as a central hub for all [compliance training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance), mandatory courses, and related programs.  Instead of juggling spreadsheets or manual reminders, you can assign, track, and report on training courses from one place, ensuring every employee has completed the required courses and stays current with regulations. When your compliance training is powered by the right LMS software, your organization stays aligned with regulatory requirements, your team can access materials anytime, and you foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. 👉 Read more: [Compliance training for modern organizations](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/key-compliance-training-requirements-for-modern-organizations) ## Blended learning and practical skills to support modern education [Blended learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/blended-learning) has quickly become a go-to approach for modern training programs. It combines the convenience of online courses with the hands-on experience of offline learning and on-the-job training. With the right learning management system, you can easily bring these elements together—accessing training materials, managing both virtual and in-person sessions, and tracking learner progress all in one place. Many learning management systems now offer advanced course management features, enabling organizations to design training programs that cater to diverse learning needs.  [Social learning tools](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/human-connection), such as discussion forums and collaborative projects, further enhance learner engagement and foster a sense of community—even in remote or hybrid environments. Offline learning capabilities ensure that practical skills can be developed and assessed, regardless of internet connectivity. By embracing blended learning through a modern management system, organizations can deliver training that not only meets compliance and knowledge objectives but also drives real-world skills development. This approach is especially valuable in industries where practical, on the job training is essential to achieving strong training outcomes and supporting continuous learning. ## Security matters: LMS data protection and privacy When choosing a learning management system, [security and privacy aren’t optional](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/support-security-privacy). Training programs often contain sensitive information, from personal learner details to proprietary training materials, so it’s important to work with LMS vendors that take data protection seriously. Look for advanced security features such as data encryption, granular access controls, and regular security updates to safeguard your information. It’s also important that LMS vendors  adhere to industry-leading compliance standards, like GDPR and SOC 2, ensuring your organization meets both legal and ethical standards. Don’t forget backup and recovery features, either. These ensure your training materials and learner records are protected against unexpected issues, helping you maintain program continuity. By selecting LMS software with strong security measures, you not only protect your organization but also earn the trust of your learners. ## CYPHER Learning = Your complete LMS solution CYPHER is thoughtfully designed to support organizations at every stage of growth. - Built for education, corporate, and training companies alike. - Scales with your needs, from small teams to global enterprises. - Supports over 50 languages with international data compliance. - Flexible architecture that adapts to how you teach or train. - Facilitates employee training, development programs, and training initiatives to drive engagement, skill acquisition, and compliance. - Comprehensive training management capabilities for scheduling, logistics, and administration. - Extensive support for organizations as they expand and evolve.

28, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 2 minutes read Mid-size companies face intense competition and rapidly changing markets. To stay competitive, they must prioritize modern training software that enhances workforce skills, boosts efficiency, and drives business growth. Conventional training methods no longer meet these demands. Platforms like CYPHER Learning provide innovative solutions that unlock employee potential and deliver measurable results. ## The digital training imperative for mid-size businesses Mid-size companies sit between agile startups and resource-rich enterprises.

El nuevo informe, **"De habilidades al éxito: perspectivas sobre L&D para la fuerza laboral moderna"**, detalla los hallazgos de una encuesta realizada a 4,500 trabajadores en México, EE. UU y Reino Unido dentro de organizaciones con más de 500 empleados*. La investigación sugiere que la calidad de la L&D tiene un impacto directo en el sentimiento de los empleados hacia su empleador y su propensión a cambiar de empleo, especialmente entre los jóvenes, y que la capacitación es fundamental para retener el talento y satisfacer las expectativas de crecimiento y felicidad en el trabajo. A pesar de que la mayoría de las empresas se esfuerzan por ser meritocráticas y promover a aquellos con las habilidades laborales adecuadas de manera justa, muchos empleados sienten que esto no se cumple en la práctica: el 66% de los mexicanos afirma que, en su trabajo, las promociones se basan en la popularidad de las personas y no en las habilidades o competencias laborales adecuadas. El 70% presenció promociones injustas y el 54% cree que socializar más con su gerente aumenta las posibilidades de ascenso. **La inteligencia emocional, el liderazgo, la escucha y el trabajo en equipo son las principales habilidades en las que los trabajadores sienten que los gerentes deberían enfocarse para mejorar la satisfacción de los empleados.**El 81% de los trabajadores cree que el éxito laboral depende de tener un gerente expresivo, atento y preparado para impulsar su carrera. La edad, la introversión, la neurodiversidad, la paternidad y tener un gerente poco comprometido son las barreras actuales que enfrentan en su desarrollo profesional. El 58% de los trabajadores de entre 18 y 24 años se sienten poco preparados por su educación secundaria o universitaria para ingresar al mercado laboral. *“Una fuerza laboral que se siente valorada, inspirada y reforzada vale oro”*, comenta Graham Glass, fundador y CEO de CYPHER Learning, y agrega: *“Al crear una cultura continua de aprendizaje, a través de un programa estructurado de L&D, los empleados reciben las herramientas para mejorar su potencial. Vemos que los trabajadores ansían capacitación constante, en el momento adecuado, de la manera correcta, que sea relevante para ellos… y hoy es totalmente alcanzable. Con una nueva generación de L&D capacitada para utilizar IA, el aprendizaje personalizado a escala es una realidad”.* En comparación con los trabajadores en EE. UU. o Reino Unido, los empleados mexicanos valoran más la capacitación que reciben, considerándola beneficiosa para sus objetivos profesionales. Sin embargo, el 93% de los trabajadores considera que avanzarían más rápido con un programa estructurado de aprendizaje, enfocado en liderazgo, resolución de problemas, gestión del tiempo e inteligencia emocional.

Employees expect engaging, impactful learning experiences that enrich their personal knowledge and offer quick career momentum. Companies that embrace continuous development aren’t just keeping up with what’s popular—they’re leading the charge by increasing innovation, sharpening skills, and driving productivity. Yet, many outdated training approaches fall short, leaving businesses in need of more agile solutions. Selecting the right employee training software is crucial as it can transform internal processes and make learning more engaging and effective. In this post, we’ll explore the significance of modern employee training tools, cover how to select the best options, and highlight future trends that will shape corporate learning solutions moving forward. ## What are employee training tools? Employee training tools are technologies, platforms, and solutions designed to improve learning and development for corporate employees. From interactive eLearning platforms to mobile learning apps and software, these tools make training more accessible, engaging, and personal. By offering a more innovative approach to corporate education, businesses can empower their workforce to adapt to new challenges, stay compliant with regulations, and excel professionally. ### What is employee training and development? Employee training and development is the systematic process of enhancing the skills, knowledge, and abilities of employees to boost performance, productivity, and overall contribution to the organization. The development process encompasses a variety of activities, including structured training programs, interactive workshops, personalized coaching, mentoring sessions, and online learning modules. Training initiatives are designed to equip employees with the necessary competencies to excel in their roles and adapt to evolving job requirements. Diverse training programs help ensure that the workforce is skilled, motivated, and ready to tackle new challenges. ### Why is employee training so valuable? Employee training and development are pivotal to the success and growth of any organization. Effective training programs help improve employee performance by providing them with the skills and knowledge needed to perform their tasks efficiently. This, in turn, leads to increased productivity and enhanced job satisfaction, as employees feel more competent and confident in their roles. “Failing to invest in and incentivizing meaningful employee education has real consequences,” says [Jonathan Rhyne, CEO at Nutrient](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/forgotten-opportunity-why-employee-education-should-every-rhyne-nnkpe/?trackingId=owarijDxQpuwXF2GJ0qBpA%3D%3D). These consequences, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence, include a detrimental skills gap between that latest technology and tangible skills that employees bring to their everyday work. In addition to conquering this skills gap, well-structured training initiatives reduce turnover rates by fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth. As employees adapt to new technologies and industry trends, organizations remain competitive and innovative. **Ultimately, investing in employee training and development translates to improved customer satisfaction, increased revenue, and better decision-making across the board**. ## Types of employee training tools There are many employee training tools available, making it easy for companies to find the right fit for their needs. While some platforms overlap in features, they generally fall into these main categories: ### Learning management systems (LMS) [Learning management systems](/blog/business/navigating-the-best-enterprise-lms-platforms-for-optimal-learning) enable employees to access courses, tutorials, and assessments in a cloud-based or online environment. For example, [CYPHER Learning](/) empowers organizations to create personalized learning pathways, integrate gamification, and deploy AI-powered course creation for scalable training. ### Mobile learning applications Training on the go? Mobile apps provide employees with access to materials anytime, anywhere. These tools are perfect for remote workers or companies with a workforce constantly on the move. ### Gamification platforms [Gamified training tools](/tour/gamification) transform learning into an engaging and entertaining experience. By offering points, leaderboards, and badges, gamification fosters healthy competition and motivates employees to achieve learning goals. ### Blended learning management systems (LMS) Blending the best of online tools and in-person training, these systems optimize employee development by offering scalable, customizable, and accessible training courses. They are ideal for organizations that prioritize a mix of autonomy and collaboration. Unlock the best of both worlds with a [blended learning model](/solutions/blended-learning) with CYPHER. ## Benefits of adopting employee training tools in your organization Investing in a comprehensive training program and employee training tools yields tangible and long-term benefits. Not only do these perks impact revenue and enterprise growth, they also yield personal results for the employees (or “students”) who engage in them. ### Boosted employee and corporate engagement Interactive and gamified tools keep employees motivated to participate in training programs. Solutions like CYPHER engage learners with community-based, social learning and gamification, turning training into a rewarding experience. ### Personalized learning Not all employees learn in the same manner, or at the same speed. With AI-powered tools, [personalized learning paths](/tour/skills-development) can be created to meet each employee's unique needs and goals. *A learner-centric approach from CYPHER replaces the traditional and outdated method of learning based on groups and categories. The better option is to focus on precise skills mastery, which varies by individual.* ### Cost-effective training scenarios Traditional training can feel like a logistical headache, with costs piling up from travel, printed materials, and in-person sessions. Modern training tools flip the script with scalable online solutions that cut expenses and simplify the process. Instead of juggling schedules and budgets, businesses can focus on what matters—equipping employees with the skills they need to charge ahead. ### Real-time tracking and feedback loops Imagine being able to see exactly where employees are excelling and where they might need a little extra help—right in the moment. That’s the beauty of training tools with real-time tracking and analytics. Admins can monitor progress, spot skill gaps, and offer immediate feedback to keep learners on track. It’s like having a personalized coaching system, but with the efficiency and precision of advanced technology. ### Compliance and skill-building Keeping up with [compliance requirements or certifications](/solutions/compliance) doesn’t have to be a chore. Training tools streamline the process with automated reminders and targeted learning sessions that keep employees up to date. And while compliance is critical, these tools also empower teams to build new skills, making them more versatile and ready for the challenges ahead. It’s a win-win for everyone. ## Must-have features in your employee training software When selecting employee training software, it’s essential to consider the following key features to ensure that it meets the needs of both managers and employees. ### User-friendly interface and features A user-friendly interface is critical for employee training software, as it enables employees to easily navigate and access training materials without frustration. Look for tools that pack an intuitive design, clear instructions, and minimal technical requirements. A user-friendly interface ensures that employees can focus on the actual learning experience rather than struggling with the software. ### Content creation and management The best employee training software allows for easy content creation and management. Look for software that offers a range of formats, such as videos, quizzes, and written modules, to keep the material engaging and adaptable to different learning styles. Additionally, consider software that enables managers to create, edit, and update content quickly and efficiently. This flexibility ensures that training materials remain relevant and up-to-date, providing employees with the best possible learning experience. ### Robust options for user management User management features are a must-have for employee training software. They make it easy for managers to assign the right courses to the right people—whether it’s based on their roles, departments, or skill levels. Plus, these tools help keep tabs on progress, track completion rates, and ensure everyone has access to the resources they need to succeed.

Define your team’s unique training goals Are you focusing on compliance training, onboarding, or workplace training for soft skills? Knowing your objectives will help narrow down your options. ### 2. Consider the future—what’s next? A tool should grow with your organization. Platforms like CYPHER Learning accommodate enterprise businesses by offering scalable, automated, and tailored solutions. ### 3. Prioritize the user experience Focus on tools with intuitive interfaces for both employees and admins. The simpler the tool is to use, the higher engagement you'll see. ### 4. Evaluate integration capabilities Your chosen tool should integrate seamlessly with existing systems like HR platforms or communication tools, such as Slack or Microsoft Teams. ### 5. Leverage more advanced technical features AI capabilities, gamification, and social learning features can elevate training impact and make learning exciting again. ### 6. Test out experiences and ask for feedback Before committing, trial different platforms and gather feedback from employees to ensure they align with learner preferences. ## Inspiration for real-world success Looking for ways to transform your employee training programs? The following ideas highlight how to leverage CYPHER for impressive results. ### Use case idea 1: AI in corporate development Imagine a multinational retail chain supercharging its team development program with CYPHER. By tapping into the platform’s AI-powered course creation and seamless automation, they didn’t just cut training times by 40%—they made learning more engaging than ever, boosting employee participation by 50%. This is the future of corporate training: smarter, faster, and more impactful. ### Use case idea 2: Remote worker training through a modern mobile app Picture this: a fast-growing tech startup equips its remote workforce with mobile-first training tools from CYPHER. Employees can dive into training modules on their own schedules, whether they’re working from or on the go. The result? A 30% jump in task efficiency and a team that’s more confident, connected, and ready to tackle challenges. ### Use case idea 3: Gamification to drive sales team success What happens when a global sales organization gamifies its training program using CYPHER and modern LMS features? Leaderboards, badges, and incentives turn learning into a friendly competition, driving training participation up by an incredible 75%. The payoff includes a more motivated salesforce and a 20% increase in revenue within just six months. While these are hypothetical numbers and results, it’s a good way to dream up how your team could perform under a similar learning scenario. ## Looking ahead at future trends in employee training The world of corporate learning is constantly evolving. Here are the trends poised to transform employee training tools: ### AI-powered, personalized learning AI will play a significant role in tailoring course content to individual learning styles, making training more impactful. CYPHER features like generative AI and AI Crosscheck already exemplify this future. ### Microlearning Bite-sized lessons delivered in short, focused sessions will become the norm to cater to busy professionals with shorter attention spans. ### Expansion into augmented or virtual reality Augmented and Virtual Reality technologies will redefine high-skill or high-safety training practices with deeper immersion. ### Enhanced social learning through collaboration Companies will invest in collaborative experiences, making training tools a hub for discussions, shared tasks, and team-based learning. ### Employee wellness programs Future tools will seamlessly incorporate mental health and wellness into an organization's training strategies. ## Adopt learning tools to inspire more growth Organizations that prioritize employee training set themselves apart by fostering innovation, improving productivity, and adapting to changes.

As a top LMS choice for schools, [colleges, and universities](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/higher-ed-lms), thousands of instructors and learners use Canvas to implement education and training programs. With personalized curriculum, Canvas is a user-friendly choice for remote or hybrid classes. Even with its widespread popularity, Canvas isn’t always the perfect fit for every institution because it can fall short in offering the deep customization or specialized tools needed for unique programs or industry-specific training. And while Canvas is capable of handling corporate learning, the platform is built primarily for schools and universities. To get the best results possible out of your LMS, it’s crucial to choose a solution that’s tailored to your specific needs. In this article, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the top Canvas LMS alternatives. We walk through features, price, and customer reviews to help you hone in on the best option for your learners.

A [learning management system](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lms) (LMS) is a powerful software application that facilitates the creation, management, and delivery of online courses and training programs. It serves as a centralized platform where instructors can develop and organize course materials, track student progress, and evaluate performance. For learners, an LMS provides easy access to course content, assignment submission, and interaction with instructors and peers. The primary goal of an LMS is to enhance the online learning experience, making education more accessible and efficient. Whether you’re an educational institution or a corporate organization, an LMS can streamline your course management and improve learning outcomes. ## Why consider Canvas alternatives? While [Canvas](https://www.instructure.com/canvas) is widely used in education, it may have its drawbacks. Some educational institutions and businesses might find that Canvas lacks certain advanced features or customization options that are crucial for their specific needs, such as robust integration with industry-specific software or advanced analytics for tracking student engagement in niche training programs. Additionally, budget constraints or scalability requirements might prompt the search for a more suitable LMS. Exploring Canvas alternatives allows institutions to find a platform that aligns better with their unique requirements, ensuring a tailored and effective online learning experience.

Are you looking for rich customization abilities, or deep analytics? Or perhaps a simple user interface is most important to you right now? Define your top needs and then look for an LMS that can meet them. ### Consider scalability for future growth Your organization is in one place right now. But you aren’t going to stay there forever. Pick an LMS with a forward-thinking focus, looking for a platform that can grow with you as you add more students or increase the complexity of your courses. ### Ensure mobile compatibility and integration options Whether they’re college kids or corporate learners, today’s students are on-the-go. Choose an LMS that gives them the ability to access their education from wherever they want. And by looking at the platform’s available integrations before you buy, you’ll also ensure added efficiency and less headaches for you. ## Quick tips for successful implementation ### Map your learning objectives and course creation Before diving into a new solution, take some time to clearly define your organization’s training goals. Maybe you hope to improve engagement; streamline your processes; or scale content delivery. Whatever the case, make sure you align these objectives with the key features of your chosen LMS to boost ROI and ensure a perfect fit. ### Leverage integrations, customization, and advanced features Create seamless workflows by connecting your new LMS with existing tools — your CRM, HR systems, or content libraries. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel if you can simply sync a new solution with familiar tools. It’s also helpful to take advantage of customization options to align the platform with your organization’s branding and user preferences. Again, this saves time, while also reinforcing your branding for learners and other users. ### Focus on boosting engagement Features like gamification, quizzes, and discussion forums can keep learners motivated and engaged — so take full advantage of these! Gamification has been linked to [a 50% improvement in student productivity](https://www.zippia.com/advice/gamification-statistics/). And 80% of U.S. workers say gamified learning experiences are more effective for them. You’ll also want to regularly refresh any courses you’ve created to keep the content relevant. Consider setting a reminder on your calendar to do this quarterly (depending on the course topic). ### Monitor with in-depth analytics Finally, as learners start using your new LMS, remember to use the platform’s reporting tools to track their progress and performance. Regularly assess the data to identify areas for improvement. Then adapt your strategy as needed. ## Discover best Canvas LMS alternatives If you’re looking for a Canvas alternative, there are plenty of platforms out there that can help you create a strong learning experience in a school or corporate environment.

Increased competition. The shift to a “work-from-anywhere” mindset. There is a long list of factors impacting businesses’ abilities to acquire and retain the talent necessary to remain competitive and achieve their growth objectives. Today’s workers are redefining their priorities when it comes to employment – and ranking right alongside money is the opportunity for growth and development. This shift runs across all demographics, from Gen Y professionals all the way to Boomers considering second careers, which poses a challenge for employers trying to boost retention. Salary increases and bonus payments are no longer the likely answer to how to keep employees happy – education, growth, and fulfillment are what drive them. But with challenge comes opportunity. Employers building strong continuing education programs are reaping the rewards in terms of employee retention, organizational productivity, and a more positive culture, to name just a few of the benefits. The right learning platform can bring this strategy to life, making it easy for trainers to develop personalized training programs that inspire and engage learners regardless of where they are in their learning journey. **Do employees value continuing education?**When choosing a career, 55% of employees consider career growth and opportunities more important than salary.

Simply directing employees to a portal containing a wildly overgrown library of PDFs and presentations won’t capture their interest and will fall flat quickly. Traditional LMSs are a step up from an assortment of PDFs, but they’re rigid and uninspiring. They don’t give trainers the flexibility they need to deliver fresh and inspiring content. They also fail to engage the learner thanks to the dry and linear fashion in which they present lessons, which doesn’t take into consideration whether the learner is absorbing the material.CYPHER is revolutionizing the way companies think continuing education. It empowers trainers to deliver effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content, and advanced analytics – all geared toward helping employees achieve mastery-level proficiency in the areas that matter most to the company and the employee. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t adapt to the learner’s progress or training needs Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure learners understand and can prove mastery-level knowledge of a given subject You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allow you to get courses up and running faster – with less people and money Rigid, static content formats that leave learners bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive engagement and retention of the subject at even the deepest level of detail Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics, empowering you to track learner progress, identify gaps in their knowledge and flag opportunities for improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut continuing education course creation to minutes - allowing you to update and disseminate information just in time Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific topics to understand what the learner knows or doesn’t know Minimal collaboration Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate peer discussions and group exercises that help unify teams, while drive understanding and mastery of a given topic ## A modern learning platform for upskilling and reskilling employees See how the CYPHER platform can help your continuing education program: ### Create reskilling courses fast #### POWERFUL COURSES With CYPHER, developing courses for a continuing education program is quick and simple.

The LTI integration enables a secure launch from within the learning environment that handles user interface integration, single sign-on to the learning application, and the passing of important context information such as course, user and results information. ## How LTI works Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard developed by 1EdTech Consortium, which allows courseware and learning tools from different vendors to be launched within a learning platform. LTI is a technical standard (not a product) for integrating learning tools within an organization's learning environment. Courses created in the CYPHER platform can be distributed into any LMS using the LTI standard. One of the things that's unique amongst mainstream LMSs is that CYPHER is not only an LTI consumer (which means LTI tools can be embedded into CYPHER) but is also an LTI provider which means courses that are created in the CYPHER platform can be distributed to any other LMS provider that uses the LTI. This makes it easy to centralize, distribute, and scale your content.

Apart from investing resources in usual business activities, employers feel the pressure of needing to implement effective employee-retention measures. These initiatives must start with training new recruits, and one method that many companies have found to be beneficial is microlearning. Microlearning is an educational method known for its direct, bite-sized characteristics, regardless of the medium of delivery. In recent years, the global academic community has utilized this in an effort to address the evolving learning styles of young students. The corporate world has also adopted microlearning for training and development initiatives directed toward employees. ## What are the benefits of microlearning? Nowadays, many things compete to catch the gradually diminishing attention span of the average human. Thus, employers around the globe have implemented microlearning for its quick delivery and reception, affordability and accessibility, as well as its potential to prompt engagement and help with learning retention. - **Quick delivery and reception**. Based on University of Innsbruck professor [Theo Hug’s 2005 paper](https://web.mit.edu/comm-forum/legacy/mit4/papers/hug.pdf), two phrases most aptly describe microlearning: “small learning units” and “short-term-focused activities.” Training materials that are formatted for microlearning can provide your workers with short, relevant content. Because of length and focus, these materials can be quick to create and distribute. The concise format considers modern attention spans and enables learners to grasp key concepts swiftly. - **Affordability and accessibility**. Microlearning may require companies to spend fewer resources to develop and update concise, targeted modules. Its accessibility is enhanced by mobile-friendly formats, which allows employees to access training anytime, anywhere. This is particularly beneficial for remote workers or on-the-go learners, as it can cause minimal disruption to their workday. - **Engagement and retention**. Employers can increase engagement with microlearning by delivering content in interactive, bite-sized formats that are easier for employees to consume and enjoy. This boost in engagement can result in better retention, as the focused, repetitive nature of microlearning helps reinforce key concepts and makes them easier to remember over time. ## Microlearning strategies and tools for new hire integration In fast-paced work settings and deskless jobs, addressing training needs is essential, particularly considering the [8.2 million vacant jobs in the United States](https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/jolts.pdf) (US) as of June 2024 according to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 2024. Explore the following microlearning strategies and tools to help onboard and train your new employees effectively. ### 1. Pick the most suitable content format Different industries may require different training content, learning styles, and outcomes for workers. Fortunately, microlearning materials or modules can take the form of various content types. These include text, video, audio, images, and games. Choose the content formats that best suit your field, company, and employees to make sure that you and your workers get the most out of your learning and development efforts. For example, marketing firms can create training modules that contain 3-minute animated videos. In this case, a marketing company can focus on one major area or topic per module (e.g., team workflow, marketing strategies, or top product lineups) and use video-editing software to produce the animations. Another example is rolling out text-based training courses and programs for employees of academic institutions. These institutions can either create their own cost-effective courses or explore the plethora of ready-to-use affordable online programs, such as [cheap online psychology degree](https://research.com/degrees/most-affordable-psychology-degree-programs-online) programs. ### 2. Create concise content Concise educational content enables efficient knowledge transfer without overwhelming employees. Breaking down topics into easily digestible components can help new hires grasp key details. Doing so enhances retention and keeps employees engaged. ### 3. Utilize Learning Management Systems (LMS) Employers can take advantage of learning management systems (LMS) to improve the production and delivery of microlearning modules for new employees. An LMS is a centralized digital platform that enables subscribers to manage, deliver, and track training content and progress. Adopting an LMS can make microlearning modules easily accessible for employees and help employers consistently update them. Different features, such as analytics and reporting, allows companies to monitor employee engagement and performance. Thus, employers are notified of achievements, employee needs, and areas for improvement both for the employees and the training modules themselves. Commonly used [LMS corporate training options](/blog/business/13-best-lms-corporate-training-options-to-boost-efficiency-and-engagement) include TalentLMS, Docebo, and Gurucan. ## Train new hires efficiently with microlearning Addressing employee needs and helping them develop professionally are more critical than ever, particularly in a landscape where workforce stability is still challenging. While the number of separations between employer and employee in the US in June ludes workers who were laid off (1.5 million) and workers who resigned from their jobs (3.3 million). By taking advantage of microlearning and [personalized corporate training programs with an LMS](/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training), companies can produce relevant, attention-grabbing training programs that not only improve new hire integration but also contribute to higher employee retention. Including microlearning in a strategic onboarding plan and execution can help reduce turnover and build a more skilled and committed workforce.

Teaching methods change, learning environments become increasingly immersive yet one thing stays constantly the same – people forget a lot of what they are taught. [Research shows](https://www.csustan.edu/sites/default/files/groups/Writing%20Program/forgetting_curve.pdf) that learners will have forgotten 75% of the information a day after it was presented and most of that occurs within the first hour. Since time seems to have shrunk, instructional designers do their best to concentrate all the relevant knowledge into small morsels. However, if the bare essential is presented and only a quarter of it has a chance of being remembered and applied, there is not much to be said for the success of corporate learning programs. ## The forgetting curve Back in 1885 [Hermann Ebbinghaus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Ebbinghaus) decided to test his own memory by trying to remember series of random syllables. What he discovered and later developed into a whole theory is that there is a forgetting curve that sees a colossal drop from 100% to under 50% within a few days. Following this initial purge of information, the curve continues to drop over time but at a slower rate. Finally, it reaches a plateau where it stops. The main factors that influence the forgetting curve are how strong a certain memory was (the level of impact it had on the brain) and the time that has passed from the initial moment to the one when the individual is trying to remember something. ## Factors that influence forgetting learned material When it comes to adult learning, many times there is the premise that they are aware of how important it is to get new information and as a result they will gladly retain any relevant material. While the assumption itself is not entirely (or at all) valid, even when the learner begins with the best intentions, a lot of what is taught will still be lost. The main factors that have a bearing on this are: - The complexity of the module — the more complicated it is, the more likely it is for it to be forgotten; - How meaningful the information seems to the participant — if it solves a problem they have, if it is linked to concepts that are already familiar; - The teaching method — interactivity and media content helps get attention and engagement; - Psychological and physiological aspects — stress or lack of sleep can be really detrimental. ## We don’t forget randomly Forgetting is natural but the good news is that it is not also random. If the brain perceives a certain piece of knowledge as being highly relevant, it will store it for later use. [Dr. Roediger’s research](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqae85jbfbE) has demonstrated that when you convince a learner to recall information the first few hours after the learning intervention takes place, they are very likely to remember it for a long period of time. In a series of experiments he has found that if people are given the opportunity to repeat and recall the material immediately after they have first covered it and in the days following it dramatically improves its retention in the long run. ## It’s a question of usefulness Our brain is designed to retain only the information it deems important. It’s actually healthy that it performs this way, keeping the items that are useful and getting rid of those that are not. This purging function can actually turn out to be useful to learning specialists who, by creating instances in which knowledge that has recently been taught is necessary to learners, convince the brain to label it as necessary and as a result keep it instead of discarding it. Scheduling booster events such as quizzes or multiple choice questionnaires right after the material has been covered can reset the forgetting curve. Using them as part of an ongoing strategy will surely maximize long-term information retention. ## Spaced repetition is the cure Today’s digitization of learning offers a wide array of clever fixes for our dwindling memory. Since learning is no longer a one-time event bound by the confines of time and place, setting-up boosters that will find each individual at his convenient time is very easy. Furthermore, since what Ebbinghouse also discovered was that spaced repetition is the key to remembering, having cleverly timed modules for learners to enroll in and go through important material at certain intervals will lead to them actually remembering all that is useful to them. This will generate better results and overall personal and professional development. It’s best to make at least some of the modules in the form of practice units rather than simple presentations since the brain is wired to keep only what is deemed relevant for use. ## AR and VR to the rescue One of the most important factors by which the brain decides if something gets stored or tossed is how strong the memory is. And whatever is deemed ‘personal experience’ tends to be labeled as highly relevant and stick with us for a long time. This is why designing as much of corporate learning as possible in AR or VR environments can have a tremendous impact on the ROI of training. Experiential learning has the greatest potential for bringing desirable, long-lasting behavioral changes. The fact that these environments also offer a high degree of interactivity helps the learner get a better understanding, stay focused and ultimately remembering and being able to extract the right take-aways from the experience. ## Closing thoughts There is no magical solution for people to remember absolutely everything, not would that be a desirable thing to achieve. Yet since corporate training is mainly focused on providing essential information and developing relevant skills, it needs to look into what it takes to overcome the (otherwise very natural) forgetting curve and work on delivering memorable modules.

A [Lumina-Gallup Student Study](https://www.gallup.com/analytics/luding providing more resources and support to students, creating a sense of community, and improving the quality of instruction. In this post, we’ll discuss three ways that CIOs can significantly improve student retention: 1. Proactively identify and engage inactive students 2. Personalize courses: make them engaging and fun 3. Create a learning community ## 1. Proactively identify and engage inactive students Detecting at-risk students on most learning platforms is usually a reactive approach with a singular focus on detecting a lack of engagement in courses. This often means that by the time at-risk students are identified, it is too late to provide them with the real support that they need. Here are three examples of ways that you can proactively identify and support at-risk students. ### Create automated, custom rules for site-level inactivity The CYPHER modern learning platform allows you to fine-tune and customize how student inactivity is detected per each organization’s specific needs. Instructors and administrators can create rules to automatically trigger notifications when a learner hasn’t visited the course or platform in a specified number of days. By providing more ways to detect student inactivity via automation triggers, you can go from reacting too late, eliminate manual activity reports, and more proactively identify and support at-risk students. ### Create interactive and engaging content that can be delivered and consumed in bite-sized chunks that make it easier for students to digest and retain material Personalize engaging modular and bite-size learning and provide students the ability to customize their learning experience. Modern learning systems with automation make it easier to develop and present engaging personalized content because they leverage modern technologies including mobile, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality that significantly enhance the learning experience. ### Get more data-driven insights, track student performance more thoroughly, adapt, and bridge the learning gaps Students need more support, more guidance, and access to better resources to not only to complete their education, but to thrive and unleash their potential. CYPHER improves visibility into student performance, allowing both students and instructors to measure progress and quickly identify areas of difficulty and improvement. CYPHER helps you to increase student participation with an engaging and collaborative learning experience that also makes it easier for teachers to provide quicker feedback and encouragement. Finally, modern systems with automation can help to improve overall effectiveness by providing data-driven insights on student performance, allowing instructors and administrators to better measure and evaluate learning effectiveness. ## 2. Personalize courses: make them engaging and fun By focusing on the practical application of the course material, students are more likely to retain the information and better understand how it applies to their future. Personalizing learning also makes learning more fun, and keeps students more engaged and motivated to continue learning. ### Take a modern competency-based learning approach to skills development Competency-based learning improves learning comprehension of essential knowledge by personalizing the digital experience with more specific feedback than conventional models, leading to a clearer understanding of a learner’s progress and skills gained over time. The CYPHER platform utilizes a modern competency-based learning approach that allows instructors to connect skills, courses, and careers. For example, a student who wants to become a Software Engineer can see all the relevant skills they need to attain and the courses they need to take to reach their goal. ### Validate competency with assessments, eliminate learning gaps, and get granular visibility into learning proficiency and performance Show students the value of their education every time they take a course by validating competency with accurate assessments. Competency-based learning was designed with the idea that learners prove or demonstrate mastery of a skill or concept before moving on to the next lesson. With fifteen assessment types, including question banks, essays, gamification, and self-evaluation, CYPHER ensures that learners can demonstrate competency. CYPHER allows students to use data captured on their skills development and performance data to adapt their learning practices. Similarly, instructors can use data-driven insights to review the needs of individual learners or groups of learners in a course, identify learning gaps, and appropriately improve instruction. ## 3. Create a learning community An important key to successful online learning is social learning, and not all online learning platforms are the same when it comes to fostering social interaction or collaboration. ### Create site-wide groups and discussion forums Engage students by creating a robust learning community where they feel like they belong. How do you do that? Provide the ability to interact, network and create social connections with peers and instructors. Groups and forums make it easier for students to connect, communicate and collaborate. The CYPHER platform features both course and community groups where students can connect based on their hobbies and interdisciplinary interests. With CYPHER, students can be automatically enrolled in community groups if administrators automate custom sign-up fields. ### Stay connected to peers and instructors in real time with an activity display that monitors course and group activities on the platform Without a sense of what’s going on with real-time visibility of activity on the learning platform, many learners feel lonely, isolated, bored, and disconnected. CYPHER uses an unique activity display feature that allows students to view real-time activity on the platform whenever they are on the learning platform. Now when platform users log in, they see community activity across courses and group forums. When learners click into a course or a group tile, an activity widget, a real-time scrolling display of current activity appears on the upper right-hand side of the screen displaying activity at a modular level. This visibility of dynamic real time activity on the platform better connects the community and improves participation and engagement. The activity display also lets students know when peers or instructors are online and available to interact. Students can share ideas, communicate with peers and instructors in real-time and get answers to questions, and gain an on-the-spot understanding of the subject matter. ## Significantly improve student retention rates The best way to improve student retention and engagement is to create an amazing learning experience that proactively recognizes and engages inactive students, personalizes individual learning experiences, and helps students feel part of a close-knit, robust learning community. The best way to experience the CYPHER Learning platform is to try it. [Sign up for a free demo](/-sales/schedule-a-demo).

Marketers are especially aware of this and seek to employ the **great power of semantics** and semiotics in order to draw attention and ultimately close the sale. When you are trying to sell a **freshly designed online course**, the title is probably the most important aspect of it, as it is the first thing your **potential customers** will make with. There is no perfect recipe for creating the **perfect title** for your online course but there are some things to **consider** before **deciding** what the name of your course should be. Here are eight of them: 1. ### Keep it concise Short titles fit well in posts, tweets, URLs when you need to share them online. If it’s easy to read, there’s a better chance people will notice it and figure out what it is . 2. ### Make sure it’s easy to spell Obviously, you’ll want people to talk your course, since starting conversations is a great way to grow your customer base. If your title has words that may be difficult to write correctly, people will avoid typing it. 3. ### Simplicity works best Even if your course deals with more complex information, the title should only comprise one concept, two at most. Trying to squeeze more in there will only render it confusing. 4. ### It should be easy to remember People may take a look, scroll away and then some time later think of coming back. A memorable title uses alliteration, smart acronyms or a surprising contradiction in terms. 5. ### Titles should be descriptive It is wise to include words that illustrate the most important concept in the course and show its significance. 6. ### The title should be an accurate preview for the course It needs to give an idea of the overall style as well as provide some hints to the content, without giving too much away. A preview is not a summary. 7. ### Graphics need to match the words The modern-day internet user is highly visual and with so much great content out there, they can easily spot any inconsistencies. The cover image has to be in perfect sync with the title. 8. ### Originality matters Before you set the title, do a search to make sure that it isn’t already used, lest interested customers might be thoroughly confused by the double results on a search.

But what happens when that AI use happens at work without an employer’s knowledge? In some cases, nothing. In other cases, it could allow employees to speed up their workflow and be more productive. However, even employees with the best intentions for their AI use could be putting their businesses at risk. The reason? Shadow AI. ## What is shadow AI? Shadow AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence without official approval or oversight from management or IT departments. Essentially, it involves employees independently implementing AI to enhance their productivity or streamline processes without following proper protocols or receiving necessary permissions. ## What are the threats associated with shadow AI? ### Data security risks Shadow AI can create security problems. Because employees are not sticking to the organization's security standards, sensitive data might get exposed or hacked. This could lead to data breaches and even legal trouble for not following regulations. For example, let’s say an employee installs an unauthorized AI tool to boost productivity, ignoring security standards. The tool's lax security allows hackers to breach sensitive data, leading to legal trouble and reputation damage for the company. ### Quality control concerns Without proper oversight, the quality of AI algorithms and models may be questionable. This can result in inaccurate insights or decisions, impacting the overall effectiveness of business operations. For example, a finance team begins using an AI algorithm to predict market trends for investment decisions without proper oversight. The algorithm is based on outdated data and flawed assumptions, leading to inaccurate predictions. As a result, the company makes substantial investments based on flawed insights, resulting in financial losses. ### Operational inconsistencies Shadow AI initiatives may introduce inconsistencies in processes and workflows across different departments or teams. This lack of coordination can hinder collaboration and cause confusion among employees. Imagine a sales team starts using a new AI-powered customer relationship management tool without informing other departments. They customize it to fit their workflow, but it doesn't align with how the customer support team operates. This leads to confusion and inefficiencies when transferring customer data between teams. ### Dependency on unsanctioned tools Relying on unapproved AI tools may lead to dependency on unsupported or outdated software, increasing the risk of system failures, compatibility issues, and difficulties in maintenance and troubleshooting. For example, imagine a marketing team adopts a free AI analytics tool without official approval, hoping to streamline their data analysis. They become dependent on it for their daily tasks, but when the tool isn't updated to work with the company's latest system update, it crashes, leaving the team stranded without crucial analytics. ### Legal and compliance risks Unauthorized AI usage may violate industry regulations or legal requirements, exposing the organization to potential lawsuits, fines, or damage to its reputation. Imagine an employee uses an unauthorized AI tool to expedite data analysis, unaware that it violates industry regulations. The system's improper handling of sensitive information leads to a breach, triggering legal action against the company for non-compliance. As news of the breach spreads, the company's reputation suffers, resulting in financial losses and diminished trust from customers and stakeholders. ## What you can do it ### Educate employees Provide comprehensive training and education programs to raise awareness the risks associated with shadow AI and promote responsible AI usage practices among employees.  An easy and effective way to implement a training program is by using a [learning management system](/platform) (LMS). A LMS enables you to easily develop training courses on your AI policies, and you can quickly update and disseminate information as policies change. Plus, if your LMS [tracks employee skills development](/solutions/skills-development) progress, management can see how well employees understand the measures and provide proof of employee compliance. ### Establish clear policies Develop and communicate clear policies and guidelines regarding the use of AI within your organization. The majority of your organization should agree with the policies in place and understand why they are necessary. In order to effectively enforce AI policies, you need buy-in from your employees. By sharing the potential consequences of not abiding by the policies, such as security breaches, dependency on unsanctioned tools, and operational inconsistencies, employees will be more likely to get behind policies. ### Encourage collaboration and transparency Foster a culture of collaboration between IT departments, management, and employees to facilitate the official adoption of AI solutions that meet the organization's needs while ensuring compliance with security and regulatory requirements. The goal of implementing policies around AI isn’t to stop its usage completely, it’s to ensure AI is being used in a way that doesn’t jeopardize your company. By encouraging open communication and allowing employees to use AI tools, they will be less likely to use them in a way that could harm the company. ## How CYPHER Learning can help CYPHER Learning simplifies, streamlines, and saves you time and resources by offering 1 platform with 3 powers: Learning Management System (LMS) + Learning Experience Platform (LXP) + content development – driven by leading AI innovation.

At the same time, the findings suggest current one-size-fits-all approaches to workplace training and development could form a barrier to success for more workers than previously thought. Benefits of adequately accommodating neurodiverse workers range from profoundly enhancing your workforce’s creativity and innovation to creating a more positive work environment. If your company is still using traditional training and development methods, you’re leaving out a big portion of the workforce, impeding many workers' ability to learn new skills and information. This study underscores the critical need for tailored programs and inclusive training to ensure every individual, regardless of their neurocognitive profile, has the opportunity to thrive professionally. Embracing personalized training not only better equips your employees with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, it also provides your business with a valuable competitive advantage. ## What is neurodiversity? Neurodiversity is the natural variation in human brain function and behavior across the population. It encompasses a broad spectrum of neurological differences, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. The Australian physician [Judy Singer](https://www.neurodiversityhub.org/what-is-neurodiversity) coined the term neurodiversity to promote equality and inclusion of people with different brain function and behavior. It reminds us that differences are not deficits, and there is no one “right” way of learning, thinking, or behaving. Just as biodiversity is essential for a thriving ecosystem, neurodiversity is vital for a vibrant and inclusive workplace. Each neurodivergent individual brings unique strengths, talents, and ways of thinking to the table, and tapping into these strengths via personalized learning and training can give businesses a competitive edge, promote a more positive work environment, and show employees how invested the business is in their growth. ## Benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace There’s a common misconception that people with ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, have an inability to focus. While that’s true in some contexts, ADHD learners also have a hidden superpower – hyperfocus. Hyperfocus is a state of intense concentration where you lose track of time. ADHD learners can achieve this state if they’re focusing on something they really enjoy doing. Hyperfocus is also common among those with autism. A high level of concentration is just one of strengths neurodiverse workers bring to the workforce. Other [skills and talents](https://askearn.org/page/neurodiversity-in-the-workplace) may include: - Innovation and creativity - Technical, design, and creative strengths - New ways to solve problems - High levels of concentration - Keen accuracy and ability to detect errors - Strong recall of information and detailed factual knowledge - Reliability and persistence - Ability to excel at work that is routine or repetitive in nature - And more “It has been reported that neurodiverse groups are better at creative and unconventional thinking, pattern recognition, stronger observational skills and the ability to stay focused. Adapting the workplace to suit their needs isn’t just a nice to do – it’s a smart business decision. And training and development is a huge part of that. While previous generations, L&D teams had little choice but to create one size fits all programs, with AI that is no longer the case. In the new AI era of L&D, personalized learning is achievable. This will help to make the workplace more inclusive, while driving benefits to the bottom line – everyone wins.” Graham Glass, Founder and CEO of CYPHER Learning ## Barriers faced by neurodivergent workers The statistics paint a concerning picture: unemployment rates among neurodivergent adults are estimated to be as high as 30 to 40%. Plus, individuals with conditions like ADHD are at a higher risk of chronic employment issues and job loss. These challenges highlight the urgent need for tailored support, training, and accommodations in the workplace. More than one in five (21%) neurodivergent workers reported that the workplace training they receive does not meet their needs – a figure that rises to 26% for those aged 16 to 24. With some [28,000 graduates](https://www.highfliers.co.uk/download/2023/graduate_market/GMReport23.pdf) within this age group expected to enter the workforce this September, businesses need to ensure now more than ever that their learning and development plans are suitable for all workers. Neurodivergent workers often face various barriers in the workplace that impact their participation and success. Some people continue to view neurodivergent traits as deficits, rather than just differences. These outdated, and frankly incorrect, perceptions contribute to systemic challenges such as discriminatory hiring practices and lack of awareness neurodiversity. Some neurodiverse individuals also face obstacles related to communication, social interaction, and sensory sensitivities. For instance, individuals with conditions like autism or ADHD may struggle with maintaining focus in open-office environments or navigating complex social dynamics. Without training tailored to each individual, you’re assuming every worker has the same strengths and weaknesses. Not only does standardized training fail to adequately address challenges in this context, it also wastes valuable time and resources. The absence of appropriate accommodations and support systems further exacerbates these challenges, making it difficult for neurodivergent workers to reach their potential and thrive in their roles. Addressing these barriers requires proactive efforts from employers to promote inclusivity, provide reasonable accommodations and tailored training, and foster a supportive work environment where all employees can contribute meaningfully. ## The need for personalized training programs It’s clear that traditional one-size-fits-all approaches to workplace training and development exclude a significant portion of the workforce, especially neurodiverse individuals. With nearly 40% of the incoming workforce identifying with neurodiverse conditions, providing adequate accommodations and training will not only help companies level up their workforce, but it will also promote a more inclusive workplace and attract top talent. “An untapped well of potential is to enter the workforce, and HR teams should welcome the challenge of leveling up their L&D programmes to get the most out of their new employees,” said Graham Glass, CEO and Founder, CYPHER Learning. “This is where personalized training comes in – if an employee knows they’re receiving the best training for them, they’re being set up to succeed. The power of AI can help with the move towards bespoke learning. With this, businesses stand to gain a more engaged workforce with supercharged skills.” Many companies who have [reformed HR processes](https://hbr.org/lusive workplace. Personalized training acknowledges and accommodates the diverse ways in which individuals process information, learn new skills, and navigate their work environments. By incorporating personalized learning paths, allowing employees to set their own learning goals, and providing audio, video, and written versions of lessons, businesses can empower and support employees. #### Survey Methodology CYPHER Learning worked with independent surveyor Censuswide to survey 4,000 workers – from owners and C-level executives to entry level employees. Censuswide surveyed 2,000 employees from the United States and 2,000 from the United Kingdom to better understand their attitudes toward workplace training and learning development. ## How CYPHER accommodates neurodiverse learners ### Personalized learning paths and goals Trainers can set [personalized learning paths](/tour/competency-based-learning), which guide learners through courses, media options, quizzes, and more.

As a teacher, I constantly hear their desire to learn by doing, see how things develop, contribute to and witness the results of their work. In other words, students want information and tasks that are real and useful outside the classroom. Defined by [PBL Works](https://www.pblworks.org/what-is-pbl) as “an approach to teaching in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects while they investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge,” project-based learning (PBL) seems to be the solution to covering what students need. PBL sets the scene for student agency and autonomy while teachers become coaches throughout all the stages of a project. Students use their voice and choice, developing 21st-century skills in an authentic learning environment. Digitally-savvy students can include technology into their PBL, making collaboration easier and the final product more appealing. ## 6 Digital tools for project-based learning that any teacher can use Here are six of my favorite PBL tools that I believe any teacher can use in their classrooms as well: 1. ### Glogster [Glogster](https://edu.glogster.com/) is an app that allows students to design interactive posters by combining images, videos, text, graphics, and audio to create a digital canvas called “glog.” The app is suitable for PBL as it promotes collaboration and it allows students to showcase what they've learned. Students and teachers can use the Glogpedia content library for science, math, and social studies. The website welcomes studies done on the benefits of using Glogster in the classroom with results that show [enhancement of perceptions and speaking proficiency](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276358249_EFFECT_OF_USING_THE_GLOGSTER_TECHNOLOGICAL_MODEL_ON_ENHANCING_THE_PERCEPTIONS_AND_SPEAKING_PROFICIENCY_OF_COMMUNICATION_SKILLS_STUDENTS), improvements in [higher-order thinking](https://www.academia.edu/2508409/Glogster_and_Higher_Order_Thinking) skills, and more. 2. ### Animoto [Animoto](https://animoto.com/) facilitates the production of videos out of photos, clips, and music using templates and existing resources or imported ones. The app allows students to use their creative potential and maximize it through additional tools. Animoto helps students develop 21st-century skills as it can be integrated with PBL activities. For instance, [30-second "Shark Tank"](https://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/using-animoto-technology-integration-activities.shtml) uses Animoto to help students create a short video to promote their projects or inventions. Also, ["Monster Attack!"](https://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/using-animoto-technology-integration-activities.shtml) allows students to narrate monster-related news stories. 3. ### Voicethread [Voicethread](https://voicethread.com/) is an app that can enrich students' presentations while developing “critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills.” Ed.VoiceThread is explicitly created for students and it provides the perfect online environment for them to practice their skills in a safe online environment. Voicethread can successfully be used in math, art, language, or history PBL activities. Students create voicethreads related to a class, a theory, a concept, a project, working individually or in groups. Here, you can find great examples of how teachers have used Voicethread with their students in their classrooms around the US and Europe in subjects like social studies, art, language, history, physics, and more.

With the use of multimodal tools, students can capture what they know in a digital portfolio which can be shared with teachers, peers, and parents. Seesaw helps students unlock their creative thinking in any subject. Teachers can use portfolios as a PBL assignment to empower self-reflection and promote student voice and choice. On their website, teachers can find and use, or adapt, [PBL ideas](https://app.seesaw.me/activities) for various subjects and students of all ages. 5. ### Ted-Ed [Ted-Ed](https://ed.ted.com/) is a learning platform with resources teachers can use in their classrooms. From Ted talks to animated videos covering many topics, the platform provides the information students need to learn new things. I also wrote my approach using Ted-ed lessons as a starting point for a project-based learning activity. The project takes an entire semester in which each student becomes a teacher for one lesson, which they create and structure based on an animated video chosen from the platform. Students develop their creativity and organizational skills, collaborate with peers, and coordinate their activities while practicing English in an authentic learning environment. They become more engaged and empathetic as a result of the experience. In a survey I conducted recently in my classroom, 37.3 percent of students said they need other content types. Other data that I’ve gathered from surveys conducted over the last five years shows most students enjoy becoming a teacher for one day. They also like to experience the responsibilities involved in preparing and managing a class, recognizing the benefits of such a project for language learning.

Padlet [Padlet](https://ro.padlet.com/) is a virtual wall where students can post their work and reflect on it. Teachers can intervene in the self-assessment process and guide learners through deeper reflection moments. Also, as a collaborative learning experience, peers can react and comment on each other's reflections and get a deeper insight into others' thought processes. Padlet can be used by students in many subjects to organize their ideas for a project, document their project journey, or create visual stories. ## All in all Project-based learning is the best excuse to use digital tools in the classroom and have students experience real-life learning opportunities that enhance motivation and develop 21st-century skills. You can find digital tools and resources that support PBL activities with benefits for everyone involved. Let your students showcase their knowledge and creativity through project-like tasks assisted by technology.

By including gamification techniques in the classroom, teachers can offer a fun and engaging way of learning, and students will amaze everyone with outstanding learning results. Here are four gamification techniques that come with small changes, yet bring **big results**: 1. ### A test vs. a quest There's something in the air right before taking a test when everyone feels millions of butterflies in their stomachs. A quest is a horse of a totally different color. **Students will not fear a quest**; they will feel challenged to rise above it and **conquer it**. That's why you should never underestimate the power of the words used in a course. 2. ### Grades vs. XP (eXperience Points) Student performance is traditionally assessed by starting from the perfect 100% and going downwards until reaching the real level of student's knowledge. XP come with a spin. Students start from zero and only go up, **getting a boost in their confidence**. At the same time, XP can be transformed into normal grades, for the satisfaction of the school's grading system. 3. ### F.A.I.L. = First Attempt In Learning Failure is rarely regarded as an option; the fear of failure can cause students to skip classes, avoid tests and even drop school. This is certainly not the case with games. Faced with a "Game Over!" screen, **kids feel the urge to play again and improve upon their last performance**. Their motivation grows bigger and they "Level Up" in learning as well. 4. ### A centralized system From something as simple as a shared spreadsheet to something as complex as an LMS, teachers need a centralized system to **keep track of and analyze** the performance of all students. **Technology assists teachers in gathering data from each student** - where do they struggle, how fast they progress - and deliver more personalized learning experiences.

Not all educational institutions could properly equip all their teachers with technology to ensure a smooth remote teaching experience. Some students also fell behind because of outdated devices or weak internet connections. This mix of factors increased learning gaps at individual, class, institutional, and state levels. Once they happen, learning gaps are hard to close. It takes weeks or even months to put students back on track. It’s not easy to make up for missing classes and competencies. If technology is one of the main factors that kept learning afloat during the lockdown, it is also key in closing learning gaps. An [intelligent learning platform](/academia) (ILP) is one of the solutions schools can rely on for this purpose. ## What are learning gaps in education? *Learning gaps are the difference between what students should have learned through a specific curriculum and what they learned in reality.* For example, in a foreign language class, the objective can be for students to progress from beginner to pre-intermediate level in one year. Students who demonstrate a beginner’s competency level by the end of the year have a learning gap. Leaning gaps happen for different reasons: - Students can’t attend classes due to illness or personal problems; - Students voluntarily skip classes; - Students drop out of school, then enroll again after a certain period; - Students take a long break before moving to a different school; - Students face emotional problems that prevent them from properly engaging in classes; - Classes are canceled, rescheduled; - Frequent teacher replacements; - Schools constantly shift from remote to in-person classes, which causes confusion and adaptation difficulties, especially among younger students. According to a [2021 McKinsey report](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/education/our-insights/covid-19-and-education-the-lingering-effects-of-unfinished-learning), disruptions such caused by the pandemic left K–12 students five months behind in some key subjects such as Math. Learning gaps vary a lot in complexity and intensity. Some are quite easy to close. For example, a student missing one class is a problem teachers can tackle with a bit of extra support. On their side, students simply have to put in more effort to make up for that missing class through individual study. Other gaps are harder to cope with, especially if they affect many students or the entire classroom. These gaps need careful analysis and prompt intervention, which requires the joint effort of teachers, parents, and other school staff members. There are different types of learning gaps, but usually, they all fall into one of these five categories: 1. **Knowledge gaps** stem from a lack of correct and sufficient knowledge; they can be caused by poorly planned teaching activities. For example, some teachers focused on handing out written assignments and lots of worksheets during the pandemic. While these are great teaching materials, they can’t substitute verbal explanations students need to receive in order to understand everything. 2. **Environmental gaps** are caused by environments that don’t offer proper learning conditions, such as a distraction-free learning space and good internet connection. For the past two years, many students and teachers have had to make do with a less than ideal environment. 3. **Skill gaps** often occur in education and are not always caused by major disruptions. Skills gaps open when students don’t have sufficient chances to practice what they’ve learned. This happens in classes that are too large or have hectic schedules. They can even stem from biases that cause some students to lag behind as they are not actively encouraged to participate in lessons. 4. **Motivation-related gaps** are caused by intrinsic reasons; some students are more motivated to learn than others because they have [higher self-efficacy](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/student-self-efficacy/) and parental support, among many other factors that influence motivation. At the same time, external factors, such as teacher behavior, can lower or [increase student motivation](https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/improve-student-motivation-ideas/). 5. **Communication gaps** were one of the biggest issues during lockdown. Teachers and students often experienced communication problems, particularly due to poor internet connectivity and outdated devices.Communication gaps are also caused by [inefficient teacher-student communication](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277933693_From_Theory_to_Practice_The_Barriers_to_Efficient_Communication_in_Teacher-Student_Relationship), whether teaching happens online or in person. Asking for student feedback is key to tackling this problem. ## How can teachers identify them? Closing learning gaps is impossible without first identifying them. Teachers need to understand their nature, scale (how many students are affected), and come up with an action plan to close them. Learning gaps are rarely an issue time can solve. Students and teachers have to take active steps to close them. The main ways to identify learning gaps are through observation and evaluation: - **Observation** enables you to understand which students are up-to-date with their learning goals and have acquired the skills they need based on the curriculum. You can get a general idea by interacting with students during classes and checking their assignments; - **Evaluation** is by definition the process of assessing students’ acquired skills. This is where learning gaps come to light. However, to truly identify and tackle learning gaps, grading tests is not enough. You also need to take into account their overall performance and progress to figure out how wide is the gap. Learning gaps are easier to close thanks to learning technology that automatically tracks student progress and detects them early. So, teachers can close learning gaps faster, before they become harder to manage. The type of technology that has the highest potential to do this is the intelligent learning platform (ILP). This AI-based tool offers different goal and progress tracking features, as well as competency-based learning tools and custom content recommendations. All of these features work together to help students acquire knowledge, prove their mastery, and slowly progress through the educational content at their own pace, thus avoiding learning gaps. The end result is a lean learning, teaching, and evaluation process where no student is left behind. Thanks to this, more severe problems such as students dropping out of school can be avoided.

Tapping into the immense potential of data is not just for the corporate world. Schools and universities can streamline their activity and provide better services by leveraging the potential of data. ### Use competency-based learning The first step in understanding how well a student performs is to make sure your classes offer relevant competencies and that these are clear and consistent with their content. ILPs have dedicated features that help you do this via [competency-based learning](/blog/k-20/smart-learning-objectives/). These capabilities allow teachers to associate competencies to the content they teach and the assignments students need to complete. *Associating competencies with lessons and assignments helps you track student progress for a specific competency.* Students who don’t perform well don’t prove mastery of a certain competency. Therefore, they can go through the content again and retake the assignment. Only after successfully completing it, they can move on to the next topic. *Adding competencies to assignments (quizzes, essay, team, etc.) allows you to evaluate student understanding.* The ILP also provides a faster way to assess student knowledge via the ILP’s competency-related quiz system. By taking a quick quiz, students and teachers can immediately see where the first are at and if there are any knowledge gaps. The platform checks quizzes in real-time and displays their results in an intuitive dashboard. Students can also rely on these quizzes to self-assess their competencies. Individual performance is available in the system, as well as a results overview of a larger group of users. These tests can serve at the beginning of the semester too. Teachers can use them as a diagnostic assessment to establish their students’ competency level. *Then, you can see how well students are doing based on each competency.* The purpose of competency-based learning is to ensure students acquire the skills they need before they progress to the next level. This is also one of the most efficient teaching methods that prevent knowledge gaps.

The ILP’s automation feature helps spot these gaps and also notifies teachers so they have the chance to do something them. All they have to do is choose the actions that they want to take. For example, a teacher sets a necessary minimum threshold students must achieve in their class for a specific competency, such as: - Set a score of 50 out of 100 points or a threshold of <50%; - Or, use this score can be =<30%; - Choose a range between two percentages such as =30% and <50%. The idea is that it’s up to each teacher to evaluate what is the appropriate way to spot these learning gaps. *The assignment threshold rule ensures that students who don't achieve a minimum of competency requirements can't move on until they do.* If students don’t reach the percentage needed after completing their lessons and assignments, teachers can set specific rules to tell the platform what to do, which enables the platform to take action: *Think of the platform as a teaching assistant who observes what students do and prompts you and them to take action when learning gaps are detected.* Here is a list of recommended actions that help close learning gaps: 1. **Send a custom notification** to the student to let them know what are the steps required for them to successfully master a certain competency; *Custom notifications allow you to personalize the message.* 1. **Having a one-on-one session with the student** to discuss their challenges or use the ILP’s social tools (chats, groups, etc.). and send more resources to students who are failing to achieve mastery to help them improve their skills; 1. **Automatically show or hide a lesson or assignment** (or an entire section comprised of lessons and assignments). For example, you could show a special lesson that contains simpler explanations and tutorials to help them catch up. Alternatively, they can hide more advanced lessons so students don’t feel overwhelmed. *Show or hide content to students who don't achieve the minimum competency level requirement.* 1. **Add them to a study group** in which students receive extra support from the teacher, teaching assistant, tutors, other students, etc. For example, if a student scores below 50% for a certain competency for a long time (for example, two weeks) the platform can add them to a study group. *Automatically add students to relevant study groups that can help them catch up.* 1. **Add a to-do item such as**: meet me after school lessons for extra explanations. Other to-do items can be: re-read the lesson, re-take the quiz, etc. This item will also appear on a student's to-do list so they won't forget to take action. *To-do items are great for telling students what they can do to improve their competency level.* 1. **Enroll them in another class** that you’ve created. For example, to help students close learning gaps, teachers can create a micro class that contains five-minute video lessons with extra explanations so they can work to understand a certain concept. This works great, especially for students who have missed certain pre-requisite competencies and can't move on to more difficult subjects before closing those learning gaps. *Enrolling students in another class can help them close learning gaps faster.* ### Enable personalized recommendations fueled by Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms An ILP can help students close knowledge gaps, requiring minimum teacher intervention. This helps educators save time, especially when it comes to curating content and recommending the appropriate resources for students. This is possible thanks to these platforms’ powerful artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. These algorithms analyze student performance and detect learning gaps. This is how it works: - **The ILP does an automatic analysis of individual student performance.** It takes into account the student’s overall activity: the classes they’ve completed, when, their results, past due classes, and others; - **Based on this analysis, the ILP can quickly spot learning gaps***.* For example, if the student’s progress drops below 50% on a specific competency, the platform automatically sends personalized content recommendations to help them improve their knowledge. The content is tailored to help them close learning gaps. *The ILP does an automatic learning gaps analysis and comes up with the best recommendations for students.* Personalized recommendations can include: - Taking classes created by their teacher or other teachers in that institution; - Classes tailored to other grades or specializations; - Third-party content from learning marketplaces such as Udemy; - Relevant resources available on the Internet. Thanks to this smart recommendations engine, teachers enjoy the benefit of having a virtual teaching assistant that makes sure students don’t lag behind on their assignments and competency achievement. Therefore, teachers can also tweak the recommendations engine according to what their students need. ## Closing learning gaps is easier than ever before Learning gaps in education are inevitable. Students don’t learn at the same pace and there are also external factors that affect their performance. However, teachers can spot and close these gaps with the help of technology. An ILP is one of the technologies that make this possible through accurate performance analysis and custom content recommendations.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Transitioning to online learning during the pandemic - Ensuring accessibility and user-friendliness of the online platform - Maintaining engagement and communication in an online environment "In 2020, we wanted to continue teaching even when schools were closed, so the first thing we did was to set up a distance learning program. When we evaluated that whole run, there was a missing "link" that we needed so that we could fully facilitate online learning. We knew that things were not going to change. Our students continued learning from their s for at least that coming school year, so that link was critical, and we saw that to be CYPHER, and for Berkeley, CYPHER's LMS became BLINK" says Charis Go, President. ## The solution We've been using CYPHER, since 2020. When we decided to bring our school fully online, we asked for recommendations from different school leaders who had used an LMS before the pandemic. CYPHER seemed to be the most recommended, emphasizing its affordability and ease of use. ### Implementation What was critical was that it complemented the goal of Berkeley. There were many LMS offerings, many LMS had content already, but we were one of those schools that had our own content and wanted to deliver learning for our students. CYPHER allowed that flexibility and allowed our teachers and students to be creative. It was an easy choice for us when we were comparing different LMSs. ### Features - **Gradebook:** We track student progress by looking at the gradebook. It is very easy for teachers to look into it since it tabulates the score, and gives you the data on whether the student did or did not submit an assigned task. It's beneficial for us teachers to use CYPHER for that data - Neil Aquino, Junior High School MAPEH Faculty. - **Communication:** One of the most important tasks of teachers is to provide feedback. CYPHER provided us the platform to communicate with teachers, parents, and students and let them know any improvements they need to work on or if they are doing well so far - Rahmeia Robles, Nursery Faculty.Messaging and announcement features played a vital role in information dissemination. They served as a backup platform for us to communicate with our stakeholders - Jun Gonzales, EdTech Department Head. - **Videos:** There are a lot of features that I like CYPHER. My favorite would be how easy it is to embed videos and activities where the student doesn't need to open another tab to go to another website. I know that they'll be able to do the task that I gave because there will be no problems with accessibility - Trixie Ariza, Grade 6 Faculty. - **Course creation:**One of the best features of CYPHER is that it allows me to get creative as I can when I create my lessons, and not only that, but it also allows me to sync all my lessons to my classes as fast as just one click - Rahmeia Robles, Nursery Faculty. - **Assessment:**The best feature of CYPHER is the Dropbox section that you can find in the assignments tab. It allows you to upload pictures, and videos, which I require, especially in my subject MAPEH, and it's a very skill-based subject. It's vital for me to check on my students whether they understood the lesson by giving them the assigned task that requires them to do skills-based tasks such as singing, dancing, art making, and even skills demonstrations such as first aid demonstrations - Neil Aquino, Junior High School MAPEH Faculty - **Support:**The most valuable features of CYPHER are the support forum, messaging, and announcement section. The support forum has been very useful in helping us resolve issues and errors beyond our capabilities. Support is fast in providing comprehensive guides and explanations on how to solve these issues - Jun Gonzales, EdTech Department Head. ### User engagement "I feel more involved in my son's education during online learning, mainly because I'm based overseas.I can quickly look at the materials they study during the synchronous session, so when it's time for me to have an online review with my son, it's easy for me to ask questions, formulate questions, or talk things he doesn't understand" says Jerome Reyes, a parent of a Berkeley student. "One of the best features of CYPHER would be communication. I can easily send an email across departments, whether to the teachers or the IT department. And also, the dashboard makes it easier for me to navigate through the website. One example would be the work located on the right, so it's easier for me to click on it and see what my kid needs to finish." “The best feature of CYPHER is that it's super easy to navigate. It is very user-friendly, and I could submit my work easily. It also helped me become independent.” Zaighn Piluden, Grade 5 Student ## The results - Adopting CYPHER LMS for seamless transition and continuity - Leveraging CYPHER's user-friendly interface and accessibility features - Utilizing CYPHER's messaging, announcements, and support forums for effective communication and engagement "With the introduction of CYPHER, everything has been digitalized, and lesson plans, curriculum maps, and instructional materials are now more accessible for students. It has also facilitated more expedient management of learning content, processing of grades, quizzes, the opening of discussions, and collaborative opportunities" said Steve Solano, Marketing and Curriculum Development Head. "CYPHER is a very flexible platform. It allows creativity, innovation, and the introduction of new programs. One of the things we introduced is the **synchronous online flipped learning approach**, which creates a learning space replicating the actual learning classroom." "This kind of program allows students to navigate many opportunities for linkages, collaboration, and innovative strategies that can make their learning more effective and meaningful." “CYPHER is very easy to use. Our students and parents gave us feedback that they could find their activities and classes and navigate through the website easily.” Robelei Macagba-Colobong, Kinder Faculty ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

As learning continues to evolve, organizations and educators are rethinking how to deliver content that’s not only effective but also deeply engaging. According to CYPHER, giving learners true agency means more than just personalization. It’s building smart systems that adapt in real time to their goals, interests, and learning styles. Whether it’s teaching division through Minecraft or scheduling weekly lessons on coral reefs, the future of learning is responsive and learner-led. ## What does the evolution of online learning look like for CYPHER? “It really just sounds like CYPHER was waiting for this moment in a sense, like working towards this goal of having this personalized AI, creating these modules for you. And now we’re finally here, essentially, it’s been like decades in the making… I think being able to have a platform that caters individually to the student or to, in this case, the business person, I think that’s really interesting. And I think there’s a lot to be gained from that.” For most of human history, education and training followed a static, one-size-fits-all model with a person standing on stage lecturing, think Socrates in the agora or a modern teacher at the front of a classroom. But today, with the rise of AI-driven personalization, we’re finally able to shift from time spent in your seat to real skill mastery. Students and employees alike can now learn at their own pace, guided by dynamic, responsive content tailored to their unique roles, locations, or learning gaps. This shift is already happening in companies like U-Haul, where training content adapts to store formats and customer needs in real time. Businesses are moving beyond checkbox compliance courses to continuously updated, role-specific training that actually matters, and that evolution is key to staying competitive in fast-changing industries like tech, healthcare, and finance. “So if you think businesses, most people, when they think training from business, they think the annual compliance course they gotta take, right? To check the box and click that button and hopefully they get the quiz right or they gotta go back and redo it. It’s a total waste of time and just awful user experience. And with AI now, what you’re able to do is actually personalize all of the training down to the individual employee, at scale and in an efficient way” - John Kannapell ## What engaging features are there for learners in the platform? “Can you help me visualize what the platform looks like and how I would interact with it? You mentioned there are group chats, are there any other features and visual learning aspects there in your platform?” Gamification plays a central role in engagement, with configurable leaderboards, credential tracking, and real-world rewards. On the backend, CYPHER easily integrates with systems like Workday, Salesforce, and BambooHR to ensure that user data, course progress, and compliance metrics stay fully aligned across platforms. With continuous feedback from power users and beta testers, plus a global-ready infrastructure supporting 50+ languages, CYPHER is staying not just current, but clearly ahead of the curve.The launch of CYPHER Agent for learners takes things even further, turning traditional course content into dynamic, personalized, and context-aware learning experiences. “The toolkits that we have allow learning along the spectrum, everything from what I call transactional, just-in-time learning, question-answer, all the way to long-form courses and micro learning moments all the way in between. That’s why we say that our purpose is to deliver billions of learning moments every day for our learners.” - John Kannapell ## What goes into AI-powered course creation? “It’s a big issue for anybody working with generative AI, but it’s especially big when you're educating people. Obviously you want to give them the most real factual information. What’s kind of the behind the scenes look?” AI has become a powerful engine behind the scenes, but it’s not replacing humans, but empowering them instead. According to CYPHER, AI is transforming corporate training by automating up to 80% of course creation. This drastically reduces manual labor while allowing organizations to maintain full control over content customization. By streamlining the development process, companies can deliver high-quality, personalized training at scale, empowering employees to progress efficiently and effectively. Educators and trainers still shape the voice, context, and relevance, especially when tailoring content to industry-specific standards. The result is faster course development without sacrificing trust or control. CYPHER emphasizes that while AI is a powerful enabler, it must be paired with robust oversight. Their proprietary AI Crosscheck process validates every course across multiple engines to ensure factual accuracy, giving educators confidence in the content delivered at scale. “AI is a fantastic foundation to eliminate a lot of the manual tasks, but we don’t see it replacing human oversight, as well as engagement in the development of the learning experience.” - John Kannapell  ## Who should (and shouldn’t) be using CYPHER? "Now, is there a company or an industry that is not a particularly good fit for CYPHER Learning? Cause it seems like you've worked with all sorts of different industries, schools, and company sizes. Is your platform catered to pretty much any sort of business or industry?"  CYPHER isn’t focused on organizations that view learning as a formality. Instead, the platform is designed for businesses and educational institutions that recognize continuous learning and training as crucial for staying competitive and relevant in rapidly evolving markets. According to CYPHER, ideal clients understand that investing in the personal and professional development of their workforce is essential to drive success. These are the organizations that see learning as a strategic advantage, particularly in industries experiencing rapid change and skills gaps. “What we’re looking for are businesses and educational institutions that see learning and training as an imperative for their differentiation, for their competitiveness in the market.” - John Kannapell ## How do you incorporate feedback from customers? "So I’m curious, how do you incorporate feedback from the people you’re educating? Because in a way you can tweak to get real time changes that users want, but there might be some more fundamental changes to the platform that can be tweaked to improve certain aspects. So how do you incorporate feedback to just make the platform better?" For starters, the brand-new CYPHER Agent for learners is being tested with a beta group of customers, both in businesses and schools. These early adopters are constantly sharing their thoughts through surveys, and CYPHER is keeping a close eye on how they're using, or not using, the features to make sure it's hitting the mark before a wider release.  Beyond the beta program, CYPHER maintains open communication channels with the entire user base. We share our development plans through a public roadmap and engage in regular business reviews with our larger clients, fostering a collaborative approach to growth. We also pay close attention to the needs and expectations of prospective customers, particularly regarding integrations with other critical business systems. Ultimately, CYPHER is driven by a commitment to understanding and responding to the evolving needs of the learning community and staying ahead of the curve in the dynamic world of AI-powered education. “But I’d say that the main thing is we listen to our customers first. What are they telling us, especially those that really love us and want to continue to grow with us, they get some extra attention. We also store prospects. We listen to people that are in our sales consideration pipeline. What are the things that they need to really make the decision on going with us? And the third is looking at the market and our competitors and where the market’s going, not only what they’re doing, but also where learning is going.” - John Kannapell Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [News blog](/blog/news) [Podcast](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/podcast) --- ## Get Your Socks Knocked Off at ATD 2023! **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/get-your-socks-knocked-off-at-atd-2023 **Last Modified:** 2024-07-31 false [News blog](/blog/news) [Events](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/events) # Get Your Socks Knocked Off at ATD 2023!

Though Learning Management Systems (LMS) may seem costly initially, the right LMS offers both obvious and hidden benefits that drive SMB growth in today’s digital economy. ## Streamlined onboarding and improved knowledge retention LMS adoption helps SMBs professionalize and standardize employee onboarding by centralizing training materials. This ensures every new hire experiences consistent and high-quality training, which shortens time-to-productivity [(Freshlearn, Best LMS for Small Business, 2025)](https://freshlearn.com/blog/best-lms-for-small-business/). Platforms like CYPHER Learning also offer tracking and analytics features. These tools let managers monitor progress and spot knowledge gaps easily—without the need for micromanagement [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Cost-Effective LMS, 2025)](/blog/business/cost-effective-lms-with-advanced-features-for-smbs-cypher-learning). Consequently, employee onboarding accelerates and learning resources remain accessible for ongoing reference, supporting long-term knowledge retention. ## Reduced training costs with scalable solutions Traditional in-person training incurs costs such as travel, venue rental, and printed materials. The adoption of an LMS that supports virtual and self-paced learning cuts these expenses by up to 50% and shortens training time by 25-40% [(LMS Chef, How to Calculate LMS ROI, 2025)](https://lmschef.com/how-to-calculate-lms-roi/). For SMBs with small HR and learning budgets, these savings can be redirected to growth initiatives. Moreover, LMS platforms scale as businesses expand, allowing new training modules to be added easily. Advanced features like automation and AI-driven course recommendations—offered by providers such as CYPHER Learning—enhance efficiency and personalization [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Cost-Effective LMS, 2025)](/blog/business/cost-effective-lms-with-advanced-features-for-smbs-cypher-learning). ## Data-driven performance monitoring and regulatory compliance Modern LMS platforms transform training into transparent, data-driven systems. They track learner progress and completion rates while generating customizable reports that offer actionable insights [(QuickBooks, Learning Management System, 2025)](https://quickbooks.intuit.com/r/enterprise/learning-management-system/). This visibility is critical for compliance management: systematic tracking ensures that regulatory training is completed on time. Integration with HR systems helps SMBs prepare for audits and avoid costly fines. CYPHER Learning excels by providing detailed reporting and integration options, along with fully white-labeled training experiences. This allows SMBs full control over branding throughout their learning touchpoints [(CYPHER Learning Blog, What Learning Platform Lets You White Label?, 2025)](/blog/business/what-learning-platform-lets-you-white-label-the-training-experience). ## Enhanced employee engagement and retention through continuous learning Employee training drives engagement and retention, both vital for SMB success. Research indicates that 92% of employees report higher job satisfaction when professional development is supported by an LMS, and companies using e-learning experience 24% greater profit margins [(Teachfloor, Employee Training Statistics, 2025)](https://www.teachfloor.com/blog/employee-training-statistics). Offering accessible, relevant, and mobile-friendly training options fosters a learning culture that motivates employees and lowers turnover. CYPHER Learning enhances this with a user-friendly platform continually shaped by employee feedback to meet evolving expectations [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Cost-Effective LMS, 2025)](/blog/business/cost-effective-lms-with-advanced-features-for-smbs-cypher-learning). ## Full brand control and client-facing training delivery For SMBs that provide external training services—such as agencies, consultancies, or franchises—white-labeling their LMS platforms is a key advantage. CYPHER Learning enables businesses to create fully customized, branded learning portals, mobile apps, and communications without any visible vendor branding [(CYPHER Learning Blog, What Learning Platform Lets You White Label?, 2025)](/blog/business/what-learning-platform-lets-you-white-label-the-training-experience). This strengthens professionalism and differentiates offerings in competitive markets by extending the brand experience to clients, trainees, or partners. ## Measurable Return On Investment (ROI) from LMS adoption The benefits of LMS adoption are quantifiable. Calculating LMS ROI involves comparing metrics before and after implementation—such as reductions in training time, error rates, and compliance issues, alongside improvements in retention, productivity, and revenue per employee [(LMS Chef, How to Calculate LMS ROI, 2025)](https://lmschef.com/how-to-calculate-lms-roi/). Leading LMS platforms like CYPHER Learning support this process with built-in analytics and customizable dashboards, empowering SMBs to track and optimize their training investments continuously [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Cost-Effective LMS, 2025)](/blog/business/cost-effective-lms-with-advanced-features-for-smbs-cypher-learning). ## Conclusion SMBs embracing an LMS gain hidden advantages that foster sustainable growth. These include streamlined onboarding, cost savings, data-driven performance management, improved employee engagement, and comprehensive brand control. Selecting a cost-effective, flexible, and fully customizable LMS like CYPHER Learning helps SMBs realize these benefits, enabling them to “start learning today” and maintain a competitive edge in a fast-changing market [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Cost-Effective LMS, 2025)](/blog/business/cost-effective-lms-with-advanced-features-for-smbs-cypher-learning). ## References 1.

Similar to how spell-check tools work, AI Crosscheck flags inaccurate information, recommends replacement content and asks users if they want to update the content. “One of the biggest barriers to the widespread adoption of generative AI is the fear of inaccuracies and the potential for harmful content. AI Crosscheck helps address these concerns by providing a robust safety net, making it safer for organizations to embrace AI technologies in their content creation processes,” said Graham Glass, Founder and CEO of CYPHER Learning. While AI technologies have revolutionized content creation by enabling efficient and scalable production of high-quality material, they also pose a risk of potential errors and inconsistencies. CYPHER’s AI Crosscheck addresses these generative AI challenges by providing safer and more reliable content production. This new tool leverages a powerful AI to review and flag any inconsistencies in the generated output by other AIs. With [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot), users can activate AI Crosscheck by selecting it within the course and apply it to the content being created. When an issue is found, AI Crosscheck will summarize the issue and provide a recommendation for replacement text. The user can click an option to either dismiss it or apply it. If no errors are present, AI Crosscheck will also alert users that no errors were found. A pioneer in the application of generative AI in content and course creation, CYPHER Learning is the only modern learning platform to offer AI-powered skill management and comprehensive course creation. The company deploys generative AI services that protect customers' data privacy, ensure better data ownership, and include enhanced security features. This innovative approach not only elevates the learning experience, but also prioritizes the safety and integrity of customer data. ## CYPHER Learning CYPHER Learning exists to give learners the power to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Furthermore, they not only support them with the tool Sciforma 7.1, but also with over 35 years of experience in Project Management. Bastian Schneider, Education Instructor, shares his experience with using CYPHER Learning®. “The team enjoys the learning system and gamification feature (King of Sciforma).

Previous user interface is being shown. New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Difficulty in training new employees with limited access to training content - Struggle to find one platform that could optimize the right content and provide consistency and overview - Accessing learning material outside the office, especially during travel times, posed a challenge due to limited connectivity Training new employees takes a lot of time and also for a long time it wasn’t easy for new employees to access learning content. So, we were missing a tool to optimize the right content in a suitable order. Nowadays, companies often have a lot of tools which need certain skills and knowledge. The challenge is to gather the material from all those platforms and provide it in only one platform. Many different tools offer different learning techniques: Wizards, White papers etc. What’s missing is consistency and overview. A lot of times consultants are not in the office - access to learning material in a train for instance can be difficult. ## The solution - Offered students the flexibility to choose the speed of education, minimizing internal training time requirements - Implemented CYPHER to consolidate learning material, provide unlimited storage, and offer customizable learning paths - Leveraged CYPHER's mobile app with responsive design for on-the-go learning and utilized its features for uploading tool manuals and supporting content We were checking the market for available solutions and found CYPHER. Since not all users are learning constantly, we have the possibility to share licenses. ### Implementation We train our employees by showing them a track with customized learning paths and combine that with face-to-face training, which we schedule with CYPHER. In addition, staff members can check their knowledge in small tests. It was important for us that no control from supervisors was needed. Students can choose the speed of education on their own. This is important, so employees who would feel bored because of slow progress with topics that are easy for them can concentrate on more difficult ones, and take their time for these, when they need it. This way we achieve the best results. We use CYPHER to preserve our knowledge. Employees know that they can find answers to their questions and review what they have learned. So besides learning, we use it as a reference guide. A big advantage concerning this point is the mobile app, which has a responsive design and allows us to visualize our content on phones without having to adjust the format. Because of CYPHER, we are able to upload tool-manuals. In addition to that, we can support these manuals with descriptions and pictures to emphasize the most important content. ### Features The support response times are very fast, often less than 10 minutes. If we have problems with the configuration, CYPHER Learning helps us find a solution. Moreover, there is a suggestions section where we can express our wishes and thereby have an impact on future features of the product. We were able to adjust CYPHER to our corporate identity so the interface looks as we want it. A CYPHER plan contains unlimited storage space, so we don’t have to worry mass data. Due to the responsive design, the learning material can be used on the go. The setting options have enough complexity while still offering an intuitive and easy to use interface for users. Everyone can manage their own learning time and pace and be independent from instructors. “CYPHER allowed us to minimize the internal time requirements for training, because we fill it with knowledge from many different subjects and everyone knows where to find it. This enables the instructors to concentrate on other topics during the training phase.” Bastian Schneider, Education Instructor ## The results Due to the combination of different media (video, text, and external documents) it’s easier for our staff to understand the topics. CYPHER is the first point for them regarding knowledge. This means that they don’t have to think who could have information a certain topic. CYPHER allowed us to minimize the internal time requirements for training, because we fill it with knowledge from many different subjects and everyone knows where to find it. This enables the instructors to concentrate on other topics during the training phase. Providing learning material on one platform instead of many different places is good for us because they have to be edited and you only have to do these changes in one place. Everyone, on an international level, who sees CYPHER, wants to use it because it’s intuitive, fast and available anywhere.

Por exemplo, a OpenAI é muito direta: se você estiver usando a versão gratuita do ChatGPT e copiando e colando seus dados em seu buffer, por assim dizer, eles treinarão a OpenAI usando esses dados. Portanto, **você não deveria compartilhar dados proprietários importantes com uma versão gratuita do ChatGPT**. Dito isso, eles também são sinceros: se você estiver usando a **versão corporativa do ChatGPT** ou se estiver **compartilhando dados por meio de suas APIs, eles não serão usados ​​para treinamento, não serão armazenados em lugar nenhum**, serão apenas transitórios e serão destruídos. Na CYPHER Learning, fazemos interface com IAs por meio dessas APIs e apenas quando o fornecedor e o proprietário da API garantem que esses dados são totalmente privados. Portanto, se você estiver usando um **sistema como a plataforma CYPHER**, que usa APIs, **não precisa se preocupar com o compartilhamento de seus dados privados com ninguém**. **Como posso verificar se as informações que uma IA me fornece são precisas?** A primeira coisa a notar é que a **precisão da IA ​​está aumentando rapidamente**. Todos nós já ouvimos falar do chamado efeito de alucinação, onde às vezes a resposta é errada ou apenas inventada de maneira que parece muito convincente, mas na verdade é incorreta. Que, aliás, é algo que os humanos também fazem. Então, vamos também reconhecer o fato de que isso não é algo exclusivo das IAs – é realmente um conceito geral com qualquer fonte de informação. Dito isto, o GPT 3.5, por exemplo, faz isso com mais frequência do que o GPT 4 e a OpenAI declarou publicamente que acredita que as futuras iterações serão cada vez mais precisas. Portanto, a primeira coisa é que acredito que a taxa de erro da IA ​​diminuirá drasticamente ao longo do próximo ano. A segunda coisa é que, convenhamos, não sejamos ingênuos. Só porque uma IA oferece isso, não significa que seja perfeito. Então, de modo geral, **você aplicará o mesmo tipo de pensamento crítico e verificação cruzada com informações de uma IA que você também executaria**, independentemente de vir da web ou de outro ser humano. Então, basicamente, sempre exercite o pensamento crítico. Na plataforma CYPHER Learning, quando criamos conteúdo educacional usando AI 360 com Copilot, somos muito honestos e diretos e dizemos que as **IAs às vezes cometem erros, é necessário revisar as informações**. Portanto, não estamos tentando vender que tudo o que você faz usando IA é perfeito. No entanto, estamos trabalhando para reduzir a probabilidade de uma alucinação e também para facilitar a verificação dos revisores humanos para encontrar possíveis erros. Para isso, temos a chamada **verificação cruzada de IA**, que será lançada em breve na CYPHER Learning. **Ela é composta de mais de uma IA e usará uma outra IA para pré-verificar a precisão das informações provenientes da IA**. Mais uma vez, isso não garante que será 100% preciso, mas tenderá a minimizar os riscos. Portanto, acredito que, de modo geral, as IAs são como qualquer outra fonte de informação. Você tem que ter cuidado, você tem que verificá-las, mas elas ficarão cada vez mais precisas rapidamente. **Devo me preocupar com questões de direitos autorais ao usar uma IA?** 99% das vezes, não, mas 1% das vezes, talvez. Primeiro, vamos relembrar como as IAs realmente funcionam. **As IAs não copiam e colam todo o conteúdo da Internet em seus cérebros digitais e depois o regurgitam**. O que elas fazem é revisar grandes quantidades de conteúdo, extrair a essência desse conteúdo e depois codificá-lo em termos de números. Portanto, é quase certo que a IA nunca conseguiria descobrir exatamente o que é lido, porque não é assim que ela armazena informações. E tal como um ser humano, gera informações novas a partir de tudo o que acessa. E qualquer pessoa que já tenha usado uma ferramenta como o ChatGPT sabe que **cada vez que você faz uma pergunta, recebe uma resposta um pouco diferente**. Isso demonstra que não é um simples ato de copiar e colar. Uma das coisas que a OpenAI e a Microsoft fizeram foi anunciar algo chamado “** Shield**”, que ressalta sua confiança e compromisso em proteger a produção de IA contra qualquer tipo de problema de direitos autorais. Portanto, se você estiver usando um de seus produtos e alguém disser que você violou um direito autoral, a Microsoft ou a OpenAI virão em sua defesa legal, o que é uma ótima jogada. Geralmente, você pode usar a ferramenta com confiança, sabendo que não está copiando e colando de nenhuma fonte específica. E isso cobre 99% dos casos. O **1% dos casos**, que acho que vale a pena reconhecer, é que existem alguns **criadores de conteúdo**, **especialmente artistas**, que passaram anos criando uma identidade muito, **muito específica e única**. Picasso é um exemplo óbvio do passado, mas até hoje temos pessoas fazendo isso. E se uma IA de geração de imagens aprendesse tudo sobre Picasso e depois começasse a gerar 100.000 Picassos usando sua identidade específica e elaborada, então isso quase certamente **seria um caso de violação de direitos autorais**. Portanto, existem casos específicos em que você precisa ter cuidado, mas em 99% deles, no mínimo, você não precisa se preocupar. **Existem riscos de segurança quando se trata de agentes?** Às vezes, se você der ao agente um alto grau de autonomia. Se você tem um agente básico, você dá a ele acesso limitado a vários dados proprietários, você não a sua carteira, então qual é o risco? Realmente não há muito risco. É como uma IA comum. Mas se você disser "Vou te dar meu número de cartão de crédito, meu código de segurança, meu número de carteira de motorista" e der a ele todas essas informações e deixá-lo solto, então sim, obviamente há preocupações de segurança - uma das quais é que ele pode esvaziar sua conta bancária. Então, estamos obviamente focados no estilo de agente onde você não dá a ele muitas informações pessoais e não pode realizar atos irreversíveis em seu nome. **NOVO: Como as empresas podem garantir um uso ético da IA?** Por ético, o que realmente queremos dizer é não usá-la para propósitos destrutivos e nefastos. A abordagem mais óbvia para isso é usar guardrails, o que pressupõe que você tenha uma central onde possa aplicar guardrails em todo o uso empresarial de IA. Então, por exemplo, em um futuro agente de aprendizagem, um administrador pode adicionar um guardrail que não permita que as pessoas queiram aprender sobre qualquer coisa que não esteja diretamente relacionada ao seu cargo. Isso é simples. Ou no caso do K-20, você não quer que eles aprendam sobre construir bombas, armas e coisas assim. Então, obviamente, você colocaria um guardrail para isso. Então, eu diria, obviamente, que você pode ter padrões dentro da sua empresa. Você pode ter treinamento de RH sobre como usar IA eticamente. Mas, de uma perspectiva puramente técnica, eu acho essencial ter um produto que permita a você colocar guardrails. **NOVO: O que acontecerá quando os deep fakes melhorarem e poderem ser usados ​​no setor de aprendizagem?** Obviamente, se você está criando cursos, você precisará de um humano no circuito. Então, primeiramente, um especialista humano pode ter certeza de que os itens do curso não são explicitamente falsos. Em segundo lugar, um recurso que implementamos é uma tecnologia de verificação cruzada de IA. Isso quer dizer que, além de um humano, outra IA diferente é usada para limpar seu conteúdo. Então, no caso de um vídeo, por exemplo, essa IA irá ouvir o vídeo e certificar-se de que não esteja falando mentiras óbvias. Essas são duas ações que você pode tomar, mas certamente é uma preocupação, especialmente fora da área de aprendizagem, porque os humanos precisam ser capazes de confiar na verdade factual para tomar boas decisões. Implementação IA **Devo hesitar em usar IA no meu negócio?** Acredito que há **algumas áreas** do seu negócio que poderiam tirar vantagem imediata da IA ​​e isso **não apresenta nenhum risco existencial ao seu negócio**. E há **outras áreas**, especialmente quando sujeitas a altos níveis de regulamentação governamental, **onde poderá ser necessário ter cuidado**. Mas outra coisa que você deve lembrar é que seus concorrentes podem não hesitar em certas áreas importantes e quanto mais tempo você levar para aplicar a IA, maior será a desvantagem que você terá. Por exemplo, **com o e-learning, se você estiver construindo cursos 100 vezes mais rápido e com um décimo do custo de seus concorrentes, isso lhe dará uma vantagem estratégica**? Se você é uma organização de treinamento ou de TI, a resposta é quase certa: sim, você estaria em desvantagem. **Como o ChatGPT se compara a soluções semelhantes?** Preciso admitir que sou um pouco tendencioso porque uso o ChatGPT Enterprise pelo menos uma hora por dia, o que é bastante. Ultimamente, um dos pontos que realmente gosto no ChatGPT é um **novo recurso que aprende sobre você, atualiza na memória e garante que essa memória atualizada seja levada em consideração em cada interação**. Por exemplo, se eu disser ao ChatGPT: “Ei, você pode ser um pouco mais conciso?” você realmente verá isso sendo computado e as interações sendo mais concisas. Da mesma forma, se eu disser que gosto de astronomia, talvez ele ache isso relevante e então diga à IA toda vez que eu interagir com ela: “A propósito, Graham gosta de astronomia”. Então eu acho que é um recurso muito legal. Não vi isso em nenhuma outra IA até agora. Também tenho a impressão de que o ChatGPT no momento é provavelmente um dos melhores, se não o melhor em termos de precisão e prazer de interagir com ele. Certamente acerta muito quando estou falando com ele e **há um novo ChatGPT 5.0 sendo lançado em um futuro não muito distante. Então, isso elevará o nível novamente**. Acho que também tem uma integração extremamente boa com ferramentas. Portanto, se quiser fazer alguma análise financeira, você pode fazer upload automaticamente de uma planilha e ela gerará automaticamente uma nova planilha para você. Acho que essa é outra área que realmente se destaca. Sou fã, mas você sabe, o mundo está mudando rapidamente, então talvez daqui a seis meses eu tenha um favorito diferente. **Quais são as limitações do ChatGPT?** Acho que na verdade existem algumas em aspectos diferentes. A primeira que direi é que **não acontece em tempo real**, e o que quero dizer com isso é que não tem acesso ao que aconteceu há cinco minutos ou meia hora atrás, ou mesmo há uma semana. E tenho certeza de que isso acontecerá. Então, a maneira como funciona agora é que eles fazem um grande esforço de treinamento, onde analisam grandes quantidades de dados em um determinado ponto instantâneo no tempo. E é com isso que começa a nova versão do modelo deles. Mas não é atualizado diariamente, mas quase garanto que será. Então será aquele em que logo saberemos até a última semana, e então será o último dia, e em certo ponto, será até o último segundo. Então essa é uma limitação atual. **Outra limitação tem a ver com a profundidade do raciocínio**. Agora, eu uso o ChatGPT o tempo todo e devo dizer que acho que seu raciocínio é melhor do que o da maioria dos humanos. Não vejo os humanos como as máquinas de raciocínio definitivas. Então é muito, muito bom, mas há momentos em que não é tão bom quanto um ser humano, especialmente quando você apresenta problemas lógicos realmente complicados. Mas isso está sendo resolvido rapidamente. Portanto, no ChatGPT 5.0, a ênfase será elevar o nível de suas habilidades de raciocínio. Minha suposição de trabalho é que o ChatGPT 5.0 será melhor que 98% dos humanos. E no ChatGPT 6.0, serão 99% de humanos. Sempre haverá humanos melhores que o ChatGPT em um futuro próximo. Mas não creio que a falta de capacidade de raciocínio seja algo mais do que apenas uma fraqueza de curto prazo. Acho que outro ponto fraco é **a maneira como ele lida com dados proprietários**. Então, no momento, o ChatGPT está treinado em um enorme corpus de informações públicas. Mas se você tem uma grande quanidade de dados privados, não há nenhuma maneira barata de dizer: “A propósito, para fins de nossa interação, aqui estão cinco gigabytes de informações adicionais e quero que você indexe isso com o mesmo nível de profundidade com que você indexa todo o resto”. Portanto, o ChatGPT 4.0 tem a capacidade de lembrar os arquivos que você pode enviar. Ele tem a capacidade de indexá-los como um banco de dados vetorial, mas não os ingere ao nível de profundidade do conhecimento público. Mas acho que isso será um avanço quando você puder fornecer a ele uma grande quantidade de informações e seu cérebro ficar maior e diferente quando estiver falando com você e com outra pessoa. Essas são as três principais limitações que posso ver agora. **NOVO: Uma IA gerenciada pode fazer um trabalho melhor do que o ChatGPT público?** A resposta é definitivamente sim. Por exemplo: quando precisamos criar um curso moderno e sofisticado. Em uma IA gerenciada, você basicamente preenche as lacunas do que deseja no curso, incluindo os detalhes finos e informações adicionais. A IA gerenciada vai usar, em segundo plano, a mesma tecnologia do ChatGPT público, porém super rápido. Cada prompt é cuidadosamente projetado e, não apenas isso, cria o curso em nossa plataforma em minutos. Se você fizesse a mesma coisa no ChatGPT, essa mesma tarefa poderia levar horas, porque você teria que obter cuidadosamente os prompts, lapidar cuidadosamente todas as respostas e, em seguida, copiar e colar manualmente cada item em nossa plataforma. Então a resposta é inequivocamente sim. **Existe alguma conexão entre CYPHER Copilot e Microsoft Copilot?** A resposta é que não realmente, mas mais ou menos. O que quero dizer com isso é que **CYPHER Copilot é um produto CYPHER Learning, que está totalmente focado em tornar a vida de educadores e alunos mais agradável e eficiente**. Nesse sentido, é um produto completamente separado do Microsoft Copilot. Existem muitos copilotos, existe o Github Copilot, existe o Fubar Copilot. **Então copiloto é apenas um termo que usamos para enfatizar o fato de que o humano está no comando**, é como se fosse o seu médium. Eles são um pouco semelhantes porque ambos usam a tecnologia OpenAI nos bastidores. A Microsoft licenciou a tecnologia da OpenAI. Portanto, o Microsoft Copilot nos bastidores usa a API OpenAI. CYPHER Copilot usa muita IA, então não usa apenas uma IA para gerar texto, ele usa múltiplas. Ele usa IA de imagem e em breve terá IA de vídeo. Possui IA de voz, mas uma das IAs que usamos é o modelo de linguagem OpenAI. Então eles têm um pouquinho em comum. Mas fora isso, eles são bem diferentes. **Quais serviços de IA a CYPHER Learning usa?** Atualmente usamos 5 IAs diferentes e, no próximo mês, **provavelmente serão 7 ou 8 IAs**. A ideia geral é que **escolhemos IAs com base no que elas fazem de melhor, quão rápidas são e quanto custam**. Então usamos uma IA, por exemplo, para síntese de imagens, outra IA para narração, outra IA para transcrição de vídeo, outra IA para geração de conteúdo, etc. Mas a vantagem do nosso sistema é **que nenhuma dessa complexidade aparece para o usuário**. Basta clicar na caixa de seleção de ‘quero sintetizar imagens’ , por exemplo. E ocultar isso do usuário nos dá a flexibilidade de substituir essas IAs a qualquer momento quando algo melhor estiver disponível. Obviamente, nos comprometemos com os nossos clientes finais de que **todos os seus dados pessoais são completamente privados**. Portanto, não vamos compartilhá-los com ninguém. Nós nos esforçamos muito para fazer com que nossos sistemas funcionem de maneira muito rápida e confiável. Mas, fora isso, não há necessidade de ninguém saber quais IAs estamos usando nos bastidores. **O que são prompts de IA e há algum valor agregado em usar um sistema que não requer prompts de IA?** **Um prompt de IA é basicamente algo que você diz a uma IA** e, dependendo de como você faz a pergunta, pode obter um tipo diferente de resposta. Dentro de nossa equipe de engenharia, agora temos muita experiência em como fazer a pergunta exatamente da maneira certa para obter a melhor resposta. **Você não precisa saber nada sobre os prompts de IA ao usar a plataforma CYPHER porque empacotamos as IAs** e escondemos todos os detalhes complicados ​​de você. Tudo que você precisa fazer é marcar algumas caixas, selecionar algumas opções de menu e clicar em Enviar. Outra questão é: **por que não posso fazer exatamente o que você está fazendo usando os prompts da IA?** E a resposta é que você poderia, desde que não se importasse em trabalhar cerca de 100 vezes mais devagar do que utilizando a plataforma CYPHER Learning. Para você ter uma ideia, quando você constrói um curso em nossa plataforma, **acionamos no mínimo 200 prompts**, muitos dos quais operando em paralelo em uma velocidade sobre-humana. Em seguida, pegamos os resultados de todos esses prompts e, por meio de uma forte integração, **geramos os módulos, as páginas, as avaliações, os questionários e os glossários em uma velocidade sobre-humana**. Se você estivesse tentando fazer isso com ChatGPT, o que fazemos em 10 minutos provavelmente levaria cerca de 10 a 20 horas e cada vez que você quisesse repetir, teria que gastar mais 10 a 20 horas fazendo isso. Então, sim, você poderia replicar o processo, mas não acredito que seja um bom uso do seu tempo. **Como CYPHER se posiciona perante as mudanças nas políticas globais de IA?** De modo geral, o que fazemos é tentar**tornar a IA extremamente acessível a qualquer pessoa** na indústria educacional. Está **protegida** em camadas e você não pode fazer nada fora da realidade com isso. Então, a tornamos o mais **segura** possível. Não podemos forçar ninguém a usar IA contra a sua vontade. Mas qualquer pessoa que queira usar a IA descobrirá que ela é **muito favorável às políticas globais**. **O que torna CYPHER AI 360 único no mercado educacional?** Então, AI 360 é o nome que damos à nossa tecnologia, que ajudará todas as partes interessadas no processo educacional. E nossa primeira oferta como parte do AI 360 foi o CYPHER Copilot, que é incrivelmente bom em criar aulas sofisticadas e modernas, aulas prontas para habilidades - em menos de cinco minutos agora, porque ele continua ficando mais rápido. E esse recurso específico tem o AI Crosscheck automático para precisão, síntese de voz, síntese de imagem, geração de conteúdo - o que você quiser, está lá. Mas estamos trabalhando em algumas coisas incríveis. Ainda não lançamos, o que não está relacionado ao desenvolvimento do curso. Na verdade, é outra parte do guarda-chuva do AI 360. E, no geral, eu diria que o que nos torna únicos é a velocidade com que estamos nos movendo e a amplitude de partes interessadas que estamos ajudando com a IA. **Como a IA afetará o conjunto de recursos das plataformas de aprendizagem?** Se você observar como as pessoas normalmente usam plataformas de aprendizagem, é necessário logar e fazer um curso tradicional, que normalmente é dividido em **módulos e sessões**. Se você tiver sorte, é  um curso **gamificado** e se você tiver muita sorte, também incluíra **competências**. E essa é uma área óbvia em que a IA pode ajudar. Especificamente, a **IA pode permitir que um instrutor crie automaticamente cursos incrivelmente sofisticados** em apenas 10 minutos. Eles não farão 100% do trabalho, mas sim pelo menos 80% do trabalho. Mas essa é uma resposta bastante direta. Creio que há uma resposta muito mais interessante, pensando um pouco além da maneira como as pessoas tradicionalmente aprendem usando plataformas. Por exemplo, muitas pessoas têm algo importante e crítico que querem aprender imediatamente, e não têm tempo ou disposição para procurar e encontrar um curso disponível no seu catálogo de cursos para necessidades imediatas. Portanto, uma das coisas legais que a IA pode fazer é usar a IA generativa. Assim, **você pode aprender algo ali mesmo, sob demanda**, em um formato consumível fácil de usar, sem precisar fazer um curso. E isso é algo que **considero uma espécie de aprendizado instantâneo**. Creio também que essas **plataformas em breve terão agentes pessoais**. Um agente pessoal **funcionará 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, em segundo plano, tentando encontrar maneiras de ajudá-lo a atingir seus objetivos de aprendizagem**. Eles podem recomendar conteúdo, encontrar e resumir automaticamente artigos de notícias úteis para você, fornecer acompanhamento automático depois de você ter consumido algum material e lhe dar uma pequena atualização depois de uma semana. Isto é algo que penso que irá revolucionar a forma como as plataformas de aprendizagem funcionam. Então fique ligado e vamos ver se tudo isso se concretiza. **A IA substituirá os professores?** **A resposta rápida é não**, por que sinto isso? Eu costumava ser professor. Eu era um educador. Eu costumava lecionar Ciência da Computação na Universidade do Texas em Dallas. As pessoas gostavam muito das minhas aulas e um dos **motivos** é a **energia**, o **entusiasmo** e as brincadeiras que levei para a sala de aula, o que deixou todos muito motivados com o aprendizado e os colocou no estado de espírito certo. E obviamente eu entreguei os materiais básicos, mas fiz muito mais. Fiz muitos**projetos práticos legais** - por exemplo, construir um simulador de rede neural. Sempre recebi ótimo retorno e**as pessoas gostavam muito das minhas aulas**, e ainda hoje ocasionalmente me enviam e-mails sobre isso. **Então a IA não teria feito isso? Eu não acho**. No entanto, se eu estivesse ministrando uma palestra e tudo o que dissesse fosse "Ok, pessoal, vamos para a página 15. Agora vamos todos ler juntos", sim, provavelmente eu poderia ter sido substituído por uma IA se fosse tão ruim e chato. **Mas gosto de pensar que a maioria dos educadores, na verdade**, faz muito mais. E a coisa mais importante que você pode fazer é **inspirar e motivar seus alunos**. **Como as empresas ou universidades mantêm uma vantagem competitiva quando o conteúdo gerado pela IA é semelhante em cursos desenvolvidos em torno de tópicos semelhantes?** Primeiramente, a IA não gera o curso inteiro. A **IA foi criada para gerar cerca de 80% do curso**, o núcleo que, francamente, ninguém quer gastar seu tempo fazendo, para que um **instrutor possa gastar os 20% adicionais adicionando seu próprio toque**, adicionando suas próprias expressões e se apropriando dele. Se todos os cursos forem iguais, isso significa que as pessoas não estão fazendo o seu trabalho e estão apenas apertando um botão e depois repetindo as informações, o que não é de forma alguma a nossa filosofia. Além disso, se você pretende criar cursos usando IA, então você também deseja que esses cursos sejam **modernos e envolventes**, o que significa que você gostaria que eles adotassem uma abordagem orientada para **competências** para que todos os materiais fossem focados nos assuntos que eles estão ensinando e avaliando. Você teria interesse em torná-los **gamificados**. Idealmente, você gostaria que ferramentas como narrações digitais os tornassem envolventes. O que fizemos em nossa ferramenta **Copilot** de criação de cursos foi incorporar tudo isso diretamente na ferramenta para **economizar muito tempo e dinheiro das pessoas**. Eu diria que em última instância, honestamente, o que dá às universidades a maior vantagem competitiva são os **tipos de instrutores que elas contratam**. Existem instrutores ruins que ensinam apenas de acordo com o livro e existem instrutores realmente talentosos que sabem como tornar qualquer assunto animado, divertido e memorável. Você quer contratar esse tipo de pessoa, a melhor plataforma que você pode implantar para eles, a melhor integração de IA que você pode oferecer. Isso os deixará felizes e então eles poderão **passar mais tempo fazendo o que fazem de melhor, que é inspirar seus alunos**. **Como as organizações podem implementar melhor a IA em seus programas de T&D?** Então, definitivamente use CYPHER Learning! Mas além do óbvio, eu diria que há diferentes maneiras de usar a IA. Algumas são bem superficiais. Você cria uma aula tradicional e talvez apenas marque alguns vídeos usando IA. Esse é o uso superficial. E então há o uso profundo da IA, onde você começa a gerar automaticamente parte do conteúdo usando IA, você usa o AI Crosscheck para garantir que as informações sejam precisas, associadas à competências diferentes, construindo mapas de competências dinamicamente usando IA. Há muito mais que você pode fazer com IA e CYPHER Learning, estamos focados no uso profundo da IA. Então, se você quiser conferir nossa plataforma, verá que fazemos muito mais com inteligência artificial. **O que é gerenciamento de habilidades habilitado por IA e por que é importante para os departamentos de RH?** Agora, se você pensar sobre isso, uma das principais coisas que você quer fazer em RH ou T&D é ajudar as pessoas a evoluir em suas carreiras, ajudá-las a fazer seu trabalho melhor, garantir que elas fiquem com as últimas tecnologias, etc. E conforme o mundo se move cada vez mais rápido, é cada vez mais importante que as pessoas aprendam coisas. Mas você não aprende coisas aleatórias, você aprende habilidades muito específicas que são específicas para o seu trabalho. Então, no ambiente ideal, o que você gostaria de ser capaz de fazer é para alguém, que pode ser seu gerente, podem ser seus colegas, pode ser por um agente de IA que diz: "Ei, Graham, para fazer seu trabalho melhor, você deve melhorar nas habilidades ABC e D" e eu digo: "Ótimo, por favor, me ajude a fazer isso." E então, idealmente, ele analisaria as habilidades que você tinha, todos os materiais disponíveis, incluindo especialistas potencialmente humanos que poderiam ajudar você - coortes - a mapear essas coisas juntas e então ajudá-lo em seu caminho alegre. Mas, esse processo de correspondência não é trivial, porque um departamento pode chamar uma habilidade específica de X, um departamento diferente chama de Y, um fornecedor educacional a chama de Z. Como você sabe que essas três coisas são todas realmente a mesma coisa? É possível fazer isso sem IA, mas exigiria um conjunto de conexões um-para-muitos bastante frágil. Enquanto uma IA pode se adaptar e é muito mais fluida em sua compreensão. E uma IA pode dizer: claro, X Y e Z são todas a mesma coisa - vou reunir todas essas coisas. Então a IA tem o potencial de quebrar muitas das barreiras para entender as habilidades, mapeá-las e, então, ajudar as pessoas a melhorarem as habilidades que precisam para seu trabalho. **Como a CYPHER Learning está ajudando empresas que querem usar educação baseada em habilidades?** Então, uma das coisas que estamos fazendo é tornar muito mais fácil criar conteúdo educacional novo e moderno e associá-lo a habilidades refinadas. O que quero dizer com habilidades refinadas é, digamos, se você criar um curso sobre marketing digital, você não quer dizer que este curso é apenas sobre marketing. Você também traz SEO, pagamento online e gerenciamento de marca. Então, cada avaliação, cada pergunta do questionário, cada vídeo, tudo é mapeado para essas habilidades. Então, ao fazer isso, se alguém passar pelo curso, você será capaz de descobrir sua compreensão de todas essas várias habilidades diferentes. Ao marcar essas coisas, as pessoas que têm uma deficiência em uma habilidade, que querem se tornar boas em uma habilidade, podem encontrar esses materiais muito, muito facilmente. E descobrimos que, sem usar IA, é um fardo muito, muito maior para a equipe de T&D criar materiais prontos para habilidades. Agora, estamos fazendo coisas ainda mais legais ao gerar dinamicamente conteúdo personalizado com base em seus requisitos de habilidade, falaremos mais sobre isso depois. Então, fique ligado. **O treinamento de IA é perda de tempo?** Eu diria que sim e não. Acho que é muito bom para as pessoas aprenderem o suficiente sobre uma IA para perceber que elas cometem erros, que você tem que ser persistente e conversar com elas para chegar onde você quer. Acho isso bom. Mas acho que gastar tempo treinando sobre como se tornar seu próprio engenheiro de prompt é, na maior parte, perda de tempo. Então, por exemplo, se você quer criar cursos em alguns minutos, você vai para nossa plataforma, você não precisa saber nada sobre engenharia de prompt. Você apenas diz, crie um curso sobre isso, preencha os espaços em branco e então diga "Vai". Então achamos que mais e mais IA será empacotada e gerenciada, então você não precisa saber muito sobre IA. Mas você precisa perceber que ela não é perfeita e você ainda está no controle. **NOVO: Usar IA é trapacear?** Depende. Vou te dar dois casos óbvios de trapaça: você tem um filho na escola. Ele recebe uma pergunta de dever de casa, coloca no ChatGPT, copia e cola, e não usa o cérebro. Obviamente, ele está trapaceando. Segundo, peço a um engenheiro um relatório diário e, em vez de realmente escrever o que ele fez, ele usa o ChatGPT, obviamente trapaceando. No entanto, existem alguns outros exemplos: digamos que você está no K-20, trabalhando em um projeto de conclusão de curso muito complicado, e você quer executá-lo com IA no final para melhorar seu estilo de escrita, etc. Isso não é trapacear. Isso é usar uma IA para potencializar o que seu cérebro já fez em grande parte. Ou, você é um desenvolvedor, está trabalhando em uma parte muito difícil da programação e há um trecho específico de código que você quer produzir. É um código bastante simples, mas você usa uma IA porque não quer gastar tempo para fazê-lo. Isso não é trapacear. Então, existem casos em que definitivamente é trapaça e outros em que definitivamente não é. **NOVO: Como vejo a evolução das habilidades humanas e da IA ​​no local de trabalho?** Eu acho que a IA certamente vai ficar cada vez melhor. O que significa que um ser humano que sabe como trabalhar em equipe com uma IA será capaz de ampliar sua produtividade enormemente. Mas também significa que humanos que não sabem como usar uma IA serão gradualmente deixados para trás em suas carreiras. Então eu acho que as IAs, e especialmente com o advento da tecnologia de agentes, definitivamente vão ficar melhores, elas serão cada vez mais produtivas quando em equipe com um humano que sabe utilizá-las. **NOVO: Os trabalhadores devem se preocupar com a implementação da IA ​​no local de trabalho?** Eu diria que, de modo geral, sim. Há algumas razões que me vêm à mente. Primeiro, essas IAs estão melhorando, o que significa que as pessoas terão que ficar cada vez mais em contato com habilidades modernas. E se você está em um local de trabalho que obviamente será completamente substituído pela IA, você precisa pensar em como usar suas habilidades e aplicá-las a uma indústria que é completamente aberta para trabalhadores humanos. Então eu diria que isso é óbvio. Eu diria que a segunda, que não é tão óbvia, é que algumas empresas são muito entusiasmadas com o uso de IA e seu chefe pode estar lhe dizendo "sim, use uma IA para isso", e você, como trabalhador experiente, pode estar dizendo "ainda não está pronto para isso, por favor, não faça isso". Então, acho que outro ponto é que as pessoas precisam reagir e talvez alertar a alta gerência se virem a IA sendo usada de maneiras inapropriadas, pelo menos neste momento. Tendências futuras e impactos IA **O que pensamos sobre a proposta da Declaração de Direitos sobre IA dos EUA?** No geral, pensamos que **faz todo o sentido** e que não há nada de estranho nisso. Para se ter uma ideia do que eles estão pensando, uma das questões é a **privacidade**. Portanto, se você for usar uma IA, você quer ter certeza de que ela não pegará todos os seus dados e os compartilhará com outras pessoas. Então isso faz sentido. Outra coisa está relacionada à **segurança nacional**. O governo vai trabalhar com fornecedores importantes, como OpenAI e Microsoft, para tentar dificultar ao máximo o uso de IA avançada para fins nefastos – como construir um agente biológico ou explodir um reator nuclear. Outra coisa que é muito importante é que não há dúvida de que as IAs serão cada vez mais usadas para calcular vários resultados algorítmicos que podem afetar seu cotidiano. Assim, por exemplo, você pode estar solicitando crédito, pode estar solicitando moradia e **queremos ter certeza de que as IAs não discriminam, direta ou indiretamente**, qualquer público específico, colocando-o assim em desvantagem. E o último está relacionado aos empregos. É bastante óbvio que a **IA irá substituir uma série de empregos nas próximas décadas**, mas idealmente, as pessoas nesses empregos específicos podem fazer a transição através de um processo de melhoria de competências para outros empregos. E uma das coisas que o **governo dos EUA quer fazer é tentar garantir que isso não aconteça de forma demasiado abrupta**, para dar às pessoas nesses empregos bastante tempo para fazerem a transição para outros cargos de trabalho. Portanto, no geral, consideramos a Declaração de Direitos da IA ​​dos EUA muito sensata e não vemos nenhum problema específico com ela. **A IA tem a capacidade de avaliar o desempenho humano ao longo do tempo?** **Eu diria que a resposta é sim**, mas com ressalvas. Vamos supor que a IA tenha acesso aos seus resultados - se você é um engenheiro, que tipo de código você escreve, se você é um escritor criativo, o texto que você escreve. Você certamente pode avaliar isso, não acho que haja nenhuma mágica envolvida nisso. Mas há um grande número de coisas que você faz durante o dia que realmente ajudam sua organização - **se você é divertido, tem uma ótima atitude, tem um bom espírito de equipe, está à altura do desafio quando os tempos difíceis chegarem**. Todos esses são detalhes que a IA provavelmente não terá acesso direto. Talvez alguém pudesse analisar isso, mas a menos que estejamos cercados por câmeras de segurança, eles não verão você às 22h da noite consertando aquele bug realmente difícil para um cliente importante. Então, acredito que sim, elas serão capazes de avaliar os resultados ao longo do tempo, **mas penso que a avaliação envolve muito mais do que apenas seus resultados**. **Quais os impactos no futuro da aprendizagem que ainda desconhecemos?** Vou usar alguns exemplos de escolas e universidades, mas que também se aplicam igualmente a empresas. Atualmente, a maioria das pessoas não fala muito sobre os **assistentes pessoais**. O que quero dizer com assistente pessoal é um recurso que sabe muito sobre você, que o ajuda, que está disponível 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana e que se ajusta continuamente aos seus objetivos e às suas interações com o assistente. Digamos que você esteja interessado em um tópico específico e fale com seu assistente e diga: “Ei, você pode me contar um pouco mais sobre X?” Então o assistente sabe agora que você está interessado em X. Ele tem acesso a toda a internet, sabe que pode encontrar muitos assuntos interessantes relacionados ao tópico assim que interagir com você. Se ficar com a sensação de que você não entendeu muito bem, pode dizer: “Ei, deixe-me explicar isso de uma maneira diferente”. E uma semana depois, pode dizer: “Só quero fazer um teste rápido para você ver se se lembra”. Que, aliás, é algo que faço pelos meus filhos, então sou como o assistente pessoal deles, se você quiser colocar assim. Você pode comparar isso com um ambiente de aprendizagem tradicional, onde você passa de professor para professor, depois muda de escola, ou no mundo de T&D, onde você aprende uma variedade de assuntos em uma organização, depois muda para outra da mesma área, ou ingressa em um negócio diferente, etc. **Tudo está mudando constantemente**. Mas com o assistente pessoal, isso não importa porque é algo exclusivamente seu. Ele não se reporta à empresa em si. Outro ponto é **que você terá acesso a muitas informações** que estão na internet em tempo real. Portanto, se houver um novo assunto ou um novo material relacionado, ele poderá informá-lo em até 10 minutos. Tente fazer isso na escola. Sobre a **nova geração da IA**, no caso dos meus filhos por exemplo, eles já estão começando a interagir com a IA e gostando. **Acho que eles esperarão essa forma de personalização e interação detalhada**. Há sempre o perigo de que, se eles forem para a escola, universidade ou empresa e a organização não estiver nem um pouco atualizada, eles se sentirão quase na idade das trevas e eu simplesmente voltarei ao meu assistente pessoal confiável. Penso que isso será **um grande negócio no mundo da educação**. **O ChatGPT diminui o desempenho do aluno na sala de aula?** Realmente **depende de como eles estão usando**. Se você ministrar a aula da mesma maneira que sempre fez, fizer o mesmo tipo de perguntas e os alunos puderem simplesmente se virar e usar o ChatGPT para encontrar rapidamente uma resposta, então sim, provavelmente deixará os alunos preguiçosos ainda mais preguiçosos. **Isso causa problemas, pois se você estiver ensinando da mesma maneira de sempre enquanto as pessoas usam IA**, estará prestando um péssimo serviço a elas. O que você precisa fazer é **criar um conjunto muito mais complexo de tarefas para eles fazerem, que os fará pensar profundamente sobre como usar uma IA**. Como faço para atingir esse nível de desempenho muito mais alto? Nessas situações, os alunos têm que **pensar criativamente** sobre como **interagir** com a IA, porque se eu apenas copiar e colar algo e estiver obviamente errado, isso fará com que o aluno fique mal. Há muitas coisas que eles precisam fazer, mas como eu disse, acho que a principal responsabilidade recairá sobre o **professor ou instrutor para elevar o nível de desafio esperado**, para não permitir que as pessoas fiquem mentalmente preguiçosas. **Qual é a relação entre IA e habilidades sociais?** Um ponto que muitas vezes não é ressaltado é o fato de que **você interage com muitas pessoas diferentes durante** um dia, seja conversando com um escritor que está tentando decidir sobre qual ângulo específico abordar um assunto, ou se acontecer de você precisar de serviços médicos, pode encontrar pessoas que trabalham no pronto-socorro, ou um neurocirurgião. Posso pensar em muitas pessoas com quem você interage, **e o local e a maneira como elas interagem com você é crucial para ambos os resultados**. Se eu entro no pronto-socorro e tem um médico sem empatia, rude e que não vê que estou com muita dor e preciso ter prioridade, então obviamente vou ficar muito insatisfeito. Considero que tive algumas interações muito positivas com a profissão médica, onde eles fazem você se sentir muito à vontade, entendem seu ponto, dão prioridade quando é necessário, etc. E isso é uma grande parte de ser um profissional de sucesso. Eu acredito que as habilidades interpessoais sempre foram muito importantes. Acho que agora as pessoas estão começando a dizer: “Ei, qual é a diferença entre mim e alguma IA?” Um dos principais destaques é o aspecto das **habilidades interpessoais**. Acho que muitas pessoas ao redor do mundo estarão bastante motivadas para melhorar suas habilidades interpessoais. Curiosamente, o **software desenvolvido com IA pode ser uma das maneiras de acelerar sua capacidade de ter habilidades interpessoais muito boas**. Sei que na CYPHER estamos trabalhando muito com organizações e escolas para usar a **aprendizagem baseada em competências para medir habilidades interpessoais e atingir áreas específicas de pontos fortes e fracos**. Penso que sim, esses pontos estão definitivamente relacionados e acredito que **haverá muito mais ênfase nas habilidades interpessoais como resultado do ressurgimento da IA**. **O CYPHER Copilot ajudará os alunos?** Portanto, a pergunta de hoje é “Eu sei que CYPHER Copilot faz um trabalho incrível ao me permitir **criar aulas modernas e envolventes em minutos**. No entanto, você vê um momento em que o Copilot irá, além disso, ajudar o aluno a reconhecer seu talento, a aprender muito mais rapidamente e ajudá-lo em sua jornada educacional? A resposta é absolutamente sim! O que você está descrevendo é **conhecido como assistente**. A CYPHER Learning se dedica a desenvolver nossa funcionalidade Copilot para incluir exatamente esse tipo de recurso. **O que é um assistente pessoal e o que ele fará por você?** De modo geral, **assistente é algo que irá operar de forma autônoma em seu nome**. Então não é o caso de fazer uma pergunta e ser respondido. Você basicamente pode dizer: “Ei, quero aprender sobre todos os tipos de tópicos” e então ele funcionará como um pequeno esquilo 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, caçando informações, servindo-as, fazendo sugestões. Nós acreditamos que os assistentes são o futuro da IA, e muitas outras pessoas concordam, então esta não é apenas a minha opinião pessoal. Atuamos no setor educacional, por isso **estamos trabalhando arduamente para levar o poder dos assistentes pessoais aos educadores**. E isso se aplicaria a ambos os alunos. Então, como ajudar um aluno em sua jornada educacional? Mas também ajudar educadores que desejam criar materiais envolventes, e um assistente também pode trabalhar em seu nome. **Quais são as implicações para o futuro da tecnologia e do trabalho?** Turnitin anunciou recentemente que seria capaz de reduzir significativamente o tamanho de sua equipe de desenvolvimento e substituir vários engenheiros por IA. Eu tenho alguns pontos a comentar sobre isso. Então, em primeiro lugar, vamos tirar completamente a IA da cena. **A melhor maneira de desenvolver softwares de forma eficiente é ter pequenas equipes de pessoas realmente experientes** que criam estruturas reutilizáveis e **utilizam as ferramentas mais avançadas**, para que um pequeno número de pessoas possa fazer muito mais. São equipes de alto desempenho e esse é o tipo de equipe que temos aqui na CYPHER Learning. Certamente existem equipes de desenvolvimento que não adotaram as melhores e mais atualizadas boas práticas, possuem mais engenheiros menos talentosos, digamos, desenvolvendo um amontoado de itens medíocres que poderiam ser trabalhados de uma forma muito mais eficiente. E acho que se você tem uma engenharia organizada dessa forma, então certamente é possível reduzir um pouco a equipe por meio de IA. Mas eu acredito que, neste caso, a IA é como uma cortina de fumaça. Creio que você normalmente reduziria essa equipe de engenharia de qualquer maneira, se fosse tão facilmente substituível pela IA. Na CYPHER Learning não há absolutamente nenhuma possibilidade de substituirmos alguém de nossa equipe de engenharia pela IA, porque eles são muito habilidosos, **mas usam IA diariamente para tornar sua produtividade mais eficiente**. **Como a IA impactará os alunos graduados que ingressam no mercado de trabalho?** Acho que **quase qualquer trabalho no mercado pode se beneficiar da IA**, a menos que seja servir hambúrgueres no comércio local. Mas acho que é muito importante que as pessoas que ingressam no mercado de trabalho sejam bem versadas em como usar a IA desde o início. **Na CYPHER Learning, esperamos que a maioria das pessoas neste momento use IA para se tornar mais produtiva**. E eu ficaria bastante preocupado se houvesse um colaborador em quase qualquer posição que não estivesse usando IA. Então você não quer ser aquele estudante de pós-graduação sem noção conseguindo um novo emprego e todo mundo está usando IA ao seu redor e você não tem certeza do que se trata. Eu diria que isso definitivamente o tornará mais produtivo, mas você não quer ser aquela pessoa que não sabe usar IA. **Como você pode usar a IA para garantir que os novos colaboradores recebam o treinamento de que precisam?** Existem alguns pontos. Em primeiro lugar, vejamos a palavra garantir. Existem muitos produtos e cursos por aí que vão te ensinar coisas genéricas, como marketing ou vendas. Mas a maioria das empresas que pretende garantir que alguém tenha essa formação pretende ter algum grau de rastreabilidade até às competências individuais. Assim, dentro do marketing, por exemplo, pode haver 30 ou 40 habilidades diferentes que você deseja garantir que alguém realmente entenda e domine, e não apenas fazer um curso no qual talvez não tenha entendido nada. Eu diria que **adotar uma metodologia de treinamento baseada em habilidades, onde todo o conteúdo, educação, material, questionários e avaliações estão vinculados às habilidades, é uma forma realmente importante** de garantir que eles as dominem. Agora, para fazer isso rapidamente, na CYPHER Learning temos uma tecnologia - **CYPHER Copilot**, que não deve ser confundido com Microsoft Copilot, aliás. O que **permite que a equipe de T&D seja capaz de criar esses cursos em cerca de 10 minutos, totalmente vinculados às habilidades**. Caso contrário, é um trabalho um tanto dispendioso. Mas quero que todos saibam que atualmente existem ferramentas baseadas em IA que podem criar esses cursos realmente envolventes que estão vinculados às habilidades. Também direi que, em breve, acho que você começará a ver diretamente o aluno no mercado, onde alguém que não tem acesso a um curso ou não está inclinado a fazê-lo, pode se envolver com uma IA, aprender essas novos habilidades e tê-las ligadas às competências de uma forma que a sua aprendizagem e compreensão sejam realmente garantidas. Portanto, fique ligado em breve no CYPHER Learning. **Qual é o estado atual da IA?** Meu ponto de vista é que, neste momento, existe todo um sistema de IA com capacidades semelhantes. Seja ChatGPT 4.0 ou Anthropic Claude, ou o Gemini do Google. Mas eles estão todos no mesmo patamar, não há nada que represente um grande rompimento ou um grande avanço. **Acho que todos na indústria de IA esperam um avanço em breve**. Houve vários vazamentos sobre um ChatGPT 5.0, uma nova versão do Google Gemini, etc. Acho que você os verá em breve ficarem mais precisos, com menos alucinações e um raciocínio muito melhor e mais poderoso. Eu li em algum lugar que há um cara que é especialista em eletrônica e uma das coisas que ele faz para descobrir o quão boa é uma IA é projetar uma peça complicada de dispositivos eletrônicos com todos os resistores e capacitores e tudo mais. Esse cara aparentemente tropeçou em uma versão inicial da próxima versão do ChatGPT e disse que eles fizeram um trabalho incrível e nenhuma outra IA havia feito isso antes. Então, acho que em breve você verá uma função escalonada, verá os preços continuarem caindo no básico. Você verá uma síntese de vídeo muito mais poderosa, uma síntese de imagem muito mais poderosa. **Acho que todas essas coisas vão acontecer nos próximos 6 a 9 meses. Mas acho que a maior onda será em direção aos assistentes de IA**, que foi o assunto de uma postagem anterior no LinkedIn. **Existem diferentes agentes que você pode usar?** A resposta é sim. De forma geral, você pode pensar em um espectro. Em um extremo, você tem um agente que pode realizar tarefas para você, mas não necessariamente gastar seu dinheiro ou fazer algo como reservar um voo, em comparação com agentes muito autônomos em casos onde você dá a eles a liberdade de abrir sua carteira e comprar coisas. Por hora achamos que o agente básico, pelo menos por enquanto, será muito mais popular e comum. Esse é o tipo de agente em que estamos trabalhando agora. **Qual é a diferença entre copiloto e agente?** Um copiloto é algo que você normalmente faz em equipe em uma tarefa. É literalmente como se você estivesse pilotando o avião e seu copiloto estivesse ao seu lado. Então, por exemplo, se você estiver usando a plataforma CYPHER para construir um curso, chamamos isso de copiloto porque você está construindo o curso com a ajuda de uma IA. Os agentes, por outro lado, são normalmente um pouco mais autônomos. Você pode dar a eles uma tarefa e pode levar uma hora, um dia, uma semana para concluí-la. E embora eles provavelmente entrem em contato com você, apenas para informá-lo do que está acontecendo. Eles são muito mais autônomos do que um copiloto. E na CYPHER, estamos realmente trabalhando em tecnologia de agentes enquanto falamos. Então, fique ligado para mais informações. **Por que as IAs com status são importantes?** Uma IA com status é particularmente importante quando você está falando sobre agentes, porque no caso de um agente, você recebe um objetivo. Pode ser reservar umas férias adoráveis em Barbados ou algo assim, e ele vai saber todos os passos que são necessários. Ele vai do passo um para o passo dois para o passo três. Ele sempre sabe onde está em relação ao objetivo final. Você estará no circuito. Então você faz parte do objetivo do agente com status. Enquanto para um copiloto, normalmente não há necessidade de status. Há uma tarefa curta e você termina e pronto. Então é por isso que o status é muito importante, especialmente com relação aos agentes de IA. **Como a CYPHER Learning se mantém à frente na indústria de EdTech em rápida evolução?** Tenho que dizer que não acho que a indústria de tecnologia esteja evoluindo rapidamente. Quer dizer, sabemos quem são nossos concorrentes e eles parecem estar se movendo bem devagar, para ser honesto com você. A maneira como inovamos não se baseia na rapidez com que qualquer outra pessoa está inovando. Somos muito apaixonados por onde achamos que o futuro está indo e estamos construindo o mais rápido que podemos, independentemente de como todos os outros estão se saindo. Mas temos que dizer que quando olhamos ao redor, parece que muitas empresas estão se movendo bem devagar agora. **Como os avanços recentes em IA generativa impactarão a Edtech?** A IA está se movendo tão rápido que "recente" pode ser ontem, pelo que eu sei, mas direi que houve muitos avanços na geração de vídeo. Então, em breve, você verá vídeos em tempo real ensinando quase tudo, sem precisar ir ao YouTube, por exemplo. Eles podem ser personalizados, podem até ser feitos com sua voz ou seu rosto - vai ser bem louco. O aspecto do raciocínio está ficando cada vez mais forte. Vocês provavelmente já ouviram falar do Projeto Strawberry. E então esperamos ver mais alguns avanços lá. O raciocínio avançado significa que os agentes de IA podem se tornar mais inteligentes. Então, eles poderão ajudá-lo de maneiras muito mais profundas, para ajudá-lo a aprender o que quer que você queira aprender. E também acho que o desempenho do preço é incrível. Sabe, reduzimos os preços do Copilot em cerca de 30% na semana passada e está ficando mais rápido. Seu suporte multilíngue está aumentando. Então os preços continuarão caindo, o que torna isso mais acessível a todos os nossos clientes. **NOVO: Como vejo a IA sendo usada em outros setores fora da área de aprendizagem?** A IA está sendo basicamente muito, muito útil em praticamente todas as indústrias, até onde eu sei. Mas uma área em particular seria a descoberta de medicamentos. A descoberta de medicamentos tem sido tipicamente uma questão de tentativa e erro. E graças a inovações como AlphaFold dos laboratórios de pesquisa do Google e outras iniciativas da OpenAI, eles estão usando IA para acelerar cada vez mais a descoberta de medicamentos e torná-la uma abordagem muito mais direcionada em vez de uma abordagem de tentativa e erro. Então, é um exemplo em que acho que a IA pode fazer um trabalho incrível. E seria muito, muito difícil para os seres humanos serem tão sofisticados em termos de descoberta de medicamentos sem usar IA. **NOVO: Qual é o maior equívoco sobre IA em minha opinião?** Eu diria que o maior equívoco é que as pessoas assumem que sempre haverá alucinações e erros. Agora, é sempre possível cometer um erro. Mas essas IAs estão ficando cada vez melhores e aprimorando suas respostas. E se você tem acompanhado a OpenAI, ontem, eles lançaram o modelo o1, que na versão profissional pode pensar até um minuto antes de dar uma resposta. Então, acho que não vai demorar muito até que as IAs cometam muito menos erros do que costumavam. Nunca chegará a zero, mas será muito, muito mais preciso do que até mesmo um especialista humano. **NOVO: Qual é minha maior previsão para a IA em 2025?** Qual é minha maior previsão para IA em 2025? Posso resumir em três palavras: agentes, agentes, agentes. Vou dar um exemplo da indústria de aprendizagem, que é obviamente da qual a CYPHER faz parte. No passado, as pessoas não eram necessariamente tão boas em aprendizagem autodirigida. Elas não tinham certeza do que realmente precisavam, ou de como estudar adequadamente. Os gerentes podem ter dificuldade em rastrear o que seus alunos estão fazendo para lhes dar recomendações. Mas a IA é muito boa nisso. Se ela sabe o que você quer da sua carreira, se ela sabe no que você é bom e com o que você precisa de ajuda, então ela pode criar uma trilha de aprendizagem personalizada, ou gerar conteúdo personalizado só para você. Se você é um gerente, ela pode rastrear automaticamente o que está acontecendo com todos os seus funcionários, quão bem eles estão se saindo e onde precisam de ajuda. E tudo isso pode ser feito proativamente por um agente de IA. Estamos trabalhando com afinco na tecnologia de agentes. Teremos o primeiro agente de aprendizagem sendo lançado muito em breve, mas muito do que faremos em 2025 é aplicar IA proativa na forma de agentes a todas as partes interessadas que usam a plataforma CYPHER.

It found that failure to comply costs businesses $1.6M per year on average, with the most common causes of policy breaches being employees either not knowing or not understanding the rules – yet educating staff remains a comparative afterthought. The survey of 400 HR and business leaders across the US and UK found that nearly nine in ten (88%) of respondents agree that greater employee accountability would mitigate business risks. However, 71% believe staff don’t ‘get’ the importance of policies and procedures, so engagement is an ongoing battle – with 68% saying getting workers to comply with policies is a major headache. Furthermore: - **Unknown risks:** Almost three-quarters (71%) of respondents think staff are likely breaking rules, but often don’t know until something goes wrong – with policies relating to HR, data sharing, and health and safety being the areas people believe employees are most likely to cut corners. - **Lack of time and resources:**98% of respondents believe employees would be more likely to understand and comply with policies and procedures if training was more engaging. However, 87% said barriers such as a lack of time, funding, and urgency prevent them from making training more engaging. - **A growing problem:** In the past three years, organizations have created or updated policies and procedures to cover topics such cybersecurity, social media, hybrid working, sustainability, data bias and AI. But 74% of respondents said although they should be regularly updating policies and procedures, realistically they don’t have the time. Graham Glass, CEO of CYPHER Learning, said: “From shifting regulations to the introduction of new technologies, new threats and evolving societal norms; what was acceptable or trusted one year may not be the next. It’s hard to keep up. But lack of policy compliance – or failure to have a policy in place – can quickly result in reputational damage, injury, fines, revenue loss, reduced productivity, or even legal action. These costs are just the tip of the iceberg. Policy breaches can manifest in several ways that fly under the radar and chip away at revenues.” One of the issues highlighted by the research was a lack of investment and focus on making training around policies and procedures more engaging. Less than half (44%) of budgets assigned to policies and procedures is spent on employee education – equating to just $105,000 per year on average. Meanwhile, 66% of respondents admitted employee education is often an afterthought, with 62% complaining that training in this area is “one of the most boring things” they have to do.  The research also showed that: - Email updates and company newsletters (47%) are the most common ways employees learn policies and procedures. - Less than half (45%) of companies conduct online training. Fewer still (31%) create explainer videos or interactive, gamified training experiences (26%) to drive the message . - Only 56% of companies continually educate employees on policies, with 65% admitting to treating training as a ‘one-and-done information dump’ during the onboarding process. - Less than half the companies surveyed (44%) test employees’ knowledge to ensure they have fully understood a procedure, or educate them on the purpose of each policy to aid understanding (45%). - Even fewer (37%) tailor guidance to individual competencies and job roles to ensure relevancy. Graham Glass, CEO of CYPHER Learning: “Reducing risk and increasing employee engagement go hand in hand. Making learning more interactive and engaging has been proven to increase information retention and engagement.

And deciding which platform to use to introduce AI can feel daunting. But the benefits of doing it right far outweigh any challenges. Whether you’re just starting out with AI and are taking baby steps, or you’re already well underway and want to get an LMS that’s up to your level, CYPHER Learning is the AI-powered learning platform you need. Our fully integrated AI, [CYPHER Agent](/ai-360), meets you where you are and helps you take the next steps with confidence. ## If you’re nervous AI but don’t think it can be avoided If you don’t really trust or understand AI, you’re not alone. According to a recent global KPMG study, over half (54%) are wary AI. You may be looking at infusing AI into your training initiatives because it’s a top-down mandate, or because you think it’s inevitable, but you have concerns accuracy, privacy, and quality. CYPHER can help. ## How CYPHER helps Quality Many platforms offer AI content generation, but only CYPHER Agent does step-by-step course creation. This means that you can use as much or as little AI as you feel comfortable with, and inspect the results at every step. For example, start by using Agent to create a course outline based on best educational practice and create the rest yourself. You can expand your use into other time-consuming areas like adding gamification to your course, or creating short quizzes. Content accuracy We’ve carefully configured CYPHER Agent to reduce risk of bias, hallucinations, or inaccuracies, but we’ve also added a safeguard–AI Crosscheck. Any content generated by CYPHER Agent is crosschecked by another independent AI system that flags any hallucinations or inaccuracies for the user. No other AI content creation tool does this and it increases the validity of the content exponentially. Privacy Our relationship with our AI providers guarantees that the proprietary material that you use to build courses and your interactions with the solution will never be used to train the model or leave your CYPHER instance. The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within CYPHER. You can set which topics or subject areas are off limits and you can monitor which prompts are being used and by whom to confirm that the solution is being used appropriately. ## Get quick AI wins Here are a couple of quick, safe AI wins you can get with CYPHER: - Generate course outlines, but build the course content yourself. - Automatically gamify your course. - Create quizzes and tests based on your content. ## See how it works You can easily get started with AI without sacrificing the learning management support that you need to manage your programs–customer onboarding, partner certification, skills development and more. CYPHER Learning is an award-winning LMS that empowers you to streamline your administrative work with robust automation, flexible content support, and personalizable learning paths.

However, when it comes to privacy and security, not all AI services are created equal. The distinctions between free and paid generative AI services are crucial, particularly in how they handle data. Here’s a closer look at the key differences: ## 1. AI data usage and privacy policies **Free services:** Free generative AI services often collect and utilize user data for various purposes, such as improving the service, developing new features, and even advertising. These services usually have privacy policies that allow for broader data usage compared to their paid counterparts. **Paid services:**In contrast, paid AI services typically offer more stringent privacy policies and provide users with better control over their data. Enterprise-level agreements may include specific clauses designed to protect data privacy and ensure regulatory compliance. ## 2. AI data ownership and rights **Free services:** The for free AI tools might grant providers extensive rights to use and analyze your data. This could include permissions to share data with third parties or use it for training models. **Paid services:** Paid AI services generally offer more control over data ownership, often including agreements that restrict the provider’s ability to use or share data without explicit consent from the user. ## 3. AI security measures **Free services:**While robust security measures might still be in place, free AI services typically do not offer the same level of security features, such as dedicated support, advanced encryption options, or compliance with industry standards. **Paid services:**Paid AI options frequently come with enhanced security features, including adherence to regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. They may also offer additional security controls and continuous monitoring to safeguard user data. ## 4. AI support and accountability **Free services:** Support for free AI services is usually limited, often relying on community forums or basic help articles. The accountability for data breaches or misuse tends to be lower. **Paid services:**Paid AI services generally include dedicated support and clear accountability structures, ensuring a higher level of responsibility for maintaining data privacy and security. ## 5. AI transparency and compliance **Free services:** Providers of free AI services may lack transparency in data handling practices and compliance with privacy regulations. The absence of a formal agreement can lead to ambiguity regarding data management. **Paid services:**Paid AI services usually offer greater transparency and are more likely to comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements. They often provide detailed documentation and assurances their data handling practices. In summary, while free generative AI services can be both useful and convenient, they often come with trade-offs in terms of privacy and data security. For those who prioritize privacy, especially when dealing with sensitive or proprietary data, it is essential to thoroughly review the , privacy policies, and security features of any free service. In many instances, opting for a paid service can provide better control, enhanced security, and greater peace of mind regarding data privacy. By understanding these differences, users can make more informed decisions which generative AI services best meet their needs while ensuring the highest standards of data privacy and security. ## Who should use free services? - **Individuals and small teams:** Comfortable with broader data usage policies and fewer privacy controls. - **Casual users:**Experimenting with AI tools for personal projects. - **Cost-conscious users:**Prioritize cost savings over stringent data privacy. ## Who should use paid services? - **Businesses and enterprises:**Require strict data privacy controls and regulatory compliance. - **Privacy-conscious users:** Need greater control over data and stringent privacy policies. - **Professional use cases:**Require reliable, secure AI services for sensitive applications (e.g., legal, medical, financial industries).

Why shop around for a new and more customizable LMS option? There are several reasons why you might be in the market for an alternative. ### User experience Some users find Absorb LMS’s interface less intuitive compared to other platforms. A more user-friendly interface can enhance the overall learning experience and improve both engagement and results for your learning community. ### Engagement challenges Engaging learners is crucial for successful training programs. Some alternatives offer better gamification and social learning features that boost engagement and motivation. Integrating leadership development within LMS platforms can also significantly improve learner interactions by fostering a strong learning culture and facilitating internal mobility initiatives. ### Complex pricing structures Absorb LMS might be an expensive choice, especially for small to mid-sized businesses that are still in the growth or startup phase. Consider alternatives with more transparent and flexible pricing models. ### Limited customization options Customization is key to creating a seamless learning experience. Some alternatives offer more extensive customization options, allowing you to tailor the platform to your organization’s specific needs. ## Factors to Consider When Choosing an LMS The ability to create and manage effective training courses is crucial. Look for platforms that offer ease of use, customization options, and the ability to track training progress, which can significantly enhance your employee training programs. When evaluating LMS platforms, keep the following factors in mind: ### Easy customization Flexibility and customization of the training process are also important. Choose an LMS that allows you to tailor training experiences and incorporate engaging elements, such as gamification, to improve the effectiveness and enjoyment of the training. ### Scalability Ensure the platform can scale with your organization as it grows or increases revenue. Being able to scale efficiently means that you can eventually accommodate more users, add external partners, or even incorporate additional features as needed. ### User support and training Look for platforms that offer robust support and training resources to help you get the most out of the system. If your team lacks a dedicated technologist or developer, make sure that your chosen platform provides easy, out-of-the-box solutions with a lower learning curve. ### Budget and cost-effectiveness Consider the total cost of ownership, including subscription fees, pricing structure, implementation costs, and any additional expenses for add-ons or integrations. Audit your existing learning and development needs (and budget) to ensure that you receive and pay for what you need.  ### Compliance and security features Your chosen LMS platform should meet your organization’s compliance requirements. Check for high uptime, advanced security measures to protect sensitive data, and reliability in the event of any major incidents. ## Implementation and onboarding best practices [Implementing a new learning management system](/blog/business/lms-implementation-guide-steps-and-best-practices-for-first-class-learning) or LMS requires careful planning and execution to ensure a smooth onboarding process. Here are some strategies to consider: ### Define clear learning objectives Clearly define the goals and objectives of the implementation project, including the desired outcomes, timelines, and resources required. This will provide a roadmap for the entire process and ensure everyone is on the same page. ### Conduct a needs assessment and project plan Perform a thorough needs assessment to identify the organization’s training needs, existing infrastructure, and technical requirements. This will help tailor the LMS to meet specific organizational needs and ensure it aligns with your training objectives. Then, develop a detailed project plan, including milestones, timelines, and responsibilities, to ensure a smooth implementation process. A well-structured plan will help manage the project efficiently and keep it on track. ### Provide internal training and support Extend comprehensive training and support to administrators, instructors, and learners to ensure they are comfortable using the platform. This can include training sessions, user guides, and ongoing support to address any issues that arise. ### Test, validate, and monitor Take your new platform for a spin. Ensure that it meets the organization’s requirements and is functioning as expected. This step is crucial to identify and resolve any issues before the full rollout. Continuously monitor and evaluate the platform’s performance, gathering feedback from users and making adjustments as needed. Regular evaluation will help ensure the LMS remains effective and continues to meet the organization’s needs. By following these best practices, organizations can ensure a successful implementation and onboarding process, setting themselves up for success with their new learning management system. ## Find the right LMS for individual and organizational growth Choosing the right LMS is a crucial decision that can significantly impact your organization’s learning and development initiatives—while helping you close relevant skill gaps.  Always know and explore your options, and consider factors such as scalability, user support, and budget.  Ready to launch?

Between all the **social media postings**, **pop-up ads**, and all the **notifications** on the devices students use daily, being focused can be quite an endeavor. So what can one do? Well, hats off to technology, and all the **productivity apps**, **online tools**, and **browser extensions** that help us stay focused. Here are just 10 free extensions that can easily be added to the browser a student is using when learning. 1. ### Stay Focusd This is a productivity extension that helps you… stay focused on your work. It **limits the time spent on various sites** such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, CollegeHumor, BuzzFeed and so on. Stay Focusd is highly customizable – the user decides the maximum time in a day they can access certain websites and can also choose how long the “banned” period should be. 2. ### SpeakIt! This one is really genius. **It reads text to you**. Some students are auditory learners, so they prefer to listen to something they have to learn instead of reading it. This extension is very useful for dyslexic and visually challenged students, because when they also hear the words they see on a page, they actually learn to read or improve their reading abilities. 3. ### TimeStats This handy extension **monitors how much time the user spends on one website** or another, and creates a colorful chart to depict this information. Students can use this extension if they want to be aware of the amount of time they spend on time-wasting websites instead of studying. 4. ### Google Similar Pages This extension is quite helpful and time-saving for anyone doing online research, especially when you have a hard time finding what you need and are out of new ideas. What it does? When you’re on a useful website for your research and have this extension active, it **suggests new webpages with similar content**. 5. ### Adblock Plus Probably the most famous browser extension ever. AdBlock Plus is great for everyone who spends time online and wants to focus on the content of a certain page **without getting distracted by annoying ads**. It prevents ads from showing up right in the middle of the content they are reading, so they can focus better on it and learn. 6. ### Adblock for YouTube As many learning materials come in the form of educational videos on YouTube, students spend quite a lot of time there. Ads that show up at the beginning of a video are just as annoying as those on regular webpages. So AdBlock created an extension that specifically **removes unwanted and time-wasting video ads on YouTube**. 7. ### CleanPrint Some students like to handle text on a piece of paper. They can highlight keywords, paragraphs and make annotations on the margins. So they print at least a part of their online learning materials. CleanPrint **helps them edit the articles on a webpage before they print or save to PDF**, by removing the ads or pop-ups, resizing pictures, and even adding comments and notes. 8. ### Dropbox for Gmail When it comes to e-learning, all teaching and learning materials come in a digital format. Dropbox is a safe place for keeping online documents, videos, audio files, presentations, and any other sort of project you are working on. The Dropbox for Gmail browser extension makes everything just one click away. **You can send and preview Dropbox files without leaving your Gmail window**. 9. ### The Great Suspender Everyone is guilty of opening up too many tabs at once. Sometimes, it really is necessary. For example, a student can have their online course open in one tab, the current lesson in another, the assignment in another, some research materials in another two to ten, and so on. The Great Suspender solves this issue by **suspending inactive tabs**. It automatically unloads each tab while keeping its favicon and title text. 10. ### Save to Pocket The internet is full of interesting information, but we don’t have time to read it all. Some websites get a spot in a bookmarks folder, but this isn’t always the best way to handle all the useful things we find online. With Save to Pocket, students can **save articles, videos and pretty much any learning material directly from the browser or social media app**.

Alongside these emerging technologies, many are already integrating tools like [augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR)](/blog/k-20/7-ways-to-explore-and-create-with-augmented-and-virtual-reality), and artificial intelligence (AI) into our classrooms and daily lives. As educators, it's critical to stay ahead of these changes in order to prepare students for a tech-centered future. Understanding and incorporating these concepts, even if they don't directly relate to the current subject matter or grade level, is essential. A recent [Jobs of Tomorrow report](https://www.weforum.org/reports/jobs-of-tomorrow-mapping-opportunity-in-the-new-economy) highlights a significant rise in job opportunities requiring expertise in emerging fields. The landscape of work and education is shifting, and as we transition to Web 3.0, or Web3, embracing these changes and preparing students for the new digital era is more impactful than ever. ## Key takeaways Here’s what you can expect to learn in this Web3 resource: - **Understand web evolution:** Recognize Web3 as the new chapter of tech, advancing from Web 1.0's static content to Web 2.0's interactive capabilities to a decentralized, blockchain-based Web3 with greater user control. - **Embrace decentralization:** Note how Web3 reduces centralized control, enhancing privacy and user autonomy compared to Web 2.0. - **Transform educational journeys:** Learn how Web3 enables learning in the metaverse, provides digital twins for teachers, and stores academic records on the blockchain, enhancing accessibility and interactivity. - **Expand access:** Break geographical and financial barriers with Web3 to provide quality education regardless of location or cost, and ease rising higher education expenses. - **Prepare educators at every level:** Stay informed emerging technologies, join communities like Ed3 DAO, and further support Web3’s integration to education. ## What exactly is Web3? Web3 is the next phase of the internet. It amplifies everything we can now do online by bringing in additional technologies and functionalities. Unlike predecessors, Web3 emphasizes decentralization and gives users more control over their data and interactions. This new process can be beneficial when working with cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Overall, Web3 has the potential to transform how we interact, learn, and collaborate online. ### Web 1.0 The first version of the Web was limited to having a static page where you could review content, download files, and print information. It lacked the possibility of personal interaction. Although Web 1.0 was an improvement from earlier computers and programs, it was limited in scope. Like many technologies, as new features were introduced, the programming gradually improved as new options became available. ### Web 2.0 Building on the capabilities of the first version of the web, the second version, Web 2.0, added the ability to interact with others. Rather than just being a “read only” experience, it was more of a “read and write” experience. Through Web 2.0, we saw the inception of social media networks, communication channels and chat platforms, online shopping and banking, and new educational opportunities. Many large corporations– such as Amazon, Apple, Google and even Facebook–were deeply involved in crafting this version of the web. It’s in this version that businesses and individuals began to connect globally in a matter of seconds. ### Web 3.0 Now, as we begin to experience this third phase, we have all of the components of the prior version but with many exciting and emerging technologies. Unlike Web 2.0 which has been actively monitored and regulated, the new version is set to become a decentralized space available on blockchain. Now, Web3 is being referred to as a “read, write, own” version of the internet, rather than simply the “read” or “read and write” from versions past. ## How is Web3 different from previous versions? In Web3, the focus is on having more freedom to create and interact without the centralized control of a single service provider. It relies on feedback and input from multiple users. Unlike past versions, Web3 uses blockchain technology to distribute power and data ownership among users. This shift is what empowers enhanced privacy, security, and transparency. It also allows innovators to use tech like cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to reshape how people interact online. ## What is the impact of Web3 on education? When it comes to the web, educators rely on many technologies and digital tools. Right now, these providers are making their content available in the centralized space of Web 2.0. With Web3, companies could start to provide unique content that reshapes educational delivery. ### Attending classes in the metaverse For instance, some schools could host classes in the metaverse. In addition to having a physical classroom space, teachers could have a digital twin, an avatar that can go into digital spaces. A digital avatar could possibly help students to feel more connected to the teacher while learning outside the classroom. Students would also have a digital wallet on the blockchain where academic information is stored throughout their [K-12 experience](https://www.forbes.com/sites/phyllislockett/2022/06/15/how-web3ed3-and-immersive-technologies-signal-a-new-era-for-k-12-education/). ### Making education more accessible for students Depending on the location of schools, course availability, or students’ financial needs, there are many potential benefits of the metaverse and increased opportunities through Web3. More students would gain access to schools and learning environments outside of their own region. If there were cost-prohibitive barriers in place, Web3 would also solve for those. ### Increasing access to higher education opportunities To combat rising educational costs at post-secondary institutions, [metaverse experiences](https://digitalcommunications.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2021/03/11/how-web-3-0-will-impact-higher-education/) would also facilitate more affordable opportunities for students. Already, a few higher education institutions have announced the [plan to open ten metaversities](https://www.auganix.org/victoryxr-announces-ten-metaversities-to-launch-in-the-us-this-fall/). Additionally, companies like [Proof of Learn](https://proof-of-learn.vercel.app/) (a new Web3 platform) focus on making high-tech education accessible to students through blockchain. Their vision is to ensure that everyone who can connect to the internet has the ability to unlock online educational pathways. Learning via the metaverse, students will also have NFT credentials and potentially receive rewards through cryptocurrency. ## Open and accessible learning Web3 is also revolutionizing education by promoting openness and accessibility through decentralized tech. Unlike traditional, centralized platforms, Web3 supports open-source educational resources that anyone can access and contribute to. Here are a few examples of what those platforms look like: - **Open-source platforms:** Web3’s open-source nature allows platforms like OpenEdX and [Coursera](https://www.coursera.org/) to offer free courses and materials globally, removing traditional barriers to quality education. - **Emerging resources:** New Web3 initiatives like [Proof of Learn](https://proof-of-learn.vercel.app/) leverage blockchain to provide accessible educational experiences and credentials, while platforms like [Khan Academy](https://www.khanacademy.org/) explore Web3 to expand their free resources. - **Decentralized communities:** Web3 fosters decentralized learning communities, such as [Ed3 DAO](https://www.ed3dao.com/), where educators and students collaborate without institutional constraints, creating a global knowledge-sharing network. These Web3 innovations promise a more inclusive educational landscape, enabling greater access to learning opportunities worldwide.

Another factor in the Web3 transition is Learn2Earn. This concept is reshaping education by combining learning with financial incentives through Web3 technologies. The model motivates students by rewarding them with digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies or tokens, for engaging with educational content. - **Incentivized learning:** Programs like impactMarket’s Learn & Earn use blockchain to offer cryptocurrency rewards for completing educational tasks, enhancing motivation and introducing practical uses for digital assets. - **Transformative approach to education:** Learn2Earn makes learning interactive and rewarding, encouraging consistent engagement with tangible benefits. - **Motivation for the future:** As Web3 evolves, Learn2Earn models will likely expand, linking education more closely with economic rewards and bridging the gap between learning and real-world applications. ## What are decentralized learning communities? Decentralized learning communities use Web3 technologies to create open, collaborative spaces for educational content. These communities are known for their distributed networks and peer-to-peer interactions. They provide: - **Rich collaboration** – Emphasizing collaborative learning where participants share knowledge and resources freely - **Open access** – Promoting expanded access to educational materials and opportunities - **Great flexibility** – Allowing users to engage with and contribute to the community based on their interests and expertise Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are a specific type of decentralized organization governed by smart contracts on the blockchain. They operate without a central authority, with decision-making power distributed among members who hold tokens or voting rights. These communities leverage Web3 technologies to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and provide educational resources in a more open and democratic way. Check out these examples: ### Dream DAO [Dream DAO](https://www.dreamdao.xyz/) operates as a decentralized network where educators and learners collaborate to create and share educational content. By using blockchain technology, Dream DAO ensures transparency in contributions and rewards, creating a community-driven platform for continuous learning. ### Ed3 DAO [Ed3 DAO](https://www.ed3dao.com/) is a DAO specifically designed for educators, allowing them to engage with Web3 technologies, collaborate on educational projects, and share resources in a decentralized manner. Ed3 DAO provides a platform where educators can experiment with new teaching methods and tools to better foster innovation and community-driven learning. By removing traditional barriers and promoting transparency in a highly-connected world, these communities are illustrating what it means to build a more inclusive and dynamic educational landscape. ## What can educators do to prepare for Web3 in education? As educators, staying informed emerging technologies and their impact on the future of work and student skills is vital. Exploring new resources and understanding these technologies will enhance both teaching and professional growth. If you’re an educator looking to grow, start engaging in conversations Web3. Involve students in learning these advancements, and ask critical questions how the changes could impact their futures. Together, we can navigate a changing educational landscape and prepare our students for better, more equipped futures.

With many meetings happening on Zoom, you would expect that users got accustomed to the platform by now. Judging by the amount of funny bloopers posted on social media, people are still learning. The biggest pressure is on the managers’ and trainers’ shoulders, but everyone could learn how to avoid being unintentionally funny from these tips. 1. ### Video and mic off when starting the meeting First impressions matter, so it is recommended to begin with the microphone and camera off while you figure out what is on the screen. After that, you can easily turn them on. Any noise will be heard by everybody, and it might be a good idea to avoid that in a professional environment. 2. ### Use the annotation option Everyone is familiar with the share screen option by now, but the annotation feature tends to be overlooked. This function allows the facilitator to “draw”, “stamp” or “spotlight” on their whiteboard. The spotlight tool is great because it draws the eyes of the audience on where they need to be. It clears up confusion, and it eliminates distraction. 3. ### Password the Zoom meeting There is a serious issue related to security on Zoom. The internet is full of tales of meetings and classes that were crashed by people who didn’t have the best intentions. For corporate training, information can be kept private by adding a password. Another good way to ensure that nobody else can take over the screen is by selecting “Only Host” under the “Who can share?” section. 4. ### Mute when necessary Generally, trainers and facilitators want people to ask questions, share their experiences, and participate in their sessions. However, this is tricky with large meetings where most participants want to speak at the same time. Instead of trying to be louder than the crowd, facilitators can mute all participants and establish some rules for speaking. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

It’s a golden strategy for brands that are serious helping their companies and existing employees grow personally and professionally. In fact, companies worldwide spend an average of [$1,270 per team member](https://www.statista.com/statistics/738519/workplace-training-spending-per-employee/) on learning and development, and it’s easy to see why. From nurturing employee talent to boosting the organization’s value, upskilling through development programs contributes to productivity and efficiency at the corporate level. If you’re a training leader looking to upskill your teams this year and beyond, we’ve got the guide for you. Here, you’ll learn what exactly upskilling is, why it matters, and how to create your own [upskilling strategy](/solutions/continuing-education). ## What does upskilling employees mean? Upskilling means teaching an employee additional skills that they can readily apply in their professional roles. “Hard skills” describe a specific practice, like coding. “Soft skills” describe essential practices like listening or empathy that help people interact more effectively. Critical thinking skills are a prime example of an area that can be developed through upskilling. In terms of upskilling through [employee training](/solutions/employee-training), you might want to help people enhance their communication skills so that they can collaborate better with others. On the other hand, you might want to help your team members specialize in more refined roles or fields within your company. In either case, it’s important to remember that employees train and develop at their own pace. That means you may need to set specific expectations for each employee depending on their individual role and existing level of knowledge. This approach to upskilling is a key aspect of employee development, ensuring that training programs align with both career aspirations and organizational objectives. **CYPHER is U.S. News’ Top LMS for [Personalized Skills Development](/solutions/skills-development)** ## Benefits of upskilling Upskilling offers numerous benefits for both employees and organizations. By investing in upskilling programs, companies can: - **Enhance employee engagement and motivation**: When employees see that their company is invested in their growth, they feel more valued and motivated to contribute their best work. - **Improve productivity and performance**: Employees equipped with new skills can perform their tasks more efficiently and effectively, leading to better overall performance. - **Fill skills gaps and address talent shortages**: Upskilling helps bridge the gap between the current skill sets of employees and the skills needed to meet future business demands. - **Increase employee retention and reduce turnover rates**: Employees are more likely to stay with a company that offers opportunities for growth and development. - **Foster a culture of continuous learning and development**: Encouraging continuous learning helps create an environment where employees are always looking to improve and innovate. - **Stay competitive in a rapidly changing job market**: By continuously developing their workforce, companies can stay ahead of industry trends and maintain a competitive edge. ## Why is employee upskilling important? Creating an [upskilling program](/blog/business/things-to-consider-when-designing-training-to-upskill-remote-workers) is crucial so that your employees can take action toward their personal and professional development. Upskilling also generates higher employee satisfaction, as it enhances their skills and career growth, contributing to lower turnover rates and increased loyalty. But before we get into how to develop an upskilling program, let’s take a quick look at four of the top benefits of upskilling and why you should take it seriously. ### 1. Stay competitive The competition to find top talent is constantly increasing, and modern job markets can be unpredictable. Incorporating upskilling and acquiring new skill sets into the hiring process is crucial for companies looking to remain competitive when attracting and selecting talent. If you peruse through job postings, you’ll notice that most organizations are looking for employees with innovative and specialized skills. As a company, build upon these skills to become an enticing workplace that attracts top performers. ### 2. Retain more employees Upskilling plays a key role in preventing high employee turnover and [increasing employee retention](https://elearningindustry.com/skills-development-for-remote-teams-what-is-upskilling-and-why-is-it-essential-for-company-growth). Employees want to gain relevant skills and not hit their “job ceiling” too quickly. They prioritize their personal growth and will stay longer with a company that offers upskilling opportunities. ### 3. Increase your business value [Investing in your company’s talent](/blog/business/skills-development-activities) can help you retain talented employees and position your organization as a skilled, educated entity that not only runs like a well-oiled machine but is also passionate growing and evolving. In addition to strengthening your workforce, these two pillars can also be instrumental if you’re looking for investors or potential partnerships. ### 4. Set your employees up for success through continuous learning Helping your employees nurture their talent development through upskilling and reskilling and learning new skills is essential to setting them up to succeed in their current and future roles. In fact, that’s what [continuing education](/solutions/continuing-education) is all . Whether they stay with you for decades or leave in just a few years, nurturing an employee’s career progression doesn’t just benefit them. Your business and your team culture can reap the rewards, too. From boosting employee engagement to widening your organization’s expertise, having upskilled employees can help your business grow and move closer toward its long-term goals. ## How to create an upskilling program strategy Now that we’ve shared what upskilling is and why it matters, let’s take a brief look at how to create an upskilling strategy for your learning and development goals. ### 1. Identify both business and individual employee goals Start by identifying your business goals. What goals hinge on your employees’ contribution? Practically, this could look like: - Better marketing performance - Higher sales and revenue numbers - Improved customer service experiences - More concrete results based on hard skills Once you’ve defined these objectives, host a meeting or send a questionnaire asking your employees to share their own [career development goals](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/career-development). Be sure to also ask how your organization can help them meet their goals. ### 2. Pinpoint current business and employee strengths and skills Highlight your business’ and employees’ current strengths and skills. Before you start growing, it’s important to recognize your starting point. Note any specific ways your business can use its skills and strengths to help employees meet their goals — and then do the opposite. Jot down specific ways your team members can use their talent to help your organization reach its goals. ### 3. Conduct a skills gaps analysis Host a power hour brainstorming session with your team to go over the goals, strengths, and skills you noted in steps one and two. Then work together to “mind the gap” by looking for opportunities to upskill and highlighting any [skills gaps](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tackling-the-talent-skills-gap-with-a-holistic-skills-development-strategy). Conducting a skill gap analysis is crucial for evaluating the current skills of your workforce against the skills needed for future business needs. In other words, identify which skills and strengths are currently missing from the organization as a whole. - How does the company need to level up? - In what areas do your employees need to grow to help your organization meet its goals? Next, identify which tools you’ll need to help your company and employees evolve. For instance, if you run a marketing agency and one of your goals is to streamline your copywriting processes, then your team may benefit from investing in AI writing tools, like [paraphrase generators](https://www.copy.ai/tools/paraphrase-tool).  Or, if you’re the head of education technology at a language academy and your goal is to shorten IT resolution times, then your school might see value in upgrading to [remote support software](https://tsplus.net/remote-support/). Whatever the case may be, choose tools that have the best chance of helping you and your employees get closer to your goals. ### 4. Choose the right employees for upskilling Choosing the right employees for upskilling is crucial to ensure the success of the program. Here are some factors to consider: - **Identify employees with a strong desire to learn and grow**: Look for individuals who are proactive their development and show a keen interest in acquiring new skills. - **Assess employees’ current skills and identify areas for improvement**: Conduct a thorough evaluation of each employee’s existing skills to determine where upskilling can have the most impact. - **Consider employees’ career aspirations and development goals**: Align upskilling opportunities with the career paths and goals of your employees to ensure they are motivated and engaged. - **Evaluate employees’ potential for growth and advancement**: Focus on employees who have shown potential for taking on more responsibilities and advancing within the company. - **Involve managers and supervisors in the selection process**: Ensure that the selection of employees for upskilling aligns with the overall business objectives and the specific needs of different departments. ### 5. Create a plan to make it happen Finally, choose how you’ll structure and implement your development plans. Perhaps your employees would learn best from workshops or group coaching sessions. Or maybe a physical or virtual classroom setting would be more appropriate. If you’re fully remote, online training programs might be your best bet. After you’ve settled on a cohesive learning structure that works for everyone, solidify a team training schedule and choose your facilitators. Then, give your team a heads-up and get ready for the upskilling to begin! ## Developing new skills By investing in comprehensive training programs, mentorship opportunities, and on-the-job learning experiences, you can help your employees develop new skills that enhance their performance and adapt to evolving business needs. **When employees feel empowered to grow and learn, they are more likely to contribute innovative ideas and solutions, making your organization more agile and competitive.** ### Encourage continuous learning Creating a culture of continuous learning is essential for upskilling employees effectively. This means fostering an environment where learning and development are highly valued and actively encouraged. Provide ample opportunities for training and development, whether through workshops, online courses, or seminars. Encourage employee feedback to understand their learning needs and preferences better. By promoting continuous learning, you ensure that your team remains equipped with the latest skills and knowledge that can help your company stay ahead of the competition. A strong company culture that prioritizes learning not only enhances employee engagement but also drives overall business success. ### Leveraging technology and resources Leveraging technology and resources is crucial for effective upskilling. Utilize online training platforms, mobile learning apps, and other digital tools to provide your employees with easy access to learning resources. [CYPHER Learning](/) makes it easy and fast to create and deliver premium AI-powered course content, while preserving time and resources. Modern LMS platforms offer flexible and personalized learning experiences that can be tailored to individual needs. Additionally, consider partnering with industry experts and training providers to offer specialized training and development opportunities. By tapping into these external tools, you can provide your team with the specific skills they need to excel in their roles and contribute to your organization’s growth. ## How to design more effective training programs Productive and people-centric training programs are essential for successful upskilling. Here are some characteristics of effective training programs: - **Align with business objectives and goals**: Ensure that the training programs are designed to meet the specific needs and goals of the organization. - **Address specific skills gaps and needs**: Focus on the areas where there are clear skills gaps and where upskilling can have the most significant impact. - **Offer a mix of theoretical and practical training**: Combine classroom learning with hands-on experience to ensure that employees can apply what they have learned in real-world scenarios. - **Provide opportunities for hands-on experience and application**: Encourage employees to practice new skills on the job to reinforce their learning. - **Incorporate feedback and assessment mechanisms**: Regularly assess the progress of employees and provide feedback to help them improve. - **Offer ongoing support and resources for continued learning and development**: Ensure that employees have access to resources and support even after the initial training program is completed. ## How to start measuring the success of your upskilling To ensure your upskilling program is achieving its intended goals, it’s essential to measure its success. Start by setting clear metrics that align with your program’s objectives. Track key indicators such as employee engagement, retention, and productivity over time. Regularly review these metrics to assess the impact of your upskilling initiatives and make necessary adjustments. By measuring success, you can demonstrate the value of your upskilling program and ensure it continues to meet the evolving needs of your business and employees. ### Establish clear and relevant metrics Setting clear metrics is vital for evaluating the effectiveness of your upskilling program. Identify key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect your program’s goals and objectives. For instance, you can track the following metrics: - Employee engagement and satisfaction - Employee retention and turnover rates - Employee productivity and performance - Skills gaps and training needs - Return on investment (ROI) and cost savings Regularly reviewing and analyzing these KPIs will help you identify areas for improvement and ensure that your training initiatives are aligned with both employee and organizational goals. This approach not only enhances employee satisfaction and retention but also drives overall business success. ## Overcoming challenges in upskilling Upskilling can be tough (and slightly hard to measure), but there are strategies to overcome common obstacles facing teams and enterprises. Here are some practical tips: - **Address resistance to change by communicating the benefits of upskilling**: Clearly explain how upskilling can benefit both the employees and the organization to gain their buy-in. - **Provide ongoing support and resources to ensure continued learning and development**: Offer continuous support to help employees apply their new skills and continue their development. - **Encourage employee feedback and involvement in the upskilling process**: Involve employees in the planning and implementation of upskilling programs to ensure they are engaged and invested in the process. - **Address skills gaps and talent shortages by investing in upskilling programs**: Focus on upskilling as a solution to bridge skills gaps and address talent shortages within the organization. By following these strategies, you can overcome the challenges associated with upskilling and create a successful program that benefits both your employees and your organization. ## Upskilling employees now and in the future Upskilling is a must if you’re interested in staying competitive, keeping top talent, increasing your company’s value, and setting your employees up for success. Addressing skill gaps is essential for future growth and sustainability, as it ensures that your workforce is equipped to meet new demands and adapt to industry changes.

Whether we’re talking automating our finances, paying bills, buying groceries, or house chores, it’s clear that automation saves us so much time. In the world of training, this is no different. Automation can be used to help companies save time on training tasks by replacing manual work. Using automation, instructors can quickly make training programs run smoother in a more personalized and dynamic way. The science behind automation is quite simple. At its core, it’s based on an if-then statement. If a specific condition is met, then an action is triggered. A straightforward example of automation in training is awarding learners with a certificate when they complete a course. Training automation can be a set-and-forget kind of system. You do the initial work of defining your workflows and rules and then just sit back and reap the benefits. Of course, the type of automation you will implement in your training is directly influenced by the [training platform](/business) you use. Some platforms offer very basic automation functionality, while others provide the possibility to create very complex workflows. I strongly encourage you to pick the latter because it’s better to have more options than limits in what you can do with automation. ## 5 Use cases of training automation you should know Now that we’ve explained the basic concept of automation, let’s have a look at some of the most common use cases in training: 1. ### Course and content creation It can take several hundred hours to create a training course. Not only is this incredibly costly, but it also takes away from the people and time you can devote to revenue-generating activities. With the use of a [generative learning platform](/platform), you can use AI to automatically generate courses and content – from automatic question bank and module creation, to automatically mapping competencies to content, and more. With CYPHER Learning, you can actually upload learning materials – PDFs, videos, etc. – and AI will generate an entire course from the content, creating highly personalized courses with your best practices, language, and more in just minutes. Competency mapping gives trainers insights into course coverage and employee skill development. However, it’s incredibly tedious, so many trainers opt to not do it, missing out on valuable insights. Automatic competency mapping with AI opens a whole world of opportunities in training – specifically when it comes to personalized learning. If you want to provide your learners more value, see better growth and engagement, and optimize your training materials, look further into AI-powered course and content creation to learn how it could benefit your training. 2. ### Onboarding One of the most useful ways to use automation in training is to create rules to help with the onboarding process. For example, when an employee joins the company, you can trigger a rule that enrolls them in an onboarding learning path based on their job title. At the same time, you can trigger a rule that sends a welcome message to all new employees with tips on getting started. Regardless of the audience, whether it’s employees, clients, partners, trainers, managers, etc., automation is a way to make users’ first experience with the learning platform a good one. For example, you can define a rule to automatically enroll new instructors in a dedicated group when they join the platform. Depending on the learning platform you’re using, the automation functionality creates sophisticated rules based on various filters. When rules are made, you can target specific people from a course, group, or organization. You can also filter by job titles, city, learners, instructors, and more. To give you an example, you can automatically enroll learners from Chicago that have Marketing in their job title and at the same time add them to a group dedicated to learners that are taking a specific course. 3. ### Learning performance Another use case for automation is related to learners’ performance in training activities. Using automation can help instructors decide what content learners see in courses based on their results. For example, if a learner is doing very well and completes a difficult module, you can choose to show them some more advanced modules or give them a more challenging assessment in the next module. If a learner achieves a low score, you can automatically hide a module until the learner achieves the needed result. Automation also works for skill development and improving learning outcomes. Some platforms allow you to trigger automated actions based on how well learners master the skills that are being taught. For example, if a learner is stuck for more than ten days on a particular skill, you can receive automatic alerts. Then, you can send them a message with recommendations for improving their performance. If a learner finishes a course with the maximum score, you can trigger a rule to enroll them in a bonus micro-course dedicated to high achievers. 4. ### Organizing training content Automation helps instructors organize training content and decide how learners get access to it. An ordinary use case is triggering rules when the course starts or a few days before that. You can send a reminder to learners two days before the course begins. You can also lock the course a few days before it starts. In this way, learners can enroll but not access the content just yet. Several days after the course is finished, you can send a custom message with a feedback survey. Automation can also be used to schedule learner access to modules rather than having them available at once. Trainers use automation to lock and unlock training content at a specific time. For example, the system can release course modules every two days or weekly, depending on your preference. Another area where automation can help instructors manage training activities is compliance. Suppose you have courses required for compliance and need learners to take them from time to time. In that case, you can create rules to alert instructors and learners when their compliance course is due and automatically re-enroll them. 5. ### Motivating learners Automation is an excellent way to motivate learners throughout training programs. Most gamification features available in learning platforms are based on automation. The concept is quite simple. Each time learners complete specific tasks within a course or learning path, you can trigger rules to award them with points and badges. For example, learners get a badge when they complete a module. They also receive points if they achieve a particular score on an assessment. They can even receive e-commerce coupons when they finish a learning path. If you have a course game, there is also the option to define actions that occur when learners reach certain game levels. Gamification introduces a fun and competitive spirit to training, as learners advance through games to improve their rankings and earn more prizes. Awarding certificates is an excellent incentive for learners and can be easily set up using automation. Whenever a learner completes a course or a learning path, they receive a completion certificate. You can also trigger "congratulations messages" each time a learner completes an essential milestone in a course, gets a perfect score, or finishes a module. ## Wrapping up These are some of the most common ways to use automation in training. I hope these examples have shown the various ways in which automation can be helpful in training and how easy it is to implement. Any company can benefit tremendously from automating its training activities and making them more scalable in a personalized and efficient way. The first step is finding a learning platform that provides a variety of automation features. Start with some of the most straightforward uses, such as automatically onboarding new users or awarding certificates at the end of courses. Later, you can tackle more complex workflows once you have a clear idea of your training goals and needs.

Reactive to proactive AI 2024 brings the dawn of AI’s genuine assistive power – and value. We’ll see more instances of AI autonomously assisting you. The iterations we see now operate in reactive mode. For instance, if I have a query, I might approach ChatGPT or the [CYPHER Learning platform](/cypher-copilot). But the initiative is all mine. Soon AI will proactively suggest, "Graham, have you considered this?" Or offer, "Would you like me to arrange this for you?" In moments it might confirm: "Graham, I've organized that for you and will remind you in 10 days." This represents a shift towards a more interactive and bidirectional relationship.  In 2024 the focus will be on reimagining education with AI at its core. It's not merely repackaging traditional learning methods with AI; it's innovatively leveraging AI to transform the educational experience. Virtual learning assistants, or mentors, will, with human overseers, autonomously support personalized development: imagine personalized learning journeys powered by AI agents that bring relevant topics to your attention, based on your interests. You might be taking a coffee break, and the AI, understanding your preference, suggests a new topic to explore. 2024 will witness the rise of proactive AI that actively engages with users rather than wait for user inputs. ## 2. Raw AI versus packaged AI In 2024, control and oversight by real people begin to elevate AI utility. Early missteps by AI applications have cast a shadow of doubt. Instances of AI producing inaccurate or nonsensical content have gone viral. In 2022, a new ChatGPT release drew 100 million test users within two months. Inevitably not every exchange was perfect – and flawed “hallucinatory” answers drew attention and skepticism.   But it's vital to understand: these early AI applications represent its raw form. Next, we integrate AI into business processes and other sectors and it evolves into controlled, contextualized, and curated forms, overseen by human experts. For instance, in the realm of education technology, where I have a vantage point, AI now streamlines curriculum creation, combining multiple models and human oversight to ensure accuracy. Big players like Microsoft and Amazon are already incorporating more controlled versions of AI into their systems, marking a shift from its initial unrefined state to a more mature, disciplined phase. ## 3. Remote training for remote managers In 2024, AI emerges as a key resource in remote workforce management.  The distributed or hybrid workforce appears here to stay, presenting team managers with new challenges. Some teams suffer from lack of face-to-face training, reinforcement, and camaraderie. Isolation, and fewer spontaneous “break-room breakthroughs,”  can breed disconnection and hurt the business. AI will be a key ingredient in the antidote, enabling more engaging one-on-one communication with remote workers – at scale, too. AI will help the distributed enterprise implement pinpoint skills over distance one worker at a time; at the same time, it will help managers succeed in a brave new remote-management world. We’re likely to see a new wave of management training in 2024 with AI at the epicenter.    ## 4. AI helps build a versatile ‘jack-of-all trades’ workforce In 2024, AI makes it easier to support workers a world away. Workers having an across-the-board skillset, particularly in soft skills, is becoming more of a business priority. Entry level learning and development programmes are going to become more focused on building a workforce with a foundational set of core skills, focusing on communication, time management, leadership, interpersonal skills, task prioritization and problem solving. We’re likely to see businesses hoping to achieve this taking a more modular approach to L&D. Supporting workers to develop in the areas where they need training most will transform the culture of these workplaces, prioritizing continuous learning with training delivered in a bite-sized, bespoke way.   ## ## 5. Demand for upskilling and reskilling Without AI, L&D and training teams will will buckle under pressure, as demand for upskilling and reskilling soar in ‘the new era of turbulence’ Disruptive technological forces – such as AI and digital transformation – are reshaping the world around us. The way we work and how roles are performed is changing rapidly. This ‘new era of turbulence’ – as described by the World Economic Forum – is going to put increasing pressure on L&D and training to update and create new training courses on a mass scale to plug vital skills gaps and stay ahead of their competition. With three quarters of HR and business leaders already struggling to develop training courses with current resources, the gap between those who can keep up and those that can’t will widen. Those who can’t keep up will be unable to fill vital skills gaps, leaving many to stagnate. With resources more stretched than ever, this pressure is going to drive greater uptake of AI-powered solutions, such as copilots, which can help trainers and L&D teams to maximize efficiency, productivity and creativity.  ## 6. Improving individual quality of life In 2024, AI uplevels small tasks and transactions – with a big impact on daily life. We’ll see exponential growth in the volume of minor, barely-noted encounters we have with ever-more-assistive AI, and the cumulative effect will be major. AI-powered assistants will evolve, managing a plethora of small errands and routines. Today’s teeth-gnashing unresponsiveness of service providers – airlines that hang up on you, chatbots that spew gibberish – will start to recede as AI drives hyper-personalization, supporting fast, tailored, responsive experiences for every customer.  In one business sector after another, we’ll begin noticing – and appreciating – AI’s transformative role: in healthcare, for one example, AI will support personalized diagnosis, treatment suggestions, and continuous health monitoring, reducing dependence on frequent physical doctor visits. AI will be at the heart of a business efficiency revolution customers actually like. ## 7. Job market metamorphosis enters full swing In 2024, the best job opportunities go to those most at ease with change The employment landscape undergoes a metamorphosis with AI at its core. Are some job categories threatened by AI? Eventually, yes – some. Will the opportunities swamp the losses? Without a doubt. AI ushers in a plethora of new job categories as people manage and oversee AI, team with AI, and slide into roles that call for more judgment and perspective. The digital-transformation drivers behind the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution are to have broader, in fact unimaginably pervasive impact thanks to AI, and it means equally pervasive shifts in worker skill sets. All innovators face three big challenges as a result: manage people through the change wave humanely and respectfully; give HR the resources it needs; and make sure everyone reaps the rewards of the transformed AI workplace.  ## 8. Policing for AI bias In 2024, we move closer to an AI ethic reflecting the whole, diverse planet. As the commentator Ezra Klein has said, trust is the most essential technology of all – and if people are wary of AI, or feel it doesn’t understand them, the revolution stalls. We know raw-state AI exhibits certain biases and blind spots, however unintentional, and we know one cause is too narrow a diet of training prompts. Another is insufficient ethnic, gender, economic, and geographic diversity on the development side. 2024 is the year technology innovators move to burst their own cultural banks and capture input from everybody, everywhere in order to minimize, and where possible eradicate, inherent biases in AI algorithms and systems.

There is also quite a bit of overlap — as well as misuse — of terms that can make navigating the literature on the subject of edtech unhelpful. We hope to give you a relatively simple roadmap to help navigate the thickets of **education technology buzzwords** and phrases that tend to appear in discussions and debates as well as a few education-based phrases that are often conflated or interchanged leading to a lack of clarity. Here is a quick terminology list developed with the help of quality online sources: 1. ### Augmented Reality (AR) This is a digital overlay onto reality. So when viewing “reality” through the camera or mobile screen, **digital tools** augment or add to what you see. “Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the **objects that reside in the real-world are ‘augmented’** by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.” - *Wikipedia* 2. ### Virtual Reality (VR) Where AR is an overlay of digital graphic and other sensory layers, **Virtual Reality is the full immersion into an interactive digital world**, that stimulates 100% of the visual and auditory senses. “A three-dimensional, computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and whilst there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions.” - *The Virtual Reality Society* 3. ### Mixed Reality (MR) Sometimes referred to as **Hybrid Reality**, the term refers in essence to the next iteration of **Augmented Reality**. “Mixed Reality (MR), sometimes referred to as hybrid reality, is **the merging of real and virtual worlds** to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time.” - *Wikipedia* 4. ### Artificial Intelligence vs. Machine Learning A really common error that is made quite often is people using these two terms interchangeably. **Artificial Intelligence (AI)** is a product of the much older computational concept of “logical machines”: “Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience.” - *Encyclopedia Britannica* Whereas **Machine Learning (ML)** is in turn a byproduct of **AI**: “Machine learning is an artificial intelligence (AI) discipline geared toward the technological development of human knowledge. Machine learning allows computers to handle new situations via analysis, self-training, observation and experience.” - *Techopedia* 5. ### Deep Learning vs. Deep Learning **Deep Learning (Tech)** Where machine learning is a part of the broader umbrella of artificial intelligence, **deep learning is in turn a function or derivative of machine learning**. “The hierarchy of concepts allows the computer to learn complicated concepts by building them out of simpler ones. If we draw a graph showing how these concepts are built on top of each other, the graph is deep, with many layers. For this reason, we call this approach to AI deep learning.” - *“Deep Learning” book by Ian Goodfellow and Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville* **Deep(er) Learning (Ed)** The Deep(er) Learning concept is **a reaction to the pressure** and consequences of **tandardized testing**. “The six Deeper Learning competencies: master core academic content, think critically and solve complex problems, communicate effectively, work collaboratively, learn how to learn, develop academic mindsets.” - *Hewlett Foundation* 6. ### Differentiated Learning vs. Personalized Learning vs. Individualized Learning **Differentiated Learning** This way of learning (and teaching) acknowledges that **everyone learns differently**. “Ensuring that what a student learns, how he or she learns it, and how the student demonstrates what he or she has learned is a match for that student’s readiness level, interests, and preferred mode of learning.” - *Carol Ann Tomlinson* **Individualized Learning** Individualized learning is a tool within the Differentiated learning toolbox. However, definitions are not agreed upon. Most online references hold that **individualized learning** refers exclusively to the **pace of instruction**. “Instruction calibrated to meet the unique pace of various students is known as individualized learning. If differentiation is the ‘how’ then individualization is the ‘when’.” - *Dale BasyeM* **Personalized Learning** Probably the most commonly used term, it is most often used as an umbrella phrase that encompasses **instruction that is individualized and differentiated**. “The term personalized learning, or personalization, refers to a diverse variety of educational programs, learning experiences, instructional approaches, and academic-support strategies that are intended to address the distinct learning needs, interests, aspirations, or cultural backgrounds of individual students.” - *Glossary of Educational Reform* ### Resources - [Wikipedia - Augmented Reality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality) - [What is Virtual Reality?](https://www.vrs.org.uk/virtual-reality/what-is-virtual-reality.html) - [Wikipedia - Mixed Reality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality) - [Artificial intelligence](https://www.britannica.com/technology/artificial-intelligence) - [Machine Learning](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/8181/machine-learning) - [Deeper Learning Defined](https://hewlett.org/library/deeper-learning-defined/) - [Carol Ann Tomlinson](http://www.ascd.org/Publications/ascd-authors/carol-ann-tomlinson.aspx) - [Personalized Learning](https://www.edglossary.org/personalized-learning/) - [Deep Learning,An MIT Press book: Ian Goodfellow and Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville](http://www.deeplearningbook.org/) - [Personalized vs. differentiated vs. individualized learning](https://www.iste.org/explore/Education-leadership/Personalized-vs.-differentiated-vs.-individualized-learning) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

To help you get started, here are some features you should definitely **NOT** want in your future LMS: 1. ### You don't want a tangled system A difficult to use LMS comes with frustrations for all users, as training teachers and admins becomes a difficult and costly endeavour. You should **avoid an over-complicated LMS**. 2. ### You don't want a stiff design Seriously, you don't. 1995 feels like it ended a century ago. **Responsive design is the living future** and if an LMS is stuck in the "olden days" of set widths, just back away slowly. 3. ### You don't want unnecessary features Unnecessary features only **clutter the interface** and having to pay for them makes things even worse. Make sure you can customize the LMS according to your organization's specific needs. 4. ### You don't want an insecure system Check your vendor's website and see if their URL starts with **https** instead of just http. If you can't find the **"s"**, their website is **not a safe place** for data transfer, logins or credit card transactions. 5. ### You don't want hidden costs Unnecessary features, implementation fees, mandatory training, testing and bug fixing or customer support can all be subject to extra payment. Be sure to **know exactly what you pay for**. 6. ### You don't want a quiet vendor A proud vendor will **brag their achievements**, everywhere. A top spot in some industry report? A cool new feature? The more accomplishments they list publicly, the better. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

June 26, 2023 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read Remember when the fun house used to be fun? In its day, the fun house was the biggest sensation at the carnival. Visitors of all ages came driven by the sensory overload experience of pulsating lights, loud music, strange sights and sounds. Designed to be a fun and thrilling experience, there were mirrors to distort your reflection, spinning disks, moving floors, and optical illusions, and other delights that induced dizziness and excitement, and laughter. And there were tunnels with strobe lights, sound effects, and scary surprises hiding around each corner that led to mazes with dead ends that could make it difficult to find your way out. Funny thing is that one summer, the fun house was relegated from the main attraction to the back of the lot, replaced by new action attractions like the Tilt-a-Wheel and the Graviton. These new modern rides spun us around quickly, wildly, defying gravity, and raised the bar on excitement. And, suddenly, we had no interest in going back to the traditional fun house. Suddenly, the fun house was old, disjointed, and outdated, and obviously held up with borrowed and repurposed features and props. The sensory overload sensation that brought us joy and excitement now elicited headaches and boredom. Conventional learning platforms can seem a lot like the old carnival fun house. There's a few reasons for that. one, onventional platforms weren't created for today's modern learner and two, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. So we expect more and it shades the way we perceive the older LMS where the user experience is typically outdated, antiquated, and not very fun to navigate. It doesn't foster collaboration, communication, and community, and conventional LMS typically doesn't integrate well or play well with other systems. Modern LMSs make learning more interactive, immersive, and enjoyable than ever before. After experiencing the difference with advanced innovations like automation, AI, gamification, and social learning, it seems highly unlikely that modern learners would opt to return to a conventional LMS. ## Boost learner engagement and unleashes learning potential with the CYPHER platform Whether your legacy learning platform feels like a broken down fun house or like a broken down legacy learning platform, maybe it’s time to see why the CYPHER platform is getting so much attention.

Read on to see how you can adapt them for the online environment. 1. ### Review the previous lesson Successful teachers spend five minutes at the start of each meeting focusing on **the previously learned concepts**. Presentations, online assignments, and short videos are great because students recall important information through practice. 2. ### Teach information gradually Introduce new material step by step to prevent overwhelming students. Divide lessons into smaller sections, present new topics in different ways, **drip content** and summarize each step at the end of the lesson. 3. ### Ask many questions Questions are a good way to make sure that everyone understands the material. You can use slide presentations, forums or discussion groups to **keep the conversation going**. Additionally, use the “raise your hand” Zoom feature to ensure that students agree with an answer. 4. ### Provide models Providing models and examples in online classes is simple. You can use multimedia presentations to teach different concepts. Videos are just as good for **sparking a discussion** on different topics. For example, why do birds migrate? 5. ### Guide student practice Start giving more examples after teaching the material and ask students to do the same. Create quizzes, **incorporate fun games** for guided practice and experiment with game shows. Guided practice makes them more independent learners. 6. ### Promote more online interaction The most effective teachers check for understanding and **anticipate misconceptions**. Ask students to summarize or explain out loud certain concepts. Additionally, divide the class in groups and organize debates in which your students have to defend their position. 7. ### Aim for a high success rate Assessing students' responses in live meetings is challenging. However, you can provide **more models and explanations**, check their understanding through quizzes, and look at the LMS analytics function to see each student’s progress. 8. ### Provide scaffolds Difficult tasks require additional examples and models. To help students practice better, you can use **microlearning**, offer hints, examples of dos and don'ts, go over pre-taught notions at the start of the lesson and anticipate errors. 9. ### Encourage independent practice Independent practice solidifies knowledge. However, it’s important to make sure that students have had enough practice before assigning work. Then you can divide them into smaller groups, **encourage conversation** in forums, chats, groups or use **virtual flashcards**. 10. ### Review materials frequently Practice strengthens connections in the brain. Therefore, you need to revisit old material, give out plenty of resources, and **review older concepts** through quizzes. Your LMS can notify you when students struggle to master a skill or a concept so that you can take action. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

In a groundbreaking achievement, EDUCEM has developed 2,561 courses in just four weeks, significantly impacting the educational landscape for its 30,000 students across high school, college, and postgraduate programs.  ## Transformative impact on education CYPHER Agent is a cutting-edge generative AI tool that allows educators to rapidly co-create visually engaging and dynamic courses. This technology integrates gamification, competency mapping, assessments, and more, optimizing the learning experience for students. By automating resource integration and management, the platform streamlines course creation and enhances educational delivery.  **Patricia Mena Hernández, President of EDUCEM, stated:** "We are proud to offer quality education without geographical or economic barriers. Technology allows us not only to expand our reach to students but also to reduce costs and execution times. Inclusion is a fundamental pillar for EDUCEM, and we are proud to provide personalized, interactive, immersive, and accessible learning experiences for all our students."  ## Stunning achievements in educational content creation - **2,561 Courses in 4 weeks:** 60 educators from high school, college, and postgraduate levels formed teams of 10, creating, implementing, and evaluating each course. - **400x Improvement:** Traditional methods would have taken over 18 months, involving higher costs and three times as many personnel. - **Time optimization:** Traditional content creation requires 40 hours per single hour of educational content. CYPHER Agent enabled the creation of an average of 106 courses per day, or approximately 10 courses per hour. - **Dropout rate reduction:** High school and college dropout rates in private institutions in Mexico exceed 30%. EDUCEM with CYPHER Agent projects a 10% to 15% reduction in annual dropout rates. - **Increased enrollment:** Access to affordable, modern education is estimated to boost enrollment by 10%. ## Addressing key challenges "One of the biggest challenges in education in Mexico is the high dropout rate and access to international standard technologies in an accessible and equitable way for everyone. At EDUCEM, we are committed to addressing these challenges, democratizing technology, and demonstrating that it is possible to keep pace with international academies in adapting cutting-edge technologies," added Patricia Mena. Integrating AI technologies into education fosters a more immersive and interactive learning experience, enhancing student retention and skill development. CYPHER Agent not only expedites educational content creation but also automates skills management and competency-based assignments, gamification, quizzes, and study guides, ensuring a more efficient and personalized learning experience.

They are willing to put in all the effort to develop their careers, but they also have **high expectations from any training course** they attend. So what can L&D departments do getting them engaged in the learning process and make the most out of each training session? 1. ### Go on demand Training and learning doesn't happen just in a classic training setting, at fixed schedules. It needs to be accessible anytime, anywhere. So you should make it **available on all devices, online and offline**. Your employees will learn better at their own pace. **Business LMSs** have plenty of features to offer when it comes to e-learning and online training. 2. ### Keep it short If you want your employees to really learn, you need to focus on microlearning. Offer small bits of information that can be assimilated easily and put into practice right away. **A short piece of training material a day** will be just right; it will neither overwhelm the learner nor make him lose interest. 3. ### Make it personal All employees learn in different ways and come with such different packages of prior knowledge, that it's practically impossible to create a training course that "fits all sizes". **Personalized learning paths** allow you to set a targeted learning track for each employee depending on his/her level of understanding and prior acquired skills. 4. ### Nothing beats interaction Most of the new information from a course is forgotten within a month from the training. Employees need to participate in training courses in an active way: **raise/answer questions, solve tasks, debate, argue**. That's the only way to achieve better retention rates. In the case of online courses, don't be shy and use the **debate, forums, and group discussion features**. 5. ### Create a resource area If you want employees to like your courses and want to know more, create a space where you can share information, arrange web resources or documents by topics, and encourage your learners to contribute. Learning management systems offer features such as **e-portfolios, resource areas or libraries**, where you can put relevant training materials for everyone to access. 6. ### Make it fun Training should be fun and challenging. It's a bit hard to offer mugs as prizes in an online environment, but let the games begin. Stars, points, badges, titles, virtual trophies... **gamification is the talk of the town**. We are all kids inside and we still enjoy competing. With a little help from an instructional designer, any training can turn into a tournament. **Resources** - [pwc.com](https://www.pwc.com/m1/en/services/consulting/documents/millennials-at-work.pdf) - [elerningindustry.com](https://elearningindustry.com/micro-learning-future-of-training-workplace) - [CYPHER Business blog](/blog) - [td.org](https://www.td.org/content/atd-blog/what-do-you-know-why-do-people-forget-what-they-learn) - [assets.kpmg.com](https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/pdf/2014/09/gamification-competing-for-engagement-2014.pdf) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

And deciding which platform to use to introduce AI can feel daunting. But the benefits of doing it right far outweigh any challenges. Whether you’re just starting out with AI and are taking baby steps, or you’re already well underway and want to get an LMS that’s up to your level, CYPHER Learning is the AI-powered learning platform you need. Our fully integrated AI, CYPHER Agent, meets you where you are and helps you take the next steps with confidence. ## If you’re ready to move beyond siloed AI experiments Experiments are great and they can teach us a lot, but to really capitalize on the promise of AI in learning, you need to get a bit more strategic. It’s time to start looking longer term and for an LMS that will grow with you. You’ll want a bit more cohesion between your traditional learning initiatives and your AI experiments and you’re going to want to expand beyond small pilots. CYPHER can help. ## How CYPHER helps Fully embedded AI CYPHER Agent is fully embedded in the CYPHER platform and is tightly and naturally integrated into the learning workflows. While you don’t have to make it a part of every learning program, there are no siloes between what can and cannot be AI enabled. CYPHER Agent is always ready to assist admins, learners, and soon managers and instructors, wherever they are in the learning process. A fully realized role-based vision CYPHER Agent works with different users on different tasks, streamlining work and surfacing the right knowledge for the person using it. If you’re a course-creator, Agent helps you execute all of the many tasks that go into creating a course. If you’re a learner, Agent helps you get the knowledge you need for your role within your company, and takes into consideration your learning history. And there are more roles and tasks coming every quarter, so the solution will grow with you. High quality course creation Many platforms offer AI content generation, but only CYPHER Agent offers step-by-step course creation. What this means is that you can create a course (or just parts of it), and inspect the results at every step. For example, start by using Agent to create a course outline. You may choose to add or remove items and then have the AI generate the content, followed by adding quizzes, gamification, and more, reviewed and tweaked at every step. Content accuracy We’ve carefully configured CYPHER Agent to reduce risk of bias, hallucinations or inaccuracies, but we’ve also added a safeguard–AI Crosscheck. Any content generated by CYPHER Agent is crosschecked by another independent AI system that flags any hallucinations or inaccuracies for the user. No other AI content creation tool does this and it increases the validity of the content exponentially. ### Privacy Our relationship with our AI providers guarantees that the proprietary material that you use to build courses and your interactions with the solution will never be used to train the model or leave your CYPHER instance. The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. ### Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within CYPHER. You can set which topics or subject areas are off limits and you can monitor which prompts are being used and by whom to confirm that the solution is being used appropriately. Here are a couple of quick, safe AI wins you can get with CYPHER: - Increase the frequency with which you update internal courses by fully automating the creation. - Give subject matter experts access to create the courses based on their content (like compliance or policy documents). - Expand your course offerings into new areas that you didn’t have the bandwidth to support before. - Offer CYPHER Agent to learners to support learning outside of traditional courses. ## See how it works See how you can create a course See how CYPHER can help support your learners You can start exploring AI without sacrificing the learning management support that you need to manage your programs–onboarding, compliance training, skills development and more. CYPHER Learning is an award-winning LMS that empowers you to streamline your administrative work with robust automation, flexible content support, and personalizable learning paths.

July 31, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 4 minutes read When selecting an LMS for 2025, consider features such as deep AI support, learner engagement tools, robust analytics, and scalable performance, particularly for organizations with 500 or more learners per month. CYPHER Learning meets those needs, making it a compelling solution. ## Why the foundational structure matters ### 1. Scalability and performance Organizations with 500 or more learners need an LMS that performs reliably under growing usage. Slow loading times, server timeouts, or inconsistent access can derail adoption and training outcomes—systems relying on shared servers or outdated architecture struggle under increased load. CYPHER Learning operates on a cloud-based, scalable infrastructure that can dynamically expand capacity, helping to prevent downtime and delays. ### 2. Robust analytics and reporting Without detailed data—such as course completion rates, time spent per module, and assessment performance—it's challenging to pinpoint weak points in content or engagement. In 2025, analytics should provide actionable insights through dashboards, cohort comparisons, and the detection of learning trends. CYPHER Learning features powerful reporting tools with graphing, filtering, and exporting capabilities for compliance, certification, or executive summaries. [Source: CYPHER Learning](/resources/guides/business/analytics-and-reporting-tools) ### 3. Deep AI support: CYPHER Agent AI integration is no longer optional for advanced training solutions. The CYPHER Agent provides tailored recommendations and insights for both learners and content creators. - CYPHER Agent for learners delivers real-time answers in the moment, so decisions are faster, work is smoother, and productivity keeps moving. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-learners) - CYPHER Agent for creators is an AI-powered assistant embedded in the CYPHER Learning platform designed to streamline and accelerate course development. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8L63_7lffQ&t=1s) This dual approach ensures that AI serves both sides of the training equation. ### 4. Learner experience and interactivity Engagement tools—such as quizzes, branching scenarios, peer forums, and badges—are essential for enhancing knowledge retention. Designers should be able to support multimedia content without incurring significant development overhead. CYPHER Learning supports a wide range of interactive modules and integrates seamlessly with external tools. [Source: Docebo](https://www.docebo.com/learning-network/blog/best-learning-management-system/) ### 5. Compliance and certification workflows For organizations offering certification or compliance training, LMS tools need authoritative certificate generation, version tracking, retake workflows, and audit logs. CYPHER Learning offers built-in certificate issuance and automated renewal reminders—essential for regulated industries or ongoing professional development. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/certifications) ## Other standout LMS options in 2025 While CYPHER Learning excels, it's helpful to compare other platforms: Platform AI/automation Analytics depth Scalability (500+ learners) Certification tools CYPHER Learning CYPHER Agent Advanced dashboards Global cloud infrastructure Integrated certificates Docebo AI workflows Good reporting Scalable but can be complex Add‑ons available LearnUpon Predictive analytics Reports and insights Designed for mid‑enterprises Certification features Moodle (Cloud) Plugins depend on setup Less intuitive reporting Scalable with expertise Depends on additional modules Those platforms may work, but they often require significant customization, third‑party modules, or multiple licenses. CYPHER Learning offers a cohesive experience optimized from the start. ## How CYPHER Learning meets core needs for 2025 ### 1. AI accuracy and personalization The CYPHER Agent utilizes organizational usage patterns to recommend learning content that addresses fundamental gaps, rather than providing generic suggestions. For example, a compliance officer gets a course recommendation because many peers in similar roles completed it, not just because it's trending. [Source: THE JOURNAL](https://thejournal.com/articles/2024/06/21/cypher-learning-introduces-ai-accuracy-tool.aspx) ### 2. High-impact analytics Beyond tracking completion, the platform recognizes knowledge decay patterns. If learners revisit a topic within months, CYPHER Learning highlights these repeat interactions, revealing where content may need revision. [Source: CYPHER Learning](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) ### 3. Audience segmentation and administration With over 500 learners across teams or locations, flexible group management is crucial. CYPHER Learning enables administrators to assign content and track results across departments, geographies, and user types—all without the need for manual uploads or external spreadsheets. [Source: CYPHER Learning](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) ### 4. Certification and compliance excellence Issuing certificates, tracking expirations, triggering auto-reminders, and retraining are built in. Administrators can export audit logs with just a few clicks, eliminating the need for third-party tools or custom scripts. [Source: CYPHER Learning](/solutions/continuing-education) ### 5. Enterprise support and integrations CYPHER Learning offers SSO (SAML, OAuth) and API support for HRIS or CRM systems, as well as integration with video conferencing and content tools. Dedicated support and onboarding services are included, making implementation smoother for larger teams. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/integrations) ## Is CYPHER Learning the best LMS for you?

We are currently witnessing challenging times in terms of global health, with every industry affected in one way or another by an invisible threat. Airplanes don’t fly anymore, many shops and factories have closed their doors — and so did schools. Those who could, moved their activity online. Schools may be closed, but education must continue. Students need to learn, even in times of disasters. **Disaster-proof education** is a movement that seeks to empower teachers and students in these difficult times by providing a strategy that uses the most at hand solution: education technology. The movement was created by **Jenielyn Padernal**, a passionate educator and instructional design expert with more than 20 years of experience in the field. Here are some online learning tips that Jen has developed over the years as a disaster-proof educator, and which any teacher around the world can use to move their classroom activities online: ### Tip #1. Adopt an asynchronous mindset Online learning does not always have to be synchronously done. Give students **ample time to read and learn**, and this will also give teachers time to reflect and check. ### Tip #2. Don’t try to do it all Don’t overwhelm your students with **too many online assignments and activities**. Remember, one student can have as many as eight to ten subjects. Take note that this can also overwhelm you as an instructor when checking and marking those activities - if you are handling several sections of students. Quality is better than quantity. ### Tip #3. Don’t panic Upload lessons and activities **one at a time**. You have enough time to give lessons and activities. There is no need to give everything in one day. Keep calm. ### Tip #4. Sharing is caring Share **lessons and activities that are common to teachers**. It lessens the burden of creating the same lesson by different teachers for different groups of learners. ### Tip #5. Help each other Open lines of communication where teachers and students can **reach out to each other** if they encounter any issues or challenges. Reach out to your LMS support forum. Ranting never helps. ### Tip #6. Less is more Create **bite-sized lessons and activities**. Shorter lessons are easier to digest and to absorb. It also reduces cognitive load among learners. Your students will appreciate this. ### Tip #7. Edutainment helps Use videos and colorful images to **break the monotony** of text-heavy content. Use your phone or an easy-to-use recording app to record yourself teaching a specific topic, but make it short and sweet. ### Tip #8. Gamify You can also gamify lessons and activities by **awarding points and badges** for the progress the student makes. Students get excited when they see their names in a leaderboard. ### Tip #9. Collaborate Use different collaboration tools such as **chats, wikis, discussion forums**, and **blogs**, that allow students to communicate and engage with each other. Teaching doesn’t have to be for teachers only. Let them learn from each other. ### Tip #10. Give them time Let the learners **work at their own pace**. We are no longer in the classroom where time is of the essence because of class schedules. They have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do anyway. Us teachers need time to pause and rest as well.

The process is as easy as you make it. Here are five steps you could follow for a **smooth LMS migration**. 1. ### Set the LMS migration team Depending on the size of your company and the specifics of both LMSs, you can have a core team of between three and even ten or twelve people. This team might include: - **Team leader**, someone who'll know exactly at what stage the process is, at any time. - **Course manager**, who knows all the available course data. - **Training administrator**, who knows what the new system must do. - **IT architect**, to deal with all those tables of data as flawlessly as possible. 2. ### Plan. Plan. Plan. Seriously, plan. **Everything**. You need to plan your budget first. Everyone should be clear on the resources they have, and how much time they have. Then, you need to plan the **entire process**. Start by identifying the big chapters of your journey: - What kinds of data you have, and how you'll sort it. - What other system integrations you need. - How the actual migration of the data will occur. 3. ### Do what you have planned Inevitably, new problems and unplanned issues will arise at this phase. However, they come in significantly lower numbers after a thorough planning phase. And if the LMS migration team did a great job at planning, certainly they'll **find ways to tackle everything else**. 4. ### Test the outcome After all the data migration has occurred, you need a handful of end-users to test the outcome. This step is necessary, as most bugs need to be **found and fixed** before the official release. 5. ### Let the world know your new LMS This is the day you high-five with everyone in the LMS migration team and see the users with a **"not bad"** expression on their faces. If you have a mic, go ahead and drop it. Enjoy this time while it lasts. The next day will come with your next challenge. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

A great example of this is the American Red Cross, which demonstrates the impact of continuous learning through a custom portal that trains volunteers and staff on essential skills, from emergency response to outreach. Accessible learning has improved service quality and boosted volunteer engagement, helping them make a greater impact. [Learning Management Systems](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lms) (LMS) meet these needs by streamlining training processes, managing educational content, and facilitating knowledge sharing among staff, volunteers, and donors in the nonprofit sector. In this post, we’ll compare top LMS platforms for nonprofits, highlighting features, customer feedback, and best practices for implementation. ## What is a learning management system (LMS)? An LMS empowers organizations to create, manage, and deliver training and educational programs all in one place. With an LMS, nonprofits can equip their teams (including volunteers, staff, and stakeholders), with the skills and knowledge needed to drive their mission through interactive and engaging online learning. An LMS makes it easy to track learning progress, encourage interaction, and ensure everyone stays aligned with an organization’s big picture goals. By accomplishing this, nonprofits can better maximize impact every step of the way. ### How to tackle educational programs with an LMS [Nonprofit organizations can harness an LMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/brochures/business/nonprofit-organizations) like CYPHER to further scale important missions around the world—all without breaking the bank. For example, CYPHER makes training content accessible in more than 50 languages, serving teams and individuals all over the world. With more mobilization and all-in-one course creation features, an LMS helps nonprofits avoid the “starvation cycle,” which happens when resources get depleted before a group fulfills its organizational goals. A powerful LMS also empowers staff development and continuing education programs. Because nonprofits struggle with high internal turnover, budget constraints, and job vacancies, keeping team members up-to-date with the latest skills and knowledge protects against the problems that cause nonprofits to fizzle. ## Top features to look for in a nonprofit LMS When choosing an LMS for a nonprofit, consider features such as affordability, ease of use, and support for volunteer and donor training. Selecting the right learning management system can foster effective training for all of the people that serve in big and small ways. Look for platforms that offer: - **Mobile accessibility:** Training on-the-go is critical for remote teams and busy volunteers who may not have time for lengthy in-person sessions. - **Personalization for compliance training:**When nonprofits need to meet specific workplace regulations or safety standards, a streamlined LMS brings everything together. - **Infinitely scalable:**The right LMS is built to grow with your. For instance, CYPHER automatically translates to 50+ languages, making it easier to carry out nonprofit work around the globe, in any context. - **Reporting tools:**Reporting and analytics features (whether real-time or historical) are vital for tracking progress, ensuring compliance, and measuring impact. ### More advanced features Today’s top learning platforms go beyond traditional features, offering a mix of tools that bring learning to life. For instance, some platforms implement adaptive learning pathways that adjust course content based on individual skill levels. Advanced social learning features let users collaborate in real-time—think of volunteers swapping tips on a discussion board or mentors offering guidance via video chat. With gamified modules, nonprofits can boost engagement by turning essential tasks, like policy training or onboarding, into interactive challenges. Robust analytics and AI-driven insights take it one step further by providing real-time data on what’s working and where learners need extra help. Nonprofit admins can analyze engagement, ensuring that each course makes a measurable impact. By embracing these innovative tools, nonprofits aren’t just offering training—they’re creating immersive experiences that amplify their mission and empower every contributor. ## Comparing top nonprofit LMS platforms for modern orgs ### 1.

Keeping your team skilled, engaged, and adaptable is key to long-term success—and that’s where employee training software comes in. The right platform makes learning more effective, helping employees grow while keeping businesses competitive. In this post, we’ll break down what to look for in training software, common challenges, and how AI-driven solutions like [CYPHER](https://www.cypherlearning.com/) are raising the bar. Whether you’re in HR or corporate training, you’ll find practical insights to improve your training strategy. ## What is employee training software? Employee training software delivers, manages, and tracks employee learning programs and skills development. Think of it as a virtual learning assistant that ensures employees stay compliant with regulations, develop necessary skills, and continuously grow in their roles. It’s not tough to see why employee training plays a vital role in corporate success. Investing in training can [reduce employee turnover by up to 40%](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/future-learning-eye-opening-employee-training-statistics-2024-1epuc/) and give team members the skills they need for growth, development, and long-term leadership. Most employee training today happens through a learning management system (LMS). An LMS facilitates the delivery, tracking, and creation of training programs, integrating with existing systems and personalizing learner progress. It tailors experiences, predicts needs, and provides actionable insights, taking training to a whole new level. ### Benefits of online employee training software (and finding the right LMS to deliver) Today’s employers are in a tough spot. They’re juggling ever-changing compliance rules, rapidly scaling teams, and managing a workforce that’s more remote and dispersed than ever. On top of that, the skills gap is widening, making it harder to keep employees sharp and competitive.  And that skills gap? It’s fairly significant. As reported by the [Society for Human Resource Management](https://www.shrm.org/executive-network/insights/skills-gap-big-nearly-half-workers-need-to-retrained-decade): *“The skills gap is so big that it's one of the main barriers preventing companies from modernizing their business model," companies told [World Economic Forum]. There's clearly a need for training and reskilling. To keep up with the fast-shifting landscape, WEF finds, nearly half (44 percent) of an individual worker's skills need to be updated.”* To stay ahead, companies need training software that doesn’t just scratch the surface on in-demand skills and roles. That training also needs to directly address critical challenges, from upskilling hybrid teams to ensuring compliance—all without draining resources. ## Here’s why employee training software is critical for reversing the skills gap trend ### Speeding up onboarding, mastery, and competency Get new hires up to speed quickly and help seasoned employees refine their skills with structured, engaging learning paths. Not only does this provide in-depth learning, it also helps professional development outcomes. ### Keeping compliance training stress-free Industry regulations aren’t going away anytime soon. Make sure that training is seamless and standardized so everyone stays on the right side of the rules. Plus, with the right employee training software, you'll always be able to track [learner progress in compliance](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance). ### Empowering remote and hybrid teams Whether in the office or halfway across the world, employees can access training anytime, anywhere, keeping learning flexible and convenient. ### Boosting morale and retention with effective online training People stick around when they feel valued. A strong learning culture fuels motivation, career growth, and long-term commitment. ## How CYPHER enhances employee training CYPHER offers an innovative approach to corporate employee learning.

When you invest in employee training, you don’t only want standard results—you want big wins for your team and company. With the right training platform, it’s only practical to want to build a smarter, more modern and adaptable workforce. Here’s what a great training program should naturally deliver: - **Seamless flexibility:**Employees should be able to learn when and where it works best for them—whether they’re remote, on the go, or juggling a packed schedule. Training should fit into their workday, not disrupt it. - **Stronger knowledge retention:**The best training keeps employees engaged with interactive elements like quizzes, simulations, and real-world scenarios. When learning is dynamic, information sticks. - **Lower training costs:**Travel, venue rentals, and instructor fees shouldn’t eat into your budget. A solid online training system eliminates unnecessary costs and keeps learning efficient. - **Tailored learning experiences:** Training should adapt to employees, not the other way around. A strong platform personalized learning paths so every employee gets relevant, goal-oriented training that fuels their growth. - **Effortless scalability:**Whether you’re onboarding a handful of new hires or rolling out training to thousands, your system should scale with ease—no added complexity, no growing pains. ## The future of AI + employee training Employee training is undergoing a full-blown transformation, which is why it’s so important to choose an LMS or learning partner that understands the industry at a laser-focused level.

Another year has flown by and stores everywhere are yet again full of school supplies, one more useful (or eccentric) than others. The back-to-school season is a stressful season, for students, parents and teachers alike. But stress is a part of life and back-to-school stress is supposed to be worth it: educated kids will turn into smart adults who’ll ensure everyone’s future. We’ve only taken just a few steps into the 21st Century, after all. With smartphones in our hands, virtual assistants in our s and various ed-tech tools in our classrooms, we all rely on technology to make our lives easier during this stressful period. Technology does help; this month, next month and next year as well. Using technology in the classroom and especially an LMS to deliver the digital part of blended learning — which is probably the best way to learn and will become the norm in education — is a great way to equip students for the 21st Century world. ## 5 LMS benefits for K-12 Students [A learning management system for schools](/solutions/k-12-lms) provides more than an organized manner for teachers to deliver lessons and manage student outcomes. [New features are developed constantly](/resources/guides/neo/how-to-make-teaching-and-learning-more-flexible-using-automation) in order to meet the learning needs of students, from kindergarten to high school, and beyond. The target is to achieve the highest degree of personalized learning experiences for each student as possible. Using an LMS for classroom instruction comes with a few other advantages for students. Here are five of them: 1. ### Access to learning materials anytime, anywhere An LMS ensures that students can get access to their learning materials no matter where they are and at any time they want. Teachers may remember a time before the Internet, but most students today grew up immersed in the digital world. For them, accessing learning content without limits should be a given. For teachers who flip their classroom and need students to do their part before the class starts, so that the class time is more solving problems and exploring the subject deeper and less lecturing, this also should be a given. Using an LMS with a responsive design and maybe even a corresponding app makes this a given. 2. ### Centralized information Printed handouts can be fun and useful for various classroom activities, but they can also be misplaced, lost or damaged. They can become a thing of the past (and help preserve the forests) if educators choose to use of an LMS instead, because all study materials and even work get into the same location: in the cloud. This centralized hub of learning materials means students can find anything they need within just a few clicks or taps away. They will always get the latest version of any document and can quickly exchange various resources, because they're all in the same place. 3. ### Increased communication Through the use of an LMS students can collaborate on different tasks easily, as they don't have to be in the same physical place to speak with one another; they only have to be active in the system at the same time. This comes in handy even for introverted kids, who may find it easier to participate to class discussions, as the fear of being in the spotlight or being interrupted before finishing their thoughts diminishes. Students can make connections and exchange opinions with others colleagues thanks to the various collaborative features they can use. They also stay updated with the latest news from teachers and their school friends easier. 4. ### Studying becomes more personal Students can study in their own rhythm, especially if the school LMS has support for self-paced courses. Once peer pressure decreases, they can actually focus on what they need to learn, no matter how fast. They can dwell more on a difficult subject if they have to, or they can fly over the content they already master. Online courses can include rich and engaging content, from eye-catching imagery to educational videos and interactive learning scenarios. As students get more involved in the activities of the course, learning becomes more effective. 5. ### Time saving Not only can students find the most relevant learning materials within just a few clicks, but they can also submit their assignments as easily. They may not be able to use the “the dog ate my work” excuse, “lose” an essay, nor hand it in with peanut butter smears on it. How long it takes to make an assignment is up to each student though. What's more, an LMS can parse, sort and create [targeted reports](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) based on learning data, so students can get fast and extensive updates on their learning progress. This means they can adapt their learning strategy accordingly. ## All in all Using an LMS to support classroom instruction will not solve all the problems related to education. But students who do use an LMS — to access learning materials just when they need them, to find these easily, to collaborate with teachers and peers, to feel they have agency over their learning process and to submit assignments — have a few advantages over those who don’t. And in a world of constant stress, that matters.

Hoy, los métodos tradicionales de enseñanza ya no satisfacen completamente las necesidades de los estudiantes. Debe haber un cambio en el paradigma en términos de cómo abordamos la educación.  La enseñanza debe centrarse en los estudiantes, pero sobre todo, debe basarse en el perfil de los graduados.  El [aprendizaje basado en competencias](/es/recursos/guias/neo/competencia-aprendizaje-basado) es un enfoque moderno de enseñanza orientado a las competencias y pretende educar al aprendiz para la vida profesional y cívica. Como la dinámica del mercado laboral está en continua transformación y evolución, los estudiantes deben estar preparados para las futuras carreras que ni siquiera todavía existen.  ¿Qué pueden hacer las escuelas? Al centrarse en desarrollar las habilidades y los comportamientos necesarios para estos tiempos en constante cambio, se asegurarán de que los estudiantes dominen el contenido y adquieran habilidades, como adaptabilidad, resiliencia y voluntad. También llamado aprendizaje basado en el dominio, aprendizaje centrado en el estudiante o aprendizaje basado en el desempeño, el aprendizaje basado en competencias (ABC) tiene características y principios similares a todos estos enfoques, cuyo denominador común es el aprendiz en términos de la base, la experiencia de aprendizaje y el resultado. ## Los 6 principios del aprendizaje basado en competencias Sin más preámbulo, exploremos algunos de los principios que forman la base del aprendizaje basado en competencias: 1. ### Los aprendices avanzan hacia el dominio del contenido y las habilidades del siglo XXI El aprendizaje basado en competencias se centra en el progreso, no en el conocimiento adquirido en un momento en particular. El propósito de la enseñanza es asegurar los pilares del desempeño, concretamente el aprendizaje personalizado, las rutas alternativas de aprendizaje, el aprendizaje autorregulado, la adaptación del contenido y el apoyo continuo de los profesores.  A su vez, este avance tiene dos niveles en términos del contenido que dominan los estudiantes, y las habilidades y los comportamientos que demuestran durante el proceso. El resultado deseado es tener una educación integral que prepare a los aprendices para los próximos pasos en su vida. Más información: [Cómo utilizar el aprendizaje adaptativo para personalizar las experiencias educativas](/es/blog/k-20/como-utilizar-el-aprendizaje-adaptativo-para-personalizar-las-experiencias-educativas/?_ga=2.168495589.578360387.1664905393-178560440.1664905393) 2. ### Las escuelas comunican sus estándares y expectativas de manera clara a los estudiantes y sus familias Existe mucha confusión o malentendidos entre los aprendices y sus familias en torno a los requisitos del proceso educativo. El aprendizaje basado en competencias pretende aclarar las cosas e informar de manera explícita a todos los involucrados sobre los estándares de evaluación y las expectativas en cuanto al desempeño escolar.  Esto facilita el aprendizaje y aporta claridad a los estudiantes sobre todo el proceso educativo. De esta manera, saben exactamente dónde se encuentran a nivel académico y lo que deben hacer para alcanzar el éxito. 3. ### Diversas formas de evaluación informadas por separado Cada estudiante es evaluado de manera individual según las competencias, sin compararse con los demás. Esto significa que los aprendices son evaluados según su progreso individual y no según un nivel común que toda la clase alcanzará en un momento dado.  Los resultados de las evaluaciones formativas se utilizan para informar a los profesores sobre las adaptaciones educativas o el apoyo académico que los estudiantes necesiten durante la experiencia de aprendizaje.  Las evaluaciones sumativas evalúan el logro educativo, y sus resultados registran el dominio de los estudiantes en un momento específico. El progreso académico y otros logros, como los hábitos de trabajo, los rasgos del carácter, la asistencia o la participación en clase, se monitorean e informan por separado. 4. ### Las escuelas personalizan el aprendizaje para llegar a los aprendices donde se encuentren en términos de desempeño y nivel emocional Con expectativas claras e informes fiables, se obtiene una mejor comprensión de la trayectoria de aprendizaje de cada estudiante.  Los profesores pueden evaluar su desempeño y, según los resultados, pueden personalizar la enseñanza para satisfacer las necesidades individuales de aprendizaje.  Mediante evaluaciones diferenciadas, opciones de enseñanza personalizadas y rutas alternativas de aprendizaje, los estudiantes demuestran el progreso educativo. También se ofrecen múltiples oportunidades para mejorar el proceso de aprendizaje. 5. ### Los estudiantes tienen voz y voto en la experiencia de aprendizaje Los aprendices tienen la libertad de decidir sobre varios aspectos del proceso de aprendizaje y contribuir al diseño de las experiencias o rutas de aprendizaje.  Los profesores pueden crear oportunidades para que los estudiantes decidan cómo demostrar el dominio del contenido educativo. Pueden darles opciones para elegir o incluso permitirles establecer el qué, cuándo y cómo para mostrar su progreso.  Esto facilita la intervención de los estudiantes y contribuye al desarrollo de las habilidades del siglo XXI, como asumir la responsabilidad por el aprendizaje, poder adaptarse, planificar, cambiar y, por último, mostrar su conocimiento y progreso. 6. ### La calificación es una herramienta de comunicación La calificación ya no es una herramienta coercitiva. Comunica el progreso y los logros a los estudiantes y sus familias. Las calificaciones no se perciben como una herramienta para controlar ni sancionar. Se utilizan para facilitar y mejorar el aprendizaje. ## Los requisitos previos de la implementación del aprendizaje basado en competencias El aprendizaje basado en competencias no puede tener éxito sin los siguientes requisitos previos: - Propósito - Igualdad - Inclusión - Mentalidad de crecimiento - Responsabilidad - Coherencia - Transparencia - Fiabilidad - Inversión - Flexibilidad - Rigurosidad - Mejora continua Las escuelas necesitan una visión y un propósito claros para diseñar la experiencia de aprendizaje y brindar apoyo personalizado. Además, deben garantizar [igualdad e inclusión](/es/blog/k-20/cinco-herramientas-digitales-para-hacer-del-aula-virtual-un-espacio-mas-inclusivo/?_ga=2.162841208.578360387.1664905393-178560440.1664905393) en sus programas para que todos los aprendices puedan lograr los resultados deseados.  Para lograr la transición del aprendizaje tradicional al basado en competencias, las escuelas deben tener y promover una mentalidad de crecimiento y ofrecer experiencias de aprendizaje centradas en los estudiantes para que puedan asumir la responsabilidad por su desempeño académico. El aprendizaje basado en competencias requiere coherencia, transparencia y fiabilidad en términos de visión, alcance y propósito, que se refleja en las experiencias educativas que ofrecen.  Además, existe una necesidad de inversión en el desarrollo y la formación de los profesores para que comprendan e implementen con éxito este enfoque. Más información: [Cómo usar un LMS para el desarrollo profesional de los docentes](/es/blog/k-20/como-usar-un-lms-para-el-desarrollo-profesional-de-los-docentes/?_ga=2.168495589.578360387.1664905393-178560440.1664905393) El aprendizaje basado en competencias conlleva una gran flexibilidad, lo que garantiza la personalización del aprendizaje y el apoyo para cada estudiante. Esto no significa que no exista una gran rigurosidad académica en el proceso educativo.  La transición hacia el aprendizaje basado en competencias lleva tiempo y exige mejoras continuas para adecuarse a los estudiantes de cada escuela, en particular en ciertos momentos.  ## Conclusión El aprendizaje basado en competencias es un enfoque innovador que se centra en los aprendices y está diseñado en torno al perfil de los graduados. La educación se alinea con las expectativas y los requisitos de la educación superior, como también con la vida y profesión futuras.  Este enfoque utiliza los intereses de los estudiantes para involucrarlos en el aprendizaje, y la enseñanza demuestra relevancia para su vida. Lo que verdaderamente importa es el progreso individual y la experiencia educativa personalizada para que los estudiantes alcancen su potencial.

O aluno do século 21 e suas necessidades de aprendizagem estão na fala de todos, mas as formas simples de realmente atender a essas necessidades demoram a aparecer. Os educadores precisam preparar os alunos para terem sucesso em suas vidas - no século 21. Esses alunos precisam desenvolver habilidades como ser grandes comunicadores, aplicar o pensamento crítico, saber como colaborar com diversas pessoas e ser criativo. No entanto, o sistema educacional ainda usa edifícios escolares do século XX e currículos do século XIX. OK, posso estar exagerando um pouco, considerando a rápida adoção de tecnologias de educação e ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem trazidos pela pandemia. No entanto, rápido não significa necessariamente completo. Muitos mais professores e alunos agora usam as ferramentas de tecnologia educacional do que alguns anos atrás, mas essas ferramentas e várias estratégias de e-learning ainda não são usadas em todo o seu potencial. ## O papel do professor na sala de aula atual Os alunos podem ser o foco da educação e as escolas podem ser os provedores, mas os professores são aqueles que tornam tudo possível. Sem professores, as escolas não poderiam fornecer educação, enquanto os alunos não poderiam obtê-la. É por isso que os professores desempenham um papel vital na sala de aula de hoje e em seu sucesso em atender as necessidades do aluno do século 21. Mas o que exatamente significa esse papel? Aqui estão algumas ideias específicas: ### O professor moderno pensa diferente No mundo de hoje, os professores não devem ser limitados por mentalidades tradicionais baseadas na indústria. Com todo o respeito por todos os professores de matemática que tive enquanto me especializava em estudos de inglês, geometria espacial ou cálculo avançado não fazem parte da minha vida adulta diária. E sempre que tenho que fazer matemática, tenho uma calculadora à mão o tempo todo para fazer o trabalho para mim. Um professor de sucesso hoje precisa estar atento a todos os avanços tecnológicos, especialmente aqueles com potencial educacional. Lembre-se do frenesi Pokémon Go de um tempo atrás? (Coisas aconteciam antes da pandemia, certo?). Essa foi uma excelente oportunidade para os alunos aprenderem e praticarem a conversão do sistema métrico para o sistema usado nos EUA. ### O professor de hoje é estratégico em suas práticas Os alunos têm melhores taxas de retenção quando são apresentados a materiais educacionais mais curtos em relação aos mais longos. O aprendizado rápido, combinado com diversas estratégias de ensino, não é apenas um desejo, mas uma necessidade real. O processamento passivo de quantidades significativas de informações nas aulas não se traduz necessariamente em aprendizado bem-sucedido e desempenho acadêmico excepcional. É por isso que tudo o que um professor faz em sala de aula - seja um debate, um vídeo ou uma apresentação usando um aplicativo educacional - deve ser diagnosticado e estratégico. Cada atividade, independentemente do nível de diversão ou seriedade, deve ser introduzida no momento certo na matriz de aprendizagem para que os alunos aprendam e se lembrem dela. ### Um professor excelente promove inovação A inovação vem em todas as formas e tamanhos, mas um grande professor precisa abraçar o novo e promover liderança e pedagogia inovadoras em todas as camadas e funções da comunidade de aprendizagem: gestão escolar, todos os professores, alunos, pais, até mesmo cidadãos da vizinhança de sua escola, cidade ou estado. Por exemplo, tecnologias inovadoras de imersão como Realidade Virtual e Realidade Aumentada podem não ser apropriadas para todas as áreas de ensino e séries. Mas isso não significa que o professor deve considerar que isso nunca acontecerá, ou que outras tecnologias ou métodos de ensino que ainda não provaram seu valor porque são muito novos não se tornarão a norma em alguns anos. ### O professor moderno precisa estar na vanguarda Se você quiser vencer o sistema, primeiro deve conhecê-lo. O sistema educacional pode ser intrincado e complexo - e definitivamente imperfeito - mas isso não significa que não haja maneiras de usá-lo e alcançar grandes resultados. Esses caminhos não são óbvios e cada professor precisa encontrá-los em seu próprio tempo. O professor moderno entende a escola como uma organização sistêmica e tira o máximo proveito de todas as regras para promover o ensino exemplar, o aprendizado do aluno e as práticas de obtenção de resultados. ### O professor moderno sabe que Falhar significa Aprender Os alunos precisam de feedback em todos os momentos do processo de aprendizagem. Essa é a única maneira de adaptar suas ações e alcançar os resultados que buscam. As marcas de lápis vermelho em um teste muitas vezes não aumentam seu desempenho posterior, pois elas vêm um pouco tarde demais para os alunos. Os professores de hoje devem respeitar a tomada de risco e o fracasso e não reagir a esses termos com conotações negativas, mas sim com apreço, curiosidade e desejo de identificar a causa e a prescrição de melhorias. Eles apoiam os alunos em suas buscas de aprendizado nas falhas e os ajudam a compreender e superar seus erros inevitáveis. ### Um professor excelente promove excelente cultura de aprendizagem Nove em cada dez alunos do jardim de infância à terceira série dizem que adoram ir à escola, mas apenas um em cada dez alunos do ensino médio diz o mesmo. Acabei de fazer essa estatística e convido você a me corrigir. Números exatos à parte, muitos alunos dizem que não gostam da escola. Se você passar um dia no lugar deles, provavelmente concordará. Por que isso acontece? Porque quanto mais crescem, mais regras têm para seguir e menos diversão. Uma grande cultura de aprendizagem em qualquer série pode impedir que isso aconteça. Alguns assuntos ainda são sérios, mas isso não significa que não possam ser divertidos de aprender. Além do mais, empatia, comunicação entre pares e colaboração podem contribuir para essa ótima cultura de aprendizagem, e os professores podem influenciar tudo isso. ### O melhor professor coloca o aluno no centro do processo de aprendizagem A educação do século 21 pode ser considerada equivalente à educação centrada no aluno. Se o aluno estiver no centro do universo de aprendizagem - não a escola, não o professor - seus resultados acadêmicos melhorarão significativamente. Os melhores professores têm o aprendizado do aluno no centro de sua missão. ## Conclusão Neste mundo de rápidas mudanças, as instituições educacionais precisam acompanhar os avanços tecnológicos relevantes para oferecer formandos que possam prosperar no século 21 com sucesso. Portanto, o papel do professor nas salas de aula de hoje não deve ser esquecido. Os professores precisam conciliar o conteúdo específico que os alunos precisam aprender, bem como os melhores métodos e ferramentas a serem usados para garantir que a aprendizagem aconteça, tudo isso em conformidade com as regras organizacionais e padrões nacionais. Para isso, têm que pensar diferente, ser estratégicos, promover a inovação, conhecer o sistema, aceitar o fracasso, promover uma cultura de aprendizagem e, acima de tudo, colocar o aluno e as suas necessidades de aprendizagem no centro da sua missão. [K-20 blog](/pt-br/blog/k-20) [Gestão Escolar](https://www.cypherlearning.com/pt-br/blog/k-20/tag/gestão-escolar) --- ## What is competency-based learning? Part 1 **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/what-is-competency-based-learning **Last Modified:** 2025-01-22 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [Course design](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/course-design) # What is competency-based learning? Part 1 May 2, 2023 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 4 minutes read If you’re trying to create an amazing learning management environment for your organization, CYPHER offers a different, better, and more effective way to learn called competency-based learning. **Competency-based learning** is a method of instruction and evaluation that focuses on an individual learner’s progress. Learners advance by demonstrating their mastery of a subject or showing what they know by demonstrating the concepts they've learned through valid and accurate competency evaluations. It’s been around since 1968 so maybe you’re wondering what makes competency-based learning new? And the answer is CYPHER. We’ve built a modern learning management platform with a competency-based learning approach for a unique learning experience that is both effective and scalable. In this first of two blog posts, we explore what competency-based learning on CYPHER looks like, the benefits, and why it is different and why it achieves better results than conventional approaches. In the second part of the blog post that follows, we’ll dive deeper into the assessment and competency part of the discussion. ## Why is competency-based learning better than the other approaches? We defined competency-based learning, but we haven’t told you why it’s better than conventional ad hoc, topic based, and conventional competency based learning approaches. To do that, let’s first take a look at the challenges of conventional learning approaches and follow that with a look at the benefits of taking a competency-based learning approach with CYPHER. ### Challenges of conventional learning approaches Many conventional approaches to learning leave organizations and modern learners unsatisfied. Here’s why: - **Inability scale:**conventional approaches often rely on a traditional classroom learning framework that limits the number of learners who can participate in a course, and can make it difficult to reach large audiences or train employees across a geographically dispersed workforce. - **Inability to properly measure effectiveness:** Standardized tests and other traditional methods may not accurately reflect the learner’s understanding of the material or their ability to apply it in real-world situations. Also without integration flexibility, older systems may not not support connections with other systems. - **Bad user learning experience:**older approaches are often rigid and inflexible, or just outdated. This results in poor engagement and low motivation among learners, leading to lack of retention and poor learning outcomes. - **Lack of personalization:** Most learning approaches don’t take into account the individual needs and learning styles of each learner. A one-size fits all approach to learning often doesn’t meet the unique needs of each learner. - **Outdated content and resource-intensive:** Legacy learning approaches often rely on outdated content that doesn’t reflect current industry practices or trends. Older learning styles are heavy on memorization and rote learning, which can lead to a superficial understanding of the subject matter and a lack of critical thinking skills. This makes it hard for the organization to keep up with learning changes and for learners to properly prepare for the workforce. They fail to keep up with the changing needs of the modern learner and the demands of the modern workplace. ## Competency-based learning with CYPHER CYPHER can help your organization realize the true promise and the returns of the competency-based learning approach with an engaging and personalized, modern experience supported by unique skills development features, site-wide automation, and flexible integrations. ### Benefits of competency-based learning with CYPHER - **Mastery-based progression:**Learners advance to the next competency or learning level only after demonstrating mastery of the current competency. With clarity of level mastery for each competency, recommendations based on requirements to master remaining competencies, multiple assessments of each competency, learners gain and demonstrate a solid foundation in each skill before moving on to more advanced concepts. - **Purpose-driven:**Clearly defined learning objectives allow learners to understand the specific knowledge and skills they are expected to master with clearly defined competencies. - **Flexible pacing:** Learners progress at their pace, spending more time on challenging concepts and moving quickly through concepts they grasp more easily. This enables learners to take ownership of their learning process and progress according to individual needs and abilities. - **Personalized, real-world learning experiences:** Competency-based learning supports personalized learning pathways, with instruction and support tailored to meet the unique needs of each learner, and encourages “aha” learning moments. - **Assessment and competency:** This is where the competency-based learning model is a true outlier when compared to other learning approaches and why the second part of this blog will focus on that. Frequent assessments, both formative and summative, measure students' progress toward mastering each competency. Feedback helps students understand their strengths and areas for improvement. - **Recognition of prior learning:**Competency-based learning often includes mechanisms for recognizing and crediting prior learning, whether it comes from formal education, work experience, or other sources. - **Intuitive, personalized, and collaborative experience that modern learners expect:**Features include site-wide automation, gamification, and integrations significantly improve the learning experience. - **Connected learning communities:** learners have visibility into what’s happening around them, are easily able to communicate and collaborate with peers and instructors. ## Coming Soon–Part Two of Competency-Based learning: Assessments and Competency CYPHER provides a modern approach to competency-based learning that helps your organization eliminate the disappointment and frustration that often comes with conventional learning approaches. CYPHER personalizes the user experience, and provides granular visibility into learning progress, performance, and competency. By implementing competency-based learning best practices, organizations can ensure employees learn the right thing at the right time, that they learn it for the right reasons. Not only do they retain what they learn, but they are able to demonstrate their real-world proficiency before they advance. Part one of this blog defined competency-based learning, why it’s different, and its many benefits. However, assessment and competency remains one of the biggest outliers of this learning approach and we want to do it justice. In part two of this blog, we dive deeper into the nuances of competency-based assessment, including the use of rubrics, formative and summative assessments, the challenges of measuring competencies in a standardized way, and we’ll look at a number of assessments that are used on the CYPHER platform. We’ll also discuss the role of modern technology in facilitating competency-based learning and assessment. By the end of this blog series, you will have a better understanding of competency-based learning and assessment, and how CYPHER can help you implement this learning approach in your organization.

August 6, 2019 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/author/cypher) 3 minutes read You know those shows that interview people on the street? If random persons were to guess the hours teachers work, how many of them would get it right? Their answer might not surprise teachers. Sure, you work hard in class, but after that you get so much free time. You have the whole summer off, right? It’s not hard to figure out why they think this way. After all, teachers don’t shout from the rooftops each time they spend whole evenings preparing for next week’s class. Nor do they brag when reaching their grading goals for the semester. Well, you might boast a bit that in the teacher’s lounge. In reality, US teachers work around [12-16 hours a day](https://edtechmagazine.com/k12/article/2013/08/how-many-hours-do-educators-actually-work), give or take. These numbers tell us that teachers spend much of their “free” time actually working. This practice has researchers wondering whether we should rethink the [traditional grading system](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4041495/). After all, aren't teachers supposed to evaluate students fairly? Don't they have to focus on teaching and not on grading? That is why, under all this pressure, you might need a grading companion. Learning management systems (LMSs) have improved a lot in the past years, and continue to do so. [An LMS can help make grading faster](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation), more efficient and help you in your daily teaching tasks. ## 6 reasons why an LMS is the best grading companion for teachers I like geeking out over the latest edtech trends, but this time I will not focus on features. Instead, I will use a problem-solution approach, which can be used when choosing an LMS. For instance, if grading quizzes manually is a slow process (problem), look for LMSs that have auto-grading options (solution). 1. **Keep everything in one location.** This has happened to all teachers at least once. You have 25 students in your class and 2 missing papers. Now what? The LMS does this job for you since students upload essays and take quizzes online. The assignments will be stored there so you can say goodbye to ring binders for good. Grades will appear in the grade book so you won't have missing papers. You can leave feedback for assignments. In this way, students can revisit your comments and use them to improve future work. 2. **Grades can be automatically calculated.** Some teachers use pop quizzes throughout the semester to measure learning. This means hours and hours of drudgery as they need to calculate scores. Nobody likes that. The LMS helps you by calculating the final grade for each assignment. All you have to do is to set the correct answers and points for each question. You can also have a much better experience when grading essays or free-form answers. For example, an LMS uses anti-plagiarism tools to immediately detect cheating. 3. **Flexibility in grading options.** An LMS can have multiple types of assignments, from quizzes to essays, from group projects to online debates. It is important to have many assessment types if you want to keep everything online. Otherwise, you can create an offline assignment such as reading a book, and grade them once students complete the offline task. Plus, you can add exceptions for missing, incomplete, absent or excused assignments. Teachers can also create rubrics for different assignments in order to grade faster.

You don’t want all students to see it since it’s not really relevant for all of them. In this case, you can personalize assignments by hiding or showing them only to certain students. What is more, teachers can opt for dynamic personalization, which automatically hides or shows assignments based on students’ progress through the class. 5. **Advanced analytics.** Measuring learning progress is useful, but teachers usually don’t use analytics because it’s time consuming. They might also not want to reduce learning to numbers. However, in some circumstances, the right numbers can show where and when should a student improve their learning. For example, associating a competency or standard/proficiency with a quiz allows for quick intervention when needed. The LMS also shows student progress through lessons, grade averages, missing assignments for a class, among other statistics. 6. **An alternative to traditional grading systems.** Some consider the grade letter system to be outdated by now and have stopped using it. An LMS can provide the option to create custom grading scales that are more suitable. Plus, an LMS offers flexible options such as non-graded assessments. With the help of competency-based learning, you can see how well students are acquiring knowledge and skills. ## Conclusion Think how much time you spend on grading and how that time could be put to better use. Determination can only take you so far when the workload is in fact your main problem. An LMS is your biggest ally as you can reduce the time spent grading and even achieve better results. If your school doesn’t already use an LMS, there are a lot of options that are free for teachers and have a good grade book.

After all, the main goal is to customize the best platform for your organization. However, as any **LMS project manager** knows, preparation is everything. To make things go as smoothly as possible, here are some steps to take before **launching an LMS** for your school or university: 1. ### Talk to stakeholders Stakeholders such as **principals and district coordinators** don’t ‘just decide which LMS to use. In fact, they need to be up to date all the time since they are the ones to approve LMS budgets, whether we are talking a large university or small school. Make sure that they see the benefits of the project, and get constant updates. 2. ### Build an LMS team Teamwork makes the (LMS) dream work. An **LMS team** can be made of IT specialists, **edtech coordinators**, teachers, school librarians, and other staff members that can pitch in with ideas. However, you can assemble a team of teachers if the school does not have edtech or IT specialist roles. 3. ### Set clear LMS goals Knowing what you want to achieve is the most important part before the launch. Do you want to have all grades submitted in the **LMS gradebook**? Do you want to offer **blended learning** classes? Or, maybe use the LMS for teacher professional development courses? Write your **LMS goals** down so you can **track progress** later on. 4. ### Learn everything the LMS You don’t want to look back and say: why didn’t I know this **feature**? After all, you want to get the most out of your new platform. Since you already have the goals, curriculum, and content, take some time to **navigate through the LMS**, read the administrator or teacher guide, and get help from your LMS provider. 5. ### Customize your school platform Students won’t find it appealing if the platform looks like it’s a work-in-progress all the time. Instead, they will be more **likely to adopt it** if it is **customized to match the school’s identity**, including the logo, colors, photos, etc. Don’t forget that you can also add custom badges to **reward students** for completing tasks in the platform! 6. ### Prepare class content Again, to ensure adoption, it’s better to have **enough content** so that students have plenty to do. You can **build courses** in advance, even if they are not ready to be published yet. The school can also have some **announcements or events** added, and even some **discussion groups** or forums to get things started. 7. ### Map out the student’s experience Things are less likely to go wrong once you have a clear idea of what a **student's learning experience** should be like. You can choose for them to receive a **welcome message** when they first log in. Knowing how they will go from A to B in the platform will also **minimize potential issues** such as students not knowing how to submit their work. 8. ### Set up a pilot program School districts and larger universities have found it useful to **test the platform** with a smaller group of students and teachers. This helps the LMS team know if there are any problems that need to be fixed ahead of the full launch. They can also give you **valuable feedback** for improvement. 9. ### Train teachers and staff First, it’s important to note that a **user friendly LMS** is more likely to be implemented faster. However, to make sure that everyone is on the same page, it’s important to **train teachers and staff** to use the new LMS. Your LMS provider can be of assistance, and also offer **getting started guides**. 10. ### Teach students the LMS Depending on your students’ age group, they might need more or less help when learning how to get around the new platform they’re supposed to use in many aspects of their school life. Younger students need more **supervision from teachers**, while university students can receive a guide on the **basics of using an LMS**. 11. ### Communicate with parents This step is for K-12 schools that want to improve **parent-teacher communication**. It’s best to choose an LMS that supports **parent accounts** in which parents can see their children’s grades and **communicate directly with teachers**. However, you might need to give them more information the LMS, at a meeting or via email. 12. ### Make it fun! An LMS can boost **student engagement** and add an **element of fun** to lessons. For example, teachers can **add games** with points and badges so that they will be more **motivated to engage** with the platform. Students can also friend other students and set up groups for extracurricular activities, such as sports or theatre. 13. ### Create anticipation Finally, as the LMS launch day is approaching, you can leave teasers such as posters on school premises. Send emails to teachers with **tips and reminders**. You can also make a **special announcement** on the school’s website or social media pages.

Von reaktiver hin zu proaktiver KI 2024 ist das Jahr, in dem Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ihre unterstützende Wirkung und ihren Mehrwert entfaltet. Wir werden mehr Fälle sehen, in denen KI Menschen autonom unterstützt. Die Iterationen, die wir jetzt sehen, arbeiten im reaktiven Modus. Wenn ich beispielsweise eine Frage habe, wende ich mich vielleicht an ChatGPT oder die [CYPHER-Lernplattform](/cypher-copilot). Aber die Initiative liegt ganz bei mir. Bald wird die KI proaktiv vorschlagen: "Graham, hast du dir das überlegt?" Oder anbieten: "Soll ich das für Sie arrangieren?" In wenigen Augenblicken könnte sie bestätigen: "Graham, ich habe das für Sie organisiert und werde Sie in 10 Tagen daran erinnern." Dies hat eine Verlagerung hin zu einer interaktiven und bidirektionalen Beziehung zur Folge. Im Jahr 2024 wird der Schwerpunkt auf der Neugestaltung der Bildung mit KI als Kernstück liegen. Es geht nicht nur darum, traditionelle Lernmethoden mit KI neu zu verpacken, sondern darum, KI innovativ zu nutzen, um die Bildungserfahrung zu verändern. Virtuelle Lernassistenten oder Mentoren werden in Zusammenarbeit mit menschlichen Betreuern autonom unsere personalisierte Entwicklung unterstützen: Stellen Sie sich personalisierte Lernreisen vor, die von KI-Agenten gesteuert werden, die Sie auf der Grundlage Ihrer Interessen auf relevante Themen aufmerksam machen. Vielleicht machen Sie gerade eine Kaffeepause und die KI, die Ihre Vorlieben kennt, schlägt Ihnen ein neues Thema vor, das Sie erkunden können. Im Jahr 2024 wird es eine proaktive KI geben, die sich aktiv mit den Nutzern auseinandersetzt, anstatt auf ihre Eingaben zu warten. ## 2. Rohe KI vs. KI-Produkte Im Jahr 2024, beginnen Kontrolle und Aufsicht durch Menschen, den Nutzen der KI zu erhöhen. Frühe Fehltritte von KI-Anwendungen haben Zweifel aufkommen lassen. Fälle, in denen KI ungenaue oder unsinnige Inhalte produzierte, gingen viral. Im Jahr 2022 zog eine neue Version von ChatGPT innerhalb von zwei Monaten 100 Millionen Testnutzer an. Es war unvermeidlich, dass nicht jeder Austausch perfekt war - und fehlerhafte, ja "irrsinnige" Antworten erregten Aufmerksamkeit und Skepsis.Aber es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass diese frühen KI-Anwendungen ihre Rohform darstellen. Als nächstes integrieren wir KI in Geschäftsprozesse und andere Bereiche, und sie entwickelt sich zu kontrollierten, kontextualisierten und kuratierten Formen, die von menschlichen Experten überwacht werden. Im Bereich der Bildungstechnologie, in dem ich tätig bin, optimiert die KI beispielsweise die Erstellung von Lehrplänen. Indem sie mehrere Modelle mit menschlicher Aufsicht kombiniert, wird die Genauigkeit und Korrekheit von Informationen gewährleistet.Große Unternehmen wie Microsoft und Amazon integrieren bereits jetzt kontrolliertere Versionen der KI in ihre Systeme und markieren damit den Übergang von ihrem anfänglichen, unausgereiften Zustand zu einer reiferen, regelfolgenderen Phase. ## 3. Fernschulung für Fernmanager Im Jahr 2024 wird KI zu einer zentralen Ressource für das Management und die Abwicklung von Fernarbeit.  Die ortsunabhängige bzw. hybride Belegschaft scheint sich zu etablieren und stellt Teamleiter vor neuen Herausforderungen. Einige Teams leiden unter einem Mangel an persönlichen Schulungen, Verstärkung und Kameradschaft. Isolation und weniger spontane (Kaffee-)Pausen können zu einer Entfremdung führen und dem Unternehmen schaden. KI wird ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Gegenmittels sein, da sie eine ansprechendere persönliche Kommunikation mit Mitarbeitenden an entfernten Standorten ermöglicht - auch in großem Umfang. KI wird dem ortsunabhängigen Unternehmen dabei helfen, allen Mitarbeitenden einzeln und maßgeschneidert zielgenaue Fähigkeiten zu vermitteln. Gleichzeitig wird sie Managern helfen, in einer Welt des Remote-Managements erfolgreich zu sein. Im Jahr 2024 werden wir wahrscheinlich eine neue Welle von Managementschulungen erleben, in deren Mittelpunkt KI steht. ## 3. Vielseitigkeit der Belegschaft Im Jahr 2024 unterstützt KI Fernarbeitende gezielter. Das Vorhandensein von übergreifenden Kompetenzen, insbesondere von Soft Skills, wird für Unternehmen immer wichtiger. Lern- und Entwicklungsprogramme für Berufseinsteiger werden sich stärker darauf konzentrieren, Mitarbeitende mit grundlegenden Kernkompetenzen auszustatten, die sich auf Kommunikation, Zeitmanagement, Führung, zwischenmenschliche Fähigkeiten, Priorisierung von Aufgaben und Problemlösung konzentrieren. Unternehmen, die dies erreichen wollen, werden wahrscheinlich verstärkt einen modularen Ansatz für L&D wählen. Die Unterstützung von Arbeitnehmenden bei ihrer Entwicklung in jenen Bereichen, in denen sie am meisten Fortbildung benötigen, wird die Kultur dieser Arbeitsplätze verändern. Insbesondere dadurch, dass kontinuierlichem Lernen in Häppchen und maßgeschneiderten Schulungen Vorrang eingeräumt werden wird. ## ## 5. Für L&D Teams wird KI zur Rettung schlechthin Ohne KI werden Schulungsbeauftragte einknicken, da die Nachfrage nach Fortbildungen und Umschulungen im “neuen Zeitalter der Turbulenzen” stark ansteigt. Disruptive technologische Kräfte - wie KI und digitale Transformation – gestalten die Welt um uns herum neu. Die Art und Weise, wie wir arbeiten und wie wir unsere Aufgaben wahrnehmen, verändert sich rapide. Dieses "neue Zeitalter der Turbulenzen" - wie es das Weltwirtschaftsforum beschreibt - wird Schulungsbeauftrage zunehmend unter Druck setzen, massenhaft neue Schulungen zu entwickeln und zu aktualisieren, um wichtige Qualifikationslücken zu schließen und der Konkurrenz voraus zu sein. Drei Viertel der Personal- und Unternehmensleiter haben bereits Schwierigkeiten, mit den derzeitigen Ressourcen Weiterbildungskurse zu entwickeln und die Kluft zwischen denen, die mithalten können und denen, die es nicht können, wird noch größer werden. Diejenigen, die nicht mithalten können, werden nicht in der Lage sein, wichtige Qualifikationslücken zu schließen, so dass viele stagnieren werden. Da die Ressourcen stärker denn je beansprucht werden, wird dieser Druck zu einer stärkeren Verbreitung von KI-gestützten Lösungen wie Co-Piloten führen, die Ausbildern und L&D-Teams helfen können, ihre Effizienz, Produktivität und Kreativität zu maximieren. ## 6. Verbesserung der individuellen Lebensqualität Im Jahr 2024 wird die KI Kleine Aufgaben und Transaktionen aufwerten – mit großen Auswirkungen auf das tägliche Leben. Die Zahl der geringfügigen, kaum beachteten Begegnungen mit der immer leistungsfähigeren KI wird exponentiell zunehmen, und der kumulative Effekt wird erheblich sein.  KI-gestützte Haushaltsassistenten werden sich weiterentwickeln und eine Fülle von kleinen Besorgungen und Routinen übernehmen. Die heute oft zähneknirschende Unfreundlichkeit von Dienstleistern - Fluggesellschaften, die am Telefon aufhängen, Chatbots, die Kauderwelsch von sich geben - wird allmählich zurückgehen, da KI die Hyperpersonalisierung vorantreibt und somit schnelle, maßgeschneiderte und reaktionsschnelle Erfahrungen für jeden Kunden ermöglicht.  In einem Wirtschaftszweig nach dem anderen werden wir die transformative Rolle der KI bemerken - und zu schätzen wissen: Im Gesundheitswesen beispielsweise wird KI personalisierte Diagnosen, Behandlungsvorschläge und eine kontinuierliche Gesundheitsüberwachung unterstützen und die Notwendigkeit von Arztbesuchen verringern. KI wird das Herzstück einer Revolution der Unternehmenseffizienz sein, an welche auch Kunden Gefallen finden werden. ## 7. Die Metamorphose auf dem Arbeitsmarkt ist in vollem Gange Im Jahr 2024 haben diejenigen die besten Jobchancen, die am besten mit Veränderungen umgehen können. KI wird die Beschäftigungslandschaft grundlegend verändern. Sind einige Berufskategorien durch KI bedroht? Letztendlich ja, einige. Werden die Chancen die Verluste überwiegen? Zweifellos. KI bringt eine Fülle neuer Berufskategorien mit sich, da Menschen KI verwalten und beaufsichtigen, mit KI zusammenarbeiten und in Rollen schlüpfen, die mehr Urteilsvermögen und Weitblick erfordern. Die Treiber der digitalen Transformation, die hinter der sogenannten vierten industriellen Revolution stehen, werden dank der KI breitere, ja unvorstellbar weitreichende Auswirkungen haben, und das bedeutet ebenso weitreichende Veränderungen bei den Qualifikationen der Arbeitnehmenden. Alle Innovatoren stehen daher vor drei großen Herausforderungen: Menschen menschlich und respektvoll durch die Veränderungswelle zu führen, die Personalabteilung mit den erforderlichen Ressourcen auszustatten und sicherzustellen, dass jeder von den Vorteilen des veränderten KI-Arbeitsplatzes profitiert. ## 8. Überwachung des Risikos und der Quellen von KI-Voreingenommenheit Im Jahr 2024 nähern wir uns einer KI-Ethik an, die die Vielfältigkiet des gesamten Planeten widerspiegelt. Wie Ezra Klein sagt, ist Vertrauen die wichtigste Technologie von allen - und wenn die Menschen der KI gegenüber misstrauisch sind oder das Gefühl haben, dass sie sie nicht versteht, gerät die Revolution ins Stocken. Wir wissen, dass KI im Rohzustand – wenn auch unbeabsichtigt – gewisse Vorurteile kennt und blinde Flecken aufweist. Wir wissen auch, dass eine Ursache dafür eine zu enge Auswahl an Trainingsanweisungen ist. Eine weitere Ursache ist die unzureichende ethnische, geschlechtliche, wirtschaftliche und geografische Vielfalt auf der Entwicklungsseite. 2024 ist das Jahr, in dem Technologieinnovatoren ihre eigenen kulturellen Barrieren sprengen und Input von allen und überall her einholen, um inhärente Voreingenommenheit in KI-Algorithmen und -Systemen zu minimieren und wenn möglich zu beseitigen.

It's important to be self-aware, figure out your goals, and work towards them efficiently. With so many possible avenues, staying focused and keeping an eye out for opportunities is a rather tall order. Job security is no longer necessary, as it has been replaced with the agility needed to be relevant and useful regardless of how markets change. The fluidity of job roles adds to the challenge, and organizations need to be ready to address all of these by offering employees the resources they need. The well-planned career blueprints that used to be the norm are now obsolete, replaced by much more dynamic alternatives. ## Challenging job boundaries Millennials make up the [majority of the workforce](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/orate world. These younger employees have a certain restlessness in common, which has been the raw material for a lot of generational humor. However, it is nonetheless representative and relevant. And while they don't have the patience to spend years struggling to climb the proverbial corporate ladder, job promotions are not that frequent due to constant changes in the corporate scenery. The time of overspecialized roles has passed. Companies that want to stay relevant and have an agile workforce need to understand this. Strict job requirements are detrimental to employee development, so the boundaries have to be blurred. For workers to go from a "not my job" to a "now my job" attitude, they need a space that allows them to grow. ## Investing in L&D Today's dynamic business environment requires constant transformation. In turn, change requires continuous learning. While there is no shortage of available online material and educational opportunities, they are also difficult to curate. People don't have the time (nor the skills) to sift through heaps of content and figure out what is useful and what's a waste of energy. Therefore, organizations need to invest in modern [learning management systems](/business) and have dedicated teams ready to create and curate content. The support function of the L&D department is essential in any transformational process. For the learning specialists to offer employees the right materials and tools, they need to get theirs first. ## Rethinking career development Traditionally, career development was mainly a transaction between the employee and the manager. This included regular meetings, discussion of goals and KPIs, as well as action plans for defined periods of time. The relationship between team members and team leaders remains essential, and managers have to put in the time and effort to know and support employees. Yet, career development should become a crowdsourcing endeavor rather than remain in the province of one-to-one, formal meetings. Supporting individuals to reach their potential and move in the direction that is best for them should be a group effort that involves peers, L&D specialists, and HR consultants. Especially at a time when we're unsure what tomorrow's job requirements will be, it's important to have various perspectives and different people in your corner. ## Normalizing informal learning This comes as a natural continuation of crowdsourcing career development. It's no secret that people learn constantly, and the learning sources are as varied as they are scattered across various online and offline environments. Informal learning is not disregarding the organizational L&D structure and resources but democratizing user access to it and allowing employees to choose what, how, and when they learn. It also means accepting several external resources (like our old pals Google and YouTube) as reliable and useful. Instead of insisting that people follow a certain learning path to a T and go through all the modules in order, you can create needs assessments and have personalized plans for each individual based on the results. It shouldn't matter where someone got the information if it's correct and helps them be better at their job. However, this also means that L&D programs should not be evaluated by the number of users who complete them or by the hours spent online. Instead, evaluate what learners know and can do at the end. ## Closing thoughts Organizations have a full plate right now, trying to stay on top of markets in very challenging times. However, they need to look into the future and start planning for it. This entails a change of optics when it comes to career development. The sooner the transformation process starts, the better the results will be.

It’s essential to think your **personal brand** and how you want to be perceived by the world. Personal branding is even more important for a **course creator**, as your name appears right next to your course and people want to know who’s behind it. Personal branding done right might also help you get **more awareness** and **increase course sales**. Don’t worry! You don’t have to be a marketing expert to achieve this. You just need to learn a **few key practices** that will help you **build your personal brand** quickly and efficiently. Let’s have a look at them: 1. ### Define what you want to be known for What are your core values? What are your likes and dislikes? What makes you unique? Use this information to **put together a short bio** for your website. This bio will serve as a core guideline: how you **design your website**, what type of **messaging you use**, what kind of things you **share on various channels**, etc., should all be in alignment with your brand image. 2. ### Create a brand identity Creating a brand identity is paying attention to the **small details** that make a big difference. Ensure that you’re using the **same name** and **pictures** on your website and social media, as it will be easier for people to find you. Use the **same bio description** on all channels and align **all visual elements** such as fonts and colors to work well together. 3. ### Find and connect with your audience The key to finding your **true target audience** is to get very specific. After selling a few courses, look at your sales data. You might notice that your courses are **mostly bought by one type of person**, for example, men aged 25-35. That’s the target audience that you need to connect with. Find out where they **spend their time online** and engage with them on those channels.

Yet there are instances when something completely new is required and everything has to be thought of from scratch. In these cases, it’s good to know how the innovation process works and what techniques we can employ to get our brain to create new and different ideas. Here are five steps to Design Thinking based on Herbert Simon’s article from 1969: 1. ### Empathize The first stage is to get an empathetic understanding of the problem you are trying to solve — in the case of instructional designers, the learning gap that needs to be filled. This involves conducting a thorough training needs assessment, consulting team leaders, taking a look at a company’s short and long term goals and getting a good understanding of people’s previous experiences and present motivations. Empathy is paramount to a human-centered design process such as Design Thinking, as it draws the designer away from his own assumptions and into the reality and needs of the beneficiary. 2. ### Define This stage is putting together all the previously gathered information. Analysis and synthesis are necessary for identifying and defining the main learning gaps. It’s ideal to formulate the conclusions in such a way as to be very clear and empathetic. The Define stage is meant to help the designers put together a list of ideas to establish themes, techniques, and any other elements that will allow them to create optimal learning material and help employees and organizations reach their desired outcomes. 3. ### Ideate During the third stage designers should be all set for coming up with ideas. Having all this information, it is the time to become creative, think outside of the box and find the best innovative solutions. There are many techniques for achieving this: there’s the good old fashioned brainstorming, the more intricate [SCAMPER](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.C.A.M.P.E.R) or mind mapping just to name a few. It is important to get as many ideas or angles as possible. Later, an elimination and prioritization process will help sieve what is really valuable. 4. ### Prototype This is the time to produce a beta version of the modules. Since this is still an experimental phase, the point is to design the programs without spending a lot of time on the details. If possible, it’s best to produce several versions and involve several members of the team in evaluating them and giving feedback. The various modules should be subject to examination and improvement based on user experience. It may be a frustrating phase with some amount of work getting tossed but it is necessary in order to ensure a very qualitative result. 5. ### Test The fifth and final step is to launch the modules online and see if they are indeed a good solution for filling the learning gaps. The best way to test their efficiency is to choose a group of employees that represents the main audience, enroll them in the courses, collect feedback from participants, their colleagues, and team-leaders, and most importantly, allow for some time to see how the learning intervention gets translated into actual business results. 6. ### In conclusion Even though in cartoons bright ideas are amusingly represented by a light bulb suddenly appearing on top of a character’s head, real innovation takes time and effort. Following this process will allow instructional designers to create valuable material that will make a difference in organizations.

Here are 10 tips on **how to increase your email CTR**: 1. ### Provide essential and relevant content Content is key. The **subject title** is the first thing people see and the one that attracts their attention. If it targets **something they are interested in**, they will most likely open it. Once you create a catchy subject, make sure to provide essential and **relevant information** in the email body. Keep it simple, always having your audience in mind. 2. ### Optimize for every device Nowadays people are on the run, so more than half of the number of emails are opened on mobile devices. **Mobile optimization** is crucial because you cannot lose so many prospects due to poor **adaptation of content** to different devices. Even though most conversions happen on a computer, it is more likely for readers to open the emails on their phones. 3. ### Add images The purpose of email marketing is to have **readers do something** for you. Researchers have determined that emails are more **likely to be read entirely** if they **contain images** than if they only have text. However, don’t use too many, as that could have negative consequences. You should also include ALT text in case some devices cannot open the image. 4. ### Keep brand consistency Everyone feels comfortable when they see **something familiar**. It gives them a sense of belonging and it provides the **confidence people need** when taking any action. Make sure you have the same **logos, titles, images, fonts, colors**, and so on, for every single marketing tool you use in a particular email campaign. 5. ### Pay attention to the layout The way you **arrange things in your email** influences how much time people spend reading your content. It has been proven that the average reader stays focused for the first part and then scans the text. So, organize your email by placing the important aspects in an **F-pattern** to address the **modern reader**. 6. ### Consider a P.S. section A **P.S. section** is used when you want to add something important at the end of an email. You should leverage this possibility since people read the sections they consider important. This way, you make sure you've **regained your reader's attention** in case it started to fade from the first lines of your text. 7. ### Include social sharing icons Having the possibility to **share on social media** has become a constant in most campaigns. This happens due to the desire to make others feel your enthusiasm the **things you see, read , and want**. Providing this option to your audience will make you get in return a new list of **potential customers**. 8. ### Be careful with timing Timing is everything. To increase your CTR, you have to choose the **perfect timing** to send the emails. Studies have shown that people are more likely to check their emails **before and after working hours** and also during the weekend. So schedule a sending time for your next email campaign ASAP. 9. ### Personalize it as much as possible Sending marketing emails won't have an instant result. **Addressing readers by their names** or by **sending content that interests them** will definitely increase your chances of conversion. Try to **declutter your email list** to get rid of those subscribers that will never purchase anything. After this, you can send **personalized emails** and target a more relevant audience. 10. ### Never stop testing There’s no perfect recipe, so the only thing you can do is **test your choices**, see what works and then establish a template for all your campaigns. You can test everything from **subject titles** to **layouts** and **CTAs** to try to reach the draft that works. With each campaign, gather information your prospects and use it when your CTR drops.

A [recent survey](https://www.wiley.com/network/instructors-students/covid-19-online-teaching-resources-1/is-student-cheating-on-the-rise-how-you-can-discourage-it-in-your-classroom) indicates that 93% of teachers believe students are more likely to cheat if attending school online. This concern is not unfounded; plagiarism is prevalent and accessible for students, especially now. At Kansas State University, [academic integrity violations](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/cheating-remote-learning-chegg-slader) jumped from 97 cases in the reased by 65%](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/cheating-remote-learning-chegg-slader) in the 2020 semester. Using a strategic approach to upholding academic integrity is how you solve this problem. What we've learned working with institutions for over two decades is that plagiarism isn't just an issue of cheating. It's a symptom of other challenges and reveals a fundamental skills gap with consequences for students' future and institutions' reputation. Whether you’re a remote instruction beginner, a seasoned expert, a college professor, or a secondary education teacher, it’s critical that your students not only understand what plagiarism is, but also have the tools to build critical thinking skills to produce original work in a remote learning environment. ## You need more than plagiarism detection to maintain academic integrity As an educator, you're already encouraging your students to complete honest, original work. But it's important to understand that academic integrity isn't just avoiding plagiarism. The International Center for Academic Integrity [defines](https://academicintegrity.org/images/pdfs/20019_ICAI-Fundamental-Values_R12.pdf) academic integrity as a commitment to the following values, plus the courage to act on them: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Aligning these values with your classroom standards or school standards is a huge step toward achieving academic integrity. It's a process that requires participation from everyone, including educators, administrators, and students. This is how a culture of academic integrity develops: an alignment of community values and buy-in from all stakeholders. [Research shows](https://edintegrity.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1007/s40979-020-00052-8) that an active commitment to teaching academic integrity reduces plagiarism and academic dishonesty. It’s more than just a general “don’t cheat” message. Academic integrity is something to strive for. If you invoke the five values of academic integrity and work to create a class or campus-wide honor code — that students help create — the academic dishonesty and plagiarism rates will be far lower. ## Strategies to uphold academic integrity remotely There are several obstacles to upholding academic integrity in remote classes: the inability to see what students are doing, the difficulty in guiding them through the research process, and the lack of personal interaction that builds trust and positive class culture. However,  educators have many solutions can do to overcome these hurdles: - Teaching the key values of integrity and referring to them throughout the year, especially during/around the assessment period - Teaching students proper citation rules - Providing students with strategies and tools to help them avoid unintentional plagiarism - Teaching strategies for thinking critically the credibility of online sources - Clearly communicating assignment expectations - Designing formative assessments that are fair, varied, and rigorous - Providing actionable, formative feedback throughout the assignment writing process Read more: [How to minimize cheating in online assessments](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/how-to-minimize-cheating-in-online-assessments/) Accomplishing these things is challenging, considering how hard it can be to deliver remote assessments with integrity. Moreover, it's also difficult to keep up to date with [new types of plagiarism](https://www.turnitin.com/resources/plagiarism-spectrum-2-0). This is where e-learning and edtech solutions come in. ## Bolstering academic integrity with e-learning solutions The mission of e-learning solutions is to make the teaching/learning process easier for everyone. Remote education doesn’t have to be a stumbling block as e-learning technology enhances the virtual learning experience. With the help of these tools, instructors can easily streamline the assessment-feedback cycle, share resources, provide accommodations and modifications, and deliver secure assessments. A solution available to [CYPHER Learning](/academia) users is the [Turnitin Feedback Studio](https://www.turnitin.com/products/feedback-studio), which incorporates similarity checking, feedback, and grading to safeguard institutional reputation and deter plagiarism. A vast database of internet, academic, and student paper content ensures reliable results when checking student work for similarity with other academic materials. Time-saving formative feedback and grading tools help students cultivate writing excellence, build critical thinking skills for university and career readiness. Teachers can also easily check assignments to identify plagiarism. This tool helps build a culture of academic integrity in the remote classroom by educating students to submit authentic work. ## CYPHER Learning and Turnitin Feedback Studio: the specifics Educators can simply enable Turnitin Feedback Studio in the CYPHER Learning platform and start using it. Feedback Studio has many features that work seamlessly in the LMS, so it won't feel as if you are managing two platforms at once. - [Draft Coach](https://www.turnitin.com/products/features/draft-coach) is a new feature that helps foster writing and research skills by giving students instant feedback to guide editing and revision in Google Docs - **QuickMarks**is a drag-and-drop comment feature for fast and practical feedback - The **Feedback Studio****grading rubrics** help you clearly communicate expectations to students. You can post rubrics with corresponding point values and then evaluate student work using the rubrics. It makes the turnaround cycle for graded work faster and less stressful for both teachers and students - Feedback Studio also **compares the similarity** of student work to a vast collection of previously published internet, academic, and student paper content If educators want to go beyond the comprehensive plagiarism detection tools offered by the Turnitin Feedback Studio, they should try [Turnitin Originality](https://www.turnitin.com/products/originality), a supplement to the Turnitin plagiarism detection feature. Originality flags potential text manipulations, code similarity, and contract cheating, which are increasingly common. In fact, [one in six students](https://www.turnitin.com/products/originality/contract-cheating) admit to having engaged in contract cheating. ## The state of things for remote educators The coronavirus pandemic put immense, sudden pressure on remote learning. Although it is still a challenge to ensure academic integrity in online classrooms, the future of remote learning is hopeful. In this chaotic period in education, e-learning and edtech solutions are going to be very helpful. But e-learning isn’t the be-all and end-all of online instruction. E-learning tools are meant to help educators, not replace them. Teachers should support students by teaching them how to use e-learning technology and using learning platforms that integrate formative assessments. Teachers are the leaders of the learning process. Student success begins with them and the classroom culture they create.

Continuous learning and development are central to this mission, ensuring our teams stay ahead of technological advancements and industry innovation. By investing in structured training programs, we empower employees to effectively leverage emerging technologies, foster creativity, and enhance operational efficiency. Education is more than just a requirement—it’s a core pillar of our culture, promoting continuous improvement, adaptability, and problem-solving to meet the evolving needs of our clients and the world around us. However, to achieve these goals at scale, we needed a modern learning platform that could engage learners, streamline compliance, and eliminate inefficient manual processes. "CYPHER LMS has seamlessly integrated into our workflow and has become an indispensable asset. It can similarly transform learning departments for organizations and help unlock training and development potential." Daniel Frye, Sr. Manager Training Design INDUSTRY IT and Services COMPANY SIZE Large enterprise HEADQUARTERS Ontario, Canada SERVICES Digital transformation, cloud computing, cybersecurity, AI, and IT infrastructure Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! [Watch video 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWkb_MqCTPY) ## The challenge - Needed a more engaging and scalable training platform - Manual data tracking and compliance reporting were inefficient and time-consuming - Lacked structured learning paths, making onboarding and compliance training inconsistent Despite our commitment to learning, our **existing training system was not keeping pace**with our evolving needs. Learning was**lecture-heavy**, engagement was low, and **manual tracking** of compliance training was inefficient and error-prone. As class sizes grew, training teams **struggled to scale**, spending hours on administrative tasks instead of focusing on improving training effectiveness. **Compliance** was another critical challenge. As a provider to the **financial services sector**, NTT DATA must **meet strict regulatory standards**, requiring all employees to complete mandatory compliance training within 30 days. Before implementing CYPHER, manual reporting processes led to inconsistent tracking, making audits stressful and prone to **data inaccuracies**. "Before implementing CYPHER, we struggled to provide structured, engaging, and scalable learning. Manual processes consumed valuable time, making it difficult to maintain compliance and track learner progress efficiently." Daniel Frye, Sr. Manager Training Design ## The solution - Learning paths ensure structured, trackable training completion - Gamification transforms engagement, increasing learner motivation - Automated data tracking streamlines compliance reporting To modernize our learning ecosystem, we implemented CYPHER to automate training processes, improve engagement, and optimize compliance tracking. **Learning paths** provided a structured, step-by-step approach to training, ensuring that no critical sessions were missed. This feature **simplified compliance tracking** by allowing trainers to instantly verify course completion, **reducing the risk of audit failures**. **Automated onboarding** transformed how we train new hires. The self-left learning capabilities of CYPHER set expectations for employees to complete initial training independently, allowing trainers to focus on **higher-value interactions**. The platform’s **automatic credential distribution** significantly reduced the time spent on manual onboarding tasks, making it easier to **scale training across larger teams**. CYPHER **gamification** dramatically increased engagement, making learning more interactive, rewarding, and self-motivating. Since launching CYPHER, **1,470 learners have earned 3,897 badges**, turning training into an engaging, achievement-driven experience. CYPHER automation tools **eliminated manual data cleanup**, freeing up time for higher-impact learning initiatives. With role-based access, employees received personalized learning paths, and administrators could restrict access to sensitive training modifications, **helping to ensure compliance and security**. The implementation of **SSO (Single Sign-On)** and automated reporting helped streamline compliance tracking, ensuring that employees completed training on time and with full visibility for auditors. The CYPHER centralized learning experience allowed NTT DATA to launch new leadership development programs, such as the **GROW Leadership Program and Client Fanatix training series**. These programs, which focus on collaboration, trust, and client relationships, have already had **183 managers complete** their first module, with more in progress. "Finally, we have a cutting-edge tool that helps us advance and unlock the potential of modernized training." Daniel Frye, Sr. Manager Training Design ## The results - 96% learner engagement (up from 60%) with gamification - New hire test scores rose from 85% to 93% - Saved 24 workdays annually by eliminating manual data cleanup - Achieved 100% compliance for 4 consecutive months Since adopting CYPHER, NTT DATA training engagement has soared from **60% to 96%**, after implementing gamified learning paths to drive motivation and accountability. Onboarding has become significantly more efficient. CYPHER automation features have **reduced classroom preparation time by two hours per New Hire class**, allowing trainers to spend more time coaching employees instead of managing administrative tasks. **Administrative efficiency** has also improved. **Streamlined data retrieval has reduced in-class administrative tasks by 1 to 2 hours per session**, enabling trainers to focus more on learner engagement and coaching. Real-time dashboards provide instant access to student progress, performance tracking, and system activity, eliminating the need for manual reporting and tracking. **Test scores** have seen a measurable impact. Before CYPHER, the average assessment score was**85%—now, pilot groups average 93%**, demonstrating improved knowledge retention and application. **Improved data usability has led to significant time savings**. The data extracted from CYPHER is immediately actionable, eliminating the need for manual data processing. This improvement has freed up an **average of 2 workdays per month** that were previously spent on data cleanup and manipulation. Over the course of a year, these efficiencies add up to **24 saved workdays—an entire month of administrative time reclaimed**. With instant access to accurate, real-time data, the team **can now make faster, data-driven decisions**, further enhancing operational efficiency. NTT DATA new leadership development programs have already scaled successfully, with structured training paths ensuring managers receive consistent, high-quality training across multiple locations. "CYPHER has given us a seamless way to onboard, train, and track compliance—all while making learning engaging. Our team is now more productive, informed, and ready to innovate."

And deciding which platform to use to introduce AI can feel daunting. But the benefits of doing it right far outweigh any challenges. Whether you’re just starting out with AI and are taking baby steps, or you’re already well underway and want to get an LMS that’s up to your level, CYPHER Learning is the AI-powered learning platform you need. Our fully integrated AI, [CYPHER Agent](/ai-360), meets you where you are and helps you take the next steps with confidence. ## If you’re ready for an LMS that fully integrates AI A lot of LMS vendors are talking big AI, but aren’t really delivering any kind of cohesive approach that fully integrates AI throughout the learning workflows. It’s time to realize the transformative promise of AI in learning with a solution that has anticipated the change and is ready to deliver. You want AI to be accessible to every user, at every touch point. CYPHER can help. ## How CYPHER helps Fully embedded AI CYPHER Agent is fully embedded in the CYPHER platform and is tightly and naturally integrated into the learning workflows. While you don’t have to make it a part of every learning program, there are no siloes between what can and cannot be AI enabled. CYPHER Agent is always ready to assist admins, learners, and instructors, wherever they are in the learning process. Personalized learning CYPHER Agent for learners complements and augments your enablement strategy to respond to queries in real time—boosting satisfaction, completions, and engagement beyond one-size-fits-all courses. Learners get personal, accurate, enterprise-safe AI assistance that protects your IP while meeting their unique and immediate needs. This is no ChatGPT wall of text - this is learning carefully structured to support best practices in learning, completely personalized that will get them coming back over and over. High quality course creation Many platforms offer AI content generation, but only CYPHER Agent offers step-by-step course creation. What this means is that you can create a course (or just parts of it), and inspect the results at every step. For example, start by using Agent to create a course outline. You may choose to add or remove items and then have the AI generate the content, followed by adding quizzes, gamification, and more, reviewed and tweaked at every step. Content accuracy We’ve carefully configured CYPHER Agent to reduce risk of bias, hallucinations or inaccuracies, but we’ve also added a safeguard–AI Crosscheck. Any content generated by CYPHER Agent is crosschecked by another independent AI system that flags any hallucinations or inaccuracies for the user. No other AI content creation tool does this and it increases the validity of the content exponentially. Privacy Our relationship with our AI providers guarantees that the proprietary material that you use to build courses and your interactions with the solution will never be used to train the model or leave your CYPHER instance. The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within the CYPHER platform. You can set which topics or subject areas are off limits and you can monitor which prompts are being used and by whom to confirm that the solution is being used appropriately. Here are a couple of quick, safe AI wins you can get with CYPHER: - Increase the frequency with which you update courses by fully automating the creation. - Give subject matter experts access to create the courses based on their content (like product guides or go-to-market strategies). - Offer CYPHER Agent to learners to support learning beyond traditional courses with access to a knowledge base of useful reference material. - Enrich your skills profiles on courses and encourage learners to develop skills with the learner agent as a way to introduce them to new concepts and new courses. ## See how it works Create a course Support your learners Improve skills development You can start exploring AI without sacrificing the learning management support that you need to manage your programs–customer onboarding, partner certification, skills development, and more. CYPHER Learning is an award-winning LMS that empowers you to streamline your administrative work with robust automation, flexible content support, and personalizable learning paths.

Impact assessment: Before deploying AI applications, consider the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts and strive to minimize negative consequences. ## 5. Foster digital literacy Education and training: Advocate for and participate in educational programs that enhance digital literacy and understanding of AI among all age groups. Community engagement: Engage with your community to share knowledge AI and its implications. Participate in discussions and initiatives that promote responsible AI usage. ## 6. Advocate for ethical AI policies Policy involvement: Stay informed laws and regulations related to AI. Support and advocate for policies that promote ethical AI development and usage. Transparency and accountability: Push for greater opennessand accountability from organizations and governments in their use of AI technologies. ## 7. Promote cybersecurity Security practices: Adopt robust cybersecurity practices to protect your digital presence.

November 3, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 2 minutes read As organizations accelerate their adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a strategic roadmap is essential for L&D to move beyond simple experimentation and start delivering measurable value. No matter where your team is on this journey, you can continue to develop and execute an AI strategy. There are five distinct stages of AI readiness that define a team's current relationship with the technology. Take the [AI Readiness quiz](https://form.typeform.com/to/iPEc0r3P) to find out where your team is and how you can help them progress.  ## The 5 stages of AI readiness ### 1. Reluctant Explorer This is the starting point for teams that do not fully trust or understand AI. They may be exploring it only because it is a top-down mandate or appears inevitable. Their primary concerns are accuracy, privacy, and quality. ### 2. Explorer Explorers are curious but not yet prepared. They are "just trying things out," meaning AI use is minimal and haphazard. While aware of current trends, they have not yet established a plan for building AI into their formal L&D roadmap. ### 3. Experimenter Experimenters are actively testing AI in various pockets of the organization but still lack a cohesive, unified strategy. They have a limited vision for the positive impact AI could have if embraced and planned for, and pockets of mistrust remain. ### 4. Integrator This stage marks a shift to systemic application. Integrators have systematically introduced AI into select workflows, and it is being used consistently across the organization. They are focused on automating key functions and operationalizing a few workflows with the goal of expanding to more interactive solutions. ### 5. Optimizer Optimizers represent the maturity stage, leveraging AI strategically and embedding it across HR and L&D workflows and platforms. Teams at this level understand how to use AI responsibly, and they trust its use where it has been carefully and deliberately deployed. ## Why it matters Understanding your current stage on this roadmap is the first step to identifying the right actions—from basic AI literacy initiatives to advanced analytics—needed to move toward optimization. No matter where your team currently stands on the AI readiness journey, from the Reluctant Explorer to the Optimizer, every stage is a critical step forward. This roadmap is not judgment; it's progress. ## Advancing your AI roadmap: 30-60-90 day plan Moving from simple curiosity to a fully optimized AI strategy requires more than just an ambitious vision—it requires concrete, stage-specific action. The AI readiness roadmap provides a clear framework for L&D teams to assess their current capabilities, but the next critical step is execution.  By following these tailored 30-60-90 day plans for each of the five stages—Reluctant Explorer, Explorer, Experimenter, Integrator, and Optimizer—your team can systematically address barriers, build trust, and ensure your AI initiatives deliver measurable success. ### Reluctant explorer - 30 days: Launch an AI literacy initiative for HR and L&D - 60 days: Identify risks and necessary safeguards - 90 days: Review available AI in L&D against your risk assessment ### Explorer - 30 days: Launch an AI literacy initiative for HR and L&D - 60 days: Identify use cases, rank according to impact, and set success criteria - 90 days: Prepare to introduce your top use cases if your current technology supports it ### Experimenter - 30 days: Identify the areas that you want to improve with AI use - 60 days: Get your current baseline metrics and analyst insight into the future of AI in L&D - 90 days: Using your primary focus as a guide, identify 2-3 initiatives that align and are supported ### Integrator - 30 days: Align your existing AI initiatives to L&D and business KPIs - 60 days: Identify future goals and if/how AI can support them - 90 days: Assess your current LMS provider to determine if they can support those goals ### Optimizer - 30 days: Start measuring your success with AI with concrete numbers - 60 days: Audit all initiatives to determine if they should continue or evolve - 90 days: Begin outreach to your analytics team to explore analytics ## Get your personalized AI roadmap While these 30-60-90 day plans offer clear, strategic next steps for your L&D team at every stage, they are designed as a high-level blueprint for advancement.

Es ist teuer. Es ist kompliziert. Es ist schwierig. Die Erstellung von ansprechenden Kursen in rasantem Tempo ist für viele Lehrkräfte ein schwieriges Thema, da die technische Ausstattung sehr umfangreich ist. Auch der Übergang von der Erstellung zur Bereitstellung ist voller Komplikationen. Traditionelle LMS umfassen eine Reihe komplizierter Schritte - vom Hochladen von Inhalten über die Entwicklung von Tests und die Zuordnung von Kompetenzen bis hin zur Unterstützung mehrerer Sprachen, Formate und neurodiverser Inhalte - die wertvolle Zeit verschlingen. Personalisiertes Lernen ist eine ganz andere Dimension, die es zu bewältigen gilt. Unübersichtliche Technikstapel und zeitaufwändige Arbeitsabläufe behindern das moderne Lernen. Die Lernerfahrung leidet darunter - sie wird langsam, ist nicht skalierbar und erfordert ständige Investitionen in Geld und Personal mit unzureichender Nachverfolgung. Das ist der Grund, warum der Traum vom personalisierten Lernen für akademische Einrichtungen weiterhin unerfüllbar ist. ## CYPHER beseitigt diese Herausforderungen CYPHER ist mehr als ein LMS. Es vereint die zwei getrennten und verwirrenden Welten der Inhaltsentwicklung und -bereitstellung und konsolidiert nicht nur Ihren technischen Stack, sondern vereinfacht auch Ihren Workflow. Wir vereinfachen, rationalisieren und sparen Ihnen Zeit und Ressourcen, indem wir eine einheitliche Plattform mit 3 Kompetenzen: Learning Management System (LMS) + (Learning Experience Platform) LXP + Content-Entwicklung, ermöglicht durch KI. Wir verbinden die Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von Inhalten, um: - das Lernerlebnis an jedem Punkt zu verbessern - Lernen mit der Geschwindigkeit des Wandels zu verbinden - messbare und wirkungsvolle Lerninhalte mit maximalem ROI zu schaffen - Personalisiertes Lernen in großem Umfang zu ermöglichen - den finanziellen und personellen Aufwand für die Erstellung und Bereitstellung von Lerninhalten zu reduzieren ## Wie CYPHER die akademische Welt unterstützt ### Einheitliche Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von Inhalten Mit robusten Entwicklungstools und plattformübergreifender Automatisierung können Sie auf einfache Weise Kurse, Bewertungen und Gamification-Elemente entwickeln und den Inhalten Kompetenzen zuordnen - alles auf einer Plattform. Mit einzigartigen digitalen Lernprofilen lassen sich Kurse mühelos auf einzelne Personen zuschneiden, was maßgeschneidertes Lernen in großem Umfang gewährleistet. ### Gesteuertes und generatives KI CYPHER Al 360 ist ein einfacher und umfassender Ansatz für KI.

But despite the increasing popularity of online learning, a universal unfamiliarity has led to the abounding of **several myths** or **misconceptions**. So feel free to place the following 8 myths online education right next to **unicorns, dragons** and the **treasure at the end of the rainbow**! 1. ### Online does not mean high quality This might be true to a certain extent as the academic standards might differ from one institution to another. However, most of the reputed colleges and universities in the USA rigorously try to maintain parity between on-campus and online programs with respect to quality of teaching standards. It all boils down to the robustness of the infrastructure required for providing online instructions, the experience of the teachers, and their level of competence in handling web-based tools for education via the internet. 2. ### Earning an online degree is easy Though you may have the flexibility of studying at your own pace, you'll also have to take into account that there'll be nobody to remind you time and again a particular project or assignment which has to be submitted by next week. With online education, you need to be more **self-motivated** and dedicate more time when it comes to completing a web-oriented course whose syllabus or curriculum may be the same as the brick-and-mortar program. 3. ### Online courses are unaccredited or unaffiliated The validity of an online program depends upon the **accreditation standing of the academic institution** offering the course, just like a traditional study program. You can login at the website of [Council of Higher Education Accreditation](http://www.chea.org/) that regularly publishes and updates a listing of approved authorities or bodies that offer affiliations to higher education establishments. 4. ### Online credits are non-transferable Contrary to what you might think, transferring credits of an on-campus course might be as harrowing as reassigning credits for an online program. But more often than not, the college or university you're submitting your application to may not be in a position to make out whether the unaccredited program was pursued in a campus or followed up online. 5. ### Interaction with instructors is non-existent Though you cannot communicate with the mentor or lecturer face-to-face, there are opportunities to exchange views and opinions via a plethora of web-oriented modes. For instance, you can fix an appointment to interrelate with your teacher through **emails, online chat sessions, Skype, webcasts**, and **podcasts**. Plus, there are plenty of blended learning programs you can explore. 6. ### Cheating is rampant in online courses Many educators, who have extensive experience in both online and offline teaching modes have gone on record iterating that cheating as a malpractice can be resorted to in either of the two educational approaches. Though you can get an individual or institution to appear in a web-based exam on your behalf, be mentally prepared when you find out your answer scripts have been rejected on the charge of **plagiarism**. Instructors now have more tools than ever to use for cross checking plagiarism. 7. ### Employers don't recognize online degrees Some employers still screen out candidates based on Ivy League degrees. But more and more them are starting to realize that **real skills are more important than certificates**, and focus less on how candidates get those certificates. And if we think the relatively new and fast-growing industries like machine learning, software development, cyber security or even digital marketing, an online degree can actually impress more than a traditional one. 8. ### Reputed schools and universities don't have online programs Today's students feel at ease in an online environment and use technology to support their learning. Some institutions offer an online program as a way of responding to the 21st century learning needs. Big reputable names like **Harvard, Stanford**, and **MIT** already launched online courses. What's more, many of these online courses are free. There are at least **250 Ivy League courses** that you can take online at no cost but your time. ### Resources - [onlinelearningconsortium.org](https://onlinelearningconsortium.org/) - [chea.org](http://www.chea.org/) - [forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/sites/schoolboard/2016/02/25/3-online-education-trends-that-will-shape-how-you-hire-in-2016/2/#5587f4d3764f) - medium.freecodecamp.com Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

You may choose to add or remove items and then have the AI generate the content, followed by adding quizzes, gamification, and more, reviewed and tweaked at every step. Content accuracy We’ve carefully configured CYPHER Agent to reduce risk of bias, hallucinations or inaccuracies, but we’ve also added a safeguard–AI Crosscheck. Any content generated by CYPHER Agent is crosschecked by another independent AI system that flags any hallucinations or inaccuracies for the user. No other AI content creation tool does this and it increases the validity of the content exponentially. Privacy Our relationship with our AI providers guarantees that the proprietary material that you use to build courses and your interactions with the solution will never be used to train the model or leave your CYPHER instance. The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within the CYPHER platform. You can set which topics or subject areas are off limits and you can monitor which prompts are being used and by whom to confirm that the solution is being used appropriately. Here are a couple of quick, safe AI wins you can get with CYPHER: - Increase the frequency with which you update courses by fully automating the creation. - Give subject matter experts access to create the courses based on their content (like product guides or go-to-market strategies). - Offer CYPHER Agent to learners to support learning beyond traditional courses with access to a knowledge base of useful reference material. - Enrich your skills profiles on courses and encourage learners to develop skills with the learner agent as a way to introduce them to new concepts and new courses. ## See how it works Create a course Support your learners Improve skills development You can start exploring AI without sacrificing the learning management support that you need to manage your programs–customer onboarding, partner certification, skills development, and more.

Encontrar el equilibrio y dedicar tiempo a nuestro propio cuidado personal es esencial para que podamos servir de modelo a nuestros estudiantes. Estar preparados significa que necesitamos tener acceso a diversos recursos, incluidos métodos y herramientas para ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar habilidades de aprendizaje socioemocional (SEL, por sus siglas en inglés). Para los educadores que se están iniciando en este tipo de aprendizaje y buscan más información, recomiendo que exploren [CASEL](https://casel.org/), la Colaboración para el Aprendizaje Académico, Social y Emocional (por sus siglas en inglés), y sus materiales. ## Por qué es importante el aprendizaje socioemocional El aprendizaje socioemocional se ha convertido en un área de interés para muchos educadores, y en conferencias recientes, hubo más sesiones centradas en este enfoque que en el pasado. ¿Por qué es importante el aprendizaje socioemocional? Existe una conexión directa entre el aprendizaje socioemocional y las habilidades esenciales que los empleadores buscan ahora y buscarán en el futuro. Habilidades como el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación, la resolución de problemas y la creatividad, por nombrar algunas. Las investigaciones sobre el aprendizaje socioemocional han demostrado que abordar con regularidad [las cinco competencias de SEL](https://casel.org/fundamentals-of-sel/what-is-the-casel-framework/) en nuestras escuelas tiene un impacto positivo en el bienestar de los estudiantes y deriva en un aumento de su desempeño académico. ## Enfoque en las cinco competencias de SEL Debido a la importancia del aprendizaje socioemocional, necesitamos ideas y herramientas para crear mejores experiencias de aprendizaje que fomenten el desarrollo de cada una de las cinco competencias de SEL: 1. **Autoconciencia:** los estudiantes deben ser conscientes de sus habilidades e intereses a medida que aprenden. Es esencial comprender en qué punto del proceso de aprendizaje nos encontramos. 2. **Autorregulación:** a medida que se fijan objetivos y trabajan en las tareas, los estudiantes desarrollan las habilidades para lidiar con las emociones o el estrés que experimenten durante el proceso de aprendizaje. Con diferentes métodos y herramientas educativas, podemos ayudarlos a registrar sus emociones, y procesar y manejar mejor tanto las emociones como el estrés. 3. **Conciencia social:** los estudiantes necesitan desarrollar una conciencia de las similitudes o diferencias entre sí. Es importante comprender las perspectivas y diferentes culturas de los demás y desarrollar la empatía mientras aprenden. 4. **Habilidades vinculares:** ser capaces de pedir ayuda, ofrecer apoyo y trabajar como parte de un equipo son habilidades esenciales. Brindar oportunidades para que los estudiantes desarrollen relaciones en nuestros salones de clase los preparará mejor para el éxito futuro en el lugar de trabajo. 5. **Toma de decisiones:** cuando los estudiantes crean para compartir lo que han aprendido, desarrollan el pensamiento crítico y la capacidad de resolver problemas. Comprender las consecuencias de las acciones, concentrarse en el bienestar, procesar la información y encontrar soluciones son vitales para el éxito de los estudiantes. Hay una gran variedad de opciones para empezar, y es importante aprovechar los métodos y las herramientas que elijamos para crear espacios en los que nuestros estudiantes puedan sentirse más conectados con nosotros y con los demás. Podemos ayudarles a desarrollar habilidades académicas, así como habilidades esenciales de aprendizaje socioemocional. Recientemente, Buncee creó un [kit de herramientas](https://cdn.edu.buncee.com/user-uploads/app/ff59c44eorar el aprendizaje socioemocional en el salón de clases. ## Seis maneras de centrarse en el aprendizaje socioemocional Aquí presentamos seis opciones que pueden ayudar a crear oportunidades para que los estudiantes desarrollen la autoconciencia y la conciencia social, y se mantengan involucrados en el aprendizaje: 1. [Book Creator](https://bookcreator.com/) ofrece muchas posibilidades para centrarse en las habilidades de SEL. Los estudiantes pueden crear sus propios libros como una forma de compartir lo que aprenden durante el año y utilizarlo como una forma de reflexionar sobre su crecimiento. Las opciones para crear libros incluyen añadir texto, imágenes, audio y video. Podría ser crear un libro para que todos los estudiantes añadan su información “Sobre mí” para conocer a sus compañeros de clase o para conectarlos globalmente y generar conciencia social. 2. El aprendizaje lúdico es siempre una buena alternativa para promover la colaboración y aumentar la participación de los estudiantes. Existen muchas herramientas digitales que funcionan bien en entornos presenciales, híbridos y virtuales. Ya sea que colaboren en equipos y desarrollen habilidades de trabajo en equipo, o utilicen los juegos para hacer un seguimiento de su propio crecimiento y establecer nuevas metas, herramientas como [Blooket](https://www.blooket.com/), [Gimkit](https://www.gimkit.com/), [Kahoot!](https://kahoot.com/), [Quizizz](https://quizizz.com/?lng=es-ES), [Quizlet Live](https://quizlet.com/features/live) son excelentes opciones para explorar. 3. [Google Jamboard](https://jamboard.google.com/u/0/). Este año, disfrutamos de Jamboard en combinación con las salas de reuniones de Microsoft Teams. Es una forma rápida de hacer que los estudiantes trabajen juntos en un espacio de colaboración mientras se comunican en una sala separada. Aprovechar estas herramientas juntas promueve un mayor sentido de comunidad, en especial si los estudiantes están divididos entre el hogar y el salón de clases. 4. [Spaces](https://spacesedu.com/en/) ofrece una plataforma de portafolios digitales que ayuda a los profesores a comprender mejor a los estudiantes, sus intereses y necesidades de aprendizaje. Los portafolios digitales ayudan a los estudiantes a desarrollar habilidades de aprendizaje socioemocional de autoconciencia y autorregulación a medida que reflexionan sobre su crecimiento y establecen nuevos objetivos para su recorrido educativo. 5. [Tract](https://tract.app/) es un programa entre pares para estudiantes de ocho años en adelante, en el que pueden trabajar a través de clases a la carta o convertirse en creadores de su propio contenido. Con Tract, los educadores respaldan el aprendizaje socioemocional y la autoeficacia a través del aprendizaje basado en proyectos a cargo del estudiante mediante clubes de enriquecimiento y clases a la carta disponibles. 6. [Wakelet](https://wakelet.com/) ofrece muchas posibilidades de uso en el salón de clases. Los estudiantes pueden tener su propio Wakelet para añadir artefactos de trabajo, colaborar con sus compañeros o incluso grabar videos en Flipgrid para compartir su aprendizaje. Para el aprendizaje basado en proyectos, la creación de una colección de Wakelet les permite aprender unos de otros y explorar nuevas ideas y perspectivas. ## En conclusión Es importante recordar que encontrar formas de introducir el aprendizaje socioemocional en nuestros salones de clase no es algo adicional que tengamos que añadir a lo que ya estamos haciendo. Podemos incorporar actividades que promuevan la participación de los estudiantes en el aprendizaje mientras desarrollan las habilidades esenciales de aprendizaje socioemocional para prepararlos mejor para el futuro.

Trust us, you need one. Or, maybe you do have one, but it’s giving you a hard time? Trust your own judgement, you need a new one. The good news is that the market is now teeming with **LMS solutions** for every type of organization and a **wide range of expectations and needs**. The not so good news is that **buying an LMS** is a decision to be made for a longer period of time so it is really important to pick the right one. Here are the main questions to ask before venturing into an **LMS purchase**: 1. ### What formats will your LMS have to support? **Learning managers** and **instructional designers** are best qualified to assess the existing content that will be deployed using the new LMS and the **types of materials** it'll need to support in the future. Any learning system should act as a link between the past and the future, ideally managing to intertwine the two by adding **fresh features** to older (but still viable) modules. 2. ### What standards will it need to meet? **Standards are necessary** to achieve some consistency and to avoid total chaos. Decision makers have to take into account the product’s capacity to support **AICC, SCORM, xAPI** and lately **cmi5**. It’s also a good idea to first figure out which **standard is best** for the way learning is done in the organization. 3. ### What are the most important features for the organization? An **LMS** normally has to do quite a number of things and all (or most) of them are important for the **corporate learning process**. That’s why you should **prioritize** in order to figure out which are the best to cover the **needs of your business**. Decision makers can draw up their own list instead of using one provided by the vendor. 4. ### Who are your LMS administrators and what are their skills? Having a good idea of who will be **in charge of running the LMS** is paramount in deciding how intuitive it will have to be. Some vendors offer **administration features** which sounds great but it’s advisable to negotiate tasks and response times in advance. 5. ### What is your budget? When thinking **the budget**, keep in mind that apart from the initial implementation investment and the monthly fees, the organization might also have to **invest in infrastructure**. If you are considering a user-based subscription, it’s best to **negotiate the price** according to the number of enrollments. Take into consideration how **additional developments** will be made and billed. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

Our human brain is wired to give priority to visually appealing, eye-catching things over less than beautiful ones. This stands true in all sorts of situations, from choosing our friends to scanning a website — or an online course for that matter. If you want to increase revenue by selling online courses, you need to make sure the content is not only relevant, but also eye-catching. Here are some ideas to get you started: 1. ### Create a visual hierarchy This is mostly text, but it applies to other elements of your course as well. - The **title** should stand out the most compared to all other elements on the page - **Subtitles** should also stand out, but not as much - The **text in a quote** should have at least one distinguished characteristic - And so should **captions** for images and graphics How to do that? - different fonts and font-sizes - italics and bold keywords - colored links and list bullets 2. ### Choose images and graphics carefully Getting the right image for an online course page can be challenging. If a picture is really worth a thousand words, you need to make sure it says the right ones. A very good course can be easily ruined by the wrong pick of images and visual elements. - Choose images that are **relevant to the context** of the course - If there are **people** in them, your audience should **relate** to them - Don't forget the **** laws If you can't find the perfect one, just create it. There are plenty of free resources online available for you. 3. ### Align your elements If the elements on the page of your course are aligned correctly, the users can focus on what's important. They'll follow the visual hierarchy you carefully created instead of dwelling too much on an out-of-place element. - **Left alignment** — for most text - **Right alignment** — only for RTL languages - **Central alignment** — for titles, images, videos ***** - **Justified alignment** — better to avoid ***** Images, videos and other graphical elements may be also aligned left or right, but remember to be consistent. 4. ### Use contrast Contrast can be your best friend when designing your online courses. But contrast can also be your worst enemy. Be careful of what colors you choose, and remember: **less is more**. Three is just as good as a feast. **A neutral color** — for the most part of the text. There are more than 500 shades of gray you can choose from. **A statement color** — for links, keywords, buttons, list bullets and anything that needs to stand out. Don't overuse it. **A background color** — this one must create contrast with the other two. If the text color is dark, it must be light-colored. It's better to avoid the combination of pure black with pure red, yellow, green, blue, or purple. Always opt for hues, tints, and shades. 5. ### Be consistent Feel free to experiment with your options in either of the above categories, but don't do this within a course. The one thing you should never forget is to keep its consistency: - Use the **same font pair** throughout the course - Use the **same formatting** for quotes or image captions - Create or crop your photos to the **same dimensions** - **Align** all elements on the same part of the page or create a pattern - Stick to your **color theme** When you're pleased with how a lesson looks, transform the visual elements into templates, so that you can use them later. Each course should have a consistent design. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs.

Many platforms are built for enterprise-scale rollouts or small‑team training, with few addressing mid‑size nuances. A mid‑size L&D team typically supports at least 250 active learners monthly, scaling to several thousand across departments and locations. The best LMS adapts to that complexity while remaining lean and intuitive—ideal for teams without extensive technical support. Explore how such a solution can transform your L&D strategy. ## What mid‑size L&D teams need most from an LMS ### 1. Modular functionality without bloat Mid‑size organizations benefit from LMS platforms that let you turn features on or off based on your priorities—compliance, microlearning, or skills mapping. That prevents clutter and keeps teams focused. - **Modular release model:** Enable tools like webinars or social learning as needed. ### 2. Automation that reduces administrative load With onboarding and recurring compliance cycles, automation is vital. Tasks like enrollment triggers, reminders, and escalation paths must run reliably in the background. - **Workflow automation:**Notify learners when deadlines are near. - **Certification paths:** Auto‑renew credentials when needed. ### 3. Learner experience over sheer functionality An LMS designed for engagement, with straightforward navigation, mobile access, and interactive tools, leads to higher completion rates and better retention. ## How CYPHER Learning addresses the needs of mid‑size L&D teams CYPHER Learning aligns its capabilities with real mid‑size L&D challenges. Rather than overwhelming users, the platform offers thoughtful automation, modular design, and intuitive UX. ### Course creation for non‑technical teams The built‑in [course builder](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators), CYPHER Agent for creators, streamlines creation with content development, skills mapping, assessments, and gamification, no coding required.

The [workflows and automation](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/automation) tools help to ensure you only activate what you need. ### Skill‑based learning without extra overhead Built‑in competency frameworks and skill assessments help pinpoint where learners should grow—without custom development. AI skills extraction and mapping further simplify the process. ### Unified analytics that connects performance to learning Dashboards show real-time stats by department, course, or learning goal.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Navigating through various LMS options to find one accommodating diverse stakeholders' needs efficiently - Difficulty in ensuring seamless mapping of training activities to certification requirements for aviation remote piloting compliance - Simplifying onboarding for learners, instructors, and mentors without disrupting the learning process We provide training resources to schools across Australia for people that want to embark on drone training, our resources are aligned with certificate three in aviation remote pilot, and also align with the CASA excluded category. The outcome is that our learners can fly in the excluded category and be able to do that in the commercial sense so that they legally comply with CASA rules and regulations. It's very important that our learners learn to fly the drone the correct way following the CASA rules, and fly safely and not cause any accidents to other people. I investigated LMS systems in 2015. And researching which ones are the best ones for our needs. We tried lots of different systems and found that CYPHER was the better one to use. We had a pretty particular need. And we needed something that our learners would find very easy to use. We also needed our students' parents to be able to log in and monitor the process. The vet coordinators at the school Vocational Education and Training coordinators also needed to monitor the learner progress, the instructors at the school log in and assist us with the training. And they mentor the students through the programme. So CYPHER's LMS was the only platform that we could find that would allow those features and allow the system to work. So simple that it just worked. “CYPHER has the ability to map competencies back to the assessment activities that our learners are doing.” Laurie Radcliffe, Managing Director and Founder ## The solution One of the main requirements that we were looking for was the ability to map the training back to the requirements that we needed to be able to issue a certificate three in aviation remote pilot. CYPHER has the ability to map competencies back to the assessment activities that our learners are doing. So they can read through all the learning material and cross off what they've covered in the learning. And then they look at the activities that they're doing. As they complete those activities, it also maps back to the competencies. It's a fantastic feature. And it's something that really helps us when it comes down to compliance. CYPHER has the best solution of any LMS on the market. The support we have received from CYPHER Learning has been brilliant. We found that CYPHER was the only solution that could offer our business an entirely different portal for each organization, allowing the teachers (mentors), students, parents, and school training coordinators to have a separate login to monitor the entire learners’ journey in their training. ### Implementation The adoption process for learners is very seamless. We rarely talk to our students and mentors, our instructors will enrol them, and they pick it up extremely simply; a learner will rarely us with problems. The system just seems to work really easily and is user- friendly. The student has a lot of options on the screen that can vary from dark mode to light mode. They can put their own backgrounds in, they communicate with us via the system. So as far as enrolling new learners, it is probably one of the simplest systems we've ever used. We always have an onboarding session with our instructors. The help articles are useful. However, the system is user-friendly for my instructors. I also catch up at least four times a year with each instructor and give hints on how to do things. The learners seem to work it out with the support of the instructors. ### Features - The most important feature is that we can see what the learners see on the screen. So if they do have a problem with their training it may not necessarily be a system problem and we can help them. That might be something that they're trying to learn or understand. We can actually log in as them and see exactly what they're seeing and help them through the process. Most importantly, we want our students to have an enjoyable process, and to be able to see what they see on the screen is vital for our IT people to actually resolve any issues that they may be having. - The Organization feature is very valuable to us because each school has its own fully self-managed portal inside the LMS. - The ability to have two parents to watch over learners progress and the ability to have the careers adviser at the school to watch over the learners. - For learners and instructors the internal messaging system and the option to give answers when marking assessments are very helpful for us. - And finally, for instructors, the ability to enroll learners in the next course and have control over the courses. “The adoption process for learners is very seamless. We rarely talk to our students and mentors, our instructors will enroll them, and they pick it up extremely simply; a learner will rarely us with problems.” Laurie Radcliffe, Managing Director and Founder ## The results - CYPHER's robust reporting capabilities facilitated comprehensive progress tracking and assessment - Dedicated organization portals within CYPHER streamlined management and monitoring of learner journeys - Access to prompt and comprehensive assistance from CYPHER Learning ensured smooth problem resolution, fostering continuous learning evolution We find that the CYPHER platform has been improving over time, which has been fantastic for our learners. We've been using most of the features from the early days. We’re using the same features moving forward to keep the consistency for our learners. But the features implemented have been great in the reporting progress so that we can generate better reports for our clients. The best feature we've found, which has been fantastic working with CYPHER is the level of support that we receive. If we ever have any issues whatsoever, there is a support forum where we can actually log the issue that we're having. What I found is that most of the issues that I have been having are that the system is so intelligent that I've got to understand how it works. There have been some minor problems along the way. But the guys have been absolutely brilliant in resolving those issues, and they get it done really fast. And the most important thing to us is that we have that level of support, and the level of support is 100% there. The whole experience has been really good. “CYPHER allows me to work on my business and let my business evolve.” Laurie Radcliffe, Managing Director and Founder ## Resource [Read the PeerSpot case study PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/reviews-peerspot/CYPHER-Learning-case-study-from-PeerSpot-Drone-Operations.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

All findings in the report were validated by Censuswide. Key findings include: 1. Executives receive better quality and have more access to training than lower-ranked staff. 2. Almost every employee surveyed said training is critical for their role with two thirds of those agreeing professional development has given them a competitive advantage. 3. It is important to modernize development programs as many employees seek more engaging and fun training that is tailored to their job roles. [Read the Report](/resources/brochures/cypher/corporate-l-and-d-survey-report-2023-stuck-in-the-middle) ## 1. Executives receive better quality and have more access to training than lower-ranked staff As organizations tackle skills gaps and relentless competition for improved services and products, one thing seems clear: there’s a disparity between employers and employees on workplace development: - The survey findings show 88% of business owners and C-level execs are given a choice on when, where and how they do training; compared to 37% of entry level employees. - Furthermore, 42% of owners and C-suite executives who had training in the past year said they’d had more training than the previous year – while just 17% of intermediate or entry-level workers said they’d had more training than the previous year. - In addition to the amount of training on offer, business owners and C-level executives are almost three times more likely to call training “enjoyable” compared to junior employees and are at least two times more likely to call training “inspiring.” Conversely, 42% of intermediate and junior staff struggle with “boring and unengaging” training; with more than one third (36%) agreeing that workplace L&D has become “death by PowerPoint.” ## 2. Almost every employee surveyed said training is critical for their role with two thirds of those agreeing professional development has given them a competitive advantage Learning and development (L&D) is regarded as a critical factor in achieving business growth, employee satisfaction and successful recruitment. - The survey reveals 98% of all workers believe training is important for their role, with two-thirds (64%) agreeing that professional development has given them a competitive advantage. - Over three-quarters (76%) are more likely to stay with an employer that prioritizes training, with 71% agreeing that “a company that doesn’t invest in training doesn’t care its employees.” - Despite this, almost one fifth of all workers (17%) have not received any training at all in the last 12 months. Of those that have had training, some fail to see the benefits: - One-in-twenty (5%) say they have received no benefit from training. - 31% believe they are not prepared for future skills challenges. - A third (34%) forgot their training within a month of completing it. - It’s perhaps unsurprising that over a quarter (26%) of respondents see current training as a waste of money, offering no business value. ## 3. It is important to modernize development programs as many employees seek more engaging and fun training that is tailored to their job roles Analyzing what learners want from their training reveals that most use development to improve job performance. This is most likely because the higher that employees climb the corporate ladder, the more opportunity there is for tailored, personalized training. Findings include: - The top three desired outcomes include: improving their skills (45%), increasing their performance at work (45%) and driving up the quality of their work (39%). - When looking at how L&D efforts could support them in these goals, 41% of workers that have received training in the last year call for it to be more tailored to their job roles. Furthermore, 39% believe development should be more fun and engaging, with only 15% of respondents saying training they have received was fun. Introducing gamification elements, as well as technology like AR and VR, would make training more fun, according to two-thirds (67%) of workers. ## Summary Training is in high demand across many workplaces today, and employees know that training and development provides them with a competitive edge, but as this report shows, there’s still work to be done: with executives receive better quality and have more access to training than lower-ranked staff, and the important need for modernization and personalization of learning.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Selecting a suitable web-based learning management system (LMS) to integrate all academic work seamlessly - Ensuring compliance with college board guidelines during unforeseen circumstances, such as school closures - Coordinating extracurricular activities and announcements across different student groups effectively We needed to find a web based solution for our learning management system (LMS). We had another system that tracked our grades and attendance. We researched three possible options, then we tested them with a small group of teachers, our IT team reviewed those results, and made the final decision. “CYPHER Learning® was the best candidate.” Carol Gehringer, Media Coordinator ## The solution ### Features - **Easy access:**One of the aspects we like is the ability to access it via the web which is essential for our one on one learning environment. When we don't have school due to bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, teachers, especially AP teachers can still hold classes online to complete the instructions that they need to do to be compliant with the guidelines set forth by the college board - Daniel O'Brien - **Groups:**We like the flexibility that CYPHER offers, not just in terms of what you can do with classes, but what it offers in terms of group functions.

First of all CYPHER has provided a go to platform for all students, teachers and administrators to have as their online learning management system. Before, when resources were scattered across different platforms it was hard to know where to go to find things. But now CYPHER acts as our online presence so that teachers and students can truly interact and learn skills that are compliant with a 21st century world and education" says Daniel O'Brien. "We acknowledge that every teacher is different in regards to technology and comfort level and we try to meet those teachers where they are, we celebrate small victories with them, and we also encourage step-by-step development and learning throughout the year as they try new things with CYPHER." "As the educational landscape shifts into a pedagogy that incorporates 21st century skills, the 4 C's, and individualized learning, transforming into a 1:1 school has been an important change for GRACE Christian School.

Many companies around the world have a diversified workforce, often including employees who need compliant, accessible training content. Furthermore, federal mandates and regulations, such as the [Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)](https://www.ada.gov), require employers to design accessible options for employees who may need specific accommodations. While every situation is unique and subject to its own legal ramifications, it’s evident that the modern workplace must move toward digital accommodations. How can you accomplish this when it comes to designing accessible e-learning content? L&D specialists need a robust and feature-rich platform, such as a learning management system (LMS), to create highly accessible e-learning courses for all employees. **In this post, we’ll walk through six LMS features that can help you improve the inclusivity of your training process.** ## Why should companies create accessible e-learning and training courses? Accessible e-learning speaks volumes the culture of a company. For instance, workers who have visual limitations, hearing impairments, or learning disabilities deserve to benefit from the same learning experience as the rest of the employees. According to [Pew Research’s lusion-in-the-workplace/), “half of workers say it’s extremely or very important to them to work somewhere that is accessible for people with physical disabilities.” Showing care for current and future employees also showcases a company’s commitment to building a truly inclusive organization in the long run. Therefore, ensuring that your training or professional development courses are accessible is never just legal requirements—instead, it’s establishing a more holistic, supportive work environment. ### To accommodate everyone in your organization fairly According to CDC data, nearly [one in four US adults lives with a disability](https://archive.cdc.gov/#/details?url=https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2018/p0816-disability.html). Mobility, hearing, and vision-related disabilities are common disability types, but others may not be evident on the surface. Disabilities may hinder some employees’ ability to complete traditional training at the same pace as their colleagues, even if that training is available online or digitally. As a result, your latest e-learning courses must offer the same skills development opportunities to all employees. This includes the format of your course, how it appears visually, and how employees are evaluated post-completion. ### To comply with applicable accessibility laws In some cases, web [accessibility-related features](/business/features) are required to comply with the law. Under the revised [Section 508](https://www.section508.gov/blog/do-section-508-accessibility-standards-apply-to-mywebsite/) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, all information on federal government websites and those of recipients of federal assistance must be accessible. (Disclaimer: please verify your company’s exact situation with your legal team, as we cannot provide personalized legal advice.) Furthermore, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in several areas, including employment. This act was also updated to incorporate web-based accessibility practices. As a result, employers are now required to provide accessible training even if they deliver that training on a digital, web-based platform. To learn more how to make your online training more suited for everyone, you can explore the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), or [WCAG 2.0](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/). These guidelines determine the standard for web content accessibility internationally, while providing practical recommendations for e-learning courses, web pages, and business web applications. ### To ensure equal training opportunities Providing equal training opportunities ensures that all employees learn the skills and information they need to perform their jobs well. No matter what an employee’s background may be, an objective opportunity to excel in the workplace is essential. At the end of the day, fair and objective training opportunities create more positive opportunities for the company as a whole. ## How does CYPHER prioritize accessibility and compliance? CYPHER’s modern learning platform fully prioritizes [inclusivity and accessibility](/resources/brochures/cypher/accessibility-features) for all users, across numerous industries and use cases. In fact, CYPHER adheres to the **WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards**, ensuring a barrier-free digital experience for instructors and users alike. Here are just a few of the ways you can enjoy an accessibility-friendly experience with CYPHER: - Screen reader support. - MS Immersive Reader. - Voiceover capabilities. - Ready-to-use accessibility themes. - Light and dark mode. - Calendar functionality that supports screen readers. - Descriptive text. - Intuitive search functionality. ### How CYPHER solves accessibility challenges CYPHER’s built-in accessibility features are proactive—meaning that you can assist all types of learners succeed, even if you’re not yet sure which accessibility challenges they’re facing. - **Features for cognitive and motor concerns.** Learners who have already installed a screen reader like NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver can explore and use CYPHER without missing a beat. Our code is structured to include a skip-to-content button and semantically rich tags, making it easy to navigate with a keyboard and a screen reader. - **Features for visual reading challenges.** CYPHER Agent incorporates voiceover capabilities that transform micro courses into multisensory experiences.

Want to learn more how CYPHER improves training accessibility? [Download our full accessibility features guide here](/resources/brochures/cypher/accessibility-features) ## The LMS features you need to create accessible e-learning courses for employees [Inclusive online training](/blog/business/3-practical-tips-for-a-more-inclusive-training-program) necessitates the creation of learning content that everyone can equally view, participate in, and understand. Here are six main features you should look for in an [employee training platform](/solutions/employee-training) that enables learning accessibility. ### 1. Video-based content and video formatting Accessible e-learning courses must include (or be offered in) various formats so that employees can choose the one that best suits their preferences and capabilities. Some learners with disabilities might find it difficult to learn using long-form written content such as e-books or instructional manuals. To accommodate these learners, offer video-based learning content instead. An accessible LMS is one that allows you to record or upload videos easily, with the ability to use various video files and editing features. Accessible, compliance-ready videos should also contain subtitles or transcripts to ensure accommodation for hearing disabilities. Adding captions to your videos helps everyone grasp the key information. As an added bonus, consider creating simple how-to videos that teach users how to use the LMS with a visual walk-through of the platform. A video-based learner helpdesk (featuring short video tutorials) can help all employees troubleshoot, regardless of disability status. ### 2. Screen reader support Audio content is also an essential element with truly accessible e-learning courses. This means that you should choose an LMS that allows you to upload audio files easily, while syncing them to matching text-based lessons. Learners who aren’t able to follow written content verbatim can listen to learning material in a way that helps them retain more information. Screen readers are particularly important when designing accessible e-learning courses, and such features are often incorporated into various online platforms. This helps visually impaired people access the content they can’t read. Screen readers like [VoiceOver](https://www.apple.com/accessibility/vision/), [JAWS](https://www.freedomscientific.com/Products/software/JAWS/), and [NWDA](https://www.nvaccess.org/) work as assistive technology that reads the text displayed on the page out loud. When you create courses, the screen reader function should be embedded and easy to find. This way, employees with certain disabilities can also follow your online training by listening instead of reading, and do so in a way that respects their privacy. ### 3. Keyboard accessibility Up to [seven million adults in the US](https://www.accessibility.com/disabilities/mobility-physical#:~:text=Key%20metrics%20on%20mobility%20and%20physical%20disability%3A%201,difficult%20to%20walk%20a%20quarter%20mile.%20%28Source%3A%20CDC%29) have physical functioning problems that make it more challenging for them to use certain workplace tech, including a computer mouse. LMS keyboard accessibility lets learners access content using simple keyboard commands, instead of relying on a mouse to scroll down or drag and drop elements. Keyboard navigation can also help learners to use shortcuts to perform actions on the screen for ease and speed. Look for a learning delivery platform that offers [skip-to-content shortcuts](https://webaim.org/techniques/skipnav/) so learners can easily access the main content area without repetitive manual actions. Of course, [ARIA landmark regions](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/example-index/landmarks/region.html) such as navigation, search, and content information are also important while creating accessible online courses. ### 4. Flexible content editor Even when working with training videos, written content remains essential for any learning material you create for employees. A suitable, accessible LMS is one that provides a flexible course editor, allowing more ability to customize this content and change it based on the needs of your learners or audience. Different fonts and colors are key to making your content easy to read and follow. Additionally, zoom-in functions that allow learners to increase the texts and images until they get a clear read on the content. Adding [alt text to your images](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/tips/) (text-based descriptions positioned under an image) gives further clarity to any visuals or graphics that appear throughout your content. To make your training text more legible, split lengthy sections into chunks. Choose fonts that are easy to understand and background options that don’t make it hard to distinguish the letters. [Gamification](/tour/gamification) also splits content into achievable levels so that learners have natural pauses, allowing for better breaks and engagement. ### 5. High-contrast themes LMSs usually offer a variety of themes for building appealing courses in an immersive online learning experience. Contrast is not only important for aesthetic reasons. It is also key to making your content more readable for users who require extra visual support. Choosing high-contrast themes makes it easier for people with vision problems to distinguish the words from the background. This is also true for making links easily distinguishable from other text, preferably by having [underlined links](https://a11y-101.com/development/underlined-links). ### 6. Other important accessibility and inclusion features Modern learners often expect instant access to their training material across devices. Therefore, it’s helpful to use a platform that offers the same learning experience on in-office desktops, laptops, or mobile devices. Here are a few more [accessibility-related features](/business/features) that any well-rounded learning platform might include. - **New course enrollment**– This should be an easy, one-click process. Explore how to use email invitations that include automated course links and logins. This eliminates the need to search through multiple websites to get to the learning portal. - **Assessments**– These should also be easy to take and submit. Automated online quizzes are often more accessible than traditional tests that require writing. - **Instant access**– All learners should have easy and quick visibility to accomplishments and learning goals. A single, intuitive user dashboard (with obvious icons or navigation) makes course milestones easier to find and access. - **Drip content**– Slowly releasing new content can also help provide learners with disabilities a more suitable learning environment. This feature lets instructors schedule access to modules over time, instead of making all the content available at once. Drop content eliminates overwhelming and accommodates more learning styles. Moreover, [intelligent learning platforms](/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-features) further support trainees by offering them custom content recommendations tailored to personalized skills, previous actions, and new goals. In fact, personalization can greatly assist your company’s other accessibility priorities. ## Accessibility challenges and modern solutions Despite huge advancements in accessible online learning for teams and employees, there are still challenges to address. One of the biggest challenges involves complexity—in terms of LMS navigation, controls, and customizations. Because extraneous features might be confusing even to the average learner, it's important to find an [LMS that prioritizes user experience](/blog/business/nonprofit-lms-platforms), while making it easy to experience genuine human interactions. CYPHER accomplishes this by: - Dividing content into user-friendly course modules. - Creating clear navigational and skills paths that make the journey easier to follow. - Improving and enhancing reading ease (to benefit learners with dyslexia and dysgraphia). Because organizations often have multiple trainers who contribute to e-learning processes, discrepancies are bound to pop up. Having a single, foolproof learning delivery platform is crucial for establishing one consistent experience throughout the organization or team. ## Future-forward LMS trends The e-learning and employee training industry is constantly evolving. To remain competitive, new e-learning initiatives must remain accessible, compliant, and effective. That’s the case even when incorporating AI-powered adaptability into learning modules and skills paths. When considering learning trends, AI is set to be a powerful force in processes related to language processing, text translation, image recognition, and content creation. Unfortunately, unleashing AI-powered features throughout a training program without considering the impacts on accessibility can be damaging and risky. The solution? Bringing on a trusted training and content delivery partner that has industry-leading experience in AI-powered training features. For example, [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) allows teams to build courses more quickly, while adding accessible content and audio voice-overs that easily cater to all learning styles. ## Bringing it all together Creating accessible e-learning courses and employee training programs isn’t just checking off a to-list item. By equipping your training team with the best LMS features, and by paying attention to the difficulties your learners face, you can better ensure that your e-learning is powerfully accessible to everyone. An accessible approach not only shields your organization from known liabilities, but it also unlocks the full potential of your workforce by giving everyone the tools they need to succeed—both now and in the future. Start building a more capable and cohesive team that's ready to take your organization or business to the next level of growth.

With knowledge in mind and a sense of purpose, TED has impacted the lives of many. Since a lot of **entrepreneurs** have joined the movement and shared their experience with the public, you can easily have access to honest, raw and real talk on what doing business is like, on how to approach a business, what to focus on, and also on failure. Whatever you want to find out, business-related or not, you name it, they have it. Here are 10 on point **TED talks that every online entrepreneur** should see: 1. ### Do what you love (no excuses!) **Gary Vaynerchuk** is a well-known entrepreneur speaking not having any excuse when it comes to **choosing to do what you love**. With everything at your fingertips, you have to pursue your passion and find a way to see your dream come to life. Put in the work and make no excuses. 2. ### The nerd's guide to learning everything online **John Green** is a writer and online video maker who argues that not everyone can learn in a traditional way as he emphasizes the **benefits of online communities**. Online mediums can help create a web of learners who are passionate the same things and who eventually become **teachers to the other members** of the community. 3. ### Let's raise kids to be entrepreneurs **Cameron Herold** believes that kids should learn **entrepreneurial skills in school** and not to expect them to learn the same as older generations had to. That system does not work anymore and parents and teachers alike should recognize it. Both parents and teachers **should not ignore children's creativity** and they should foster an adequate environment for them to thrive. 4. ### Why some of us don't have one true calling There are people who couldn't decide on only one thing that they want to pursue. And why should they? Writer and artist **Emilie Wapnick** calls these people **"multipotentialites"** in an attempt to describe the ones who have **multiple interests, multiple jobs, and many interlocking potentials**. Are you one of them? 5. ### This is the side hustle revolution Podcaster and marketer **Nicaila Matthews Okome** is the creator and host of Side Hustle Pro. Back in the day when people got a job, they stuck with it. Today, we rarely stay in the same job or in the same career path. Now we can have **our dream job** or create one since more and more people are tapping into their **entrepreneurial spirit** while keeping a traditional job. 6. ### How I became an entrepreneur at 66 **Paul Tasner** is the co-founder and CEO of PulpWorks, Inc., designers, and manufacturers of biodegradable packaging for consumer goods, who **reinvented himself** at the age of 66. Seniors are increasingly "indulging their entrepreneurial instincts" and create successful businesses. Listen to his story and be inspired! 7. ### On sliced bread With a surplus of information, it has become increasingly hard to decide what products to purchase. Marketing guru **Seth Godin** thinks that bad or bizarre ideas are more successful than boring ones in that they manage to shock, to impress and to trigger the desired action. It only takes one such idea to be the base of a **successful entrepreneurial journey**. 8. ### What we're learning from online education **Daphne Koller**, Coursera co-founder, shows how **free online courses** can be a source of knowledge for learners and scientists alike. Learners study what they want and need for free, at their own pace while scientists gather data from "each keystroke, quiz, peer-to-peer discussion, and self-graded assignment". Online education is here to stay. 9. ### The surprising habits of original thinkers Organizational psychologist **Adam Grant** asked himself this question while studying the dynamics of success and productivity in the workplace: *How do creative people come up with great ideas?* He calls these people "originals" because they are **thinkers who dream up new ideas** and take action to put them into practice. 10. ### How great leaders inspire action **Simon Sinek**, leadership expert, reverses the *what, how, why* model and asks entrepreneurs to share with their customers *why* they do what they do, why they produce and sell that product and then focus on what the product is or does and how it does it. "**People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it** and what you do simply proves what you believe" is the core idea of the talk.

These coaches visited s every 2 weeks and taught people entrepreneurship, self-esteem, resilience, motivation and how to save money. This was a very successful program and the Government decided to make it into a public policy and introduced it to 10,000 families. After this they expanded the project to cover 25,000 families. “Our coaches really like CYPHER. We're working in very remote areas, and to our surprise that activity is not an issue because they are able to access it through a PC, tablet, or smartphone.” Fundación Capital INDUSTRY NGO, Finance COMPANY SIZE Enterprise HEADQUARTERS Colombia SERVICES Financial advice and training Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Addressing the need to extend financial literacy programs to underserved communities across diverse geographical regions efficiently. - Overcoming the challenge of maintaining learner interest and retention in financial literacy courses, particularly among marginalized populations - Navigating the integration of digital learning solutions into traditional educational frameworks to enhance accessibility and effectiveness. When we ran the pilot we only had a few coaches to train, but now with the growing number of families that benefit from the project, **we needed to find ways to scale up the training process in a very cost effective way**. The first challenge was to increase the number of coaches. So we thought a solution that would allow us to train coaches around the country, without the huge expense that travelling around would be, but still comply with a certain standard of quality. That's when **we decided to create online courses and get an LMS**. Quality control was the second challenge. I think the way we saw the course was that one needed to provide training and this was a very unilateral process in which you are providing content and teaching. **With the course on CYPHER we were also able to provide peer-to-peer training**. We used the online forums a lot because when these trainers went to the field they encountered a lot of challenges. A lot of them had to improvise, look for local examples and games, and simplify languages. With the help of online forums we asked them to share examples with others so that way we were promoting peer-to-peer learning. ## The solution When we decided to do the online course we decided to do a benchmark and we measured a lot of other platforms. We had the help of an independent consultant and he suggested we take a look at CYPHER. Eventually we got it down to two options. We chose CYPHER because we thought it was a well-established company, we liked that it offered a lot of features, it was very user-friendly, and compatible with importing content from other places. “We liked that it offered a lot of features, it was very user-friendly, and compatible with importing content from other places.” Fundación Capital ## The results - Leveraging CYPHER's platform, Fundación Capital expanded the reach of its financial literacy programs, empowering individuals worldwide with essential financial knowledge - CYPHER's interactive features and user-friendly interface contributed to increased learner engagement and retention, fostering a deeper understanding of financial concepts - By embracing digital learning solutions, Fundación Capital achieved greater scalability and sustainability in its educational initiatives, driving long-term empowerment and economic resilience within communities Our coaches really like CYPHER. We're working in very remote areas, and to our surprise that activity is not an issue because they are able to access it through a PC, tablet, or smartphone. Another thing is that the course is asynchronous, people really like that no matter how busy they are and how much they have to travel, the course is always there, at their disposal and they can read it whenever they need it. At the same time there is a tutor to motivate them, to encourage the exchange of best practices, and to provide feedback. The course is very useful, we are able to improve the design of the program because we use forums and the platform as a communication channel. CYPHER is very simple compared to other online platforms we used, more user-friendly, and the content is easier to deal with. We will continue with the course in future. We have already expanded in other countries. We are developing other online courses, thanks to this LMS, that help our clients and the government. In terms of support, the CYPHER team has been very responsive, every time we had an issue we sent it through the forum and we got an instant reply. “CYPHER is very simple compared to other online platforms we used, more user-friendly, and the content is easier to deal with.” Fundación Capital ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

However, it is just as challenging regardless of the subject and class level. By **including technology in the classroom**, teachers can not only prepare students for the 21st century skills, but they can also simplify their lives. An LMS reduces the amount of time educators spend on certain tasks and **animates the content** they are teaching. Read on to discover five ways in which an LMS makes teachers’ lives easier. 1. ### Learning on the go Although textbooks are becoming obsolete, a lot of teachers still use them to structure their lesson plans. Online materials are also handy, but not when scattered everywhere. With an LMS, it is simple to have **all those materials in a single place**, whether structured in learning paths or in the Resources area of a lesson. 2. ### AI as a virtual assistant Back in the day, artificial intelligence (AI) was associated with Sci-Fi movies, not to talk cloud hosting. Nowadays, students can use AI on a daily basis which makes **the learning process more enjoyable**. For example, they can ask Alexa different questions related to their account to plan ahead and **manage their time more efficiently**. 3. ### Improved analytics Gone are the days when teachers would use Excel docs to calculate their student’s grades. There is no need for pen and paper for analytics, as all of those **can be scheduled online** with an LMS. Teachers can get daily, weekly or monthly reports on the data they need. It also doesn’t hurt to get those **notifications on mobile**, and that’s exactly what an LMS does. 4. ### Flexible teaching While the traditional classroom is the only powerful learning tool in many communities, it also confines in more than one way. Not only does every single student need to be present in person at school, but the teacher usually presents the information in the same format. An LMS provides **multiple content formats**, such as videos, podcasts, presentations, or webinars. 5. ### Automated communication Teachers only have so much time on their hands. Yet, students also require a big chunk of their time and oftentimes parents need updates, too. An LMS reduces the time it would take to send those messages on different platforms, as **all communication takes place in the same area**. There is also an option to **send automated messages** when students haven’t logged in for a while and get in touch with parents through the mobile app. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

Since the need for **social connection** is hard-wired in our DNA, we tend to feel more engaged in learning programs in which our social needs are fulfilled. **Online training classrooms** have their advantages as well, the main ones being **accessibility and availability**. However, since they don’t involve face-to-face interaction with trainers and colleagues, people tend to feel disengaged and eventually quit classes altogether. Learning is not supposed to be a lonely pursuit and connectivity is not synonymous with connection. Let’s see what a trainer can do to bring back the “human touch” in the **virtual classroom!** 1. ### Small talk Log on half an hour ahead of the scheduled time and **get to know the participants**. Welcome them, show them the tools you will use during your sessions. If you have time, ask questions expectations, previous experiences with online learning programs and address any concerns that learners might express. 2. ### Warm-up Create **warm-up activities** for the first part of the training and try to engage all participants. For instance, play a video related to the topic you are covering and ask learners to share their opinion in the chat window. In this way, you create an **interactive environment** that makes people more comfortable with the platform. 3. ### Change of topic Place a few ideas on the screen and allow **participants to choose the next topic**. This will empower them and will give them a sense of control. Don’t stick to your predefined plan, be adaptable according to learners’ preferences. Especially when you work with adult learners, keep in mind that they want to be **involved in the process**. 4. ### Scavenger hunts Instead of simply sending information carefully organized in a file, try a different approach that will make finding the new information a **social experience**. Ask participants to work in teams and tell them to explore a platform in search of answers. If you feel that they are up to it, add **gamification** to give points to the fastest teams. 5. ### Connect the dots Add snippets of **text, images, and short videos** on the platform that are parts of a bigger story and invite participants to work in teams or pairs and put the pieces together. Then allow them to **share their version of the story** with the rest of the class. In this way, you help them work together and connect more with their peers.

Entonces, por ejemplo, OpenAI es muy sincero en cuanto a que si estás usando la versión gratuita de ChatGPT y estás copiando y pegando tus datos en su búfer, por así decirlo, entonces entrenarán a OpenAI usando esos datos. Por lo tanto, **no desea compartir datos de propiedad importantes con una versión gratuita de ChatGPT**. Dicho esto, también son sinceros en cuanto a que si estás usando la **versión empresarial de ChatGPT** o si estás **compartiendo datos a través de sus API, no se usan para capacitación, no se almacenan en ningún lugar**, solo son transitorios y serán destruidos. En CYPHER Learning, interactuamos con las IA a través de estas API y solo lo hacemos cuando el proveedor y el propietario de la API dicen que estos datos son completamente privados. Entonces, si está utilizando un **sistema como la plataforma CYPHER**, que utiliza API, **no debe preocuparse de que sus datos privados se compartan con nadie**. **¿Cómo verifico que la información que me brinda una IA sea precisa?** Lo primero es que **la precisión de la IA está aumentando rápidamente**. Todos hemos oído hablar del llamado efecto de alucinación, en el que a veces se equivoca en la respuesta o simplemente se inventa una respuesta, lo que suena muy convincente, pero en realidad es incorrecto. Que por cierto es lo que también hacemos los humanos. Entonces, reconozcamos también el hecho de que esto es algo que no es exclusivo de las IA: en realidad es un concepto general con cualquier fuente de información. Dicho esto, GPT 3.5, por ejemplo, lo hace con más frecuencia que GPT 4 y OpenAI ha declarado públicamente que cree que las iteraciones futuras serán cada vez más precisas. Entonces, lo primero es que creo que la tasa de error de la IA disminuirá drásticamente durante el próximo año. La segunda cosa es, seamos realistas, no queremos ser tontos. El hecho de que una IA te lo dé no significa que sea perfecto. En términos generales, **aplicará el mismo tipo de pensamiento crítico y verificación cruzada con información de una IA**, que también aplicaría ya sea que provenga de la web o de otro ser humano. Básicamente, póngase su sombrero de pensamiento crítico. En la plataforma CYPHER Learning, cuando creamos contenido educativo usando AI 360 con Copilot, somos muy honestos y directos y decimos que **las IA a veces cometen errores, hay que revisar la información**. Así que no estamos tratando de venderle a nadie que todo lo que haces usando una IA es perfecto. Sin embargo, estamos haciendo algunas cosas para reducir la probabilidad de una alucinación y también para facilitar que los revisores humanos encuentren posibles errores. Entonces, algo llamado **verificación cruzada de IA**, que saldrá bastante pronto de **CYPHER Learning**, **usará más de una IA y usará una IA para verificar previamente la precisión de la información que sale de la otra IA**. Una vez más, eso no garantiza que será 100% exacto, pero tenderá a minimizarlo. Por eso creo que, en términos generales, las IA son como cualquier otra fuente de información. Tienes que tener cuidado, tienes que comprobarlos, pero se volverán cada vez más precisos con bastante rapidez. **¿Debería preocuparme por los problemas de derechos de autor al utilizar una IA?** El 99% de las veces, no, pero el 1% de las veces, tal vez. Un pequeño repaso sobre cómo funcionan realmente las IA. **Las IA no copian y pegan todo el contenido de Internet en su cerebro digital y luego lo regurgitan**. Lo que hacen es revisar grandes cantidades de contenido, extraer la esencia de ese contenido y luego codificarlo en términos de números. Por lo tanto, es casi seguro que la IA nunca podría encontrar exactamente lo que lee en primer lugar porque no es así como almacena la información. Y al igual que un ser humano, genera información nueva a partir de todo lo que ve. Y cualquiera que haya usado algo como ChatGPT sabe que **cada vez que le haces una pregunta, te da una respuesta ligeramente diferente**. Y ese es un ejemplo de cómo no se trata de copiar y pegar. Una de las cosas que OpenAI y Microsoft han hecho es anunciar algo llamado "** Shield**", que subraya su confianza y compromiso para proteger la producción de IA contra cualquier tipo de problemas de derechos de autor. Entonces, si estás usando uno de sus productos y alguien te persigue y te dice que has violado un derecho de autor, entonces Microsoft u OpenAI acudirán en tu defensa legal, lo cual es una gran medida. Por lo general, puede utilizar el resultado con confianza, sabiendo que no está copiando y pegando desde ninguna fuente en particular. Y eso cubre el 99% de los casos. El **1% de los casos** que creo que vale la pena reconocer es que hay **algunos creadores de contenido**, **especialmente artistas**, que han pasado años creando una identidad muy, **muy específica y única**. Picasso es un ejemplo obvio del pasado, pero actualmente hay gente que hace lo mismo. Y si una IA de generación de imágenes aprendiera todo sobre Picasso y luego comenzara a generar 100.000 Picassos utilizando su identidad específica y elaborada, **entonces es casi seguro que sería un caso de violación de derechos de autor**. Así que hay muy, muy pocos casos verticales en los que hay que tener cuidado, pero en el 99% de ellos, como mínimo, no hay que preocuparse en absoluto. **¿Existen preocupaciones de seguridad en cuanto a los agentes?** A veces, si les das un alto grado de autonomía. Si tienes un agente en la caja, le das acceso limitado a diversos datos confidenciales, no le das acceso a tu billetera, entonces ¿cuál es el riesgo? Realmente no hay mucho riesgo. Es como la IA regular. Pero si dices "Te voy a dar mi número de tarjeta de crédito, mi código de seguridad, mi número de licencia de conducir" y le das toda esa información y lo dejas actuar, entonces sí, obviamente hay preocupaciones de seguridad; una de ellas es que podría vaciar mi cuenta bancaria. Así que, obviamente, nos enfocamos en el tipo de agente en el que no le das mucha información personal y no puede hacer cosas irreversibles en tu nombre. **¿Cómo pueden las empresas asegurar el uso ético de la IA?** Por "ético", realmente nos referimos a no usarla para fines destructivos o maliciosos. Ahora, el enfoque más obvio para esto es utilizar salvaguardias, lo que supone que tienes un lugar central donde puedes aplicar estas salvaguardias en todo el uso de la IA dentro de la empresa. Por ejemplo, en un próximo agente de aprendizaje, un administrador puede ingresar y poner una salvaguardia que no permita que las personas aprendan sobre temas no directamente relacionados con su título de trabajo. Esa es una simple. O en el caso de K-20, no querrías que aprendieran a fabricar bombas y armas, por ejemplo. Así que, obviamente, pondrías una salvaguardia para eso. Entonces, diría que, obviamente, puedes tener estándares dentro de tu empresa. Puedes tener capacitación en RRHH sobre cómo usar la IA de manera ética. Pero desde una perspectiva técnica pura, tener un producto que permita poner salvaguardias, creo que es una necesidad. **¿Qué sucede cuando los deep fakes mejoran y se pueden usar en la industria del aprendizaje?** Creo que hay algunas cosas sobre eso. Obviamente, si estás creando cursos, te gustaría tener un humano involucrado. Un experto humano puede asegurarse de que estas cosas no sean obviamente falsas. La segunda cosa, que es algo que hemos implementado, es una tecnología de verificación cruzada de IA. Y lo que hace es que, además de un humano, usará otra IA diferente para revisar tu contenido. Entonces, si es un video, escuchará el video y se asegurará de que el video no esté diciendo falsedades evidentes. Esas son dos cosas que puedes hacer, pero ciertamente es una preocupación, especialmente fuera del área del aprendizaje, porque los humanos necesitan poder confiar en la verdad factual para tomar buenas decisiones. Implementación de IA **¿Debería dudar sobre el uso de la IA en mi negocio?** Creo que hay **algunas áreas** de su negocio que podrían aprovechar inmediatamente la IA y **no introduce ningún riesgo existencial** para su negocio. Y hay **otras áreas**, especialmente una sujeta a altos grados de regulación gubernamental, en las que **quizás sea necesario tener cuidado**. Pero la otra cosa es que debes recordar que tus competidores podrían no dudar en ciertas áreas clave y cuanto más tardes en aplicar la IA, más y más desventaja tendrás. Por ejemplo, **con el aprendizaje electrónico, si está creando cursos 100 veces más rápido que sus competidores y a una décima parte del costo, ¿eso le dará una ventaja estratégica?** Si usted es una organización de capacitación o una organización de TI, la respuesta es casi segura: sí, estaría en desventaja. **NUEVO ¿Cómo usa CYPHER Learning nuestra propia plataforma para ser simplemente una mejor organización?** El primer uso de nuestra plataforma fue para la integración de nuevos empleados. Incorporamos a muchos nuevos empleados en diversas áreas de la empresa, y queríamos asegurarnos de que todos supieran la historia de la empresa, qué hace el producto y cuán globales somos. Todos los diferentes aspectos de nuestra compañía. Lo primero que hicimos fue crear un curso de onboarding. Ese curso en particular no fue creado usando nuestra IA (porque fue antes de eso). Construimos un hermoso curso de integración y aprovechamos muchas de las características ricas de nuestra plataforma, incluida la automatización. Por ejemplo, hay un lugar donde haces un cuestionario y, dependiendo de cómo te vaya en el cuestionario, obtienes ciertos puntos y medallas, y puedes seguir repitiéndolo hasta obtener los puntos máximos. Más tarde, usamos una evaluación de foro de discusión donde te pedían que nos contaras algo sobre ti y subieras una foto de dónde eres. Una de las cosas que me encantó de esa característica en particular es que todas las personas que están en el curso o lo han completado automáticamente reciben una notificación de las nuevas personas. Así que yo puedo estar sentado en mi escritorio y cuando una nueva persona se une a la empresa, puedo aprender todo sobre esa nueva persona. El curso de onboarding fue lo primero que construimos usando automatización y gamificación, y funcionó genial. Incluso puedes crear una pequeña búsqueda del tesoro, que dice que, para obtener los puntos y medallas por esta área, debes ir a un lugar específico en nuestro sistema, y una vez que regreses, hacer clic en completado, y eso forma parte de la búsqueda del tesoro. De esta manera, el curso presenta a las personas todas las características diferentes de nuestra plataforma. Ahora, el segundo uso fue permitir que las diferentes divisiones crearan sus propios cursos. Tenemos el departamento de ventas y el departamento de marketing usando la herramienta de creación de cursos con IA del agente de CYPHER para construir cursos para ellos. Por ejemplo, tenemos a una persona de habilitación de ventas, un experto en ventas, que puede generar un curso en unos 10 minutos y luego personalizarlo para habilitación de ventas. El siguiente uso de nuestra plataforma fue el departamento de RRHH, que usaba contenido de terceros. Nos integramos con 6 proveedores de catálogos diferentes: Go1, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, edX, OpenSesame. Licenciamos algunos cursos de terceros y los implementamos para nuestra capacitación en cumplimiento. Y lo último que quiero mencionar es que nuestro departamento de DevOps quería crear un curso impulsado por IA sobre seguridad y phishing, y queríamos que fuera muy, muy específico para CYPHER Learning. Así que el jefe de DevOps creó un curso en 10 minutos que proporcionó la estructura para todo un curso sobre seguridad. Luego esa persona entró y lo personalizó con capturas de pantalla y varias cosas específicas de CYPHER Learning y luego lo implementó en la empresa. Así que hay un ejemplo donde estamos democratizando la capacidad de crear cursos. No todo está centralizado en L&D. Esto permite que los expertos en la materia creen un curso basado en su experiencia de manera muy rápida. Nos encanta absolutamente usar nuestra propia plataforma para el aprendizaje, y creo que ustedes se beneficiarán de la misma manera que nosotros. **¿Cómo se compara ChatGPT con ofertas similares?** Ahora, debo admitir que tengo un ligero sesgo porque uso ChatGPT Enterprise durante al menos una hora al día, lo cual es bastante. Una de las cosas que realmente me gusta de ChatGPT recientemente es **una nueva función que aprende sobre ti y actualiza su memoria de ti, y luego se asegura de que esa memoria actualizada se tenga en cuenta en cada interacción**. Entonces, por ejemplo, si le digo a ChatGPT: 'Oye, ¿puedes ser un poco más conciso?', verás que actualiza mi memoria y ahora las interacciones son más concisas. De manera similar, si digo que me gusta la astronomía, tal vez encuentre relevante eso y luego le diga a la IA cada vez que interactúe con ella: 'Por cierto, a Graham le gusta la astronomía'. Así que creo que es una característica bastante genial. No he visto eso en ningún otro IA hasta ahora. También tengo la impresión de que ChatGPT en este momento probablemente sea el más superior o esté entre los dos mejores en términos de precisión y disfrute de la interacción con él. Ciertamente, acierta mucho cuando hablo con él y **pronto saldrá ChatGPT 5.0 en un futuro no muy lejano. Así que eso elevará el listón de nuevo**. También creo que tiene una integración extremadamente buena con herramientas. Entonces, si quieres hacer algún análisis financiero, puedes subir automáticamente una hoja de cálculo y automáticamente te generará una nueva hoja de cálculo. Creo que esa es otra área en la que realmente sobresale. Soy un fan, pero, ya sabes, el mundo está cambiando rápidamente, tal vez en seis meses, tendré un favorito diferente. **¿Cuáles son las limitaciones de ChatGPT?** Creo que hay bastantes en diferentes categorías. La primera que mencionaré es que **no es en tiempo real**, y lo que quiero decir con eso es que no tiene acceso a lo que sucedió hace cinco minutos, hace media hora o incluso hace una semana. Y estoy seguro de que eso está por venir. Así que la forma en que funciona ahora es que hacen un gran esfuerzo de entrenamiento donde analiza enormes cantidades de datos en un momento específico en el tiempo. Y luego eso es con lo que comienza la nueva versión de su modelo. Pero no se actualiza diariamente de forma incremental, pero casi garantizo que lo será. Así que será uno donde muy pronto sabrá hasta la última semana, y luego será el último día, y en cierto punto, será hasta el último segundo. Así que esa es una limitación. **Otra limitación tiene que ver con su profundidad de razonamiento**. Ahora, uso ChatGPT todo el tiempo y tengo que decir que creo que su razonamiento es mejor que el de la mayoría de los humanos. No veo a los humanos como las máquinas de razonamiento definitivas. Así que es realmente, realmente bueno, pero hay algunas ocasiones en las que no es tan bueno como un humano, especialmente cuando le das problemas de lógica realmente complicados. Pero eso se está abordando bastante rápido. Así que ChatGPT 5.0, el énfasis va a ser elevar el listón en sus habilidades de razonamiento. Mi suposición es que ChatGPT 5.0 será entonces mejor que el 98% de los humanos. Y en ChatGPT 6.0, será el 99% de los humanos. Siempre habrá humanos que sean mejores que ChatGPT en algo en el futuro previsible. Pero no creo que la falta de habilidades de razonamiento sea más que una debilidad a corto plazo. Creo que otra debilidad es **la forma en que maneja los datos propietarios**. Así que ahora mismo, ChatGPT está entrenado en un enorme corpus de información pública. Pero si tienes un montón de datos privados, no hay forma en este momento de decir, "Por cierto, para los fines de nuestra interacción, aquí tienes cinco gigabytes de información adicional y quiero que indexe esto al mismo nivel de profundidad que indexa todo lo demás". Así que ChatGPT 4.0 tiene la capacidad de recordar archivos que puedes cargar. Tiene la capacidad de indexarlos de manera similar a una base de datos de vectores, pero no los ingiere al nivel de profundidad del conocimiento público. Pero creo que será un avance cuando puedas darle un montón de tu información y su cerebro se vuelva más grande y diferente cuando esté hablando contigo en comparación con otra persona. Así que esas son las tres principales limitaciones que puedo ver en este momento. **¿Puede una IA gestionada hacer un mejor trabajo que el ChatGPT abierto?** La respuesta es definitivamente sí. La razón es la siguiente: tomemos el ejemplo de construir un curso moderno y sofisticado. Ahora, en una IA gestionada, básicamente solo tienes que llenar los espacios en blanco de lo que necesitas en el curso, incluyendo sugerencias y ciertos detalles especiales que necesites. Y, bajo el capó, usará la misma tecnología que Open ChatGPT, pero lo hace súper rápido. Cada mensaje se ingiere cuidadosamente y, no solo eso, sino que realmente construye el curso en nuestra plataforma en minutos. Si intentaras hacer lo mismo en ChatGPT, esa misma tarea exacta podría tomarte horas, porque tendrías que obtener cuidadosamente los mensajes, revisar todas las respuestas con cuidado y luego copiar y pegar manualmente cada cosa en nuestra plataforma. Así que la respuesta es inequívocamente sí. **¿Hay alguna conexión entre CYPHER Copilot y Microsoft Copilot?** La respuesta es que no realmente, pero más o menos. Lo que quiero decir con eso es que **CYPHER Copilot es algo de CYPHER Learning, que está completamente enfocado en hacer la vida de educadores y aprendices más agradable y eficiente**. En ese sentido, es un producto completamente separado de Microsoft Copilot. Hay muchos copilotos, está Github Copilot, está Fubar Copilot. Así que **copiloto es solo un término que usamos para enfatizar el hecho de que el humano está a cargo**, es como tu psíquico. La forma en que son un poco similares es que ambas utilizan la tecnología de OpenAI detrás de escena. Microsoft licenció la tecnología de OpenAI. Entonces, Microsoft Copilot utiliza la API de OpenAI detrás de escena. CYPHER Copilot utiliza mucha IA, así que no solo utiliza una IA para generar texto, utiliza varias. Utiliza IA de imágenes y muy pronto tendrá IA de video. Tiene IA de voz, pero una de las IA que utilizamos resulta ser el modelo de lenguaje grande de OpenAI. Así que tienen ese pequeño, poco en común. Pero aparte de eso, son realmente bastante diferentes. **¿Qué servicios de IA utiliza CYPHER Learning?** Actualmente utilizamos 5 IA diferentes y durante el próximo mes, aproximadamente, **eso aumentará a 7 u 8 IA**. La idea general es **que elegimos las IA en función de en qué son mejores, qué tan rápidas son y cuánto cuestan**. Entonces usamos una IA, por ejemplo, para la síntesis de imágenes, otra IA para la voz en off, otra IA para la transcripción de videos, otra IA para la generación de contenido. Pero lo bueno de nuestro sistema es **que nada de esta complejidad surge al usuario**. Simplemente haga clic en la casilla de verificación, quiero sintetizar imágenes. Y al ocultar esto al usuario, nos da la flexibilidad de reemplazar estas IA en cualquier momento cuando haya algo mejor disponible. Obviamente, nos comprometemos con nuestros clientes finales a que **todos sus datos privados sean completamente privados**. Así que no lo compartiremos con nadie. Nos esforzamos mucho para que nuestros sistemas funcionen de manera muy rápida y confiable. Pero aparte de eso, realmente no hay necesidad de que nadie sepa qué IA estamos usando detrás de escena. **¿Qué son las indicaciones de IA? ¿Hay algún valor agregado por usar un sistema que no requiere indicaciones de IA?** **Un mensaje de IA es básicamente algo que le dices a una IA** y, dependiendo de cómo hagas la pregunta, es posible que obtengas un tipo diferente de respuesta. Dentro de nuestro equipo de ingeniería, ahora tenemos mucha experiencia sobre cómo hacer la pregunta exactamente de la manera correcta para obtener la mejor respuesta. **No necesita saber nada sobre las indicaciones de IA cuando utiliza la plataforma CYPHER porque empaquetamos las IA**y le ocultamos todos los detalles desagradables. Todo lo que necesita hacer es marcar algunas casillas, seleccionar algunas opciones del menú y decir Ir. Otra pregunta es, **¿por qué no puedo hacer exactamente lo que estás haciendo usando indicaciones de IA?** Y la respuesta es que realmente podría hacerlo, siempre y cuando no le importe trabajar unas 100 veces más lento de lo que la plataforma CYPHER Learning puede hacer por usted. Entonces, para darle una idea, cuando crea un curso en nuestra plataforma, **activamos un mínimo de 200 mensajes**, muchos de los cuales operan en paralelo a una velocidad sobrehumana. Luego tomamos los resultados de todas esas indicaciones y, a través de una estrecha integración, **generaremos los módulos, las páginas, las evaluaciones, los cuestionarios y los glosarios a una velocidad sobrehumana**. Si intentaras hacer esto con ChatGPT, lo que hacemos en 10 minutos probablemente te llevaría entre 10 y 20 horas y cada vez que quieras repetirlo, tendrías que dedicar otras 10 a 20 horas a hacerlo. Entonces sí, podrías hacerlo. Pero no creo que sea un buen uso de tu tiempo. **¿Cómo se adapta CYPHER a los cambiantes políticas globales de inteligencia artificial?** En general, lo que hacemos es intentar que la **inteligencia artificial sea extremadamente accesible**para cualquier persona en la industria educativa. Está **empaquetada**, tiene **barreras de protección** y realmente no puedes hacer nada extravagante con ella. Así que la hemos hecho lo más segura posible. No podemos obligar a nadie a usar inteligencia artificial en contra de su voluntad. Pero cualquiera que quiera usarla descubrirá que es muy, **muy** **amigable con las políticas globales**. **¿Qué hace que CYPHER AI 360 sea único en el mercado educativo?** AI 360 es la etiqueta que damos a nuestra tecnología, que ayudará a todas las partes interesadas en el proceso educativo. Y nuestra primera oferta como parte de AI 360 fue CYPHER Copilot, que es increíblemente bueno para construir clases sofisticadas y modernas, listas para habilidades, en menos de cinco minutos ahora, porque sigue haciéndose más rápido. Y esa característica en particular tiene AI Crosscheck automático para precisión, síntesis de voz, síntesis de imágenes, generación de contenido - lo que sea, está ahí. Pero estamos trabajando en algunas cosas bastante sorprendentes. Aún no las hemos lanzado, lo cual no está relacionado con el desarrollo de cursos. Es otra parte del paraguas AI 360. Y en general, diría que lo que nos hace únicos es la velocidad a la que nos movemos y la amplitud de partes interesadas a las que estamos ayudando con la IA. **¿Cómo afectará la IA al conjunto de funciones de las plataformas de aprendizaje?** Si nos fijamos en cómo la gente suele utilizar las plataformas de aprendizaje, es para iniciar sesión y luego realizar un curso tradicional que normalmente se divide en **módulos y secciones**. Si tienes suerte, está **gamificado** y, si tienes mucha suerte, también realizará un seguimiento de tus **competencias**. Y esa es un área obvia en la que la IA puede ayudar. Específicamente, la**IA puede permitir que un instructor, profesor o docente cree automáticamente cursos increíblemente sofisticados** en tan solo 10 minutos. No harán el 100% del trabajo, pero sí al menos el 80%. Pero esa es una respuesta bastante sencilla. Creo que hay una respuesta mucho más interesante que va más allá de la forma en que la gente ha aprendido tradicionalmente utilizando las plataformas. Entonces, por ejemplo, muchas personas tienen algo que quieren aprender en este momento, algo que es muy importante, de misión crítica, no tienen el tiempo o la inclinación para intentar hurgar y encontrar un curso en su máquina de discos de cursos y tomarlo. Entonces, una de las cosas interesantes que puede hacer la IA es que puedes usar IA generativa. **Para que pueda aprender algo allí mismo, a pedido**, en un formato consumible fácil de usar, sin tener que realizar un curso. Y esto es algo que considero una especie de **aprendizaje instantáneo o aprendizaje justo a tiempo**, si se prefiere. Creo que lo más profundo que va a ocurrir también es que **estas plataformas muy pronto tendrán agentes personales**. Un agente personal **funcionará las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana en segundo plano, tratando de encontrar formas de ayudarlo a lograr sus objetivos de aprendizaje**. Podrían estar recomendandotú contenido, es posible que noten automáticamente artículos de noticias útiles y los resuman para usted, es posible que lo sigan automáticamente una semana después de que haya consumido algún material y le brinden un pequeño repaso. Esto es algo que creo que va a revolucionar la forma en que funcionan las plataformas de aprendizaje. Así que estad atentos y veamos si todo esto se hace realidad. **¿La IA sustituirá a los profesores?** **La respuesta corta es no**, ¿por qué siento esto? Yo solía ser profesor. Yo era educador. Solía ​​enseñar Ciencias de la Computación en la Universidad de Texas en Dallas. A la gente le gustaron mucho mis clases y una de las razones es la **energía**, el **entusiasmo** y las **anécdotas** que traje al salón de clases, lo que hizo que todos se entusiasmaran mucho con el aprendizaje yponer en el estado de ánimo adecuado. Y obviamente entregué los materiales básicos, pero hice mucho más. Hice muchos **proyectos prácticos realmente interesantes**: construyamos un simulador de red neuronal. Por eso siempre recibí excelentes críticas y **la gente realmente disfrutó de mis clases** y todavía hoy me envían correos electrónicos al azar. Entonces, **¿la IA no habría hecho eso? No me parece**. Sin embargo, si hubiera ido a una conferencia y todo lo que hubiera dicho fuera "Ok, todos, pasen a la página 15. Ahora leamos todos juntos", sí, probablemente podría haber sido reemplazado por una IA si fuera tan malo y tan aburrido. **Pero me gusta pensar que la mayoría de los educadores en realidad hacen mucho más**. Y lo más importante que puedes hacer es inspirar y motivar a tus alumnos. **¿Cómo pueden las empresas o universidades mantener una ventaja competitiva cuando el contenido generado por inteligencia artificial es similar para cursos construidos alrededor de temas similares?** En primer lugar, la inteligencia artificial no genera todo el curso. La **IA está destinada a generar aproximadamente el 80% del curso**, el núcleo que francamente nadie quiere pasar su tiempo haciendo, para que un **instructor pueda dedicar el 20% adicional añadiendo su propio estilo**, sus propias anécdotas, haciéndolo suyo. Si todos los cursos son iguales, eso significa que las personas no están haciendo su trabajo y simplemente están presionando un botón y luego simplemente están enseñándolo, lo cual no es en absoluto nuestra filosofía. La segunda cosa es que si vas a construir cursos utilizando IA, entonces también deseas que esos cursos sean **modernos y atractivos**, lo que significa que te gustaría que adoptaran un enfoque orientado a **competencias** para que todos los materiales estén etiquetados de vuelta a las cosas que están enseñando y evaluando. Te gustaría que estuvieran **gamificados**. Idealmente, te gustaría cosas como **locuciones digitales** para hacerlos atractivos. Lo que hemos hecho en nuestra herramienta de construcción de cursos, **Copilot**, es incorporar todo eso directamente en la herramienta para **ahorrar a las personas mucho tiempo y dinero**. Diría que lo último, honestamente, que brinda a las universidades la mayor ventaja competitiva son los tipos de instructores que contratan. Hay instructores mediocres que solo enseñarán siguiendo el libro y hay instructores realmente dotados que saben cómo hacer que cualquier tema sea animado, divertido y memorable. Quieres contratar a ese tipo de personas, la mejor plataforma que puedas ofrecerles, la mejor integración de IA que les puedas dar, eso los hará felices y luego pueden pasar más tiempo haciendo lo que mejor saben hacer, que es inspirar a sus estudiantes. **NUEVO ¿Cómo pueden los agentes de IA permitir la personalización?** Este es un tema fantástico porque cuando se ha hablado de personalización en el pasado, en el mundo de la educación, normalmente es a un nivel bastante mundano. Por ejemplo, te gusta la formación en audio, así que te recomienda un audiolibro. O prefieres ejemplos más avanzados, entonces elimina todos los módulos básicos y te muestra solo los avanzados. Básicamente, tú configurabas el sistema y, en función de la personalización, se activaba o desactivaba algo. Ahora, la IA generativa puede ir mucho más allá de eso. Tenemos la herramienta de aprendizaje CYPHER Agent y esta herramienta conoce todo sobre ti. Aprende constantemente a medida que interactúas con ella, como tus preferencias. Me gusta el ADN. Me gusta aprender todo sobre la secuenciación del ADN. Eso podría ser algo que sabe sobre ti. Y cuando accedes a la herramienta de aprendizaje, no está eligiendo contenido de alguna biblioteca; está creando contenido fresco justo allí para ti basado en tus propias preferencias personales. Te daré un ejemplo del ámbito K-20 y luego te daré un ejemplo del mundo empresarial. Supongamos que eres un niño y sabe que te gusta Minecraft, y luego le pides a la herramienta de aprendizaje “oye, quiero aprender todo sobre física.” Como sabe que te gusta Minecraft, literalmente generará imágenes inspiradas en Minecraft y algo pixeladas. Usará analogías de Minecraft mientras te enseña física. Estamos hablando de un nivel completamente nuevo de personalización donde el contenido en sí mismo está personalizado para ti. Eso solo es posible gracias a nuestro uso de la IA generativa y es increíble ver cómo funciona en acción. Miremos el mundo empresarial. Si digo que me gustan los materiales más avanzados y tengo un hobby relacionado con la ingeniería genética. Y luego digo “Por favor, enséñame sobre la secuenciación del ADN,” tomará todo eso en cuenta y lo presentará a un nivel más avanzado. Te dará analogías de ingeniería genética o cómo la secuenciación del ADN puede usarse para la ingeniería genética. Es realmente asombroso. Estamos entrando en un mundo completamente nuevo, y CYPHER Learning está 100% abrazando la IA generativa para habilitar la personalización de próxima generación. **¿Cómo pueden las organizaciones implementar mejor la IA en sus programas de desarrollo y aprendizaje?** Definitivamente usar CYPHER Learning, pero además de lo obvio, diría que hay diferentes maneras de usar la IA. Hay formas que son bastante superficiales. Creas una clase tradicional, pero tal vez solo etiquetas algunos videos usando IA y luego terminas. Eso es uso superficial. Y luego está el uso profundo de la IA, donde empiezas a auto-generar parte del contenido usando IA, usas IA Crosscheck para asegurar que sea preciso, donde etiquetas casi todo con las diferentes habilidades, y donde construyes mapas de habilidades dinámicamente usando IA.  Hay mucho más que puedes hacer con la IA y en CYPHER Learning, nos enfocamos en el uso profundo de la IA. Así que si quieres conocer nuestra plataforma, encontrarás que hacemos mucho con inteligencia artificial. **¿Qué es la gestión de habilidades habilitada por IA y por qué es importante para los departamentos de RRHH?** Si lo piensas, una de las principales cosas que quieres hacer en RRHH o L&D es ayudar a las personas a evolucionar en sus carreras, ayudarles a hacer mejor su trabajo, asegurarte de que se mantengan al día con las últimas tecnologías, etc. Y a medida que el mundo avanza más rápido, es cada vez más importante que las personas aprendan cosas. Pero no aprendes cosas al azar, aprendes habilidades muy específicas que son relevantes para tu trabajo. En el entorno ideal, lo que te gustaría poder hacer es que alguien, que podría ser tu gerente, tus compañeros o un agente de IA, te diga: "Hola Graham, para hacer mejor tu trabajo, deberías mejorar en las habilidades ABC y D", y yo diría: "Genial, por favor ayúdame a hacerlo". Idealmente, analizaría las habilidades que tienes, todos los materiales disponibles, incluyendo potencialmente expertos humanos que podrían ayudarte - cohortes - mapearía esas cosas y luego te ayudaría en el camino. Pero, ese proceso de coincidencia no es trivial, porque un departamento podría llamar a una habilidad particular X, un departamento diferente la llama Y, y un proveedor educativo la llama Z. ¿Cómo sabes que estas tres cosas son realmente la misma cosa?  Es posible hacer esto sin IA, pero requeriría un conjunto de conexiones bastante frágiles uno a muchos. Mientras que una IA puede adaptarse y es mucho más fluida en su comprensión. Y una IA puede decir: por supuesto, X, Y y Z son lo mismo - voy a reunir todas esas cosas. Por lo tanto, la IA tiene el potencial de romper muchas de las barreras para entender habilidades, mapeándolas y luego ayudando a las personas a mejorar en las habilidades que necesitan para su trabajo. **¿Cómo está ayudando CYPHER Learning a las empresas que desean usar educación basada en habilidades?** Una de las cosas que estamos haciendo es facilitar mucho la creación de contenido educativo fresco y moderno y asociarlo con habilidades detalladas. A lo que me refiero con habilidades detalladas es, por ejemplo, si construyes un curso sobre marketing digital, no quieres decir que el curso es solo marketing. Quieres decir, aquí está SEO, aquí está PPC, y aquí está gestión de marca. Así que cada evaluación, cada pregunta de cuestionario, cada video, todo está mapeado a esas habilidades. Luego, al hacer esto, si alguien toma un curso y pasa por él, podrás determinar su comprensión de todas esas habilidades. Al etiquetar esas cosas, las personas que tienen deficiencias en una habilidad, que quieren mejorar en una habilidad, pueden encontrar esos materiales muy fácilmente. Y hemos encontrado que sin usar IA, es una carga mucho mayor para el personal de L&D crear materiales listos para habilidades. Ahora, estamos haciendo cosas aún más interesantes al generar dinámicamente contenido personalizado basado en tus requisitos de habilidad, más sobre eso más adelante. Así que manténgase atentos. **¿Es una pérdida de tiempo capacitarse en IA?** Diría que Sí y No. Creo que es muy bueno que las personas aprendan lo suficiente sobre una IA para darse cuenta de que cometen errores, que debes ser persistente y conversacional con ellos para llegar a donde quieres estar. Creo que eso es bueno. Pero creo que pasar tiempo capacitándote en cómo convertirte en tu propio ingeniero de prompts es principalmente una pérdida de tiempo. Por ejemplo, si quieres construir cursos en unos pocos minutos, vas a nuestra plataforma, no tienes que saber nada sobre ingeniería de prompts. Solo dices, construye un curso sobre esto, completa los espacios y luego dar click en avanzar. Así que creemos que cada vez más la IA se empaquetará y se gestionará, por lo que no tendrás que saber mucho sobre IA. Pero debes darte cuenta de que no es perfecta y todavía estás en control. **¿Usar IA es hacer trampa?** Depende. Te daré un caso obvio de trampa. Caso número uno: tienes a un niño en la escuela. Recibe una pregunta de tarea. La pone en ChatGPT, la copia y pega, y no usa su cerebro. Obviamente es hacer trampa. El segundo caso: le pido a un ingeniero un informe diario y, en lugar de escribir lo que hizo, usa ChatGPT, obviamente es hacer trampa. Sin embargo, algunos otros ejemplos: digamos que estás en K-20, trabajando en un trabajo de fin de semestre y es realmente complicado, y quieres revisarlo con IA al final para mejorar tu estilo de escritura, etc. No es hacer trampa. Eso es usar una IA para complementar lo que tu cerebro ya ha hecho en su mayoría. Eres un desarrollador y estás trabajando en una parte complicada de ingeniería y hay una pieza de código particular que quieres hacer. Es un código bastante básico, pero no quieres gastar el tiempo en hacerlo. Usas una IA para hacer eso, no es hacer trampa. Así que hay un par de ejemplos donde, definitivamente es hacer trampa, definitivamente no lo es. **¿Cómo veo la evolución de las habilidades humanas y la IA en el lugar de trabajo?** Creo que la IA ciertamente va a mejorar cada vez más. Lo que significa que un ser humano que sepa cómo trabajar junto con una IA podrá multiplicar enormemente sus poderes productivos. Pero también significa que los humanos que no sepan cómo usar una IA gradualmente quedarán atrás en sus carreras elegidas. Así que creo que las IA, y especialmente con la llegada de la tecnología de agentes, definitivamente van a mejorar, serán cada vez más productivas cuando trabajen junto con un humano que sepa cómo utilizarlas. **¿Deberían los trabajadores estar preocupados por la implementación de IA en el lugar de trabajo?** Diría que, en general, sí. Hay algunas razones que me vienen a la mente. En primer lugar, estas IA están mejorando, lo que significa que las personas van a tener que mantenerse cada vez más en o con habilidades modernas. Y si estás en un lugar de trabajo que, obviamente, eventualmente será completamente reemplazado por IA, necesitas pensar en cómo tomar tus habilidades y aplicarlas a una industria completamente abierta para los trabajadores humanos. Así que esa sería una razón obvia. La segunda razón, que no es tan obvia, es que algunos negocios están demasiado entusiastas y demasiado decididos a usar la IA, y tu jefe podría decirte "sí, usa una IA para eso", mientras que tú, como trabajador experimentado, podrías decir "aún no está listo para eso, por favor no lo hagas". Entonces, creo que otra cosa es que la gente a veces tiene que oponerse y tal vez alertar a la alta dirección si ven que la IA se está utilizando de maneras que no son apropiadas, al menos en este momento. **NUEVO ¿Cómo puede la IA ayudar en el desarrollo de habilidades de los empleados?** Todos sabemos que el mundo está cambiando más rápido que nunca y que las habilidades que tienen tus empleados pueden no estar completamente actualizadas. Cada empresa necesita tener un mecanismo donde las personas puedan mejorar sus habilidades de manera regular. Y los empleados también lo aprecian, no solo los gerentes lo valoran; a las personas les gusta mantenerse al día con sus habilidades. Existen dos formas diferentes de hacer esto en la plataforma de CYPHER Learning, impulsada por CYPHER Agent. La primera es si el departamento de L&D (aprendizaje y desarrollo) quiere crear cada vez más cursos actualizados. Nuestra herramienta de creación de cursos, impulsada por CYPHER Agent, permitirá a esas personas crear cursos mucho más rápido de lo que jamás podrían haber hecho antes; hablamos de días, no de semanas o meses, y a un costo mucho más bajo. Una forma en que permitimos que la IA ayude en el desarrollo de habilidades es para que L&D cree una gran cantidad de cursos que las personas puedan tomar para mantenerse al día con sus habilidades. Y no solo L&D. Permitimos la democratización de la creación de cursos. Así que las personas de habilitación de ventas pueden crear sus propios cursos muy fácilmente. Las personas de marketing pueden crear sus propios cursos muy fácilmente. Las personas de ingeniería también. Lo que estamos viendo con CYPHER Agent es que las personas pueden crear, mucho más rápido, cursos para permitir que sus empleados se mantengan actualizados. Lo segundo que hacemos, lo cual es único en CYPHER Learning, es que CYPHER Agent también impulsa una herramienta de aprendizaje. Y lo que esta herramienta de aprendizaje permite es que cualquiera pueda hacer clic en un botón, decirle al agente lo que quiere aprender y luego, en tiempo real, te ofrece una experiencia de aprendizaje con IA generativa que va mucho más allá de lo que puedes obtener en ChatGPT. Si digo que quiero aprender sobre liderazgo digital, el sistema se encargará de averiguar cuáles son todos los conceptos que necesito aprender. Generará un mapa conceptual gráfico e interactivo. Creará una tabla de contenido que te permitirá hacer clic en cualquier área en particular que te interese. Y cuando hagas clic en un área específica, generará contenido personalizado solo para ti, basado en todo lo que sabe sobre tu perfil personal, tus intereses, tus experiencias, por lo que estará adaptado especialmente para ti. También hace un chequeo cruzado con IA. Usamos 2 AIs premium, no una. Una de ellas genera el contenido y la otra, de un proveedor diferente, está validando ese contenido en tiempo real. Somos la única empresa que conozco que hace esto, y eso es para asegurar que tus empleados obtengan información precisa en el momento. Lo otro que voy a mencionar es que en cualquier parte de nuestro sistema donde se mencionen habilidades–si estás en un curso, listamos todas las habilidades que el curso enseña; si creas un objetivo de aprendizaje compuesto por varias habilidades, también las listamos–si alguna vez necesitas ayuda con habilidades, solo puedes seleccionar las habilidades con las que necesitas ayuda, hacer clic en "Aprender usando IA" y CYPHER Agent utilizará su herramienta de aprendizaje para ofrecerte un análisis profundo de las áreas en las que realmente necesitas ayuda. Ya proporcionamos un increíble sistema de IA generativa para el desarrollo de habilidades de los empleados. Y más adelante este año, vamos mucho más allá de lo que acabo de mencionar, así que mantente atento. **NUEVO Como empresa, ¿cómo puedes garantizar una adopción exitosa de agentes de IA en el ámbito del aprendizaje?** Ahora, tu trabajo es en realidad más fácil de lo que parece. ¿Cuántas personas usan ChatGPT todos los días? Cientos de millones de personas. Les encanta. Es divertido. Les ayuda en su trabajo, les ayuda en su vida diaria. La pregunta no es realmente cómo lograr que la gente ame la IA generativa: ya lo hacen. La verdadera pregunta es cómo puedes lograr que esas personas inicien sesión en tu plataforma de aprendizaje y la disfruten tanto como ya lo hacen con ChatGPT. Soy un usuario ávido de ChatGPT. También soy un especialista en aprendizaje. Lo que queríamos hacer como empresa es ofrecer una experiencia de aprendizaje que fuera mucho mejor que ChatGPT. Y nuestra sensación es que a las personas les gustan diferentes modos de aprendizaje. Está el aprendizaje en el momento, que es "Solo quiero obtener una respuesta a mi pregunta de inmediato. Quiero aprender una habilidad de inmediato." Y para eso, las personas tradicionalmente (y cuando digo tradicionalmente, en los últimos dos años) han recurrido a una herramienta como ChatGPT. Pero cuando tienen que tomar su curso aburrido de cumplimiento, es cuando inician sesión en su plataforma de aprendizaje, lo toman y se salen lo más rápido que pueden porque no es una experiencia muy agradable. Nosotros queremos proporcionar una plataforma impulsada por IA generativa que ofrezca aprendizaje en el momento, mejor, mucho mejor que ChatGPT, y te proporcione el aprendizaje tradicional a través de cursos, mucho mejor de lo que jamás hayas experimentado en cualquier otra plataforma de aprendizaje típica. Así que, a través de CYPHER Agent, proporcionamos ambos. Puedes crear un curso manualmente si lo deseas. Y esos cursos manuales son geniales. Están gamificados, tienen automatización, son visualmente hermosos, por lo que las personas tienen una experiencia visceral muy buena al tomar un curso. CYPHER Agent te permite crear esos tipos de cursos de manera superhumana y rápida. En 10 minutos puedes crear un curso sobre cualquier cosa, que luego podrás personalizar hasta que estés satisfecho con él. Y te ofrecemos la nueva herramienta de aprendizaje de CYPHER Agent que va mucho más allá de ChatGPT y te proporciona una visión general gráfica de lo que quieres aprender. Te proporciona un mapa conceptual interactivo y una tabla de contenido. Puedes hablar con el agente sobre cualquier cosa en la que te quedes atascado. Te muestra cursos relacionados. Y está validado por otra IA premium, lo cual ChatGPT no hace, créeme. Todo se trata de un movimiento de jujitsu: toma lo que la gente ya ama, pero luego muéstrales, en la plataforma de CYPHER Learning, que puedes obtener algo aún mejor y está bellamente integrado con cursos existentes que se pueden hacer para fines de cumplimiento, o se pueden hacer por departamento. Estamos tratando de hacer que sea lo más fácil posible hacer que las personas amen la plataforma CYPHER y amen iniciar sesión en su plataforma de aprendizaje. Tendencias futuras e impactos de la IA **¿Qué pienso de la propuesta de Declaración de Derechos de los Estados Unidos sobre la IA?** En general creo que tiene **mucho sentido**. No creo que haya nada raro ahí. Para darle una idea del tipo de cosas en las que están pensando, una de ellas es la **privacidad**. Entonces, si va a utilizar una IA, debe estar seguro de que no tomará todos sus datos y los compartirá con otras personas. Entonces eso tiene sentido. Otra cosa está relacionada con la **seguridad nacional**. El gobierno va a trabajar con proveedores clave como OpenAI y Microsoft para tratar de hacer que sea lo más difícil posible el uso de una IA avanzada para propósitos nefastos, como construir un agente biológico o hacer estallar un reactor nuclear. Otra cosa que es muy importante es que no hay duda de que las IA se utilizarán cada vez más para calcular algorítmicamente diversos resultados que pueden afectar su sustento. Entonces, por ejemplo, usted podría estar solicitando crédito, **podría estar solicitando vivienda y queremos asegurarnos de que las IA no discriminen** directa o indirectamente a ningún público en particular, colocándolos así en desventaja. Y el último está relacionado con el empleo. Es bastante obvio que la **IA desplazará una gran cantidad de empleos en las próximas décadas**, pero lo ideal es que las personas en esos empleos en particular puedan realizar la transición a través de un proceso de mejora de habilidades a otros empleos. Y una de las cosas que el **gobierno de Estados Unidos quiere hacer es tratar de asegurarse de que eso no suceda demasiado abruptamente**, para darle a las personas en esos empleos suficiente tiempo para hacer la transición a otros empleos. Entonces, en general, considero que la Declaración de Derechos de la IA de EE. UU. es muy sensata y no veo ningún problema particular en ella. **¿Tiene la inteligencia artificial la capacidad de evaluar el desempeño humano con el tiempo?** Diría que la respuesta es **sí, pero con reservas**. Supongamos que la IA tiene acceso a tus resultados: si eres ingeniero, qué tipo de código escribes; si eres escritor creativo, el texto que escribes. Ciertamente, se puede evaluar eso, no creo que haya magia involucrada en eso. Pero hay una gran cantidad de cosas que haces durante el día que realmente ayudan a tu organización, **ya sea que seas agradable de estar cerca, tengas una gran actitud, tengas un buen espíritu de equipo, te enfrentes al desafío cuando llegan los momentos difíciles**. Todas esas son cosas a las que la IA probablemente no tendrá acceso directo. Tal vez alguien podría escribirlo, pero a menos que estemos rodeados de cámaras de seguridad, no te verán a las 10 p.m. arreglando ese error realmente difícil para un cliente importante. Así que creo que sí, podrán evaluar los resultados con el tiempo, **pero creo que hay mucho más en la evaluación que simplemente evaluar tus resultados**. **¿Qué es lo que aún no somos conscientes y que impactará en el futuro del aprendizaje?** Voy a utilizar algunos ejemplos, uno de las escuelas y universidades, pero también se aplica igualmente bien a las empresas. Lo que la mayoría de la gente no habla tanto en este momento son los **agentes personales**. Lo que quiero decir con un agente personal es algo que sabe mucho sobre ti, que te está ayudando, que está disponible las 24 horas del día, y que se ajusta continuamente a tus metas y tus interacciones con el agente. Digamos que estás interesado en un tema en particular y hablas con tu agente y le dices: "Oye, ¿puedes decirme un poco más sobre X?" Entonces el agente sabe ahora que estás interesado en X. Tiene acceso a todo internet, sabe que puede empezar a encontrar muchos temas interesantes relacionados una vez que haya interactuado contigo. Si tiene la sensación de que no entendiste del todo, podría decir: "Oye, déjame explicarlo de otra manera". Y una semana después, podría decir: "Solo quiero hacer una pequeña prueba rápida para ver si recuerdas". Lo cual, por cierto, hago todas estas cosas para mis hijos, así que soy como su agente personal, por así decirlo. Puedes comparar eso con lo que ves en un entorno de aprendizaje tradicional donde pasas de un maestro en un año a otro maestro, luego cambias de escuela o en el mundo del desarrollo y aprendizaje, aprendes en esta organización, luego te mudas a una organización diferente en el mismo negocio, luego te unes a un negocio diferente. **Está cambiando constantemente**. Pero con el agente personal, no importará porque es tuyo. No informa a la empresa en sí. La otra cosa es que **tendrá acceso a tanta información** por ahí en internet en tiempo real. Así que si hay un tema nuevo o material relacionado nuevo, puede informarte en 10 minutos. Intenta hacer eso en la escuela. Creo que la **nueva generación de IA**, mis hijos por ejemplo, ya están empezando a interactuar con la IA y lo están disfrutando. **Creo que van a esperar esta forma de personalización e interacción detallada**. Siempre está el peligro de que si van a su escuela, universidad o negocio y no está algo al día, van a sentir que están en la edad media en este lugar y simplemente voy a volver a mi confiable agente personal. Eso es lo que creo que **va a ser bastante importante en el mundo de la educación**. **¿ChatGPT reduce el rendimiento del estudiante en el aula?** Realmente **depende de cómo lo estén utilizando**. Si enseñas la clase de la misma manera que siempre lo hiciste, haces las mismas preguntas, y los estudiantes pueden simplemente recurrir a ChatGPT para encontrar rápidamente una respuesta, entonces sí, probablemente hará que los estudiantes perezosos sean aún más perezosos, por así decirlo. **Eso puede traer problemas si estás enseñando de la misma manera mientras las personas están usando IA**, estarás haciéndoles un mal servicio. Lo que necesitas hacer es **crear un conjunto mucho más complejo de tareas para que hagan que los haga pensar profundamente en cómo usar una IA**. ¿Cómo me junto con ella para lograr un nivel de rendimiento mucho más alto? En esas situaciones, los estudiantes realmente tienen que **pensar creativamente** en cómo interactuar con la IA, **ya sea cómo la promp**, cómo la **depuro** para asegurarme de que sea cierto porque si solo copio y pego algo y está obviamente mal, hará que el estudiante se vea mal. Hay muchas cosas que tienen que hacer, pero como dije, creo que la responsabilidad principal recaerá en el **profesor o instructor para elevar el nivel de lo que se espera** para que no permita que las personas se vuelvan mentalmente perezosas. **¿Cuál es la relación entre la inteligencia artificial y las habilidades blandas?** Una de las cosas que muchas veces no se menciona es el hecho de que durante el día **interactúas con muchas personas diferentes**, ya sea hablando con un escritor creativo que está tratando de sacar provecho de tu experiencia sobre cómo abordar un tema en particular, si por casualidad trabajas en servicios médicos podría ser personas que trabajan en la sala de emergencias, por ejemplo, o un neurocirujano. Puedo pensar en montones de personas con las **que interactúas donde la forma en que interactúan contigo es crucial para ambos resultados**. Si voy a una sala de emergencias y hay un médico que no es empático, es grosero y no se da cuenta de que estoy en un gran dolor y necesito prioridad, obviamente estaré muy insatisfecho. Mientras que he tenido algunas interacciones muy positivas con el personal médico donde te hacen sentir muy cómodo, entienden de dónde vienes, te dan prioridad cuando es necesario y es una parte enorme de ser un profesional exitoso y creo que las habilidades blandas siempre han sido bastante importantes. Creo que ahora la gente está empezando a decir: "Oye, ¿cuál es la diferencia entre yo y alguna IA?" Una de las primeras cosas que mencionarán es el aspecto de las **habilidades blandas**. Creo que va a haber muchas personas en todo el mundo que estarán bastante motivadas para mejorar sus habilidades blandas. Curiosamente, el **software impulsado por IA podría ser una de las formas en que puedes acelerar tu capacidad de tener habilidades blandas muy buenas**. Sé que en CYPHER estamos haciendo mucho trabajo con organizaciones y escuelas para utilizar el **aprendizaje basado en competencias para medir las habilidades blandas y dirigir áreas específicas de fortalezas y debilidades**. Creo que sí, definitivamente están relacionados y creo que habrá **mucho más énfasis en las habilidades blandas como resultado del resurgimiento de la IA**. **¿CYPHER Copilot ayudará a los estudiantes?** Entonces, la pregunta de hoy es: "Sé que CYPHER Copilot hace un trabajo increíble al permitirme **construir clases atractivas y modernas en minutos**. Sin embargo, ¿ves un momento en el que Copilot también ayudará a un estudiante a reconocer su talento, a aprender cosas mucho más rápido de lo que están confundidos y, de lo contrario, ayudarlos en su viaje educativo?" ¡La respuesta es absolutamente sí! A lo que te refieres se **conoce en cierta medida como un agente**. CYPHER Learning está dedicado a desarrollar nuestra funcionalidad de Copilot para incluir exactamente este tipo de cosas. **¿Qué es un agente personal y qué hará por ti?** Hablando en términos generales, **un agente es algo que operará de manera autónoma en tu nombre**. Entonces, no es algo que tengas que preguntar y luego responda. Básicamente, puedes decir: "Oye, quiero aprender sobre todo tipo de temas" y luego funcionará como una pequeña ardilla las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, buscando pepitas de información, sirviéndolas, haciendo sugerencias. Realmente creemos que los agentes son el futuro de la IA, y muchas otras personas también lo creen, esto no es solo mi opinión personal. Estamos en la industria de la educación, **así que estamos trabajando muy duro para llevar el poder de los agentes personales a los educadores**. Y eso se aplicaría tanto a los estudiantes, ¿cómo ayudas a un estudiante en su viaje educativo? Pero también a los educadores, que quieren crear materiales atractivos y un agente también puede trabajar en tu nombre. **¿Cuáles son las implicaciones para el futuro de la tecnología y el empleo?** Recientemente, Turnitin anunció que podrían reducir significativamente su equipo de ingeniería y reemplazar a varios ingenieros con IA. Tengo algunas reflexiones al respecto. En primer lugar, dejemos completamente fuera de consideración la IA. **La mejor manera de construir software de manera eficiente es tener equipos pequeños de personas realmente experimentadas** que creen marcos reutilizables y **utilicen las herramientas más avanzadas**, para que un pequeño número de personas pueda hacer mucho. Estos son equipos de ingeniería de alto rendimiento, y ese es el tipo de equipo que tenemos aquí en CYPHER Learning. Ciertamente, hay equipos de ingeniería que no han adoptado las mejores prácticas de software más recientes, donde tienen ingenieros menos talentosos que construyen muchas cosas mediocres que podrían hacerse de manera mucho más eficiente. Y creo que si tienes una organización de ingeniería así, entonces es ciertamente posible que puedas reducir algo el tamaño aprovechando la IA. Pero realmente pienso que en este caso la IA es como una distracción. Creo que normalmente reducirías un equipo de ingeniería de todos modos, si tu equipo es tan fácilmente reemplazable por la IA. En CYPHER Learning no hay forma alguna de que pueda reemplazar a alguien en nuestro equipo de ingeniería con IA porque son simplemente demasiado buenos, pero **utilizan la IA a diario para hacer su propia productividad más eficiente**. **¿Cómo impactará la IA en los estudiantes que se gradúan e ingresan al mercado laboral?** Creo que **casi cualquier trabajo en el mercado laboral puede beneficiarse de la IA** a menos que sea hacer hamburguesas en tu In-N-Out local. Pero creo que es muy importante que las personas que ingresan al mercado laboral estén bien versadas en cómo usar la IA desde el principio. Como sé **en CYPHER Learning, prácticamente esperamos que la mayoría de las personas en este punto estén usando IA para ser más productivas**. Y me preocuparía bastante si hubiera un empleado en casi cualquier posición que no estuviera usando IA. Así que no quieres ser ese estudiante graduado desconcertado que consigue un nuevo trabajo y todos los demás están usando IA a tu alrededor y no estás realmente seguro de qué se trata. Diría que definitivamente te hará más productivo, pero no quieres ser esa persona que no sabe cómo usar una IA. **¿Cómo puedes usar la IA para asegurarte de que los nuevos empleados estén recibiendo la capacitación que necesitan?** Hay un par de cosas. En primer lugar, veamos la palabra "asegurar". Hay muchos productos, cursos por ahí que te enseñarán cosas genéricas como marketing o ventas. Pero la mayoría de las empresas que quieren asegurarse de que alguien tenga esa capacitación, quieren algún grado de trazabilidad hasta habilidades individuales. Así que dentro del marketing, por ejemplo, podría haber 30 o 40 habilidades diferentes que quieres asegurarte de que alguien realmente comprenda y haya dominado, no simplemente tomar un curso y tal vez no entender nada. Diría que **adoptar una metodología de capacitación basada en habilidades donde todo el contenido, educación, material, pruebas y evaluaciones estén vinculados a habilidades es una forma realmente importante** de asegurarse de que lo tengan. Ahora, en términos de hacer esto rápidamente, en CYPHER Learning tenemos una tecnología de copiloto: **CYPHER Copilot**, que **permite al personal de L&D crear estos cursos en unos 10 minutos que están completamente vinculados a habilidades**. De lo contrario, es un trabajo algo laborioso. Pero quiero hacerles saber a todos que hay herramientas impulsadas por IA en este momento que pueden crear estos cursos realmente atractivos que están vinculados a habilidades. También diré que próximamente, creo que comenzarás a ver directamente al alumno en el mercado, donde alguien que no tiene acceso a un curso o no está inclinado a hacerlo puede interactuar con una IA, aprender esas nuevas habilidades, pero tenerlas una vez más vinculadas a habilidades de manera que su aprendizaje y comprensión estén realmente asegurados. Así que estén atentos, próximamente de CYPHER Learning. **¿Cuál es el estado actual de la IA?** Mi punto de vista es que en este momento, hay un conjunto completo de IA con capacidades algo similares. Ya sea ChatGPT 4.0 o Anthropic Claude, hay Gemini de Google. Pero todos están en la misma categoría, no hay nada que sea un avance masivo o un gran paso adelante. **Creo que todos en la industria de la IA esperan un avance bastante pronto**. Ha habido varias filtraciones sobre un ChatGPT 5.0, una nueva versión de Google Gemini, etc. Creo que pronto los verás volverse más precisos, con menos alucinaciones y un razonamiento mucho mejor y más poderoso. Leí en algún lugar que hay un tipo que es experto en electrónica y una de las cosas que hace para saber qué tan buena es una IA, es diseñar un dispositivo electrónico complicado con todas las resistencias, capacitores y todo. Aparentemente, este tipo tropezó con una versión temprana de la próxima versión de ChatGPT y dijo que hicieron un trabajo increíble y que ninguna otra IA había hecho eso antes. Así que creo que pronto verás un cambio bastante grande, verás que los precios siguen bajando en lo básico. Verás una síntesis de video mucho más poderosa, una síntesis de imagen mucho más poderosa. **Creo que todas estas cosas van a suceder en los próximos 6 a 9 meses. Pero luego creo que la ola más grande será hacia los agentes de IA**, que fue el tema de una publicación anterior en LinkedIn de un servidor. **¿Existen diferentes tipos de agentes que puedes usar?** Sí. Normalmente, puedes pensar en un espectro. Por un lado, tienes un agente en una caja donde el agente puede hacer cosas por ti, pero no necesariamente puede gastar tu dinero o reservar un vuelo, frente a agentes muy autónomos donde les das la libertad de abrir tu billetera y comprar cosas. Ahora, creemos que el agente en la caja, al menos por el momento, será mucho más popular y común. Ese es el tipo de agente en el que estamos trabajando actualmente. **NUEVO ¿En qué se diferencian los agentes de IA de la IA generativa?** Es una diferencia un poco técnica. La IA generativa es un tipo de IA, pero ha habido muchos otros tipos de IA a lo largo de los años: IA basada en reglas, IA codificada manualmente, entre otras. Pero la IA generativa es la que está en auge actualmente, y es fantástica. Los agentes de IA también son un concepto en sí. Un agente es algo que normalmente hace cosas por ti; tiene cierto grado de autonomía, así que no es como un copiloto. No es que estés trabajando codo a codo con él en una tarea. Es más bien algo que hace todo por su cuenta, aunque generalmente te mantiene informado mientras toma decisiones y actúa por iniciativa propia. Puedes construir un agente sin usar IA generativa, y puedes tener una IA que no sea generativa. Pero si vemos cuál es el punto ideal hoy en día, si vas a elegir un tipo de IA, es la generativa, que mejora constantemente—literalmente casi cada semana. Los agentes de IA más modernos están construidos con IA generativa. Por ejemplo, el agente de CYPHER—que ya puede hacer muchas cosas por ti y que a lo largo del año podrá hacer aún más, como una herramienta de aprendizaje—podrá enseñarte cualquier cosa que desees, incluso si no existe un curso disponible sobre ese tema. El agente de CYPHER está completamente construido con IA generativa y normalmente usamos una combinación de IAs premium de empresas como OpenAI y Anthropic para hacer el trabajo. Pueden existir por separado, pero si observas hacia dónde se dirige todo, es hacia agentes de IA construidos sobre IA generativa. **¿Cuál es la diferencia entre copilot y agente?** Un copiloto es algo con lo que típicamente colaboras en una tarea. Es literalmente como si tú estuvieras volando el avión y tu copiloto estuviera a tu lado. Por ejemplo, si estás utilizando la plataforma CYPHER para construir un curso, lo llamamos copiloto porque estás construyendo el curso con la ayuda de una IA. Los agentes, por otro lado, son típicamente un poco más autónomos. Puedes darles una tarea y puede que tarden una hora, un día, una semana en completar esa tarea. Y aunque probablemente se pondrán en o contigo para informarte sobre lo que está sucediendo, son mucho más autónomos que un copiloto. En CYPHER, en realidad estamos trabajando en la tecnología de agentes mientras hablamos. Así que mantenganse atentos para más información. **¿Por qué son importantes las IA con estado?** Una IA con estado es particularmente importante cuando se habla de agentes, porque en el caso de un agente, se te da una misión. Puede ser reservar unas maravillosas vacaciones en Barbados o algo así y va a conocer todos los pasos necesarios. Pasará del paso uno al paso dos al paso tres. Siempre sabe dónde está respecto a su objetivo. Tú estarás al tanto. Así que eres parte del objetivo del agente con estado. En cambio, para un copiloto, típicamente no hay mucho estado. Es un trabajo corto y cuando terminas, terminas. Por eso el estado es muy importante, especialmente con respecto a los agentes de IA. **¿Cómo se mantiene CYPHER Learning a la vanguardia en la industria de EdTech que evoluciona rápidamente?** Tengo que decir que no creo que la industria tecnológica esté evolucionando rápidamente. Quiero decir, sabemos quiénes son nuestros competidores y parecen moverse bastante lentamente, para ser honesto contigo. La forma en que innovamos no se basa en cuán rápido innovan los demás. Estamos muy apasionados por hacia dónde creemos que va el futuro y lo estamos construyendo tan rápido como podemos, independientemente de cómo lo hagan los demás. Pero tenemos que decir que, al mirar a nuestro alrededor, parece que muchas empresas se están moviendo realmente lentamente en este momento. **¿Cómo afectarán los recientes avances en IA generativa a EdTech?** La IA está avanzando tan rápido que "reciente" podría ser ayer para lo que sé, pero diré que ha habido muchos avances en la generación de videos. Así que pronto verás videos en tiempo real enseñándote casi cualquier cosa, sin que tengas que ir a YouTube, por ejemplo. Podrían ser personalizados, podrían incluso hacerse con tu voz o tu rostro, será bastante sorprendente.  El aspecto de razonamiento está mejorando cada vez más. Probablemente hayas oído hablar del Proyecto Strawberry. Y esperamos ver más avances allí. Un razonamiento avanzado significa que los agentes de IA pueden volverse más inteligentes. Por lo tanto, podrán asistirte de manera más profunda, para ayudarte a aprender lo que quieras aprender.  También creo que el rendimiento en relación con el precio es increíble. Sabes, la semana pasada bajamos los precios de Copilot alrededor del 30% y está aumentando la velocidad. Su soporte multilingüe está aumentando. Así que los precios seguirán bajando, lo que hace que esto sea más accesible para todos nuestros clientes. **¿Cómo veo el uso de la IA en otras industrias fuera de la industria del aprendizaje?** Ahora, básicamente, está siendo muy, muy útil en casi todas las industrias, según lo que puedo ver. Pero una área en particular sería el descubrimiento de medicamentos. Sabes, el descubrimiento de medicamentos ha sido tradicionalmente un problema de prueba y error. Y gracias a innovaciones como AlphaFold en los laboratorios de investigación de Google y otras cosas que OpenAI está haciendo, están usando la IA para acelerar cada vez más el descubrimiento de medicamentos y hacerlo un enfoque mucho más dirigido en lugar de un enfoque de prueba y error. Así que aquí hay un ejemplo donde creo que la IA puede hacer un trabajo increíble y sería realmente, realmente difícil para los seres humanos ser tan sofisticados en términos de descubrimiento de medicamentos sin usar IA. **¿Cuál creo que es el mayor malentendido sobre la IA?** Diría que el mayor malentendido es que la gente supone que siempre tendrá alucinaciones y cometerá errores. Ahora, siempre es posible cometer un error. Pero estas IA están mejorando cada vez más, son más reflexivas y limpian sus respuestas. Y si has estado siguiendo OpenAI, ayer lanzaron el modelo o1, que en la versión profesional de este modelo puede pensar hasta un minuto antes de darte la respuesta. Así que creo que no pasará mucho tiempo hasta que las IA cometan muchos menos errores que antes. Nunca llegará a cero, pero será mucho, mucho más precisa que incluso un experto humano. **¿Cuál es mi mayor predicción para la IA en 2025?** ¿Cuál es mi mayor predicción para la IA en 2025? Y son tres palabras: agentes, agentes, agentes. Y lo que quiero decir con eso, te daré un ejemplo de la industria del aprendizaje, que es donde está CYPHER. En el pasado, las personas no eran necesariamente tan buenas en el aprendizaje autodirigido. No sabían qué necesitaban realmente, no sabían cómo estudiar adecuadamente. Los gerentes podrían tener dificultades para hacer un seguimiento de lo que están haciendo sus aprendices y hacer recomendaciones. Pero la IA es bastante buena en esto. Si sabe lo que quieres de tu carrera, si sabe en qué eres bueno, en qué necesitas ayuda, entonces puede crear un camino de aprendizaje personalizado para ti, puede generar contenido personalizado solo para ti. Si eres un gerente, puede realizar un seguimiento automáticamente de lo que está sucediendo con todos tus trabajadores, cómo están haciendo las cosas y dónde necesitan ayuda. Y todo esto puede hacerlo proactivamente un agente de IA. Estamos trabajando arduamente en la tecnología de agentes. Tenemos el primer agente de aprendizaje que saldrá muy pronto, pero gran parte de lo que estamos haciendo en 2025 es aplicar la IA proactiva en forma de agentes a todos los grupos interesados que utilizan la plataforma CYPHER. ¿Estás listo para ver en acción a CYPHER Learning? ### --- ## Meet the 2024 CYPHER Customer of the Year Winners **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/2024-customer-of-the-year-winners **Last Modified:** 2025-06-24 CYPHER CoTY WINNERS # 2024 Customer of the Year Meet the winners!

Whether we are in virtual, hybrid, or in-person learning, it is important to have a variety of tools that help us transition between these spaces and expand the when and where learning happens. Although many of us are entering the last quarter of our school year, it's still a good opportunity to keep on learning and also to be prepared to transition as we move forward through the remainder of this year and into the next. How do we prepare? We start by having a few options that we know will be beneficial regardless of learning space, and that will enable us to stay connected and learn together during what may become a challenging year. ## 4 Ways to promote collaboration in digital spaces Some of the questions I continue to ask myself throughout the school year as I seek new ideas and tools are: - What will benefit students regardless of where learning takes place? - In what ways can I use digital tools to design more active learning experiences for my students? - What are some tools/strategies that will promote more communication and collaboration? - What are some big ideas that I can bring into my classroom and then find the right tools to promote more choices in learning? Here are four ideas to promote collaboration: 1. ### Blogging There are a lot of different tools out there for students to engage in blogging. It can be done through [Microsoft Teams](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software) or using some of the other [digital options](/tour/human-connection) available. I love blogging because it creates a space for students to build writing skills and then share ideas with their teachers and peers and connect globally with classrooms from around the world. Blogging is useful for more than simply developing writing skills; students build digital citizenship skills as they learn to collaborate in the online space. Blogging also fosters more communication between students and teachers as students can use it as a digital portfolio to track learning over time. We have used [Fanschool](https://go.fan.school/) as well as [Edublogs](https://edublogs.org/) in our classroom. Blogging helps students to also build relationships in the classroom as well as promote peer networking. 2. ### Breakout rooms If you are using Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom, allow students to collaborate in [breakout rooms](https://www.edutopia.org/article/7-tips-breakout-room-success). We can use game-based learning and have students play on teams or create games for students to participate in these breakout room spaces. One of my favorites is to have students work on a project and use breakout rooms to interact and ask questions, share their screens, and feel more closely connected to their classmates. It also gives me the chance to move into each of the breakout rooms and have those conversations with each group and with each student, similar to what I would do if we were all together in the physical classroom. 3. ### Collaborative storytelling Especially in this school year, with working mostly in the virtual learning environment, it has been essential to find opportunities for students to work together. In my Spanish classes, students often write stories, and I encourage them to work with classmates. I have used several tools that promote collaboration. For anyone looking for an innovative idea, perhaps explore Augmented and Virtual Reality through [CoSpacesEDU](https://cospaces.io/edu/), a great option that can be used for any grade level or content area. Students can read a book, create a book summary, use it for STEM projects, create an interactive story, and more. Students can be placed together in a group to work in the same collaborative space, similar to what you can do with Google Slides. And if you are using Microsoft Teams or Zoom, place students in breakout rooms so they brainstorm ideas while they're creating at the same time. Read more: [7 Ways to explore and create with Augmented and Virtual Reality](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/7-ways-to-explore-and-create-with-augmented-and-virtual-reality/) Another collaborative storytelling option is [Book Creator](https://bookcreator.com/), which can be used to create digital books. Students can work together and create their own book to share what they are learning. Books include text, images, audio, and video, and students have fun adding their own stories to the class book. Some ideas include creating a class Me yearbook, retelling a story, making a travel journal, or any idea that involves multimedia creation. 4. ### Collaborative boards There are several collaborative whiteboard-type tools available to choose from, within Teams or Zoom, for example. However, there are more options available to educators that provide even more possibilities for greater collaboration. One tool that is like a sticky note service is [Lino](https://en.linoit.com/). It is similar to using [Padlet](https://padlet.com/) or a [Trello](https://trello.com/en-US) board in that it offers a collaborative space to brainstorm ideas, curate class resources, and promote better workflow and organization. Using Padlet, students can post questions, comments, videos, images, and more. A favorite was creating a scavenger hunt by posting the list on a Padlet and using breakout rooms for the groups to plan their tasks to gather the items and then post to the Padlet. Regardless of where we are, these options enable us to feel more connected to our classrooms and learning. ## All in all An essential skill for now and the future is collaboration. When we create opportunities for students to collaborate with classmates, whether in person or connect asynchronously, we help them to build skills that will benefit them in the future, regardless of the work that they’ll do. These are just a few quick ideas to explore if you are looking for more ways to promote cooperation in and out of your classroom. I suggest exploring one of the ideas as a start to find the right one that works with your grade level or perhaps that has access to your school network. Think what your classroom experience might be missing if you are not all together in person. Is it the ability to have conversations more often? Then start with the breakout room or a collaborative board. Do you want students to work together on a project? Then explore the blogging or digital storytelling in Virtual Reality perhaps, and leverage some of these other tools for students to work together.

September 2023 **KI wird die lästige Arbeit der Erstellung von Bildungsinhalten abnehmen** 27. September 2023 ## KI & Fragen und Antworten Datenschutz und Datensicherheit **Wie schütze ich meine Daten, wenn ich sie mit einer KI teile?** Die Antwort hängt wirklich davon ab, wie Sie die Daten weitergeben. OpenAI sagt zum Beispiel ganz offen, dass, wenn Sie die kostenlose Version von ChatGPT verwenden und Ihre Daten sozusagen in den Puffer kopieren und einfügen, OpenAI mit diesen Daten trainiert wird. Sie **wollen also keine wichtigen geschützten Daten mit einer kostenlosen Version von ChatGPT teilen**. Wenn Sie die **Unternehmensversion von ChatGPT** verwenden oder **Daten über die APIs weitergeben, werden diese nicht für das Training verwendet, nirgendwo gespeichert**, sind nur vorübergehend und werden vernichtet. Bei CYPHER Learning arbeiten wir über diese APIs mit KI-Systemen zusammen, und wir tun dies nur, wenn der Anbieter und der Eigentümer der API sagen, dass diese Daten absolut privat sind. Wenn Sie also ein **System wie die CYPHER-Plattform nutzen**, die die APIs verwendet, **müssen Sie sich keine Sorgen machen, dass Ihre privaten Daten mit jemandem geteilt werden**. **Wie kann ich überprüfen, ob die Informationen, die mir eine KI liefert, korrekt sind?** Erstens nimmt die **Genauigkeit der KI immer mehr zu**. Wir haben alle schon von diesem sogenannten Halluzinationseffekt gehört, bei dem die KI manchmal eine falsche Antwort gibt oder sich eine Antwort ausdenkt, die sehr überzeugend klingt, aber in Wirklichkeit falsch ist. Das tun übrigens auch die Menschen. Wir sollten also anerkennen, dass dies nicht nur bei KI der Fall ist, sondern dass es sich um ein allgemeines Konzept für jede Informationsquelle handelt. Das heißt, GPT 3.5, als Beispiel, tut dies häufiger als GPT 4, und OpenAI hat öffentlich erklärt, dass sie glauben, dass die zukünftigen Iterationen immer genauer werden. Ich glaube also erstens, dass die Fehlerquote von KI in den nächsten Jahren drastisch sinken wird. Der zweite Punkt ist, dass wir nicht dumm sein wollen. Nur weil eine KI sie Ihnen gibt, heißt das nicht, dass sie perfekt ist. Generell gilt also, **dass Sie die Informationen, die Sie von einer KI erhalten, genauso kritisch prüfen und abgleichen müssen**, wie Sie es auch tun würden, wenn sie aus dem Internet oder von einem anderen Menschen kämen. Setzen Sie also grundsätzlich Ihren Hut des kritischen Denkens auf. Auf der CYPHER-Lernplattform sind wir bei der Erstellung von Lerninhalten unter Verwendung von AI 360 mit Copilot sehr ehrlich und offen und sagen, **dass KIs manchmal Fehler machen und man die Informationen überprüfen muss**. Wir versuchen also nicht, jemandem zu verkaufen, dass alles, was man mit einer KI macht, perfekt ist. Wir tun jedoch einiges, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Halluzination zu verringern und es den menschlichen Prüfern zu erleichtern, mögliche Fehler zu finden. Die so genannte **KI-Kreuzprüfung**, die bald von CYPHER Learning auf den Markt kommen wird, **verwendet mehr als eine KI und nutzt eine KI, um die Genauigkeit der Informationen, die von der anderen KI stammen, vorab zu überprüfen**. Auch das garantiert nicht, dass die Informationen zu 100 % korrekt sind, aber es minimiert die Fehlerquote. Ich denke also, dass KI im Großen und Ganzen genau wie jede andere Informationsquelle ist. Man muss vorsichtig sein, man muss sie überprüfen, aber sie werden ziemlich schnell immer genauer werden. **Sollte ich mir über Urheberrechtsfragen Gedanken machen, wenn ich eine KI verwende?** In 99 % der Fälle nein, aber in 1 % der Fälle vielleicht. Ein kurzer Einblick in die Funktionsweise von KI. **KIs kopieren nicht alle Inhalte aus dem Internet in ihr digitales Gehirn und spucken sie dann wieder aus**. Sie werten riesige Mengen von Inhalten aus, extrahieren die Essenz dieser Inhalte und kodieren sie dann in Form von Zahlen. Die KI könnte also mit ziemlicher Sicherheit niemals genau das wiedergeben, was sie gelesen hat, weil sie Informationen nicht auf diese Weise speichert. Und ähnlich wie ein Mensch generiert sie aus allem, was sie gesehen hat, neue Informationen. Und jeder, der schon einmal etwas wie ChatGPT benutzt hat, weiß, dass**es jedes Mal, wenn man ihm eine Frage stellt, eine etwas andere Antwort gibt**. Das ist ein Beispiel dafür, dass es sich nicht um ein Kopieren und Einfügen handelt. OpenAI und Microsoft haben u. a. ein so genanntes "** Shield**" vorgestellt, das ihre Zuversicht und ihr Engagement für den Schutz der Ergebnisse von KI vor Urheberrechtsverletzungen unterstreicht. Wenn Sie also eines ihrer Produkte verwenden und jemand kommt zu Ihnen und sagt, dass Sie ein Urheberrecht verletzt haben, dann werden Microsoft oder OpenAI Sie juristisch verteidigen, was ein wirklich großartiger Schritt ist. Im Allgemeinen können Sie also die Ausgabe vertrauensvoll verwenden, da Sie wissen, dass es sich nicht um ein Kopieren und Einfügen aus einer bestimmten Quelle handelt. Und das gilt für 99 % der Fälle. Das **eine Prozent der Fälle**, das es meiner Meinung nach wert ist, anerkannt zu werden, ist die Tatsache, dass **einige Urheber von Inhalten, insbesondere Künstler**, Jahre damit verbracht haben, eine sehr, sehr spezifische, sehr **einzigartige Identität**zu entwickeln. Picasso ist ein offensichtliches Beispiel aus der Vergangenheit, aber es gibt auch Menschen, die dies heute tun. Wenn eine KI, die Bilder generiert, alles über Picasso erfährt und dann 100.000 Picassos mit seiner spezifischen, ausgearbeiteten Identität generiert, dann wäre das mit **ziemlicher Sicherheit ein Fall für eine Urheberrechtsverletzung**. Es gibt also sehr, sehr wenige vertikale Fälle, in denen man vorsichtig sein muss, aber in 99 % der Fälle muss man sich überhaupt keine Sorgen machen. **Gibt es Sicherheitsbedenken, wenn es um Agenten geht?** Manchmal, wenn man dem Agenten ein hohes Maß an Autonomie einräumt. Wenn Sie einen Agenten in der Box haben, ihm nur begrenzten Zugang zu verschiedenen geschützten Daten geben und ihm keinen Zugang zu Ihrer Brieftasche gewähren, wo liegt dann das Risiko? Es gibt wirklich kein großes Risiko. Es ist genau wie bei der normalen KI. Aber wenn man sagt: „Ich gebe dir meine Kreditkartennummer, meinen Sicherheitscode, meine Führerscheinnummer“ und ihr all diese Informationen gibt und sie loslässt, dann gibt es natürlich Sicherheitsbedenken - eine davon ist, dass sie mein Bankkonto leeren könnte. Wir konzentrieren uns also auf die Art von Agenten, denen man nicht viele persönliche Informationen gibt und die keine unumkehrbaren Dinge in Ihrem Namen tun können. **NEU: Wie können Unternehmen eine ethische Nutzung von KI sicherstellen?** Mit „ethisch“ meinen wir wirklich, dass sie nicht für destruktive, ruchlose Zwecke eingesetzt werden darf. Der offensichtlichste Ansatz hierfür ist die Verwendung von Leitplanken, was voraussetzt, dass Sie eine zentrale Stelle haben, an der Sie Leitplanken für die gesamte unternehmensweite Nutzung von KI festlegen können. So kann zum Beispiel ein Administrator in einem zukünftigen Lernagenten eine Leitplanke einrichten, die es nicht zulässt, dass Menschen etwas lernen, das nicht direkt mit ihrer Berufsbezeichnung zu tun hat. Das ist eine einfache Möglichkeit. Oder im Fall von K-20 will man nicht, dass sie etwas über den Bau von Bomben und Waffen und so weiter lernen. Da würde man natürlich eine Leitplanke einbauen. Ich würde also sagen, dass Sie natürlich Standards in Ihrem Unternehmen haben können. Man kann die Personalabteilung darüber schulen, wie man KI ethisch korrekt einsetzt. Aber aus rein technischer Sicht ist ein Produkt, mit dem man Leitplanken einbauen kann, ein Muss. **NEU: Was passiert, wenn Deep Fakes besser werden und in der Lernindustrie eingesetzt werden können?** Ich denke, da gibt es ein paar Dinge zu beachten. Wenn man Kurse entwickelt, möchte man natürlich einen Menschen dabei haben. So kann ein menschlicher Experte sicherstellen, dass diese Dinge nicht offensichtlich gefälscht sind. Die zweite Sache, die wir implementiert haben, ist eine KI-Crosscheck-Technologie. Dabei wird zusätzlich zu einem Menschen eine andere KI eingesetzt, um Ihre Inhalte zu überprüfen. Wenn es sich also um ein Video handelt, hört sie sich das Video an und stellt sicher, dass das Video keine offensichtlichen Fehler enthält. Das sind also zwei Dinge, die man tun kann, aber es ist sicherlich ein Problem, vor allem außerhalb des Bereichs des Lernens, denn Menschen müssen sich auf die Wahrheit verlassen können, um gute Entscheidungen zu treffen. KI-Implementierung **Sollte ich beim Einsatz von KI in meinem Unternehmen zögern?** Ich denke, es gibt **einige Bereiche** Ihres Unternehmens, die sofort von der KI profitieren können, **ohne dass dies ein existenzielles Risiko** für Ihr Unternehmen darstellt. Und es gibt **andere Bereiche**, insbesondere solche, die einem hohen Maß an staatlicher Regulierung unterliegen, in **denen Sie vielleicht vorsichtig sein müssen**. Außerdem dürfen Sie nicht vergessen, dass Ihre Konkurrenten in bestimmten Schlüsselbereichen nicht zögern, und je länger es dauert, bis Sie KI einsetzen, desto mehr werden Sie im Nachteil sein. Wenn Sie beispielsweise **beim E-Learning Kurse 100 Mal schneller und zu einem Zehntel der Kosten Ihrer Konkurrenten erstellen, wird Ihnen das einen strategischen Vorteil verschaffen?** Wenn Sie ein Schulungsunternehmen oder ein IT-Unternehmen sind, lautet die Antwort mit ziemlicher Sicherheit: Ja, Sie wären im Nachteil. **Wie ist ChatGPT im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Angeboten?** Ich muss zugeben, dass ich etwas beeinflusst bin, weil ich ChatGPT Enterprise mindestens eine Stunde pro Tag benutze, was ziemlich viel ist. Eines der Dinge, die ich in ChatGPT wirklich mag, **ist eine brandneue Funktion, die über Sie lernt und ihre Erinnerung an Sie aktualisiert und dann sicherstellt, dass diese aktualisierte Erinnerung bei jeder Interaktion berücksichtigt wird**. Wenn ich zum Beispiel zu ChatGPT sage: "Hey, kannst du dich etwas kürzer fassen?", dann sieht man, wie mein Gedächtnis aktualisiert wird und die Interaktionen jetzt kürzer sind. Ähnlich verhält es sich, wenn ich sage, dass ich Astronomie mag. Vielleicht findet es das relevant und sagt dann der KI jedes Mal, wenn ich mit ihr interagiere: "Übrigens, Graham mag Astronomie". Ich denke, das ist eine ziemlich coole Funktion. Das habe ich bisher bei keiner anderen KI gesehen. Ich habe auch den Eindruck, dass ChatGPT im Moment entweder das beste oder das beste Programm ist, was die Genauigkeit und die Freude an der Interaktion mit ihm angeht. Es macht auf jeden Fall eine Menge richtig, wenn ich mit ihm spreche, und **in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft wird ein neues ChatGPT 5.0 herauskommen**. **Das wird die Messlatte wieder höher legen**. Meiner Meinung nach ist das Programm auch sehr gut mit anderen Tools integriert. Wenn Sie also eine Finanzanalyse durchführen möchten, können Sie automatisch ein Arbeitsblatt hochladen, und es wird automatisch ein neues Arbeitsblatt für Sie erstellt. Ich denke, das ist ein weiterer Bereich, in dem es wirklich hervorragend ist. Ich bin ein Fan, aber wissen Sie, die Welt verändert sich schnell, vielleicht habe ich in sechs Monaten einen anderen Favoriten. **Welche Einschränkungen hat ChatGPT?** Ich denke, es gibt einige davon in verschiedenen Bereichen. Als erstes möchte ich sagen, dass es **nicht in Echtzeit** ist, und damit meine ich, dass es keinen Zugang dazu hat, was vor fünf Minuten oder vor einer halben Stunde oder sogar vor einer Woche passiert ist. Und ich bin sicher, das kommt noch. Im Moment funktioniert es also so, dass sie einen großen Trainingsschub machen, bei dem sie riesige Datenmengen zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt untersuchen. Mit diesen Daten beginnt dann die neue Version des Modells. Aber es wird nicht täglich aktualisiert, aber ich garantiere fast, dass es so sein wird. Es wird also ziemlich bald bis zur letzten Woche, dann bis zum letzten Tag und irgendwann bis zur letzten Sekunde reichen. Das ist also eine Einschränkung. **Eine weitere Einschränkung liegt in der Tiefe der Argumentation**. Ich benutze ChatGPT die ganze Zeit und muss sagen, dass ich denke, dass die Denkfähigkeit besser ist als die der meisten Menschen. Ich betrachte den Menschen nicht als die ultimative Denkmaschine. Es ist also sehr, sehr gut, aber es gibt Zeiten, in denen es nicht so gut ist wie ein Mensch, vor allem, wenn man ihm wirklich komplizierte logische Probleme stellt. Aber das wird ziemlich schnell in Angriff genommen. Der Schwerpunkt von ChatGPT 5.0 wird also darauf liegen, die Messlatte für seine logischen Fähigkeiten höher zu legen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass ChatGPT 5.0 dann besser sein wird als 98% der Menschen. Und in ChatGPT 6.0 werden es 99% der Menschen sein. Es wird immer Menschen geben, die besser sind als ChatGPT als etwas für die absehbare Zukunft. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass der Mangel an logischen Fähigkeiten mehr als nur eine kurzfristige Schwäche sein wird. Ein weiterer Schwachpunkt ist die Art und Weise, **wie mit geschützten Daten umgegangen wird**. Im Moment ist ChatGPT auf einen riesigen Korpus öffentlicher Daten trainiert. Aber wenn man einen ganzen Haufen privater Daten hat, gibt es im Moment keine Möglichkeit, kostengünstig zu sagen: "Übrigens, für die Zwecke unserer Interaktion, hier sind fünf Gigabyte zusätzlicher Informationen und ich möchte, dass du diese mit der gleichen Tiefe indiziert wie alles andere". ChatGPT 4.0 ist also in der Lage, Dateien zu speichern, die Sie hochladen können. Es kann sie ähnlich wie eine Vektordatenbank indizieren, aber es nimmt sie nicht in der Tiefe des öffentlichen Wissens auf. Aber ich denke, das wird ein Durchbruch sein, wenn man ihm eine ganze Reihe von Informationen geben kann und sein Gehirn größer und anders wird, wenn es mit einem selbst spricht als mit jemand anderem. Das sind also die drei wichtigsten Einschränkungen, die ich im Moment sehe. **NEU: Kann eine gesteuerte KI bessere Arbeit leisten als der offene ChatGPT?** Die Antwort ist eindeutig ja. Der Grund: Nehmen wir das Beispiel der Erstellung eines anspruchsvollen modernen Kurses. Bei einer gesteuerten KI geben Sie im Grunde nur ein, was Sie in dem Kurs brauchen, einschließlich Hinweise und bestimmter spezieller Dinge, die Sie brauchen. Die KI nutzt dann im Grunde die gleiche Technologie wie das offene ChatGPT, aber sie ist superschnell. Jede einzelne Eingabeaufforderung ist sehr sorgfältig ausgearbeitet, und nicht nur das, es baut den Kurs auf unserer Plattform in wenigen Minuten auf. Wenn Sie dasselbe in ChatGPT machen würden, könnte die gleiche Aufgabe Stunden dauern, weil Sie die Aufforderungen sorgfältig abfragen, alle Antworten sorgfältig prüfen und dann alles manuell in unsere Plattform kopieren und einfügen müssten. Die Antwort ist also eindeutig ja. **Gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen CYPHER Copilot und Microsoft Copilot?** Die Antwort lautet: nicht wirklich, aber irgendwie schon. Was ich damit meine, ist, dass **CYPHER Copilot ein Produkt von CYPHER Learning ist, das sich ganz darauf konzentriert, das Leben von Lehrenden und Lernenden angenehmer und effizienter zu gestalten**. In dieser Hinsicht ist es ein völlig anderes Produkt als Microsoft Copilot. Es gibt viele Copiloten, es gibt Github Copilot, es gibt Fubar Copilot. **Copilot ist also nur ein Begriff, den wir verwenden, um die Tatsache zu betonen, dass der Mensch das Sagen hat**, er ist wie ein Hellseher. Die Ähnlichkeit besteht darin, dass beide die OpenAI-Technologie hinter den Kulissen nutzen. Microsoft hat die Technologie von OpenAI lizenziert. Microsoft Copilot nutzt also hinter den Kulissen die OpenAI API. CYPHER Copilot verwendet eine Vielzahl von KI, also nicht nur eine KI für die Texterstellung, sondern mehrere. Er verwendet Bild-KI, und bald wird er auch Video-KI haben. Es hat Sprach-KI, aber eine der KIs, die wir verwenden, ist das große Sprachmodell von OpenAI. Sie haben also diese winzig kleine Gemeinsamkeit. Aber davon abgesehen sind sie wirklich sehr unterschiedlich. **Welche KI-Dienste nutzt CYPHER Learning?** Wir nutzen derzeit 5 verschiedene KI-Dienste und in den nächsten Monaten werden es **wahrscheinlich 7 oder 8 KI-Dienste sein**. Die allgemeine Idee ist, **dass wir KIs danach auswählen, was sie am besten können, wie schnell sie sind und wie viel sie kosten**. So verwenden wir beispielsweise eine KI für die Bildsynthese, eine andere für die Sprachausgabe, eine weitere für die Videotranskription und eine weitere für die Erstellung von Inhalten. Aber das Schöne an unserem System ist, dass der **Benutzer nichts von dieser Komplexität bemerken wird**. Man klickt einfach auf das Kästchen "Ich möchte Bilder synthetisieren". Dadurch, dass wir dies vor dem Benutzer verbergen, haben wir die Flexibilität, diese KI jederzeit zu ersetzen, wenn etwas Besseres verfügbar wird. Natürlich verpflichten wir uns gegenüber unseren Endkunden, **dass alle ihre privaten Daten absolut vertraulich behandelt werden**. Wir werden sie also mit niemandem teilen. Wir bemühen uns sehr darum, dass unsere Systeme sehr schnell und zuverlässig arbeiten. Aber abgesehen davon muss wirklich niemand wissen, welche KI wir hinter den Kulissen einsetzen. **Was sind KI-Prompts und gibt es einen Mehrwert für ein System, das keine KI-Prompts benötigt?** **Ein KI-Prompt ist im Grunde nur etwas, das man einer KI sagt**, und je nachdem, wie man die Frage stellt, kann man eine andere Art von Antwort erhalten. In unserem Ingenieurteam haben wir inzwischen viel Erfahrung darin, wie man die Frage genau richtig stellt, um die beste Antwort zu erhalten. **Wenn Sie die CYPHER-Plattform nutzen, müssen Sie nichts über KI-Prompts wissen**, denn wir verpacken die KI, wir verbergen alle unangenehmen Details vor Ihnen. Alles, was Sie tun müssen, ist, ein paar Kästchen anzukreuzen, ein paar Menüoptionen auszuwählen und "Go" zu sagen. Eine weitere Frage lautet: **Warum kann ich nicht genau das tun, was Sie mit den KI-Anweisungen tun?** Die Antwort ist, dass Sie das tatsächlich können, solange es Ihnen nichts ausmacht, etwa 100 Mal langsamer zu arbeiten als das, was die CYPHER Learning Plattform für Sie tun kann. Wenn Sie also einen Kurs auf unserer Plattform erstellen, **lösen wir mindestens 200 Prompts aus**, von denen viele parallel mit übermenschlicher Geschwindigkeit arbeiten. Dann nehmen wir die Ergebnisse all dieser Abfragen und **generieren durch eine enge Integration die Module, die Seiten, die Bewertungen, die Quizze und die Glossare in übermenschlicher Geschwindigkeit**. Wenn Sie versuchen würden, dies mit ChatGPT zu tun, bräuchten Sie für das, was wir in 10 Minuten tun, wahrscheinlich 10 bis 20 Stunden, und jedes Mal, wenn Sie es wiederholen wollen, müssten Sie weitere 10 bis 20 Stunden dafür aufwenden. Also, ja, Sie könnten es tun. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass Sie damit Ihre Zeit sinnvoll nutzen. **Wie navigiert CYPHER durch die sich verändernde globale KI-Richtlinie?** Generell versuchen wir, **KI für jeden in der Bildungsbranche extrem zugänglich zu machen**. Sie ist **geschützt**, es gibt **Leitlinien**, und man kann nicht wirklich etwas Verrücktes damit anstellen. Wir haben es also so sicher wie möglich gemacht. Wir können niemanden dazu zwingen, KI gegen seinen Willen einzusetzen. Aber jeder, der KI nutzen möchte, wird feststellen, dass sie sehr, sehr **Globalpolitik-freundlich ist**. **Was macht CYPHER AI 360 einzigartig auf dem Bildungsmarkt?** AI 360 ist also die Bezeichnung, die wir unserer Technologie geben, die allen Beteiligten im Bildungsprozess helfen wird. Unser erstes Angebot im Rahmen von AI 360 war der CYPHER Copilot, der unglaublich gut darin ist, ausgefeilte, moderne Klassen zu erstellen - und zwar in weniger als fünf Minuten, weil er immer schneller wird. Und diese spezielle Funktion verfügt über einen automatischen KI-Crosscheck für Genauigkeit, Sprachsynthese, Bildsynthese, Inhaltsgenerierung - was immer Sie wollen, es ist drin.  Aber wir arbeiten auch an anderen Dingen, die ziemlich erstaunlich sind. Wir haben es noch nicht veröffentlicht, was aber nichts mit der Kursentwicklung zu tun hat. Es ist eigentlich ein weiterer Teil des AI 360 Daches. Und insgesamt würde ich sagen, was uns einzigartig macht, ist die Geschwindigkeit, mit der wir vorankommen, und die Bandbreite der Stakeholder, denen wir mit KI helfen. **Wie wird sich KI auf den Funktionsumfang von Lernplattformen auswirken?** Wenn man sich ansieht, wie Lernplattformen in der Regel genutzt werden, dann meldet man sich an und belegt einen herkömmlichen Kurs, der in der Regel in **Module und Abschnitte** unterteilt ist. Wenn man Glück hat, ist der Kurs spielerisch gestaltet, und wenn man großes Glück hat, werden auch die eigenen **Kompetenzen** erfasst. Und das ist ein offensichtlicher Bereich, in dem KI helfen kann. KI kann es einem Ausbilder, **Professor oder Lehrer ermöglichen, in weniger als 10 Minuten automatisch erstaunlich anspruchsvolle Kurse zu erstellen**. Sie werden zwar nicht 100 % der Arbeit erledigen, aber mindestens 80 % der Arbeit. Aber das ist eine ziemlich einfache Antwort. Ich glaube, es gibt eine viel spannendere Antwort, die über die Art und Weise hinausgeht, wie die Menschen traditionell mit Plattformen gelernt haben. Viele Menschen haben zum Beispiel etwas, das sie sofort lernen wollen, etwas sehr Wichtiges, das entscheidend ist, aber sie haben weder Zeit noch Lust, in der Jukebox der Kurse nach einem Kurs zu suchen und ihn zu besuchen. Eines der coolen Dinge, die KI leisten kann, ist, dass man generative KI einsetzen kann. **Man kann also direkt vor Ort etwas lernen**,und zwar in einem einfach zu nutzenden, **konsumierbaren Format**, ohne einen Kurs belegen zu müssen. Und das ist etwas, das ich als eine Art **sofortiges Lernen** betrachte, oder, wenn Sie so wollen, **als zeitnahes Lernen**. Ich denke, dass diese **Plattformen schon bald über persönliche Agenten verfügen werden, was noch tiefgreifender sein wird**. Ein persönlicher Agent wird eine Sache sein, **die rund um die Uhr im Hintergrund läuft und versucht, Wege zu finden, um Ihnen zu helfen, Ihre Lernziele zu erreichen**. Er könnte Ihnen Inhalte empfehlen, er könnte automatisch auf nützliche Nachrichtenartikel aufmerksam machen und sie für Sie zusammenfassen, er könnte automatisch eine Woche, nachdem Sie einen bestimmten Stoff konsumiert haben, nachfassen und Ihnen eine kleine Auffrischung geben. Das ist etwas, das meiner Meinung nach die Arbeitsweise von Lernplattformen revolutionieren wird. Bleiben Sie also dran und lassen Sie uns sehen, ob das alles wahr wird. **Wird KI die Lehrer und Lehrerinnen ersetzen?** **Die kurze Antwort lautet: Nein.** Warum denke ich das? Ich war einmal Lehrer. Ich war ein Pädagoge. Ich habe an der Universität von Texas in Dallas Informatik unterrichtet. Die Leute mochten meine Kurse sehr, und einer der Gründe dafür war die **Energie**, der **Enthusiasmus** und die **Anekdoten**, die ich in den Unterricht einbrachte, was die Leute zum Lernen begeistert und sie in die richtige Stimmung versetzte. Und natürlich habe ich den Kernstoff vermittelt, aber ich habe noch viel mehr gemacht. Ich habe viele **wirklich coole praktische Projekte durchgeführt** - wir sollten einen Simulator für ein neuronales Netzwerk bauen. Ich habe immer gute Kritiken bekommen, und **die Leute hatten viel Spaß an meinen Kursen**, und sie schicken mir heute noch zufällig E-Mails. **Hätte AI das nicht auch getan? Nein, das glaube ich nicht.** Aber wenn ich in eine Vorlesung gegangen wäre und nur gesagt hätte: "Okay, Leute, schlagt Seite 15 auf." Lasst uns jetzt alle zusammen lesen", ja, dann hätte man mich wahrscheinlich durch eine KI ersetzen können, wenn ich so schlecht und so langweilig wäre. **Aber ich glaube, dass die Mehrheit der Pädagogen viel mehr tut.** Und das Wichtigste, was Sie tun können, ist, **Ihre Schüler zu inspirieren und zu motivieren**. **Wie können sich Unternehmen oder Universitäten einen Wettbewerbsvorteil verschaffen, wenn die KI-generierten Inhalte für Kurse zu ähnlichen Themen ähnlich sind?** Der erste Teil betrifft die KI, die nicht den gesamten Kurs erstellt. **Die KI soll etwa 80 % des Kurses generieren**, den Kern, mit dem offen gesagt niemand wirklich seine Zeit verbringen möchte, **so dass der Dozent die zusätzlichen 20 % damit verbringen kann**, dem Kurs seine eigene persönliche Note zu geben, seine eigenen Anmerkungen hinzuzufügen, ihn zu seinem eigenen zu machen. Wenn alle Kurse gleich sind, bedeutet das, dass die Leute ihren Job nicht machen, sondern nur auf einen Knopf drücken und dann einfach unterrichten, was überhaupt nicht unserer Philosophie entspricht. Das bedeutet, dass Sie einen **kompetenzorientierten** Ansatz verfolgen möchten, so dass alle Materialien mit den Dingen verknüpft sind, die sie lehren und bewerten. Sie möchten, dass sie **spielerisch gestaltet** sind. Idealerweise möchten Sie, dass die Materialien durch **digitale Sprachausgabe** ansprechend gestaltet werden. In unserem **Copilot-Tool** für die Kurserstellung haben wir all dies direkt in das Tool integriert, um den **Benutzern viel Zeit und Geld zu sparen**. Ich würde sagen, der letzte Punkt, der den Universitäten den größten Wettbewerbsvorteil verschafft, ist die Art der Dozenten, die sie einstellen. Es gibt schlechte Dozenten, die nur nach Lehrbuch unterrichten, und es gibt wirklich begabte Dozenten, die es verstehen, jedes Thema lebendig, unterhaltsam und einprägsam zu gestalten. Sie wollen diese Art von Menschen einstellen, die beste Plattform, die Sie für sie bereitstellen können, die beste KI-Integration, die Sie ihnen geben können, das wird sie glücklich machen und dann können sie mehr Zeit damit verbringen, das zu tun, was sie am besten können, nämlich ihre Studenten zu inspirieren. **Wie können Unternehmen KI am besten in ihre L&D-Programme integrieren?** Verwenden Sie also auf jeden Fall CYPHER Learning, aber abgesehen von der offensichtlichen, würde ich sagen, dass es verschiedene Möglichkeiten gibt, KI zu nutzen. Es gibt Möglichkeiten, die recht oberflächlich sind. Sie erstellen eine herkömmliche Klasse, aber vielleicht markieren Sie nur ein paar Videos mit KI und sind dann fertig. Das ist ein oberflächlicher Einsatz.  Und dann gibt es noch die tiefgreifende Nutzung von KI, bei der man anfängt, einige der Inhalte mit Hilfe von KI automatisch zu generieren, bei der man KI-Crosschecks einsetzt, um sicherzustellen, dass die Inhalte korrekt sind, bei der man fast alles mit den verschiedenen Fertigkeiten verschlagwortet, bei der man Fertigkeitszuordnungen dynamisch mit Hilfe von KI erstellt.  Es gibt so viel mehr, was man mit KI machen kann, und bei CYPHER Learning konzentrieren wir uns auf den tiefgreifenden Einsatz von KI. Wenn Sie sich also unsere Plattform ansehen wollen, werden Sie feststellen, dass wir viel mit künstlicher Intelligenz machen. **Was ist KI-gestütztes Kompetenzmanagement und warum ist es für Personalabteilungen wichtig?** Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, ist es eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben der Personalabteilung oder von L&D, den Menschen zu helfen, sich beruflich weiterzuentwickeln, ihre Arbeit besser zu machen, dafür zu sorgen, dass sie mit den neuesten Technologien Schritt halten und so weiter. Und da sich die Welt immer schneller dreht, wird es für die Menschen immer wichtiger, etwas zu lernen.  Aber man lernt nicht einfach irgendetwas, sondern sehr spezifische Fähigkeiten, die für die eigene Arbeit wichtig sind.  Im Idealfall möchte man also, dass jemand, z. B. der Vorgesetzte, ein Kollege oder ein KI-Agent, sagt: „Hey Graham, um deine Arbeit besser zu machen, solltest du dich in den Fähigkeiten ABC und D verbessern“, und ich sage: „Toll, bitte hilf mir dabei.“ Im Idealfall würde die KI dann die vorhandenen Fähigkeiten und alle verfügbaren Materialien analysieren, einschließlich potenzieller menschlicher Experten, die Ihnen helfen könnten - Kohorten -, diese Dinge zusammenstellen und Ihnen dann auf die Sprünge helfen.  Aber dieser Abgleich ist nicht trivial, denn eine Abteilung könnte eine bestimmte Fähigkeit als X bezeichnen, eine andere Abteilung als Y, ein Bildungsanbieter als Z. Woher weiß man, dass diese drei Dinge tatsächlich alle dasselbe sind?  Es ist möglich, dies ohne KI zu bewerkstelligen, aber es würde eine ziemlich brüchige Reihe von Eins-zu-Viel-Verbindungen erfordern. Eine KI hingegen kann sich anpassen und ist viel flexibler in ihrem Verständnis. Und eine KI kann sagen: Natürlich sind X, Y und Z alle dasselbe - ich werde all diese Dinge zusammenbringen. KI hat also das Potenzial, viele Hindernisse für das Verständnis von Fähigkeiten zu beseitigen, sie abzubilden und dann den Menschen dabei zu helfen, die Fähigkeiten, die sie für ihre Arbeit benötigen, besser zu beherrschen. **Wie hilft CYPHER Learning Unternehmen, die kompetenzbasierte Bildung nutzen wollen?** Wir machen es also unter anderem viel einfacher, neue, moderne Bildungsinhalte zu erstellen und sie mit feinkörnigen Fähigkeiten zu verknüpfen. Wenn Sie beispielsweise einen Kurs über digitales Marketing erstellen, wollen Sie nicht sagen, dass es in diesem Kurs nur um Marketing geht. Sie wollen sagen: Hier geht es um SEO, hier um Pay-per-Click, und hier um Markenmanagement.  Jede einzelne Bewertung, jede einzelne Quizfrage, jedes einzelne Video, alles ist auf diese Fähigkeiten abgestimmt. Wenn dann jemand einen Kurs belegt und den Kurs durchläuft, können Sie herausfinden, ob er all diese verschiedenen Fähigkeiten beherrscht. Durch die Verschlagwortung dieser Dinge können Personen, die Defizite in einer Fähigkeit haben oder eine Fähigkeit verbessern wollen, diese Materialien sehr, sehr leicht finden. Wir haben festgestellt, dass es ohne den Einsatz von KI eine viel größere Belastung für die L&D-Mitarbeiter ist, fertige Materialien zu erstellen.  Wir sind gerade dabei, noch coolere Dinge zu tun, indem wir dynamisch personalisierte Inhalte auf der Grundlage Ihrer Qualifikationsanforderungen generieren - dazu später mehr. Bleiben Sie also dran. **Sind KI-Schulungen Zeitverschwendung?** Ich würde sagen, ja und nein. Ich denke, es ist sehr gut, wenn man genug über KI lernt, um zu erkennen, dass diese Fehler macht, dass man hartnäckig sein muss und mit ihnen reden muss, um ans Ziel zu kommen. Ich denke, das ist gut.  Aber ich denke, dass es Zeitverschwendung ist, sich darin zu üben, wie man sein eigener Souffleur wird. Wenn Sie zum Beispiel in ein paar Minuten Kurse erstellen wollen, gehen Sie auf unsere Plattform, und Sie müssen nichts über Prompt-Engineering wissen. Man sagt einfach: Erstelle mir einen Kurs zu diesem Thema, füllt die Felder aus und sagt dann „Go“.  Wir glauben also, dass immer mehr KI in Pakete verpackt und verwaltet werden wird, so dass man nicht viel über KI wissen muss. Aber man muss sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass es nicht perfekt ist und man immer noch die Kontrolle hat. **NEU: Ist die Verwendung von KI Betrug?** Es kommt darauf an. Ich werde Ihnen einen einfachen Beispiel für Schummeln geben. Nehmen wir einmal an, Sie haben ein Kind in der Schule. Das Kind bekommt eine Hausaufgabe gestellt. Sie stellen sie in ChatGPT ein, kopieren sie und fügen sie ein, ohne ihr eigenes Gehirn zu benutzen. Offensichtlich Betrug. Das zweite Beispiel: Ich bitte einen Ingenieur um einen Tagesbericht, und anstatt aufzuschreiben, was er getan hat, benutzt er ChatGPT, was natürlich Betrug ist. Aber ein paar andere Beispiele: Sagen wir, Sie sind in der K-20, Sie arbeiten an einer Hausarbeit, die wirklich kompliziert ist, und Sie wollen sie am Ende durch die KI laufen lassen, um Ihren Schreibstil zu verbessern, usw. Das ist kein Schummeln. Das ist der Einsatz einer KI, um das zu verbessern, was Ihr Gehirn bereits größtenteils erledigt hat. Sie sind Entwickler und arbeiten an einer wirklich schwierigen technischen Aufgabe, und es gibt ein bestimmtes Codestück, das Sie unbedingt lösen müssen. Es handelt sich um einen relativ einfachen Code, aber Sie wollen nicht die Zeit aufwenden, um ihn zu schreiben. Man benutzt eine KI, um das zu tun, nicht um zu schummeln. Es gibt also ein paar Beispiele, bei denen man definitiv schummelt und definitiv nicht schummelt. **NEU: Wie sehe ich die Evolution von menschlichen Fähigkeiten und KI am Arbeitsplatz?** Ich denke, dass die KI mit Sicherheit immer besser werden wird. Das bedeutet, dass ein Mensch, der weiß, wie er mit einer KI zusammenarbeiten kann, in der Lage sein wird, seine produktiven Fähigkeiten enorm zu steigern. Das bedeutet aber auch, dass Menschen, die nicht wissen, wie sie eine KI nutzen können, in ihren Berufen zurückbleiben werden. Ich denke also, dass KI, insbesondere mit dem Beginn der Agententechnologie, auf jeden Fall besser werden und immer produktiver sein wird, wenn sie von einem Menschen unterstützt wird, der weiß, wie man sie nutzt. **NEU: Sollten Arbeitnehmer über die Einführung von KI am Arbeitsplatz besorgt sein?** Im Allgemeinen würde ich sagen, ja. Es gibt einige Gründe, die mir einfallen. Erstens werden diese KIs immer besser, was bedeutet, dass die Menschen immer mehr mit modernen Fähigkeiten in Kontakt bleiben müssen. Und wenn man in einem Beruf tätig ist, der letztendlich vollständig durch KI ersetzt werden wird, muss man darüber nachdenken, wie man seine Fähigkeiten in einer Branche einsetzen kann, die vollständig für menschliche Arbeitskräfte offen ist. Ich würde also sagen, das ist ein offensichtlicher Punkt. Der zweite, nicht ganz so offensichtliche Punkt ist, dass einige Unternehmen zu enthusiastisch und übereifrig sind, wenn es um den Einsatz von KI geht, und dass Ihr Chef Ihnen vielleicht sagt: „Ja, setzen Sie dafür eine KI ein“, und Sie als erfahrener Arbeitnehmer sagen vielleicht: „Dafür ist es noch nicht bereit, bitte tun Sie es nicht.“ Ich denke also, dass die Leute sich manchmal wehren und die Geschäftsleitung darauf aufmerksam machen müssen, wenn sie sehen, dass KI in einer Weise eingesetzt wird, die nicht angemessen ist, zumindest zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt. Kommende Trends und Folgen der KI **Was halten Sie von der vorgeschlagenen US Bill of Rights zu KI?** Im Großen und Ganzen halte ich es für **absolut sinnvoll**. Ich glaube nicht, dass es irgendetwas Seltsames darin gibt. Um Ihnen eine Vorstellung von den Dingen zu geben, über die sie nachdenken, ist eines davon der **Datenschutz**. Wenn man also eine KI einsetzt, möchte man sicher sein, dass sie nicht alle seine Daten nimmt und sie mit anderen Leuten teilt. Das macht also durchaus Sinn. Ein anderer Punkt betrifft die **nationale Sicherheit**. Die Regierung wird mit wichtigen Anbietern wie OpenAI und Microsoft zusammenarbeiten, um es so schwierig wie möglich zu machen, eine fortgeschrittene KI für ruchlose Zwecke zu nutzen - etwa um einen biologischen Kampfstoff herzustellen oder einen Atomreaktor in die Luft zu jagen. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt ist, dass KI ohne Frage mehr und mehr für die algorithmische Berechnung verschiedener Ergebnisse eingesetzt wird, die sich auf Ihren Lebensunterhalt auswirken können. So können Sie beispielsweise einen Kredit oder eine Wohnung beantragen, und **wir wollen sicherstellen, dass die KI weder direkt noch indirekt eine bestimmte Zielgruppe diskriminiert** und sie dadurch benachteiligt. Der letzte Punkt bezieht sich auf Arbeitsplätze. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass die **KI in den nächsten Jahrzehnten eine ganze Reihe von Arbeitsplätzen verdrängen wird**, aber im Idealfall können die Menschen, die diese Arbeitsplätze innehaben, durch einen Prozess der Höherqualifizierung auf andere Arbeitsplätze wechseln. Und die **US-Regierung will unter anderem sicherstellen, dass dies nicht zu abrupt geschieht**, damit die Menschen in diesen Berufen genügend Zeit haben, auf andere Arbeitsplätze umzusteigen. Insgesamt halte ich die US Bill of Rights für KI also für sehr sinnvoll und sehe keine besonderen Probleme. **Ist die KI in der Lage, die menschliche Leistung im Laufe der Zeit zu bewerten?** Ich würde sagen, **die Antwort lautet ja, allerdings mit Einschränkungen.** Nehmen wir an, die KI hat Zugang zu Ihren Ergebnissen - wenn Sie ein Ingenieur sind, welche Art von Code Sie schreiben, wenn Sie ein kreativer Schriftsteller sind, den Text, den Sie schreiben. Das kann man sicherlich evaluieren, ich glaube nicht, dass es dabei um Magie geht. Aber es gibt eine große Anzahl von Dingen, die Sie im Laufe des Tages tun und die Ihrem Unternehmen wirklich helfen - **ob es Spaß macht, mit Ihnen zusammen zu sein, ob Sie eine großartige Einstellung haben, ob Sie einen guten Teamgeist haben, ob Sie sich der Herausforderung stellen, wenn schwierige Zeiten kommen.**All das sind Dinge, zu denen die KI wahrscheinlich keinen direkten Zugang hat. Vielleicht könnte das jemand aufschreiben, aber solange wir nicht von Sicherheitskameras umgeben sind, wird man Sie nicht dabei sehen, wie Sie nachts um 22 Uhr einen wirklich schwierigen Fehler für einen wichtigen Kunden beheben. Ich denke also, dass sie in der Lage sein werden, die Ergebnisse im Laufe der Zeit zu bewerten, **aber ich glaube, dass es bei der Bewertung um viel mehr geht als nur um die Beurteilung der Ergebnisse**. **Was ist uns noch nicht bewusst, was die Zukunft des Lernens beeinflussen wird?** Ich werde einige Beispiele anführen, eines aus dem Bereich der Schulen und Universitäten, aber es lässt sich genauso gut auf Unternehmen anwenden. Worüber die meisten Leute im Moment nicht so viel reden, sind persönliche Agenten. Unter einem **persönlichen Agenten** verstehe ich jemanden, der viel über Sie weiß, der Ihnen hilft, der rund um die Uhr verfügbar ist und der sich ständig an Ihre Ziele und Ihre Interaktionen mit dem Agenten anpasst.  Nehmen wir an, Sie interessieren sich für ein bestimmtes Thema und Sie sprechen mit Ihrem Agenten und sagen: "Hey, können Sie mir etwas mehr über X erzählen?" Der Agent weiß nun, dass Sie sich für X interessieren. Er hat Zugriff auf das gesamte Netz und weiß, dass er eine Menge interessanter verwandter Themen finden kann, sobald er mit Ihnen interagiert hat. Wenn er das Gefühl hat, dass Sie es nicht ganz verstanden haben, sagt er vielleicht: "Hey, lass mich das mal anders erklären". Und eine Woche später könnte es sagen: "Ich möchte nur ein kurzes Quiz machen, um zu sehen, ob du dich daran erinnerst." Ich mache übrigens all diese Dinge für meine Kinder, ich bin also so etwas wie ihr persönlicher Agent, wenn Sie so wollen. Man kann das mit dem vergleichen, was man in einer traditionellen Lernumgebung sieht, wo man von einem Lehrer in einem Jahr zu einem anderen Lehrer geht, dann die Schule wechselt oder in der Welt der L&D in dieser Organisation lernt, dann zu einer anderen Organisation im selben Unternehmen wechselt und dann zu einem anderen Unternehmen. **Das ändert sich ständig**. Aber bei einem persönlichen Agenten spielt das keine Rolle, weil er Ihnen gehört. Er untersteht nicht dem Unternehmen an sich. **Außerdem hat er Zugang zu einer Menge Informationen**, die in Echtzeit im Netz verfügbar sind. Wenn es also ein neues Thema oder ein neues verwandtes Material gibt, kann es Sie innerhalb von 10 Minuten darüber informieren. Versuchen Sie mal, das in der Schule zu machen. Ich glaube, dass die **neue KI-Generation**, meine Kinder zum Beispiel, bereits mit KI interagiert und es ihnen Spaß macht. Ich denke, **sie werden diese Form der individuellen Anpassung und detaillierten Interaktion erwarten**. Es besteht immer die Gefahr, dass sie, wenn sie in ihre Schule, Universität oder ihr Unternehmen gehen und es nicht einigermaßen auf der Höhe der Zeit ist, das Gefühl haben werden, dass sie hier im finsteren Mittelalter leben und ich einfach zu meinem vertrauten persönlichen Agenten zurückkehre. Das ist es, was meiner Meinung nach in**der Welt der Bildung eine ziemlich große Sache sein wird.** **Verringert ChatGPT die Leistung der Lernenden im Klassenzimmer?** **Das hängt wirklich davon ab, wie sie es benutzen**. Wenn Sie die Klasse auf dieselbe Art und Weise unterrichten wie bisher, die gleiche Art von Fragen stellen und die SchülerInnen sich einfach umdrehen und ChatGPT benutzen können, um schnell eine Antwort zu finden, dann ja, wird es wahrscheinlich faule SchülerInnen noch fauler machen, sagen wir. **Das ist problematisch, wenn man einfach so weiter unterrichtet, während die Leute KI benutzen**, dann erweist man ihnen einen schlechten Dienst. Man muss ihnen viel **komplexere Aufgaben stellen, die sie dazu bringen, sich intensiv mit der Frage zu beschäftigen: Wie nutze ich eine KI?** Wie kann ich mit ihr zusammenarbeiten, um dieses viel höhere Leistungsniveau zu erreichen? In diesen Situationen müssen die SchülerInnen**kreativ** darüber nachdenken, wie sie sich mit der KI auseinandersetzen können, z. B. wie ich den **Ingenieur** dazu aufforderte, wie ich die Informationen **überprüfen** kann, um sicherzugehen, dass sie wahr sind, denn wenn ich einfach etwas kopiere und einfüge und es offensichtlich falsch ist, lässt das die SchülerInnen schlecht aussehen. Es gibt viele Dinge, die sie tun müssen, aber wie ich schon sagte, denke ich, dass die Hauptverantwortung bei den **Lehrern oder Ausbildern liegt, um die Erwartungen zu erhöhen, damit die Leute nicht geistig faul werden**. **Welcher Zusammenhang besteht zwischen KI und Soft Skills?** Oft wird die Tatsache nicht erwähnt, **dass man tagsüber mit vielen verschiedenen Menschen zu tun hat**, sei es ein Gespräch mit einem kreativen Autor, der versucht, einen bestimmten Blickwinkel für ein Thema zu finden, sei es ein Gespräch mit Menschen, die in der Intensivstation arbeiten, oder mit einem Neurochirurgen, wenn man im medizinischen Bereich tätig ist. Ich kann mir eine Menge Leute vorstellen, mit denen man zu tun hat, bei denen die Art und Weise, **wie sie mit einem umgehen, für beide Seiten entscheidend ist**. Wenn ich in die Notaufnahme gehe und dort ein Arzt sitzt, der nicht einfühlsam ist, unhöflich ist und nicht sieht, dass ich starke Schmerzen habe und dringend behandelt werden muss, dann werde ich natürlich sehr unzufrieden sein. Im Gegensatz dazu hatte ich einige sehr positive Begegnungen mit Ärzten, bei denen man sich sehr wohl fühlt, die verstehen, woher man kommt, die einem den Vorrang geben, wenn es nötig ist, und das ist ein wichtiger Teil eines erfolgreichen Berufslebens, und ich denke, dass die Soft Skills schon immer sehr wichtig waren. Ich glaube, die Leute fangen jetzt an zu fragen: "Hey, was ist der Unterschied zwischen mir und einer KI?" Eines der ersten Dinge, die sie ansprechen werden, sind die **Soft Skills**. Ich glaube, dass viele Menschen auf der ganzen Welt sehr motiviert sein werden, ihre sozialen Kompetenzen zu verbessern. Interessanterweise **könnte KI-gestützte Software eine der Möglichkeiten sein, die Fähigkeit zu sehr guten Soft Skills zu beschleunigen**. Ich weiß, dass wir bei CYPHER viel mit Organisationen und Schulen zusammenarbeiten, um **kompetenzbasiertes Lernen zu nutzen, um Soft Skills zu messen und bestimmte Bereiche mit Stärken und Schwächen gezielt zu fördern**. Ich denke, ja, das hängt definitiv zusammen, und ich glaube, dass Soft Skills durch das **Wiederaufleben der KI noch viel stärker in den Vordergrund rücken werden**. **Wird CYPHER Copilot den Lernenden helfen?** Die heutige Frage lautet also: "Ich weiß, dass CYPHER Copilot hervorragende Arbeit leistet und es mir ermöglicht, **in wenigen Minuten ansprechende, moderne Kurse zu erstellen**. Aber sehen Sie einen Moment, in dem Copilot den Lernenden zusätzlich hilft, ihre Talente zu erkennen, Dinge schneller zu lernen, die sie nicht verstehen, und ihnen auch sonst auf ihrem Bildungsweg zu helfen?" Die Antwort lautet: Auf jeden Fall! Das, worauf Sie anspielen, **ist ein sogenannter Agent**. CYPHER Learning ist bemüht, unsere Copilot-Funktionalität so auszubauen, dass sie genau diese Art von Agenten enthält. **Was ist ein persönlicher Agent und was kann er für Sie tun?** Im Allgemeinen ist **ein Agent etwas, das autonom in Ihrem Namen arbeitet**. Es ist also nicht etwas, dem man eine Frage stellen muss und das dann antwortet. Man kann im Grunde sagen: "Hey, ich möchte etwas über alle möglichen Themen lernen", und dann wird er wie ein kleines Eichhörnchen rund um die Uhr arbeiten, Informationen aufspüren, sie weitergeben und Vorschläge machen. Wir glauben wirklich, dass Agenten die Zukunft der KI sind, und viele andere Leute tun das auch, das ist nicht nur meine persönliche Meinung. Wir sind in der Bildungsbranche tätig und **arbeiten daher sehr hart daran, die Möglichkeiten von persönlichen Agenten für Pädagogen nutzbar zu machen**. Und das gilt sowohl für Lernende, also wie hilft man einem Lernenden auf seinem Bildungsweg? Aber auch für Pädagogen, die ansprechende Materialien erstellen wollen, und ein Agent kann auch in Ihrem Namen arbeiten. **Was sind die Auswirkungen auf die Zukunft der Technologie und der Arbeit?** Turnitin hat kürzlich verkündet, dass sie in der Lage sein werden, ihr Ingenieurteam erheblich zu verkleinern und eine Reihe von Ingenieuren durch KI zu ersetzen. Dazu habe ich ein paar Überlegungen. Zunächst einmal sollten wir das Thema KI komplett vom Tisch wischen. **Der beste Weg, Software effizient zu entwickeln, besteht darin, kleine Teams aus wirklich erfahrenen Leuten zusammenzustellen**, die wiederverwendbare Frameworks entwickelnund**die fortschrittlichsten Werkzeuge einsetzen**, so dass eine kleine Anzahl von Leuten eine Menge erreichen kann. Das sind Hochleistungsteams, und genau solche Teams haben wir hier bei CYPHER Learning. Es gibt sicherlich Ingenieurteams, die nicht die neuesten Software-Best-Practice-Verfahren übernommen haben und in denen weniger begabte Ingenieure, sagen wir mal, eine Menge mittelmäßiges Zeug bauen, das auf viel effizientere Weise gemacht werden könnte. Und ich denke, dass es bei einer solchen Organisation durchaus möglich ist, durch den Einsatz von KI eine gewisse Verschlankung zu erreichen. Aber ich glaube wirklich, dass KI in diesem Fall ein Ablenkungsmanöver ist. Ich denke, dass man ein Ingenieurteam normalerweise trotzdem verkleinern würde, wenn es so leicht durch KI ersetzbar ist. Bei CYPHER Learning kann ich auf keinen Fall irgendjemanden in unserem Ingenieurteam durch KI ersetzen, weil sie einfach viel zu gut sind, aber sie **nutzen KI täglich, um ihre eigene Produktivität effizienter zu gestalten**. **Wie wird sich KI auf den Berufseinstieg von Studenten auswirken?** Ich glaube, **dass fast jeder Beruf von KI profitieren kann**, es sei denn, man wendet Burger bei In-N-Out. Aber ich denke, es ist wirklich wichtig, dass Menschen, die ins Berufsleben eintreten, von Anfang an gut über den Einsatz von KI informiert sind. Ich weiß, dass **wir bei CYPHER Learning davon ausgehen, dass die meisten Menschen KI nutzen werden, um produktiver zu werden**. Und ich wäre sehr besorgt, wenn es in irgendeiner Position einen Mitarbeiter gäbe, der keine KI einsetzt. Sie wollen also nicht der eine ahnungslose Student sein, der einen neuen Job bekommt und um den herum alle anderen KI einsetzen, ohne dass Sie wirklich wissen, worum es geht. Ich würde sagen, dass man dadurch definitiv produktiver wird, aber man möchte nicht derjenige sein, der nicht weiß, wie man eine KI benutzt. **Wie können Sie KI nutzen, um sicherzustellen, dass neue Mitarbeiter die erforderliche Schulung erhalten?** Es gibt da ein paar Dinge. Zunächst einmal sollten wir uns das Wort "sicherstellen" ansehen. Es gibt viele Produkte und Kurse, in denen man allgemeine Dinge wie Marketing oder Verkauf lernt. Aber die meisten Unternehmen, die sicherstellen wollen, dass jemand diese Ausbildung hat, wollen ein gewisses Maß an Rückverfolgbarkeit bis hin zu einzelnen Fähigkeiten. Im Bereich Marketing beispielsweise gibt es vielleicht 30 oder 40 verschiedene Fähigkeiten, bei denen man sicher sein will, dass sie jemand tatsächlich versteht und beherrscht, und nicht einfach nur einen Kurs besucht hat, bei dem er vielleicht gar nichts verstanden hat. Ich würde sagen, **dass die Einführung einer kompetenzbasierten Schulungsmethodik, bei der der gesamte Inhalt, die Ausbildung, das Material, die Tests und die Beurteilungen mit den Fähigkeiten verknüpft sind, ein wirklich wichtiger Weg** ist, um sicherzustellen, dass die Teilnehmer sie beherrschen. Um dies schnell zu erreichen, haben wir bei CYPHER Learning eine Copilot-Technologie entwickelt - **CYPHER Copilot**, nicht zu verwechseln mit Microsoft Copilot, übrigens. **Damit können L&D-Mitarbeiter in etwa 10 Minuten diese Kurse erstellen, die komplett an Kompetenzen gebunden sind**. Ansonsten ist es eine etwas mühsame Arbeit. Aber ich möchte alle wissen lassen, dass es jetzt schon KI-gestützte Tools gibt, mit denen diese wirklich ansprechenden Kurse erstellt werden können, die sich auf Kompetenzen beziehen. Ich möchte auch darauf hinweisen, dass ich glaube, dass Sie bald damit beginnen werden, direkt zum Lernenden auf dem Marktplatz zu gehen, wo jemand, der keinen Zugang zu einem Kurs hat oder nicht dazu geneigt ist, sich mit einer KI auseinandersetzen kann, diese neuen Fähigkeiten erlernen kann, aber sie wieder mit den Fähigkeiten in einer Weise verknüpft, dass ihr Lernen und Verstehen tatsächlich sichergestellt ist. Bleiben Sie also auf dem Laufenden, was CYPHER Learning demnächst anbieten wird. **Was ist der aktuelle Stand der KI?** Meines Erachtens gibt es derzeit eine ganze Reihe von KI mit ähnlichen Fähigkeiten. Ob es nun ChatGPT 4.0 oder Anthropic Claude ist, oder Gemini von Google. Aber sie bewegen sich alle in der gleichen Größenordnung, es gibt nichts, was einen massiven Durchbruch oder einen riesigen Schritt nach vorne bedeutet. **Ich glaube, jeder in der KI-Branche erwartet bald einen Schritt nach vorne**. Es gab verschiedene Gerüchte über ein ChatGPT 5.0, eine neue Version von Google Gemini usw. Ich glaube, sie werden schon bald genauer werden, also weniger Halluzinationen haben und viel besser und leistungsfähiger denken können. Ich habe irgendwo gelesen, dass es einen Experten für Elektronik gibt, der u. a. herausfindet, wie gut eine KI ist, indem er ein kompliziertes elektronisches Gerät mit allen Widerständen und Kondensatoren und so weiter entwickelt. Dieser Mann stolperte anscheinend über eine frühe Version der nächsten Version von ChatGPT und sagte, dass sie eine erstaunliche Arbeit geleistet haben und keine andere KI das zuvor getan hat. Ich denke also, dass wir schon bald eine Schrittfunktion sehen werden, und dass die Preise für die Grundlagen weiter sinken werden. Es wird eine viel leistungsfähigere Videosynthese geben, eine viel leistungsfähigere Bildsynthese. **Ich denke, all diese Dinge werden in den nächsten 6 bis 9 Monaten geschehen. Aber ich denke, dass die größere Welle in Richtung KI-Agenten** gehen wird, was das Thema eines früheren LinkedIn-Posts von mir war. **Gibt es verschiedene Mittel, die Sie verwenden können?** Die Antwort ist ja. In der Regel kann man sich ein Spektrum vorstellen. Auf der einen Seite haben Sie einen Agenten in einer Box, der Dinge für Sie tun kann, aber nicht unbedingt Ihr Geld ausgeben oder einen Flug buchen kann, und auf der anderen Seite sehr autonome Agenten, denen Sie die Freiheit geben, Ihre Brieftasche zu öffnen und Dinge zu kaufen. Wir glauben, dass der Agent in der Box, zumindest vorläufig, viel beliebter und verbreiteter sein wird. Das ist die Art von Agenten, an der wir im Moment arbeiten. **Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Copilot und Agent?** Ein Kopilot ist etwas, das man normalerweise als Tag-Team für eine Aufgabe einsetzt. Es ist buchstäblich so, als ob du das Flugzeug fliegst und dein Kopilot neben dir sitzt. Wenn Sie zum Beispiel die CYPHER-Plattform nutzen, um einen Kurs zu erstellen, nennen wir das einen Copiloten, weil Sie den Kurs mit Hilfe einer KI erstellen.  Agenten hingegen sind in der Regel ein wenig autonomer. Man kann ihnen eine Aufgabe geben und sie brauchen vielleicht eine Stunde, einen Tag oder eine Woche, um diese Aufgabe zu erledigen. Sie werden sich wahrscheinlich mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen, um Sie über den Stand der Dinge zu informieren. Sie sind sehr viel autonomer als ein Kopilot.  Und bei CYPHER arbeiten wir in diesem Moment an der Agenten-Technologie. Bleiben Sie also dran für weitere Informationen. **Warum sind zustandsabhängige KI wichtig?** Eine zustandsbehaftete KI ist besonders wichtig, wenn es um Agenten geht, denn im Falle eines Agenten erhält man einen Auftrag. Vielleicht soll man einen schönen Urlaub auf Barbados oder so buchen, und der Agent kennt alle Schritte, die notwendig sind. Er wird von Schritt eins zu Schritt zwei zu Schritt drei gehen. Es weiß immer, wo es sich auf dem Weg zu seinem Ziel befindet. Sie werden in der Schleife sein. Sie sind also Teil des Ziels des zustandsorientierten Agenten.  Bei einem Copiloten hingegen gibt es in der Regel nicht sehr viel Status. Es gibt eine kurze Aufgabe, und dann ist man fertig und hat es geschafft. Deshalb ist der Zustand sehr wichtig - vor allem im Hinblick auf KI-Agenten. **Wie bleibt CYPHER Learning in der sich schnell entwickelnden EdTech-Branche an der Spitze?** Ich muss sagen, dass ich nicht glaube, dass sich die Technologiebranche schnell entwickelt. Ich meine, wir wissen, wer unsere Konkurrenten sind, und die scheinen sich ziemlich langsam zu bewegen, um ehrlich zu sein. Die Art und Weise, wie wir innovativ sind, hängt nicht davon ab, wie schnell die anderen innovativ sind.  Wir sind sehr leidenschaftlich, wenn es darum geht, wohin wir glauben, dass die Zukunft geht, und wir bauen sie so schnell wie möglich auf, unabhängig davon, was die anderen machen. Aber wenn wir uns umschauen, müssen wir feststellen, dass sich viele Unternehmen im Moment sehr langsam bewegen. **Wie werden sich die jüngsten Fortschritte in der generativen KI auf die Bildungstechnologie auswirken?** Die künstliche Intelligenz entwickelt sich so schnell, dass „kürzlich“ schon gestern gewesen sein könnte, aber ich kann sagen, dass es eine Menge Fortschritte bei der Videoerstellung gegeben hat. Schon bald werden Sie also Echtzeitvideos sehen, die Ihnen fast alles beibringen, ohne dass Sie zum Beispiel auf YouTube gehen müssen. Sie könnten personalisiert werden, sie könnten sogar mit Ihrer Stimme oder Ihrem Gesicht gemacht werden - das wird ziemlich verrückt sein.  Der Aspekt der Argumentation wird immer stärker. Ihr habt wahrscheinlich schon von dem Project Strawberry gehört. Wir erwarten also weitere Fortschritte in diesem Bereich. Fortgeschrittenes Denken bedeutet, dass die KI-Agenten intelligenter werden können. Sie werden also in der Lage sein, Sie auf viel tiefgreifende Weise zu unterstützen, damit Sie lernen können, was immer Sie lernen wollen.  Und ich finde auch, dass die Preisentwicklung erstaunlich ist. Wir haben die Preise für Copilot letzte Woche um etwa 30 % gesenkt und es wird immer schneller. Die Unterstützung für mehrere Sprachen wird immer besser. Die Preise werden also weiter sinken, und das macht das Programm für alle unsere Kunden noch zugänglicher. **NEU: Wie kann ich mir den KI-Einsatz in anderen Branchen außerhalb der Lernbranche vorstellen?** Soweit ich das einschätzen kann, ist diese Technologie in so gut wie allen Branchen sehr, sehr nützlich. Ein besonderer Bereich ist jedoch die Arzneimittelforschung. Die Entdeckung von Arzneimitteln war in der Regel ein ziemliches Problem, das sich nur schwer lösen ließ. Und dank Innovationen wie AlphaFold aus den Google-Forschungslabors und anderen Dingen, die OpenAI macht, wird KI eingesetzt, um die Medikamentenentdeckung zu beschleunigen und sie von einem Hit-or-miss-Ansatz zu einem gezielten Ansatz zu machen. Das ist nur ein Beispiel, bei dem ich denke, dass KI erstaunliche Arbeit leisten kann, und dass es für Menschen sehr, sehr schwer wäre, in der Arzneimittelentdeckung ohne den Einsatz von KI so weit zu kommen. **NEU: Was ist wohl das größte Irrtum über KI?** Ich würde sagen, das größte Irrtum ist, dass die Leute annehmen, dass es immer Halluzinationen hat und Fehler machen wird. Nun, es ist immer möglich, einen Fehler zu machen. Aber diese KIs werden immer besser und durchdachter und feilen an ihren Antworten. Und wenn Sie OpenAI verfolgen, haben die seit gestern das o1-Modell veröffentlicht, das in der professionellen Version des o1-Modells tatsächlich bis zu einer Minute nachdenken kann, bevor es Ihnen eine Antwort gibt. Ich glaube also, dass es nicht mehr lange dauern wird, bis KIs viel weniger Fehler machen als früher. Es wird nie gegen Null gehen, aber es wird viel, viel genauer sein als ein menschlicher Experte. **NEU: Was ist für mich die wichtigste Prognose für KI im Jahr 2025?** Was ist meine wichtigste Vorhersage für KI im Jahr 2025? Und das sind drei Worte: Agenten, Agenten, Agenten. Und was ich damit meine, ist ein Beispiel aus der Lernindustrie, in der CYPHER offensichtlich tätig ist. In der Vergangenheit waren die Menschen nicht unbedingt gut im selbstgesteuerten Lernen. Sie waren sich nicht sicher, was sie wirklich brauchten, sie wussten nicht, wie sie angemessen lernen sollten. Für Manager kann es schwierig sein, zu verfolgen, was ihre Lernenden tun, und Empfehlungen auszusprechen. Aber KI ist in diesen Dingen ziemlich gut. Wenn sie weiß, was Sie sich von Ihrer Karriere erhoffen, wenn sie weiß, was Sie gut können und wo Sie Hilfe brauchen, dann kann sie einen personalisierten Lernpfad für Sie erstellen, sie kann personalisierte Inhalte nur für Sie generieren. Wenn Sie ein Manager sind, kann es automatisch verfolgen, was mit all Ihren Mitarbeitern passiert, wie gut sie sich machen und wo sie Hilfe brauchen. Und das alles kann proaktiv von einem KI-Agenten erledigt werden. Wir arbeiten wirklich stark an Agententechnologie. Wir haben den ersten Lernagenten, der sehr bald auf den Markt kommen wird, aber ein Großteil dessen, was wir im Jahr 2025 tun werden, ist die Anwendung proaktiver KI in Form von Agenten für alle Beteiligten, die die CYPHER-Plattform nutzen. Sind Sie bereit, CYPHER Learning in der Praxis zu erleben? ### --- ## Infographic: Competency-based training » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/business/boosting-learning-outcomes-through-competency-based-training **Last Modified:** 2025-01-27 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For business # Boosting learning outcomes through competency-based training **Competency-based training** is an excellent approach for companies that want to **bridge the skills gap** and have the best talent for each role. It also powers career development and provides employees with the ability to close personal skill gaps, become better at what they do and feel more confident their abilities. With the right implementation strategy, competency-based training might turn out to be an efficient motivator for employees and an excellent solution to **boost company performance.** Here’s how to **implement competency-based training** in your organization: 1. ### Competency map One of the first steps in adopting a **competency-based learning system** is to design a **competency map** for all roles in your company. Essentially, it’s all letting people know what they should do – **specific tasks, concrete skills** – to be great at their job. It may prove an effective motivator as well, as employees can get very **specific feedback** for improvement. 2. ### Divide and conquer For any given task, such as “customer-focused presentation delivery”; at least three **competencies** are required to perform this task well: communication, account management, and field service delivery. If performance is not as expected, **training is required** for at least one of these competencies. Your job is to break them down into manageable chunks and what exactly the learner needs to know. 3. ### Set realistic timeframes Address **skill gaps effectively**, making sure that expectations and realities meet. Set a **manageable time frame** to allow people to monitor their progress and to feel more confident their learning process. Do not speed things up and allow each person to reach their **full potential at their own pace**. Patience will eventually pay off. 4. ### Personalize Negotiate **time frames, learning outcomes, learning methods** with the staff involved to allow them to choose the best option. Keep in mind that people have different learning preferences and offer alternatives as much as possible. Last but not least, include **competency-based learning in career planning** and motivate staff according to personal progress. 5. ### Use in-house resources Use the competency map to **identify which employees perform better** and at which tasks. Make the most of **in-house talent** and pair up experts with novices whenever possible. For a hands-on learning approach, that addresses specific competencies, an expert willing to share his experience could be a great solution.

[All infographics](/resources?type=infographic) [Next infographic](/resources/infographics/academia/the-9-elements-of-digital-citizenship-your-students-need-to-know) --- ## Infographic: Use a gamified LMS for training » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/business/reasons-to-use-a-gamified-lms-for-training **Last Modified:** 2024-08-19 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For business # 5 Reasons to use a gamified LMS for training The use of gamification in training usually improves the attitude towards learning, increases learner engagement and motivation and boosts employee productivity. Gathering points, collecting badges and competing for the first place on a leaderboard can really do wonders in terms of learning, even for people working in the most serious industries. That’s why a gamified LMS can be a great addition to your training program. 1. ### Boosts engagement Long blocks of text without any visual variation is a sure recipe for boredom. Adding gamified elements like points, badges or leaderboards drive participation, as people have a natural desire to win: knowledge, skills, the recognition of others. 2. ### Motivation and goal tracking People are motivated by a need to accomplish, to work towards goals. A gamified LMS can create a learning environment where each employee’s specific professional goal can be achieved by taking a series of learning actions. 3. ### Improves knowledge retention Training becomes more engaging with gamification and the level of information retention is increased. Employees are much more likely to remember what they are taught because they are more involved in the process of learning. 4. ### Promotes team building A gamified LMS can also be considered an outlet for employees to connect socially and to contribute with learning content. This enhances collaboration, communication, knowledge-sharing and helping each other. 5. ### Valuable feedback Being able to parse massive amounts of learning data in real time, a gamified LMS allow instructors to easily track the performance of employees and get valuable feedback how they’re learning as they progress in their training. **Try out CYPHER's platform, a [gamified LMS](/business/tour/automate-and-gamify) that makes it easy to train your employees** Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning. [All infographics](/resources?type=infographic) [Next infographic](/resources/infographics/academia/practical-tips-for-byod-equity) --- ## Infographic: LMSs for business organizations » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/business/pros-and-cons-of-proprietary-open-source-and-cloud-based-lmss **Last Modified:** 2025-01-27 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For business # Pros and cons of proprietary, open-source, and cloud-based LMSs What are the types of learning management systems for business organizations? What are the good things each of them? What the not so good things? 1. ### Proprietary LMS This type of LMS may not have all the bells and whistles, but it works. There may be some strings attached, and little wiggle room, but it will always have your back. **Pros** A proprietary LMS is **reliable**. It might have a well-known name, and it does what every LMS is supposed to do: enable the creation of training courses, and support the learning process. It offers **training and support**, and it's accountable for the well-functioning of the system. **Cons** A proprietary LMS is **not** exactly **cheap**. You will have to pay for the all-the-time service. This might keep smaller organizations at a distance. It's rather **restrictive**. Users don't have much space for testing new things or features. Also, customizing your internal learning portal is closer to a dream than to reality. 2. ### Open-source LMS Open-source learning platforms revolutionized the business education landscape by focusing on teaching and pedagogy on top of the technical proper functioning of the system. **Pros** The great majority of open-source LMSs are **free**, or at least freemium: the basic package is free, but if you need or want other advanced features, you'll have to pay extra. An open-source LMS is easy to use and also **customizable**. The users can access the source code in order to personalize their learning portal, add features, and even fix bugs. It is **built by a collaborative community**: the more the people, the greater the common knowledge, the better the system. **Cons** It is **built by a collaborative community**. What happens between the time a knowledgeable member of the community drops the project they were working on, and the time another one jumps in to fill the gap? Also, who's to blame if the quality of the code is low, or when something goes seriously wrong? An open-source LMS comes with some **hidden costs**: hosting fees, maintenance fees, back-ups, extra storage space, more tech supports. It may not be that free, after all. 3. ### Cloud-based LMS This type of LMS is powerful, adaptable, and comes with huge storage space. Finally the user and its needs are at the center of learning technology! **Pros** A cloud-based LMS comes with **low** initial **costs** and transparency for later expenses, while offering a **cornucopia of tools and features** for the most sophisticated organizational learning needs. The best things choosing a cloud-based LMS is that it is **scalable**. If your company grows, your cloud-based LMS can grow alongside it, and to do that smoothly. **Cons** A cloud-based LMS **relies on an internet connection** all the time; but is this really a drawback? Some LMS vendors don't comply with the latest **data security standards** and don't have the latest security certifications. But others are leaders in this area. So there aren’t that many cons cloud-based LMSs. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Limited student engagement in a distance learning environment - Difficulty navigating and utilizing their previous LMS - Needed data management and analytics to track student progress Before adopting CYPHER, the University of Batangas faced several key challenges that impacted the effectiveness of their distance education program. Student engagement was one of the major concerns, as the university **struggled to maintain active participation in the virtual classroom**. Additionally, many students and educators **found the existing LMS difficult to use**, which created barriers to smooth interaction and course delivery. On top of that, the institution lacked advanced tools for collecting and analyzing data, making it **difficult to gain insights** into student performance and to identify areas for improvement. The transition to distance learning also proved challenging in terms of scalability. The university had to ensure that the LMS could be **effectively implemented across all campuses**, which was a significant hurdle. Compliance and engagement issues were particularly noticeable during the early years of the LMS' implementation, as the university worked to fine-tune its approach to online education. ## The solution - Streamlined course management and content delivery - Increased student engagement through interactive and gamified features - Enhanced data-driven decision-making with real-time analytics Since adopting the CYPHER platform, our learning and training processes have undergone significant transformation, **enhancing both efficiency and effectiveness**.  ### Features The intuitive course management tools have allowed us to organize and manage courses more efficiently. This has **streamlined content delivery and scheduling**, making it easier for educators to create and update course materials. The platform's interactive features, such as multimedia integration and gamified learning modules, have **greatly increased student engagement**. These tools have made learning more dynamic and enjoyable, leading to improved retention and understanding of the material.  The platform supports automatic grading and detailed feedback, which helps students understand their strengths and areas for improvement more clearly. The real-time analytics and reporting features have been invaluable. They allow us to **monitor student progress and performance continuously**, identify trends, and **make data-driven decisions**. This has led to **more personalized and effective instruction**.  The built-in communication tools have facilitated better interaction between students and instructors.

Project-based learning is a viable solution for delivering instruction and since it’s based on the student’s learning objectives and needs, it paves the way to great academic results and significant student achievement. Here are **7 design elements** that are key to creating successful project-based learning: 1. ### Challenging problem or question The project must be designed around a problem to be solved or a question to be answered — and these need to be **wrapped in an interesting way**. 2. ### Sustained inquiry Once students get a **challenging- enough problem or question** their curiosity will kick in. Teachers should encourage them to find the answers by themselves, using any resource they want. 3. ### Authenticity The project should feature a **real world context** or at least **address students’ interests**. No matter what the project is , there needs to be a clearly authentic part of it. 4. ### Student voice and choice Students are encouraged to **make decisions** and along their **learning journey**. This **empowerment** over their own learning process contributes to higher retention rates. 5. ### Reflection When you do or learn something for the first time, you realize there’s always a better way. **Students should reflect upon their learning processes** and be able to draw some conclusions. 6. ### Critique and revision This is what didn’t work and figuring out why. **Identifying what could have been better** is the first step in improving processes, which will **help student get better results next time**. 7. ### Public product Students need to make their project work public by **explaining, displaying and/or presenting** it to people beyond the classroom - thus distinguishing PBL from other teaching strategies.

Finding ideas that work, whether in-person, hybrid, or fully online, can sometimes be challenging. However, I have found that by using some of the Augmented and Virtual Reality tools, we can provide engaging learning experiences for our students. Student engagement is one area that I have continued to work on over the past few years, especially in our virtual learning environment. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of resources to choose from for AR/VR; however, it can be overwhelming to sort through all of the options or know where to start. The first thing I consider is the purpose of using them. I try to find tools that have benefits beyond their educational use that will help students prepare for the future. I also look for options that give students a chance to create more with the content and which do not have a steep learning curve or require a significant time commitment for teachers to get started. As we look for activities and new ideas to keep students engaged, especially as we work through our transitioning learning environments, I think this presents the perfect opportunity to explore emerging technologies like Augmented and Virtual Reality. With possibilities for traveling around the world or exploring objects up close now limited, we can implement a few AR and VR tools as a means to explore and for having students become the creators. Providing students with a chance to more meaningfully engage with the content by moving from consumers to creators leads to increased student engagement and higher student achievement. ## 7 Ways to explore and create with Augmented and Virtual Reality Through these AR/VR tools, students can connect more closely with what they are studying and build upon their knowledge by creating authentic representations of what they have learned. With more choices for using these tools, we are better able to meet specific student interests and needs. Here are seven options to get started with that can be used in STEM/STEAM courses or any content area! 1. ### CoSpaces EDU This is a Virtual Reality platform that I have used for the past four years and has become a favorite of my eighth-grade students this year. Virtually teaching my STEAM course has been a little more challenging; however, using tools like this, students can learn more emerging technologies and collaborate regardless of where they are! Whether they create a space in 360, design their own parkour game, collaborate on writing an interactive story, or build a fun space to explore, students will enjoy creating in VR while also developing coding skills. 2. ### Devar This is a fun app that enables the user to select one of the lively characters to bring into the classroom or environment. It is easy to get started with Devar, and it can be another fun way for students and teachers to learn more Augmented Reality and how it can be used for storytelling. Get started by selecting a character and then add music or your narration to it and record. Teachers can create and then share the video with students or have students create their own stories. 3. ### Figment AR For something fun to get started quickly with AR, Figment AR has been one of my favorite apps over the years. Not only is it for AR, but it also includes VR through the use of portals that can be added to your experience. My students have used it for creating short stories that have animated characters and special effects. A fun element is when they move from AR to VR and get trapped inside of the portals that they create! Use Figment for digital storytelling in any class. 4. ### Google AR/VR Google offers a website that is full of resources for learning Augmented and Virtual Reality. The site offers [experiences](https://arvr.google.com/experiences/) that include more immersive ways to learn math, science, the human body, and more in Augmented Reality. For science or history, bring prehistoric [creatures](https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/arts-culture/invite-ancient-creatures-your-living-room-ar/) or other animals into your environment. You can even create your own AR experience by [downloading](https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/downloads) the software development kit (SDK) to create with Google ARCore. 5. ### Merge EDU Imagine holding the layers of the earth, a frog, a volcano, and more for close explorations right in your hands! Merge EDU is an AR/VR platform that provides more interactive learning for students to explore science-related topics in augmented reality through Merge Explorer. There is a free lesson to try called “Terraforming Earth” to learn more the lesson components and see the layers of the earth. Merge’s ​Object Viewer can also be used for creating your own 3D content to upload onto the Merge Cube to bring into the real world. Print your own cube at and try it out! 6. ### Nearpod Nearpod offers many options for promoting student engagement through its interactive multimedia platform. My first virtual reality experiences were with Nearpod. There are thousands of ready to run lessons to choose from, including 3D objects to explore and VR field trips. Using Nearpod is great for immersing students in different learning experiences or traveling, especially during hybrid or distance learning. Also great for assessing students and creating more interactive and engaging lessons that spark curiosity! 7. ### Thyng App This app is a personal favorite for creating fun AR experiences that include animated characters, GIFS, text, and more. You can also upload your own 3D objects or videos into the Thyng App and submit your “Thyngs” to be included in their library. Thyng can also be used to scan a target image and record up to a 10-second video to go with your target image. (iOS and Android). ## Augmented and Virtual Reality are here to stay It is important to offer students multiple options that lead to more meaningful experiences that promote the development of essential skills for the future and empower them through self-driven learning. Wanting to take students on field trips or imagine what a place or a thing might look like up close is now possible with so many new technologies, and in particular, the immersive tools for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). When we offer these options, we create more interactive learning experiences for our students and add extra fun to the learning experience. We can use these immersive tools to create new learning experiences for our students and empower them to create their own, moving from consumers to creators!

It’s natural to want things to go back to normal, but the new normal, the one after the pandemic will end, must be different than the normal that was before it. We, humans, have survived many hardships. Our ability to adapt is what will help us overcome all challenges. One very clear example of how fast we can adapt lies in the way so many people have come to manage the realities of remote work. A growing number of employers and employees realize that work is an activity, not a place. Remote workers can be as productive — if not more — as those who go to the office each day. Of course, not everyone can perform their jobs from their s, but for those that can, remote work should be a sound alternative to working in an office. [Twitter was the first](https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/12/twitter-says-staff-can-continue-working-from--permanently/) to open up this path, allowing employees to work from in perpetuity; other tech companies will surely follow suit. Remote workforces could very well become part of the new normal. But there’s one thing as old as times that will remain true even then: people will always need to learn. Remote employees will still need to learn and develop professionally if they are to not only ensure business continuity but also business success. Therefore, trainers and instructional designers need to step up their game and create the best learning experiences for remote employees. Luckily, technologies like [learning management systems](/business) that make it possible to create online asynchronous training courses, have their backs. ## Exploring 5 types of asynchronous training Last time we explored the spectrum between synchronous and asynchronous training as the basis of understanding how to create a great asynchronous learning experience. Now let’s move on to what options you have as a training instructor when designing it. So let’s discover the five types of asynchronous learning and what each one brings to the table in the whole scheme of training a remote workforce: 1. ### Linear autoplay The simplest style of asynchronous is what we call linear autoplay. The easiest way to do this is to create a series of training modules in video format (of five to 10 minutes each, for example), connect them in a sequence, and let the learners go through all that video content at their own pace. Once the first module ends, the learning platform will automatically feed the next one, and so on. Of course, users should be able to hit the pause button if they need to, resume watching when they see fit, rewatch each video if they want, how many times they want — basically have some control over their learning journey. It's a very pleasant and convenient way to learn. LinkedIn Learning is probably the best example of asynchronous training in the form of linear autoplay. They have a large library of videos on a vast amount of topics and users can advance at their own pace. In a lot of cases, linear autoplay is all you need when designing asynchronous training. If the topic that has to be taught is fairly straightforward, it’s enough that each video module builds upon the previous one, and learners can establish a few rules of their own in their learning process. 2. ### Linear with hurdles Building upon the first type of asynchronous learning, how can instructional designers make sure that learners don't just go all the way to the end of a video training course without actually having learned something? Just because someone watched a video doesn’t mean they automatically absorbed all the information presented in that video, after all. An efficient trick used by many online trainers is to add a short quiz or another type of assessment after every two or three video modules. In a series of 10 or 12 modules, for example, there could be three or four such “hurdles”. Users can still decide when to learn, to pause or rewatch a video, and take as much time as necessary to go through all training content. And when they reach the end of a course they will have passed a number of these interim assessments. Each hurdle acts as both a natural pause, as we know [people can’t focus for extended periods of time](https://blog.gutenberg-technology.com/en/course-duration-and-its-impact-on-learner-attention-span), and as a way to ensure learners have mastered the main concepts of the first modules before moving on to the following, more advanced ones. If they didn’t quite understand something, they must take action if they want to progress. As an instructor, you can make those quizzes quite sophisticated, by the way. For instance, you can create question banks, and have each question bank tagged with the specific concepts that it's measuring, so that every single learner gets a different, personalized quiz. And with [the right learning platform](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation), it can be done in minutes. 3. ### Random access As we all, know, things don’t always have to happen in a particular order, and this can apply to learning, too. Sometimes people already master part of the training materials, or they simply are more interested in one module over others and they want to start with that. Let's just say that your particular course is a collection of modules that don't necessarily have preconditions. In other words, a learner doesn't necessarily have to do module A followed by module B; maybe they can do A, and then D, and then B, and then F. Each module could have a small quiz at the end, but its passing doesn’t affect the ability of the user to go to another module. The order in which learners take each module is irrelevant; what matters most is that they take them all and pass the final quiz. That’s what we call random access. This type of asynchronous training is also quite easy to design, but it's fairly uncommon because most of the time in a course there is some degree of dependency, and learners expect that; they don't have the concept of going through any training module in any order. 4. ### Static branching Having choices is important for adult learners. The more agency they have over their learning process the more involved they get. Nobody likes being told what to do, so instructional designers have this tricky task of telling people what to learn, but in a way that gives them enough control and the feeling they’re in charge. Static branching takes things a step further in asynchronous training, by offering a higher degree of agency to learners. For example, a training course could start with an introduction and then expand into three different branches, three fairly different subtopics of the course: Branch A might have three modules, Branch B might have four, while Branch C only two. The learner decides which branch to start with, which one they’ll take on next, and so on, but they can’t jump from one branch to another without finishing a quiz, nor they can finish the course without going through all modules from all branches. So things are still quite static. The instructor figures out exactly all the secrets. Everyone will ultimately take exactly the same modules. The only difference is you have given learners a kind of curated pathway and the freedom of determining which pathway they're going to take first. At the end of the day, people are still being told what to do. And this brings us to the final type of asynchronous training, which is also my favorite: 5. ### Dynamic branching Dynamic branching is the most sophisticated type of all. It makes it possible for each learner to take different modules compared to any other learner — and still finish the course. It's a more personalized, adaptive way of doing things. For example, a training course could offer learners a real option in terms of how they want to complete it: through a case study, or through a simulation. Regardless of which option a learner takes, at the end of it, the course is considered finished; they don't have to go through the other path as well. Also, learners can have their prior knowledge the topic of a course assessed. If they prove to know the material very well, then the system might show some advanced modules. But if they're not doing very well, it might show them some remedial modules that they have to take before it unlocks the advanced modules. In other words, based on how learners are doing in your course, as well as their own personal learning needs, they will have their own circuit through that particular course. Both of these examples are totally possible to design using a sophisticated learning platform. ## Stay tuned! Now that we’re clear on the differences between synchronous and asynchronous training, and the various types of asynchronous learning, we’ll move on to explore a number of specific techniques online instructors can use when designing the best asynchronous training experience for remote workers. We’ll do that next time. So keep an eye on the Business Blog!

Some of them will flourish and others need help to come out of their shells. To **encourage students to participate in online classes**, teachers need to give them opportunities and create the right environment. Here are seven activities to achieve that: 1. ### Rapid icebreakers The goal is for all students to participate, no matter how small the interaction. **Polls, Draw your mood** or **Never have I ever** can be fitted into a five-minute slot and are fun for everyone. 2. ### Interactive chats Students are encouraged to **raise their hands** whenever they have a question or **use emojis** to express their understanding of a concept. This kind of chat is easier to manage with a teaching assistant (TA), but you can do it yourself for shorter Q&A activities. 3. ### Online show and tell Students get to be the instructor and they can make the activity as interesting as they like through videos, presentations or collages. You can also **gamify the process** and make it even more interesting. 4. ### Flipped classroom Teachers find it easier to **teach through videos** or written content that students can access anytime. After going through those materials, synchronous activities require student participation, raising engagement levels. 5. ### Peer feedback In this instance, students work on an assignment (e.g. write a short essay), and another student gives feedback on their work. This enhances **critical thinking skills** and makes them come up with **great ideas for improvement**. 6. ### Online tag game This fun game is just as useful for the **virtual classroom**. Teachers give a prompt and students take turns answering that question. It works well for any subject type and it encourages students to pay attention. 7. ### Online brainstorming During **online brainstorming**, students use collaboration tools to come up with ideas, research or solve problems. You can switch between breakout rooms to make sure everyone is participating. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

November 6, 2024 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 7 minutes read Digital learning platforms have reshaped how organizations approach training and development—for employees, partners, and even customers. Whether you’re part of a small startup or a major enterprise, understanding the distinct capabilities of [Learning Management Systems (LMS)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/platform) and Learning Experience Platforms (LXP) can make or break your results. These tools are not just delivering informative content. The overarching purpose? To build a sustainable learning culture that checks all the boxes and aligns with your development goals. In this post, we’ll compare LMS and LXP platforms to better help development specialists and training coordinators make informed decisions for their teams. ## What is an LMS? First, let’s start by [defining a learning management system](/what-is-an-lms), known as an LMS. LMS platforms manage and deliver educational courses and training programs online, often in cloud-based environments. They’re centralized hubs for storing, publishing, and sharing learning content, providing structured learning paths for users. ### What’s the purpose of an LMS? By consolidating all learning activities into one platform, an LMS simplifies the process of delivering training programs. This makes it easier for organizations to maintain consistency and quality across their educational initiatives, even as those goals relate to employee development, onboarding, or compliance. ### Key features of LMS platforms Many LMS platforms have the following features in common: - Centralized management of learning content. - Structured courses and learning paths. - Assessment and reporting tools. - Scalability for [enterprise training programs](/blog/business/navigating-the-best-enterprise-lms-platforms-for-optimal-learning). A centralized approach to content delivery is especially useful for organizations that need to maintain consistency across training programs. LMS platforms like [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/why-cypher) also give managers access to practical and reporting tools, which allow admins to track learner progress and performance effectively. ### Popular corporate use cases How do LMS platforms show in real-world scenarios? Here are a few prime use cases: - New employee onboarding. - Corporate training and development. - [Compliance training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance). - Academic or “higher learning” content delivery. In the corporate world, LMS platforms ensure that all team members have necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their roles. Streamlined delivery also makes an LMS model the ideal solution for compliance training, since organizations can better meet and maintain regulatory requirements when all learners have access to the same content. ### Are there drawbacks to using an LMS instead of an LXP? There could be, but it really depends on which platform you choose for your unique goals, budget, and use case. In an LMS, the learning process can sometimes be more rigid. This means that you’ll get access to pre-set courses, modules, and completion requirements. Some LXPs, on the other hand, give a more flexible, learner-driven approach, where users can explore content at their own pace. Next, we’ll take a closer look at the LXP solution. ## What is an LXP? Learning experience platforms ([LXPs](https://www.techtarget.com/searchhrsoftware/definition/learning-experience-platform-LXP#:~:text=A%20learning%20experience%20platform%20(LXP)%20is%20an%20artificial%20intelligence%20(,learning%20management%20systems%20(LMS).)) have software that integrate course content from multiple online course options and learning systems. The focus is on enhancing employee learning through personalization, user-directed learning, and a self-guided approach to knowledge attainment. Unlike LMS platforms, LXP platforms prioritize the individual user, allowing employees to choose their own learning journeys. ### Key features of LXP platforms One major distinction is that LXP platforms deliver personalized learning experiences based on user preferences and behaviors. Notably, they also curate content from multiple sources (many powered by artificial intelligence), and offer a diverse range of materials. LXP platforms also emphasize social learning, encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing. User-generated content and peer learning are integral features, allowing users the ability to enjoy more informal learning experiences. ### Popular use cases for LXPs There are several typical use cases for LXPs, including: - [Employee upskilling and reskilling](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/employee-training). - On-demand learning in large organizations. - Personalized professional development. LXP platforms are particularly effective for employee upskilling and reskilling initiatives. They give large organizations more choices for on-demand learning, particularly in a job market and overall environment where employee and career needs change frequently. ## All-in-one CYPHER learning experience CYPHER is the only complete learning platform that combines the best features of both LMS and LXP into one powerful experience. As an LMS, CYPHER delivers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, automations to eliminate manual course management steps, enjoyable learning experiences, and workflow integrations. From the perspective of an LXP, CYPHER delivers enjoyable learning content in far less time than traditional or manual options. The platform is highly customizable, user-centric, gamified, and built around communication and personalization. ## Key differences between LMS and LXP To make an informed decision between LMS and LXP platforms, it's important to understand how the differences between platforms impact learning outcomes. Let’s take a closer look. ### Structure vs. flexibility One of the main distinctions between LMS and LXP involves the learning structure. The LMS approach works well for organizations that require standardized training programs and compliance adherence. In contrast, LXP platforms offer flexibility for learner-centric goals, allowing employees to choose their own learning paths based on unique interests and needs. ### Content creation vs. content curation LMS platforms primarily rely on internally created or licensed content, ensuring consistency and quality control. This approach is beneficial for organizations that need to deliver specific training materials aligned with their objectives. On the other hand, LXP platforms leverage multiple external sources and user-generated content. This approach leads to a wide range of learning materials from diverse providers. Curating allows employees to expand their knowledge base and find content they otherwise may not. ### Analytics and reporting Both LMS and LXP platforms provide analytics and reporting capabilities, but the focus is sometimes different. LMS platforms can provide real-time tracking for course administrators, allowing them to monitor completion rates, assessment scores, and learner progress. These insights are valuable for evaluating the effectiveness of training programs and making data-driven decisions, particularly in the context of large scale development initiatives. LXP platforms, on the other hand, emphasize learner behavior and preferences, which can be more qualitative. This approach leans into user engagement, content consumption patterns, and skill development trends. By analyzing these metrics, organizations can tailor their learning strategies to meet individual needs and improve overall learning outcomes. ## Benefits of adopting an LMS platform LMS platforms offer several advantages that make them a valuable asset for organizations focused on structured learning and compliance. ### Ensures compliance and standardization One of the primary benefits of an LMS is its ability to ensure standardized compliance across training programs. With one centralized platform for delivering and managing corporate training, organizations can easily track employee progress and ensure that all necessary certifications are present. In industries with strict regulatory requirements (like [healthcare](/blog/business/top-10-healthcare-lms-solutions-for-2025), finance, and aviation), this goal often outweighs any others. ### Structured and scalable learning programs LMS platforms excel at delivering structured and scalable learning programs, making them ideal for organizations with large workforces or complex training needs. With a platform like CYPHER, administrators can easily [design, create, and manage](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai360) extensive course catalogs. It’s also possible to define learning pathways and assign specific modules to different employee groups. Scalability ensures that all employees receive consistent training, regardless of their location (in remote or hybrid environments) or role within the organization. ### Performance tracking and reporting LMS platforms granularly track learner performance and generate detailed reports, which provide valuable insights into individual and group progress. With actionable data, administrators can identify areas for improvement and tailor training programs and learning outcomes accordingly. ## Benefits of adopting an LXP LXP platforms offer unique advantages that cater to organizations seeking to foster engagement, [personalized skills development](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development), and continuous learning. ### Bespoke learning experience Personalization is a key feature of LXP platforms, allowing employees to tailor their learning experiences based on interests, goals, and learning preferences. Thanks to personal recommendations, curated content, and adaptive learning paths, LXPs let employees take ownership of their development. More autonomy helps boost engagement, motivation, and knowledge retention, leading to more effective learning outcomes. ### Engagement through social learning LXP platforms facilitate social learning and community engagement, creating opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and peer-to-peer conversation. Employees can participate in discussion forums, join communities of practice, and engage in collaborative learning activities. ### Broad range of learning resources By curating content from multiple sources, LXP platforms provide employees with access to a diverse range of learning resources. This breadth of content exposes learners to different perspectives, industry trends, and best practices. Employees can explore a wide variety of topics, develop new skills, and stay updated on emerging trends, all within a single platform. This access to a broad range of resources enables continuous learning and professional growth. ## Which is best for your organization? Choosing between an LMS and an LXP depends on your organization's unique needs and learning objectives. ### When is an LMS the best choice? An LMS platform is the ideal pick in the following scenarios: - Need for compliance training. - Highly structured programs and courses. - Tracking certifications and performance. - Large-scale formal education or onboarding. If your organization requires standardized training, certifications, and a more efficient way to manage formal education or onboarding, an LMS packs the tools and features you need. ### When is an LXP the best choice? An LXP is ideal for organizations focused on learner engagement, continuous learning, and personalized development. If your organization wants to prioritize learner autonomy, upskilling, informal learning experiences, and collaboration, an LXP can support these goals. ### Hybrid, all-in-one approach Many organizations find value in adopting an all-in-one learning platform that combines the strengths of both LMS and LXP platforms. ## Combining your LMS and LXP Integrating LMS and LXP capabilities allows organizations to create a comprehensive and continuous learning culture. With an all-in-one solution, you’ll be able to unlock diverse learning outcomes, enhance user engagement, and maximize results for your team. There are several reasons why an all-in-one approach is the way forward. ### Balanced learning style: Formal vs. informal learning By bringing together both LMS and LXP features, organizations, businesses, and educational institutions can offer a balanced learning experience. This comprehensive approach caters to mandatory learning needs while fostering continuous professional development—a win-win when it comes to instilling learners with memorable experiences. ### Enhanced user engagement and personalization LXP capabilities add personalized learning recommendations, social learning elements, and community-driven content. Bringing the two styles together allows learners to have the structure of an LMS while enjoying the engagement, autonomy, and collaborative features of an LXP. The result? Higher learner satisfaction. ### Comprehensive data, analysis, and insights LMS capabilities provide detailed reporting on course completion, compliance, and assessments, while an LXP offers insights into learner behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. An all-in-one platform gives organizations a holistic view of learning data. At the end of the day, this means that coordinators can unlock better decision-making and more effective training strategies. ## AI (artificial intelligence) and the LMS + LXP journey Keep in mind that when you’re comparing LMS and LXP platforms, the emergence of generative AI onto the scene has completely changed the game.

Real world scenario: *A private healthcare company needs to train employees on HIPAA compliance. Because this is a regulatory standard, employees need to meet certain training requirements and experience a standardized, pre-approved curriculum that delivers the information they need to pass a certification check.* An LXP supports informal, self-directed learning, enabling employees to explore topics of interest, engage with peers, and access a wide range of resources. Real world scenario: *A tech startup wants to encourage new employees to connect with industry experts. The company also wants these employees to create new projects and designs, and team leaders encourage their members to explore and outsource innovative approaches from outside the company. The goal is to boost creativity while driving independent ideation.* The choice between LMS and LXP depends on your organization's specific needs, goals, and learning preferences. Consider whether your organization prioritizes formal or informal learning, compliance or engagement, and structured or flexible learning experiences. ## Get started today CYPHER Learning is the only all-in-one AI-powered learning platform with LMS and LXP capabilities.

Discussing best practices for learning platforms and the importance of modern learning systems in [When Did Learning Stop Being Fun](/resources/podcasts/when-did-learning-stop-being-fun), a recent podcast on BeltWay Broadcast, our CEO and Founder Graham Glass said, “I wanted to create a modern learning platform that would make learning fun again, whether it's academia or businesses, because it is an area that could really do with a bit of fun injection.” And that’s what this post is : how the CYPHER platform has injected much needed fun into learning with an approach that combines fun and a modern learning approach that aligns with learning objectives and individual learning paths, to make learning more enjoyable, but also more memorable, meaningful, and effective. However, before we get into the specifics of how the CYPHER platform makes learning fun, let’s first talk why fun and learning go well together. ## Does learning need to be fun to be effective? Should making learning fun be an objective? Ever heard someone say that learning isn’t supposed to be fun? I bet you have. A quick Google search gleans lots of differing opinions, articles, studies, and dissertations that assert the idea that trying to make learning fun fails, and asking us bewilderedly, where did we ever get the idea that learning should be fun? And in the world of work, we often eliminate fun and take it out of the equation. For example, if we're doing compliance training, it has to be serious and it cannot be fun. Some of these naysayers define fun in learning as the mistake of allowing learners pursue their own independent goals. Are these opinions wrong? Does the pursuit of fun derail effective learning? Do we get more out of learning if we’re uncomfortable, challenged, and pushed out of our comfort zone? And maybe most important, are effective learning and fun mutually exclusive objectives? Can you be pushed out of your comfort zone, face learning challenges, and achieve better learning outcomes because it was also made enjoyable? CYPHER doesn’t think effective learning and fun are mutually exclusive objectives. As Graham Glass says, "Modern LMSs are transforming the way we learn by making it more engaging, interactive, and personalized. With the help of technologies such as gamification, social learning, and AI, learners can now enjoy the learning process and achieve their learning objectives more effectively." Graham adds, “If you're an educator like myself and you want to create educational content, you wanna make it so it's really fun with surprises and delights. People take twists and turns as they go. And it's still a corporate system. CYPHER is among the best of the best modern learning platforms in terms of features. But it's all doing it in a way that's more creative and more fun, and that aligns closely to the learning objectives.” ## Six ways the CYPHER platform injects fun into learning Modern learning platforms like CYPHER are changing both the way we learn and the negative perceptions fun and learning by incorporating new technologies and features that make learning engaging, interactive, fun, and at the same time, meaningful and effective. Here are six ways that CYPHER injects fun into learning: - **Gamification** – The CYPHER platform incorporates game elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards, but it makes those learning rewards more meaningful by aligning gamification to learning objectives and a competency-based learning approach that motivates learners to actively participate in the learning process. “Gamification is not just making learning fun, it’s engaging learners and making the learning experience more memorable, meaningful, and effective.” - **Skills development** – Leveraging cutting-edge automation, CYPHER modernizes the conventional competency-based learning approach to skills development, personalizes the user experience, and provides organizations with granular visibility into learner progress, performance, and competency. According to Gartner research, 19% of skill development will be irrelevant in three years and 34% of all employees will need to learn a new-to-the-world skill in the same time frame. Because skills are continuously expiring, evolving, and emerging, organizations must constantly update, modernize and adjust skills development plans to accommodate the ever-changing needs of the workforce. CYPHER skills development empowers organizations to inspire, develop, and celebrate their learners with personalized learning, proactive development tracks, and progress mapping that is combined to create a collaborative and entertaining experience. - **Social learning** – Conventional platforms can often seem like abandoned ghost towns of learning, providing a passive learning experience without fostering communication, community, and collaboration. They often lack the feel of a real-time learning environment, which leads to a lack of engagement and motivation among users. The CYPHER platform promotes peer interaction and collaboration with their peers, fostering a supportive community learning environment, and making learning more enjoyable. This human-connection not only enhances the learning experience but also encourages learners to apply their knowledge in real-life situations. In a magic quadrant report, Gartner stated, "Social learning capabilities in a modern learning management system (LMS) can help to enhance the overall learning experience, and encourage learners to collaborate and share knowledge. CYPHER Learning's LMS is a great example of a platform that seamlessly integrates social learning features into the overall learning experience." - **A modern approach that scales** – CYPHER Learning is the only LMS company on the market that provides unprecedented flexibility, scalability, and customization to create personalized, collaborative learning experiences for each e-learning segment: academia, business, and entrepreneurs. And the modern learner wouldn’t want it any other way. Our platform is built from the ground-up with automation, competency-based learning with over sixteen assessment types, world-class gamification, personalized skills development, enterprise-strength integrations, thoughtful human-centered connections (forums, 50+ languages, Universal Translator, wikis, chat, etc.), robust analytics and reporting. "CYPHER Learning's LMS is a great example of a modern learning management system that is designed to engage learners and improve performance. With features like gamification, social learning, and personalized learning paths, it provides a complete learning experience that keeps learners motivated and engaged." - Brandon Hall, Chief Operating Officer of Brandon Hall Group - [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) helps instructors to design courses and build curriculum, and create engaging and comprehensive courses in minutes - AND in your chosen language! Accelerated curriculum and course design, course outlines, descriptions and content in over 50 languages.

Create targeted assessments to track learner progression and identify gaps, including Rubric creation and question banks. CYPHER Agent helps trainers and educators to automatically generate detailed quizzes, games, and assessments to help evaluate learner progress. Embed gamification to increase learner engagement. CYPHER Agent gamifies courses to bring development to life and inspire learners, improving information retention and understanding to deliver better outcomes. - **Competency-based learning approach** – Competency-based learning unlocks the potential for personalized learning, but on conventional platforms, it's extremely labor intensive and requires more time than most people have in their day. In addition to providing an engaging and personalized, modern learning experience supported by unique skills development features, site-wide automation, gamification, and flexible integrations, CYPHER takes a competency-based learning approach that ensures learners demonstrate mastery of a skill or concept before they move forward to the next lesson. A Gartner report said, "CYPHER Learning's LMS provides a highly effective platform for competency-based learning, offering features like personalized learning paths, adaptive assessments, and real-time feedback that enable learners to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their roles." Additionally with CYPHER Agent, instructors and administrators can save a lot of time by getting guided assistance in: - Generating competencies. Creating modules aligned to those competencies. Creating the question banks and the essays aligned automatically to those competencies even down to the question level. Embedding gamification. ## Accelerate learning–make it more meaningful and effective by injecting fun into your learning environment According to the eLearning Industry, the global LMS market is projected to reach $22.4 billion by reasing demand for personalized and adaptive learning experiences. Modern LMSs are expected to cater to the needs and preferences of individual learners, ensuring that they receive relevant content and activities that align with their learning objectives. By incorporating new technologies and features, CYPHER makes learning fun, in a way that aligns to learning goals and objectives, ensures that learners stay engaged and motivated, and results in improved learning outcomes. And as the demand for personalized and adaptive learning experiences continues to grow, we can expect the modern LMS to play an even greater role in shaping the future of education and training.

Schools don't have to invest a lot in buying smartphones and tablets; instead, they can develop a BYOD framework that allows students to use their own gadgets in class. One very important thing to consider is how to **ensure BYOD equity between students**. There is no perfect recipe for this, but here are five practical tips for limiting the technological differences in a BYOD classroom: 1. ### Know your students The **data and statistics** students that is gathered throughout the year can indicate things such as the preferred learning style of each student, their competence level and skills in different fields of study. Then you should know **what devices they can bring to school**, how performant these are or under which operating system they work, and also if there are students who need financial assistance to get a device. 2. ### Advanced planning A prerequisite for a successful BYOD program is connectivity. So program managers have to make sure the school has a **good internet connection** and the **wireless system** can handle the heavy usage. Teachers also have to decide **what kind of apps and software** will be used in class activities and to make sure whatever they choose will run on each device regardless of their make and operating system. 3. ### Supplement school technology **Technical problems with simple solutions**, like not having enough power sockets in the classroom, a backup computer or laptop, or even an external hard disk, can be a real headache if they are overlooked. So schools implementing a BYOD program should consider keeping a number of **extra devices and corresponding accessories** in their inventory, so that students and teachers can borrow if they forget to bring their own. 4. ### Use cooperative learning Smart devices can make classroom activities more dynamic. **Interactive technologies** like AR and VR, which make learning more fun and increase student engagement, can only be accessed through such devices. To further enhance cooperation in group activities, teachers can organize **students to work with just one device per group**. This makes it harder for them to use the device for other purposes than learning. 5. ### Engage parents **Don't forget parents** when implementing a BYOD program. They are the ones who buy the devices for their children, after all. Their opinion the efficiency of such a program can influence its success. Any **concerns parents may have how BYOD works** and why it's important — all the costs involved, the increased screen time for their kids, and so on — should be addressed head-on, as soon as possible.

Think of each skill as a foundational building block; proficiency in one skill is a prerequisite for advancing to the next. This process is like building a strong tower of skills. CYPHER leverages the CBL method to help ensure learners have a comprehensive understanding of each skill before moving on to subsequent ones. Whether you're an educator shaping young minds or a professional seeking advanced training, CYPHER's competency-based learning platform facilitates the mastery of concrete, real-world skills. “CYPHER Learning is not your typical “way inside the box” parochial learning tech. This is a supercharged next-generation technology platform that rocks competency and skills-based learning.” Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer of Brandon Hall Group ## Create and map competencies Automatic competency mapping CYPHER offers flexibility in competency creation. Trainers can either generate competencies directly within the platform or upload their customized list. Utilize [CYPHER Agent](/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) to seamlessly generate and align competencies with content, assessments, and reporting. Access the extensive CYPHER library, including thousands of pre-loaded competencies and job roles, or upload your own specific competencies for a personalized experience. CYPHER Agent streamlines the competency-mapping process, saving significant time compared to traditional manual efforts, allowing you to create comprehensive, personalized courses in minutes. Upload content for next-level personalization With options to have [CYPHER Agent](/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) pull exclusively from your uploaded content, you can quickly create courses tailored to the content on which you teach and train. Upload videos, PDFs, and other proprietary materials. CYPHER Agent will take care of the rest. Create a full course from the materials, complete with quizzes, gamification, competencies, and more. With the convenience of CYPHER Agent, empower your workforce or classroom with efficiently curated courses derived from your internal knowledge base and brand. Coverage analysis of competencies After tagging the content and assignments with competencies, see an overview of how well your course covers the competencies. This is a great way to identify weak spots in the course content and help to ensure each competency is being taught and assessed during the class or training. Save and share competencies as resources Crafted competencies live in the resources library, ready for reuse across multiple courses. Beyond individual classrooms, these competencies can be easily shared among teachers within a school or district or extended to trainers and teams in an expansive enterprise setting. This ensures efficient collaboration and maximizes the impact of well-designed competencies across diverse educational and training environments. ## Engage learners Customized learning paths Craft personalized learning journeys for learners, fostering continuous development and guiding their progression. In competency-based learning, where learners advance at their own speed, this feature empowers individuals to concentrate on specific areas, ensuring mastery of each competency before advancing. Adaptive learning automation Implement automation to strategically unveil or conceal content based on learners’ progress and skill level. This maximizes content relevance and boosts engagement. Define mastery rules to unlock advanced modules, ensuring a dynamic learning progression. For example, if a learner achieves more than 80% on a competency, you can unlock an advanced lesson. If they stay between 30 - 40% for more than 10 days, set up a rule to send learning recommendations. Certification and badges Automatically award certificates and badges upon the completion of competencies or courses. Certificates and badges can be customized to meet the unique needs of your learners. This recognition serves as motivation for learners while acknowledging their mastery in particular areas, enhancing their sense of achievement and progress. ## Manage and measure mastery Measure and track learner progress Personalize courses to suit each learner’s pace and mastery. CYPHER blends competency-based learning with robust analytics for [precise tracking](/tour/reporting-and-analytics). Quickly identify if learners need extra support and intervene promptly. As learners progress, gain insights into their mastery levels and grasp of concepts through the mastery grid, pinpointing their stronger and weaker areas. Elevate learning experiences with comprehensive progress monitoring and targeted support. Learner view of mastery Tracking mastery progress provides learners with a clear understanding of their proficiency levels in various competencies, helping them identify strengths and areas for improvement. Learners can strategically focus on enhancing specific competencies relevant to their desired roles, ensuring targeted skill development. As they consistently demonstrate mastery, they build a robust foundation for career advancement. This proactive approach to competency-based learning serves as a valuable tool for learners to shape their professional journey. ## Diverse assessment tools Select from our array of 16 assessment tools, including quizzes, assignments, and projects, to gauge learner competency and mastery. Align assessments with specific competencies for targeted and effective evaluation. Tailor your assessment approach to ensure relevance and precision in measuring learner proficiency.

You ensure long-lasting results by having a clear view of what you want to achieve in your classroom. The purpose of teaching goes far beyond passing on theoretical knowledge. Today, it’s more important than ever to equip students with future-ready skills they can leverage later in their personal and professional lives. Establishing SMART learning objectives is the first step you need to take on this journey. These objectives are the “why” behind your actions – the reason why you teach students and engage them in the learning process. How you answer this question is the path to creating smart objectives. In this article, we will explore the topic of SMART learning objectives in depth. From educational institutions to multinational organizations and training professionals, everyone seems to insist on their importance. We will walk you through the definition of these objectives, their advantages, and how to set and track them within a [learning management system (LMS](/academia)). ## What are SMART learning objectives? SMART learning objectives refer to intended learning outcomes that follow a certain structure. SMART is an acronym for: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound. These are the five features that characterize a SMART objective. Their purpose is to shape a solid framework that helps you establish and meet realistic goals. Let’s dig deeper into the five traits that shape SMART learning objectives: - **Specific**: refers to how concrete your goals are; the more specific, the better. For example, helping students achieve good grades is not specific. The definition of good grades is vague and subjective. Helping all the students in your class get Bs and above on the final test is a specific goal; - **Measurable**: you can’t know if you’ve reached your destination if you don’t have a clear location. As a teacher, you have different tools and methods for measuring student success. Grades, progress in classes and feedback forms are just two examples; - **Achievable**: it’s important to have a realistic approach while setting smart learning objectives. Expecting all the students in your class to get straight As is more than likely an unattainable goal. A SMART objective can be accomplished in normal circumstances when it comes to skills, resources and teaching context; - **Relevant**: naturally, you want your students to learn something useful from your courses. Hence, you must set relevant goals so students can learn the right things at the right time and later apply the knowledge in real-life situations; - **Time-bound**: as a teacher, you are already used to deadlines. The same applies to your students’ goals. To motivate students and ensure a steady pace for the whole learning process, the goals you establish have to be time-bound. However, when it comes to personalized learning, the time it takes to master a skill can also be different for each student. ## Examples of SMART learning objectives There are a few [steps to take to write SMART learning objectives](https://uncw.edu/career/documents/writingsmartlearningobjectives.pdf) and they come down to answering a few simple questions: - What do you want your students to accomplish? - What steps do they have to take to accomplish the learning goal (e.g. complete a module within the LMS, submit a written assignment, take a quiz, etc.)? - How are you going to measure the results (grades, pass/failed status, number of points, etc.) Writing effective learning objectives is easy once you know what a SMART objective looks like. Therefore, the fastest way is to take a look at SMART learning objectives examples for teachers and students: - By June 2022, I will be able to easily set smart objectives for my lessons and each lesson will have at least three objectives I will also track in my LMS; - By April 10th, my students complete two quizzes in the LMS and hand in one written assignment; - By April 15th, I will grade the written assignments and run a quiz results report from the LMS to have a clear overview of my students’ performance; - I will create and upload two more classes on different topics in the learning platform this semester; - By the end of the semester, my students will achieve the minimum mastery level required for each competency. Goals such as the above are measurable, relevant to your activity, and subject to a deadline. They are SMART goals you and your students can achieve by establishing and sticking to a plan. These learning objectives will help you make your lessons more engaging as students will have a clearer understanding of where they are and where they need to be. You’ll also be able to present them for each class and lesson so students will know what they’re working towards. Finally, SMART goals will help you continuously optimize and improve your teaching and assessment. Let’s move forward and see how you can configure them in an LMS. ## Use SMART learning objectives in an LMS through competency-based learning Competency-based learning is one of the most valuable [LMS features](/academia/features). This type of learning requires learners to demonstrate concrete and measurable skills. In an LMS, teachers can assign certain competencies to each class. Those competencies are the skills students must prove they’ve acquired in order to complete a class or even a learning path. To demonstrate mastery, students have to pass certain tests, complete assignments and go through their lessons. Depending on the settings that you choose, they cannot advance from one lesson or section to the next until they achieve skill mastery. [Competency-based learning](/resources/brochures/academia/competency-based-learning) ensures a gradual, structured advancement through the class and constantly helps you track student understanding. This is also where each student can work on a certain competency at their own pace, so maybe it will take them a few more days to master a certain skill, but you’ll know that they’ve achieved mastery and are not advancing to the next lesson with an incomplete understanding of the previous one. ## Use competency-based learning features to add SMART learning objectives All of the above might seem complicated, but they aren’t. On the contrary, the whole process is automated. The LMS allows students to advance through a class as they achieve mastery and tracks their progress. Here are the main steps you need to take to create a SMART goal in an LMS with the help of competency-based learning features: ### 1. Upload or create competencies related to your SMART learning objectives You can upload or build different competencies in the LMS and add more than one set of competencies to a class. Some LMSs already offer a set of built-in curriculum standards such as US Common Core Standards. *Create or upload SMART learning objectives.* ### 2. Tag lessons and assignments with competencies After the competencies are uploaded, you have to tag each lesson or section with the skills it will teach and each assignment with those it will assess. *Tag lessons and assignments with related competencies.* ### 3. Automate the competency-tracking process As students complete their classes and related assignments, there are certain actions you can automate from the LMS to support them in achieving mastery. For example, if a student is stuck between a 40 and 50% competency level, you can set up a rule to automatically send them a notification with additional resources. Plus, you can also show them an additional assignment that is easier to achieve so scaffolding is in a way also automated. This will help them improve their skills, reach mastery, and therefore meet their SMART goals. *Adding rules to competency-based learning allows teachers to automate the learning objective tracking process.* Read more: [Why each student needs a personalized learning path](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/why-each-student-needs-a-personalized-learning-path/) ### 4. Track student progress For each competency you add to a lesson, the platform can show you an overview of how each student is doing within an intuitive mastery grid. The achievement level can be expressed in percentages next to each person’s name. So you will easily see where each student struggles and will be able to step in and help. *See how students are doing on each learning objective.* ### 5. Mastery coverage You can also see how well your content covers the assigned competencies, identify and fix issues by improving the assessment or the lesson’s content to fill in possible gaps. *See how well your class covers the learning objectives.* Read more: [The 6 principles of mastery-based learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/the-6-principles-of-mastery-based-learning/) ## SMART learning goals: an LMS example The competencies you create in an LMS are directly correlated with your SMART learning objectives. So you can easily monitor their progress in the LMS to make sure everyone in your class accomplishes their class-related goals. ### The lessons and competencies Here is an example of smart learning objectives transposed in an LMS through competency-based learning features. Let’s imagine you’re a university teacher who teaches Spanish for international students. Your purpose is to help students successfully pass their final Spanish exam. So this is your smart, measurable goal. To achieve it, you add a set of competencies in your LMS to each grammar lesson students have to complete in the platform: - A lesson that focuses on nouns: correctly identifying and using definite articles and genders; - A lesson that focuses on the Present Tense: recognizing and using the correct verb terminations for regular verbs; - A lesson that focuses on the verb “to be” in Spanish: making the difference between the verbs “ser” and “estar” and being able to use them in appropriate contexts. All these competencies should be accompanied by quizzes or written assignments that give students the chance to prove their mastery and a deadline for each lesson and assignment. ### The goal tracking process After tagging the lessons and assessments in the LMS with the relevant competencies, the goal tracking process will be easy to understand if each lesson meets its intended learning outcomes. For example, a lesson that offers a comprehensive overview of Spanish articles but lacks any assignment at the end is incomplete. Hence, to improve it and make it blend in with your SMART approach, you need to add a quiz at the end. After optimizing your lessons so they ensure a solid mastery level, the student evaluation part begins. This is done automatically as learners go through your lessons and complete each assignment. By tracking students’ mastery levels, you can easily spot those who face difficulties. LMSs display student progress and completed objectives at-a-glance (through graphs, tables, or charts). This information will enable you to intervene by [helping slow-working students who need more support](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/how-to-manage-slow-working-students-in-your-classroom/). When all the students in your class achieve the minimum mastery level in the LMS, their SMART goal is accomplished as they are ready to pass their final exam successfully. Furthermore, you can even convert the score or level students achieved in the LMS into a grade. Hence, consider the exam completed based on this correspondence without having students take a written exam. ## The bottom line SMART learning objectives are highly efficient for any type of class. These features make it easy to apply a step-by-step plan to achieve them and stick to it. With an LMS, this path is already configured thanks to competency-based learning features. Teachers can leverage these features to easily establish and track SMART goals and ensure all their students acquire the minimum level of mastery of particular skills.

In order to make the **right decisions** what to do regarding employee engagement, it’s crucial for **HR professionals** to be aware that engagement comes on a spectrum: - **Engaged employees** — are those who genuinely love what they do. - **Not engaged employees** — are those who feel all right what they do but stick to the requirements and don’t have any enthusiasm for their projects. - **Disengaged employees** — they are more or less disgruntled, do not believe in the company’s mission and values Engaged employees will stay longer, work better and promote a positive attitude and culture. There are several factors that can have a positive impact on employee engagement: 1. ### A great organizational infrastructure A good organizational infrastructure is the first step in ensuring people will feel engaged. They should have the right tools to work with and clear procedures. It’s important to constantly update the **business processes** and to keep an eye on **technological advancements** in order to provide the best tools for **increased efficiency**. 2. ### A healthy onboarding process Engagement starts with the **onboarding process**. There is no better time to get people really pumped up the company than on induction day. It’s when **expectations are set** and when people are most open to information. 3. ### A good work-life balance It’s important to keep this aspect in focus since the younger demographic values their **time and positive feelings** towards the company. Some people will appreciate shorter workdays, extra vacation time or the possibility to work remotely. Others will enjoy team-buildings, outdoor activities, various clubs or personal development workshops. 4. ### A great recognition system All employees enjoy having their **achievements recognized**. While formal recognition is still widely preferred, it’s also the small **encouragements and verbal acknowledgments** from peers and superiors that have a tremendous positive impact on engagement.

Because corporate employee training has the potential to increase productivity, improve team culture, and create new career opportunities, it has a tangible impact on people’s lives. In fact, [58% of employees say professional development](https://www.zippia.com/employer/employee-training-development-statistics/#:~:text=58%25%20of%20employees%20say%20professional,or%20retrain%20to%20stay%20employable.) contributes to their overall job satisfaction. Although investing in a training program requires money and resources, the payout is significant on a micro and macro level. When companies invest in corporate training, they can attract and retain top talent, create growth-driven cultures, and stay competitive through innovation. If you’re ready to improve your organization’s corporate training strategy, let us show you why a robust learning and development program is the missing piece of the puzzle. ## What is corporate learning? At its core, corporate learning is an initiative that seeks to teach, train, or equip an organization’s employees with valuable knowledge required for job performance. According to Indeed, [corporate learning is](https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/what-is-corporate-learning): “...a systematic approach to educating employees. Businesses and organizations use corporate learning programs to introduce new ideas to employees and explore new solutions. Corporate learning includes both the training of employees and a company-wide approach to gathering knowledge for the purposes of improvement.” As this definition highlights, a corporate learning plan is both individual and organizational. Individual employees can learn valuable skills that will serve them well after leaving the organization. But the organization as a whole also benefits from hiring well-trained workers who actively contribute to the broader team environment. ## Benefits of corporate learning—how it influences everyone From the top down, a company’s corporate training strategy impacts everyone. Learning and development leaders benefit from modern corporate training programs that go beyond the basics by [catering to the way real people learn](/why-cypher) and grow. From identifying growth gaps to incentivizing developmental milestones, let’s take a closer look at some of the ways corporate learning benefits the entire business ecosystem. ### Identify areas for growth and development Training helps leaders easily and quickly identify skill gaps or red flags that would eventually impact performance. As team members go through modules, areas for improvement within the organization become more apparent. By evaluating the needs of each employee, companies are better equipped to design targeted training programs that enhance specific skills and boost core knowledge. As a result, employees start to become more productive in their roles while developing skills that align with where the company wants to go and grow. ### Improve employee engagement and participation When employees feel they’re continuously learning, there’s a higher chance they’ll stay more engaged and committed to a single organization or business unit. Corporate learning contributes to a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction because employees are often exchanging work time for new knowledge and skill sets. Such personal growth results in a more positive impact on job performance, satisfaction, corporate loyalty, and even personal relationships. ### Hold everyone accountable to a higher learning standard With corporate learning, teams also benefit from a more steady culture of accountability. When employees feel (and know) that their own personal development is crucial to where the organization is headed, stronger job dedication takes root. A higher level of motivation also promotes a corporate culture of continuous improvement. If you want to build a company of high-performers who get the job done, expect to encourage better business (and revenue) outcomes along the way. ### Incentivize growth with professional programs Incentivizing happens when leadership inspires employees to take on new challenges as a way to earn or pursue higher opportunities. Companies can encourage employees to step out of their comfort zone, learn new skills, or take the lead on challenging projects that push their professional capabilities. If an employee steps up and conquers new milestones, consider rewarding that growth and responsibility. While not every training program can or should offer financial compensation as a perk, think other ways to incorporate tangible recognition (like shout-outs or extra PTO) into your corporate training goals. ### Build community with learning pathways When employees experience training as part of the collective team, they often enjoy a stronger, more connected sense of community within the organization. To ensure these relational benefits become even stronger, tailor learning pathways to the needs and interests of different employee groups based on things like interest, role assignment, or common aspirations. This tactic inspires more collaboration and knowledge-sharing and leads to a sense of camaraderie. With the right platform to speak up, employees get a chance to share their own unique learning experiences, personal knowledge, and ideas. ## Skills gaps among employees—responding respectfully As leaders get to know their teams through training, it might become clear that certain employees bring specific skills or pre-existing knowledge to the table. But what happens when teams recognize that some valuable skills are missing among the group? In learning and development, this is often referred to as a “skills gap.” A [professional skills gap describes the disparity](https://www.bamboohr.com/resources/hr-glossary/skills-gap#:~:text=What%20Is%20the%20Skills%20Gap,employers%20to%20fill%20open%20positions.) between the skills an employer expects their employees to have and the actual skills employees possess. This mismatch makes it challenging for employers to fill open positions, according to BambooHR. There are a few different ways that skill gaps show up in the corporate context. - **Staff to staff:**Team Member A has desirable skills, knowledge, or experience that Team Member B lacks. Training among individual team members can help resolve the disparity. [Learning goals, groups, and paths](/tour/skills-development) can provide additional insights. - **Employer to employee:** A corporate employer has skills standards for a given position, and the new hire lacks those skills. Corporate training may be needed to ensure that everyone on a [team understands expectations](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching) and is up to speed on performance. ## How to identify professionals’ skills gaps in corporate training Identifying skills gaps prior to training doesn’t have to be a matter of guesswork. Tools like initial interviews, employee assessments, and [strategic onboarding initiatives](/blog/business/new-employee-onboarding-software-benefits-features-and-tips) make the process more beneficial (and courteous) for everyone. ### Initial interview process Conducting thorough interviews with new employees is the first step. During these scheduled times, ask open-ended questions that allow each candidate to honestly identify their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, if a potential new hire mentions they are not very comfortable working remotely or serving on a hybrid team, you might explore training opportunities to sharpen their remote workplace skills. ### Active assessments Assessments such as personality tests and exams that measure personal strengths are important for initial identification. These tools allow HR team leaders to build comprehensive hiring profiles based on objective third-party metrics. By securing an objective set of personality and skills results, you’ll be able to quickly spot opportunities for additional training or support. Plus, when you know how team members learn best according to their personality type, you can adapt flexible training programs to specific learning styles. **Real-world application:** CYPHER identifies skills gaps with assessments and measures progress and performance with real-time insightful analytics. Trainers and leaders quickly see where individuals and teams stand across an entire organization. ### Onboarding process During the [onboarding process](/solutions/onboarding), new employees are often overwhelmed with information. By going above and beyond to provide transparent access to learning modules, managers and leaders can identify areas of concern early—while making it easier for new employees to get up to speed. [Mentors or new employee “coaches”](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching) can also be helpful during onboarding, as they may be able to closely monitor training and spot notable performance gaps. If your organization relies on mentorship as a training protocol, always equip mentors with the right tools and strategies to ensure peer-to-peer training is as effective as possible. ## Close the gaps with corporate learning programs Once you identify workforce skills gaps, addressing them in a timely manner is crucial. Well-designed corporate learning programs (including sessions, workshops, and digital courses), effectively help employees level up in certain areas. To ensure these programs are as personable and human-centric as possible, leverage feedback, interviews, and [onboarding](/solutions/onboarding) surveys to guarantee that expectations are in line with reality. Customization, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to learning, is ideal for eliminating skills gaps and giving every individual the tools they need to succeed. ## Suitable learning strategies for all levels Within corporate training environments, innovation is crucial. Today’s digitally minded learners expect more than a slide deck and lackluster presentation. **A multi-channel, forward-thinking approach is your best bet for creating corporate training initiatives that are memorable, engaging, and relatable.** ### Blended learning options A hybrid or blended learning format combines traditional classroom training with virtual components, enabling learners to access training from anywhere. Instructors can also leverage blended learning to change the experience – from coaching, presentations, quizzes, forums, and more. ### Online learning platforms (LMS) Online learning platforms are also known as Learning Management Systems (LMS). These platforms offer a centralized learning solution, especially for fully remote learners. With an LMS like CYPHER, corporate training managers can ace multiple processes: [course design](/tour/content-development-and-delivery), delivery, management, [assessment](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation), and even [certification](/solutions/certifications). Instructors are also able to leverage various LMS features, such as gamification, social learning, and personalized learning paths, to keep learners motivated and engaged. Tracking employee progress can help employers see the impact of corporate learning. A modern and capable LMS becomes one of the most important tools in the corporate trainer’s tech stack if they want to level up their organizations. ## Design your corporate training programs easily Enterprise teams have unique motivations, budgets, and timelines for implementing corporate training programs. Regardless, learning and development should contribute to a corporation’s results—not take away from it with tedious implementation. With CYPHER, [course creation for employee learning](/solutions/employee-training) is quick and simple - and can be done in minutes. A few clicks lead to the creation of all different types of course styles. Consider the ways in which different methods (instructor-led, self-paced, blended, or micro learning) suit your needs and learning style. Plus, the various options can then be customized to meet the needs of specific learners. ### Support multiple career pathways The ability to personalize content is helpful for supporting employees at all levels of skill development and growth. Plus, training that supports multiple learning pathways has tangible impacts on the business as a whole. When more employees feel supported, equipped, and engaged, retention and career progression become more predictable. ### Use gamification for better engagement Learning should feel fun and competitive to ensure that the material is memorable. With CYPHER’s gamification abilities, it’s easy to create engaging content. CYPHER Agent can automatically create games mapped to specific competencies. Learners can earn points and badges for completing tasks while learning valuable skills. Gamified elements and activities boost learner outcomes and help employees retain more valuable information. ### Evaluate learner performance and competencies It’s easy to mark a course as “complete” without ever truly absorbing the information. How can enterprise organizations avoid this? By clearly [assessing performance](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation) and having access to important evaluation metrics in real time. It’s vital that all business leaders and learning and development professionals have a way to accurately measure training ROI. CYPHER has been recognized as one of the [top orate employee training. ## Access revolutionary corporate training methods If you want to create a win-win scenario for employees and your organization, it’s time to look at training as a way to drive business success.

Being a good communicator helps a lot in any job. It also helps a lot in life. Yet reality shows that the majority of us are not naturally great at it – most tv series and motion pictures count on human inability to express thoughts and feelings correctly in the construction of their scripts. For everybody not in show business, the communication gaps and misunderstandings are sources of grief and frustration. General guidelines how to be assertive, how to elaborate your messages, and how to mind the feedback you receive are everywhere. When it comes to hard conversations, however, practical information gets scarce. Leaders in the modern corporate world face the challenge of carrying out almost impossible discussions with peers, clients, bank managers, and team members. Situations change, demands rise, and sending memos is a thing of the past. ## The 7 principles of fierce conversations In her book "Fierce conversations,” Susan Scott identifies seven principles that serve, as she states in the introductory chapter, as a "guide to tackling your toughest challenges and enriching relationships with everyone important to your success and happiness through principles, tools, and assignments designed to direct you through your first fierce conversations with yourself on to the most challenging and important conversations facing you." 1. ### Master the courage to interrogate reality At first glance, it seems like a nonsensical thing to do. Reality just is, it needn't be interrogated. We live in the present and the spread of the internet has rendered all of us more informed than ever before. Right? Well, not so much. We connect with the people who are similar to us, we follow blogs and channels that interest us and say what we want to hear. Most people live in their own bubble and are not really aware of when and how things change. Or how other people change, for that matter. Getting out of the comfort zone and probing how things truly stand is highly necessary. 2. ### Come out from behind yourself, into the conversation, and make it real Susan Scott says that it is not the genuine conversations we should dread but the unreal ones – they may not be uncomfortable while they are happening but in the long run, they are the ones that are detrimental. Talking just for the sake of talking does not solve anything and in the end, proves to run rather expensive both for the individual and for the organization. When it’s paramount for things or people to change in order to get out of a situation or to simply make some progress, a real conversation is key. It will lead to transformation before it is even over. 3. ### Be here, prepared to be nowhere else A difficult conversation requires a true presence. There is a lot of value placed these days on a thing called "mindfulness.” It’s the art (or skill) of being in the moment and dealing with things as they happen instead of wondering what could have gone differently in the past or projecting what the future will look like. It’s not guaranteed that an organization or an individual will change because of one discussion, but it’s not impossible either. A hard talk has to be planned and carried out with the utmost attention and participation. Otherwise, it won’t count. 4. ### Tackle your toughest challenge today We all tend to avoid or postpone things that make us uncomfortable. While that is natural, it is also counterproductive because we end up carrying around a burden or worry a lot longer than it would be necessary. Once the problem is named it is almost solved. Figuring out what the greatest issue is and dealing with it on the spot instead of floating it to undefinable times will ensure a much smoother path. Getting rid of the daunting agenda and staying current with those who are really important will bring a better vibe and a greater chance of success. 5. ### Obey your instincts Our instincts are responsible for our survival and evolution. They come from the oldest part of our brain and to this day are responsible for all decision making. The limbic brain, however, does not have the capacity for language, so most of the time when we do or don’t do something we can’t really explain our reasons and resort to "it’s just a gut feeling.” In difficult conversations, it's important to not only trust but actually go with instincts. It’s yet another way of being present, aware, and (though it doesn’t seem like for lack of worded arguments) in control. 6. ### Take responsibility for your emotional wake This principle is my personal favorite because, as a trainer, I have often had to deliver feedback that was not necessarily great. For a long time, the company requirement was that I do so in a "sandwich manner" – say something positive, give the 'constructive' criticism, and end with something even more positive. There was a great fear of hurting feelings or giving wrong impressions, but that’s precisely what happened. A genuine message has to be delivered without this kind of negative load. One of the most powerful insights of this book is that the conversation is not the relationship; the conversation is the relationship. 7. ### Let silence do the heavy lifting When there is too much talk in a conversation, ideas are very likely to be lost between words. Just as motivational speakers know that pauses are needed in order for things to sink in and reach the cords they were meant to, fierce conversations need silence as well. Insight occurs in the spaces between the words being spoken. Memorable talks have breathing time and allow for inner dialogue. That’s where a-ha moments happen and how true change occurs. ## Conclusion I find there is no better conclusion to this model than the one of the author’s herself: *“We must answer the big questions in our organizations. What are the questions that need posing? Philosophers, theologians, scientists, and great teachers have debated this for ages:* - What is real? - What is honest? - What is quality? - What has value? *We affect change by engaging in robust conversations with ourselves, our colleagues, our customers, our family, the world. Whether you are governing a country, running an organization, or participating in a committed personal relationship, your ability to effect change will increase as you become more responsive to your world and to the individuals who are central to your happiness and success."* Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [Business blog](/blog/business) [L&D leaders](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/ld-leaders) --- ## Half of younger workers would quit their jobs because of a lack of L&D **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/half-of-younger-workers-would-quit-their-jobs-because-of-a-lack-of-ld **Last Modified:** 2024-07-30 false [News blog](/blog/news) [News](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/news) # Half of younger workers would quit their jobs because of a lack of L&D May 24, 2024 1 minute read Majority of UK employees say more could be done to help career progression, as CYPHER Learning study reveals impact of Covid on young people’s development.

I’m speaking for myself and maybe you can resonate with my dislike for grading. Don’t get me wrong, I am eager to find out how my students did on an assignment. Nevertheless, for the past 15 years, I’ve been trying to find methods to make my life easier in terms of grading. Four years ago, I discovered [CYPHER Learning](/academia) and since then I’ve been on a learning journey to discover how to make the most of the LMS gradebook feature. Now I can say I benefit from all its features and it has made a real difference. Grading is [easy, objective, and time-efficient](/blog/k-20/is-an-lms-the-best-grading-companion-for-teachers) and I can have a complete overview of my students’ progress. The gradebook makes it easy for teachers to create assignments and analyze results. It also offers an overview of students’ results on the assignments within a class, as well as many other options that we will discuss in this article. ## What are the benefits of using the LMS gradebook? The LMS gradebook has many wonderful and useful features to make grading easier, consistent, and straightforward. For teachers, there are three key benefits: ### Keep everything in one location The assignments submitted by your students are stored in one place. You can also add comments as feedback for students and don’t have to leave the gradebook page to have all the information you need. ### Grades can be automatically calculated When the assignment is a quiz, you can set the submissions to be graded automatically. You just have to pay attention to what answers you select as being correct and the LMS does all the grading for you. You can even leave a few questions to be manually revised. Grading is done automatically, and the scores will appear in the gradebook immediately. ### Flexibility in grading options An LMS can have multiple types of assignments, from quizzes to essays, from group projects to online debates, or even create an offline assignment such as reading a book. You can set the game grade for the entire class, add a grade for offline tasks, add exceptions for missing, incomplete, absent, or excused assignments, and create rubrics to grade faster and have a complete overview of the entire activity of your students. ## How to make the most out of the LMS gradebook So we’ve covered why using the LMS gradebook saves time and helps teachers organize their students’ submissions and grades. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Here are some tips to help you make the most out of it: ### 1. Learn how to properly configure the gradebook The default display can work great for many of you. However, if you want something displayed differently, you can just change it. For example, select options such as what combination of points, percent, and grade to be displayed in each gradebook cell. Maybe you also need to show the student ID under their name or default to full window mode. You can rearrange the gradebook by using sorting options and by selecting assignment category filters by Name, Descending due, Ascending due, or by the [assignment category](/blog/k-20/9-types-of-assignments) such as work, participation, or quiz. Learning how to configure the gradebook is all choosing what it looks like according to your needs and preferences. ### 2. Work with assignment labels Labels offer a clearer understanding of student participation and progress. For instance, you can use the Excused, Missing, Absent and Incomplete labels for each assignment. A great tip is to use shortcuts for these labels to make working with the gradebook easier:“+” Excused“-” Missing“*” Absent “/” Incomplete ### 3. Grade faster without leaving the gradebook When you start grading you can begin from your to-do list. or go to each assignment page and grade from there. However, to make grading easier, I like to use the main gradebook in full window mode. Each assignment is listed at the top of the gradebook, with an icon to indicate its type, a link to the assignment, and the number of points associated with the assignment. To grade each assignment, click on its cell and either enter the grade. If you are using grade maps, you only need to select one grade from the given options. The final grade is calculated by taking into consideration all the graded assignments of a student. ### 4. Track progress offline and attendance assignments We all know how confusing it can get when students get their results from a mix of online and offline assignments. The online gradebook is also very useful for tracking offline assignments like paper-based tests, attendance, or reading a book. All you have to do is create an attendance or offline assignment and then grade it as you would any other online assignment. In this way, you’ll avoid collecting and calculating students’ final scores from two different sources. ### 5. Add comments to grades You can give students useful feedback or instructions without ever leaving the gradebook page. To do this, I just have to double-click on a cell, and there will be a pop-up in which I can leave a written comment, add images, or even audio/video feedback. Adding comments to submissions helps students improve their work and understand why they have received a particular grade. ### 6. View student submissions from the gradebook Leaving the gradebook and returning to it to grade assignments can be time consuming. That’s why I like to view student submissions from the gradebook if I need to re-check something. You have the option to hover over a grade cell and open the student submission in another page. Then, I like to just click through all the student submissions from there, especially if I’m batch grading. You can also see that I can add more comments here and they will show on the main gradebook display. ### 7. Use rubrics to grade assignments Most platforms, like the CYPHER Learning platform have a [rubrics feature](/blog/k-20/the-role-of-rubrics-in-performance-based-education) that allows teachers to create, edit, save and reuse rubrics for a straightforward grading process. Rubrics are integrated within the assignment submission page. You can create a new rubric for each assignment or reuse the ones in your Resources library if you have saved them previously. When clicking the cell for an assignment with a rubric, a pop-up will open where you can select the points for each criterion. This way, your grading becomes objective and consistent when using the same rubric for similar tasks. ### 8. Use competency-based learning You can track your students’ understanding of the class material through [competency-based learning](/blog/k-20/competency-based-education). How this works is that competencies can be added to content pages and assignments, so you’ll keep track of how well students are doing on each individual competency. Most importantly, this means that you can associate a rubric with a grading scale and then also add competencies to the rubric. For example: Assignment: Climate changeCompetency: Grade 5 Geography: Environmental protectionRubric criteria: Use of geography termsGrading scale (points): pass - 28, fair -42, good - 56, excellent - 70 In this way, competencies are associated with rubrics, giving you a clearer picture of your students’ progress, which also makes it very easy to explain what they should do to improve or why they have received a certain score. ### 9. Use gradebook analytics The gradebook has pop-up analytics for the whole class, for individual assignments, or for individual students. This makes it easy for you to quickly [assess student performance](/blog/k-20/5-must-have-lms-reports-for-schools) and shows much more than just the overall class grade. You get an overview of the analytics and grade distribution of all the assignments, as well as the percentage of assignments that have not yet been graded. The overall analytics pop-up shows the grade distribution chart for the graded assignments. However, if you need more information, each assignment also has its own analytics (min, max and average grade), which is especially helpful for important exams or tests. I like this part the most because it offers a visual representation and that helps me know when to intervene and how to adjust future assignments based on my students’ progress. For example, if most of the class has done well on an assignment, I know that I can give them more challenging ones in the future. I can also pinpoint exactly which students need my help the most, so I’ll make sure to leave detailed comments for them and send them extra resources. ## The CYPHER gradebook: the best tool for teachers LMSs offer teachers a quick and easy way to grade assignments. These systems eliminate time-consuming and tedious paper grading tasks. This allows you to quickly understand your students’ competency level. The CYPHER Learning platform has a powerful gradebook tool with many options that truly make my life easier. I used to dread grading, but now I can see the good side of it, especially since results are instantly delivered to students, together with my feedback.

By equipping staff with tools to recognize biases, understand systemic barriers, and engage in inclusive practices, DEI programs help create environments where innovation, collaboration, and belonging thrive. Not only that, but one recent study shows that companies identified as more diverse and inclusive are [35% more likely to outperform](https://www.instride.com/insights/workplace-diversity-and-inclusion-statistics/) corporate competitors. In this post, we'll explain what DEI training is, why it’s essential for fostering an inclusive work environment, and how to implement effective DEI programs that benefit your organization. ## What you should know - Effective DEI training fosters an inclusive workplace by addressing biases, promoting cultural competence, and [enhancing employee engagement](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). - **A variety of DEI training programs exist**, including unconscious bias, cultural sensitivity, and inclusive management training, tailored to meet specific organizational needs. - **Measuring the impact of DEI training** through regular assessments and feedback is essential for ensuring alignment with organizational goals and fostering sustained change. ## Understanding DEI training for teams DEI aims to create a workplace where all employees–regardless of their background–feel respected and valued.  More and more organizations are realizing that DEI training is a vital step toward building an inclusive workplace culture. When done well, this training promotes equity and inclusion throughout daily operations, ensuring that diverse voices are not only heard but actually valued. Effective DEI training uncovers hidden biases, addresses unfair practices, and fosters a positive workplace culture. Participating in these training sessions helps employees understand the challenges faced by marginalized groups in a way that increases empathy and promotes inclusivity. ## Types of DEI training programs A workplace diversity training program should be designed to meet the unique needs of each organization. Most cover key topics like unconscious bias, microaggressions, inclusion, and belonging—helping employees understand how these issues show up in the workplace and in actual conversations. Introductory sessions often focus on company values and the basics of diversity, while more advanced programs are geared toward executives, HR leaders, and DEI professionals looking to go deeper. Training can be delivered in person, online, or onsite, making it accessible no matter where your team works. Many also offer certificates upon completion (which can be a valuable boost to an employee’s professional credentials). ### Unconscious bias training Unconscious bias training helps employees recognize the hidden assumptions that can influence their decisions and interactions—often without them realizing it. For example, it might help a hiring manager spot patterns in how they evaluate resumes based on names or backgrounds. By building awareness and encouraging inclusive habits, this training creates a workplace where everyone feels respected and able to show up as their full selves. ### Cultural sensitivity training Cultural sensitivity training helps employees better understand and respect different backgrounds, beliefs, and customs—leading to stronger cross-cultural communication. It promotes acceptance across religions and cultures, making it especially valuable for organizations that want to foster inclusivity and celebrate diversity in meaningful ways. ### Inclusive management training Inclusive management training helps leaders recognize and address bias while creating a more supportive, equitable team environment. It’s especially valuable for front-line managers, giving them practical tools to lead with empathy and support company-wide DEI efforts. ## Benefits of diversity training DEI training has the power to shape more than just workplace culture—it can boost your company’s reputation, employee morale, and even your bottom line. In fact, [80% of workers](https://builtin.com/diversity-inclusion/diversity-in-the-workplace-statistics) say they want to work for a company that values diversity and inclusion. When employees feel a genuine sense of belonging, they’re more satisfied, motivated, and likely to stick around. There’s a business case, too: Companies with high employee engagement—often fueled by strong DEI efforts—can see up to [21% higher profitability](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/236927/employee-engagement-drives-growth.aspx). ### Improved innovation and creativity A diverse workforce enhances collaboration among coworkers and leads to breakthrough ideas and solutions. Innovation thrives where diverse employees’ viewpoints challenge conventional thinking, making DEI training essential for fostering increased creativity and diverse backgrounds. ### Better decision making Diverse teams are more likely to consider a broader range of viewpoints, leading to innovative and effective solutions. This diversity of thought ensures better decision-making across the organization, highlighting a key benefit of DEI training and diverse representation. A diverse team enhances collaboration and creativity. ## How to build a successful DEI program Developing a successful diversity training program requires a concerted and comprehensive strategy. A collaborative and employee-led approach is often the most impactful. Here are a few tips for getting started: ### Conduct a diversity audit A diversity audit assesses current diversity levels and identifies areas for improvement in inclusion and representation. Focus groups, surveys, and diversity scorecards provide comprehensive data to establish clear DEI goals and direct improvement efforts. ### Tailor training to organizational needs Collecting employee feedback is vital for identifying specific training needs and ensuring relevance. Custom training should reflect the unique challenges and opportunities of different departments, with employees contributing their expertise to create effective DEI courses. ### Monitor continuous feedback Feedback is essential in DEI training to improve the program and address sensitive issues effectively. Discussion forums and opportunities for questions can facilitate ongoing evaluation and improvement, ensuring DEI training remains inclusive and accessible. ## Integrating DEI training into company culture Making DEI training part of your company culture starts with steady leadership support and a real effort to weave these values into everyday business decisions. When companies truly prioritize diversity and inclusion, they don’t just attract great talent—they create a work environment where people feel respected and motivated to do their best. That means looking at every policy and practice through a DEI lens, so employees at all levels feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. ### Onboarding and ongoing initiatives Successful DEI integration starts during onboarding and continues throughout the employee’s journey. Incorporating DEI training during onboarding establishes a foundational understanding for new employees and promotes a culture of diversity from the start. Clear communication strategies promote understanding of diversity initiatives among all employees. ### Employee involvement and collaboration Employees can enhance DEI training by contributing their personal experiences and insights, making the training more relevant and impactful. Creating opportunities for employees to share their stories fosters inclusivity and leads to more effective outcomes. ### Leveraging technology for DEI training Utilizing digital platforms streamlines DEI training and makes it more engaging for employees. Online diversity training platforms cater to [diverse learning preferences](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/learning-and-development-tools-why-your-employee-growth-strategy-needs-them), improve accessibility, and facilitate delivery to a geographically dispersed workforce. Online diversity also enhances the overall effectiveness of these training programs. ## Measuring the impact of DEI training Measuring the impact of DEI training ensures the programs are effective and aligned with broader organizational goals. Establishing clear objectives for DEI programs helps track progress and foster accountability, making ongoing commitment beyond training vital for lasting change. Regularly tracking key performance indicators and implementing structured feedback mechanisms enhances the effectiveness and relevance of effective DEI training initiatives. ### Long-term impact vs. immediate results Focusing on sustained change rather than short-term outcomes leads to a more inclusive workplace culture. Engaging employees in open dialogue at their own pace is essential to identify underlying DEI concerns, as it takes time to see results from DEI initiatives. ## Common DEI training challenges (and how to handle them) Even with the best of intentions, successful DEI training alone isn’t always enough to spark lasting change. To make a real impact, organizations need to pair training with supportive policies, leadership buy-in, and an ongoing commitment to equity. Here are some common roadblocks and how to move past them: - **Resistance to change**: Some employees may feel uncomfortable or defensive during DEI and allyship training. Address this by creating space for open, judgment-free conversations and encouraging honest dialogue experiences and concerns. - **Lack of follow-through**: A one-time workshop won’t do much on its own. Reinforce inclusion strategies with updated policies, accountability measures, and regular check-ins to keep the momentum going. - **Leadership gaps**: DEI efforts fall flat without strong leadership. Invest in inclusive leadership training to help managers recognize bias and lead by example. - **Limited inclusivity across roles**: It’s not enough for just HR or leadership to understand DEI. Make sure every level of the organization—from entry-level to executive—has the tools to contribute to a more inclusive workplace. By tackling these challenges and making DEI training important, companies can build a stronger, more inclusive culture where everyone has a fair shot at success. ## Make your welcoming environment a reality DEI training is a powerful step toward building a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. By choosing the right training programs, embedding DEI into daily operations, and addressing challenges head-on, organizations can create lasting change.  The result? A more engaged, innovative, and inclusive team that works and grows together. ## Frequently asked questions (FAQs) Q. What is the purpose of DEI training?A.

April 5, 2022 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/author/cypher) 7 minutes read An intelligent learning platform (ILP) for schools and universities might be the tool you’ll start using soon if you’re a teacher, academic institution leader, student, or parent. Schools and universities have been leveraging the power of edtech for quite a while now. Especially during the past two years, the interest and necessity of online learning have skyrocketed. Students have continued pursuing their studies despite prolonged lockdowns through platforms such as [learning management systems](/academia) (LMSs) and video conferencing software. Educators have also adjusted to teaching online, and this trend is here to stay even if most schools have reopened their doors. Moreover, teachers realized that online classes are more appealing to students because of their content such as goal-oriented videos or quizzes. These classes also open the door to self-paced personalized learning. Additionally, teaching with edtech also allowed educators to save time spent on manual tasks thanks to features such asauto-graded assignments. Today, edtech companies are actively working on taking digitization even further by converting the traditional LMS into an [intelligent learning platform (ILP)](https://www.cloud-awards.com/2020/09/17/the-rise-of-the-intelligent-learning-platform/). Learn more what an ILP is and how it will reshape how educational institutions deliver content, evaluate and track student progress. ## Defining the intelligent learning platform for schools and universities An ILP is a hybrid learning platform that combines two already established systems — learning management systems (LMSs) and learning experience platforms (LXPs). Let’s see what features it takes from each one: ### LMS-related features LMSs allow teachers to create classes and share them with students. These systems also provide assessments, feedback and reporting tools, as well as automation and gamification, among many other features. Therefore, they enable teachers to manage classes, deliver content, evaluate students, check their understanding, give feedback and offer a wide range of features for student engagement. ### LXP-related features LXPs are slightly different platforms that focus more on learner experience. They work as knowledge hubs that gather many educational materials. They provide additional content based on each student's activity and interests. They work as content recommendation tools that facilitate access to personalized educational resources. The ILP is the combination of an LMS and an LXP. It brings together their best features, being both teacher and student-oriented. ## The benefits of an intelligent learning platform for schools and universities An ILP has many benefits for students and teachers. To get a better understanding of how it works, here’s an overview of its main advantages for K-12 and Higher Ed institutions: ### Intelligent learning platform benefits for K-12 schools From [personalized learning paths](/blog/k-20/the-role-of-the-lms-in-designing-personalized-learning-paths-for-students/) to higher class completion rates, accurate AI-powered insights and less time spent creating class materials, here are the main benefits of an intelligent learning platform for K-12: 1. #### Improved student motivation Unlike traditional LMSs that mainly deliver standardized content, ILPs focus on providing the most suitable learning content for each student. Students can get automatic learning recommendations based on their level of competency and goals. Hence, more advanced students can access more complex learning resources and assessments to keep them motivated. If the platform detects that students have spent too much time on a class or repeatedly failed a quiz, it will recommend additional resources that will help them improve in the area where they are struggling. Therefore, with the help of various educational resources that include both internal and external content (third-party resources, videos, classes, articles), ILPs ensure higher class completion rates and boost student motivation and engagement.

Moreover, an ILP for schools and universities can also help teachers spot problems in due time and intervene in the early stages when students show the first signs of falling behind in class. This is possible thanks to the platform’s analytics tools. ILPs automatically track each student’s progress and detect problematic behavior such as users who haven’t logged into their accounts for a while, failed to complete their classes, or haven’t submitted their assignments in due time.Therefore, teachers can quickly notice problems or even receive automated notifications once they arise to take measures and prevent them from escalating. 1. #### Less time spent looking for materials Students can access a wealth of educational resources. The good part is that these come from different sources. Besides the classes created by their teachers, students will also be able to access content from third-party providers. For teachers, this means less time spent creating or uploading new classes. Consequently, they gain more time for essential activities such as improving their teaching methods or interacting with students. 1. #### Valuable insights for school administrators ILPs take the analytics and reporting capabilities of LMSs one step further. Gaining valuable user information is just one of the advantages of using AI. Thanks to their powerful AI features, these platforms can collect in-depth data related to student performance as well as class engagement. School administrators can also use these insights, which will come in straightforward reports or graphs, to improve strategic planning, evaluation, or feedback analysis. For example, they can [use gamification in their classroom](/blog/k-20/how-to-set-up-a-classroom-gamification-level-system/) to boost engagement. Read more: [5 Must-have LMS reports for schools](/blog/k-20/5-must-have-lms-reports-for-schools/) ### Intelligent learning platform benefits for Higher Ed institutions ILPs unlock learning anchored in real-world careers by allowing students to focus on their learning goals. Moreover, ILPs promote student collaboration and engagement and allow teachers to access real-time analytics. Here are the main ILP benefits for Higher Ed. 1. #### Focus on future careers With an ILP, students can choose learning goals such as “I want to become an entrepreneur” or “I want to become a Graphic Designer” and get recommendations based on them. This is a game-changer feature for college students who aspire to work in a certain field after graduation and can access many resources or even mentoring opportunities through the platform. For example, the university can add alumni accounts for former students who specialize in different fields. Then, students can get recommendations to alumni directly and ask them for help in reaching their learning goals. 1. #### A more personalized learning experience Students already use YouTube, course marketplaces and other platforms to learn all sorts of things through engaging video content. With an ILP, universities will be able to leverage this sort of content as well as regular classes hosted by the university. This is due to the integrations an intelligent learning platform for schools and universities has with third-party content providers such as Go1 or LinkedIn Learning. Students get access to classes based on their interests and goals. For example, an Art student who’s interested in product design can get different class recommendations on Udemy in addition to their regular university classes. More so, the ILP will allow students to browse through educational resources the same way they do when looking for a movie on Netflix — based on their interests and competencies. The result is a more personalized and effective learning experience. 1. #### Improved student engagement The main reason why many Higher Ed institutions will most likely turn to an intelligent learning platform for schools and universities is that these tools increase student engagement. They achieve this by providing them with content that matches their needs and expectations. Yet, this is not all. ILPs also monitor and help share learner feedback in real-time. This creates a more interactive, fun, and effective learning experience. For example, students can rate each learning recommendation and this will help other students come across relevant content. Moreover, it will enable teachers to improve class materials according to student feedback. An ILP also emphasizes social learning through features such as groups, chats, or forums where students from the same faculty or with similar goals and interests can help each other succeed. ## What are the features of an intelligent learning platform for schools and universities? In addition to LXP and LMS features, an ILP boasts other features both schools and universities can tap into to improve their classes and help students achieve mastery. Most importantly, they contribute to an enhanced skill development system that features: ### Goals, recommendations and third-party content First, students or teachers can choose the learning goals. Based on them and each student’s platform activity, the system automatically generates content recommendations by providing in-house or third-party educational resources. Learning goals and recommendations are also associated with the competencies students must achieve. Here are some examples for K-12: And here are ideas for a Higher Ed institution: Competencies are correlated with the most suitable teacher-created and third-party content recommendations. Students can choose the content they find most appealing from the suggestions they get. As more and more students use the platform, they’ll be able to see which recommendations are highly rated by their peers. The purpose of learning goals and recommended content is to enable [competency-based learning](/resources/brochures/academia/competency-based-learning), making students more independent and flexible. Additionally, teachers can set goals and get recommendations for their own career objectives, such as mastering new teaching techniques, if the institution offers professional development programs. ### Automation and gamification features Teachers already have a lot on their hands, so an ILP aims to make their work easier. Automation is a central part of ILPs as it allows teachers to set up rules that are triggered when students complete goals, such as awarding badges and certificates or sending custom notifications. In this way, students get automatic recommendations, but they can also get a custom notification written by the teacher whenever they enroll in a class or a certificate whenever they complete it. Gamification is a feature that is powered by automation and makes learning more enjoyable, as students get rewarded with points and badges for their work and level up in the class game. However, with an ILP, they also get rewarded within gamified Q&A forums, in which they ask and answer questions related to their learning goals and help fellow students succeed. ### Social learning, news feeds and collaboration tools ILPs have inherited collaboration tools from LMSs, such as groups, chats, and forums. In an ILP, these tools were enhanced to provide a more social and engaging learning experience for students and teachers alike. The goal is to enable an online learning community experience centered around learning goals and interests. Students can automatically access certain groups and communities based on the goals and competencies they or their teachers have added. This enables social learning, which has many advantages beyond the thrill of being part of a community. In these groups and communities, students can: - Ask questions - Post answers - Share resources - Earn points or badges for every answer they post - Help their classmates Furthermore, thanks to the enhanced news feeds, students will find it easier to share educational resources, rate them or provide their feedback. So, everyone will see how useful a certain class or another type of resource is and immediately figure out if it’s suitable for their needs. ### Conclusion ILPs like the one that’s currently developed by [CYPHER Learning](/) are leading the way for LMS innovation. Both K-12 and Higher Ed students can benefit from goal setting, recommendations, resources, collaborative tools, personalized learning and competency-based learning features. There are also many benefits for teachers, such as less time spent creating or looking for materials, easy goal tracking, and student progress monitoring. Leaders and administrators can easily manage all teaching and learning activities through a single platform. These features and more will soon be available in our [platform](/academia) used by institutions worldwide.

The use and adoption of modern educational technologies are imperative to improve student performance and make them prepared to face the serious challenges that they will face in the future. ## Why technology is so important in schools? The adoption and increased use of technology and other devices in classrooms are more than just fancy computers, tablets, digital boards, or the internet. Using technology is engaging students in ways that will increase their learning and ultimately groom them for the digital workforce of tomorrow. Furthermore, there are learning apps [such as these](https://smiletutor.sg/5-must-have-learning-apps-for-primary-school-students/) that enhance the students learning experience and equip them with future-ready skills they need to apply for jobs of the future. As more and more employers demand potential employees to be technology literate, it is obvious that students need digital literacy to begin their careers. Skills like creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration are also necessary to succeed in the workplace, and being tech savvy will allow the students to develop and hone these important life skills. Here are some effective ways that technology will better prepare students for the future workforce, no matter which path they choose. ### Encourages teamwork Teamwork and collaboration are necessary for students throughout their educational and professional careers. It is something they have to deal with in many situations. Collaboration can lead to effective learning. Technology [encourages students to collaborate](https://www.commonsense.org/education/articles/how-technology-can-encourage-student-collaboration) more and provides them with better opportunities to communicate. Furthermore, technology also allows students to work on team projects and share their strengths. When students work together, they learn to share, learn how to listen, and work well with their fellow mates. Teamwork and collaboration also enable students to work through conflicts to find the best resolution. ### Develops critical thinking skills Critical thinking is one of the topmost skills or qualities employers want to see in their potential employees. Employers simply don’t have the time and incentives to explain their employees on how to complete a task they assigned to them in detail. They want their employees to figure it out for themselves. To be successful in the workplace, students should have the mental prowess to think the task or project on hand and come up with the ideal solutions to complete it. Initiatives like One-to-One (1:1) computing and connected classrooms will enable students easier and better access to necessary tools and resources, which will allow them to develop the habit of working through tasks effectively and creatively. ### Inculcates responsibility When schools deploy various technology-enabled devices and other tools to students, most of them are school-sponsored. Therefore, every student is required to abide by a code of conduct concerning the usage and material accessed on the device(s). This agreement instills a sense of responsibility and ownership of the student. Under any circumstances, the student is found misusing their assigned device or breaches their code of conduct, it is highly possible that the student’s privilege to access the device will be revoked. There may also be imposed with disciplinary actions. By putting this level of accountability, students will not only be responsible for the ways they use technology, but they will also be fully aware of the reinforcing consequences. ### Teaches students to adapt The rate and speed of various technologies are changing [are unprecedented](https://singularityhub.com/rease their computer skills as its being adopted in the classrooms. As technology changes, students will quickly adapt to future technologies sooner or later. ### Instills career learning We already established the fact that by using technology students become more engaged in the classroom. Adoption of technology in the classroom also teaches the students to enjoy and become more involved with the learning process, even if they don’t seem to realize it. As students ask more questions, seeks new information, finds answers and facts, their habit of exploratory learning develops. This is the building block of career learning. Career learners continuously seek new information and ways to improve themselves, which ultimately leads them to acquire skills which they can actually use throughout their personal and professional lives. ## One last thing Last but not least, to make the adoption of technology in the classroom a success, the schools should implement pragmatic initiatives to address inequities in technology access and make that teachers at all levels are literate in technology. Schools should also ensure that the concerned authorities and educators put the appropriate technology tools into the hands of our students.

Plano (TX), 31. Oktober 2023 – Eine aufsehenerregende neue Arbeitnehmerstudie aus dem Vereinigten Königreich hat ergeben, dass mehr als ein Drittel (38%) der 16- bis 24-Jährigen nach eigenen Angaben an neurodivergenten Störungen wie Autismus, ADHS und Legasthenie leidet. Die Ergebnisse deuten zudem darauf hin, dass die derzeit im Ausbildungs- und Schulungsbereich zur Anwendung kommenden Einheits-lösungen ein Erfolgshindernis darstellen können – für viel mehr Arbeitnehmende als bisher angenommen. Mehr als ein Fünftel (21%) der Arbeitnehmenden mit neurodivergenten Störungen gab an, dass die Aus- und Weiterbildung am Arbeitsplatz nicht ihren Bedürfnissen entspricht – eine Zahl, die bei den 16- bis 24-Jährigen auf 26% ansteigt. Da auch diesen Herbst wieder meh-rere zehntausend Absolventen ins Berufsleben eintreten, sind Unternehmen dringend gefordert, dafür zu sorgen, dass ihre Schulungs- und Entwicklungspläne für alle Arbeitnehmenden geeignet sind. "HR-Teams sollten sich der Herausforderung stellen, ihre L&D-Programme zu optimieren, um das Beste aus ihren neuen Mitarbeitenden herauszuholen", so Graham Glass, CEO und Gründer von CYPHER Learning. "Maßgeschneidertem Lernen und personalisiertem Training kommt bei diesem Wandel eine entscheidende Rolle zu und hier kommt künstliche Intelligenz (KI) neu ins Spiel. Wenn Mitarbeitende wissen, dass sie das für sie am besten geeignete Training erhalten, sind sie für den Erfolg gerüstet und Unternehmen können mit einer engagierteren Belegschaft und besser abrufbaren Fähigkeiten rechnen." *Abbildung 1: Prozentualer Anteil der Arbeitnehmenden, die sich selbst mit neurodivergenten Störungen wie Autismus, ADHS und Legasthenie identifizieren, nach Altersgruppe. Quelle: Umfrage von CYPHER Learning* Über alle Altersgruppen hinweg wird jeder fünfte Arbeitnehmende als neurodiver-gent eingestuft (Abbildung 1). Diese Zahlen stehen im Einklang mit der in den letzten Jahren belegten Zunahme von Autismus-, ADHS- und Legasthenie-Diagnosen – wobei sich zum Beispiel im Vereinigten Königreich die Diagnose von ADHS bei erwachsenen Männern unter 30 Jahren zwischen 2000 und 2018 verzwanzigfacht hat. Dennoch gibt es nach wie vor Hindernisse am Arbeitsplatz: - Es wird geschätzt, dass die Arbeitslosigkeit bei neurodivergenten Erwachsenen 30-40% beträgt. - Neurodivergente Erwerbstätige haben im Vergleich zu ihren neurotypischen Altersgenossen eher Lernschwierigkeiten und Probleme in den Bereichen Lesen und Schreiben, soziale Interaktion und Kommunikation sowie Koordination und Motorik. - Arbeitnehmende mit ADHS-Diagnose und den Kernsymptomen Unaufmerk-samkeit, Impulsivität und Hyperaktivität haben beispielsweise eine um 30% höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit, chronische Beschäftigungsprobleme zu haben, und eine um 60% höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit, entlassen zu werden. Viele Unternehmen, die ihre HR-Prozesse aktualisiert haben, um Zugang zu neurodiversen Talenten zu erhalten, haben von Produktivitätssteigerungen, einer Erhöhung der Innovationsfähigkeit und einem stärkeren Engagement der Mitarbeitenden profitiert. CYPHER Learning fordert Unternehmen auf, bessere Instrumente zur Unterstützung neurodiverser Arbeitnehmer bereitzustellen und diesen Talentpool zu erschließen. "Es wurde berichtet, dass neurodiverse Gruppen besser in der Lage sind, sich zu konzentrieren, kreativ und unkonventionell zu denken, Muster zu erkennen und eine bessere Beobachtungsgabe haben. Die Anpassung des Arbeitsplatzes an ihre Bedürfnisse ist nicht nur eine freundliche Geste, sondern eine kluge Geschäfts-entscheidung. Und die Aus- und Weiter-bildung spielt dabei eine große Rolle", so Glass weiter. "Während L&D-Teams früher kaum eine andere Wahl hatten, als Programme zu erstellen, die für alle bestmöglich zu passen hatten, ist das heute mit KI nicht mehr der Fall. In einem neuerdings von KI geprägten L&D-Umfeld ist personalisiertes Lernen für jedermann nicht nur realistisch sondern auch realisierbar. Dies wird dazu beitragen, den Arbeitsplatz inklusiver zu gestalten und bringt – unterm Strich – Vorteile für alle." Laura Watkins, Chief Executive bei The Donaldson Trust, sagte: "Ein wirklich personalisierter Ansatz zur Unterstützung und Entwicklung neurodivergenter Mitarbeitenden ist mit dem Einsatz von KI-Plattformen näher an einer Verwirklichung als jemals zuvor. Indem sie Stress und Ängste reduzieren und individuelle Unterschiede anerkennen und würdigen, werden diese Plattformen erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Unterstützung von neurodivergenten Mitarbeitenden, die Entwicklung einer integrativeren Kultur und die Förderung potenzieller Talente haben." Methodik der Umfrage CYPHER Learning arbeitete mit dem unabhängigen Meinungsforschungsinstitut Censuswide zusammen, um 4000 Arbeitnehmende zu befragen – von Inhabern und Führungskräften bis hin zu Angestellten und Auszubildende. Dabei befragte Censuswide je 2000 Arbeitnehmende aus den Vereinigten Staaten und dem Vereinigten Königreich, um ihre Einstellung zu Weiterbildung und Lernentwicklung am Arbeitsplatz besser zu verstehen.

Both are essential at school and in life. As social beings, we must learn to collaborate with our peers if we want to be part of major projects that require teamwork. We tend to focus on individuals when we talk the major achievements of humankind, but we often forget that they were the result of cooperation between many individuals. In 1969, Neil Armstrong made history by being the first man to walk on the Moon. But what he accomplished was the result of the collaboration between thousands of engineers, scientists, and workers from all over the country. Without cooperation, nobody would have ever walked on the Moon. Conversely, independence is also essential for significant endeavors. When you are on your own, you need to be confident and knowledgeable enough to solve problems. Therefore, students need to learn to be independent as well as team players. [3 Before Me](https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/3-before-me/) is a teaching method that boosts student independence and team playing skills development. Let’s see how you can use it in the classroom! ## How does 3 Before Me work? The basic idea of this teaching method is quite simple: before reaching out to the teacher, the student must ask for help from three different people. This first approach develops team players, allowing students to collaborate with their peers before asking their teacher for help. Another approach focuses on independence and self-confidence: whenever they are stuck, students must try to find a solution in three different ways before reaching out to the teacher. This second approach of the method focuses on independence and self-confidence. ## What does it require? The core of the method is a growth mindset. When educators and parents focus on the learning processes and not only on the final results (as it still happens), a growth mindset is instilled in all stakeholders. Students realize that regardless of their current results, they can perform better if they keep practicing. They truly believe that progress is possible. Within the 3 Before Me method, students are encouraged to find answers in the classroom: books, the internet, their peers. This makes the learning process more flexible and encourages students to be more creative and feel more empowered. Obviously, the method can be used in individual and group tasks. This approach changes the teacher’s role as the only knowledge holder and empowers students to use the best learning sources. Some feel more comfortable with books, others will prefer the internet, others will ask their classmates. All three methods are different paths that take students to the same destination: the solution for the problem. “3 Before Me” is similar in some aspects to the flipped classroom method, but it is more flexible, as it can be used in all learning stages. Read more: [Exploring 4 types of Flipped Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/exploring-4-types-of-flipped-learning/) ## Edtech for 3 Before Me? It goes without saying that with a little bit of imagination – and proper edtech solutions – the “3 Before Me” method can be used in online environments as well. For instance, a learning management system (LMS) offers many [collaboration opportunities](/tour/human-connection) between students: forums, chat rooms, one-to-one discussions, etc. An LMS can also include learning apps and can be synchronized to encyclopedias, compendiums, handbooks, and textbooks with all the necessary information for a certain subject. Moreover, a teacher can better supervise and assess the learning progress, as it is possible to see in real-time all three solutions found by the students before being approached by them. ## Concluding remarks Some people might disagree with this method, as it takes a little longer to find a solution. However, I believe it is more beneficial for the students in the long run. If they get into the habit of reaching out to their teacher whenever they are stuck, they will not become independent and perhaps will not be confident in their ability to solve problems on their own or with the help of their peers. They will not have a teacher for guidance every time they face a problem. Sometimes, they need to become their own teachers. 3 Before Me does precisely that: it shows students that they can find solutions to problems, individually or as part of a team.

Change is indeed hard but also an opportunity in disguise. At the end of the day, people still need to **develop their skills** to do their jobs better. Any **successful training program** has at least three aspects: content, time, and people. It has to provide the right content, at the right time, to the right people. To achieve this, **instructional designers** need to step up their game and **deliver training programs** that meet the specific needs of a remote workforce. Here are the first three steps to take: 1. ### Design on-demand training Remote employees need to learn how to **avoid distractions**, **manage their time** and other resources well, collaborate virtually, all while keeping up with the ever-changing developments in their industry. To help them develop all these skills, instructional designers should first perform a **training needs analysis** and then **create relevant content** in multiple formats. 2. ### Embrace asynchronous training The most important thing to always keep in mind when adapting any training activity is quite simple: **online learning** doesn’t have to happen simultaneously as **online teaching**. **Asynchronous (or self-paced) training** gives more agency to employees and allows them to access training at the point of need. That is one of the **most efficient strategies** to ensure learning happens. 3. ### Leverage technology There are many types of online tools remote workers have to use, but the most important is a **learning management system (LMS)**, as it incorporates all the training content. A **business LMS** is a critical component of any online training program, allowing **L&D specialists** to design and deliver **training to all employees** across departments, work experience, and locations. It helps remote workers build the skills needed to perform in a virtual work environment. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

READ MORE: [Machine learning in modern LMS platforms](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/lms-machine-learning-cypher) NLP is another critical component, enabling [course creation tools](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) and [conversational agents](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-learners) within the LMS and allowing for more intuitive user interaction. NLP enhances engagement by allowing learners to communicate in a conversational, highly understandable language. ## Benefits of using AI in learning management systems AI is changing the game for learning management systems—and it’s not just saving time for instructors (though it does that, too).  By streamlining content creation, automating repetitive tasks, and simplifying admin burden, an AI-powered LMS helps teams do more with less. That means fewer hassles and more time to focus on meaningful learning experiences and outcomes. But truly transformative outcomes happen with personalization. AI-driven platforms can adjust content to match each learner’s pace, preferences, and progress and support other learning needs that aren’t met by the catalog. It’s like having a personal tutor for every employee or student, making learning more effective and engaging at every step, no matter the subject. Let’s take a closer look at a few of these perks. ### Changing personalized learning experiences for good AI in LMS platforms takes personalization to the next level. For example, platforms like CYPHER adapt in real time to each learner’s performance and knowledge level—offering extra support when someone is struggling and more advanced material when they’re ready for a challenge. The result is a learning experience tailored to individual goals and progress. But AI personalization doesn’t stop at structured courses. Learners can also ask questions in the moment—whether it’s to clarify a concept, explore a related topic, or solve a real-world problem they’re facing on the job. Instead of waiting for an instructor or digging through modules, they get instant, context-aware answers that help them stay in flow and learn more effectively. ### Boosting learner engagement with AI tools AI tools boost engagement by incorporating engaging content that motivates and involves learners.  Dynamic interactions like [gamified content](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification) and customizable quizzes foster greater engagement with generative AI-powered features.

It's a big step forward for companies with many employees working remotely from various parts of the globe. Learning is much easier with the help of LMSs as they make e-learning courses available and accessible for all employees. The challenge is ensuring that learning objectives are met and that learners reach the skill levels necessary to perform well in their roles. With learners having unprecedented autonomy, LMS assessments must be truly indicative of the levels of mastery achieved through the e-learning courses. Furthermore, L&D professionals depend on these assessments to demonstrate the effectiveness of every training program they deploy. ## Your platform offers many ways to create LMS assessments Assessments are necessary but generally don't make for crowd-pleasers. Many adult learners still think of their sometimes stressful formative years whenever they come across the words "quiz," "test," or "multiple choice." Furthermore, instructional designers need to ensure that the online assessment results are accurate and accurately measure learner progress. This is where a good LMS comes in handy, as it has many options to cater to learners' needs and make the evaluation process engaging and fun. The many types of LMS assessments, as well as the possibility to customize them, are essential for the success of corporate training programs. ## Best practices for creating LMS assessments Online evaluations come with several challenges and there are several pitfalls instructors need to avoid. Here are some helpful tips creating LMS assessments: ### Allow multiple attempts The point of the training is for them to remember and apply the information, not to get it right on the first try. When the first answer is incorrect, the learner has to rethink the question and revisit the information, leading to a better understanding. ### Use the automated grading option Automated grading eases the instructor's workload. Adult learners want autonomy — to feel like they are in charge of their learning. When the assessments are auto-grated, the results are immediate, thus keeping learners engaged with the content. ### Enrich with gamification Learners can earn points and badges for completing assessments. The gamification of training motivates them to pass each assessment, and they're also rewarded automatically for their good results or attempts. ### Make use of learning analytics LMS assessment results offer valuable insight into the effectiveness of training. They also hold the key to identifying knowledge gaps and content areas that are either too difficult or too easy. By employing the platform's learning analytics features, you can get comprehensive reports to showcase a specific program's strong and weak points. ### Use competency-based training Corporate training and development focuses on building skills and competencies that employees need in the workplace. Ideally, your platform has a competency-based learning feature that you can use to ensure every e-learning course is built to evaluate clear and specific competencies. *See how easy it is to create an assessment in the CYPHER Learning platform* ## 9 Types of assessments you can create in your LMS There are several types of assessments you can create in your LMS. The one you choose has to fit learners and the content of the online course. The format of your e-learning course will primarily determine which types of assessments will be suitable. Depending on the structure and subject of your course, you might want to include one or a mix of these assessments: ### 1. Quizzes Quizzes allow learners to answer a set of questions. There are many question types that you can add to a quiz, including the common true or false, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blanks. You also have freeform, matching and even hotspot question options if you need something more advanced. Even better, instructors can add questions from question banks, which are collections of questions that instructors can create and store for repeated uses. Quizzes can also be graded automatically, which means that instructors just assign correct and wrong answers to each question and don't have to worry manual grading. Learners get instant results and can try multiple times. ### 2. Offline Offline assessments don't require online submissions. It can be anything from reading a book, a case study, or working on a project. The learners can let the instructor know when they are done with the task by marking it as "completed." This will remove it from the learner's to-do list. Subsequently, the instructor will grade each learner based on the results of the assigned offline work. ### 3. Discussion Setting up a discussion assessment encourages learners to participate by answering a discussion thread started by the instructor. The best part is that they can earn points and even work towards achieving mastery of a competency. This way, you can avoid copy-paste interactions where most participants give the same answers to a question. ### 4. Team This type of assessment asks groups of learners to work on joint submissions. The instructor splits the learners into teams, each with a private group. This space can be used for collaboration of their submissions. Once the team task is completed, the instructor can grade each learner based on participation and the end result. Team assessments are great tools for fostering collaboration and social learning. ### 5. Survey A survey assessment gives the learner a set of questions that can be either multiple-choice or free-form. Post-training surveys are often the most popular, but you can use surveys to conduct training needs assessments and check learner engagement while they're taking the course. ### 6. Dropbox This is an excellent medium for submitting lengthier files (like PDFs) and for building learning portfolios. These are important for more complex competencies (such as project management, for example) and also allow for collaboration and feedback. For example, if the training program is aimed at building online marketing skills, the learners may be asked to build a campaign and submit it for review. ### 7. Debate Debate assessments might not seem like the first choice regarding corporate learning. However, when the training is developing skills such as critical analysis or out-of-the-box thinking, this assessment is perfect. Allowing the learners to add arguments for or against a statement is the best way to get a conversation going and foster collaboration and constructive feedback. ### 8. H5P H5P assessments are great when you need to make the evaluation process more engaging and when there are additional resources (such as videos). Apart from the "wow" factor of adding media content, these types of assessments are highly customizable. ### 9. Peer-reviewed Social learning is essential to training success. For our CYPHER Learning platform for Business, we teamed up with [Turnitin](https://www.turnitin.com/) — a cloud-based platform that performs originality checking, online grading, and peer review. It is a real-time-saver for instructors, providing varied and relevant feedback to learners. ### Bonus assessment options - **LTI**stands for [Learning Tools Interoperability](https://www.imsglobal.org/activity/learning-tools-interoperability). It allows for the integration of other learning tools with the LMS while deploying and assessing training programs. You can use external resources such as courses, videos, audio content, maps, assessments, badges, etc. - **SCORM**stands for [Shareable Content Object Reference Model](https://scorm.com/scorm-explained/one-minute-scorm-overview/). If assessments meet the SCORM standard for LMSs, they can be shared on any platform. Any assessment can be a SCORM assessment, and they work like third-party content you create with various other tools – like Adobe Captivate or PowerPoint. ## Conclusion LMSs offer L&D specialists and instructors an ideal environment for assessing learner skills. The platforms optimize otherwise time-consuming tasks such as grading quizzes, offering instant feedback, or plagiarism checks. If you need quick, engaging, and customizable LMS assessments, check out the [CYPHER Learning platform](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation), which features 15 assessment types, automation, rich analytics and competency-based learning.

Even psychological studies prove that people get a [boost of oxytocin](https://www.businesswire.com/news//20121119005572/en/Coupons.com-Claremont-Graduate-University-Study-Reveals-Coupons), the “feel-good” hormone when they receive a coupon. While that’s true, there is also a downside to offering discounts. Many online courses seem to be on sale all the time, sometimes up to 80% less, but this can do more harm than good. As a course creator, if your competition offers discounts all year round, you might feel the pressure to reduce your rates as well. However, very low prices, such as $10 instead of $100 might make people perceive your courses as being less valuable than they actually are. No matter where you are in your course entrepreneurship journey, you need to figure out the best way to navigate discounts without selling yourself short. So, should you offer discounts? When should you price down courses? How much should you take off the initial price? Keep reading to find an answer to all those questions and more. ## Why offer discounts on online courses? Offering discounts can be an excellent way to acquire new learners as well as motivate current ones to purchase again from you. However, it’s important to have the right planning if you want to [build customer loyalty](https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/16017-build-customer-loyalty.html) in the long run. Here are a few reasons to offer discounts on online courses. ### Create a sense of urgency Since you spend so much time working and perfecting your online course, it would be a good idea to offer a [limited-time discount](https://www.drip.com/blog/limited-time-offers) for people who purchase it during a certain timeframe. This will make learners curious your newly-launched course and might increase your chances of turning them into loyal customers. ### Reward loyal learners By offering a coupon or a bulk discount to your loyal learners, you make them feel appreciated. For example, if there are learners that have purchased at least two of your courses, it’s time to come up with a reward program for them. Bulk discounts that apply to the whole cart are an excellent way to give a little token back. Ten percent might not seem like a lot, but it can make a big difference when purchasing multiple items. Another thing that you could do is to create special bundles for them and sell them as a package. ### Generate repeat purchases How many times have you purchased an item online and received a discount code to use on the same website? Probably many times. This is one of those strategies that everyone uses, from small to large companies, and it works great. While subscriptions are ideal as they ensure that your learners will return for more, offering a small coupon will have the same effect. Next time your learners purchase your courses, you can send them a thank you message and include a promotional code. If you want to be sure they’ll purchase another one of your courses, you can offer a 20-30% discount code for a limited time. ## Are there any disadvantages to offering discounts on online courses? Although offering discounts on online courses seems to be a no-brainer for increasing your revenue and brand awareness, there are also potential downsides. Here are a few examples: ### Potential brand damage People often associate high prices with good quality products. Even if you can’t afford a $2,000 pair of designer sneakers, you still perceive them as high quality. The same applies to your online courses. In this case, your [learners believe that they get what they pay for](https://www.jstor.org/stable/3151366). If they see that you now sell courses for $10 instead of $100, they will believe that something is off the content of those courses. I’m not suggesting that your prices should be extortionate just so you can compare with famous course creators, but it’s best to offer discounts less often if you want to maintain a valued brand image. ### Lower profit Many course creators might believe that lowering course prices is the best way to increase sales and keep their existing learners. This is not entirely true. However, some hidden effects are associated with lowering your prices. The most common one is related to a decrease in your profit. If you decide to cut your cost by 10%, so you start selling a bundle for $90 instead of $100, you will have to sell more courses to make a profit. This is a significant negative effect on your business. As previously mentioned, you cannot expect to get a burst of learners just because you have lowered your prices. After all, your competition might do that, too. ### Meaningless discount You have probably seen a particular brand or even a competitor that always offers discounts on online courses. No matter the season or occasion, they send a newsletter reminding you of the great deal they currently have. However, the more they do that, the bigger the chance that people get used to those sales and don’t believe they are accurate anymore. Therefore, when it comes to the online courses you spend so much time perfecting, it’s good to take your time and only offer discounts in important moments. In one of the examples above, I was talking offering deals for a new course launch. It’s a great opportunity to increase your customer lifetime value and send them a discount code. ## How to figure out how many discounts to offer? Offering discounts on online courses can be beneficial for your business as you don’t lose money while doing so. Creating online courses takes a big initial investment, but they don’t need a lot of money to be maintained so that you can offer them at low discounts. The higher the discount you offer, the more difficult it is to cover the initial investment. For instance, a 10% discount is a nice reward for some existing learners, but that’s not enough to attract new people. You can increase profits by using the bundle option in your [learning platform](/business). How? Firstly, by applying this strategy, you increase the number of courses or digital media files you sell. Secondly, you’re able to combine popular and less popular courses together. Lastly, your learners get to take your other courses as long as you make sure to bundle relevant items together. When choosing between a fixed or percentage discount, you need to ask yourself which one of these options has a higher perceived value. For example” **Q: if you’re selling a $1,000 course, then which of the two options gives you a higher perceived value?** - 15% off - $150 off A: $150 off wins because it has a higher perceived value by your customers. **Q: Now, let’s say that you’re selling digital media items for $20. Which one of the two has a higher perceived value?** - $3 off - 15% off A: 15% off wins because your customers perceive this discount as a higher value instead of just a $3 off discount. Take a moment and ask yourself which one of these options sounds more appealing. Maybe you can also get feedback from current or potential learners to see which option they’d gravitate to, then go with that. ## Applying discounts on online courses in your learning management system Using your [learning management system](/tour/e-commerce) (LMS) e-commerce feature, you can easily set up various discounts for your courses, bundles, subscriptions, and digital media, set a preferred currency when doing so, and customize other preferences. It’s easy to: ### 1. Add the coupon Your learning platform provides an option to create coupons. You can select the amount of the discount, which can either be a percentage or a fixed amount. Make sure to select the courses, bundles, or subscriptions where the coupon is applied. Once you have enabled the e-commerce feature, you can start configuring coupons. Whether you want to sell courses independently or create special bundle packages that include media files and courses, it’s essential to organize all of these items. *Configure coupons in just a few minutes.* ### 2. Configure the items You can choose to give learners a discount on all of your learning products: online courses, subscriptions, bundles, or even digital media files. This is great for a Black Friday-type of sale. However, that may be too much, so it’s better to choose specific items that should be discounted. For example, you can set a lower price for the items included and give it a specific name, such as “Loyalty bundle,” so your learners know what to add to the cart. Depending on your learner groups, you can create different packages. Sorting everything will help you get an overview of all the courses and digital media files you currently have. This gives you a chance to start thinking other materials to create later and add there. *Bundles can contain only courses, digital media files such as ebooks or videos, or a mix of the two.* ### 3. Set an amount or percentage discount As mentioned before, you can select a percentage discount or a fixed amount. This depends on which online courses you want to create a coupon for and how many items are involved. For example, let’s say you want to offer $8 off their first month for new learners that purchase a subscription plan. If the subscription is $10/month for the subsequent months, then you are essentially giving them the opportunity to sample the subscription plan for $2. If they stick with the subscription for six months, then you’ll make a total of $52/learner. However, if you choose a percentage discount of 10% and your online course is priced at $500, then the course becomes $450, and you need to take this loss into account. When it comes to discounting your courses, you need to think of the profit margin. If you spend, on average, $200 per learner to create a course (including costs such as marketing, editing tools, learning platform subscription, etc.) and sell it for $500, the profit margin is $300. So, you can determine whether or not to offer a discount and the maximum discount amount, as well as how many courses you need to sell in order for the discount to make sense. Don’t forget to also take into account how many sales you need to make in order to break even if you’re planning to offer a launch coupon. ### 4. Create special discounts for LMS groups Discount groups are just different learner groups that you want to either attract (new learners) or retain (loyal customers). You can also offer a coupon for different account types, such as affiliates to reward them for their efforts in promoting your courses and helping you sell more. So, let’s say that you have created an LMS group for people who have attended your workshops. You can create a special coupon that will only work for people in this group. Additionally, you can host a giveaway contest to reward learners. They can enter a competition to win a 25% off coupon for any course on your platform. When you have a winner, you can simply select the learner from a list, so only they can use it. ### 5. Choose the currency When setting up a new coupon, it’s ideal to add a name so it’s easy to identify later. Instead of “Coupon 1, 2, 3” you could have something more specific such as “Aromatherapy discount coupon” or “Social media coupon” that you use for your social media community, etc. It’s also important to choose the currency that your learners are most comfortable with. Of course, it makes sense to go with the currency that you use to sell your online courses and other products. *Choose the coupon currency that best suits your needs.* ### 6. Choose a use limit Your coupons can be used an unlimited amount of times. However, this doesn’t allow you much control over discounts, so a different approach can be limiting the total number of times a coupon can be used across all users. Think of it as the “special discount for the first 100 purchases” type of promotional tactic. Single-use coupons are also effective as they help you retain customers and provide a sense of exclusivity as opposed to coupons that can be used multiple times. All you have to do is enable the “Once per user” option. ### 7. Set a time limit By limiting the amount of time a coupon can be used, you’re basically protecting your brand and creating a feeling of exclusivity for your existing learners. This is true especially if you create a coupon to reward their loyalty. Setting a time limit is useful when you want to create a sense of urgency and sell your courses during a certain period of time. By setting up the discount code to be used for a limited time, you might determine learners to make multiple purchases during a certain timeframe. *Time-sensitive coupons are a great way to convince potential learners to make a purchasing decision.* ## Wrapping up Back in rease your profit using discount coupons, it’s time to put your learning platform to work and generate more sales.

Instead of going to class to listen to the teacher’s lecture and then to do their work, students in a flipped classroom listen, watch or read by themselves before the class begins. While in class, they ask questions in order to clarify any difficult aspects of the lesson. Despite the popularity of the flipped classroom, there are still plenty of **misconceptions** it. Here are seven of them and how to overcome them. 1. ### It’s just a buzzword Even though the “Flipped Classroom“ goes back to 2007, the concept of **reverse instruction** is far older. No matter what you call it, making students come prepared to class and then design classroom activities so that there are more discussions, more interaction and more personalized instruction is a sound approach to education. 2. ### You either flip it or you don’t Many people assume that if you want to flip your classroom you have to **flip it from all angles**. But since the flipped classroom can be considered almost synonymous with **personalized instruction**, a one-size-fits-all approach is definitely not part of it. You can flip the entire semester, or just some types of lessons, or even some learning activities. 3. ### Flipped content must be a video Flipped content can be in video format and this format may be the most popular. However, this does not mean it’s the only one. Teachers who want to flip their classrooms **can opt for videos or simply go for text materials**. These can be printed and handed out to the class before, or better yet, uploaded online in the **school LMS** or other class collaboration platform. 4. ### The teacher must be in the video Teachers can become the star of their show by **filming themselves holding a lecture**. This adds personality to the learning material. However, not all teachers are natural with the camera. For those who prefer to avoid the filming light, the internet has plenty of **educational video resources** such as the [Khan Academy](https://www.khanacademy.org/) and [TED Talks](https://www.ted.com/topics/education). 5. ### The teacher needs a lot of technical knowledge Flipping the classroom requires the use of technology, but it’s not rocket science. All **technological tools created to assist instruction** strive to be as intuitive as possible. Recording screens, using a microphone, or uploading various formats of resources in an LMS are things that are easy to learn. Plus, there are plenty of YouTube videos that **provide tutorials**. 6. ### Flipping the classroom takes too much time Flipping the classroom does take time depending on the abilities of each teacher and how much of the class needs to be flipped. But once designed, it’ll **save time**. Teachers will be able to use the **same piece of content** over and over again. Then, any changes that must be made to keep the content updated will not take as much time. 7. ### Students may not be fans Teenagers are known for avoiding work and studying as much as possible. So how can we make sure they’ll do the necessary pre-class work? Communication is key. By asking questions like “What did you find difficult to understand in Chapter X?” or “What was the most interesting thing you found in the learning materials?” every time, **teachers can nudge students to come prepared to class**.

The traditional teaching methods no longer serve today's learners. There has to be a paradigm shift in our approach to education. Teaching needs to be student-centered, but most of all, it should be based on the graduate profile. [Mastery-based learning](https://www.gettingsmart.com/e the labor market dynamic is in continuous transformation and evolution, students need to be prepared for jobs and roles that don't exist today. How can schools do that? The short answer is that by focusing on developing the skills needed for these ever-changing times. Students should master learning content but also abilities such as adaptability, resilience, and agency. Also referred to as [competency-based](https://www.prodigygame.com/main-en/blog/competency-based-education/), [student-centered](https://iste.org/blog/build-student-centered-learning-the-right-way), [proficiency-based](https://www.teachthought.com/learning/10-principles-of-proficiency-based-learning/), or [performance-based learning](https://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/teaching-and-learning/performance-based-learning-how-it-works/), mastery-based learning (MBL) has similar features and principles with all these approaches. Indeed, the common denominator is putting the learner at the center of instruction in terms of the learning experience, the foundation and the outcome. ## The 6 principles of mastery-based learning Without further ado, let’s explore six principles that are the foundation of mastery-based learning: 1. ### Learners advance upon mastery of content and 21st-century skills Mastery-based learning contains two distinct but complementary elements: the learning content and the skills and behaviors students demonstrate along the way. As a result, it focuses on progress. Teaching ensures performance, [personalized learning](https://www.edweek.org/technology/what-is-personalized-learning/2019/11), alternative learning pathways, self-paced learning, adjustment of content, and continuous support. The final outcome is a well-rounded education that prepares learners for the next steps in their lives. 2. ### Schools communicate their standards and expectations clearly to students and their families There is a lot of confusion or misunderstandings from learners and their families regarding the requirements. Mastery-based learning aims to clarify and inform everyone involved on evaluation standards and expectations. This facilitates learning as students have a much better idea of their learning outcomes, goals, and the entire educational process. Students know exactly where they are and what they need to do to succeed. 3. ### Various forms of assessment are reported separately Teachers assess each learner individually based on competencies. There is no comparison between students. This means that students are evaluated based on progress and not a standard that they should achieve at a certain point to keep up with their peers. Formative assessments help teachers understand when and where to adjust their teaching strategies. They can also offer much-needed [academic support](https://www.menloschool.org/academics/types-of-academic-support.php). Summative assessments evaluate learning achievement. They record students' mastery at a specific time. Teachers can separately monitor and report academic progress and other achievements, such as work habits, character traits, attendance, or class participation. 4. ### Schools personalize learning to meet learners where they are emotionally and performance-wise With clear expectations and reliable reports comes a better understanding of the learning trajectory of every student. Teachers assess students' performance, and based on the results, they tailor instruction to suit individual learning needs. Students demonstrate learning progress through differentiated assessments, personalized learning options, and alternative learning pathways. Consequently, they have multiple opportunities to improve the learning process. 5. ### Students have a voice and choice in their learning experience Students have the freedom to decide on various aspects of their learning process. They contribute to the design of learning experiences or pathways. Teachers create opportunities for students to choose how they want to demonstrate mastery of content. They can give them options or even allow them to establish the what, when, and how to show their progress. This facilitates students' agency and contributes to developing 21st-century skills such as taking ownership, adapting, planning, altering, and finally showing their progress.

It communicates progress and achievement to students and their families. In this way, students will also feel less pressure to always get it right as they have the opportunity to go back and redo assignments or submit extra credit work. Grades are not seen as a tool for control or punishment. They are used to facilitate and improve learning. Read more: [Is an LMS the best grading companion for teachers?](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/is-an-lms-the-best-grading-companion-for-teachers/) ## Prerequisites of mastery-based learning implementation Mastery-based learning cannot be successfully used without the following prerequisites: - Purpose - Equity - Inclusivity - Growth mindset - Ownership - Consistency - Transparency - Reliability - Investment - Flexibility - Rigour - Ongoing improvement Schools need a clear vision and purpose when designing the learning experience and giving personalized support. Additionally, they need to ensure [equity](https://www.ednc.org/perspective-reflecting-on-a-decade-of-investments-how-competency-based-education-can-help-north-carolina-achieve-educational-equity/) and inclusivity in their programs so all learners can achieve their learning goals. For the transition from traditional to mastery-based learning to happen, schools need to promote a growth mindset and offer student-centered learning experiences where learners take ownership of their academic development. Therefore, mastery-based learning requires consistency, transparency, and reliability in vision, scope, and purpose, mirrored in the learning experiences they provide. Moreover, there's a need for investment in professional development for teachers if they are to use mastery-based learning successfully. In other words, with mastery-based learning comes a great deal of flexibility, personalized learning and support for each student. However, this does not mean there isn't a high academic rigor involved in the learning process. In effect, the transition to mastery-based learning takes time and ongoing improvement to fit the needs and requirements of each particular school and its students. ## All in all Mastery-based learning is an innovative approach to teaching focused on the learner and designed with the graduate profile in mind. Students' education aligns with the expectations and requirements for higher education and future life and career. This approach uses students' interests to engage them in learning. Moreover, the instruction demonstrates relevance to their lives. In the end, what matters is individual progress and a personalized learning experience for students to truly reach their potential.

Embrace onboarding for better results. [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) ## Onboarding for all backgrounds and needs The start of a new school year is exciting and nerve-wracking for both students and teachers alike. Both teachers and students may struggle to navigate unfamiliar educational situations. Students might grapple with understanding academic expectations, accessing crucial resources, or acclimating to the school's culture. While initial orientation programs are designed to introduce essential information, they often fall short in ensuring comprehensive understanding. Onboarding, however, is a continuous support system for students and teachers throughout the academic year. However, without the right resources, effective onboarding can require considerable time and resources.Are you struggling to… Develop effective onboarding programs without draining significant time and resources Provide a connective hub to foster connection and belonging as students and teachers acclimate Create a program that is standardized enough for consistency but personalized to account for diverse cultural, neurodiversity, and language needs in your teacher and student onboarding Track and measure your onboarding program’s impact to maximize value and make adjustments where necessary ## Onboarding vs. orientation **Orientation**, the more common approach in academic institutions, is vital in introducing teachers and students to their new learning environment. It acquaints new students and teachers with school policies, procedures, and facilities.  However, once the scheduled time lapses, the orientation ends, regardless of whether all initial objectives were met. **Onboarding**, on the other hand, is a more continuous, comprehensive, and individualized process. It not only involves acquainting the new students or employees with the policies and procedures, but it also helps them acclimate to their new setting. It facilitates the development of skills and relationships and ensures a smooth transition into one’s new atmosphere. ## Award-winning platform for education In the past year, we’ve received **over two dozen awards** for our innovative learning technology, including **Forbes Advisor’s** “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “**Best LMS**.” We’ve also received recognition for our work in academia, earning the title of “Best K-12 Remote Learning Partner” in the **SIIA CODiE 2022 Awards** and numerous other awards. [All awards](https://www.cypherlearning.com/awards) ## The benefits of establishing a solid foundation with onboarding Transitioning from basic orientation and into a comprehensive onboarding process can have lasting positive effects on both students and teachers. For both students and teachers, the transition into a new educational environment is pivotal and can affect their personal and professional development. For students, it allows them to adjust to not only academic requirements, but the social and emotional aspects associated with the new stage of their life as well. Onboarding new students can have a massive impact on retention, persistence, and long-term success. Teacher onboarding provides candidates with a solid foundation and can help with everything from acquainting them with basic resources to helping them grow and improve to improving retention rates. According to a 2022 study, [44% of teachers quit](https://www.zippia.com/answers/what-percentage-of-teachers-quit-in-the-first-five-years/?ref=schoolceo.com) in their first five years. However, effective onboarding can [improve retention by 82%](https://b2b-assets.glassdoor.com/the-true-cost-of-a-bad-hire.pdf?ref=schoolceo.com). Overall, embracing a comprehensive onboarding approach fosters a culture of support, growth, and engagement for both students and teachers, ultimately laying the foundation for a successful educational community. ## A modern learning platform for teacher and student onboarding See how the CYPHER platform can help better acquaint teachers and students with their learning environment ### Facilitate connection and inclusivity #### Creating a connective online hub **COLLABORATION TOOLS** Features like forums, chats, and groups facilitate easy communication and collaboration among students and between students and teachers, enhancing the sense of community and peer learning.

The first encounter, the student onboarding process, between the student and college, sets the tone for the future relationship. When it goes wrong, it can contribute to student dropout and dissatisfaction, which are currently skyrocketing in the US and elsewhere. Did you know that [up to 32.9% of students](https://educationdata.org/college-dropout-rates) never complete their degree program, and most of those never complete their first year? In 2020, it was estimated that 39 million Americans started but never finished their degrees. That’s a cost of around $16.5 billion in lost tuition revenue and a massive societal problem. In The College Dropout Scandal, David Kirp outlines the social implications: increased debt, lower career prospects, mental and physical health issues, and disengagement from the local community. Students from ethnic minorities, with disabilities, or from lower-income households are all more likely to drop out. The rising cost of living is only making it worse and leading potential students to skip higher education entirely. ## From student orientation to student onboarding Universities and community colleges know all of this. This is why the student onboarding process is such a big deal, and a lot of effort is put into it. Yet, there remains ample room for improvement. Working in higher education, I have witnessed “orientation” morph into a longer process of onboarding. It’s no longer a matter of supplying students with an overload of information in their first week, it is now an effort to connect students to peers and the culture of their institution. It has become less information and more building community and an approach to student success that works. However, there remains a presumption that the physical onboarding processes are what matters. For on-campus students, this is certainly the most obvious aspect of onboarding (and the most expensive for the institution to produce, thus the focus). However, digital onboarding, especially in the learning management system (LMS) is just as important. If used well, the LMS can be a great tool for creating a smoother onboarding process for all students. ## Why is the student onboarding process so important? Let’s put aside for the moment the statistics dropout rates. These are important, of course, but they are not the only angle. There is much talk in education circles making learning student-centered. The same is true for student onboarding. Colleges that take the time to work with students to consider their goals and link those to their courses are more likely to see students thrive; their choice of study is more likely to be [attuned to their interests](https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/media/k2/attachments/redesigning-community-college-onboarding-guided-pathways.pdf) and ultimate goals. If we want students to thrive, they need more support to make the best choices for them and encouragement to engage in extra-curricular activities. An onboarding process factors in the probability that students will feel overwhelmed and uncertain when they first start and that alienation is a real possibility. A formal process of support that places their career goals and interests at the heart of their choices while also checking if students are adapting to college life allows the college to identify blockages and issues for students before they become a big deal. ## How to use the LMS for a good digital student onboarding experience The LMS is the online hub for students, playing a vital connective role between the institution and the student. It is, therefore, a perfect place for embedding the onboarding process. While an LMS is mostly for class activities and resources, if used well, it can also become a space for nurturing community and belonging. Learning platforms, such as [CYPHER](/academia), are perfect for building good digital onboarding experiences. Here are a few examples of how you might do this: ### Provide a window into the institution The LMS has many features that can help to create a better digital onboarding process for all students, whether or not they are studying in-person, hybrid, or remotely. At its most basic, it is important to provide information and organize an LMS that mirrors how the institution works. Enrolling students in properly populated classes on the LMS allows them to see that structure and view the syllabus, lessons, calendar, and deadlines, which helps the tutor in class planning and supports students in their studies. If associated tools are properly embedded, then students are more likely to understand the LMS as the college's online hub. One example is to add Zoom links in the LMS calendar so students will be able to access sessions immediately. However, they’ll also find other [useful tools such as Turnitin](/blog/k-20/securing-academic-integrity-with-cypher-and-turnitin), emphasizing the importance of academic integrity from the start. Using the LMS as a hub for students helps to build an immediate connection and a sense that the college is well-organized. To properly achieve that aim, the LMS should be customized to fit the institutional color theme, including the logo, and have a welcome banner. These all add to that sense of being part of the institution. ### Get enrollment right This is where things often go wrong. Enrollment issues happen every year as updates and changes to the platforms inevitably bring new challenges. It is important to involve support staff to check for problems, especially in the first few days of enrollment. The key is to do everything we can to ensure student enrollment works smoothly. Again, this is all first impressions. Institutions have many options for enrollment, including sending access codes to students, email invitations, or enrolling them directly into the system using their information. Students can also be added to a waiting list if your courses require them. However, the good part is that students can also buy classes directly from the LMS catalog if your university is using the [e-commerce feature](/tour/e-commerce). ### Use the LMS for connection The LMS is not just an information repository, but a communication tool for professors, students, administrators and other institution staff members. Students can communicate via the LMS using chat, instant messaging, forums, newsfeeds, and groups. They can also add each other as friends, which is a good idea if you want to implement a buddy system in which older students can help new ones during the student onboarding process. It’s best to have all these communication systems in place before students even start, so they’ll be able to ask questions, get help, and connect.

Developing a [personalized learning path](/blog/k-20/intelligent-learning-platform-help-teachers-create-personalized-learning-environment) is a good example. These self-paced learning paths should not just be their field of study but also connect to important information, such as library access, study skills training, information the institution (including its history and values), careers, personal finance tips, and health support. They could contain a fun video in which various departments and instructors introduce themselves, and even tips and tricks navigating the campus, city, or finding the best spots for hanging out.Of course, they shouldn’t be mandatory, but students will surely find them very useful. ### Add a human touch Finally, don’t forget the human touch. An LMS can be a lonely place if it’s not used properly, but adding a touch of ourselves can make a difference. This is one reason why using communication tools is important, but that is not enough. For example, you might organize Alumni talks using forums or Zoom, so that new students can learn from their peers who have already graduated and are set on their career paths. CYPHER takes this a step further with mentorship accounts. Add pre-recorded videos for welcome messages, instructions, or support offerings, to add a human voice to the study material, especially for remote students. Be involved in the class chat and make some time during the first weeks of the semester to have informal conversations via video conferencing — it will make all the difference. ## Creating a smooth student onboarding process The onboarding experience via the LMS offers structure, connection, and information, as well as a means for students to see their learning progress. This is another aspect of online onboarding; the need for it to build a process that is visible and flexible so that it can be used to guide and nurture the student throughout their studies and beyond. Students need to be able to see that they are making progress and understand where to go to get advice and help when things don’t quite work out. If we learned one thing from the pandemic, it is the need to be kinder to each other and extend the same opportunities to remote and hybrid students as we do to in-person ones. An LMS is not a repository, it is an online space for humans to connect. It’s important to think of it this way.

Because the professional development journey begins in those first moments, it’s crucial to set new hires up for eventual success. [New employee onboarding software](/platform) makes that long-distance goal an achievable reality. Plus, when you know that onboarding has massive potential for influencing revenue growth (up to [60% higher earnings potential](https://www.hrcloud.com/blog/employee-onboarding-statistics-you-must-know-in-#:~:text=an%20imminent%20resignation.-,Onboarding%20Statistics%3A%20Businesses%20With%20Organized%20Onboarding%20Have%20a%rease,work%20for%20the%20company%27s%20benefit) at companies with great onboarding processes), investing in the right solution is a given. When an organization prioritizes new employee training and leverages an [award-winning learning platform](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-employee-training-software/), it’s easier to retain new hires and keep them engaged. In this post, we’ll explore employee onboarding software from every angle so that you can better understand features, benefits, and strategy. ## What is employee onboarding software? Employee onboarding software encompasses a suite of tools that employers can use to educate, instruct, and equip new team members. The learning experience is digital, offering employees a way to learn through flexible online formats. Employee onboarding software helps employers meet specific requirements related to training and hiring since it automates how companies welcome new team members and bring them up to speed with company policies, cultural information, and technical help. Bringing recruits on board with proven software enables an easier transition as new employees seamlessly integrate into the organization, connect with peers and managers, and find their footing in important new roles. ## Benefits of employee onboarding software Employees’ first impressions matter. So it goes without saying that creating a fresh onboarding experience has multiple advantages. When employers leverage onboarding and training software efficiently, current staff members save more time and effort. From improved administrative processes to financial savings, everyone stands to gain when organizations invest in better onboarding experiences. Let’s take a look at the many ways that your team could benefit. ### Provide a consistent experience to all parties One of the greatest selling points for employee onboarding software is that it helps employers deliver on-brand consistency. When you delegate onboarding tasks to individual managers or department leaders, you run the risk of having disjointed training experiences. And despite their best efforts, different leaders might not always stay “on brand” with corporate values or messaging as they instruct and guide new team members. Productivity requires consistent information, and that begins with the quality of training material that teams receive. With [online onboarding programs like CYPHER](/resources/brochures/business/online-onboarding-programs-post-pandemic), organizations eliminate the guesswork and produce exceptional curriculum that’s trustworthy and unique. ### Manage compliance concerns Employee onboarding software also helps companies fill in compliance-related gaps, respond to regulatory guidelines, and take action on legal implications. Even though compliance issues vary by industry, it’s likely that most businesses have some of these needs that they can address during the employee onboarding process. Examples of training information related to compliance include: - [OSHA standards](https://www.osha.gov) and workplace safety requirements - Sexual harassment, assault, or discrimination policies - Customer identity and confidentiality - Data privacy and protection (in light of regulations such as GDPR) ### Free up time and resources for instructional staff members With instructor-led onboarding processes, employers always need an instructional team member to take the reins. And if an organization is particularly crunched for training time or resources, this requirement can be a huge setback. Onboarding software delivers a digital, personalized experience that’s perfect for teams that want (or need) to devote important resources elsewhere. With asynchronous learning options, employees are able to learn at their own pace. ### Reduce onboarding costs Not surprisingly, when businesses lack productive onboarding processes, they’re more likely to incur expenses later on. These costs are often associated with rehiring and recruitment, since [employee turnover costs corporations millions](/resources/brochures/business/employee-retention) of dollars annually. According to the [Society for Human Resources Management](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/talent-acquisition/pages/dont-underestimate-the-importance-of-effective-onboarding.aspx) (SHRM), “69 percent of employees are more likely to stay with a company for three years if they experienced great onboarding.” There’s a direct link between onboarding and retention, which means that companies save on costs in the long run. Moreover, when teams use onboarding systems that are intuitive and efficient, they don’t have to waste resources on labor-intensive development. By using a powerful platform like CYPHER, business leaders get [training modules up and running in as little as ten minutes](/why-cypher). ## Features to look for in modern employee onboarding platforms Why should teams explore the use of employee onboarding software? In addition to the benefits above, a post-pandemic job climate demands new approaches to learning and training. **Workers have diverse onboarding expectations, and employers must be willing to invest in personalized and creative options.** Additionally, there’s an emotional and motivational element to onboarding that people-centric teams never overlook. As workers desire to engage with their employers on a deeper level, the right platforms and features make those dreams a reality. As you explore onboarding options, consider the following tools, features, and selling points. ### 1. Automated onboarding tasks Does your onboarding software enable employee onboarding within minutes? Do automated features make the employee experience more collaborative and engaging? If not, it’s time to look for a platform that offers [automation as part of the onboarding experience](/tour/automation). With hands-on automation and gamification settings in CYPHER, instructors are able to trigger specific actions when learners complete tasks. This makes it easier to work with entire groups of students, move learners through key pathways, and award points based on progress or completion. Plus, automation keeps employees on the move, so there’s less wasted time and confusion (on both sides) what happens next in the learning process. **Bonus tip:** CYPHER is the only learning platform with platform-wide automation. This means that you can easily include gamification, support crucial skills development, measure competency and mastery, and generate a first-rate onboarding experience every time. ### 2. Employee compliance pathways Although most companies have a legal obligation to provide [employee compliance training](/blog/business/how-to-ensure-compliance-in-the-workplace), the experience doesn’t have to be dull and boring. Innovative onboarding platforms can (and should) meet compliance demands without skimping on proactive engagement. Find a platform that promotes employee skill development through proven learning paths. Compliance features should give companies the ability to personalize the courses that are required for compliance and to deliver a unique experience, regardless of the subject matter. Because various departments also follow different governing regulations, customizable learning pathways ensure that the right people receive relevant compliance material when they need it most. ### 3. Mentorship and coaching To create a company culture of continuous learning, companies must prioritize mutually beneficial relationships from the get go. Introducing the concept of mentorship during onboarding or initial training is a great way to welcome new hires to the company and invest in their long-term career goals. Modern LMS platforms offer features for mentorship through training. A suitable software includes tools like web conferencing, real-time chat, and document sharing to make the conversations between mentors and mentees easier and more productive. ### 4. Branded portal for employees and teams A learning portal delivers a highly accessible and unique experience for new employees within the onboarding process. The portal is different from the entire learning management system (LMS) platform in that individual learners log in and access information that’s just for them. (And with CYPHER, it’s easy to [brand the portal experience](/tour/ui-and-ux) and make adjustments to online course content, announcements, and events.) A portal feature is especially beneficial during employee onboarding because new hires are still getting up to speed with corporate logins, credentials, and expectations. By sending them to a personalized portal, newer team members have direct access to the content they need for learning and development without having to jump through multiple hoops or search in separate places for training materials. ### 5. Insightful reporting and analytics Without access to data and analytics, it’s impossible to know whether your onboarding materials fulfill their true purpose. Not to mention, real-time reports allow you to see where learners are on their personalized roadmaps. Look for an onboarding platform that offers the ability to look under the hood at any time. Not only does this data give instructors the chance to measure success, but it’s also valuable for communicating transparently with stakeholders. **Pro Tip:** [CYPHER’s reporting features](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) include canned reports, ad-hoc reporting, and graphical analytics for key areas of the LMS. Place more control into the hands of course leaders, and get access to the data that matters for future progress. ### 6. User-friendly interface A user-friendly interface isn’t just making the process feel or look more impressive. By giving new hires a carefully curated experience, better design also minimizes the learning curve for trainees. This feature is especially helpful when new employees aren’t tech-savvy. When a learning platform offers [enhanced user experience](/tour/ui-and-ux) (UX), teams increase adoption rates and decrease the likelihood of frustration. That’s a winning combination, especially when it’s so vital that employees learn and retain the information they receive during onboarding. User-friendly platforms also tend to be more flexible when it comes to redesigning certain elements of courses, making changes to programs and pathways, or releasing new requirements to learners at a later time. ## Top implementation tips for new employee onboarding software Once you’ve selected an employee onboarding software, move toward protecting that investment. A strategic approach to implementation ensures that the product does what it promises—and that everyone reaps the knowledge and rewards. **Here are a few ways that you can build trust and confidence when you make the switch to employee onboarding software.** ### Involve key stakeholders To experience the highest success rate, you need buy-in. And to get that support, communicating with any key stakeholders from HR, IT, and relevant departments is the right move. Include these voices in the decision-making process so that you can hear multiple perspectives. Use this initial time to gather input, create a list of needs or expectations, and address relevant concerns. Because key players often have in-depth questions the overall investment and strategy, come prepared with reasons why a more modern onboarding process is the right choice for solving known pain points. ### Construct a comprehensive onboarding strategy Outline the critical steps, timelines, and responsibilities to achieve new onboarding goals. Aim to identify potential roadblocks, and predict how to mitigate them. It’s easy to state the possibilities of what a modern LMS can do—especially when it comes to getting new employees up and running faster and reducing the “learning to productivity” ratio. But these results always need to align with the big picture. Think your corporate culture, stretch goals, and overall mission or values statement. How does your selected onboarding program support those things so that everyone wins? ### Customize the curriculum Whether the topic is onboarding or employee relations, personalization is the secret to success. Customization builds personal connection throughout the organization, and it reinforces an employer’s brand goals, mission, and values. To accelerate onboarding software adoption, make the training experience specific to individual teams and role assignments. Demonstrate the connection between corporate business goals and individual employee contributions so that individuals know how much their work matters. Where possible, [use integrations](/tour/integrations) for greater customization and connection. ### Test or run a pilot program As a general rule, always test and quality check your learning setup prior to launch. A pilot onboarding program allows you to get measurable results from a controlled environment. This means that you can spot red flags and fix issues before the new initiative goes live. With a test group of participants, ask for honest feedback the overall experience, and explore whether any changes would help. Remember—the more buy-in you have up front, the easier it is to experience successful onboarding over the course of several years. ### Launch with clear communication Always set clear expectations regarding the use of new onboarding and training software. Verbalize how these new tools and features will simplify the onboarding process and give new hires better results—both in their first few weeks and in their future career. If participants have questions, explain how to find answers. Will you include feedback or support channels? Proactively eliminate bottlenecks and offset potential problems. Don’t forget that onboarding is only one part of training—perhaps just the first step in a longer journey. To generate excitement, communicate future possibilities like continuing education, career advancement training, certification, and in-depth product upskilling. (There’s also extended enterprise training that includes partner, customer, and contractor or vendor training). ### Adapt and pivot as needed Companies must redirect their approach to new employee onboarding software as they manage tech advancements, remote work trends, and shifting employee expectations. These factors demand a dynamic onboarding process that includes thinking outside of the box. Companies that fail to integrate personalized learning run the risk of hindering [employee engagement](/blog/business/employee-onboarding-reimagined), productivity, and retention. Plus, as compliance regulations change, an agile onboarding system ensures legal adherence and minimizes risk. Business leaders must keep tabs on where, when, and how these broad changes require internal redirection. When organizations are adaptive, this also fosters inclusivity, accommodates diverse learning styles, and caters to a globally dispersed workforce. Flexibility also helps attract and retain top performers, while giving companies a competitive edge in the modern workforce. ### Does your employee onboarding need an upgrade? If your organization has struggled to introduce positive changes to the onboarding process, now is the time to incorporate digital onboarding into your team culture. CYPHER Learning helps learning and development (L&D) professionals, Human Resources (HR) leaders, and corporate trainers expand their resources and incorporate human connection into every single milestone. **We believe that delivering tailored learning experiences (that are meaningful and measurable) shouldn’t feel impossible.** Get access to easy-to-use, award-winning online [training programs for your new employees](/solutions/employee-training).

CYPHER offers [expert design consulting services](/support-and-services). 2 Creating admin / instructor accounts **20 minutes**. This is usually easily done using our web form option for creating accounts. We also support many other kinds of account creation, such as API, LDAP, email invitations, or bulk import. 3 Creating content for courses **1 - 4 hours per module**. This is the most time intensive part of implementation and depends on whether you want to upload your own content or create new content. Our authoring tools make it easy to customize courses. Or use [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) to create a course in minutes - upload your own content or create courses based on content from the Internet! 4 Creating assessments for courses **1 hour per assessment**. [All types of assessments](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation) can be created easily. Comprehensive randomized quizzes that select from a question bank can take a little longer. Or use [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) to add assessments in minutes! 5 Beta testing the courses **1 day per course on average**. This depends on the complexity of the course. You show it to a small sample of users and then adjust it based on their recommendations where possible. 6 Configuring the course catalog **20 minutes**. This simply requires selecting from several layout options. We recommend using attractive pictures for each catalog category, which can easily be purchased from a stock photo site. 7 Creating student accounts **30 minutes if using a bulk upload**. We also support many other kinds of account creation, such as self sign-up, email invitations, API, LDAP, and purchasing a course via our e-commerce system. ## Optional steps 1 Creating skills / competencies for each course - recommended **1 - 3 per course**. You can create your own skills / competencies in CYPHER, choose from 5,000+ pre-loaded skills, or upload your own. Tag course content with the skills it should be teaching and assessing or use [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) to automatically create and map skills to assessments to gamification. 2 Creating learning paths **30 minutes per learning path**. Paths are courses that can have goals as sections, where each goal can represent another course or a certificate. Adding a path is fairly easy, with just a few options to configure. 3 Configuring e-commerce **30 minutes**. Select your desired payment gateway and set prices for your courses. You can also create coupons, discount codes, bundles, subscriptions, and even sell digital media items. 4 Configuring single-sign on **15 minutes** if using Google Workspace SSO, Auth0 or Microsoft 365. **1 hour** if using LDAP/Active Directory, which requires knowledge of LDAP and the ability to configure your LDAP system to be securely accessed by CYPHER. If you want to set up custom SSO, then this requires developer skills in the language of the site you wish to integrate with. ## Resources [CYPHER Implementation services Brochure](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/brochures/implementation-services) [Typical steps in a CYPHER implementation For business](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/brochures/business/typical-steps-in-a-cypher-implementation) [Typical steps in a CYPHER implementation For academia](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/brochures/academia/typical-steps-in-a-cypher-implementation) --- ## Infographic: Effective e-learning strategy » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/academia/ways-in-which-an-lms-is-central-to-an-effective-e-learning-strategy **Last Modified:** 2025-01-27 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For academia # 6 Ways in which an LMS is central to an effective e-learning strategy The negative aspects of the pandemic are unquestionable. However, we now have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make things better: to design an **improved education system**. The only thing to keep in mind is that the mere presence of edtech in schools doesn’t guarantee anything. The real indicator of successful outcomes is **how schools use edtech**. A **learning management system (LMS)** is one of the most **comprehensive edtech solutions** that educational institutions can rely on when creating a future-proof educational strategy. Here’s how: 1. ### Centralize all learning resources Educators use the school LMS as a **central repository** for learning materials. Each teacher can upload, update, and reuse any digital file type (text, audio, video, graphic, weblink, etc.) in their lessons. These resources can be **shared with other teachers** within the same school or the school district as a bonus. 2. ### Increase student engagement Students have different learning needs, but they **learn better** when they’re interested in a particular topic. Teachers can include **diverse learning materials** in their online lessons and make **learning more interactive** with collaboration tools. They can also include gamified elements, such as points, badges, and leaderboards. 3. ### Provide personalized recommendations Student progress is unique to each individual, but there are many students and so little time. An LMS can **ease teacher workload** through **automation**. For example, a teacher can receive a notification when a student struggles with a particular concept in a lesson and **intervene with extra resources** or guidance. 4. ### Provide more accurate evaluations Assessing student knowledge is one of the most **time-consuming tasks** for a teacher. That’s why educators can create many assessment types in an LMS, not just quizzes. Teachers can even **differentiate assignments** for each student. All of this, coupled with a clear picture of a student’s progress, makes the **evaluation process** far more accurate. 5. ### Centralize all student data An LMS gathers **student data**, and it can even incorporate information from third-party tools. Having all student data in one place offers a bird’s-eye view of the students’ **overall performance**. Teachers and school leaders can make more **informed decisions** regarding individual students and the entire school. 6. ### Extend learning beyond the classroom With an internet connection and a device, teachers and students **engage in regular activities**, almost just as they would in the physical classroom. Whether this is an independent decision or mandated by the government, having access to an LMS as a **distance learning platform** ensures **learning continuity**. Learning doesn’t have to be confined within the four walls of the classroom. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

Now is the right time for knowledge entrepreneurs to choose the most profitable e-learning business model. You can teach almost anything online, from foreign languages to graphic design, fitness, or cooking courses. Are you good at something and genuinely passionate helping others learn more? So why not maximize your earnings while doing so? First, you need to choose your e-learning business model. There are three main choices, which we will explore in-depth. Then, we’ll see how a [learning management system](/business) (LMS)’s e-commerce feature can support your e-learning business. ## What is an e-learning business model? An e-learning business model is the method through which you sell courses online. It is the framework you’ll rely on to create and promote online courses as well as generate revenue. You’re probably already familiar with the e-learning business models we will soon discuss, such as the **subscription business model**, in which people pay a monthly or yearly fee to access educational content. But that’s not all! There are two more e-learning business models that you should know – **the night-school model** and **the combined model**. Let’s see what each means and what it can do for you. ## What types of e-learning business models are there? There are three types of business models for online courses. Each one can help you implement a successful online business. Knowing the differences between them will help you build a profitable and scalable business. ### The night school model This is one of the oldest models, first used for in-person courses and inspired by night classes for people who couldn’t attend during the day. These allowed working students to get their degrees or upgrade their skills. Community colleges offer these types of courses. However, things changed over the past two decades due to technological advancements. This teaching model was adapted to the online environment. Learners who seek to [upskill themselves](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/digital-upskilling-adults-vivek-ahuja-pmp/) or get an online degree can benefit from the night school model. The online night school model is ideal for the same category of individuals – people who can only learn during their spare time. They can access courses anytime, from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. As a course creator, there are several circumstances in which you might want to consider the night school model: - **You’ve just started:** you want to test the market, and you’re not a hundred percent sure who your target audience is yet. This model is flexible and allows you to easily track your progress by using e-commerce features and asking for learner feedback; - **You don’t have a lot of time:** most online instructors start their e-learning entrepreneurship journey as a part-time gig. Having another job means less time spent on creating and marketing courses. The night model might suit you in this case as it allows you to create the online courses and simply charge each time you sell an online course. You don’t have to invest more time and effort in supporting learners or upgrading the course content; - **You want a passive income source:** the night business model is the best option if you’re looking for a way to generate revenue from your courses with minimum intervention. Whether you use engaging video courses or rely on written presentations, you only spend time creating the course once. The night school model’s advantages are: - **High profitability:** you can charge as much as you want for a course and have a passive income source; - **Lower costs:** you can control how much you spend, especially if you focus on a written format combined with limited photo and video content. However, note that video content is the most engaging and isn’t cheap to make; - **Suited for a large audience:** you can target a wide audience. For example, through cooking classes, you could sell content for any cuisine type or skill level. With foreign language courses, you can target learners from beginner to advanced levels. ### The academy model The academy model is a subscription-based model that allows knowledge entrepreneurs to offer a more comprehensive educational experience. At its core, it functions as an online academy through which you don’t just sell online courses but also interact with learners and provide more support. Usually, this business model involves a variety of learning resources in different formats. Learners can browse through your course catalog and pick the more suitable ones. Besides self-paced online courses and other digital learning products, this model often involves group or one-on-one sessions where learners can talk to the instructor directly, attend webinars, coaching and mentorship programs or participate in Q&A sessions. The academy model offers a more personalized learning experience. The academy model’s advantages are: - **A relatively stable source of revenue:** You can configure [different subscription types](/tour/e-commerce) (e.g., monthly, yearly, etc.), which makes it easier to anticipate future income based on the number of subscribers; - **Higher learner engagement:** Selling courses is one thing, but engaging with learners is a different way of doing business, one that boosts profitability in the long run; - **Customer retention and increased customer lifetime value:** learners who already enjoyed your courses are more likely to purchase a new one in the future. Returning customers are the most valuable ones; - **Increased scalability and profitability:** an online academy is a more complex e-learning business. Therefore, it can be more lucrative. You can offer lots of types of learning content and develop your business in several directions. For example, you can collaborate with other course creators and sell e-books; - **Ideal for niche experts:** this business model allows you to offer a wide array of learning materials and go as in-depth as you want to. Thus, you can target more ambitious learners committed to taking different learning opportunities. It is the best e-learning model for niche experts. ### The combined model This business model combines the academy and the night school models. As such, it offers two options. People can pay a subscription to access your content. Alternatively, they can buy just one course. The combined model may be the best option if you’re new to the e-learning industry. It will allow you to experiment and decide which one of the two other models is best for you. Usually, course creators who use this model rely mostly on the academy framework and simply add the one-time payment option to attract learners to sample their work. Then, if learners are satisfied and want more, you can also sell them the subscription option. The combined model’s advantages are: - **The highest level of flexibility:** this model allows you to make the best of both worlds and experiment with the night school and academy models. In many cases, offering a subscription plan and one-time-fee courses simultaneously has the best ROI; - **The largest audience:** by combining the night school and the academy business models, you target both learners who look for subscriptions and those who are only willing to pay once for a course; - **The possibility to constantly upgrade and scale:** the combined model allows you to grow your business by constantly adding new materials. You can offer online courses, webinars, e-books, other types of digital downloads, or live sessions on a one-time fee basis. ## How to choose the best e-learning business model Start by defining your buyer persona and you will find the best format for your online courses. Besides demographics and interest-related factors, their income level will also influence your final decision. For example, if you target college students, they might not have the financial resources to invest in a long-term subscription plan. They might be looking for a relevant course that tackles a specific need, has a limited duration, and requires a one-time payment or a monthly subscription plan that they can cancel anytime. Your audience’s commitment is also important. Some course creators aim to keep their learners hooked in the long term, but others focus on concise courses that learners can complete in a few days or weeks. Your commitment is also important. Do you have the time to offer direct support? Will you personally review their assessments or offer one-on-one coaching sessions? If yes, you will probably want to use the academy or combined model. Before you choose an e-learning business model for your courses, also make sure you understand your competitors and your competitive advantages. Carry out a competitive analysis for your e-learning business to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. Based on this analysis, you’ll find it easier to choose the best model. ## How an LMS supports any type of e-learning business model An LMS is a platform where knowledge entrepreneurs can [create, market, sell courses](/resources/brochures/business/create-market-sell-courses-on-the-cypher-platform), and interact with learners. These are the main [LMS features](/business/features) that can benefit course creators. We’ve chosen the features based on the three e-learning business models, but most of them can be used interchangeably. ### 1. Features for the night school model The night school model is supported by the following LMS features: - **One-time payment options:** when a new learner wants to access your course, they can buy it from your website. Once the purchase is registered, the person has access to that particular online course. Learners are automatically enrolled and they’re on their own; - **Bundles and digital media:** LMSs allow you to sell different course bundles, which are just a combination of two or more online courses. Additionally, add a few digital media items such as e-books or worksheets to the bundle to make it more attractive. Site visitors can browse through your catalog and pick the courses, digital media, or bundles that interest them; - **Coupons and bulk discounts:** these [LMS features](/tour/e-commerce) allow you to engage your audience through different discounts. Coupons are easy to add and configure. You’re free to change the discount amount and personalize it based on the type of learner you’re targeting. You can also add a bulk discount to a user’s entire shopping cart based on how many items they purchase or their value; - **Certificates and quizzes:** learners might want to evaluate their newly acquired skills. You can use [awesome quizzes for online courses](/tour/assessment-and-evaluation) that automatically enable them to test their knowledge. To make the experience more fun, add [gamification elements](/tour/gamification), such as points and badges. In the end, you can also award them course certificates which learners can receive automatically. ### 2. Features for the academy model The academy model is supported by these LMS features: - **Subscriptions:** there are many benefits to creating a membership website for your e-learning business. You can allow learners to choose from different subscription plans and price each one according to its features. You can even have a free subscription plan that counts as a trial version of your membership website; - **Various payment options:** users who buy subscriptions might look for payment flexibility. LMSs support this need by allowing you to add different payment options from the platform’s payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, PayU, etc.); - **Automation:** to keep your learners in the loop, you don’t have to communicate with them individually. An LMS allows you to set up automatic notifications. Thus, you can send messages to promote the latest additions to your catalog or your offers. [Automation](/tour/automation) is also key to evaluating your learners’ progress and rewarding them for completing modules through gamification, so essentially the platform gives them that feedback that they need without your direct intervention; - **Communication tools:** remember that this model is a bit more hands-on so chat, groups and forums are a great way to interact with your learners directly and offer your encouragement, tips and other services such as remote coaching. ### 3. Features for the combined model The combined e-learning business model benefits from all the e-commerce and automation features an LMS can offer. - **Both one-time payments and subscriptions:** you can blend the two payment models if you opt for the combined framework and allow customers to choose; - **Complex bundles:** you can sell bundles of courses and bundles that also include digital media. Having a variety of offers [supports your upselling efforts](/tour/e-commerce); - **Learning analytics:** are essential for any online business. [LMS analytics](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) allow you to figure out how successful and profitable your business is and make data-driven decisions. Also, LMSs offer a variety of website revenue reports. The data is displayed in a user-friendly format (graphs, tables, charts), and you get to customize the reports; - **Marketing features:** LMSs have a robust set of marketing tools that allow you to promote your online business. For example, you can create affiliate programs and reward influencers or learners with a commission every time they bring in a new customer. ## Choose the best e-learning business model for you Choosing the best e-learning business model requires time and research. It’s important to know that there are three main models (academic, night school, and combined) that work in different situations and have various advantages. No matter which one you choose, an LMS will support you through e-commerce tools that allow you to sell one learning product at a time, create bundles or subscription plans, offer discounts, and so much more.

El estudio *"[El verdadero costo de los infractores de compliance en el lugar de trabajo](/resources/research/business/the-true-cost-of-rule-breakers-in-workplace-compliance)*" se basó en una investigación realizada a 400 líderes de recursos humanos y empresariales de varios países. El 88% de los encuestados coincide en que una mayor responsabilidad por parte de los empleados reduciría los riesgos empresariales. Sin embargo, el 71% cree que los trabajadores no comprenden la importancia de las políticas y procedimientos, lo que hace que lograr su cumplimiento sea un desafío constante. Entre los hallazgos clave se encuentran: - El 71% cree que es probable que el personal incumpla las reglas, especialmente en áreas como recursos humanos, intercambio de datos, salud y seguridad. - El 98% considera que los empleados serían más propensos a cumplir las políticas y los procedimientos si la capacitación fuera más atractiva, pero el 87% se enfrenta a obstáculos como la falta de tiempo y recursos para hacerlo. - A pesar de la necesidad de mantener actualizadas las políticas y procedimientos, el 74% de las organizaciones no encuentran tiempo para hacerlo. Graham Glass, CEO de CYPHER Learning, dijo:"Desde cambios en las regulaciones hasta la introducción de nuevas tecnologías, lo que fue aceptable un año puede no serlo al siguiente. Es difícil mantenerse al día. Pero la falta de cumplimiento de políticas de *compliance* puede resultar rápidamente en daño a la reputación, lesiones, multas, pérdida de ingresos, reducción de la productividad o incluso acciones legales. Estos costos son solo la punta del iceberg. Las infracciones de políticas pueden manifestarse de varias formas que pasan desapercibidas y erosionan los ingresos". Uno de los problemas destacados por la investigación fue la falta de inversión y enfoque en hacer que la capacitación sobre políticas y procedimientos sea más atractiva. Menos de la mitad (44%) de los presupuestos asignados a políticas y procedimientos se destinan a la educación de los empleados, lo que equivale a solo $105,000 dólares al año en promedio. Mientras tanto, el 66% de los encuestados admitió que la capacitación del personal suele ser una idea secundaria, y el 62% se quejó de que la capacitación en esta área es "una de las cosas más aburridas" que tienen que hacer. La investigación también mostró que: - Las actualizaciones por correo electrónico y los boletines de la empresa (47%) son las formas más comunes en que los empleados se informan sobre las políticas y procedimientos. - Menos de la mitad (45%) de las empresas realizan capacitación en línea. Menos aún (31%) crean videos explicativos o experiencias de capacitación interactivas y gamificadas (26%) para que el mensaje llegue a casa. - Solo el 56% de las empresas capacitan continuamente a los empleados sobre políticas, y el 65% admite tratar la capacitación como un "volcado de información único" durante el proceso de incorporación. - Menos de la mitad de las empresas encuestadas (44%) evalúan el conocimiento de los empleados para asegurarse de que hayan comprendido completamente un procedimiento, o los educan sobre el propósito de cada política para facilitar la comprensión (45%). - Incluso menos (37%) adaptan la orientación a las competencias individuales y los roles laborales para garantizar la relevancia. Graham Glass, CEO of CYPHER Learning: "Reducir el riesgo empresarial y aumentar la participación de los empleados van de la mano. Se ha demostrado que hacer que el aprendizaje sea más interactivo y atractivo aumenta la retención de información y la participación. Sin embargo, encontrar tiempo y recursos para pensar creativamente en políticas y procedimientos es un desafío. Aquí es donde la inteligencia artificial puede aliviar la carga, ayudando a los equipos a crear cursos oportunos, relevantes y atractivos a gran velocidad, al mismo tiempo que hace que el aprendizaje individual a gran escala sea una realidad. Al cerrar brechas de habilidades y recursos, la IA puede brindar a los equipos más tiempo, más recursos y más libertad, con una eficiencia y economía notables".

Ranked with large businesses and organizations in mind, CYPHER stands out as an excellent tool for employee training and development, especially considering features such as user management, course creation and cataloging, online delivery of content, performance tracking and reporting.

What’s better, webinars are a great way of connecting with people, gaining their trust, and **building credibility for your brand**. Webinars are right up your alley since you can give potential learners a taste of what you are offering, and make them curious to learn more. That being said, there are some **common mistakes** that happen all the time when people are just starting out, or don’t have much experience. Here’s what to avoid in order to **host awesome webinars**: 1. ### Picking a boring topic Here’s the truth webinars: the [average attendance](https://www.on24.com/resources/assets/report-webinar-benchmarks-2019/) rate is around 46%. Picking a **boring topic** is the capital sin of most webinars. If you are not sure what potential learners want, try to source ideas from forums such as Reddit, talk to people in the industry, or have a look at what your competitors are doing. 2. ### Starting a bad partnership Recording a webinar together with someone else is a great idea. However, not all partnerships are good partnerships, no matter how much you like the other business or entrepreneur. You need to make sure that you are following your own objectives and that the **partnership is a win-win situation**. 3. ### Letting tech issues ruin the webinar Even before people appear online on your screen, you need to make sure that the entire **experience of signing up and attending is seamless**. To prevent technical issues you will have to choose a webinar platform that is responsive, secure, offers quality audio and video and also doesn’t require users to go through many steps to sign in. 4. ### Choosing the wrong format The most common format options for webinars are **product demo, Q&A, masterclass, panel, workshop**. Generally speaking, there’s no such thing as the “wrong format”, it’s more picking the right format for your audience. If your potential clients are very busy people who don’t have the patience to listen to a lecture, be sure that they will click the X button halfway through the presentation. 5. ### Bad timing Statistics show that [mornings](https://medium.com/@BigMarker/12-webinar-statistics-you-need-to-know-b3e28b275abe) **are best for hosting webinars** since most people prefer to attend at 10 or 11AM. Tuesdays are also a good time to schedule them as Mondays and Fridays keep them occupied with other tasks. Of course, there is a great alternative for people that still want to participate, but have no time: **on-demand webinars**. 6. ### Not promoting it enough [59% of registrations](https://blog.gotomeeting.com/7-webinar-benchmarks-every-marketer-should-know/) happen less than a week before the webinar. Why? People procrastinate because webinars are a time commitment. So, **start promoting it on time**, at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to the event and increase your marketing efforts in the week leading to the webinar.

Even so, teaching financial concepts (and keeping up with a tumultuous market) can seem daunting. Schools and other learning and development institutions can create programs to help students–both young and old–better understand the basics of financial management. Whether you're an instructor, an HR professional, or a business leader, incorporating engaging and interactive financial training methods can help students understand how to approach realistic financial scenarios that could impact them for decades. To help you maximize your financial literacy training, we’ve rounded up 12 of the best financial games for all types of learners this year. ## 12 Financial literacy games to jumpstart learning Games designed for financial literacy provide students of all ages with a fun and practical way to learn financial health and stability. (Not to mention, [gamification](/tour/gamification) makes any money-related concept more memorable!) In this roundup, we’ve divided our categories into financial literacy games for adults and younger K-12 or high school students. If you’re an instructor serving one group or the other, this list will help you choose a platform that caters to your specific audience. ### Financial literacy games for adults Financial literacy games for adults and older students introduce essential financial concepts. They can also encourage adults to make important lifestyle changes to pave the way for healthier, more sustainable financial futures. Market Watch reports that only [57% of Americans are financially literate](https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/banking/financial-literacy-statistics/#:~:text=By%20the%20time%20you%27re,of%20financial%20numbers%20and%20strategies.), highlighting the importance of financial education for adults.

Learners can also use assessments to answer the top question: “How Money Smart Are You?” There are also resources for teaching, guiding children to financial literacy, and joining the FDIC’s Money Smart Alliance. #### 2. Financial Football [Financial Football](https://www.financialfootball.com/) is an engaging and competitive game developed by Visa.

Players answer financial questions to advance down the field and score important “financial” touchdowns. It's an excellent tool for adults who want to brush up on their financial knowledge in a fun and interactive way (with plenty of sports metaphors to make it fun). #### 3. Time for Payback [Time for Payback](https://www.timeforpayback.com/) is a game that simulates the financial decisions students must make to manage college life and beyond. Players have a chance to make choices student loans, part-time jobs, and living expenses, all while trying to graduate without excessive debt. This is an ideal game for young adults preparing to navigate post-college life. #### 4. SPENT [SPENT](https://playspent.org/html/) is a powerful online game that puts players in the scenario of living paycheck-to-paycheck. The game presents realistic scenarios that require tough financial decisions, highlighting the struggles many individuals face as they juggle responsibilities and lower incomes.

Their key educational objectives include: Promote critical thinking and a forward-looking vision, develop socio-emotional competencies for responsible citizenship, encourage active and autonomous learning for holistic development, foster interdisciplinary collaboration through Project-Based Learning (PBL), and develop technological and digital skills to face global challenges. “Our mission is to provide children and young people with a comprehensive education that enables them to develop their potential while fostering in them the pride and commitment that is essential in strengthening our country.” Gabriela Gutiérrez Plascencia, Dirección Innovación INDUSTRY K-12 COUNTRY Mexico SIZE Medium Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Looking for an LMS that tailors course content to the specific needs of each student - Prioritized platforms with access to advanced metrics and analytics - Needed a solution that is scalable to support school growth Instituto Cenca needed an LMS that could customize course content to fit the specific needs of each student, ensuring a more personalized learning experience. They also sought platforms that provided advanced metrics and analytics, allowing for detailed insights into student progress and performance. At the same time, the institution required a scalable solution to accommodate future growth, ensuring that their educational model could expand smoothly as the school continued to grow. ## The solution - High quality, digital learning for all ages (K-12) - Educational processes that are more dynamic and student-centered - CYPHER Agent features improving overall engagement By implementing CYPHER Learning, Instituto Cenca addressed its core challenges, such as improving learning personalization and scaling its educational model effectively. The platform’s real-time analytics and tailored approach have not only enhanced the overall educational process, but also boosted student outcomes. Since using CYPHER, our educational model has become more dynamic and student-centered. Initially, there was a perception that an LMS was exclusively for higher education. However, Cenca broke this paradigm by integrating CYPHER Learning to **provide all its students**— from preschool, elementary, middle, to high school—with a **high-quality digital learning experience**. By adopting the platform, the institute has delivered a **fully digital educational experience to 100% of its students, tailored to their individual learning needs and paces** across different levels. This implementation facilitated access to interactive content and integrated gamification tools into classrooms, making learning more engaging and dynamic. Instituto Cenca also used CYPHER Agent to boost student engagement with interactive learning modules and personalized skills tracking. With real-time feedback and tailored learning pathways, students are able to progress at their own pace. Data-driven insights also enabled educators to refine teaching strategies and better support individual student growth. “CYPHER Learning addressed Instituto Cenca's main challenges by improving learning personalization, providing real-time analytics, and enabling effective scalability of the educational model. This optimized the educational process, offered a more tailored education to each student's needs, improved overall results, and supported the institution's growth.” Gabriela Gutiérrez Plascencia, Dirección Innovación ## The results - 25% increased engagement and digital participation - 35% overall academic improvement - Improvements in the core competencies of their learning model Since implementing the CYPHER platform, we have observed significant improvements in students’ skills, competencies, and knowledge retention, particularly in the five key competencies of the Cenca educational model: critical thinking, communication, innovation, teamwork, and research. - **Critical thinking**: CYPHER enables students to develop analysis and reflection skills - **Communication**: The platform facilitates constant interaction between students and teachers - **Innovation**: CYPHER introduces modern pedagogical methodologies and digital resources - **Teamwork**: Collaborative activities and group projects are fostered - **Research**: CYPHER provides tools and resources for accessing up-to-date information Our students’ experience with the platform has been overwhelmingly positive. They find CYPHER makes learning more interesting and fun, particularly through interactive and personalized activities. Teachers appreciate the tracking tools, which allow them to adjust teaching methods based on student progress. Additionally, consolidating academic, behavioral, and attendance data in one platform has improved productivity for reporting purposes. We have also seen measurable improvements in the following areas: - **Increase in digital participation**: Student **engagement increased by 25%** in courses that incorporate interactive and personalized elements, leading to greater commitment and motivation. - **Improved academic performance measurement**: Academic performance measurement **improved by 35%** due to the platform's ability to conduct both group and personalized assessments, enabling more precise tracking tailored to each student's needs. - **Enhancements in annual course creation**: 100% of teachers developed their own courses with CYPHER Agent for the 2024-2025 cycle, a significant improvement compared to previous cycles where only plans were created without the possibility of a fully structured course from the start.

The university offers a wide range of academic programs in Accounting, Business, Hospitality, Health and Allied Sciences, Education, Arts, and Sciences, Engineering, Architecture, and Information Technology.

Likewise, teachers can keep on with conducting their lectures and educating the younger generation. It provides the flexibility and accessibility they need to ensure normalcy in their day-to-day routine. “With the use of CYPHER, students don’t have to be held back a year from their education. They only need internet connectivity and a device to attend school again. In this way, physical distance and location won’t be an issue for both students and teachers.” Dr. Emily Mabborang, Elementary Principal ## The solution Jonalyn Santos, Instructor: It was not hard at all to transition from face to face to full online because we have been using the platform for a while already even before the pandemic. And thanks to CYPHER, we did not have to worry what to do or how to deliver our lessons anymore, even in the middle of the lockdown. Dr. Emily Mabborang, Elementary Principal: Online learning platforms, such as LMSs, have become a crucial component for successful teaching and learning in the pandemic, with remote learning appearing to be here to stay. Of course, face-to-face teaching is also an important aspect of the educational process. However, this time span has also shown how learning in a virtual environment can offer unique benefits and be a more open, engaging, and inclusive choice for students who benefit from nontraditional learning methods. ### Features - **Gamification:** For me, the best feature of CYPHER's LMS is gamification. We, teachers, may use this feature to build games for our classes, learning paths, and site-wide games. Gamification is based on automation, which is a powerful function that allows us to easily activate actions such as awarding badges and points to students for completing classroom tasks - Dr. Emily Mabborang, Elementary Principal - **Grading:** The best feature for me is the automatic checking of outputs and the gradebook. It’s very useful to us because it makes our work easier - Jonalyn Santos, Instructor - **Accessibility:** Some of the most impressive benefits of online learning are its convenience and portability. It is convenient in the sense that you don't have to go to places to find information. Instead, you can use search engines to do so. On the other hand, portability in the sense that it is all handheld, you can use any type of gadget ranging from cell phones to desktop computers. Overall those are the best benefits of online learning - Ryan Corpuz, Student - **Flexibility:** One of the benefits I like the most online learning is that it gave me access to studying in my own time. I get to adjust the things I do according to my own schedule, making the product of my work to be better - Shannel Atal, Student “Online learning platforms, such as LMSs, have become a crucial component for successful teaching and learning.” Dr. Emily Mabborang, Elementary Principal ## The results - Seamless continuation of education despite physical restrictions - Significant time savings and grading efficiency - Enhanced parental involvement and satisfaction with transparent access to student progress Shannel Atal, Student: CYPHER gave great assistance to us online learners this school year. It was easy to operate and user friendly. Both assessments to be done and the ones that are done are organized in a good way for the students' eyes. I also like that we can see announcements quickly and get notified when teachers post comments or have graded our outputs. It makes the job easier. Dr. Emily Mabborang, Elementary Principal: When a learning management system (LMS) is used in the classroom, it may help to increase parent satisfaction. Parents have instant access to their child's grades and academic success, as well as the ability to communicate with teachers and administrators, thanks to the LMS. The result is an environment that encourages collaboration, transparency and engaging conversations among parents and educators. “CYPHER presents the most basic modality in online learning.

Yet, many businesses don’t have the resources to keep up with demand for training - 76% of HR and business leaders report struggling to develop training courses and materials due to resource limitations. - They see the greatest potential benefit of a larger L&D (learning and development) department as the ability to close skill gaps in their organization. As a result, many businesses are looking to generative AI to help them do more with less and expand their L&D capabilities - 86% of HR and business leaders said either they or their team members use generative AI in their roles. - Respondents’ companies already use generative AI to: Gamify training courses (58% of respondents). Create more engaging and enjoyable professional development courses (53% of respondents). Save time on course development (54% of respondents). Develop assessments that evaluate learner progress (53% of respondents). But barriers to widespread adoption of generative AI still exist - 44% of HR and business leaders express concerns data security and the accuracy of AI-generated outputs. - 52% of respondents worry AI potentially taking their jobs. - 69% of respondents indicated that while AI could simplify their roles, they lack the necessary skills and knowledge to maximize its potential. - 57% admit uncertainty regarding how AI could benefit their roles. Businesses need a solution to lower barriers to AI adoption, promote more effective training, keep up with course demand, and prepare for a new era of turbulence. - 87% say that if generative AI were available in a more usable way – built into a commercial tool, for example – they would be more open to using it. - 77% say they would use AI more if they could authenticate the information it delivers.

Gewinnen Sie Ihre Schulungsressourcen zurück. *Die seit Jahren bestehende Herausforderung für L&D und Ausbildung.*Lange Lieferzeiten, hohe Kursnachfrage, nie genug Ressourcen. Die Zeit und das Budget für die Entwicklung, Aktualisierung und Bereitstellung von Kursen, die stark nachgefragt werden, werden in Unternehmen immer kostbarer. Es ist teuer. Es ist kompliziert. Es ist sehr komplex. Die Erstellung ansprechender Inhalte in schnellem Tempo ist für viele Inhaltsentwickler ein schwieriges Problem, da die technischen Systeme überlastet sind. Auch der Übergang von der Erstellung zur Bereitstellung ist voller Komplikationen. Traditionelle LMS umfassen eine Reihe komplizierter Schritte - vom Hochladen von Inhalten über die Erstellung von Quizfragen und die Zuordnung von Kompetenzen bis hin zur Unterstützung mehrerer Sprachen, Formate und Neurodiversität - die wertvolle Zeit verschlingen. Personalisiertes Lernen ist eine ganz andere Dimension, die es zu bewältigen gilt. Widerspenstige Technik und zeitaufwändige Arbeitsabläufe behindern das moderne Lernen. Die Trainingserfahrung leidet - langsam, nicht skalierbar, erfordert ständige Investitionen in Geld und Personal mit unzureichendem Tracking. Aus diesem Grund bleibt der Traum vom personalisierten Lernen für Unternehmen weiterhin unerfüllt. ## CYPHER beseitigt diese Herausforderungen CYPHER ist mehr als ein LMS. Es vereint die zwei getrennten und verwirrenden Welten der Inhaltsentwicklung und -bereitstellung und konsolidiert nicht nur Ihren technischen Stack, sondern vereinfacht auch Ihren Workflow. Wir vereinfachen, rationalisieren und sparen Ihnen Zeit und Ressourcen, indem wir eine einheitliche Plattform mit drei Funktionen anbieten: Learning Management System (LMS) + Learning Experience Platform (LXP) + Content-Entwicklung, ermöglicht durch KI. Wir verbinden die Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von Inhalten: - das Lernerlebnis an jedem Punkt zu verbessern - Lernen mit der Geschwindigkeit des Wandels zu verbinden - messbare und wirkungsvolle Lernerfolge mit maximalem ROl zu erzielen - Personalisiertes Lernen in großem Umfang zu ermöglichen - den finanziellen und personellen Aufwand für die Erstellung und Bereitstellung von Lerninhalten zu reduzieren ## Wie CYPHER Unternehmen auf einzigartige Weise unterstützt ### Integrierte Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von Inhalten Mit robusten Authoring-Tools und plattformübergreifender Automatisierung können Sie auf einfache Weise Kurse, Bewertungen und Gamification-Elemente entwickeln und den Inhalten Kompetenzen zuordnen - alles auf einer Plattform. Mit einzigartigen digitalen Lernprofilen lassen sich Kurse mühelos auf einzelne Personen zuschneiden, was maßgeschneidertes Lernen in großem Umfang gewährleistet. ### Gesteuerte generative KI CYPHER Al 360 ist ein einfacher und umfassender Ansatz für KI. Steuern Sie den Inhalt, indem Sie Ihre eigenen Ressourcen hochladen - Videos, PDFs usw. - um individuelle Kurse zu erstellen, die Ihre Terminologie, Ihr Branding und Ihren Stil verwenden. Seien Sie versichert, dass dies alles privat ist. Erstellen Sie in wenigen Minuten einen Kurs mit Optionen wie KI-Voiceover, Unterrichtsstil, Kurstyp und mehr! ### Personalisierte Entwicklung von Kompetenzen CYPHER revolutioniert mit seiner kompetenzorientierten Strategie das herkömmliche, einheitliche Kompetenztraining. CYPHER bietet Einblicke in die Beherrschungsniveaus und bietet maßgeschneiderte Lernempfehlungen. Mit Al 360 werden die Kurse automatisch mit den Kompetenzen der Teilnehmer verknüpft, was ein personalisiertes Lernen in großem Maßstab ermöglicht. ### Intuitive Benutzeroberfläche Die Benutzeroberfläche von CYPHER ist wunderschön, intuitiv und einfach zu bedienen. Von grafischen Dashboards bis hin zu adaptiven Lernpfaden, unser menschenzentrierter Ansatz konzentriert sich auf Klarheit statt auf Komplexität, so dass die Nutzer alles, was sie wollen, genau dann und dort finden, wo sie es erwarten. "Die beste Art, die Technologie zu beschreiben, ist zu sagen, dass sie die Bewegungen des Lernenden vorwegnimmt", so Brandon Hall Group. ### Automatisierung CYPHER ist die einzige Plattform, die von Grund auf auf hochentwickelter Automatisierung basiert, um die Effizienz und Skalierbarkeit zu erhöhen. Unsere fortschrittliche Automatisierung treibt die plattformweite Gamification von CYPHER an, die größte ihrer Art, mit 120.000 Lernenden, die an wöchentlichen, regelmäßigen Leveling-Herausforderungen teilnehmen. Die Punkte werden häufig zurückgesetzt, um die aktive Teilnahme und Motivation zu fördern. CYPHER ist damit auch führend bei der breiten Einführung von KI auf der gesamten Plattform. ### Weltweit CYPHER ist die einzige Plattform, die ein sprachübergreifendes Echtzeit-Kommunikationstool (Universal Translator) anbietet, das die Zusammenarbeit und die Gemeinschaft fördert. Die Plattform unterstützt über 50 Sprachen, und mit Al 360 können Kurse automatisch in jeder dieser Sprachen erstellt werden. ## CYPHER-Lösungen für die heutigen Ausbildungsanforderungen - [Schulungen zu Diversität und Integration](/solutions/diversity-and-inclusion-training) - [IT-Schulungen](/solutions/it-skills-training) - [Erweitertes Unternehmen](/solutions/extended-enterprise-training) - [Mitarbeiterschulung](/solutions/employee-training) - [Zertifizierungen](/solutions/certifications) - [Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen](/solutions/continuing-education) - [Kundenschulung](/solutions/customer-training) - [Personalisierte Kompetenzentwicklung](/solutions/skills-development) - [Einhaltung von Vorschriften](/solutions/compliance) - [Partnerschulung](/solutions/partner-training) - [Berufliche Entwicklung](/solutions/career-development) - [Produktschulung](/solutions/product-training) - [Einstiegsschulung](/solutions/onboarding) - [Mentorenschaft und Coaching](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching) - [Schulungen zur Vertriebsbefähigung](/solutions/sales-enablement-training) [Aktuelles blog](/de/blog/nachrichten) [Aktuelle nachrichten](https://www.cypherlearning.com/de/blog/nachrichten/tag/aktuelle-nachrichten) --- ## Bridging the AI digital divide **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/bridging-the-ai-digital-divide **Last Modified:** 2025-06-26 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [Business LMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/business-lms) # Bridging the AI digital divide September 18, 2024 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read *How access to training and tools "in the moment" can help ensure everyone wins in the AI race* The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI (GenAI), has the potential to reshape industries and careers on a scale comparable to the internet revolution. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2023 highlights that nearly a quarter of all jobs worldwide will undergo significant changes within the next five years, with AI as a central force driving this transformation. As we stand on the cusp of this seismic shift, the question arises: how do workers feel the AI-driven future? CYPHER Learning sought to answer this by surveying 4,543 workers across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, representing various industries. The results paint a picture of cautious optimism tempered by concerns fairness, equity, and the risk of deepening digital divides. ### AI's transformative impact on roles A significant majority of workers—78%—anticipate that AI will impact their roles within the next two years. However, this widespread acknowledgment of AI's influence is accompanied by unease. For example, 38% of respondents believe they will need to retrain as their current jobs could become obsolete. This statistic underscores a fundamental anxiety: the fear of being left behind in a rapidly evolving job market. Yet, it's not all doom and gloom. Many workers are already reaping the benefits of AI in their daily tasks. Sixty-two percent say new technologies are reshaping their roles for the better, with 46% specifically highlighting how AI is making their jobs easier. This duality of fear and optimism is at the heart of the current AI discourse. ### The need for AI skill development While the majority of workers recognize the importance of AI skills—73% believe these skills will be crucial to their roles over the next five years—there is a stark gap in training. Only 25% of workers have received any form of AI training, highlighting a critical area that needs attention if we are to bridge the digital divide. Despite the lack of formal training, there is a strong interest in AI among workers. Over half (53%) enjoy experimenting with AI, and 41% have already used GenAI in their workplace. However, this enthusiasm is not universal. A notable 33% of workers believe AI should be banned in the workplace, indicating a significant level of discomfort and distrust surrounding the technology. ### The age and gender divide Concerns AI's impact are particularly pronounced among older workers. Fifty-seven percent of respondents aged 55 and above feel they are aging out of the workplace, and 45% worry that AI could jeopardize their job security. These findings highlight a potential age-related digital divide, where older workers may feel marginalized or left behind as AI becomes more prevalent. The survey also reveals disparities based on location and occupation. Workers in the UK are lagging behind their counterparts in the US and Mexico in terms of AI adoption and the perceived benefits of the technology. Similarly, women, older workers, and those in manual or clerical roles report fewer opportunities to engage with AI. This indicates a risk that these groups may be disproportionately affected by the AI revolution unless proactive steps are taken to ensure equitable access to AI tools and training. ### The path forward: continuous learning and equitable access The survey findings underscore the urgent need for personalized, relevant, and timely training that empowers all workers to adapt to and thrive in an AI-driven world. To prevent AI from exacerbating existing digital divides, it is essential to foster a culture of continuous learning. Organizations must prioritize the provision of on-the-job training and resources that allow workers to develop AI skills "in the moment." By doing so, we can ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed more equitably, enabling everyone—not just a select few—to succeed in the AI race. As the landscape of work continues to evolve, the onus is on employers, policymakers, and educators to provide the necessary tools and support to bridge the AI digital divide. ### Next steps To delve deeper into these insights and understand how AI is reshaping the workforce, read the full survey report: [Bridging the AI digital divide](/resources/research/business/survey-report-bridging-the-ai-digital-divide).

However, managing effective Learning and Development (L&D) across large organizations involves several challenges. Digital Learning Management Systems (LMS), such as CYPHER Learning, help organizations overcome these obstacles with personalized, scalable, and measurable learning experiences. ## Key challenges in enterprise training Enterprise training faces multiple difficulties that can hinder workforce development: - Tight learning and development budgets: Training teams must often do more with less funding, especially as digital transformation and talent retention take priority over traditional training [(Continu, 6 Most Common L&D Challenges, 2022)](https://www.continu.com/blog/learning-and-development-challenges). - Scaling across global workforces: Serving employees in different regions demands adaptation to various languages, cultures, and compliance requirements [(Continu, 6 Most Common L&D Challenges, 2022)](https://www.continu.com/blog/learning-and-development-challenges); [(Wheelhouse, What Problems Does LMS Solve?, 2022)](https://www.wheelhouse.com/resources/what-problems-does-lms-solve-a11048). - Diverse learning preferences: Employees vary in their backgrounds and learning styles, requiring flexible training methods that engage all learners effectively [(Continu, 6 Most Common L&D Challenges, 2022)](https://www.continu.com/blog/learning-and-development-challenges). - Measuring training impact: Demonstrating the Return On Investment (ROI) of training and aligning it with business goals remains a complex task [(Skilljar, Enterprise Learning Management Systems, 2024)](https://www.skilljar.com/blog/enterprise-learning-management-systems). - Keeping content current: Rapid changes in technology and market dynamics call for frequent updates of training materials to maintain effectiveness [(Wheelhouse, What Problems Does LMS Solve?, 2022)](https://www.wheelhouse.com/resources/what-problems-does-lms-solve-a11048). - Low learner engagement: Maintaining employee attention is difficult, especially amid remote meeting fatigue and competing priorities [(Wheelhouse, What Problems Does LMS Solve?, 2022)](https://www.wheelhouse.com/resources/what-problems-does-lms-solve-a11048). - Partner and extended enterprise training: Consistent and timely training for partners is essential to uphold brand standards globally [(CYPHER Learning, Partner Training, 2025)](/solutions/partner-training). These challenges require strategic solutions that can handle scale, diversity, and agility in training programs. ## How an LMS solves enterprise training challenges Modern LMS platforms like CYPHER Learning address enterprise training challenges through automation, personalization, and advanced tools. ### 1. Scalable, cost-effective delivery LMS platforms reduce costs by cutting down on in-person training expenses and enable access for distributed teams. Automated onboarding accelerates skill development even with high staff turnover [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Employee Training Revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/employee-training-software-revolutionizing-workplace-learning). This scalability supports global enterprises efficiently [(Wheelhouse, What Problems Does LMS Solve?, 2022)](https://www.wheelhouse.com/resources/what-problems-does-lms-solve-a11048). ### 2. Personalization and adaptive learning LMS solutions use AI to tailor content to individual job roles, skills, and learning speeds. The CYPHER Agent creates custom learning based on performance gaps, increasing learner motivation through gamified and interactive experiences [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The Digital Learning Revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ### 3. Consistent and multilingual partner training Enterprises can deliver customized partner training with certification, gamification, and real-time analytics. Features like the “Universal Translator” ensure communication consistency across languages and regions, supporting uniform onboarding worldwide [(CYPHER Learning, Partner Training, 2025)](/solutions/partner-training). ### 4. Real-time analytics and progress monitoring Using detailed analytics, LMS platforms track learner engagement, progress, and knowledge gaps. The CYPHER Learning “Learning Meter” helps trainers adjust programs by measuring participation and outcomes, aligning learning closely with business objectives [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Employee Training Revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/employee-training-software-revolutionizing-workplace-learning). ### 5. Automation for operational efficiency LMS tools automate tasks such as enrollments, progress tracking, gamification, and certification management. This automation frees L&D teams to focus on strategy while enabling rapid content updates across global locations [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The Digital Learning Revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). ## Best practices for successful enterprise L&D with an LMS To optimize LMS benefits, organizations should: - Continuously identify and address training gaps aligned to business goals [(CYPHER Learning Blog, The Digital Learning Revolution, 2025)](/blog/business/the-digital-learning-revolution-how-orgs-are-reinventing-training). - Promote a culture that values skill development by incentivizing learning and enabling career growth. - Engage key stakeholders early to secure support and demonstrate measurable business value. - Use data-driven insights and learner feedback for continuous improvements. - Select LMS platforms that support personalization, analytics, and mobile access to cater to diverse learner needs and hybrid work environments.

There seems to be a general agreement that there are many **benefits of creativity in the classroom** such as promoting a problem-solving mindset, improving focus and giving students a sense of purpose. At the same time, we ask students to be more creative but don’t do so in our lessons or assessment methods. So what can teachers do in this context? How are you to be supportive of students’ creative endeavors while making sure that they’re learning what they’re supposed to? Here are some ideas that can help teachers **nurture creativity in their classrooms:** 1. ### Challenging the belief that being creative is not for them A belief that being creative is reserved for a few select people is not OK. Children are naturally curious and original in their own way, but might not think of themselves as “creative”. Instead, teachers should reinforce the idea that **everyone has the potential** to improve their **creative abilities**. 2. ### Distinguishing between creative teaching and teaching for creativity Most teachers love to be creative and design great activities for students. However, teaching for creativity is **encouraging students to be creative themselves**, not just “consume” activities created by the teacher. It means involving them even more in lessons and letting them lead from time to time. 3. ### Nurture intrinsic motivation first The research is clear: creativity is linked to **intrinsic motivation**. In other words, you can’t have one without the other, although it’s not so clear cut whether rewards for creativity are good or bad. To achieve this, teachers can stop grading some assignments that require a higher level of creativity and can give them feedback for improvement. 4. ### Have a supportive attitude Sure, the obstacles could seem minor for teachers, but for students not succeeding at a more creative task can be very frustrating. It’s all making them understand that **failure is a part of the process**. Supportive teachers are willing to listen to their students and trust that each of them can achieve their potential. 5. ### Openness towards unexpected answers Instead of dismissing unexpected ideas as disruptive, try to build on their answers by asking more questions such as “why do you think that?” and “what we can learn from this?” It also shows that **their opinions are valued** and that they should ask questions more often. 6. ### Know that perfection’s not the answer Perfection is the enemy of creativity since we can’t grow and get our hands dirty (sometimes quite literally) if we strive for perfection. Sometimes teachers might confuse perfection with having high standards for students, which in reality is a whole different thing. Students that fear judgment will never be comfortable **sharing their creative work**. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

Our mission is to advance animal sheltering practices through education, research, and outreach, with a central focus on promoting innovative, accessible, and practical training solutions for shelter professionals. By equipping shelter staff with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles, we aim to elevate the overall standard of care for animals and strengthen the communities they serve. "Ultimately, the education and training provided by KSMP have a profound impact on both the human and animal sides of sheltering. By empowering people, we empower animals. Our training enables shelter staff to provide care that is more thoughtful, informed, and compassionate. It fosters more humane, community-centric sheltering models that improve outcomes for both animals and the people who care for them."

Sheltering is a challenging industry where formal, structured education for frontline staff is often limited or nonexistent. Our goal is to change that reality by providing dynamic, engaging, and learner-centered educational experiences that not only impart essential knowledge but also foster professional growth. We recognize that when shelter workers have access to high-quality, modern training, they are better equipped to provide optimal care for animals, reduce shelter stress, and improve overall outcomes." Cindi Delany, Director of Online Learning ## The solution - Launching the Shelter Care Specialist certification program - Boost interest and engagement with interactive features - Ensuring that offerings can scale without being constrained The introduction of the CYPHER platform enabled us to achieve a level of operational efficiency, learner engagement, and impact that was previously out of reach. ### Implementation Since adopting the CYPHER platform, our learning and training processes have undergone significant positive changes, enabling us to achieve many of the key goals we set out to accomplish. The platform has played a critical role in supporting the launch and rapid growth of our **Shelter Care Specialist certification program**, which consists of six comprehensive courses.  Since introducing the program to the animal sheltering industry in October redible milestone that underscores the industry’s interest and **demand for this certification in an online environment**that engages and supports our learners. One of the most transformative changes we've experienced is the platform’s ability to support an **iterative course development process**. We’ve been able to create, deliver, and **refine our courses based on real-time learner feedback**, without the need to completely rebuild them from scratch. This has allowed us to be more agile and responsive, ensuring that our courses remain relevant, engaging, and effective for our learners. ### Features **Robust feature set for adult learning**: The platform’s wide array of tools has enabled us to create courses that capture the interest of adult learners. Interactive elements, knowledge checks, and multimedia content have helped us deliver engaging and immersive learning experiences. Learners are able to actively engage with the material, which supports better knowledge retention and skill development. **Collaborative learning and interaction**: The platform’s collaborative learning features allow for interaction not only between learners and instructors but also among learners themselves. This shared learning experience fosters a sense of community and collective growth. Learners can discuss topics, seek advice, and share experiences, which enhances the overall learning experience and allows for more dynamic problem-solving. **Coach, Co-Coach, and TA involvement**: CYPHER has made it easy for our small team of coaches, co-coaches, and teaching assistants to provide meaningful, personalized support to learners. Through direct messaging, discussion boards, and real-time feedback, our team can maintain a **high-touch learning environment** despite having only four dedicated online learning professionals and subject matter experts on staff. **User-friendly interface**: The platform’s intuitive and visually appealing interface ensures that learners can easily navigate the system. The ease of use **minimizes technical barriers for users**, making it simple for them to access and complete coursework. The attractive design creates a positive user experience, encouraging learners to stay engaged and complete the certification program. **Flexibility and scalability**: The flexibility and depth of the CYPHER platform have allowed us to continually improve and expand our program. As our courses evolve, the platform’s capabilities ensure that we can grow our offerings without being constrained by technical limitations. This scalability will be critical as we look to introduce new content, refine our current curriculum, and potentially develop new certification tracks in the future. ### Benefits By overcoming the pain points of our previous system and leveraging the advanced features of the CYPHER platform, we’ve been able to **expand our reach, scale our impact, and deliver a world-class learning experience for our learners**. This transformation has been a critical step in advancing our mission and ensuring that our learners are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. These changes have made it possible for our small but dedicated team to achieve a big impact. We’ve built a professional, interactive, and learner-centered certification program that has **attracted more than 1,300 applicants in just a few short months**. By using the features of the CYPHER platform, we’ve been able to create a truly modern and effective learning experience for animal shelter workers, helping them develop essential skills that improve shelter operations and animal outcomes. ## The results - Over 25% increase in completion rates - Boosted NPS based on platform usability ratings - Increased learner buy-in and understanding With CYPHER, we have seen a substantial increase in learner completion rates, engagement, and satisfaction with the online learning experience. Learners can now engage in learning on their own terms, using any device at any time. Our ability to support and track learner progress, offer dynamic feedback, and foster interactive peer learning has led to more effective skill development and increased learner success. **Prior to CYPHER, completion rates hovered around 60%**. Following implementation, we’ve seen a **greater than 25% increase**, with current completion rates **consistently at 80% or higher**. Since adopting the CYPHER platform, we have observed **notable improvements in our learners’ skills, competencies, and overall knowledge retention**. These advancements are evidenced by multiple indicators, reflecting a comprehensive and meaningful learning experience. **Objective performance metrics**: Learners have demonstrated increased proficiency as seen through their scores on knowledge checks and submission assignments. These assessments measure their grasp of key concepts and the ability to apply them in practical scenarios, showing measurable growth in their foundational knowledge. **Task performance and application**: Beyond test scores, our learners’ ability to perform essential tasks and articulate the principles underlying their actions has significantly improved. This practical application of knowledge is critical in roles where hands-on skills and decision-making are essential. The platform’s interactive learning design has contributed to this growth by providing opportunities for learners to practice, reflect, and refine their approach. **Conceptual understanding and critical thinking**: One of the**most meaningful outcomes** we’ve observed is the learners’ deepened understanding of **not only what best practices are, but also why they matter**. This shift from rote memorization to conceptual clarity fosters a more engaged and committed learning experience. Learners are better equipped to make informed decisions and adapt their actions in real-world scenarios, enhancing their problem-solving capabilities. **Learner buy-in and reflective learning**: Perhaps the most significant indicator of success is the **growth in learner self-awareness and reflection**. Our learners are not just passively consuming information; they are actively engaging with the content, considering its relevance to their roles, and internalizing its importance. This shift **represents a deeper level of learner buy-in, which we consider a critical factor in sustainable behavior change and ongoing professional development**. In our most recent cohort, learners were offered a 5 tier likert scale to rate specifics of the course they had just finished. The following were percentages reflect the responses of the cohort: - **94%** strongly agree that the course platform was **easy to navigate** - **94%** strongly agree that the material was **presented in a clear manner** that facilitated understanding - **97%** strongly agree that the course was **well structured** and **easy to follow** - **97%** strongly agree that they **felt supported** during the course In addition, our **Net Promoter Score (NPS) is now 82**. This score places our program in the "excellent" range. Notably, 82% of respondents rated the program a 9 or 10 out of 10, while the remaining 18% rated it a 7 or 8. No respondents scored the program below a 7, underscoring **consistent satisfaction and a positive learner experience**. Year-over-year, we’ve also seen an approximate **200% increase in applications**. The platform’s **professional presentation** of course materials and **seamless onboarding** process have been cited as key factors in applicant feedback. In summary, the CYPHER platform has enabled holistic improvement in our learners’ skills, competencies, and knowledge retention. While objective assessments like quizzes and assignments provide tangible evidence of progress, the true impact is reflected in the learners’ ability to perform tasks effectively, understand the “why” behind best practices, and exhibit a sense of ownership and commitment to the learning process. This comprehensive growth supports our broader mission of fostering well-rounded, reflective, and skilled professionals.

But what makes online education successful, and **how can we measure it?** 1. ### Success of online education for schools Online education can provide a **higher interactivity** between students, teachers and learning materials, and also more feedback. This means there are more things to be measured. Schools have a **plethora of metrics** for their online education programs: engagement rates with learning materials, completion rates of courses, students' scores on tests, graduation rates, and so on. They need to measure everything in order to **personalize their instructional practices** and **constantly improve** all these metrics. 2. ### Success of online education for the employment world Employers look for a **set of skills** in the new hires, besides work experience. The success for entry-level employees is based a lot on their ability to **gain in-depth knowledge** of new subjects, research and analyze data, and apply **learning** in real world situations. When this set of skills is completed by a **natural usage** of various tech devices and online tools, new employees find it easier to adapt to the working environment and be **better performers**. 3. ### Success of online education for students Students want schools to **adapt more** to their learning needs, not the other way around. One size does not fit all. They want **diverse credentials and certificates** that reflect the many ways in which they learn and demonstrate mastery. Students want **personalized learning experiences**. Online education can make this possible, by giving educators the possibility to use big data and powerful analytics and reporting tools, thus meeting all students' learning needs. 4. ### In the end... Successful online education means offering **personalized learning experiences** to students, which will impact schools' metrics, which will adapt and impact the employment world metrics. Of course, all stakeholders must **work together**, and take into account each other's needs when setting their success metrics.

There are many types of reports you can use to track training progress, set new learning goals, and evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of your training programs. Knowing exactly what these reports do can help you choose the right ones for your evaluation processes. With the right analytics, you can measure anything—course completion rates, learner activity on the platform, job-ready results, and more. These valuable insights will help you tailor your training to your workforce’s needs and preferences. Let’s take a closer look at LMS reports you can start using today to optimize your training programs for sustainable success. ## Why use LMS reports in the first place? Training reports are as important for your L&D strategy as financial forecasts are for the finance team. Real-time reporting allows you to move forward, finetune content, and drive business growth. LMS reports enable you to: - Make data-driven decisions that will [boost your training ROI](https://www.business2community.com/human-resources/5-ways-make-corporate-training-deliver-roi-0957333). - Understand your employees’ strengths and weaknesses. - Constantly adapt your training to your staff’s real needs. - Improve compliance training and boost its engagement. - [Right-skill employees](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/what-you-need-to-know--right-skilling-employees/) based on their competencies and job profiles. - Set clear organization and individual learning goals and track them. - [Save money](https://www.coxblue.com/five-tips-to-reduce-your-business-training-costs/) by giving up unnecessary training activities. ## Types of LMS reports your e-learning platform needs There are two main report categories that LMSs offer to businesses: - Built-in reports. - Custom reports. Built-in LMS reports are ready-made (usually within a platform). They have a fixed structure and include specific data the system immediately retrieves upon request. Built-in reports come in different formats and can include a wide range of training-related information, such as: - Course attendance and completion statistics. - Assessment status and results. - Organization statistics. - Course revenue statistics. - Compliance training data. These reports are already available in the LMS and don’t need custom code. Users can simply click on the type of report they want, and the platform generates it within seconds. Built-in reports can often be downloaded or exported. Custom reports contain the same type of information found in built-in reports, plus additional insights or more granular reporting. Users choose what data they want to get at selected intervals and can often go more in-depth. For example, a trainer might not want a generic report with all the learners in their training group and course attendance, scores, or missing work. They can apply filters to eliminate certain fields from their reports or add new ones to get a combined report that only shows the attendance stats of one group of trainees. Customized LMS reports are practical when an administrator or trainer needs quick access to specific training information. ## The 12 types of built-in LMS reports that can streamline corporate training [Enterprise learning platforms](/blog/business/navigating-the-best-enterprise-lms-platforms-for-optimal-learning) can boost employee productivity in many ways. Because built-in reports make organizational and training data readily accessible, they save time and resources on manual tracking. As a result, instructors can keep stakeholders informed : - Training attendance. - Course completion rates. - Teams and workforce skills gaps. - Policy and compliance-related documentation. *The Reports catalog shows a list of all the relevant built-in reports that instructors, managers and administrators can generate.* Here are some of the main built-in reports LMSs offer. ### 1. Site statistics Site statistics reporting can help you understand how learners are interacting with your LMS. These generic reports can include a range of items such as the number of learners, instructors, courses, organizations, enrollments, active courses, assessments, files, etc. These reports offer a quick overview of your training efforts and their scale. Action tip: Use site statistics reporting to provide a global or comprehensive overview of your e-learning platform and strategy. Consider this your “high level” look at what your L&D program has to offer. *Site statistics offer a comprehensive overview of your e-learning platform.* ### 2. Organization statistics Your company is probably divided into several departments. These can be represented in the LMS as different organizations.  With organizational reporting, you can create as many organizations as you see fit. Organization statistics reports will show you a detailed breakdown of each organization’s administrators, instructors, learners, managers, courses, groups, and more. Action tip: Leverage organization or department reports to identify learning progress on specific teams. Identify skills gaps on specific teams. For example, you might use organizational stats to pinpoint a learning opportunity for sales and account executives. ### 3. Revenue reports Revenue reports are a must if you sell courses to third-party entities outside your company. For example, many businesses choose to sell courses to franchisees or clients, which can be a great way to increase revenue.  These reports work together with other e-commerce [LMS features](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/matrix/features-every-lms-should-have). They basically show you how many courses you’ve sold, when, and how much revenue your courses generated. Action tip: Pull revenue reporting quarterly to gauge whether course production and sales are contributing to the company’s bottom line. If not, you’re better able to troubleshoot or allocate resources to other revenue sources. *See important statistics related to online course sales.* ### 4. Course enrollments Course enrollment LMS reports include the number of learners who enrolled in a particular course by a specified date. They help trainers realize if their courses will reach the desired audience and whether they need to send more invitations for additional training sessions. Action tip: Monitor enrollment reports carefully if you have required content to distribute to teams or new employees. For instance, HR leaders may want to verify that newly hired employees are successfully enrolled in onboarding courses. ### 5. Course status These reports include two essential pieces of information – the number of learners participating in a course and its completion status. They also include the organization each learner is part of. Next to each person’s name, you'll see the date when they enrolled, whether they finished the course or not, and their result. Action tip: Use [personalized skills development](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development) to keep learners motivated throughout a course. This strategy recognizes the unique needs and learning styles of individual learners, and helps those employees or team members make progress based on specific priorities. *See information related to a specific online course* ### 6. Course attendance Course attendance reports show you how many trainees are currently enrolled in which courses and how often they attend virtual training sessions. These reports help you pinpoint attendance issues, inactivity, or disengagement. They can help you motivate employees in hard times if you see they are lagging behind and struggle to accomplish their training and career goals. Action tip: To boost learner participation, choose an LMS platform that offers [gamification elements](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/gamification). Encouraging and motivating, gamified progress tends to keep learners engaged over time and until they complete assigned modules. ### 7. Course completion As the name suggests, these straightforward reports show how many people have completed courses and at what date or time. You can schedule to receive them automatically in your LMS, or right after the due course completion date, so you’ll have a quick overview of how efficient the course was and how many people it engaged. If it takes employees longer than expected to complete online training courses, this could be a signal that your staff lacks the skills required to complete learning tasks. Lengthy online training completion times could require some follow up to identify the root cause. For instance, online surveys and assessments can help disclose why corporate learners need more time to complete an online training module. Action tip: Combine course completion reports with other metrics, like student engagement, to spot any “red flags” or at-risk students before they fall behind. ### 8. Assessment usage These reports show you the different types of assessments, quizzes, and evaluations the LMS provides and how instructors can use them. These reports are great for new instructors who are still getting acquainted with the LMS or with learner outcomes. Action tip: Use a blend of [assessment and evaluation](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/assessment-and-evaluation) metrics to keep learners engaged. Before new sessions start, transparently communicate how participants will be evaluated once they’ve completed training materials. *See the many different types of assessments that are used throughout the platform* ### 9. Missing work This report shows which trainees have fallen behind with their assessments and didn’t manage to complete and submit them in due time. These reports are useful when you need to ensure new hires are up-to-date on their onboarding or compliance training. These reports also help trainers take action and help learners who might progress more slowly through a course. Action tip: Always integrate a [human connection](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/human-connection) in training programs, including the times when you need to correct or redirect learners. Doing so can help reassure learners that there is an actual purpose behind their coursework and assignments. ### 10. Policy reports Policy-related reports help you make sure everyone in your organization has access to the necessary policy or regulatory documents. In this way, you see all the policy documents on the platform, which users have access to them and who accepted the site policies. Action tip: Choose [CYPHER to satisfy compliance](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance) and regulatory training in a way that’s modern, intuitive, and more engaging for learners. Because non-compliance can be expensive (both in money and reputation), taking time to keep everyone in line with policy is both important and protective. ### 11. Compliance reports These types of LMS reports are a must-have and a must-use. One of the main advantages of having an LMS is that it streamlines compliance training. With these reports, trainers can get at-a-glance insights into the company’s compliance training and see which courses are required for this purpose, their status, and the number of enrolled users. They can quickly make adjustments if, for example, one team or department has failed to finish or even get enrolled in an important course. Action tip: Stay on top of compliance training with [compliance reports](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance). Use a tool like [CYPHER Agent](/ai360) to quickly create quality compliance materials in less time. *Stay on top of compliance training with compliance reports.* ### 12. Custom LMS reports [Customization is key to a successful training program](https://www.tlnt.com/4-keys-to-a-successful-training-program/#:~:text=%204%20Keys%20to%20a%20Successful%20Training%20Program,will%20be%20easier%20if%20learning%20is...%20More%20) and ad-hoc LMS reports can help you create a more [personalized and effective training experience](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training/). These types of LMS reports allow instructors and admins to define the parameters that are most impactful to reporting. Custom reports help save a lot of time. You only gain access to the information you need the most without searching for it in a generic report. There are multiple items you can include or exclude from ad-hoc reports, such as: - Courses. - Users. - Organizations. - Scores. - Learning paths. - Learning goals. Here are some types of training reports you can customize in an LMS: #### Scores reports LMS platforms allow you to generate custom reports based on trainees’ results and list them in order from higher to lower, or vice versa. Use filters to show an accurate view of how learners are doing in their assessment, and intervene as needed. For example, you can generate reports with scores below a certain minimum level, then the employees who achieved the lowest result and schedule a separate training session to help them close their learning gaps. Score reports support trainers in achieving a program’s goals—whether they’re focusing on [upskilling](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/things-to-consider-when-designing-training-to-upskill-remote-workers/), right-skilling, or retraining staff. These reports play a pivotal role in helping companies improve their training programs and keeping employees on board. This is especially critical, as SHRM reports that [86% of HR leaders believe that training boosts retention](https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/organizational-employee-development/report-employers-reap-benefits-employee-training-done-right). #### Course completion reports Custom course completion reports will show you how many trainees completed their courses and when. You can tweak these reports to see a certain list of learners or all of them and the date when each one completed their courses. This data can also be displayed in ascending or descending order. Course completion reports help you understand which trainees struggle to complete their courses in time, which move faster on their learning paths, and which typically fail to meet their deadlines. Thus, you can take the most appropriate actions to support each one of them by changing the course deadlines or offering more study resources to learners who progress at a faster pace. #### User and course reports Custom user reports can be generated at an organizational level by including all the users in the platform or more restrictive reports that only include a specific department’s users. You can choose the courses you want to see in your report. For example, select those that are more recent or those that are due in the near future. You can also get a generic, business-level course report that shows how many courses you have in each course style category (e.g. instructor-led courses, self-paced courses, blended courses, etc.). These reports are important because they provide useful insights into what types of courses users generally engage in, how many LMS users are active learners, and generally, how your training progresses over the years. #### Group reports Group reports can also work at an organizational level, or you scale down based on need. It’s possible to get comprehensive reports on all the user groups in the organization or filter specific data. For example, you can generate a business report that displays the number of members by nationality or other demographics. These reports can prove helpful both for L&D and HR departments. They show at-a-glance information an organization’s staff and can help leaders make key business decisions. Since groups are social and communication features, they also give hints on how the organization’s members interact with each other and what their interests are. *Custom LMS reports feature handy charts that allow you to visualize data.* #### SCORM Reports In the world of e-learning, [SCORM is the technical standard](https://scorm.com/scorm-explained/one-minute-scorm-overview/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=natural_search#). The acronym itself stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model,” and it’s essentially a playbook for how programmers need to design instructional content so that it works seamlessly with other learning platforms.  SCORM offers predictability. Course and content creators can more readily share learning content between LMS platforms. A SCORM course is one that complies or adheres with these specific standards. SCORM status reports are available in SCORM-compliant courses, and they can illustrate status updates like: - Where a learner or group of learners left off. - Interactions and learner engagement. - Whether a student was marked as **Incomplete**, **Completed**, **Passed**, or **Failed**. In order to access a SCORM report, you must be in a course (or within an entire platform) that’s already complying with those specific protocols. ## Drive more business growth with LMS reports Big data is everywhere nowadays, powering organizations from small to large. Having an LMS that assists learners and helps you easily train is a good start. But finding one also provides comprehensive reporting features is even better. Reporting and analytics tools give leaders an instant overview of learning progress. Whether you want to see your new enrollments, course completion status, submitted assessments, or past due courses, all it takes is a few clicks. Give your learning and development teams the advantage they need in a fast-paced learning environment. [Chat with CYPHER today](https://www.cypherlearning.com/-sales/schedule-a-demo).

The new report – Generative AI in 2024: A potential lifeline amid workplace turbulence – details the findings of the independent survey of 400 HR and business leaders from across the U.S. and U.K. It shows that while upskilling and retention top the list of priorities for HR and business leaders, *three out of four (76%) say they struggle to develop training courses with current resources*. A further *65% say that while upskilling employees is essential to plugging skills gaps, they don’t have the time to develop relevant courses*. As the demand for upskilling increases the pressure on HR and business leaders to quickly deliver more courses, organizations are looking at how generative AI can boost the effectiveness of training. However, the research from CYPHER Learning shows barriers remain, which are preventing some organizations from taking advantage of the technology. Key findings include: - **86%** of HR and business leaders said either they or their team members use generative AI in their roles. - **44%** express concerns around the data security and accuracy of AI-generated outputs – while over **half (52%) worry AI potentially taking their jobs**. - **69%** say that AI could simplify their roles, but they lack the knowledge to maximize its potential, while over half (57%) admit uncertainty around how AI could benefit their roles. “The global workforce is shifting. The need for robust learning and development courses to compete with the demand for upskilling has never been more paramount for organizations globally,” said Graham Glass, CEO and Founder of CYPHER Learning. “It is imperative now to quell concerns the role AI will play in the workplace and commit to a measured approach to implementing generative AI into learning and development.” The research from CYPHER Learning reveals that generative AI is already prominent in workplace discussions around L&D and HR, but businesses need a solution to lower barriers to AI adoption: - The ways in which HR and business leaders are already using AI. - **53%** use generative AI to **create more engaging** and **fun** professional development courses. - **53%** use it to create **assessments** to **evaluate learner progress.** - **54% use it to save time** on course creation. - Three-quarters (**77%**) of HR and business leaders say they would use AI more if they could verify the information’s authenticity. - **87%** agree that if generative AI were available in a more usable way – where it is built into a commercial tool, for example – they would be more open to using it. “Generative AI is augmenting L&D and helping us meet the ever-changing skills requirements,” said Glass. “At CYPHER Learning, we believe AI adoption is addressing these challenges – while giving time back to key personnel and saving their organizations money. By adopting commercial solutions with AI validators, all businesses and L&D teams can benefit from using AI easily and securely.” [CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/cypher-copilot?utm_campaign=2023%20AI%20360%20Campaign&utm_source=PR) is the world's first unified solution for course creation and delivery tools powered by generative AI - leveraging fast-advancing AI capabilities to set a new benchmark for efficient, effective personalized learning.

These learners , often non-traditional, required a visually appealing and flexible platform that could accommodate their dynamic schedules and rolling enrollments. Their existing LMS solution fell short in these areas, prompting Milady to seek a new partner that could deliver a tailored educational experience. "So when we were looking for a platform, we had a long list of specifics that we were looking for. Some of the big ones were, we served the beauty industry as a visual industry. We needed a platform that was visually appealing. It needed to have color and some pizzazz that would attract these types of learners, but also would allow us and then allow our customers to do their own branding.""We needed a platform that was flexible enough to allow us to build a curriculum out of the box and then give it to a school. And they could easily rearrange it to match exactly how they use it in their school." ** ## The solution - Visually appealing, flexible, engaging, customizable platform - Schools can upload their own branding and customized curriculum - Time tracking feature helps to ensure compliance with accreditation standards - Accessible, multilingual content for diverse student needs and schedules **Engaging content**: Milady was able to incorporate discussion questions, polls, and scenario-based activities to simulate what students might encounter in a salon. The incorporation of engaging and dynamic content significantly enhanced student participation, resulting in a remarkable 30% increase of engagement as reported by select Milady customers. This growth is attributed to creating content that captivates learners and their specific needs. "We've been able to build out not just a boring kind of curriculum, but something that keeps students engaged throughout the 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, they're going through the program. And we've had really positive feedback from students and schools on the types of activities that are on the platform." ** **Customization and branding**: Milady was able to offer its customers the ability to tailor a program to suit their unique needs. In an industry where there is a high educator turnover rate, Milady was aware of the need to introduce and maintain consistency in how learners were being taught material. With this platform, students receive the same material always, regardless of who is teaching the course. "You don't have that when you're dealing with a print textbook and an educator to stand at the front of the classroom. So that's been a huge benefit for schools is ensuring the quality and the consistency of the student's learning experience." Additionally, the platform can meet the visual needs of customers by allowing any personal branding to be uploaded, helping customers remain consistent with their identity across all aspects of course content. "We serve some chains that have spent quite a bit of money investing in their own brand. When they buy the curriculum from us, they still want students to feel like they're interacting with the brand of the school. So we needed a platform that was flexible enough to be visual and to allow schools to upload their own visual images as well." ** **Time tracking**: CYPHER built a time tracking feature to support the hourly nature of our beauty education programs. In beauty education, student program completion is based on the number of hours they accumulate. Time tracking is essential for verifying their completed hours. "We needed a platform and a partner that would work with us to develop some features that were really unique for us. Our biggest thing was time tracking. We serve a clock hour industry and needed a partner that would work with us to develop the time tracking that would meet the very strict requirements of accrediting bodies and the Department of Education to enable schools to offer distance education for their students." ** **Platform accessibility**: The platform offers robust multilingual support and the convenience to be accessed at any time or place, making it a popular choice for students with busy schedules or families. Students are given the opportunity to learn at their own pace, on their own schedule and from any location, eliminating some of the many constraints that can hinder the learning experience. The platform's accessibility allows students to balance their educational pursuits alongside other personal and professional commitments. "The students are predominantly female, with a significant representation of minorities, often balancing multiple jobs or family responsibilities. One woman mentioned, 'I can take my daughter to the park, where she can play on the swings while I study for my licensure exam on my phone." ** ## The results - 180,000 learners and 50 million+ exams created since launch - 30% increase in learner engagement as reported by select Milady customers - 8-10% improvement in state licensure exam scores as reported by select Milady customers - 33% increase in digital customer base from 21% to 54% in 3 years - First beauty education provider to deliver 100% course content in Spanish **Rapid student success and course creation**: Milady has assisted a large community of learners in completing their education. "Since our launch three years ago, over 180,000 students have successfully completed their programs with over 50 million assessments submitted … I think that we can say that it is well-vetted and well-tested in the customer base that we serve." ** **Increased learner engagement**: Milady observed a notable increase in student involvement due to platform offerings. "We’ve done some case studies, and one of the case studies said that there has been increased engagement of their students by 30% by interacting with the platform and the activities in the platform." ** **Test score improvements**: Milady has seen evidence of increased pass rates on students’ licensing exams. "Most importantly, state licensure exam test scores have risen between 8%-10% as reported by select Milady customers." ** **Digital customer increase**: Milady was able to see a 33% increase in digital customers since March of 2023 due to an aligned product market fit with the platform. "Having the right digital platform has enabled us to deliver three consecutive years of aggressive growth goals … we have another growth goal this year that we're confident that we will be able to deliver on because we have the right platform." **Language accessibility:** Due to the platform's multilingual support, Milady was able to successfully create 100% of the educational content in Spanish, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility to Spanish-speaking beauty students. "One of the schools I visited, they teach half the school in Spanish and half the school in English and it's life-changing for these learners to be able to have access to materials in the language they speak." ** Attribution key** Quotes attributed to Corina Santoro, Vice President of Product and Customer Service ## Resources [Q&A with Milady PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/best-practices/CYPHER-Milady-QandA.pdf) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Social proof is a big deal in **online marketing**. It’s why the best [converting landing pages](/blog/entrepreneurs/7-must-have-elements-on-a-converting-landing-page/) include **testimonials** and why companies rely on **online reviews** to drive sales. And ultimately, it’s the main reason why word-of-mouth marketing works so well. First, we’ll have a look at how people make decisions using the actions of other learners as social proof. Then, we’ll unpack step by step what you can do to successfully convert visitors into learners with eight tried and tested methods. 1. ### People follow the lead of many others There’s **strength in numbers** especially when it comes to making a decision to buy. That’s why you should: mention the **number of people who have taken your courses**, the number of subscribers that you already have and display the total number of learners in a prominent place on your main website. 2. ### Learners like what’s popular People **like to know what’s popular** right away. If you want to sell faster, branding a course or subscription plan as the most popular will help you **attract more learners**. You can figure out **which items sell well** and then point them out in the course catalog. Keep track of sales to see if this strategy works for you. 3. ### People choose based on similarity We don't only make our choice based on what the majority of people do. In reality, the choice seems so much more appealing when we see a **similarity between us and them**. You can use this to your advantage by leveraging the **power of influencers** that have a **similar audience** to you. 4. ### They trust an outside authority or expert An **expert that is well known** within a particular area can really help you **market your courses**, especially if you’re at the beginning. **Awards** are also a great medium to show that you know what you’re talking . Alternatively, if this isn’t an option right now, you can try to **display certificates** that you’ve won if they are relevant to what you’re teaching. 5. ### They look at the number of followers Isn’t **social media** a form of social proof? We can’t pretend that the **number of followers, shares, and likes** don’t count because they do. The easiest way to use social proof is to **enable share buttons on your website**. However, there’s always the risk of having low to no shares, in which case you might want to consider disabling them. 6. ### Course reviews matter more than you think When undecided, online reviews help website visitors **make a decision much faster** and with greater confidence. In fact, online reviews can [boost conversion rates](https://spiegel.medill.northwestern.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/04/Spiegel_Online-Review_eBook_Jun2017_FINAL.pdf) by as much as 270%. You can **display reviews on course landing pages** or checkout pages. Remember that having only 5-star ratings looks a bit inauthentic and having **at least five reviews per product** is recommended. 7. ### Make a good impression with testimonials **Testimonials** are great for showing how your courses have helped past learners achieve their goals. Testimonials **showcase the best you have to offer** and the main benefits of your products. For a more in-depth view, you can **interview learners and publish case studies** on your blog, social media, or even as a separate section on your main portal. 8. ### Low proof is worse than no proof **Authenticity goes a long way** and it’s better to **display the real number of learners** that have bought your courses. However, your actions can backfire if you make the mistake of confusing low proof with “good enough” when it can actually hurt your sales. Better not to display numbers if they are too low because that might just create the opposite effect. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs.

Virtual training, once a novelty, has added more options for learning experiences that were once classroom-only. But online platforms have presented a few challenges—namely, keeping online participants totally engaged. How can leaders ensure that online sessions are interactive and inviting, even as instructional methods switch to digital formats? The answer lies in encouraging as much learner engagement as possible. In this post, we'll walk through five actionable ways to improve learner engagement and create more success in your virtual training initiatives. ## Key takeaways for improved participation Emphasizing participant engagement can make synchronous online training feel somewhat challenging—especially for new instructors. In the digital classroom, learners often participate very differently than they would in a physical classroom environment. As a result, it can be challenging to create a learning journey that’s personalized to unique learning styles, goals, and preferences. But conquering non-participation and helping learners get results is possible. In fact, following the tips and strategies outlined here can make it easier to reduce disengagement and ensure a positive, productive experience for everyone. ## What does non-participation in online training look like? As a program leader or instructor, it’s important to approach all learners equally and without bias. In the digital space, it’s sometimes to jump to conclusions which learners are eager, and which ones are simply toggling their mouse to seem busy. So how can you identify red flags in the online training environment? Non-participation and disruption can take different forms: - Learners disengage by keeping their camera and microphone off - Some refuse to participate in any activities or answer group questions in the chat - Other participants might try to reconstruct the classroom atmosphere and over–engage, using an abundance of comments or clicks in a way that distracts others Virtual instructors have likely experienced many of these learning habits and tendencies. The trick is to reduce disruption by approaching all learners with an open, inviting, and engaging presence—and delivering relevant, [job-ready content](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/employee-training) that helps them grow. ## 5 rules to follow for successful online training experiences For the most successful training experience, there’s a twofold responsibility—on the instructor, and on the learner. While it might come as a surprise, both parties have to work together to ensure success. The “rules” or guidelines that follow are designed to help both instructors and participants take an active role in the process. This means staying accountable to basic procedures, and gleaning the most insight from the overall training experience. ### Rule #1: Find a quiet area to participate in training For participants, the setting can make or break the entire transfer of learning process. Attempting to focus in a crowded, noisy environment is tricky, and it's no different in a digital space. Encourage students or participants to find a quiet, secluded environment for training. Even simple background noise in a coffee shop or busy public place diverts attention from the learning environment. In turn, this interrupts the learner, teacher, and even virtual peers. ### Rule #2: Be on time for training Another rule for virtual training participation involves punctuality. By beginning at a specific time for each session or lesson, an instructor sets the tone for a training journey that’s professional, valuable, and important. Being punctual not only shows respect for everyone else’s time, but it also sets the right standards for how the session will be managed. If the sessions aren’t self-paced, punctuality ensures that everyone receives the information they need in order to excel during the assessment and evaluation stages. ### Rule #3: Remove distractions from your space When it comes to virtual learning, distractions can be anywhere and everywhere. Plus, distracting scenarios are unique to where each participant is tuning in. Other family members, loud public spaces, and unreliable WiFi connections can all become distractions in the digital learning game. A lack of familiarity with the [learning platform](/business) or technology can also be a hindrance, especially because participants need to know how to log in and access materials to stay engaged in the class. For instructors, this means taking time to help learners become comfortable with specific tools they need for [employee training](/solutions/employee-training) and [onboarding](/solutions/onboarding). Technical issues can significantly hinder participation, so a little practice goes a long way toward removing roadblocks. ### Rule #4: Mute the microphone as needed No virtual rulebook would be complete without a few simple etiquette reminders. And yes, that includes camera and microphone settings while class is in session. At times, participants may need to contribute vocally or share their thoughts with the broader group. However, it is equally important to mute microphones at all other times to avoid disrupting others with background noise or conversation. (Within certain platforms, instructors can mute all participants at one time to prevent unexpected surprises.) ### Rule #5: Come prepared for the training content Participants should arrive at the digital 'classroom' with a clear mind. Set the tone—everyone needs to be ready to absorb new information and prepared to engage with the material. Instructors also need to come ready to guide, answer questions, and share feedback as needed. Although some content might be pre-recorded, actively participating in real-time conversations ensures that the experience still feels unique and worthwhile. As needed, distribute session recaps (to cover information taught in a past session) or previews what to expect in an upcoming lesson. These small steps might not require much time, but they do have a big impact—ensuring that everyone comes to the day ready and equipped to learn new content. ## Tools and resources to enhance the virtual experience By using an LMS (learning management system) platform like CYPHER, you can enhance virtual classroom participation with lots of built-in tools and features. These tools make it easier to minimize nonparticipation, reduce disruptions, and reward learners for their activity. - **Interactive Polls and Questions** – Implementing live polls or asking open-ended questions can break up the session and allow for immediate feedback and interaction. Quick polls can help instructors gauge how much information learners are retaining. - **Group Discussions**– Encourage breakout rooms or smaller group discussions to create a more personal, interactive environment. These conversations are also great ways to boost the [human connection during training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/human-connection). - **Multiple Assessment Types** – Diversify the ways you quiz or grade virtual learners. [Mix up your assessments](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/assessment-and-evaluation) with discussions, essays, peer-reviewed responses, team assignments, surveys, or interactive quizzes. Each of these tools improves engagement by keeping learners on their toes—ready to contribute and respond quickly. The more variety instructors have in their toolkit, the more exciting each session is bound to be! ## Practical ways to navigate non-participation in online training In-class instructors might be able to quickly spot when a group’s attention is fading. In a physical classroom, providing a break or a teamwork exercise works differently than it does in an online learning environment, in which instructors have a more difficult time taking the “pulse” of the virtual classroom. Fortunately, virtual facilitators can still cater to various learning preferences and ensure all learners have a fair chance at retaining the material. ### Maintain good timing and content delivery Training times have significantly shrunk, and there’s more pressure to deliver abundant information rapidly. Moreover, many corporations still approach training as an intervention—a fix for when something goes wrong—instead of using it as a natural way to grow and develop industry skills among team members. To minimize non-participation in online training, try the following strategies: - [Chunk up the content](/blog/business/3-key-aspects-of-effective-microlearning-how-to-do-more-with-less/) so that learners can pick the most relevant lessons. Make sure it's easy for learners to browse and find exactly what they need, especially when they’re pursuing specific lessons for [compliance](/solutions/compliance). - Be upfront with the timeframe and the overall expectations. Tell participants how long the session will last and if there will be a final evaluation or assessment. - Try to avoid cognitive overload. Apart from keeping modules or topics short, aim for easy-to-understand explanations, and support those with relevant examples, case studies, or on-the-job training. ### Offer reminders expectations Learners are more likely to engage when they understand the why and how of a training session. Defining clear objectives anchors the training content and ensures that participants understand why participation is so valuable. Instructors can make expectations more inclusive by taking the following steps: - Run a thorough audience analysis to gauge who the participants are and what they need or expect. Demographics are essential, but so are communication preferences and comfort levels with new learning technology (LMS platforms included). - Set the right expectations. Tell learners the ratio of presentation and practice exercises, and share how many quizzes (if any) there will be. These details can reduce learner anxiety or stress, making them more comfortable with participation in the regular activities of each session. ### Use personalization to address non-participation Participants are also more likely to engage when they relate on a personal level with the material. Where possible, tailor the training to the audience. Incorporate examples and scenarios that match their current roles or experiences. - Customize the delivery to individual groups that show the same learning preferences. For example, some groups might prefer team exercises, while others want to take quizzes and then discuss results with other trainees. - Avoid putting people on the spot by asking for fast opinions or answers. Explore gentler options, such as exercises done in breakout rooms where team members share the results. That way, you’ll encourage participation without singling anyone out. - Use storytelling, for engagement and to significantly improve information retention. Provide resources at the end of the session so that participants can learn more at their own pace, and so that they can use recall to connect major points to memorable conversations in class. ## Final reminders for instructors and leaders Understanding the unique dynamics of digital classrooms helps instructors and leaders provide effective virtual training that hits the mark. Remember—engagement isn't simply replicating classroom exercises, but providing innovative ways for modern learners to gain new professional skills and knowledge. With an intuitive learning platform like CYPHER, you can also benefit from improved engagement, better productivity, and more growth and development for everyone involved. Let’s revolutionize your virtual learning experiences.

Start by acknowledging that each participant brings unique experiences and perspectives to the virtual classroom. Encourage open communication channels (using chats or discussion boards), and allow participants to engage beyond structured training hours. You can also foster a supportive environment for learning by honoring [diversity and inclusion](/solutions/diversity-and-inclusion-training). ### What are effective ways to handle disruptions in online training sessions? Instructors must always be ready to address common issues and communicate expectations with a sense of calm. Be proactive by offering a pre-session checklist to help learners ensure their technology is ready to go. Additionally, have a backup plan (like including a phone number for tech support) to keep participants connected to training assistance when they need it. ### How can I make sure all learners feel included in my online training programs? Instructors can use inclusive language, such as addressing the group as "we" or "us," to foster a sense of belonging and community. Invite feedback from all participants, and be mindful of any dominant voices that might overshadow or drown out the participants who are less outgoing or vocal.

Personalization also helps new employees acclimate to roles quickly, as they receive relevant resources that are directly applicable to their job functions. ### Integration with connected HR systems and tools [Integration with HR systems](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/integrations) and tools is a crucial feature of employee onboarding software. The software should be able to integrate with existing HR systems, such as HRIS, payroll, and benefits administration. This enables seamless data exchange and reduces the risk of manual errors or discrepancies. [Integrate directly with CYPHER](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/integrations) Integrated onboarding creates a unified platform for managing employee data.

Similarly, tracking new hire satisfaction identifies areas where the onboarding content needs condensing to result in [better retention or learner engagement](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/brochures/business/engage-modern-learners). ## How to choose an employee onboarding software for your team Selecting the best onboarding software requires a thorough understanding of your organization’s needs and goals. Start by assessing your current onboarding process and identifying areas for improvement. Consider factors such as scalability, integration capabilities, and ease of use when evaluating potential solutions. Look back on past employee surveys to pinpoint complaints or areas of frustration. How could a new platform improve these responses? Next, research vendor reputation and customer reviews to gain insights into the software’s performance and reliability. Pay attention to feedback from organizations with similar needs and industries to ensure the solution aligns with your expectations. Finally, consider scalability and flexibility. You’ll likely need to accommodate your organization’s growth and evolving employee needs, so be sure to pick a platform that works with your long-term future goals. ## How can you further optimize the onboarding experience? To maximize the benefits of an employee [onboarding platform like CYPHER](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/onboarding), you need to be willing to continuously refine and ask questions your process.

You can achieve this by providing ongoing training and support for employees throughout their tenure, and investing in [personalized skills development](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development) as they achieve new milestones both personally and professionally.

Edwards Deming Institute is to enrich society through the Deming philosophy. The Deming Philosophy represents a holistic approach to leadership and management that brings together an understanding of variation, theory of knowledge, psychology, and appreciation for a system. At The Deming Institute, we honor the legacy of Dr. W. Edwards Deming by bringing his teachings to life today and for the future. We’re introducing his teachings to a younger generation, developing new Deming leaders, and ensuring the transition of knowledge from Dr. Deming’s trusted colleagues. Learning is absolutely critical to the success of our organization, and we find immense fulfillment in our role of facilitating continual improvement throughout society. DemingNEXT - our eLearning platform with CYPHER - is the means by which we are able to achieve this. “DemingNEXT brings Dr. Deming’s teachings together for a whole new generation.” DemingNEXT user INDUSTRY Nonprofit COMPANY SIZE Small enterprise HEADQUARTERS Sanford, NC SERVICES Professional training & coaching Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Delivering high-quality learning at scale with a small team - Needed a platform that provided interactive learning at scale - Required support for self-paced learning journeys with easy accessibility As a nonprofit with a **team of just 5 people**, the W. Edwards Deming Institute faced the challenge of **expanding its educational reach**while maintaining high-quality, accessible learning experiences. Their previous platform lacked the flexibility, automation, and scalability needed to support self-paced learning, making it difficult to **scale impact without overwhelming the team**. To fulfill their mission, the institute needed a modern, interactive platform that could provide learners with an engaging experience **beyond traditional books and static resources**— one that would empower them to apply Deming leadership principles with confidence. “Before we started working with CYPHER, we struggled to find a suitable means by which we could provide learning opportunities at the scale, quality, and accessibility that we knew we needed in order to have the greatest impact.” Katie Krell, Learning Systems Specialist ## The solution - Automation streamlines learner journeys and reduces manual workload - Personalized learning tailors content to meet a wide range of needs - API integration with Deming.org boosted enrollment and saved time With CYPHER, the Deming Institute **transformed its approach to online learning**, making it possible to deliver high-quality, interactive education at scale. **Automation features have been a game-changer**, allowing the team to create custom learning paths, automate enrollments, and deliver personalized experiences without adding administrative burden. The platform’s group **automation tools** have been particularly valuable, enabling the institute to **customize learning journeys for different organizations** while automatically enrolling learners in relevant courses. Features like **Completion Actions** have helped keep learners engaged by seamlessly guiding them through their next steps. Additionally, the CYPHER **organizational features have strengthened relationships with consultants**, giving them their own portals to deliver Deming training in a structured, scalable way—something that wasn’t possible before. The seamless API integration with Deming.org has also simplified user onboarding, boosted enrollments, and extended the reach of their marketing efforts. “We simply could not have built this on our own—DemingNEXT is so robust that we constantly surprise people when they learn that we were able to do it all with only a team of 5 people.” Katie Krell, Learning Systems Specialist ## The results - Launched DemingNEXT in half the time - 3x increase in learner engagement since launch - Improved knowledge retention with interactive modules Transitioning to CYPHER **dramatically accelerated DemingNEXT’s launch**, cutting the development timeline**in half** compared to their previous platform provider. Since launch, **learner engagement has more than tripled**, demonstrating the platform’s ability to deliver an engaging, impactful learning experience. Learners who previously relied on books to understand **Deming’s leadership principles**have found that **interactive eLearning modules significantly enhance knowledge retention and application**. Many report that CYPHER has given them a whole new way of understanding Deming’s teachings, allowing them to apply these principles **more effectively in their work and daily lives**. By leveraging CYPHER automation, personalization, and integration capabilities, the Deming Institute has been able to scale its mission, expand its reach, and create lasting impact — all with the power of a small but highly efficient team. “We have been busier than ever, reaching new audiences who have been absolutely amazed at the quality of our online learning programs and the effectiveness and impact that it has had in their jobs and lives.” Katie Krell, Learning Systems Specialist ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

July 1, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read Finding the right learning management system (LMS) for onboarding new employees is aligning platform features with your organization’s goals of efficiency, engagement, compliance, and scalability. CYPHER Learning offers a solution that focuses instead on real-world impact. ## Why onboarding matters Onboarding isn’t just a welcome gesture—it’s a strategic process directly affecting productivity, engagement, and retention. When done well, onboarding drives real outcomes that impact an organization’s bottom line. Faster productivityStructured onboarding programs help new hires become proficient more quickly. According to a study by Brandon Hall Group, organizations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire productivity by over 70% and retention by 82%. [Source: Brandon Hall Group](https://www.wefindtalents.de/wp-content/uploads/the-true-cost-of-a-bad-hire.pdf) Higher retention ratesEmployee turnover is expensive—replacing an employee can cost 30% to 50% of their annual salary for mid-level roles and even more for senior positions. A well-executed onboarding program leads to higher satisfaction and retention. SHRM reports that employees who experience effective onboarding are 69% more likely to remain with a company for at least three years. [Source: SHRM](https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/talent-acquisition/dont-underestimate-importance-good-onboarding) Stronger engagement and cultural alignmentThe onboarding process introduces company values, expectations, and communication norms. Employees who feel connected to company culture early on are more likely to contribute proactively. Gallup notes that employees who strongly agree that their onboarding was exceptional are 2.6 times more likely to be extremely satisfied with their workplace. [Source: Gallup](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/236441/employee-onboarding.aspx) Improved compliance and risk mitigationFor industries like healthcare, finance, and education, onboarding is critical for regulatory compliance. Centralized LMS-driven onboarding ensures documentation, certification, and training are tracked and stored, reducing the risk of audit issues or non-compliance penalties. Increased employee confidenceStructured onboarding enhances role clarity and builds new hire confidence early on. Talya N. Bauer of Portland State University, writing for SuccessFactors, explains that formal programs focused on role clarification and clear expectations help employees “gain clarity and confidence quickly.” This early confidence supports faster performance, stronger engagement, and better long-term retention. [Source: SCRIBD](https://www.scribd.com/document/401221438/2-Bauer-Success-Factors-White-Paper-Onboarding-employee-clarity-confidence-1) ## Key features to look for in an LMS When evaluating platforms, consider these practical features: 1. **Intuitive course building**Drag-and-drop interfaces save instructional design time. Templates for mandatory policies, role-specific procedures, and training modules let organizations deploy quickly. 2. **Automation and workflows**Automated enrollments triggered by job title or department streamline the experience. Milestone reminders, task tracking, and auto-notifications reduce manual follow-up. 3. **Multimedia content delivery**Varying content formats—videos, PDFs, quizzes—accommodate diverse learning styles and make material more engaging and retainable. 4. **Progress tracking and reporting**Real-time dashboards help managers monitor completion, assessment scores, and overall progress by cohort or department. 5. **Compliance and certification**Built-in certification management ensures new hires complete and renew necessary compliance courses (e.g., safety, data privacy, anti-harassment). 6. **Integration and single sign-on (SSO)**Seamless integration with HRIS, SSO, and other systems means data stays consistent and secure—crucial for onboarding. ## CYPHER Learning for new hire onboarding CYPHER Learning supports onboarding with a practical blend of tools designed for efficiency and clarity. Intuitive course creationCYPHER gives you flexibility and speed. Build onboarding programs your way using intuitive drag-and-drop tools, prebuilt templates, and reusable course components for policies, SOPs, and role-specific training. Prefer to move even faster? Use CYPHER Agent to generate complete, skill-aligned courses in minutes. Whether you're building from scratch or using AI to accelerate development, you can launch polished onboarding experiences in days—not months. CYPHER customer Wilcon Depot reported saving 7,200 hours in course creation in a single year. [Source: CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) Streamlined workflowsAdmin tools enable triggered enrollments based on HR actions, automated reminders, and milestone notifications. For example, when HR updates a team member’s role, CYPHER auto-enrolls them in relevant modules (like role-based compliance or tools training). Rich multimedia supportRich media is supported through videos, interactive quizzes, and SCORM packages, all in one place. This variety helps reinforce the retention of critical information and build confidence. Real-time intelligenceBuilt-in dashboards provide real-time insights, such as: - Onboarding completion rates by department. - Average time to complete each module. - Quiz results and certification status. These insights let HR and managers identify knowledge gaps or roadblocks. Built-in certification processesCYPHER Learning supports credential tracking for compliance needs, with automated reminders for renewals, reporting for audits, and digital badge issuance for new hires. Flexible integrationsCYPHER integrates with popular HR systems (e.g., Workday, BambooHR), SSO tools, Slack, and MS Teams, ensuring data flow, seamless access, and minimal setup effort. ## A real-world example A mid-sized tech company recently adopted CYPHER to onboard 200+ new engineers annually. They reported: - A 40% reduction in time to first commit. - A 30% increase in course completion within 14 days of hire. - Centralized tracking of compliance training and certification. They highlighted how customization of onboarding content—team-specific modules, role-based learning paths, and mentorship integration—created a unified yet flexible experience. ## Tips for selecting your LMS - Map your onboarding journey: Identify phases—pre-boarding, first day, first month—and list the relevant content, teams, and compliance checks. - Clarify user roles: Who creates content? Who delivers? Who monitors progress? Ensuring well-defined roles avoids confusion. - Run a proof of concept: Pilot with one team or department to validate workflows, content formats, integrations, and reporting. - Train internal admins: Vendor support is helpful, but internal admins ensure the system stays relevant as organizational needs evolve. - Measure outcomes post-launch: Track metrics like time to proficiency, onboarding completion rates, engagement scores, and new hire retention after 90–180 days. ## Final thoughts When choosing an LMS for new hire onboarding, look beyond promotional wording. Focus on ease of use, automation, content flexibility, analytics, integration, and scalability. CYPHER Learning aligns well with these factors—enabling organizations to build structured, effective, and data-driven onboarding programs without unnecessary complexity. By mapping your onboarding goals, piloting with a key team, and tracking key outcomes, you can confidently select an LMS that drives measurable change from day one.

In 2025, healthcare LMS platforms leverage advanced AI, seamless data integration, and specialized content to meet the rigorous demands of healthcare organizations. CYPHER Learning is a leading LMS solution designed specifically to support healthcare compliance and [skills development](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/how-cypher-agent-for-learners-unlocks-fast-personalized-skill-development) with state-of-the-art features. [(CYPHER Learning, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/healthcare-organizations) ## CYPHER Learning: the leading healthcare LMS platform CYPHER Learning stands out as a top healthcare LMS by integrating innovative technology tailored to healthcare-specific needs. It supports healthcare organizations through: - Regulatory compliance tracking: The platform supports compliance tracking and ensures that organizations stay audit-ready for key healthcare regulations such as the Joint Commission, OSHA, and various medical board requirements [(Sana Labs, 2025)](https://sanalabs.com/learn-blog/top-ai-powered-lms-healthcare-compliance-2025). - **Advanced data integration:** CYPHER Learning seamlessly connects with  key systems in your  infrastructure, including EHRs, HRISs, credentialing and more, enabling real-time competency mapping, credential verification, and policy updates. - **Scalability:**Designed to support large hospital systems and multi-location health networks, CYPHER Learning accommodates complex training hierarchies and scaling needs. - User experience: Equipped with a modern, intuitive interface, and full suite mobile app, CYPHER Learning simplifies training management and compliance oversight for clinicians, administrators, and educators alike.

Aside from CYPHER Learning, notable platforms in lude HealthStream, LearnWorlds, Moodle, and TalentLMS. ### 1. Healthcare-specific content and compliance Healthcare LMS platforms must deliver continuing education (CE), continuing medical education (CME), and discipline-specific training alongside organization-specific training, all while managing rigorous compliance requirements. - CYPHER Learning: Matches or exceeds HealthStream’s compliance capabilities, provides a selection of healthcare-specific content for high-risk regulatory environments through partnerships with leading content vendors, ensuring up-to-date [certifications](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/certifications) and training and a flexible platform to support all other learning needs. - **HealthStream:** Provides a comprehensive medical content library with CE/CME courses, automated competency assessments, and compliance tracking aligned with the Joint Commission and OSHA regulations. Optimal for hospitals emphasizing regulatory adherence. ### 2.

Choosing the right LMS involves more than just considering features and cost; compliance, local deployment, and innovation must also be prioritized. This article highlights essential factors to consider before selecting an LMS in Europe. ## The growth trajectory and market complexity Europe’s LMS market is projected to quadruple from $10.07 billion in 2025 to $41.67 billion by 2033 [(Straits Research, LMS Market Europe, 2025)](https://straitsresearch.com/report/lms-market/europe). This growth is driven by several key factors: - Extensive digitalization across businesses, government bodies, schools, and universities. - A competitive landscape featuring global, regional, and niche LMS vendors. - Increasing adoption of cloud-based platforms, mobile learning, and remote education. - A surge in corporate learning programs emphasizing compliance, agility, and continuous workforce development. Because buyer needs vary widely, a single LMS often requires customization and robust vendor support to meet diverse use cases effectively [(Reddit, r/elearning, 2025)](https://www.reddit.com/r/elearning/comments/1cno11l/for_anyone_who_is_knowledgeable__the/). ## Critical priorities for European buyers European organizations should focus on the following criteria when evaluating LMS solutions: - Data protection and compliance: GDPR adherence, strong privacy measures, and EU-based data hosting are mandatory to secure learner data and comply with legal frameworks [(CYPHER Learning, , n.d.)](/privacy-policy). - Multilingual and multicultural support: Platforms should offer multiple user interface languages and culturally adapted content to accommodate diverse, pan-European audiences [(CYPHER Learning, FAQ, n.d.)](/faq). - Cloud architecture and scalability: Cloud-native LMSs enable fast deployment and flexible scaling, essential for expanding or remote workforces [(Straits Research, LMS Market Europe, 2025)](https://straitsresearch.com/report/lms-market/europe). - Integration ecosystem: Compatibility with tools like Salesforce, Zendesk, and single sign-on (SSO) systems streamlines workflows and data reporting [(CYPHER Learning, FAQ, n.d.)](/faq); [(Instructure, Canvas page, 2025)](https://www.instructure.com/canvas). - Personalization and automation: Leveraging AI, modern LMS platforms deliver customized learning paths, automate content creation, and provide real-time support to learners and administrators [(CYPHER Learning Blog, Learning and Development Trends 2024, 2024)](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2024). ## AI and the future of learning Artificial Intelligence is reshaping learning by enabling adaptive curricula, instant feedback, and advanced analytics. Priorities such as personalized learning, upskilling, and rapid course development address growing skills shortages. Organizations increasingly require LMS platforms that are AI-native, meaning AI capabilities are integrated fundamentally rather than added later. An example is the CYPHER Learning AI-powered assistant, CYPHER Agent, which supports course design, skills analytics, and personalized learner engagement—boosting efficiency and mastery tracking [(CYPHER Learning, FAQ, n.d.)](/faq). ## Vendor support, customization, and user experience Successful LMS adoption depends heavily on vendor reliability, customization options, and user experience quality: - Comprehensive support and fast onboarding: Choose vendors providing multilingual support, thorough training, and transparent upgrade roadmaps [(CYPHER Learning, FAQ, n.d.)](/faq). - Intuitive, accessible UX: Platforms should feature easy navigation, offline and mobile functionality, and gamification to enhance learner engagement and course completion [(KnowBe4, Mobile Learner App, n.d.)](https://www.knowbe4.com/mobile-learner-app). - Continuous improvement: Effective LMS solutions allow organizations to monitor learner progress through analytics, gather feedback, and adjust learning strategies for sustained return on investment [(LinkedIn, LMS Help, 2025)](https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms/answer/a424655). ## Evaluating vendors: key questions 1. Does the platform host data within the EU and ensure GDPR compliance? 2. Are AI, automation, and data analytics embedded into the core platform rather than offered as extras? 3. Does the LMS support a multilingual user interface and localized experiences? 4. Are vendor support and the product roadmap aligned with your organization’s digital transformation and upskilling goals? 5. How rapidly can the system scale or adapt to comply with new regulations or business changes? ## Why CYPHER Learning stands out CYPHER Learning is a leading AI-driven LMS tailored to the European market. Its main advantages include: - Compliance with GDPR and EU data residency, plus support for over 50 languages. - AI-powered automation for course creation and skills tracking, enabling rapid training deployment within 15 days. - Agile development with quarterly AI updates included, plus seamless integrations with enterprise tools. - Strong focus on personalized learning experiences, engagement, and measurable results acknowledged by industry experts [(CYPHER Learning, FAQ, n.d.)](/faq).

The main causes are employees' lack of awareness or understanding of rules - yet educating staff remains a comparative afterthought.The survey of 400 HR and business leaders across the US and UK found that nearly nine in ten (88%) of respondents agree that greater employee accountability would mitigate business risks. However, 71% believe staff don’t ‘get’ the importance of policies and procedures, so engagement is an ongoing battle – with 68% saying getting workers to comply with policies is a major headache. ## More study insights Unknown risksAlmost three-quarters (71%) of respondents think staff are likely breaking rules, but often don’t know until something goes wrong – with policies relating to HR, data sharing, and health and safety being the areas people believe employees are most likely to cut corners. Lack of time and resources98% of respondents believe employees would be more likely to understand and comply with policies and procedures if training was more engaging. However, 87% said barriers such as a lack of time, funding, and urgency prevent them from making training more engaging. A growing problemIn the past three years, organizations have created or updated policies and procedures to cover topics such cybersecurity, social media, hybrid working, sustainability, data bias and AI. But 74% of respondents said although they should be regularly updating policies and procedures, realistically they don’t have the time. Lack of investment and focusTo make training around policies and procedures more engaging. Less than half (44%) of budgets assigned to policies and procedures is spent on employee education – equating to just $105,000 per year on average. Compliance training is boringMeanwhile, 66% of respondents admitted employee education is often an afterthought, with 62% complaining that training in this area is “one of the most boring things” they have to do. Limited communication methodsEmail updates and company newsletters (47%) are the most common ways employees learn policies and procedures. Lack of online training adoptionLess than half (45%) of companies conduct online training. Fewer still (31%) create explainer videos or interactive, gamified training experiences (26%) to drive the message . 'One and done' mentalityOnly 56% of companies continually educate employees on policies, with 65% admitting to treating training as a ‘one-and-done information dump’ during the onboarding process. Lack of assessmentLess than half the companies surveyed (44%) test employees’ knowledge to ensure they have fully understood a procedure, or educate them on the purpose of each policy to aid understanding (45%).

Embrace competencies. There’s always at least one student who stays up until 2 a.m. the night before a test, cramming information they failed to learn in prior weeks. Without regular performance tracking and evaluation, it’s easy for students to put off learning, but cramming is not the same thing as mastering applicable skills.Are you struggling to… Quickly measure and track your students’ educational progress, strengths, and weaknesses using more than just grades Personalize course material to individual students’ strengths, weaknesses, and goals Decrease cramming and get students to demonstrate skill mastery with competency-based learning Continually create and adapt courses so they remain relevant without draining your time and resources Seamlessly integrate courses from development to delivery ### What is competency-based learning? Competency-based learning emphasizes the demonstration and mastery of concrete and measurable skills. By using competencies, teachers can track how well students are learning each skill. The main principle is that students progress through competencies as they learn and cannot advance from one module to another without having mastered them first, thereby establishing a strong foundation to build upon as they progress. ## What makes competency-based learning so great? Top reasons why competency-based learning, also known as mastery learning, is important: Personalized pace of learning It allows students to progress at their own pace. This is especially beneficial for learners who may need more time to grasp certain concepts, as well as for those who can move faster through material they already understand. Focus on mastery Competency-based learning ensures that students achieve a high level of understanding or skill in a subject before moving on. This leads to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the material. Flexible learning paths It allows for more personalized education paths. Students can focus on their strengths and interests, which can lead to greater engagement and motivation. Real-world skills This approach often emphasizes practical and applicable skills that are relevant in the real world, making students more prepared for the workforce or higher education. Improved assessment Traditional grading systems often focus on memorization rather than understanding. Competency-based assessments ensure that students truly understand the material, rather than just memorizing facts for a test. Equity in education It can help bridge gaps in education by ensuring that all students reach a certain level of competency, regardless of their starting point. This approach can be particularly effective in diverse classrooms where students have varying backgrounds and levels of preparedness. Enhanced student accountability Students in a competency-based system take more responsibility for their learning, as they understand that they must demonstrate mastery to progress. Continuous improvement Since learning is more individualized, teachers can provide targeted support where needed, and education programs can be continually adjusted to meet the needs of students. Better preparedness for lifelong learning Competency-based education fosters a growth mindset and prepares students for lifelong learning, which is crucial in a rapidly changing world. **[40% of business leaders](https://www.intelligent.com/4-in-10-business-leaders-say-recent-college-grads-are-unprepared-to-enter-workforce/) believe recent graduates are unprepared for the workforce, and 94% admit they avoid hiring recent graduates at times. When graduates move from needing to pass tests and courses to carrying out projects, interacting with clients, meeting deadlines and exercising soft skills, studies show they fall short. While tests are valuable in assessing knowledge, they don’t cover all of the bases.** Susan Patrick, the Aurora Institute’s president and CEO, said [competency-based learning](https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/every-state-now-lets-schools-measure-students-success-based-on-mastery-not-seat-time/2023/05#:~:text=With%20the%20pilot%20project%2C%20Wyoming,set%2013%2Dyear%20academic%20schedule.) allows for more personalization, flexible time, equitable instruction, and group work skills. **“It really is equity-driven,”** she said. **“If you are ensuring that every student gets to mastery, you’re addressing these gaps that are taking place and the holes in learning that are deeply impacting students, especially our most underserved and our most vulnerable students.”** Prioritizing competency-based learning and skills development can foster greater comprehension and drive long-term information retention. It also enables teachers to identify areas where certain students struggle and provide greater individualized support in those areas. Because testing culture treats each student equally, some people can get lost in the group and fall behind. Competency-based learning helps lift those children up, fostering resilience and confidence, and better prepares students to excel in their academic, personal, and professional lives. ## Award-winning platform for education In the past year, we’ve received **over two dozen awards** for our innovative learning technology, including **Forbes Advisor’s** “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “**Best LMS**.” We’ve also received recognition for our work in academia, earning the title of “Best K-12 Remote Learning Partner” in the **SIIA CODiE 2022 Awards** and numerous other awards.

With advancements in technology and pedagogy, educators are continually seeking innovative strategies to engage students and promote dynamic interactions, regardless of the learning environment. This updated blog post explores the latest techniques and tools for fostering meaningful discussions in hybrid or virtual classrooms, ensuring that every student feels heard, engaged, and valued. ## Facilitating meaningful discussions in the modern classroom: Hybrid and virtual strategies As education continues to adapt to hybrid and virtual formats, the art of facilitating discussions has taken on new dimensions. Engaging students in meaningful dialogue is crucial for deep learning, critical thinking, and community building. Here's how educators can enhance discussion dynamics in today’s digital-first educational settings. ### Establish clear guidelines and expectations **Updated approach:** Begin by setting clear, inclusive guidelines for discussions, emphasizing respect, openness, and the value of diverse perspectives. Use digital platforms to share these guidelines in advance and revisit them regularly. Incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) principles can also help create a safe, supportive environment conducive to open dialogue. ### Leverage technology to enhance participation **Interactive tools:** Utilize the latest interactive tools to facilitate discussions in hybrid and virtual classrooms. Platforms like Miro or Padlet for collaborative brainstorming, or features like Zoom breakout rooms for small group discussions, can significantly increase engagement. Polling and Q&A apps also encourage participation by allowing students to contribute anonymously, making it easier for shy or reserved individuals to share their thoughts. ### Foster a culture of active listening **Engagement strategies:** Encourage active listening by modeling it yourself and acknowledging students' contributions with specific, positive feedback. Use techniques like "think-pair-share" or "silent debate" even in a virtual setting to ensure students are not only heard but also feel their views are genuinely considered and valued. ### Utilize asynchronous discussion platforms **Flexibility and inclusivity:** Asynchronous discussion forums, such as those offered by LMS platforms or dedicated apps like Flipgrid, allow students to engage in conversations at their own pace, providing time for reflection and thoughtful participation. This approach is particularly beneficial for students who may need more time to articulate their thoughts or are participating from different time zones. ### Encourage diverse forms of expression **Creative contributions:** Recognize and accommodate different communication styles by allowing students to express their ideas in various formats, such as short videos, audio recordings, or visual presentations. This not only enriches the discussion but also empowers students to share their insights in ways that feel most comfortable to them. ### Promote real-world connections **Contextual discussions:** Make discussions more meaningful by linking them to real-world issues, current events, or case studies relevant to students' lives. Encouraging students to bring in external resources or personal experiences can deepen the conversation and foster a more engaging and relatable learning experience. ### Continuous feedback and reflection **Iterative improvement:** Regularly seek feedback from students on the discussion process and use their insights to refine strategies and tools. Reflective practices, such as asking students to journal their discussion experiences or share feedback in a dedicated forum, can provide valuable perspectives for enhancing future discussions. ## Nurturing dynamic discussions in digital classrooms In the context of modern education, where hybrid and virtual classrooms are becoming the norm, the ability to facilitate meaningful discussions is more critical than ever. By leveraging technology, establishing inclusive practices, and fostering a culture of active participation and reflection, educators can create vibrant learning communities where every student’s voice is heard. As we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of digital education, these strategies will remain essential in promoting deep, meaningful learning and engagement across all formats.

This approach has proven especially critical in adapting to the diverse needs of today’s learners and the challenges of a global, digital age. This updated blog provides fresh insights and practical tips for educators looking to effectively incorporate blended learning into their classrooms, reflecting the latest trends and technological advancements. ## 5 Tips for incorporating blended learning in the classroom As blended learning becomes increasingly integral to modern education, understanding how to effectively implement this model is key for educators. Here are five updated tips for integrating blended learning strategies into your classroom, ensuring a dynamic, engaging, and effective learning environment. ### 1. Leverage the latest edtech tools **Updated insight:** Beyond traditional learning management systems (LMS), explore the latest edtech tools that foster interactive and personalized learning experiences. Tools such as AI tutors for personalized assistance, VR for immersive learning experiences, and collaborative online platforms can significantly enhance engagement and understanding. Stay informed new technologies and consider their potential impact on your teaching strategy. ### 2. Design for flexibility and accessibility **Contemporary approach:** Ensure that your blended learning design is flexible enough to accommodate the varied needs of your students, including those with disabilities or those who may have limited access to technology. Use universal design principles to create content that’s accessible on multiple devices and considerate of different learning preferences. Incorporate asynchronous elements that allow students to learn at their own pace, alongside synchronous sessions for real-time interaction. ### 3. Foster a collaborative learning environment **Enhanced strategy:** Use technology to break down the walls of the traditional classroom and encourage collaboration not just among students, but also between students and the wider global community. Platforms that facilitate project-based learning, peer reviews, and group discussions can replicate the collaborative dynamics of a physical classroom online, enriching the learning experience. ### 4. Integrate data analytics for personalized learning **Innovative use:** With the advancement in learning analytics, educators can now tailor the learning experience to individual student needs more effectively. Use data from your LMS to track student progress, identify areas where they may be struggling, and adjust your teaching approach accordingly. Personalized feedback and adaptive learning paths based on real-time data can significantly improve student outcomes. ### 5. Provide continuous training and support for educators **Key consideration:** For blended learning to be successful, educators themselves need ongoing support and training in both the pedagogical and technical aspects of blended learning. Invest in professional development opportunities that focus on the effective integration of technology into teaching. Peer mentoring and communities of practice can also be invaluable resources for sharing best practices and overcoming common challenges. ## Implementing blended learning: Steps to success **Start small:** Begin by integrating one or two blended learning activities into your curriculum to see what works best for you and your students. **Solicit feedback:** Regularly ask for feedback from your students on their learning experience and be prepared to adapt your approach based on their insights. **Reflect and iterate:** Continuously reflect on your experiences and be willing to iterate on your blended learning design to enhance its effectiveness over time. ## Embracing the blended learning journey Incorporating blended learning into the classroom is not a one-size-fits-all process but a dynamic journey that evolves with the changing needs of students and the advancement of technology. By embracing these updated tips and remaining committed to continuous learning and adaptation, educators can create enriched learning environments that prepare students for the complexities of the modern world.

It’s impossible to underscore the sheer importance of employee [training and development in the human resources (HR) realm](/solutions/skills-development), especially for forward-thinking companies that want to improve retention and boost team culture. Investing in professional growth not only enhances individual skills, but it also fuels forward progress and innovation at the personal and corporate levels. Whether you’re an HR professional seeking to overhaul established development programs, or you’re a business leader aiming to maximize the potential of your current workforce, use this guide to discover trends, establish effective training programs, and plan for future innovation. As you search for ways to stay ahead of the curve in the training and development world, optimizing your HR tech stack is what makes a tangible difference. ## Overview of employee training and development in HR Training is so crucial to employees that up to [94% of employees](https://blog.clearcompany.com/5-surprising-employee-development-statistics-you-dont-know) make plans to stay with an organization when the company focuses on professional growth. Development tools are simply the platforms that allow companies to deliver important on-the-job information, to teach corporate values, and to provide a curriculum that’s highly tailored to specific contexts. HR training programs run the gamut from simple to complex, including methods like: - Learning management systems (LMS). - Performance management software. - Online or in-browser training platforms. - Skill assessment tools or instruments. - Third-party products. These technologies have the power and potential to drive tangible results for any organization or business looking to invest in people through excellent employee training. From a people perspective, that makes a big difference. Current workplace data clearly supports the idea that [employee training positively influences morale](https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/importance-of-training) and motivation. There’s no question—antiquated training and instructional methods won’t meet the demands of a contemporary workforce. Now, HR professionals must turn to creative technologies that optimize the training process, making it more user-friendly and productive for everyone. **In conjunction with tangible learning benefits, making the switch to modern platforms results in higher employee engagement, productivity, and retention.** ## What can you accomplish with advanced HR training tools? No matter how much information a prospective employee has a role during the application process, the learning curve can be steep. HR leaders can close this gap with diligent onboarding, on-the-job training, and cultural exposure. While research shows that [74% workers are willing to learn new skills](https://www.lorman.com/blog/post/39-statistics-that-prove-the-value-of-employee-training) and information when accepting a position, only a small minority of those new hires feel that they actually receive the training they’re desperately seeking. Managers must acknowledge these emotional and mental connections if they hope to transform and improve HR training processes. So what can HR managers do to shift the tide, enhancing the experience for internal staff and new hires alike? The answer lies in adopting a comprehensive training tool and optimizing it for maximum reach. **Here are just a few things that your team can accomplish when you find the ideal training and learning platform for HR.** ### Carry out high-impact work across multiple industries According to WorkRamp, up to [69% of modern organizations and businesses](https://www.workramp.com/blog/learning-and-development-statistics/) have invested in better learning opportunities and employee training tools. On the heels of a global pandemic and cultural work shifts like the Great Resignation, providing adequate resources has become crucial for longevity and success. Today’s top [learning and development training tools](/blog/business/the-13-best-lms-software-platforms-to-boost-your-training-and-development) are suitable across multiple industries, including business, higher education, healthcare, finance, and many others. Not only does this allow specific companies to provide employees with niche training materials, but it also expands access to information that everyone needs for better work performance. Think the benefits of seamlessly and quickly communicating information HR-related policies (like personal leave or sexual harassment), online safety and security protocols, or personal skills training. ### Support team engagement with continuous learning With adequate HR training guidelines, it’s possible to increase engagement and assist employees as they expand their own knowledge and skills. These factors are critical for protecting employee retention and engagement and preventing negative side effects like turnover or burnout. Entrepreneur and tech platform founder [Tom Healy has this to say modern employee engagement](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thetomhealy_growth-management-learning-activity-7076919329392324608-AVK-?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) as it relates to HR-based learning initiatives: *“...younger, talented employees want [learning and development] to be customized and personalized to them. If they wanted generalized [content[, they could find millions of hours of it for free online, and it would be better…Here is what happens in 2023 when a company “pushes out the TV cart” and makes their employees ‘watch learning and development’:* - *They aren’t engaged in the content.* - *They can’t recall the content 72 hours later.* - *They feel that you don’t care their growth.* - *They feel like they are back in pointless high school classes.* - *They feel their employer lied to them the quality of learning and development."* Teams can no longer ask employees to watch a slew of published training videos and consider the development responsibilities finished. A more digital, creative, and nuanced approach is the gold standard, especially for a young generation of learners. ### Publish unique content to increase knowledge retention With modern HR training solutions, companies can create and publish content that even includes custom branding. Doing so allows HR specialists to differentiate onboarding and corporate content so that it’s not simply run-of-the-mill “human resources speak.” Plus, it gives businesses the freedom to infuse developmental material with corporate values that are critical for team cohesion. The goal is to create an end result that’s memorable and valuable, serving as an online learning experience that team members actually retain and use. Employees might have hesitations investing in a long or laborious training course. Making it entertaining and engaging reshapes the experience to make it more of an opportunity (rather than a burden) which increases course effectiveness. ## Benefits of using a learning management system (LMS) in HR At this point, you might be able to guess how we feel lackluster HR materials. There’s just no reason for them, especially when learning modules can be unique, memorable, and highly valuable for employee skills and social learning. In addition to these advantages, there are many more perks to using a [training and development platform like CYPHER](/solutions/employee-training). ### Benefit 1: Increased employee productivity and performance When employees don’t have the training and resources they need to fulfill their responsibilities, productivity takes a nosedive. That’s because it’s much harder to satisfy expectations when you don’t actually understand what those terms are—or how to accomplish them. Workplace data tells the story of the relationship between reliable training and in-office productivity. When employees have adequate tools, research shows that the hours they spend working result in more successful milestones, better sales, and increased revenue. As leaders, give employees the learning experience they need to grow the company as a whole. ### Benefit 2: More engagement and job satisfaction The relationship between employee training and engagement has been established by research and employee feedback surveys time and again. The Society of Human Resources points out that while [engagement and satisfaction technically differ](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/tools-and-samples/toolkits/pages/sustainingemployeeengagement.aspx), both metrics rise when adequate training is accessible. When employees are adequately prepared for their expected tasks, it’s easier to find enjoyment and fulfillment in a job well done. Additionally, companies that prioritize investment in development may also be more likely to offer competitive benefits, career perks, and even better financial incentives. ### Benefit 3: Lower employee turnover rates Undeniably, one of the most pressing factors for employee turnover in today’s marketplace is lack of employee training and resources. Over time, frustration builds, and workers pursue opportunities elsewhere in the hopes that they’ll have better access to training, support, and development. To limit turnover at your organization, equip everyone right out of the gate. With workforce training, you can limit turnover by: - [Helping employees upskill](/business/tour/skills-development) or build their knowledge base. - Using [competency-based learning](/resources/guides/business/competency-based-learning) methods. - Creating [personalized learning programs](/resources/white-papers/business/tracking-employee-learning-performance) for real-time employee feedback and goal setting. - Establishing more internal communication policies and changes. ### Benefit 4: Increased organizational effectiveness When employees know what they’re doing, productivity increases. Training courses help organizations save time, reserve important resources, [minimize waste, and eliminate performance errors](https://smallbusiness.chron.com/training-increase-organizational-efficiency-57488.html). Not to mention, it's helpful to track learner progress to get a high-level view of where the team stands. Organizational efficiency also contributes to the bottom line by mitigating waste, protecting assets, and boosting customer satisfaction. If your company is experiencing issues in any of these areas, explore the root cause. Ask whether more intensive training administration could help prevent costly mistakes or simply get everyone working and collaborating as one cohesive team. ## Different types of HR tools for your tech stack HR managers and people leaders can choose from a variety of different applications to satisfy development requirements. While some platforms specialize in one particular function (like on-site training), others comprehensively cover multiple training tasks and scenarios. Before deciding, think how easily you want to integrate training with other essential tasks and responsibilities. Consider the flexibility of each type of tool, how the tech delivers skills training, and how important automation is to implementation. When you use CYPHER, you’ll benefit from [seamless integrations to thousands of enterprise applications](/tour/integrations) in complex ecosystems. In the sections below, check out the most common differences between different HR training tools. ### Learning management systems (LMS) A learning management system, or LMS, is a tech platform designed to deliver content and curriculum to online learners. [TrustRadius defines a corporate LMS](https://www.techtarget.com/searchcio/definition/learning-management-system) this way: *“Corporate learning management systems allow companies to address their needs for knowledge management and employee training within one platform. These systems are designed to provide employees with easy access to resource materials, whenever they need them.”* An LMS is different from single-use platforms in that it’s typically comprehensive, even if it’s web-based. This means that course creators can plan, deliver, launch, and share content within one license. LMS platforms also include ways to manage individual learners, providing secure access to set courses or learning pathways. ### Skill assessment and testing tools Skills assessment tools are another option for information sharing, but they may be more helpful in slightly different contexts. For example, a company might employ a skills-based assessment to measure transferable skills of prospective job applicants. This can be helpful when applicants, like software engineers or web designers, need to showcase hard skills that would eventually impact job performance. Some skills assessment platforms may be limited to evaluation processes, rather than having curriculum delivery capabilities. For uninterrupted delivery of new training materials, companies may need to look beyond basic testing tools.

Over time, dissatisfied workers start to look elsewhere for chances to grow, resulting in higher turnover rates and delayed company growth. In the very near future, adhering to best practices for HR-related development, training tools, and course creation will distinguish people-forward companies from the rest. **If you want to attract and retain top talent, applying these reminders is crucial.** - Be proactive rather than reactive. Have foundational development software tools in place, well before red flags begin to appear within teams or departments. - Regularly collaborate with managers to identify skills gaps on current or future teams. Use a digital learning platform to close these gaps, providing valuable information that employees need to improve productivity. - Promote skills mastery through personalized learning paths. Leverage important training content to help learners accelerate their career goals or have a more profound impact in their roles. - Include employees in the planning process, and always request valuable feedback once training is complete. Allow employees to weigh in on what lessons would make a tangible difference in their work performance or environment. Incorporate communication tools to encourage real-time feedback. - Adapt to unique learning styles, recognizing that not all employees approach training with the same mindset, goals, or attitudes. Having a self service knowledge center also empowers employees who prefer an independent route. Remember, the goal of your HR training or development program should be to create courses that build skills, increase corporate buy-in, and expand future possibilities. Whenever possible, satisfy these objectives with engaging platforms that put the learner at the center of the process. ## Qualities to look for in your next HR training platform Narrowing down your employee training tool options might seem tough, but prioritizing the values that guide your company’s people policies can help. Make it an easier choice by asking the following questions. - **Is the training tool adaptable and scalable over time?** Eventually, your employee roster is likely to grow and change as the needs of your team members shift. Any suitable LMS should tailor to both corporate and personal growth, providing tools and teaching options to suit your needs. - **Are online training courses secure for both internal and external users?** Whether you use an instructor led training or self-paced instruction model, security is paramount. Any trustworthy learning platform should respect proprietary information and safeguard employee data. - **Do targeted training programs offer a high level of personalization?** At the same time, learning and development should be unique—and even a bit fun. Engage employees with personalization that supports various career paths and creates enjoyable experiences through rewards-based learning. - **Can the platform help with compliance training and tracking?** Many employers have compliance and regulatory standards that employees must satisfy. Online learning platforms can provide instruction, quiz learners, and keep the organization up-to-date on compliance standards that regularly change. Ultimately, the goal for your learning and development tool should be continuous improvement for employees and the company at large. Choose a learning and development option like CYPHER that truly grows with you. CYPHER is the most comprehensive and modern learning and development platform for businesses that offers personalized skills development and sophisticated automation to help you reach your learning goals more efficiently. ## Foster professional growth in the learning and development process At [CYPHER](/platform), we believe that learning is a lifelong pursuit of new, exciting knowledge.

We couldn’t be more proud of our exceptional team members for their hard work and dedication in getting us to this place. ## Here’s an in-depth look at Talented Learning’s review of why CYPHER stands out: 1. ### Innovation “The innovation that has been driven out of this platform in the last 12 months is just really jaw dropping and astounding.” At CYPHER, we’re dedicated to adapting based on customer feedback and available technological advancements. We strive to continually improve to better serve our business and academia communities. 2. ### Automation “They have one of the best automation engines in the industry.” With CYPHER, you can trigger automated actions in various areas of the platform, such as courses, learning paths, groups, and accounts each time a particular goal is reached. You can even trigger automations with third-party integrations. For instance, if a user enrolls in a certain course, you can have CYPHER automatically add them to the CRM system. 3. ### CYPHER Agent “In the industry, it takes a minimum of 40 hours to create an hour's worth of content. Here you’re getting to 80-90% in 10 minutes.” [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) (formerly CYPHER Copilot) allows users to create courses in 50+ languages in under 10 minutes for less than $10. With options to have CYPHER Agent pull exclusively or primarily from your uploaded content, you can quickly create courses tailored to your organization. Upload slide decks, company materials, and more. CYPHER Agent will take care of the rest. Create a full training course from the materials, complete with quizzes, gamification, competencies, and more. 4. ### Competencies “For anyone who’s an instructional designer, it’ll just knock your socks off to see all of the steps you used to have to do manually that you don’t have to do anymore.” Regardless of the subject or skill level, you can use competency-based learning to track learners skills and progress toward learning goals. Automatic competency mapping between quizzes, rubrics, modules, and more allows for personalized learning at scale. Choose from existing competencies, create your own, or have CYPHER Agent generate them. 5. ### Customization “They’re really good at separating customers from partners or employees.” With CYPHER’s advanced customization options, create separate custom dashboards and welcome screens for employees, partners, and customers. These customized portals boast individual URLs, catalogs, logos, tailored pages, and more. 6. ### Reporting “The reporting engine they have is just out of this world” With 55 pre-built and custom options, CYPHER can help you quickly and easily generate reports on module progress, competency coverage, learner engagement, completion rates, and more. Our reporting options are fully integrated, so you never pay more for reports. 7. ### Integrations “They have over 1,000 [integrations](/integrations).” John Leh’s right. We do.

Portfolios help students **take ownership of their learning**, plan their tasks in advance, practice their skills, and showcase their progress. They can have a lasting impact, since students are actively involved in the process and can **transfer skills** to different subjects. We have prepared **seven guidelines** that show how easy it is to implement **digital portfolios** in the classroom. Let’s explore them! 1. ### Choose the right tools A good **digital portfolio tool** must allow students to add, edit and delete items with ease. It should also function as a way to **showcase your students’ work**. For example, the portfolio can be visible under their student profile. Ideally, a **portfolio feature** should already be part of a tool that teachers and students use every day, such as an **LMS**. 2. ### Make room for creativity The possibilities are endless! Students can **experiment** with video/audio, essays, photography, live streaming, coding tools, you name it. They will feel that the **learning process** is more relevant for them, and will be able to communicate their ideas better through **interactive portfolios**. 3. ### Organize portfolios Depending on the **purpose of the digital portfolio**, students can update their portfolios throughout the semester or throughout the year. They can also have **deadlines for uploading** items, or submit them at their own pace. A good idea is to **create a simple template** for them to use at the beginning and stress the importance of record keeping — no file should be lost in the process. 4. ### Enable student choice Depending on the **goal of the digital portfolio**, students should be able to pick which essays, videos, recordings etc. make the final cut. Portfolios make it easier for them to **reflect on their own work** and **evaluate their progress**. Increasing awareness the learning process also leads to **increased self-efficacy and confidence** in their own abilities later on. 5. ### Use digital portfolios as assessments Digital portfolios are an **excellent competency-based assessment** tool. Each portfolio assignment can be linked to competencies defined by the state or district curriculum. Of course, teachers should keep in mind that they need to **design portfolio assessments** with **learning outcomes** in mind, and use tools such as rubrics to better evaluate student performance. 6. ### Encourage student reflection Digital portfolios enable metacognition because they offer a chance to **plan, monitor and evaluate** their own tasks. In this way, they will become more aware their progress, as well as gain a valuable skill that will be useful later on. It also provides unique insight for teachers, as they will be able to better **help students achieve their learning goals**. 7. ### Showcase versus learning portfolio Putting together a digital portfolio can **help students achieve their goals** in the long run. They can even use it as part of their **application for college, internships, and even jobs**. This is an example of a **long term purpose** or showcase portfolio. A **short term purpose**, or learning portfolio can be used as an assessment method that has a shorter lifespan, of let’s say, one semester.

November  2023 – Ein Viertel aller Arbeitsplätze wird voraussichtlich ["neuen Ära der Turbulenzen"](https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2023.pdf) betroffen sein. Eine Studie des Anbieters moderner Lernplattformen [CYPHER Learning](/) zeigt nun die größten Sorgen von Personal- und Unternehmensleitern sowie ihre Einstellung zu generativer KI als möglicher Lösungsansatz. Der Bericht beinhaltet die Ergebnisse einer unabhängigen Umfrage unter 400 Personal- und Unternehmensleitern aus den USA und dem Vereinigten Königreich. Sie lässt erkennen, dass Weiterbildung und Mitarbeiterbindung zwar ganz oben auf der Prioritätenliste stehen. Jedoch sagen drei von vier (76%) Personal- und Unternehmensleitern, dass sie Schwierigkeiten haben, mit den aktuellen Ressourcen Schulungskurse zu entwickeln. Weitere 65% geben an, dass die Weiterbildung ihrer Mitarbeitenden zwar wichtig ist, um Qualifikationslücken zu schließen, sie aber nicht die Zeit haben, entsprechende Kurse zu entwickeln. Da die Nachfrage nach Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen den Druck auf Personal- und Unternehmensleiter erhöht, schnell mehr Kurse anzubieten, prüfen Unternehmen, wie generaƟve KI die EffekƟvität von Schulungen steigern kann. Die Studie von CYPHER Learning zeigt jedoch, dass es nach wie vor Barrieren gibt, die einige Unternehmen davon abhalten, die Vorteile der Technologie zu nutzen. Zu den wichƟgsten Erkenntnissen gehören: - **86% der Personal**- und Unternehmensleiter gaben an, dass entweder sie oder ihre Teammitglieder generative KI in ihrer Funkton nutzen. - **44%**äußern Bedenken in Bezug auf die Datensicherheit und die Genauigkeit von KI-generierten Ergebnissen, während **mehr als die HälŌe (52%) befürchtet, dass KI möglicherweise ihren Arbeitsplatz übernehmen könnte.** - 69% sagen, dass KI ihre Aufgaben vereinfachen könnte, aber ihnen das Wissen fehlt, um das Potenzial zu maximieren. Gleichzeitig gibt mehr als die HälŌe (57%) zu, dass sie unsicher sind, wie sie KI für ihre Aufgaben nutzen könnten. "Überall sind BelegschaŌen im Wandel begriffen. Der Bedarf an robusten Lern- und Entwicklungskursen, um mit der Nachfrage nach Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen Schritt halten zu können, war für Unternehmen weltweit noch nie so stark wie heute", sagt Graham Glass, CEO und Gründer von CYPHER Learning. "Es ist jetzt wichtig, die Bedenken über die Rolle, die KI am Arbeitsplatz spielen wird, zu zerstreuen und sich bei der Implementierung generativer KI im L&D-Bereich für einen maßvollen Ansatz zu verpflichten." Die Studie von CYPHER Learning zeigt, dass generaƟve KI in den Diskussionen um L&D und HR am Arbeitsplatz bereits eine wichƟge Rolle spielt. Unternehmen brauchen jedoch eine Lösung, um die Barrieren für die Einführung von KI zu senken: - Drei Viertel **(77%)**der Personal- und Unternehmensleiter geben an, dass sie KI stärker nutzen würden, wenn sie die Authentizität der Informationen überprüfen könnten. - **87%** sind der Meinung, dass sie dem Einsatz generativer KI aufgeschlossener gegenüberstehen würden, wenn diese in einer besser nutzbaren Form verfügbar wäre, z. B. als Bestandteil eines kommerziellen Tools. "Generative KI ergänzt L&D und hilŌ uns, die sich ständig ändernden Qualifikationsanforderungen zu erfüllen", so Glass. "Wir bei CYPHER Learning sind davon überzeugt, dass der Einsatz von KI diese Herausforderungen meistert - und gleichzeiƟg den Mitarbeitenden in Schlüsselpositionen Zeit zurückgibt und ihren Unternehmen Geld spart. Durch den Einsatz von kommerziellen Lösungen mit KI-Validatoren können alle Unternehmen und L&D-Teams von der einfachen und sicheren Nutzung von KI profitieren." CYPHER Learning hat kürzlich [360 mit CYPHER Copilot](https://www.cypherlearning.com/cypher-copilot?utm_campaign=2023%20AI%20360%20Campaign&utm_source=PR), auf den Markt gebracht, eine umfassendes Toolpaket zur Erstellung und Bereitstellung von Lerninhalten, die auf generativer KI basieren.

Dabei setzt sie durch den Einsatz von KI neue Maßstäbe für produkƟves und effizientespersonalisiertes Lernen.

Methodik der Umfrage CYPHER Learning beauŌragte Sapio Research, ein externes Forschungsunternehmen, mit der Befragung von 400 Personal- und Unternehmensleitern in den USA und dem Vereinigten Königreich. Ziel der Studie war es, ihre Prioritäten für 2024 und ihre Einstellung zu generativer KI als Lösung für den Auĩau einer widerstandsfähigeren BelegschaŌ zu verstehen.

Maybe it’s the variety of topics they cover, the perfectly timed length, or the simple setting. The TED Talks given by educators strike a chord with anyone with a **passion for education**. The speakers are either teachers themselves or are experts in their fields, highly relevant to education today. So here are, in no particular order, seven **TED Talks that every teacher should see**: 1. ### Every kid needs a champion Rita Pierson breathes teaching through every pore. In this passionate and engaging talk, she calls for teachers to connect with students. She advocates for **every teacher to be a champion for their students**: “Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they can become the best that they can possibly be.” 2. ### Science is for everyone, kids included This heartwarming talk tells the story of the **youngest scientists** ever published. Beau Lotto, founder of an art studio and science lab, draws attention to the fact that the work of scientists is a lot like children’s play. **Science is a way of being**, just like play is, and by adding rules, you create a game. Being a scientist shouldn’t be limited to an age group, as science is indeed for everyone. 3. ### How to learn? From mistakes Diana Laufenberg witnessed firsthand all the **changes** that the advent of the Internet produced in the educational system, and how challenging it’s **adapt to everything**. Now, as she points out, “if we continue to look at education as if it's coming to school to get the information and not experiential learning, **empowering student voice and embracing failure**, we're missing the mark.” 4. ### How to raise successful kids — without overparenting Well, this is aimed more at parents, but maybe teachers could share it with parents. Julie Lythcott-Haims talks how being overprotective and **setting too high expectations** — that are actually rather narrow — of children can actually be counterintuitive in the process of raising them. After all, **success comes in all shapes and sizes**, and every child should be able to find their own. 5. ### Let’s teach for mastery — not test scores Khan Academy founder, Sal Khan, talks the absurdity of the educational system and calls for a different approach to teaching and assessing: **mastery-based learning**. Such a system wouldn’t allow for any **achievement gap** to develop. If the focus of education can move from test scores to **achievement of mastery**, outcomes will be amazing. 6. ### Teachers need real feedback Aside from the big name, Bill Gates brings big words on the TED stage. **Teachers need real feedback**. We expect so much of our teachers every day — to prepare our kids for successful lives in the future — yet we give them so little support in their **professional development**. One step towards achieving a system for **improving the work of teachers** is to identify where they need help. 7. ### Do schools kill creativity? The last recommendation is probably the most famous TED Talk, based on the number of views — over 62 million, and it comes from Sir Ken Robinson. Every teacher out there should know what Sir Ken Robinson has to say the **education system** and how it actually punishes students for trying to be creative, instead of **nurturing the best environment** for them to develop their **innate creativity**.

This global accessibility ensures that high-quality education is no longer confined to urban centers or affluent communities but is available to learners in remote areas, promoting a more inclusive educational environment. ## Accommodating diverse learning needs Online education provides flexible learning options that cater to the diverse needs of students, including those with disabilities or learning difficulties. With customizable content, adjustable pacing, and assistive technologies, online platforms can offer personalized learning experiences that accommodate the unique preferences and requirements of each student, ensuring no one is left behind. ## Promoting socio-economic inclusivity The cost-effectiveness of online education opens doors for students from lower socio-economic backgrounds who might otherwise be unable to afford the expenses associated with traditional learning environments. By reducing or eliminating costs related to transportation, accommodation, and physical materials, online teaching makes education more accessible and inclusive. ## Fostering a supportive learning community Online teaching platforms facilitate the creation of vibrant, supportive communities where students can share experiences, resources, and encouragement. This sense of community is particularly beneficial for marginalized or underrepresented groups, providing a space where all voices are heard and valued, and fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion. ## Enhancing cultural awareness and sensitivity The global nature of online learning environments brings together students from various cultural backgrounds, enriching the educational experience through exposure to different perspectives and ways of thinking. This multicultural interaction promotes cultural awareness and sensitivity, preparing students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. ## Strategies for enhancing inclusivity in online teaching - **Implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL):** Adopt UDL principles to create flexible learning environments that accommodate the varied needs and preferences of all students. - **Provide accessible content:** Ensure that all online materials are accessible, including captioned videos, screen-reader-friendly texts, and alternative formats for those with specific learning needs. - **Cultivate an inclusive classroom culture:** Encourage respect, empathy, and open communication among students to build an inclusive online community where everyone feels valued. - **Offer tailored support services:** Provide additional support for students who may need it, including tutoring, counseling, and technical assistance, to ensure they have the resources necessary to succeed. - **Continuously seek feedback:** Regularly gather input from students their online learning experience to identify barriers to inclusivity and make necessary adjustments. ## A path towards more inclusive education Online teaching holds the promise of a more inclusive educational future, where learning opportunities are not limited by physical, geographical, or socio-economic constraints. By embracing the principles of inclusivity and continuously innovating to meet the needs of all learners, educators can leverage online platforms to create a more equitable and accessible learning environment for everyone.

And deciding which platform to use to introduce AI can feel daunting. But the benefits of doing it right far outweigh any challenges. Whether you’re just starting out with AI and are taking baby steps, or you’re already well underway and want to get an LMS that’s up to your level, CYPHER Learning is the AI-powered learning platform you need. Our fully integrated AI, CYPHER Agent, meets you where you are and helps you take the next steps with confidence. ## If you’re exploring AI initiatives but aren’t sure where to start AI has dramatically changed the technology landscape in every way, but it’s all so noisy that L&D leaders can struggle to see where AI can add value first. You may be able to see the value of AI in theory, but it can be a little harder knowing where to start, and with which learning technology partner. CYPHER can help. ## How CYPHER helps Role-based agent CYPHER Agent works with different users on different tasks, streamlining work and surfacing the right knowledge for the person using it. If you’re a course-creator, Agent helps you execute all of the many tasks that go into creating a course. If you’re a learner, Agent helps you get the knowledge you need for your role within your company, and takes into consideration your learning history. And there are more roles and tasks coming, so the solution will grow with you. High quality course creation Many platforms offer AI content generation, but only CYPHER Agent offers step-by-step course creation. This means that you can create a course (or just parts of it), and inspect the results at every step. For example, start by using Agent to create a course outline. You may choose to add or remove items and then have the AI generate the content, followed by adding quizzes, gamification, and more, reviewed and tweaked at every step. Content accuracy We’ve carefully configured CYPHER Agent to reduce risk of bias, hallucinations or inaccuracies, but we’ve also added a safeguard–AI Crosscheck. Any content generated by CYPHER Agent is crosschecked by another independent AI system that flags any hallucinations or inaccuracies for the user. No other AI content creation tool does this and it increases the validity of the content exponentially. Privacy Our relationship with our AI providers guarantees that the proprietary material that you use to build courses and your interactions with the solution will never be used to train the model or leave your CYPHER instance. The AI will only use your material to create the content you ask for within the platform. Any courses you create are yours alone. ## Administrator oversight You will always be able to see and control how AI is used within CYPHER. You can set which topics or subject areas are off limits and you can monitor which prompts are being used and by whom to confirm that the solution is being used appropriately.Here are a couple of quick, safe AI wins you can get with CYPHER: - Quickly create courses based on internal content, like policies and procedure reviews. - Increase the frequency with which you update internal courses by automating portions of the process. - Offer CYPHER Agent to learners to support learning outside of traditional courses. ## See how it works See how you can create a course See how CYPHER can help support your learners You can start exploring AI without sacrificing the learning management support that you need to manage your programs–onboarding, compliance training, skills development and more. CYPHER Learning is an award-winning LMS that empowers you to streamline your administrative work with robust automation, flexible content support, and personalizable learning paths.

All it takes is a few clicks to set up instructor-led, self-paced, blended, or micro learning courses, whichever suits your instructor's teaching style. These can then be customized to the needs of your learners. CYPHER Agent enables you to create courses in minutes using your own onboarding company content. ### Combine the power of CYPHER Agent with your unique content #### UPLOADED CONTENT With options to have CYPHER Agent pull exclusively from your uploaded content, you can quickly create courses tailored to your organization. Upload slide decks, company materials, or custom onboarding procedures. CYPHER Agent will take care of the rest. Create a full training course from the materials, complete with quizzes, gamification, competencies, and more. ### Support career paths #### UPSKILL LEARNERS Whether you’re creating onboarding programs or more advanced training coursework, use competency-based learning to track your employees’ skills and consolidate their knowledge. Build personalized programs based on your employees’ goals that give real results for your business. ### Build new skills #### SKILLS DEVELOPMENT Once you’ve established the right goals, the platform guides learners with recommendations on how to achieve them. These can be courses, learning paths, groups, and other types of learning materials. Once completed, learners are closer to meeting the established goals and upskilling requirements. ### Make learning engaging #### GAMIFICATION Learning through gamification boosts productivity and makes it an enjoyable experience, especially when points, badges, and other rewards are involved. Make courses even more fun by placing learners in different teams and keeping scores on a leaderboard. ### Compliance training #### COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT Companies that wish to track employee compliance can select the required courses and pick the period they are in compliance for once they’ve completed the course, and then establish if employees need to renew their compliance periodically. ### Automate onboarding tasks #### AUTOMATION Make learning faster, easier, and less tedious.

Maybe, if we design the curriculum to be more **flexible** and **adaptable** to meet the diverse needs of students, learning outcomes will improve for most of them. This is the basic idea of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). ### The 3 principles of UDL 1. Providing multiple means of representation Teachers should present the learning content in more than one way. 2. Providing multiple means of engagement Teachers need to identify the best way to spark an interest in students' minds with each lesson. 3. Providing multiple means of action and expression Students should be able to demonstrate their learning in various ways. ### How to implement UDL in the classroom 1. Ensure the flexibility of the physical learning environment In a UDL classroom there must be **flexible work spaces** for students. The classroom should include spaces for group instruction, small and large group work, and also for quiet individual work. 2. Establish clear learning goals with students UDL allows the learning journey to correspond to **students’ individual needs** and establish smaller and more **personalized goals** together with each student along the way. 3. Determine the types of content that best support student learning If students can’t access information, they can’t learn it. In a UDL classroom, **all learning content** — text, visuals, audio files, videos, etc. — **must be accessible** for all types of learners. 4. Consider together all the assessment types A UDL classroom offers multiple ways for students to prove mastery of new concepts. As long as they meet their learning goals students should be allowed to complete **various types of assignments**. 5. Agree on the purpose of feedback and grades With UDL, students get feedback as often as they need it, so they are able to continue their learning journey in the same direction or make adjustments if they somehow fall off the tracks. 6. Consider the supporting edtech tools UDL would **not be possible without technology**. Consider an **LMS** with adaptive learning features, personalized learning paths and many types of assessments, as well as other tools and websites. **Resources** - [CAST](http://www.cast.org/) - [ Universal Design for Learning](http://www.cast.org/our-work/-udl.html#.W7NklNMzbIU) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for **K-12** and Higher Ed.

Full podcast23:46 Jennifer, John, and Fiona share sharp insights on [5 bold predictions for 2025](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/bold-predictions-for-ai-in-2025) in the segments below. Don’t miss a single one – and stay tuned for a bonus tip at the end! ## Prediction #5: Personalized learning displaces old-school training By 2025, we expect personalized workplace development to become the new standard, displacing old-school training. Outdated, one-size-fits-all approaches that “sheep dip” learners will be replaced by a hybrid model, blending still-relevant traditional coursework with rich, interactive experiences. “The combination of these types of efficiency and personalized learning solutions with analytics really helps you ensure that you get training that's not just a checkbox, not just one size fits all, but something that actually evolves…and that's where we see tremendous value generation for businesses.” - *John Kannapell, President and COO at CYPHER Learning* “In England, we talk sheep dipping and one size fits all…it's not enough. There are a couple of areas that are developing now. I would see one as being adaptive learning.” - *Fiona Leteney, Senior Analyst at Fosway Group* John and Fiona dive into how AI is already tailoring courses for individuals and how learning agents will continue to enhance the personalized learning experience. Listen to the quick 4 minute segment personalized learning here: Prediction #53:47 ## Prediction #4: AI-enhanced customer service for all Customer-service horror stories incoherent chat agents or frustrating voice recognition systems may soon be history. By 2025, generative AI and AI-driven analytics are set to transform automated customer service, creating friendlier, more efficient customer interactions. “There's the shortening of those calls as well, because they've been able to answer the question quicker, but also those MPS scores have gone up massively. So I think that is really where customer service is going to be improved using AI massively.” - *Fiona Leteney, Senior Analyst at Fosway Group* Listen to the quick 4 minute segment AI-enhanced customer service here: Prediction #43:47 ## Prediction #3: AI breaks into the C-Suite With the growing relevance of AI in corporate strategy, we expect the emergence of a new, immediately vital C-Suite position: Chief AI Officer. CAOs will now take a leading role as AI becomes central to modern business—bringing both vast potential and unique risks. “That's where the C-Suite can really accelerate the adoption by showcasing those examples of where strategies are not only innovative, but also ethical and impactful.” - *John Kannapell, President and COO at CYPHER Learning* Listen to the quick 4 minute segment AI roles in leadership here: Prediction #33:45 ## Prediction #2: Prompt engineering becomes obsolete Not long ago, we were told that to use AI effectively, users would need to master complex prompt design—but this idea is quickly proving outdated. Generative AI is increasingly embedded as a user-friendly, intuitive feature in everyday applications, and soon, any app without AI will seem behind the curve. “I think I'm probably with you in the sense that we're not going to need to go on courses on how to do prompt engineering. I think the technology will help us so that we won't need to do that.” - *Fiona Leteney, Senior Analyst at Fosway Group* Listen to the quick 4 minute segment prompt engineering here: Prediction #24:34 ## Prediction #1: A news-worthy, high-profile blunder courtesy of AI A Fortune 500 leader will deliver a high-profile keynote containing uncorroborated passages produced by generative AI – and regret it. Someone we’ve all heard of is going to embarrass themselves by inadvertently relaying plagiarized or inaccurate AI-generated content. “So I think the takeaway here is clear. AI can be an incredible asset. Just make sure it doesn't write your keynote without a second glance. I mean, human governance is a must to avoid these costly blunders. So don't forget the 80-20 rule - human intervention is still there. We need that oversight.” - *Jennifer Geisler, CMO at CYPHER Learning* Listen to the quick 4 minute segment AI oversight here: Prediction #13:50 ## Bonus insights After diving into these different predictions, John and Fiona share their final thoughts and encouragements. As AI continues to grow and become more prevalent, they urge businesses to be optimistic and embrace new, unique AI capabilities, but also to focus on the right applications for AI as to enhance your employees, not replace them. “So whether it's up-skilling or improving customer experience, their key point is, where do we think AI can add tangible value that's measurable?…and so it's not seen as replacing the human element, but really amplifying the growth and opportunities for employees.” - *John Kannapell, President and COO at CYPHER Learning* Listen to final 2 minute insights here: Bonus insights2:06 Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [News blog](/blog/news) [Podcast](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/podcast) --- ## Infographic: Mentoring types for trainers » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/business/types-of-mentoring-every-trainer-should-know-about **Last Modified:** 2025-01-27 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For business # 5 Types of mentoring every trainer should know A mentor is a **trusted counselor** or guide, whose origins can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Mentoring requires a long term relationship where the primary goal is to **support the personal and professional growth** of the mentee. Such a person does wonders for one’s professional development as many organizations have **established programs** to help younger employees **receive guidance** from their more experienced peers. Here’s a breakdown of all the business-related versions of mentoring: 1. ### One-on-one mentoring This is the most common mentoring mode as it pairs **one mentor with one mentee**. The two develop a **personal relationship** in which the mentor is able to provide individual guidance and support. It also requires minimal involvement from the HR department as the schedules are easily agreed between two people. 2. ### Resource-based mentoring Resource-based mentoring is fairly similar to one-on-one mentoring. The most important difference is that mentors and mentees are not interviewed and matched by the person in charge of the program. Instead, mentors agree to have their **names added to a list** that mentees are able **to choose** from. 3. ### Group mentoring In this case, the mentor works with several people at once. The group has regular meetings to discuss certain topics. This is a mix of **senior and peer mentoring** as everybody shares their opinions and experiences. However, as is often the case with groups, it could be difficult to schedule meetings that accommodate everybody. 4. ### Training-based mentoring This version combines mentoring with a **specific training program**. A mentor is assigned to a mentee in order to help **develop skills and competencies** that are also covered in the courses that the mentee is enrolled in. Training-based mentoring is rather limited as the focus isn’t on the overall development of the mentee. 5. ### Executive mentoring Executives who have reached a high level of success get to **share their knowledge**. In this way, their expertise doesn’t leave the company when they do. Executive mentoring works best one-on-one, especially when the mentor is actually teaching the mentee how to **take over their position**.

The findings show 88% of business owners and C-level execs are given a choice on when, where and how they do training; compared to just 37% of entry level employees. Furthermore, 42% of owners and C-suite executives who had training in the past year said they’d had more training than the previous year – while just 17% of intermediate or entry-level workers said they’d had more training than the previous year. In addition to the amount of training on offer, business owners and C-level executives are almost three times more likely to call training “enjoyable” compared to junior employees and are at least two times more likely to call training “inspiring.” Conversely, 42% of intermediate and junior staff struggle with “boring and unengaging” training; with more than one third (36%) agreeing that workplace L&D has become “death by PowerPoint.” “When someone is starting out their career, that’s usually when they’re most in need of training. Too often, they don’t get it, which can keep teams and individuals back from reaching their full potential,” comments Graham Glass, CEO of CYPHER Learning. “For higher performance, businesses can reset the balance by delivering quality, ‘executive-style’ training to staff at *all* levels.” Learning and development (L&D) is regarded as a crucial factor in achieving business growth, employee satisfaction and successful recruitment. Analyzing this, the survey of 4000 general workers in US and UK companies with over 500 employees reveals: - 98% of all workers believe training is important for their role, with two-thirds (64%) agreeing that professional development has given them a competitive advantage. - Over three-quarters (76%) are more likely to stay with an employer that prioritizes training, with 71% agreeing that “a company that doesn’t invest in training doesn’t care its employees.” - Despite this, almost one fifth of all workers (17%) have not received any training at all in the last 12 months. Of those that have had training, some fail to see the benefits: One-in-twenty (5%) say they have received no benefit from training. 31% believe they are not prepared for future skills challenges. A third (34%) forgot their training within a month of completing it. - It’s perhaps unsurprising that over a quarter (26%) of respondents see current training as a waste of money, offering no business value. “Employees clearly place high value on training, which is why it can help to attract top talent. In fact, employees rank training as high a priority as healthcare,” said Glass. “But not all training programs are created equal! A system that delivers forgettable, generalized content, or doesn’t keep workers competitive, is less valuable to them and the organization alike.” Analyzing what learners want from their training reveals most are focused on using development to improve their job performance. The top three desired outcomes include: improving their skills (45%), increasing their performance at work (45%) and driving up the quality of their work (39%). When looking at how L&D efforts could support them in these goals, 41% of workers that have received training in the last year call for it to be more tailored to their job roles. Furthermore, 39% believe development should be more fun and engaging, with only 15% of respondents saying training they have received was fun. Introducing gamification elements, as well as technology like AR and VR, would make training more fun, according to two-thirds (67%) of workers. “It’s crucial that businesses modernize their development programs. But that’s harder with outdated infrastructure, content and resources. Greater personalization at scale takes a more agile platform – something that supports competency-based skills development one employee at a time. Such a platform can foster a culture of habitual reskilling that unlocks more potential organization-wide and keeps the innovation engine purring,” Glass concludes.

It allows students from remote or disaster-stricken areas to continue their learning journey without the need for physical classrooms. This universal access is crucial in maintaining educational continuity during crises, making geography a non-issue in the pursuit of knowledge. ## Ensuring continuity in the face of disruptions The adaptability of e-learning platforms means that education can persist through almost any disruption, be it natural disasters, pandemics, or political unrest. E-learning provides a stable and consistent learning environment that can quickly adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring that the educational process remains uninterrupted, regardless of external factors. ## Facilitating flexible learning experiences E-learning introduces unparalleled flexibility in how, when, and where education is delivered. It accommodates individual learning styles and schedules, offering asynchronous and synchronous options that cater to diverse needs. This flexibility is key in minimizing the impact of disruptions on students' educational progress and well-being. ## Leveraging advanced technologies for enhanced learning The integration of advanced technologies such as AI, VR, and AR into e-learning platforms transforms the educational experience, making it more engaging and interactive. These technologies can simulate real-world environments for practical learning, provide personalized learning paths, and foster a deeper understanding of complex subjects. This innovative approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also ensures that education can evolve and progress, even in challenging times. ## Promoting inclusivity and equity E-learning plays a significant role in promoting inclusivity and equity in education. It provides equal opportunities for all learners, including those with disabilities, to access high-quality education. By offering customizable learning materials and interfaces, e-learning ensures that education is accessible to everyone, paving the way for a more inclusive educational landscape. ## Strengthening community and support networks E-learning platforms facilitate the creation of vibrant online communities where learners and educators can connect, share resources, and support each other. These communities are vital in times of crisis, offering emotional support, fostering resilience, and ensuring that no learner feels isolated or left behind. ## Preparing for the future: The way forward with e-learning As we look to the future, the importance of e-learning in building a disaster-proof education system is undeniable. The challenge lies in ensuring equitable access to technology, enhancing the quality of online content, and training educators to effectively use e-learning tools. By addressing these challenges, we can unlock the full potential of e-learning and ensure that education remains resilient, adaptive, and inclusive, regardless of the challenges ahead. ## A resilient educational future with e-learning E-learning is not just an alternative to traditional education; it's a vital component of a disaster-proof educational framework. By harnessing the power of technology, we can ensure that education remains unyielding in the face of adversity, continuing to enlighten, empower, and inspire learners around the world. The journey towards a resilient educational future is ongoing, and e-learning is leading the way.

Some may be able or willing to solve tasks on time, but others may struggle to do so. Teachers will always have students who can’t finish tasks in due time, find it challenging to focus throughout a class, work slowly or inconsistently, or have difficulties following multi-step directions. Since the beginning of formal education, teachers have been trying to accommodate all students in their classrooms to the best of their knowledge. If you have slow-working students in your classroom and want to help them catch up and reach milestones, you should first make sure to rule out any possible psychological barriers that could affect their processing speed or other cognitive issues. Next, you should devise an intervention scheme that is structured on the [three As principle:](https://www.beyondbooksmart.com/executive-functioning-strategies-blog/4-tips-for-coping-with-slow-processing-speed) - **Accepting**means that the students need to feel accepted in the learning environment and teachers can provide them a safe place for growth; - **Accommodating**refers to the due diligence a teacher has to exercise to provide a suitable learning environment for all students; - **Advocating**implies the support teachers offer slow-working students throughout their learning journey. It also involves other stakeholders, such as parents and the community, who can also support students.

Here are the most common ideas I’ve gathered from fellow teachers you can implement in your classroom to help you manage slow-working students: ### Reduce distractions and create awareness Students work well in various environments, but some need quiet places. Observe your students and [reduce distractions](https://edwiser.org/blog/8-strategies-to-reduce-distractions/) if and when you see fit. This helps students stay focused on the tas k at hand. You can also help them become aware of what distracts them the most and write those moments on post-its. It will not work for everyone, but some students will focus better if they can identify what causes the distraction. Read more: [Teaching students how to manage digital distractions](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/teaching-students-how-to-manage-digital-distractions/) ### Acknowledge students’ struggles Students need encouragement whenever they succeed, but most of all, when the progress is not significant or the results are not noticeable. It’s up to us to pay attention and encourage our students through all the moments of their learning process. Moreover, students may experience struggles or concerns that make them work slowly. You can let them know it’s OK to feel overwhelmed, scared, or embarrassed. They should be able to embrace their feelings, accept them and consider them a starting point in their learning journey. ### Use a timer A timer can be a wonderful tool when you have slow-working students. It will allow them to be more aware of the time they have left to complete a task and make them feel in control. Also, it helps keep students connected to the present moment. ### Break down tasks Complex tasks can be hard to manage for some students, so you can try breaking them down into bite-sized pieces for students to solve easier without losing their focus, providing them a chance to feel a sense of achievement through achieving small steps. As a result, they gain confidence in their ability to finish tasks and they will tackle challenges with more ease. ### Provide an estimated time for each activity Let students know beforehand how much time they have available for tasks in general. If the activity you ask them to do has multiple tasks, assign time for each so students can organize their time. ### Work with checklists Although checklists can be stressful at first, after overcoming the many tasks or steps of an activity, students can see what they have to do and how much time they have to finish. When students cross out the things they manage to finish, they can focus on the remaining ones and organize their time efficiently. ### Model the activity and provide clarifications Give your students clear instructions and repeat them in simple sentences to ensure comprehension and then show them how to solve the tasks. When you provide a model, students see the task is achievable, understand the requirements and have more confidence. ### Alternate between different task types and difficulty levels Students get distracted quickly, so varying between types of tasks, degrees of difficulty and length will keep your students engaged and in anticipation of what’s next. Breaking the routine is also essential to create the element of surprise, which maintains your students’ motivation and engagement. ### Provide extra time to finish tasks Personalize the tasks or adapt the timing of a task according to your students’ needs. Give students extra time to increase the likelihood of success. On the flip side, make sure you provide equal attention to early finishers to keep them active and avoid boredom. ### Assign a helper When struggling students [receive help from a peer](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/teaching-empathy-for-better-learning-outcomes/), they bond and pay attention to their explanations, increasing comprehension and task completion. You can ask an early finisher to help the slow-working students. Both will be satisfied to have worked together, the helpers for making themselves useful and acting as a teacher and the slow-working students for managing to finish the tasks in due time. ### Offer rewards Students react positively to any type of reward, so make sure you have something prepared just in case. If you’re using a learning platform during class, they can receive badges and points. However, you can also use small rewards such as colored pencils or the chance to represent the class in school events or activities. Students become more involved in tasks when they look forward to something. And we are all good at anticipating what gets our students excited. ### Involve the parents Parents are a key element in students' progress. Parents can support teachers in providing the best learning conditions for everyone. Creating routines at to help students complete tasks in less time will contribute to the students' progress through practice. ## To sum up All classrooms are different, yet these ideas can help teachers manage slow-working students. Some of the elements of success are recognizing distractors, becoming more organized, and not giving up.

Teachers should support and encourage it all the while without ignoring the importance of communication and teamwork. Students need to be able to learn at their own pace to better grasp and retain information Self-paced, [personalized learning](/blog/k-20/5-key-elements-of-personalized-learning) allows them to gradually accumulate knowledge and competencies according to their needs and level. Student autonomy in the classroom is important both for learners and teachers. It helps them find a balance between frontal lessons and individual study, interaction and reflection, formal evaluation and self-assessment. Today’s educational technology makes it easier to support student autonomy in the classroom and beyond it. One of the most popular tools that achieve this goal is the [learning management system](/academia) (LMS). Learn how your school LMS can empower students and help them become efficient autonomous learners. ## Why is student autonomy in the classroom so important? The benefits of student autonomy in the classroom and, in general, in life, are undeniable. For example, an independent student will be better equipped to face personal and professional challenges without constantly relying on others. At the same time, each student has a different learning pace. For teachers, it's next to impossible to adapt to each student's needs without allowing them to learn autonomously. Autonomous learning boosts their: - Sense of independence; - Time-management skills; - Confidence; - Problem-solving skills; - Logical thinking. More autonomy also makes learning more engaging and effective. It prevents boredom and also helps teachers find the right pace for their classes and [avoid burnout](https://www.waterford.org/education/how-to-prevent-teacher-burnout/#:~:text=Use%20these%20five%20tips%20on%20how%20to%20avoid,you%20have%20too%20much%20on%20your%20plate%20%5B25%5D). Allowing students to take more ownership of their learning allows teachers to take a break for a bit. Student autonomy in the classroom is also essential for their future careers. Working independently and being able to self-manage are must-have abilities for today's employees. Equipping students with future-ready skills is one of the main aspects educational institutions should focus on nowadays. Preparing students for their future jobs by teaching them how to effectively learn on their own builds a reliable and skilled workforce. ## How to encourage student autonomy in the classroom There are myriad ways to promote student autonomy in the classroom and beyond, especially if you use an LMS. Here are a few common strategies that support student autonomy. ### Flipped classes The [flipped classroom](/blog/k-20/exploring-4-types-of-flipped-learning) allows students to acquire new concepts at via engaging videos, online courses, or even game-based learning. Thus, more classroom time can go toward communication, debate, teamwork, and other group activities that support social learning. ### Team and individual projects Asking students to complete and deliver a project within a strict deadline is a great way to boost their time-management skills, ability to prioritize, and in the case of group projects – collaboration skills. Projects are easier to organize, assign, and track thanks to digital tools, especially if teachers use various [LMS features](/academia/features) such as team assignments. ### Personal goals Setting learning and personal goals is another habit that will help students become more independent. Goals offer a structured approach to learning. They help track their progress, pinpoint student weaknesses and strengths, and continuously improve. Therefore, it's important to teach students [how to set goals](https://positivepsychology.com/goal-setting-students-kids/#:~:text=According%20to%20Education%20World%2C%20there%20are%20six%20key,Create%20a%20specific%20action%20plan%20for%20each%20goal.), track, and achieve them. ### Self-evaluation Self-evaluation is intrinsic to learning autonomy.Together with teacher evaluation, it plays an essential role in enabling students to become self-aware, grounded, and results-oriented learners. Quizzes are among the LMS features that make self-evaluation easy, and we'll tell you more them in a bit. ### Student feedback Student feedback improves your teaching skills and enhances student-teacher communication, given that [successful teaching relies on 50% knowledge and 50% communication skills](https://www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/hub/communication-skills-for-teachers/). Feedback also helps students gain more ownership in their learning. By communicating their wants, needs, and concerns, they become more involved in what is happening in the classroom. Autonomy-supportive teachers regularly ask for student feedback and adapt their classes, evaluation method, and expectations accordingly.

Some of these systems are now turning into [intelligent learning platforms](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbKye2JiLU) that provide next-level content recommendations and track and tweak their content based on user behavior. They don’t only help educators teach and assess students. They also support students’ self-paced learning needs, their ability to self-assess their skills and provide access to the most suitable content based on their goals, and interests. Here are the top eight LMS features that support student autonomy in the classroom: ### 1. Competency-based learning and automation Student autonomy is not just letting students learn at their own pace. It’s also connected to [competency-based learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/competency-based-education/). With an LMS, teachers can design classes, resources, and assessments according to their students’ capabilities. This is done by associating competencies (or student skills) to the content students have to learn. For example, geography classes can have associated competencies related to: - US climate: recognizing the types of climate in the US); - US surface: knowing the overall surface of the US and that of specific states; - Natural phenomena: distinguishing the major natural phenomena and their causes; - Meteorology: knowing the most important stages of the weather forecast. Each competency can also be associated with an assignment students have to complete on the platform to get graded. Once they log in, students can see the competencies they’ve already mastered and those they haven’t. A student who had trouble understanding meteorology and was unable to pass the test at the end of the meteorology class, can resume that class and take the quiz again. They will see in real-time their results, so they can re-take the assessment as many times as needed. The teacher sees the student’s progress on the platform and wastes no time checking their test as it is automatically graded. Only after the student has managed to complete the quiz, the platform unlocks the next class or module. So, they basically have to prove they master certain skills to be able to progress. Competency-based learning is a learner-centered, autonomous, and automated learning process if you use an LMS.

Personalized learning paths Student autonomy in the classroom is also enabled by [designing personalized learning paths](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/the-role-of-the-lms-in-designing-personalized-learning-paths-for-students/) in the LMS. Learning paths are personalized learning flows that allow students to gradually progress. Learning paths are flexible in an LMS. They allow you to mix class sections with a variety of resources and content from other classes. You can add assignments, challenges, and [gamification features](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/how-to-set-up-a-classroom-gamification-level-system/) such as trophies and certificates along the way. Learning paths promote student autonomy because they are: - **Personalized** according to each student’s level; - **Flexible**, as you can constantly adapt them and make them more complex; - Require**autonomy** as each student has their individual path. As they move along the learning path, students acquire and demonstrate new knowledge in a personalized and engaging way. They also have the chance to see their progress and figure out how much time and steps they still need to take to complete a path. *Personalized learning paths encourage students to reach their learning goals and adapts to their needs.* ### 3. Auto-graded quizzes Student autonomy is tightly connected to students’ ability to self-assess their skills. LMSs support student self-evaluation via different types of assessments such as quizzes and essays. You can set them up in minutes and once students complete them, you’ll simply have an overview of their grades in your digital grade book. Auto-graded quizzes are an excellent way to help students quickly figure out what their level is based on the scores they get after completing each quiz. You can allow students to take a quiz multiple times or just once and set a certain number of attempts. This allows you to set certain assessment standards based on your expectations and students’ level. *Auto-graded quizzes are among the most common and useful tools for self-assessment.* Read more: [9 Types of assignments teachers can create in their LMS to evaluate student progress](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/9-types-of-assignments/) ### 4. Surveys Surveys encourage students to self-reflect, analyze, and express themselves. You can create surveys on various topics depending on what you aim for. You can even create a survey to [assess students’ autonomy necessities](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/lude questions such as: - How many hours a week do you dedicate to independent study? - Do you prefer learning on your own or in the classroom? - Do you think classes should focus more on independent learning activities? - To what degree do you consider yourself an efficient autonomous learner? Surveys help teachers understand their students’ needs, wants, and motivations. They help them tweak their classes accordingly and provide students with the level of learning autonomy they truly need. ### 5. Ratings and reviews Students can rate the classes they take in an LMS. This feature is not only useful for teachers because it helps them create more engaging class content. It also promotes student autonomy as learners see the classes and resources their classmates found more appealing. So, they can access those resources directly and enjoy the most suitable content for their needs based on other students’ opinions. An LMS class rating can be displayed as a five-star system. Students can also write a review to help others understand what they can expect from a certain class. *Students can give feedback through class ratings and reviews.* ### 6. AI recommendations and personalized goals AI recommendations are part of the LMS features you can find in more advanced systems that have migrated toward [intelligent learning platforms](/blog/k-20/intelligent-learning-platform-for-schools-and-universities/). AI recommendations are powered by robust artificial intelligence algorithms that track user behavior to suggest the most appropriate content. This recommendations system is not new. You’ve probably seen it dozens of times before, in e-commerce for example. If you buy something from an online shop or marketplace, the next time you log into your account, you’ll automatically see recommended products resembling your latest purchase. This is how an LMS also sends personalized recommendations to students aiming to help them find the best educational content for their level and needs. These accurate recommendations can help students progress faster in their self-paced study and [close their learning gaps with the help of edtech](/blog/k-20/how-to-close-learning-gaps-with-the-help-of-an-intelligent-learning-platform/). Students have the freedom to decide which recommendations to take. They can also rate recommendations, using the same five-star system that’s available for class ratings, and even dismiss recommendations. Therefore, they get plenty of autonomy in choosing the resources they want to use based on their learning goals. These recommendations can help students - Save time on looking for resources on their own; - Get instant access to tailored content; - Enjoy a variety of resources. Not all the recommended content the LMS provides has to come from school classes. Intelligent learning systems connect to the world wide web, so they can provide third-party content recommendations such as articles or essays from different websites. ### 7. Communication features Features such as groups, chats, and forums are great [ways to promote student collaboration in digital spaces](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/4-ways-to-promote-collaboration-in-digital-spaces/). You might wonder why this feature is included among a series of LMS tools that aim to boost student autonomy instead. Well, communication features also aid student autonomy. They do this by helping students engage in self-study easier. Whenever a student encounters a problem and needs help, they can quickly write a question in a group or chat and get an answer from a colleague or teacher almost instantly. These LMS features allow teachers to gather different resources and make it easier for students to access them in one place, while also enabling them to stay up-to-date with their goals and assignments. *Communication tools such as forums are great for discussing lessons, asking questions, or upcoming activities.* ### 8. Digital portfolios Digital portfolios enable students to keep a record of their work. Here, they can include their most important projects, essays, and other materials they’ve been working on individually. Each student gets a digital portfolio in the LMS. They can access it at any time to upload the work they’re most proud of, so they can showcase it to teachers or parents. Students can easily organize their digital portfolios into different folders for each class. Portfolios are a great way to [start building a professional mindset](https://www.aitsl.edu.au/docs/default-source/general/developing-a-professional-mindset.pdf?sfvrsn=750fe33c_0). It helps students evaluate their progress and pick the results they’re most proud of, an approach they will later apply to their line of work, especially if they want to become freelancers or start a company. Digital portfolios boost students’ self-analysis skills, as well as their self-confidence by enabling them to re-evaluate their work. ## Supporting student autonomy in the classroom and beyond Autonomy in the classroom is essential, especially in the post-lockdown world that sees a great shift in how people work and study. If communication and collaboration skills were highly valued before the pandemic, many employers now understand the importance of autonomy, good self-management, and self-assessment skills. All these are areas students need to improve in school so they can be prepared for tomorrow’s competitive work environment. Thanks to their robust features, LMSs promote autonomous study in various ways. Thus, they boost students’ critical thinking skills, help them evolve at their own pace, and constantly self-evaluate their knowledge and competencies.

Key objectives include maintaining a strong culture through intentional principles: promoting a growth mindset with continuous learning opportunities, enhancing communication and collaboration, and delivering customer-focused solutions using the “Jobs to Be Done” framework. Learning, training, and education are integral to achieving these goals, as they empower employees with leadership and communication skills, reinforce empathy in a supportive workplace, and drive innovation aligned with customer success. “Since adopting the CYPHER platform, our learning and training processes have become significantly more streamlined and efficient.” Carolyn Pilgrom, Director, Onboarding, Adoption, and Training (OATs) INDUSTRY center COMPANY SIZE Medium enterprise HEADQUARTERS Boulder, CO SERVICES infrastructure and Workforce management Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Needed a platform that was easy to use for customers and administrators - Required customization options to tailor course creation and learning modules - Scalability was critical to support business growth Before implementing CYPHER, Aspect struggled with an outdated, cumbersome platform that frustrated both customers and administrators. Course creation required external tools, leading to inefficiencies, while limited customization options prevented the company from **tailoring training to specific needs**. Scalability was another key challenge. The previous system couldn’t accommodate larger learning groups, making it difficult to support a **growing customer base**. Additionally, certification tracking required a **third-party solution**, adding unnecessary friction to the learning process. ## The solution - Streamlined training processes and course delivery - CYPHER Agent enabled fast, engaging content creation - Custom learning paths enhanced sales training The intuitive CYPHER interface, built-in content creation tools, and robust customization capabilities transformed Aspect’s learning and development strategy. CYPHER Agent revolutionized content creation, allowing Aspect to **move away from clunky SCORM-based programs** and instead quickly **build engaging courses from scratch**. This shift saved time, improved efficiency, and increased learner engagement. The **Organization feature** provided another breakthrough, **enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency**. Customers could now access reports through custom portals, eliminating the need for manual report building and distribution — a major time saver for administrators. For the **sales team**, CYPHER enabled Aspect to **build a structured training program from the ground up**. Previously trained by word-of-mouth, the team now follows custom learning paths covering product overviews and key sales processes such as the Customer Value Proposition. As a result, **sales representatives are now better equipped in early sales cycles**, relying less on technical representatives for foundational product knowledge. “The sales team is enjoying the new platform and find it much easier to navigate and use than our previous product. The training is much more concise and informative as well.” Carolyn Pilgrom, Director, Onboarding, Adoption, and Training (OATs) ## The results - 3x productivity in content creation - Converted a majority of preexisting content in just 2 months - Significant positive feedback from users during beta testing Since implementing CYPHER, content creation productivity has **tripled**, enabling Aspect to **convert most of its existing training content in just two months**. The streamlined workflow has eliminated inefficiencies, and users have responded positively to the new platform’s**ease of use**and **interactivity**. By leveraging AI-powered content creation, automation, and scalability, CYPHER has helped Aspect modernize its training strategy, enabling faster, **more effective learning experiences that scale with business growth**. “Aspect Education has gone from cumbersome and tedious to innovative and interesting, thanks to the powerful tools in CYPHER Learning.” Carolyn Pilgrom, Director, Onboarding, Adoption, and Training (OATs) ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

Our students need us to guide them through their learning process and offer them feedback every step of the way. In a face-to-face setting, giving feedback is easy and timely, enabling students to regulate their learning process faster and improve their level of knowledge and retention from an academic standpoint. However, as a teacher, I found giving feedback online less straightforward and efficient. That's why I’ve been exploring some online tools to help me give my students the feedback they need, when they need it, in a variety of formats that  resonate with them. ## 6 Digital tools for giving feedback to students Students' learning curve is directly linked to the type of feedback they receive. The online feedback can be in written, audio, or video format. As teachers, we should leverage feedback that turns our students from passive receivers of information into active learners, even if it means turning to edtech tools we are unfamiliar with. Here are six digital tools for giving feedback to students that empowers them and helps them evolve: 1. ### Kaizena Kaizena is a Google Docs add-on that includes voice comments, lessons, and skills. You can highlight and record a voice comment without leaving Google Docs. You can be even more efficient with the Lessons feature by attaching previously saved feedback. What's more, anyone who is a collaborator on Google Docs can provide feedback with Kaizena. Teachers can also track students’ progress using Skills. Students can now request feedback for specific areas in their text. The teacher receives a notification to return to the file and provide clarifications. Students can answer the feedback via text or voice. 2. ### Audacity [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/) is an open-source platform that allows you to record and edit your feedback before sharing it with your students. Giving audio feedback is productive for teachers because they can give it faster and students, benefit from authentic, timely, and personalized feedback. [Audio feedback](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0040059920908901) allows you to connect with your students similarly to onsite classes. Students hear your voice and understand the subtleties of your tone. As long as you don't focus only on negative feedback, your interventions will have the desired outcome. 3. ### Flipgrid [Flipgrid](https://info.flipgrid.com/) is a wonderful tool for teachers to use when giving feedback. You can add comments to your students’ videos, send private text feedback, record private video feedback and grade their ideas and performance. Students don't need an account on the platform to receive feedback. You can generate a link to the video feedback and send it to the students in the desired way, either through the [class LMS](/academia) or social media. While audio feedback offers students a new learning experience, video feedback humanizes it more. Students can hear and see your excitement over their work or receive clarifications for targeted feedback. 4. ### Screencastify [Screencastify](https://www.screencastify.com/) is a cloud-based screen recording program that facilitates giving feedback. You can create screencasts of your students’ work and record yourself commenting on them, or you can create videos while you check your student's work and provide feedback along the way. You can also use the annotation tools to direct the focus onto specific aspects. Although using Screencastify is a little bit time-consuming, the workload is manageable compared to the benefits. You can model ways of improvement that students can internalize at their pace by revisiting the videos anytime they need them. Also, [video feedback](https://www.edutopia.org/article/using-videos-give-students-personalized-feedback) can serve as guided learning in which you provide a pathway to go through and allow students to correct their mistakes taking ownership over their learning process. With video, you can offer differentiated feedback and clarity. Written feedback can sometimes be misleading, and students don't understand your points of view. But video feedback is clear and centered on specific aspects that are easy to follow and understand. Thus, students can perform the necessary changes to improve their overall work. You can also provide extra resources and explanations in these videos. 5. ### Vocaroo [Vocaroo](https://vocaroo.com/) is a web-based online voice recorder that doesn’t require a user profile or a login system. You can make your recording and share the link on the platform of your choice. It's easy to use and is more time-efficient than using a red pen on paper. You can make audio recordings to offer personalized feedback and stay connected to your students. It's not time-consuming since we generally speak faster than we write. Students can save the links to access the feedback again to deepen their understanding. 6. ### Talk and Comment [Talk and Comment](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/talk-and-comment-voice-no/djnhkfljnimcpelfndpcjcgngmefaobl) is a Chrome extension that allows you to make voice notes and comments on any site. You record your voice using the widget from your browser and paste the generated link where you want. With this feature, you can provide personalized feedback while you read your students' work. It's faster than checking assignments on paper. Also, receiving timely feedback translates into better understanding and increased student engagement. ## All in all Feedback is a teacher's super-power. Learning cannot take place if feedback isn't a part of the process. When students receive timely, personalized feedback, they become aware of their level of knowledge or performance and what they need to improve. Teachers have to be the pillars they can count on in their trial and error journey. Edtech makes the process easier and faster, helping students evolve and reach their goals.

Mientras intentamos aumentar la interacción de los estudiantes con el contenido, es posible que probar algunas ideas diferentes o incorporar juegos en el salón de clases sea justo el estímulo que estábamos buscando. Hace alrededor de cinco años, fui con mi clase a una muestra de tecnología para estudiantes. Al poco tiempo, los estudiantes estaban aburridos, no se comunicaban y necesitaban algo para hacer. Se me ocurrió la idea de jugar a [Quizlet Live!](https://quizlet.com/live) en el autobús. No era necesario un tablero para mostrar las preguntas, y los estudiantes podían colaborar entre ellos y desarrollar sus habilidades de trabajo en equipo mientras jugaban y pasaban el tiempo en el autobús... ¡y todo aprendiendo! Hubo otras oportunidades en las que he estado fuera del salón de clases y utilizado Quizlet Live! u otra herramienta de aprendizaje lúdico para que los estudiantes participen juntos en una actividad educativa y poder hacer un seguimiento de su progreso. El uso de estas herramientas ha sido una excelente manera de involucrar a todos los estudiantes juntos en una experiencia educativa, sin importar el tipo de aprendizaje, ya sea remoto, en persona o híbrido. Durante todo el año, aunque hayamos estado en clases completamente virtuales o híbridas, gracias a estas herramientas, podemos jugar un juego, y puedo proporcionarles comentarios oportunos y significativos. Esto también es beneficioso para las experiencias de aprendizaje asincrónico o para proporcionarles actividades de enriquecimiento adicionales. Estas herramientas pueden mejorar las formas en las que los estudiantes colaboran y se comunican, mientras que los ayudan a desarrollar habilidades esenciales de aprendizaje socioemocional (SEL, por sus siglas en inglés). Más información: [Cómo comenzar a impartir clases con un modelo híbrido](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/como-comenzar-a-impartir-clases-con-un-modelo-hibrido/) ## Cinco herramientas en línea asombrosas para el aprendizaje lúdico A medida que usamos un poco más estas herramientas, he notado que los estudiantes interactúan más con el contenido y se sienten conectados entre ellos, incluso aunque no se encuentren en el mismo espacio, ya sea físico o virtual. Mediante los comentarios que reciben después de jugar a un juego o de completar una actividad, pueden hacer un mejor seguimiento de su progreso y establecer nuevos objetivos de aprendizaje. El uso de diferentes herramientas digitales para el aprendizaje lúdico también les permite ser más conscientes de sus necesidades específicas a través de los comentarios que reciben. Los educadores pueden acceder y revisar con rapidez los datos, y configurar las lecciones como corresponda y de formas más personalizadas. Aquí presentamos cinco herramientas para explorar en este nuevo año escolar: 1. ### Bingo Baker [Bingo Baker](https://bingobaker.com/) es una forma rápida de crear o de buscar tarjetas de bingo para usar en clase o de forma virtual. Tiene miles de tarjetas disponibles para escoger, o puedes crear rápidamente las propias con imágenes o palabras. Para jugar, debes imprimir las tarjetas o puedes compartir un enlace con los estudiantes para que generen sus propias tarjetas en sus dispositivos. Durante el juego, se crea la “tarjeta del que canta bingo” para ayudar a jugarlo. Los estudiantes pueden generar tarjetas digitales nuevas después de cada partida. Es una opción divertida para los estudiantes en la clase y en el hogar. 2. ### Blooket [Blooket](https://www.blooket.com/) es un juego nuevo que comenzamos a jugar el año pasado, y es uno de los favoritos de mis estudiantes. Existen múltiples formas de jugar, ya sea en vivo, regulado por los estudiantes o como práctica de tarea. Los estudiantes mantienen la motivación gracias a las diferentes modalidades que hay para escoger. En el modo Gold Quest, pueden intercambiar oro y, en varios puntos del juego, un porcentaje de sus artículos se reduce al azar. Aunque algunos estudiantes a veces se frustran un poco, esto ayuda a mantenerlos enfocados en el juego porque no hay forma de predecir quién terminará primero en el marcador. Promueve la conversación entre ellos y es una excelente forma para que practiquen el contenido que están aprendiendo. Más información: [La ludificación en el salón de clases: pequeños cambios y grandes resultados](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/la-ludificacion-en-el-salon-de-clases-pequenos-cambios-y-grandes-resultados-2/) 3. ### Educandy [Educandy](https://www.educandy.com/) es un divertido sitio web que descubrí este año, y ha resultado ser una experiencia divertida tanto para los estudiantes como para los educadores. Ofrece ocho opciones para crear actividades a fin de ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar competencias de vocabulario y mucho más. Algunas de las opciones incluyen anagramas, preguntas con opción múltiple, búsquedas de palabras y varias otras opciones de juegos. Una buena forma de experimentar lo que ofrece Educandy es comenzar con algunos juegos de ejemplo antes de crear los propios. Simplemente comparte el código del juego con los estudiantes para que jueguen a su propio ritmo. 4. ### Gimkit [Gimkit](https://www.gimkit.com/) es una de las tantas herramientas de aprendizaje lúdico que ha resultado ser una de las favoritas de mis estudiantes. Al igual que con otras herramientas similares, les permite tener experiencias educativas más personalizadas, ya que promueve una mayor retención del contenido mediante preguntas repetitivas, y hay varias formas de jugar dentro y fuera del salón de clases. Una funcionalidad nueva es Gimkit Draw, donde los estudiantes escogen una palabra para dibujar, y sus compañeros tienen que adivinarla a medida que aparece en la pantalla. Hay muchas formas de jugar en Gimkit, y los educadores tienen acceso a datos excelentes para guiar la enseñanza. 5. ### PuzzGrid [Puzz Grid](https://puzzgrid.com/) es un juego más nuevo que encontré que resultó ser muy divertido y también entretenido para que los estudiantes creen el propio. Para promover la colaboración, intenta usar una sala de reuniones virtuales y pídeles a los estudiantes que trabajen juntos para crear su propio juego de PuzzGrid. Es una especie de “cuatro en línea” y los ayuda a practicar el vocabulario y a colaborar. Usé mi dirección de correo electrónico para que envíen la grilla, así siempre tenemos acceso al enlace para editarlo de ser necesario. El juego ofrece una forma de práctica más interesante que impulsó a los estudiantes no solo a pensar en lo que significan las palabras, sino a pensar más detenidamente en la conexión entre ellas. ## En conclusión Estas son solo algunas de las muchas posibilidades que hay disponibles para proporcionarles a nuestros estudiantes formas interesantes de practicar el contenido que están aprendiendo. Es útil contar con herramientas adicionales en nuestro kit de enseñanza, especialmente mientras seguimos atravesando los desafíos del aprendizaje híbrido y virtual, y buscando nuevas ideas para mantener a los estudiantes conectados e interesados en el aprendizaje este año escolar.

It read “Please be nice to the employees, they are a lot harder to find than customers”. Apart from its obvious humor, there is a lot of truth in it as well. It’s getting increasingly difficult to find people to hire. It’s even more challenging to find people that fit perfectly into the job. Here are the main figures of a report created by Indeed on employer outlook: - 61% of businesses expect to hire more in 2018 than they did last year - 42% worry they won’t be able to find the talent they need - 33% of companies are concerned hiring middle management - 25% report challenges with senior management and - 20% pointed to executive level positions as their most difficult hires. This being the case, companies have to figure out ways to stay competitive as employers. A good talent management has the capacity to provide the kind of competitive advantage required to attract and retain the right people. ## Human capital is the most important asset of a company It all starts with the acknowledgement that human capital is the most important in an organization. Employees bring their knowledge, expertise and their personal goals to the table. All these have a bearing in whether the business will be successful or not. Offering good pay, benefits, flexible hours, a pleasant work environment are all important regardless of the generation the workers are part of. Baby boomers stay loyal as long as they feel their position in the company is secure and they can provide for their families, while Millennials seek autonomy and challenge. Feeling secure is not as important to them, they prefer the opportunity to constantly move towards more complex and demanding jobs. They want to work for companies where they know they can move up to more complicated positions. If they feel stuck, they leave and HR departments face more and more often the difficult task of replacing top performers who decide to seek opportunities elsewhere. Talent management ensures that the needs and aspirations of these top performers are met within the organisation. ## Talent management starts with the hiring interview The starting point of a good talent management program is recruitment. Hiring competent and motivated employees who are right for the company and resonate with its culture is the key to success. It’s not employing a person to do a job but finding the individual who is most likely to perform and stick it out when things become difficult. An effective way to make sure that new-hires will be what the organisation needs them to be is to create job descriptions based on the already existing top performers. Drawing-up the portrait of the ideal candidate for a certain position based on experience ensures that the new employee has the best chances to succeed. This doesn’t mean that HR professionals should built a restrictive mold but rather have some guidelines when beginning to seek for the right person to fill a position. Another very important aspect is not having the organization’s core values in mind. Skills and competencies matter but not as much as personal beliefs and goals – these are the ones that generate engagement. ## Existing employees need attention and nurture Existing employees are just as important (if not more so) than newly hired ones. It’s a common mistake of organisations to take their existing staff for granted. Failing to know what their expectations and career goals are will lead to poor performance and big turnover rates. Managers should take the time to have one on one meetings with their team members in order to find what they feel their own development. Starting from there, they can figure out a career path. Having a clear image of both existing competencies and future goals allows companies to sustain a highly skilled internal talent pool. It’s a lot easier to fill a position internally than recruiting from outside the organisation. A person who is already familiar with the company culture and has put in some time and effort towards it is more likely to feel engaged and succeed. Constantly offering opportunities to existing employees is a good practice for retaining top-performing Millennial employees. ## Learning should be constantly available and adaptable Career mobility means more than moving up. People want to diversify their skills and often look for opportunities to move to jobs that are not necessarily a continuation of the ones they started in. It’s also good for the organisation to have people shift from one department to another as they come with a fresh approach and a different set of skills. However, in order for people to master the skills they need for various positions, it is important to be provided with continuous learning opportunities. Having a large and varied e-learning library, accessible to everyone on a number of devices is paramount to achieving efficient mobility within the company. People need to feel encouraged to learn and grow. Employees who show the greatest potential can even be offered more complex, formal educational opportunities such as MA or MBA programs. These may be more costly but the results in competency growth and employee engagement will surely be worth it. ## Closing thoughts It’s challenging to find talented people and even more so to keep. Developing a comprehensive talent management program and adapting it to the ever changing needs and demands of the workforce is the only way to go in today’s business world.

The world of L&D is the first to be shaken by this reality — particularly when it comes to training employees. As a result, it’s hard for companies that offer face-to-face training for other businesses to continue their activities safely. This poses a significant threat for them: will they be able to meet their clients’ needs? How will the business survive in these circumstances? What to offer in place of physical training? It’s time for an overhaul and strategy re-set that will likely give them a competitive advantage even after the pandemic is over. Shifting to online training is a company’s path to delivering quality services while reinventing themselves through adding digital content to their portfolio. Finding a good learning platform should be their number one priority if they want to reach their goals. ### In this guide, you will find out more : - Adapting to changes - Finding a solution - LMS benefits for training companies Get this guide and find out more what an LMS can do for your training company! ### Get the FREE resource! ### [All white papers](/resources?type=white-paper) true https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/white-papers/CYPHER-Using-an-LMS-to-reinvent-your-training-company.pdf [Download PDF](https://www.cypherlearning.com/hubfs/docs/business/white-papers/CYPHER-Using-an-LMS-to-reinvent-your-training-company.pdf) [Next white paper](/resources/white-papers/academia/beginners-guide-to-online-teaching-automation) --- ## How to deliver multilingual training with the right LMS | expert tips **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/how-to-deliver-global-training-with-the-right-lms **Last Modified:** 2025-10-22 false [Business blog](/blog/business) [Business LMS](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/business-lms) # Global training solutions: why the right LMS matters September 8, 2025 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 4 minutes read Delivering a localized training experience is crucial for organizations operating across global markets. The right Learning Management System (LMS) enables seamless training delivery in multiple languages while addressing cultural differences, ensuring engagement and compliance worldwide. This article explores best practices for multinational training, compares leading LMS platforms—including CYPHER Learning, Litmos, Docebo, and Absorb LMS—and explains why localized support is essential for modern enterprises. ## What makes an LMS effective for multinational training? An effective multilingual LMS must support diverse user groups by combining language versatility with cultural sensitivity. Core features to look for include: - [Automated](https://www.cypherlearning.com/tour/languages) multi-lingual content creation: Can create content in multiple languages to  localize training materials efficiently. - **Cultural adaptation:**Adjusting content to reflect regional customs, communication styles, and learning preferences. - **Localized UI:**Multilingual user interface based on the preferences of the user. - **Personalized learning paths:**Customizing courses based on individual language preferences, skill levels, and user roles. - **Compliance tracking:**Monitoring training adherence in line with local regulatory requirements. - **Mobile accessibility:** Enabling learners to access courses seamlessly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops, catering to different regions and work environments. These capabilities help organizations deliver relevant, engaging, and compliant global training programs at scale. ## CYPHER Learning: leading the way in global LMS solutions CYPHER Learning stands out as a pioneering LMS designed to close global workforce gaps with advanced multilingual support and cultural intelligence. Its notable features include: - **Modular design:** Allows tailored customization to meet specific linguistic and cultural training needs. - AI-powered [adaptive learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/criteria-for-lms-platforms-built-for-global-teams): Offers personalized content based on regional learning habits and preferences. - **Automated compliance tracking:**Ensures regulatory standards are consistently met worldwide. - **Mobile-first interfaces and advanced analytics:** Facilitate easy access for learners and detailed monitoring of progress and engagement. - **Cultural localization:**Adjusts tone, examples, idioms, and visual elements to ensure regional relevance and learner resonance in AI-generated content. Additionally, CYPHER Learning seamlessly integrates with enterprise systems such as HRIS and CRM, streamlining global training administration [(CYPHER Learning, 2025c)](/tour/integrations). ## Overview of top global LMS platforms and their strengths Here is a comparison highlighting the global capabilities and unique benefits of leading LMS platforms. ### Litmos Litmos supports over 30 languages with a focus on ease of use and AI-driven course management tools. Key features include: - AI assistants to facilitate course creation and administration. - Machine learning-enabled video assessments for interactive evaluation. - Gamification elements and personalized learning paths. - Robust reporting and analytics capabilities. However, Litmos may require additional third-party tools for extensive customization, and customer support can be inconsistent [(Docebo, 2025)](https://www.docebo.com/learning-network/blog/multi-language-lms/). ### Docebo Docebo caters to large enterprises needing scalable, highly customizable LMS solutions. Primary features are: - Automated content management with advanced localization. - AI-driven personalization to tailor learning experiences. - User segmentation and multi-audience portals for diverse groups.

Key reasons include: - **Removing language barriers:**Facilitates understanding for non-native speakers. - **Addressing cultural nuances:** Recognizes that cultural context shapes learning behaviors. - **Promoting inclusion:**Builds a global community by respecting diversity. - **Enhancing learner retention:**Localized content improves motivation and knowledge absorption. Modern LMS platforms leverage automatic translations combined with locale-specific theming to increase relevance and learner satisfaction [(Docebo, 2025)](https://www.docebo.com/learning-network/blog/multi-language-lms/). ## Comparing global LMS platforms: user insights Platform Pros Cons CYPHER Learning - Cultural adaptation of training elements - Mobile-first design - Advanced analytics - Supports 50+ languages - Advanced features may require additional investment - Potential increased complexity in administration Litmos - User-friendly interface - Supports 30+ languages - AI-enhanced tools and reporting - Customization can be costly - Customer support sometimes inconsistent Docebo - Scalable for enterprise use - AI-driven personalization - Multi-audience management - Complexity may overwhelm simple deployments Absorb LMS - Compliance-focused - Minimal setup and automation - Simple and clean interface - Limited customization - Less support for personalized branding ## How AI automates localization in LMS Artificial Intelligence enhances multilingual training by automating many localization tasks: - Utilizing **natural language processing (NLP)**for immediate, accurate translation of content. - Facilitating rapid course creation across multiple languages without duplicative effort. - Automatically updating translations when core materials are modified, maintaining consistency. - Reducing human translation errors, lowering costs, and accelerating deployment globally. These AI capabilities create scalable, cost-effective multilingual training ecosystems [(CYPHER Learning, 2025b)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/lms) ## Beyond language: tackling cultural differences in global training Effective global training requires adapting to cultural contexts beyond translation. This includes: - Modifying case studies and scenarios to reflect local realities and practices. - Adjusting humor, idioms, and expressions to suit regional sensibilities. - Choosing culturally appropriate colors, images, and design elements. - Aligning assessment methods with local expectations and standards. The CYPHER Learning platform's course creation AI Agent specializes in these adaptations and enables learner engagement tracking by region for optimized training outcomes [(CYPHER Learning, 2025)](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators). ## Essential features for global training LMS 1. **Automated language localization:** AI-powered translation combined with contextual content adaptation to ensure accuracy and relevance. 2. **Personalized learning paths:**Machine learning-driven course suggestions tailored to language, skill level, and user role. 3.

Integrating presentations in teaching is an accessible way to bring technology to the classroom and make the best digital tools available. A slideshow lesson conveys information effectively and supports learning since most of it is done visually. Teachers and students can use presentations to support learning and develop creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. However, the final goal is to make information clear and easy to remember, as visuals complement words. For this reason, presentations should remain simple, focused on images and keywords. To achieve this, you need more advanced tools. ## Digital tools for engaging classroom presentations Here are eight digital tools to look for when creating the best presentations for your classroom: 1. ### Google Slides Google Slides is a free app that allows teachers and students to create and edit presentations using many features such as the multimedia embedding option and the variety of themes available. Users can also import their favorite themes from an outside source. Creating new presentation templates can be time-consuming, so teachers can import other presentations they already have. Google Slides allows you to open, edit, and save Microsoft PowerPoint files. You can also present and share presentations on any device, browser, and even Chromecast Hangouts and Airplay. *Tip*: Google Slides promotes collaboration and helps you assign teamwork. Students can work with Google Slides at the same time, and changes are saved automatically. Teachers, group coordinators and team members can leave comments and chat.

Sway offers easy editing, like drop-in photos, videos, and other multimedia files. You can choose from three available layouts, seven core styles with different content laying, decorators, image captions, color, and textures. Users benefit from additional design options in the Customize style panel and can explore different styles on the spot with the Remix button. *Tip*: Sway presentations can be co-edited for instant collaboration and visualized on any device or screen size via an automatic optimization feature. It’s perfect for teachers who want to organize their lessons and synthesize information for students. 3. ### Nearpod Nearpod gives users the possibility to create interactive slide-based lessons boosted by the extra tools available. Teachers can add a quiz, a poll, and open-ended questions to any slide-based lesson. You can also customize any lesson from the Nearpod Lesson Library, including hundreds of already made slide-based lessons. A Nearpod lesson is easy to create using the drag and drop option, allowing users to import Google Slides, PDF files, or PowerPoint presentations. *Tip*: Nearpod is helpful when you want to provide extra support for students, guide teaching, check for student understanding and improve student outcomes. Also, Nearpod helps students make real-world connections in integrated VR, PhET simulations, and Immersive Reader. 4. ### Pear Deck Pear Deck is an add-on tool for Google Slides that makes any presentation interactive. Teachers can present their content, include tasks for students to solve online, and check for understanding through questions and quizzes. Pear Deck offers a library of templates from which teachers can choose to support the learning objectives. *Tip*: Pear Deck is perfect for online classes because you can invite students to actively participate in the lesson, monitor their work and offer instant feedback. 5. ### Haiku Deck Haiku Deck is suitable for any web browser, iPad, iPhone, and Chromebook and makes presentations straightforward. Due to their professional design with stylish fonts, layouts, and image filters, each presentation will be beautiful on any screen. Teachers can also ensure a learning continuum using clear and consistent formatting options. *Tip*: You can create meaningful presentations by emphasizing images over words which simplifies the message of any lesson and makes it easier to remember. Teachers and students alike can select from many templates and access over 40 million Creative Commons-licensed images with automatic attributions upon import, promoting digital citizenship. 6. ### Sutori Sutori allows teachers to offer lessons that focus on collaborative learning as well as promote research, inquiry, critical thinking, and collaboration in any school subject. Using Sutori in the classroom will enhance student literacy, creativity, and communication skills, providing the perfect ground for self-reflection. With access to many templates and lessons, every presentation will provide structure to learning with the benefits of its versatility and simplicity. *Tip*: Teachers can also add social media in their slideshows or scroll down presentations making the best visual quality and connecting to the digitally native world. 7. ### Prezi Prezi helps you create meaningful learning experiences through memorable presentations while providing information, explaining an assignment, or boosting test preparation in face-to-face or online classrooms. Also, students can use Prezi slideshows in the flipped classroom to access the resources needed to get ready for class. Teachers can foster interactions and leverage emotional connections with their lessons using visuals and stories. *Tip*: Prezi is perfect for online teaching, allowing teachers to present information in a slideshow while simultaneously interacting with students.

Teachers can choose from hundreds of beautiful layouts, a wide range of presentation templates in various styles and themes, add animations, videos, and audio for the best slide-based lessons, which they can easily share with students. *Tip*: Save the slides and use them as handouts. ## All in all Presentations are easy to integrate into face-to-face, hybrid and online lessons.

Not only does that induce tons of stress around exam time, but it also could cause students to put off learning until the last minute. Cramming isn’t the same as learning. With competency mapping and automatic quiz creation, cramming prevention is easier than ever. Continually create and adapt courses so they remain relevant without draining your time and resources Quickly measure and track your students’ educational progress, strengths, and weaknesses using more than just grades Seamlessly integrate courses from development to delivery Juggle dozens of course resources and materials across numerous platforms Create original, engaging, and individualized courses students will actually want to do ## Preparing tomorrow’s leaders with innovation and engagement The role of online learning in higher ed is undeniable. More and more colleges and universities offer online courses and degree programs – or incorporate hybrid learning with in-person instruction augmented by online coursework. And then there’s an entire marketplace of online-only institutions attracting undergraduate and graduate students seeking a fully remote program digitally optimized from the ground up. The list of available options for students is endless. This rise in popularity is placing increasing pressure on schools to provide a learning experience that rivals or exceeds that of in-classroom programs – which means the ability to create and deliver inspiring, innovative content and the chance for students to interact directly with their professors and classmates. As a result, colleges and universities are revisiting their online learning offerings and the underlying technology. They want a modern learning platform that delivers a superior learning experience and meets student’s needs and expectations. An LMS for higher education designed for personalized, competency-based learning experiences at scale that leverages innovations like AI and gamification and empowers professors to design engaging coursework that makes students *want* to learn. Most importantly, they want a platform that lets them effectively prepare students to compete and excel in a post-graduate world. That platform is CYPHER Learning. A recent survey of university chief online officers (COOs) revealed almost 99% expect an increase in online learning over the next three years.

That’s because faculty and students are plagued with antiquated learning platforms that assume every student learns the same way. They don’t give educators the tools and flexibility to create and deliver courses and content that map to what each individual student needs or engage them in ways that motivate and inspire. CYPHER is revolutionizing the way higher education institutions build and administer higher education curriculums and courses. Thousands of colleges and universities worldwide use the CYPHER platform to empower their staff to deliver effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content and advanced analytics – all geared toward helping students achieve mastery-level proficiency of their degree programs and ready themselves for the future. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER Only allows for content delivery.

But today’s enterprises can’t afford to train like it’s 1999. With a hybrid workforce, evolving job roles, and AI-driven tools reshaping industries, digital learning and development (L&D) is the next chapter in employee growth and development. But today's training isn’t just putting courses online. Instead, trainers are tasked with producing something better—engaging, adaptive, and data-driven learning experiences that really stick. Employees expect interactive, on-demand training that fits into their workflow, while businesses need to ensure these programs drive performance gains and ROI. Here’s the challenge: How do you make digital training effective, engaging, and aligned with your enterprise goals? In this guide, we’ll explore the key strategies enterprises are using to make L&D not just a necessity, but a competitive advantage. ## What is digital learning? Digital learning refers to the use of digital tools, technologies, and methods to facilitate learning and skills development. It encompasses a wide range of approaches, including online learning, [skills development](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/skills-development), mobile learning, gamification, and simulation-based learning. These methods are designed to provide learners with a flexible, accessible, and engaging learning experience that can be tailored to their individual needs and preferences. ### Benefits of digital skills development Learners can now access content and resources from anywhere, at any time, using a variety of devices and platforms. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for employees who need to balance training with their daily job responsibilities. "The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways," says [David Greene](https://x.com/RobertGreene), NYT bestselling author.  That's exactly why the "big picture" of digital learning is so crucial. It provides plenty of benefits, such as increased flexibility, accessibility, and employee engagement. It also empowers learners to pick up in-demand skills that are paramount to where we're headed next (AI, anyone?).  However, learning online still presents challenges, including the need for reliable access to digital technologies and mobile accessibility, as well as the potential for distractions and decreased motivation. 💡Top takeaway: Overall, digital learning is a powerful tool for skills development and knowledge acquisition. By leveraging digital technologies and methods, learners can access high-quality content and resources tailored to their individual needs, enhancing their ability to acquire new skills and stay competitive in the modern workplace. ## Scaling talent development with CYPHER Learning For enterprises managing large-scale digital training, the right learning platform or LMS solves key concerns, delivers beneficial experiences to learners, and improves long-term knowledge gains.

According to studies from [Prompt Personnel](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/future-work-essential-digital-skills-ludes digital literacy, cybersecurity knowledge, product and project management, and even cloud computing.  The digital learning world is wide open—on the brink of closing skills gaps and making the learning process better for all.  Here are a few ways to make it work for your corporate learning goals. ### 1. Personalization and adaptive learning Personalization, powered by AI-driven adaptive learning, ensures that training programs are tailored to the specific needs of each employee, leading to higher engagement and more effective skill development. Effective digital learning methods are crucial in transitioning from traditional instruction to digital content creation, providing employees with the confidence and practical skills essential for advancing their careers. - **Use AI-driven learning paths:**AI tools can analyze employee skill gaps and automatically create custom training paths. This makes it easier to place employees in the right programs that match their daily job requirements. - **Implement pre-assessments:** Start every training program with a quick pre-assessment to evaluate where each employee stands. This allows for targeted learning without wasting time on irrelevant topics. - **Loop in your analytics:**Track individual progress using analytics. For example, insights from completion rates or quiz scores can indicate areas to improve and help refine future approaches. ### 2. Micro learning strategies for higher engagement Microlearning is one of the most effective ways to deliver training without overwhelming employees. By breaking down complex topics into manageable lessons, microlearning enhances learner engagement and improves motivation and focus. It's also a great way to combine practical lessons with broader career aspirations. - **Break down complex topics:**Rather than using lengthy e-learning courses, break down concepts into short, digestible lessons. These can be delivered as videos, quizzes, or bite-sized modules that employees can complete at their own pace. - **Use interactive tools:** Interactive and visual elements like quizzes, flashcards, and infographics enhance the learning experience, encouraging knowledge retention. - **Reduce cognitive overload:**Microlearning minimizes information fatigue, which is what happens when training materials pile up and retention feels overwhelming. Choose a platform that helps learners to absorb material more effectively. ### 3. Social and collaborative learning Learning doesn’t have to be a solitary endeavor. Social and collaborative learning methods foster peer-to-peer interaction and make training more dynamic. - **Encourage peer discussions:**Implement discussion forums or chat groups where employees can share experiences and learn from one another. - **Gamify the experience:**Add gamification elements like leaderboards, team challenges, or rewards to encourage friendly competition and group learning. - **Build knowledge-sharing communities:**Support internal communities tailored to different departments or skills to promote continuous collaboration. ### 4. Mobile-first learning experiences Today’s workforce demands flexibility. Mobile-first learning delivers just that by leveraging learning management systems (LMS) as key components in a thriving career development program. - **Optimize for mobile devices:** Ensure your learning management system (LMS) and training content are mobile-friendly so employees can access resources anytime, anywhere. - **Use push notifications:**Keep employees on track with training deadlines by sending friendly reminders via their smartphones. - **Support hybrid workforces:** Remote and hybrid teams need seamless learning experiences that work both on desktops and mobile devices. ### 5. Data-driven decision making in LMS implementation Digital skills development data is helpful for identifying and addressing skills gaps. This effort (which often happens behind-the-scenes) makes sure that the workforce is prepared for future changes, workplace demands, and innovation. - **Track KPIs:**Monitor learner engagement, completion rates, assessment scores, and more. These insights can inform decisions course effectiveness. - **Use AI insights:**Leverage artificial intelligence to identify trends or gaps in training programs, allowing for dynamic adjustments. - **Align training with corporate goals:**Measure the impact of training programs against organizational KPIs such as employee satisfaction, productivity, and retention. ### 7. Compliance and security in digital training Data privacy and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable when adopting digital learning solutions. At the same time, many organizations need to equip their teams with timely training industry regulations, certifications, and compliance standards.  That means you need an LMS that handles both sides of a (highly important) coin. - **Ensure secure systems:**Choose an LMS that offers role-based access controls, encryption, and secure data storage. - **Stay updated on key regulations:**Make sure your training content aligns with evolving regulatory requirements in your industry. - **Protect sensitive employee data:** Implement security protocols to protect sensitive employee information. Did you know? According to a CYPHER survey, [non-compliance can cost businesses](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/how-much-does-non-compliance-really-cost) up to $1.6 million per year. That’s a hefty penalty. Protect your teams against non-compliance by using a smarter, more adaptive LMS.  **[Compliance training](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/compliance) that transcends barriers?

In practice: For example, imagine a company rolling out an L&D program focused on data literacy to support a shift toward data-driven decision-making. By equipping employees with the right skills, the company could see faster insights, better strategic choices, and a real competitive edge in the market. ### Why align L&D with corporate objectives? First, alignment ensures that learning programs focus on the skills and knowledge most relevant to the business. This means that employees develop the competencies they need to perform their jobs effectively and contribute to the organization’s success. Next, good alignment makes learning programs measurable and evaluable. By setting clear business objectives, organizations can track the impact of learning programs and make necessary adjustments along the way. No need to keep a static program with no results—make it dynamic for bigger wins. Finally, goal alignment keeps learning initiatives sustainable and scalable. The right educational resources can help organizations deliver accessible, flexible, and cost-effective learning programs to meet the needs of a growing workforce. ### Collaborating with top business leaders To collaborate effectively with business leaders, L&D professionals need to speak their language and understand their priorities. This involves articulating the business case for learning and development and demonstrating how learning programs can drive business outcomes. L&D professionals can collaborate with business leaders in several ways, including: - **Conducting needs assessments:**Identify skills gaps and learning needs to ensure that training programs address the most critical areas. - **Developing aligned learning programs:**Create learning programs that are directly aligned with business objectives, ensuring relevance and impact. - **Offering coaching and mentoring:** Support learners in their development through coaching and mentoring, helping them apply new skills in their roles. By collaborating with business leaders, L&D professionals can ensure that learning programs are relevant, effective, and aligned with the organization’s overall strategy, ultimately driving business success. ## How to implement a winning digital learning strategy Putting these best practices into action starts with strategic planning and stakeholder alignment. Here’s a step-by-step guide to build a digital L&D strategy that delivers results. ### Evaluate current gaps Assess your existing training programs and identify areas that need improvement based on employee skill requirements and business goals.

This is where managerial training programs can be hugely beneficial. Besides helping leaders to manage employees effectively, they can also lead to a more productive and profitable team. But that’s just the beginning. Managerial training can also improve the people management skills that lead to a motivated, positive, and loyal workforce. As many as [84% of US workers](https://www.shrm.org/-shrm/press-room/press-releases/pages/survey-84-percent-of-us-workers-blame-bad-managers-for-creating-unnecessary-stress-.aspx) say that managers with poor people management training cause unnecessary work and stress. What’s more, [27% of people](https://www.goodfirms.co/resources/employee-engagement-statistics) have quit their job because they didn’t get along with their boss. *Image credit: [GoodFirms](https://www.goodfirms.co/resources/employee-engagement-statistics)* The bottom line is this: untrained managers drive employees away and disrupt business processes. A managerial training program can help you avoid these problems. ## What is a managerial training program? A management training program is a professional course that organizations offer employees who want to develop the skills they need to be an effective leader. Management training programs are designed to be industry-specific as well as organization-specific, tailored to reflect the business’ unique needs. For example, a call center management training course might aim to develop conflict resolution and time-management skills. They’d also require in-depth technical training to enable them to use the newest [small business call center services](https://www.dialpad.com/blog/small-business-call-center/). Most businesses opt to design and deliver their own training courses through a [corporate learning management system](/business) (LMS). This is the best option for businesses that want to provide enhanced value with hyper-relevant, organization-specific modules. ## Roles that benefit from management training programs Management training programs should be designed to accommodate the essential [employee skills requirements](/blog/business/the-top-4-employee-requirements-that-a-skills-development-program-has-to-address) of new, aspiring, and seasoned managers alike. - **New managers**: Whether you hire them internally or externally, all of your new managers can benefit from being enrolled in a management training program, such as a professional business organization course. Management training increases confidence in a new manager’s transition as they’ll be trained on the aspects of management that are most relevant to your business. - **Aspiring managers**: For employees who desire a management position but lack the experience, management training programs provide a way in. They offer complete inclusivity to anyone considering career advancement. And in a climate where [77% of employees](https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/upskilling/hopes-and-fears.html) want to upskill (but 74% feel as though it’s a personal responsibility), a management training program can give you a competitive advantage. - **Seasoned managers**: Even experienced managers need additional training to keep up with changing demands. Managerial training programs can refresh and refine large-scale empowerment, communication, and relationship-building skills. They can also teach managers how to utilize emerging technologies effectively. ## Benefits of management training From understanding the role of a leader to fostering a culture of teamwork, the benefits of management training are widespread. These are just some of the key advantages: ### Helps to develop a deeper understanding of management roles For many team leaders, the title of manager has certain connotations. In fact, many see managers as delegators. However, the merits of a successful leader are much broader. A manager should be able to strategically plan, organize, and coordinate the daily processes of their team. What’s more, a management role requires both existing and aspiring leaders to inspire and motivate their team. A management training program should help managers to identify the primary goals and responsibilities of management personnel. ### Cultivates company culture According to PWC’s [Global Culture Survey 2021](https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/upskilling/global-culture-survey-2021/global-culture-survey-2021-report.html), 67% of senior management acknowledge the necessity of company culture, deeming it more important than strategy or operations. Therefore, one of the modern manager’s foundational goals is to foster a culture of unity within their team. *Image credit: [PwC](https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/upskilling/global-culture-survey-2021/global-culture-survey-2021-report.html)* A unified workforce is one in which employees feel connected to their company’s culture. It involves aligning individual and team goals with the large-scale goals of the company, ensuring that every employee acknowledges the value of their daily tasks. Managerial training programs enable managers to drive innovative collaboration, build effective goal-setting, and improve communication skills. ### Facilitates department-level unity Managerial training doesn’t just provide cultural unity at a team level. It can also help to eliminate the detrimental repercussions of department-level silos. Organizational chaos, lack of cohesion, distrust, and lowered team morale are just some of the issues that occur when managers don’t communicate with other managers. Managerial training programs promote unified dynamics, educating managers on cross-functional collaboration so they can solve common challenges and work toward common goals. ### Improves management of remote and hybrid teams The modern workplace is embracing remote working, which means that the modern manager needs to do the same. However, there are a few unique [hybrid working challenges and solutions](https://www.dialpad.com/features/hybrid-workplace-solutions/) to consider. There’s the technological side to take into account, such as knowing how to set up a virtual meeting or how to use the newest collaboration tool. Then there’s the team management side, which involves tackling productivity loss, diminished unity, and lack of team culture. It’s simply not the same as managing an in-office team, which is why aspiring and seasoned managers can benefit from virtual team management training. ### Increases employee engagement It should go without saying that engaged employees are better employees. But do you know just how much of an impact employee engagement has on your business? Research shows that businesses with high employee engagement have [lower volumes of absenteeism](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/238085/state-american-workplace-report-2017.aspx) and turnover, and higher volumes of productivity, profitability, and sales. Management training programs aim to equip managers with the ability to foster engaged teams through effective communication, smart goal-setting, consistent recognition, and other strategies. ### Encourages growth through personalized feedback Management training programs are delivered by skilled instructors who can provide objective, personalized feedback. This feedback gives managers objective insight into their strengths and weaknesses. It also presents managers with a practical demonstration of how to deliver constructive criticism to employees. ## Management training program topics When it comes to developing hard skills, there are various industry-specific training certifications available online. For example, you can [Google Databricks learning paths](https://databricks.com/learn) to learn how to master data analytics. On the flip side, the skills required of managers tend to be less niche. For that reason, managerial training programs cover a range of general management and soft skills. This makes them ideal for managers in any industry, plus these skills are often transferable. If you’re creating a training program for your managers, here are a few key topics to incorporate. ### Coaching and mentoring Managers often make the best mentors. They have the relevant industry experience to guide work-focused skill development while influencing personal development goals such as confidence-building and stress management. Surprisingly, though, only 37% of employees have a mentor. This is despite 76% of people considering mentors to be important for their skill development and job happiness. You may want to look into [mentoring software](https://www.pushfar.com/mentoring-software/) to help you develop your team and their technical skills. Your learning platform should also enable you to create quality mentorship opportunities. *Image credit: olivet.edu* ## Decision-making What exactly constitutes a “good” decision? Management training programs tackle the theory behind the practice of being a good decision-maker. They aim to improve the foundational skills needed to make decisions efficiently and effectively, including research, analysis, collaborative thinking, confidence, assertiveness, and open-mindedness. ### Conflict resolution Conflicts in the workplace are inevitable. Whether it’s an argument between two coworkers, a disagreement between a customer and a supervisor, or a large-scale management dispute, conflicts have the potential to cause serious disruption. Conflict resolution training enables leaders to avoid toxic work environments through leveraging active listening, mediation, problem-solving, and empathy skills. ### Ethics and compliance Corporate [compliance training](/blog/business/how-to-ensure-compliance-in-the-workplace) should be an essential requirement for managers in industries that abide by compliance laws and regulations. This includes health and safety, data protection, diversity, and harassment training. However, teaching managers how to act ethically in alignment with proper codes of conduct doesn’t just help them avoid legal repercussions. It also provides their employees with an example of how to assert themselves respectfully at work. ### Technology skill-boosting Whether it's utilizing [contract management software](https://www.pandadoc.com/blog/best-contract-management-software/) for small business or the best collaboration tools for hybrid teams, managers need to keep up with new technology. They should be able to identify and utilize the best tools for their business and know how to onboard staff. ### Soft-skill development Soft skills are an essential aspect of effective management. In fact, of all the skills that employees wish their managers would improve, being able to communicate effectively is the most desired at 41%, according to research from the [Society for Human Resource Management](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/employee-relations/pages/manager-miscommunication.aspx) (SHRM). *Image credit: [benefitnews.com](https://www.benefitnews.com)* Management training programs provide the perfect opportunity for soft skill development. They can simulate situations that test managers in several areas, guiding them towards improvement. Soft skills that managers can develop include: - Communication skills - Time-management - Problem-solving - Relationship building - Critical-thinking - Emotional intelligence - Empowerment ### Project Management [Project Managers](https://kanbanize.com/agile/project-management/tools) should have an intricate understanding of the path, timeline, and budget of a project. They can make informed plans that account for unforeseen problems and delegate tasks according to the individual strengths of their team. What’s more, they should also be able to leverage digital collaboration tools like project management software and [whiteboard collaboration apps](https://www.dialpad.com/blog/whiteboard-app/) to guide projects to completion. Overall, online training programs can be extremely beneficial. However, one of the mistakes businesses make when using online training is that they fail to measure the real-life impact of their program. Make sure to analyze the success of your program through social learning, on-the-job observation, performance goals, and employee feedback. More importantly, don’t forget to utilize the in-built analytics supplied by your [corporate LMS](/business). ## Continuous learning Learning and development shouldn’t stop when you become a manager. In fact, the increased responsibility makes it even more critical. Managers in every corner of your organization need to work consistently to build their critical leadership skills. Not only do managers deserve to meet their development goals, but the employees they lead deserve a manager who motivates them to do their best. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the more competent your managers are, the more competent your employees. And, of course, the more productive your business is as a whole.

With a great landing page you can increase the number of your subscribers, generate targeted leads and even increase the sale of your awesome online course. Next time you create one, make sure to include the following: 1. ### Awesome headline The headline is the first element on the page that a user sees. It must be **eye-catchy and straightforward**. It has to make it clear for any visitor that they’re in the right place and make them want to find more information. 2. ### WIIFM copy You have seconds to capture the attention of an online user. If they don’t get an answer to the **“What’s in It For Me”** question fast, they’ll move on. Create copy that succinctly captures the main benefits for the user if they take action. 3. ### Call to Action This is probably the main element of the landing page. It usually comes in the form of a button. Make it bigger, make it bolder. Besides the awesome headline,**the CTA must really stand out** on the page. Use color, fonts, copy and layout to your advantage. 4. ### Carefully selected imagery A nice graphic can express a user’s pain point and show how your online course can solve it. If you opt for pictures with people, **make sure your target audience will identify with them.** A video is also a good idea, especially when combined with social proof. 5. ### Social proof example(s) Including **testimonials, expert reviews** and other forms of social proof on your landing page will increase your chances of converting. When people know others have already tried your solution and are happy it, they’ll be more likely to follow your CTA. 6. ### Well designed form A form is a great way to capture information. A name and email address can be enough. Even if the user doesn’t buy your online course immediately, **you can always nurture that relationship and convert them later**. 7. ### No clutter A landing page has one objective: to convert. To maximize the chances of conversion you have to **minimize distraction**. Use only the elements you absolutely need there. No header, no navigation bar. Also, the fewer the links, the better.

Chances are that no matter the subject, they are told to collaborate quite frequently. In fact, even in popular kids or teen TV shows, the group project is used as a catalyst for interaction between characters. Plenty of examples can be found from Boy Meets World and Dawson’s Creek to Gilmore Girls. The popular kid has to work with the new kid. Best friends do not get to work together on an assignment. It is a TV trope that writers love to use, along with the [Cram School](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CramSchool) and [School of No Studying](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchoolOfNoStudying). Let’s call it the *Dreaded Collaboration Project* (you heard it from me first!). The Dreaded Collaboration Project has all the elements of a good cliche: the student that does all the work, the slacker, the one that talks a lot (but does not do anything), the anxious one, and of course, that one student that only shows up at the end, mostly unprepared. Hilarious antics ensue. But for every cliche, there is a small grain of truth. No matter how much I dislike these cliches, I find myself reminiscing my experience with some projects in school. And the truth is, that for some students collaboration does not come that easily. Some are naturally more extroverted or introverted. It takes time to get to know people and trust them. Not having a clear idea of what you are supposed to do and having poor grades as a result of teamwork can snowball into a lifelong frustration with learning in groups. Read more: [5 Reasons e-learning is perfect for introverted students](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/5-reasons-e-learning-is-perfect-for-introverted-students/) In other words, things get more complicated should dreaded collaboration project actually become a thing in their lives. ## A manifesto for effective classroom collaboration Having many collaboration issues is not the standard for all classrooms. When done right, learning as a team works. That is why the flipped classroom, blended learning, PBL, and many more teaching styles require a high degree of social learning. For example, in a [survey](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/rease in the test scores following group-based learning activities. [Another study](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257252931_Collaboration_factors_teamwork_satisfaction_and_student_attitudes_toward_online_collaborative_learning) involving 197 graduate students across three consecutive academic years, found that 73% of participants felt that a collaborative environment produced greater learning results. Teaching adequate collaboration skills is important for many reasons. However, the most important one is that in academia as in a professional setting, we all have to have the adequate skills to get.things.done. The students of today are the professionals of tomorrow and what they learn in schools in terms of working with their peers and learning from others is crucial to their development later in life. As the [Partnership for 21st Century Skills](https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/7203/e8afc7e48d802b3233ed961bd40bdec39040.pdf) has adequately recognized, collaboration is one of the most important skills necessary for school and workforce success. Moreover, as future employees (and even freelance workers) their ability to work in teams will [prime them for success](https://www.forbes.com/sites/adigaskell/2017/06/22/new-study-finds-that-collaboration-drives-workplace-performance/#21caa0033d02) and higher satisfaction with their jobs. Given that we all have so many collaboration tools at our disposal, this should be really easy, right? Except that in reality there are still all sorts of challenges for students and teachers. For example, how do you set clear, defined goals for a team project? How do you assign deadlines for each group? How do you organize them so students actually learn more from their project? ## 6 Ways to create meaningful teamwork experiences through an LMS Do you know what is usually missing from the Dreaded Collaboration Project? Usually many things, but one main thing is the lack of collaborative technology that is not shown in any TV show. Using tools such as chats, groups, a shared calendar and collaborative assignments are just a few of the methods in which teachers can effectively use technology to encourage efficient learning. All of these tools — and more — can be found incorporated in your LMS; no need to look any further than that. Read on to find out how to create a collaborative learning space using an LMS. 1. ### Use team assignments Team assignments are a great feature to have in an LMS. This helps teachers not only keep track of team projects, but also organize students into teams, which get their own private groups. Groups are used for discussions, idea-sharing, and more. Plus, it has the added benefit of knowing how much each student has contributed to the final submission. 2. ### Set clear goals Whether you might be teaching 4th graders or High School seniors, a team needs clear goals to accomplish a learning task. You can use the welcome page of a course to set learning goals, or better yet, add instructions in the description part of a collaborative assignment. Students can refer back to their goals should they get stuck at some point during their task. 3. ### Use shared calendars for deadlines and reminders Sticking to a deadline is part of the success of a project since it teaches responsibility and how to manage their time as a team. Students can check deadlines in their shared calendar and you can send them notifications and reminders through announcements. 4. ### Effective communication Building trust in a team isn’t easy, especially since there is not a lot of time to accomplish that. Fortunately, through technology it is easier to trust someone since they are only a message away. Plus, your students do not need to rely on social media or text messaging since a good LMS has tools such as chat and discussions to make things go smoothly. 5. ### Shared resources An important part of a learning team is sharing valuable resources such as files, video or web links. In addition, files won’t get lost in Facebook chats or Whatsapp messages since everything gets stored in the LMS library and can be retrieved in an instant. 6. ### Grade team assignments Their effort as a team can be assessed more fairly using an LMS. First, even the most introverted students can shine by sharing their ideas through discussions in a group. Students can also be graded individually. ## Conclusion After spending some time thinking it (OK, too much time, I must admit), the Dreaded Collaboration Project was there to make TV characters interact in some way, and in most cases, they became friends or learned something valuable at the end. So maybe in real life, your students can really learn how to thrive through meaningful teamwork. Having a [trusted LMS](/academia) is a stepping stone to achieving just that!

Training is shifting from support to a business driver. Where do you stand? ## Traditional learning design models no longer serve anyone Learning and training are undergoing a shift — subtle yet transformative. If you haven’t noticed it yet, you soon will.Traditional learning models no longer meet the needs of today’s businesses or the employees who rely on training to stay competitive. These static, one-size-fits-all approaches worked in a slower-paced world. But with markets, skills, and talent evolving rapidly, the way we design learning programs needs a complete overhaul.In a time when businesses must fight harder for growth, metrics like course completions and hours spent learning fall short. Today, training teams have the chance to move beyond support functions and become strategic drivers of real business impact. ### Three huge cultural shifts have changed the way training teams operate The forgetting curve 70% of what employees learn is forgotten within 24 hours and 90% is lost within the first week if not applied to the job. Cost center U.S. companies invest $200 billion annually in training, yet only 10% of that training drives tangible results according to HBR. Growing skills gaps The skills required for a single job is increasing by 10% year over year, and over 30% of the skills needed three years ago will be irrelevant. ## Learning in Progress =The new competitive advantage Learning and business growth go hand in hand. But sometimes the learning isn’t fast enough. Businesses don’t hit the numbers they need in order to keep up with the market; individuals don’t have the skills they need in order to catch up with the business. And when that happens, all those static learning courses don't mean much. It's why learning is never done – it's always Learning in Progress. **Traditional learning design models represent static learning** Learning in Progress Static Learning An evolved model enabling automation, course creation, and skill mapping without manual effort to stay ahead of business objectives. Outdated programs addressing immediate needs with one-off training, focused on time spent and completion rates. Aligned with strategic objectives and business priorities Training budgets viewed as expenses, not investments Delivers targeted training based on evolving market skill demands Limited to onboarding and compliance Create valuable training as the business needs evolve leveraging AI and automation tools Course creation involves repetitive, manual work over months ## Static learning only gets you so far Here’s why winning organizations are adapting to a Learning in Progress model: Cost center 50% of metrics used for learning success can be classified as vanity metrics. LinkedIn Inefficient 77% of L&D Leaders are taking an insufficient approach to reskilling their workforce.

In five days, you have to educate yourself on the product, create courses to inform employees, and ensure employees understand the ins and outs of it before launch. Talk stress!Are you struggling to… Create and adapt product training fast enough to keep up with demand Translate product trainings in multiple languages while maintaining meaning and localization Create engaging and individualized product training people actually want to use Get meaningful, data-driven insights to measure the effectiveness of product training methods Measure and track your extended enterprise’s product training progress, strengths, and weaknesses ## Inspiring customer confidence through product mastery At every point in the customer lifecycle – from purchase to customer support – buyers expect nothing less than an efficient, productive customer experience. They expect to get information exactly when they need it and quick solutions for any problems that may pop up. . To meet these expectations, customer-facing employees such as sales teams, customer success managers, and customer support representatives need to be masters of the products they represent. They need to deliver information and answers promptly and accurately, and they need to know exactly where to go if the inquiry requires research and escalation. Anything less than that leaves a negative impression and can impact customer acquisition and retention. Not to mention, it leaves employees feeling unprepared and less confident in their own capabilities. This makes a robust product training program essential to creating a superior brand experience. Whether you’re looking to create product advocates or product experts, you need a modern learning platform that personalizes the learning experience and establishes competency. This ensures you’re building and maintaining a team that represents your product and brand the way you and your customers expect. 74% of CX leaders say improving content and knowledge delivery to employees and customers is important. Gartner ## Award-winning platform for training CYPHER has received multiple awards for our innovative learning technology, including Forbes Advisor’s “**Best Overall Employee Training Software**” and “**Best LMS**."

Employees quickly scan through the material without the necessary level of comprehension, leaving them unprepared when they’re “in the moment” with a customer. Traditional learning management systems don’t fare much better. They limit how the material is presented and fail to capture the learner’s attention – with the same less-than-desirable results. CYPHER is revolutionizing the way companies conduct product training and enable employees. Product training on the CYPHER platform empowers trainers to build effective and inspiring competency-based courses with personalized learning paths, engaging content and advanced analytics – all geared toward helping employees achieve mastery-level proficiency of your products and services. ### Traditional way ### What you get with CYPHER One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t adapt to the learner’s progress or training needs Personalized learning profiles, competency mapping to content, assessments, and reporting in minutes – helping to ensure learners understand and can prove mastery-level product knowledge You must manually bridge the gap between content development and delivery by using multiple, expensive tools Unified content development and delivery allow you to get product training up and running faster with less people and money Rigid, static content formats that leave learners bored and unengaged Incorporation of new media and technologies like gamification to drive engagement and retention of product information at even the deepest level of detail Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data Insightful analytics, empowering you to track learner progress, identify gaps in product knowledge and flag opportunities for improvement Time-consuming and manual course creation Automation and AI-powered tools cut product course creation to minutes - allowing you to update and disseminate information just in time Manual and outdated assessments Adaptive assessments tagged to specific product and service topics to understand what the learner knows or doesn’t know Minimal collaboration Human-centered connections and communities to facilitate peer discussions and group exercises that help unify teams, while drive understanding and mastery of given product topics ## Product training for mastery-level product knowledge See how the CYPHER platform can help your product training program: ### Create product training content fast #### POWERFUL COURSES With CYPHER, product-oriented course creation is quick and simple.

They offer courses to the public and to those who want to grow their career in medical coding. The license is recognized in the Philippines, the U.S., the U.A.E. and several other countries! Their team has tremendous experience in the Healthcare Information Management field, and it provides some of the best courses that will prepare candidates to pass their coding certification exam.

New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Limited in to offering only instructor-based courses on a fixed schedule - Disruption in the medical coding industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic - Maintaining student engagement and interaction during the transition to online learning "Before we started with the CYPHER platform, we were limited in the sense that we only offered our courses instructor-based and on a fixed schedule" said Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder, Chief Medical & Training Officer. "During the pandemic, the entire medical coding industry had to close down. There are two other companies that were doing medical coding training in the Philippines, one of them had to permanently shut down, and the other had to put its training on pause. Luckily for us, that did not happen to HIM Training Institute." "Even before 2020 we were already onboarded on CYPHER. It turned out that we were the only company who continued to do medical coding training throughout the hard lockdowns of 2020." Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder, Chief Medical & Training Officer ## The solution "One of our partners at HIM Training Institute had been using the CYPHER platform. He saw the features and the advantages of using it and he advised that we start using CYPHER for the purposes of our own business. I’ve been in the training industry for like 17 years and I’ve seen a good amount of learning platforms out there. When we decided to sign up for CYPHER, I was all smiles because it was so easy to use, it was so clean. The kind of data that I needed, when I needed it, was there.  It’s one thing to say that you have a product for training, an LMS, it’s another thing to say that you have an LMS product that actually works for you and works well. Because it takes a lot of burden off you in trying to figure out the nuts and bolts of it and you could just concentrate on creating very engaging material" said Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder, Chief Medical & Training Officer. ### Adoption process It only took us 24 hours to switch our programs from instructor-based, doing it in a facility, to fully online. Just 24 hours. Everything was already set up and it was easy to switch everybody to the online version of the course. When you move all your classes from a facility-based, where the instructor is together with the learners, to something that’s online, there will always be some loss in terms of the engagement. We had to find a way of supplementing that loss. That is where CYPHER's LMS came in.     ### Improvements "There’s some tremendous benefits to the students now. First of all, they don’t have the commute hours, so they gain back so much time in their day. They can study in a hybrid way, so they can do some self-paced work along with some live work. That’s great for our business because we can reach a much broader audience, we’re no longer geographically limited" said Colin Christie, Co-Founder & Managing Director. "We have definitely seen an improvement in the pass rate that we’re getting for the U.S. credential exam. It was good before, it got even better with these people learning on CYPHER" said Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder, Chief Medical & Training Officer. ### Features "With the 2021 iteration, we decided to activate the gamification feature of CYPHER. This allows our learners to earn badges whenever they are able to meet certain competencies that are found within the course. These learners don’t have an instructor working with them full time, so in view of the proverbial “tap in the back” that you get from your instructor is these badges that do that for them" said Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder, Chief Medical & Training Officer. “We’ve learned so much in this past year, and that allows us to think big in terms of how we grow our business. We’re no longer geographically bound, so we can think of a market outside of the Philippines. We can deliver our courses around the globe, and that’s something we’re looking forward to being able to do!” Colin Christie, Co-Founder & Managing Director ## The results - Adoption of the CYPHER platform enabled flexible online course delivery - Swift transition to online learning within 24 hours ensured continuity of operations - Utilization of CYPHER's gamification and analytics features enhanced student engagement and progress tracking The CYPHER platform also brought some benefits that we weren’t even anticipating. The first one that comes to mind is analytics, the ability to see how the students are progressing with their course materials, and also the ability to have more flexibility with our assessments. Another benefit is the fact that students can monitor their own progress and work around their own schedules. They don’t have to be in a physical classroom where learning happens at the same time, and that gives them a lot of flexibility. “I think one of the things we’ve most appreciated the support is the level of expertise of the folks at CYPHER Learning. They not only know the platform and the technology, but they understand education. They understand how you teach and the different modalities of teaching. Having that kind of expertise has been a real plus.” Carlos Ongaco, Co-Founder, Chief Medical & Training Officer ## Press coverage [AI tool boosts trainee pass rates in medical coder certification tests BusinessWorld](https://www.bworldonline.com/labor-and-management/2024/04/19/589042/ai-tool-boosts-trainee-pass-rates-in-medical-coder-certification-tests/) [Bridging Borders: Filipinos Gain Worldwide Access Through FDA Medical Coding Certifications Good News Pilipinas](https://www.goodnewspilipinas.com/bridging-borders-filipinos-gain-worldwide-access-through-fda-medical-coding-certifications/) [HIMTI Sets Filipinos on Path to Global Healthcare Careers with U.S. Medical Coding Training Education](https://vocal.media/education/himti-sets-filipinos-on-path-to-global-healthcare-careers-with-u-s-medical-coding-training) [HIMTI Sets Filipinos on Path to Global Healthcare Careers with U.S. Medical Coding Training,...

The impact of employee training and onboarding can be significant, with up to [69% of employees sticking with a company for at least three years](https://www.oak.com/blog/employee-onboarding-statistics/#:~:text=According%20to%20Employee%20Onboarding%20Statistics,a%20Company%20for%20Three%20Years.) after exceptional or above-average training experiences. When employees are properly trained, they’re also more likely to be productive and contribute to the company’s growth and scalability. Although the process of employee training can sometimes overwhelm HR professionals and corporate instructors, it doesn’t have to. In this post, we’ll highlight the core benefits of employee training and provide practical tips to apply them to your specific business or use case. ## What is the purpose of employee training? For corporate leaders who want to grow and strengthen their organizations, employee training has an irreplaceable role. By design, employee training programs help team members (both new and veteran) gain new skills, build upon existing professional knowledge, and promote attitudes for peak performance. Businesses move quickly, and new technologies and processes emerge rapidly. Companies must keep pace and invest in one of their most valuable assets – people. Organizations that fail to onboard, train, or nurture growth within existing teams are at a higher risk of falling behind in highly competitive markets. ## Benefits of corporate employee training programs Not only does employee training improve corporate retention metrics, but the ability to learn at work transforms the way workers think job performance. If you’re on the fence whether to revamp your existing employee training modules, take a peek at the following advantages. ### Better job performance With adequate training, employees gain essential job-related skills. This increases employees’ confidence and improves job performance. As employees grow in competence, managers might observe fewer mistakes, greater team efficiency, and higher quality outputs. ### Greater employee satisfaction Effective training shows employees that leaders care their growth and development. When employees feel valued through training opportunities, their morale and overall job satisfaction are likely to increase. Training is one of the best ways to help staff members feel more invested in an organization’s mission, vision, and growth goals. Corporate managers and leaders also benefit from higher satisfaction. Over time, satisfied employees contribute to a qualified talent pipeline for new opportunities, promotions, and hiring options, according to the [University of South Florida](https://corporatetraining.usf.edu/blog/how-to-increase-employee-job-satisfaction). ### Enhanced regulatory compliance Depending on your industry, there may be specific training and employee onboarding standards that you must adhere to. Regulatory guidelines can also change frequently, making it more difficult to offer training courses that employees only need upon hire. If companies fail to meet compliance requirements, they could be subject to expensive penalties. Employee training ensures that corporate team members have [up-to-date compliance knowledge](/tour/reporting-and-analytics), preventing some of those hefty fines. While employees gain valuable knowledge related to topics like safety and security, they can also help their employer avoid costly mistakes. ## Tips for developing an effective employee training strategy Designing a productive employee training strategy isn’t necessarily simple, but it’s easier to accomplish when you have the right [learning platform for employee training](/solutions/employee-training). The right training mindset always involves an initial assessment, a long-term plan, and implementation techniques for seamless information transfer. As a learning and development leader, you hold an irreplaceable role in creating an employee training program that’s right for your business – including the team members you want to reach and serve. [Learn how to set better training goals with CYPHER skills development](/solutions/skills-development) Here are a few simple ways to jumpstart your efforts when it comes to drawing the training roadmap for your employees. ### Tip 1: Define specific goals As always, the first step for developing the most effective employee training strategy should be to understand your organization's long-term goals. You can get started on this process by working through the following steps. - Conducting a thorough needs assessment that analyzes the workforce skill gaps - Identifying your plan for current and future knowledge, skills, and abilities that are critical for your corporation's success - Aligning the employee training program with goals from executives or stakeholders - Ensuring your employees possess the necessary skills to support growth in key areas of the business [Use CYPHER’s groups and goals assessments to improve learner experiences](/tour/skills-development) Remember—different use cases require unique strategies. For example, the goals you have for basic employee onboarding are likely going to look different than your plans for delivering brand-new skills to technical team members. Always differentiate between use cases and applications to generate the most accurate training results. ### Tip 2: Create a skills level assessment Skills assessments are essential for training new hires and existing employees. Part of the reason for this is that resumes can be misleading, and employees occasionally misrepresent their understanding of key concepts, according to [TalentLyft](https://www.talentlyft.com/en/blog/article/158/hr-tricks-how-to-make-sure-a-candidates-resume-is-truthful). Moreover, employees don’t know what they don’t know. With a platform like CYPHER, employers can more accurately assess knowledge, proficiency, and mastery across 2,000+ pre-loaded unique competencies and across multiple job roles and titles. The only way to take corporate ownership of key skills is to evaluate. Once you have a baseline, it’s important to offer additional chances for skills development and upskilling. Growth doesn't need to stop once an employee hits a standard milestone. Instead, you can keep the momentum from those initial interactions going. ### Tip 3: Choose the most innovative delivery methods Learner engagement is crucial when it comes to employee learning and development. This means that archaic, detached methods of instruction are out. Employees crave modern teaching tools that give them valuable knowledge and honor their time. With CYPHER, instructors can [gamify the learning experience](/solutions/employee-training) to make it more personal, exciting, and involved. ### Tip 4: Verbalize expectations Whether you want to improve an existing training program or create one from scratch, set clear expectations for employees before the training process begins. For instance, if new hires are going through onboarding materials, clearly communicate that they should have them completed within the first week. Clearly verbalizing outcomes and goals sets the tone for the rest of the training experience. When instructions are confusing, employees may become frustrated and lack the motivation they need for progression. ### Tip 5: Measure progress and momentum The best employee training always includes regular [monitoring of individual and team progress](/tour/reporting-and-analytics). As an L&D leader or instructor, progress tracking helps you identify when employees might need additional support and coaching. When regular check-ins are part of the training process, employees also benefit from constructive feedback on ways to improve. ### Tip 6: Create personalized opportunities for growth Ensure the LMS you choose allows for customization. Different teams and positions require individualized and [personalized experiences](/blog/business/the-top-4-employee-requirements-that-a-skills-development-program-has-to-address). Design programs for software developers, engineers, sales team members, customer support staff, and upper-level managers or executives that fit their individual needs. The goal of personalized employee training is to prepare and equip employees for specific job-related tasks. Understanding the broader context of their work within a team allows them to excel and bring their own skills, knowledge, and strengths to the table. ## How leaders contribute to employee development and learning One crucial part of developing a strong and healthy company culture is leading by example. That means that everyone – from the top down – takes part in new employee training opportunities. Leaders can set the tone by remaining open to learning new skills and actively seeking knowledge that enhances managerial strengths. In turn, it’s important for leaders to encourage employees along the same path, providing exciting new opportunities and chances to share lessons. With a clear learning mindset, leaders set an example that employees can easily follow. Consider the following reminders if you lead or manage employees who are to embark on a training journey. - **Maintain open communication**. Explaining the purpose behind training is often critical for motivation and encouragement. Clearly explain the “why” behind new training programs or requirements. - **Lead by example**. Always have a positive mindset, particularly when specific training milestones are required by law. Try to excel at new skills or knowledge, and ask that all employees do the same. - **Offer rewards and incentives**. Incentivize or provide special perks when employees devote themselves to development and learning. This could be small bonuses, promotions, or salary increases for those who have completed certain skills assessments or training. Benefits create a [culture of continuous improvement](/solutions/continuing-education) and recognition. - **Gather feedback to refine the learning process**. Conduct surveys, focus groups, or one-on-one meetings to better understand what's working and what's not within individual training programs. Use that feedback in tangible ways, either to improve resources and tools or to create better systems and a more refined learning experience for everyone. [Mentorship and coaching options](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching) also provide personal touches that contribute to the strength of onboarding experiences and programs. ## CYPHER takes employee training to the next level At CYPHER, we know that employee training programs often get a bad reputation. Legacy LMS platforms, boring curricula, and a lack of follow-up and recall are just a few reasons [why employee training programs fail](/blog/business/employee-training-fails). Innovative and engaging employee training doesn't have to be a misplaced dream with no hope of success. It’s entirely possible to enjoy a [corporate LMS for training](/solutions/employee-training) that offers the following perks (without sacrificing real results and knowledge retention). - Flexible learning - Skills development - Onboarding programs - Training gamification - Mentorship and coaching **Start designing and**[creating more engaging training courses](/business/tour/create-engaging-courses-and-paths)**as early as today**. ## Maximize your training strategy While it’s true that the employee training process is crucial for employee retention, productivity, and job satisfaction, the results go beyond that. It takes planning and strategic thinking, along with a modernized LMS platform, to make your employee training goals a reality. **Instead of viewing training as a one-time experience, envision it as a continuous process that requires long-term investment, buy-in, and partnership.** At CYPHER, we’re here to join you in your training goals and make these realities possible.

We’ve also received positive feedback from students. ### Features - **Communication:** CYPHER has enabled a constant communication between teachers and students, and has made the learner become more dynamic, independent, and aligned with 21st century education. I believe that the faculty members and administrative team of the institution, have found in the platform the support needed to follow-up with students, to redirect their courses to meet the students’ needs and to enable students to be more independent. On the other hand, the teacher doesn’t have to worry calculating grades, because CYPHER allows them to plan activities for students specific to these evaluations - Ing. Wilbor Stam Perea, IT Professor - **Grading:** In the past we would have spent five, ten, or fifteen hours grading each exam by hand. But nowadays, when we are using the platform, I noticed that this grading is completed in one or two minutes because the platform gives us the answers. I can now spend that time connecting with my students and doing other types of activities. For instance we do outside activities that can help my students improve more than in other cases. So for me, CYPHER's evaluation tools have become very important because they enable me to have more time with my students inside and outside of class - Johana Lorena Cano, English Teacher - **Assignments:** The platform provides me with another way of assigning tasks, assessments, using resources such as videos, and more. The learners are asked to create or watch videos in the classroom, which is usually complicated to do, as there isn’t enough time and space to do so. With assignments such as the ones done through CYPHER, they can do them at their own pace, even outside the classroom and manage their time as they wish - Luis Gonzalez, Weight-Training Professor - **Ease of use:** I like CYPHER because it’s really easy to use, you can subscribe to all your classes easily with a short code, and you have access to all the materials that the professors give to you. CYPHER has helped me because I have all the information right in my hand. I use the CYPHER app on my phone, so I don’t have to carry a lot of heavy books, and instead use CYPHER to watch all my classes right on my phone - Alejandro, Student “CYPHER's evaluation tools have become very important because they enable me to have more time with my students inside and outside of class.” Johana Lorena Cano, English Teacher ## The results - Over a year, Escuela Nacional Del Deporte enrolled over 3,800 students and teachers and created more than 690 active courses, leading to improved interaction and better control over students' independent work - The adoption process of CYPHER was accelerated, leading to positive feedback from students - CYPHER's evaluation tools significantly reduced grading time for teachers, allowing more personalized student interaction and facilitating additional activities to enhance learning both inside and outside the classroom We’ve experienced many changes in our institution since using CYPHER's LMS. In just one year we were able to enroll more than 3,800 students and teachers, and create more than 690 active courses! The interaction between teachers and students has improved and there is better control over the students’ independent work. Additionally using CYPHER has contributed to the reduction of paper usage. “The interaction between teachers and students has improved.” Heberth Gonzaliaz Murillo Ph.D., LMS Manager ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

A learning management system (LMS) provides the structure, flexibility, and oversight necessary to support teams across all locations. ## Why restaurants need an LMS for training An LMS ensures all staff—from front-of-house to kitchen—are aligned on procedures, standards, and customer expectations. It supports: - **Consistent customer service** across all outlets. - **Regulatory compliance** with food safety and labor laws. - **Ongoing training**that evolves with your menu and strategy. With structured learning paths and trackable progress, managers can be assured that training isn't only completed but also retained and applied. ### Staff training made simple Whether teaching a new server the difference between wine pairings or reminding kitchen staff of allergen protocols, an LMS ensures consistent training delivery. This not only improves execution but also reduces incidents of non-compliance. Pro tip: Consistency in training directly lowers health code violations and boosts staff accountability. Moreover, well-trained employees feel more capable and confident, which leads to lower turnover and a stronger team culture. With CYPHER, training is continuous, reinforcing skills over time rather than relying on a one-and-done model. ### Structured employee onboarding The fast-paced nature of restaurant work often limits the time managers can dedicate to onboarding new employees. With an LMS, new hires can be introduced to restaurant culture, expectations, and core tasks via standardized modules. Onboarding becomes efficient, repeatable, and measurable. Managers can monitor progress, identify employees who are struggling early, and offer targeted support. This proactive approach sets new hires—and their teams—up for long-term success. ### Ongoing learning to keep up with change Restaurants are dynamic. From rotating specials to seasonal menus and operational changes, continuous learning ensures staff remain informed and agile. For example, with CYPHER, employees can access training on new menu items, like prep steps, ingredients, and suggested pairings. This empowers servers to confidently recommend dishes, improving the guest experience and boosting check averages. ### Compliance training that protects your brand Compliance training isn't just a box to tick—it's protecting your business, your staff, and your customers. With CYPHER, employees can access compliance courses at any time, from any device, thereby increasing both engagement and knowledge retention. Training modules can be tailored to local health codes using generative AI, ensuring accuracy and relevancy. This personalization goes beyond generic, off-the-shelf content, providing your staff with exactly what they need to stay compliant. Bonus tip: CYPHER uses AI tools to tailor compliance training to local regulations, ideal for multi-location operations across various jurisdictions. In short, an LMS like CYPHER doesn't just deliver training—it builds trust, consistency, and operational excellence throughout your restaurant group. ## What restaurants should look for in a training LMS? ### 1. Enterprise-grade scalability An effective platform must support dozens or hundreds of locations from a single portal. CYPHER offers “franchise training in‑a‑box,” enabling multiple branded portals and language support, all within one system. [Source: CYPHER Learning](/solutions/franchises) ### 2.

As the only LMS platform offering AI-powered skill management and comprehensive course creation, CYPHER Learning distinguishes itself by prioritizing data privacy, ownership, and security. This innovative approach not only enhances the learning experience but also safeguards customer data. ## The challenge of accuracy in AI-generated content Generative AI models, like GPT-4, are known for their ability to produce coherent, contextually relevant, and human-like text. However, these models are not immune to errors. They can sometimes generate content with factual inaccuracies, biased statements, or logical inconsistencies, which can compromise the credibility of the material and the organizations using it. ## Introducing AI Crosscheck by CYPHER Learning To address these challenges, CYPHER Learning has introduced a groundbreaking feature: AI Crosscheck. This innovative tool helps to improve the accuracy and quality of AI-generated content, making it a crucial component in the safe and reliable adoption of generative AI. Here’s how AI Crosscheck revolutionizes AI-generated content: - **Accuracy and reliability**: AI Crosscheck leverages a powerful general AI to review and flag inconsistencies in generated content. It identifies errors, provides reasons for these flags, and suggests replacement text. Users can then choose to apply or ignore these suggestions. - **Ease of use**: Activating AI Crosscheck is straightforward. Simply select the option to apply it to the course being created. The tool will automatically review the content and report any issues found, summarizing the problem and offering a recommendation. Users can then decide whether to dismiss or apply the suggested changes. ## The benefits of AI Crosscheck - **Increased trust and credibility**: By improving the accuracy of AI-generated content, organizations can produce more reliable and trustworthy material. This builds trust with their audience and enhances their reputation in any industry. - **Safer AI adoption**: One of the main barriers to the widespread adoption of generative AI is the fear of inaccuracies and potential harmful content. AI Crosscheck provides a robust safety net, addressing these concerns and making it safer for organizations to integrate AI technologies into their content creation processes. ## A significant advancement in Generative AI The introduction of AI Crosscheck by CYPHER Learning marks a significant milestone in the realm of generative AI. By ensuring that AI-generated content is accurate, reliable, and of the highest quality, AI Crosscheck helps organizations confidently embrace AI in their content creation processes. CYPHER Learning continues to lead the way in educational technology, offering innovative solutions that prioritize both the enhancement of the learning experience and the protection of customer data.

It can be overwhelming and frustrating. Grading can even influence what assignments they choose to give to students, anticipating the workload of marking each submission. A solution comes from rubrics, which are benchmarks used in grading to help assess students’ learning. Rubrics include the criteria for evaluation and the level of performance with descriptions for each. They help students understand what is expected of them and therefore regulate their work according to the demands. Also, rubrics help teachers provide objective feedback to students, facilitating the desired outcome, which is deep learning. Consequently, rubrics not only facilitate the marking process but they make it objective, concise, and reliable when grading assignments. Read more: [What is the role of rubrics in performance-based education?](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/the-role-of-rubrics-in-performance-based-education/) The rubric's features are essential because they provide clear guidelines for the teacher. The goal is to reach a consistent grading process. ## 6 Digital tools that help teachers create effective rubrics Although pen-and-paper rubrics are generally time-consuming, web-based rubric generators are more efficient. Teachers can access templates that work across the curriculum, various subjects, and learning activities. They can also customize available templates to suit their classes' needs and reuse rubrics anytime. Here are six digital tools for creating effective rubrics: 1. ### Rubistar [Rubistar](http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php) is a web-based rubric generator for PBL activities that allow teachers to create or customize premade rubrics for free. Teachers have to register to save and reuse their rubrics. Once created, they can view, edit, analyze or delete rubrics at any time. The analysis feature provides information regarding how many students received the same rating, whether the assignment was complicated or straightforward, ambiguous or clear for students, and if the criteria of a certain level of performance were hard to reach. As a result, teachers can adapt their rubrics and lessons to suit the students’ needs and ensure progress. Teachers can choose from various rubrics for oral presentations, research, writing, science, work skills, products, math, art, music, or reading. Then, they can establish each criterion from a list and the levels of performance with their description. 2. ### Rubric Maker [Rubric Maker](https://rubric-maker.com/) is a tool that assists teachers in the assessment process, helping them articulate their expectations and how the students will be evaluated. Students receive a complete scheme of goals to reach success. With this tool, teachers can create quality rubrics using pre-established quality ratings, such as “exceed expectations, meets expectations, needs improvement, and below expectations”, or customize them to suit the needs of each class. 3. ### Quick Rubric [Quick Rubric](https://www.quickrubric.com/) is a tool used to score assignments based on how students meet specific criteria. Rubrics can be used to evaluate various performance-based assignments, such as oral presentations, essays, or projects. Teachers can create rubrics that have different formats depending on the number of criteria and the levels of quality. The performance ratings can be numerical, descriptive, or both. With Quick Rubric, teachers can eliminate grading bias due to the specific criteria laid out in the rubric. This translates into teacher scoring accuracy when multiple evaluators use the same rubrics for the same assignment. The templates provide three scoring levels: proficient, emerging, beginner, but you can personalize the rubrics by editing them or adding new ones. The final rubric contains the title, description, and instructions. 4. ### OrangeSlice: Student Rubric [OrangeSlice: Student Rubric](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/orangeslice_student_rubric/746159691031) is a Google add-on that makes grading productive and professional. Teachers create, distribute and receive submitted assignments from students through Google Classroom, and Teacher Rubric facilitates the grading process. The rubrics appear in the right half of the Google Docs document to be assessed, and the final grade is a few clicks away. This tool allows teachers to offer objective feedback to all students while benefiting from a consistent grading process. When you open an assignment, the add-on assists the grading process. Teachers have to choose first between descending or ascending performance level progression, then between traditional scoring (A, B, C, D, E, F), “great, good, needs more” (which can be changed later), or create a new ranking. Also, teachers have to choose the categories to be evaluated or create new ones before generating the rubric. Educators can alter the final score by using the options “extra credit,” “late penalty,” or “plagiarized penalty” and then automatically process and introduce the grade details into the students’ Google Docs assignment who can see in detail how they were evaluated. They can also generate holistic and analysis rubrics for a better understanding of student achievement. 5. ### TeAch-nology [TeAch-nology](https://www.teach-nology.com/) is a website full of resources for teachers, including a large selection of rubrics. Teachers can choose to generate numerous rubrics on different activities or create personalized ones. The templates make grading easy, especially when students can choose how to present their work. They can generate templates suitable for various products, such as essays, posters, or presentations, and ensure they stay objective and maintain fairness even when assessing different outputs for the same task. Rubrics allow students to evaluate their work or their peers’. With more than five hundred printable rubrics and the general rubric generator, teachers have a rubric suitable for every assignment. 6. ### CYPHER Learning [CYPHER Learning](/academia) has a rubrics feature that allows teachers to create, edit, save and reuse rubrics for a straightforward grading process. Rubrics are integrated within the assignment submission page. You can create a new rubric for each assignment or reuse the ones in your library. The CYPHER Learning platform offers a personal library and access to school, organization, and district libraries with available resources such as rubrics created by fellow teachers. Schools can also ensure that grading is objective and consistent by using the same rubric for similar tasks. Moreover, they can ensure transparency and reliability regarding students’ learning levels. Creating rubrics with CYPHER Learning is easy since teachers can use the template provided by the platform or reuse the ones from the library. When grading, teachers need to select a rubric to automatically insert it into the students’ submission page. With only a few clicks, they can grade their submissions, adjust the grades by subtracting points, for instance, and leave a comment or an attachment as feedback. As a result, students understand their performance by receiving the full details of their evaluation. ## To sum up Rubrics are indispensable tools for a teacher, making grading time-efficient, objective and reliable. They also come with benefits for the students in terms of clear expectations and realistic performance analysis.

Although it's a day to celebrate teachers and their work, it also brings forward children's rights and access to education. Under this year's theme, "The transformation of education begins with teachers," World Teachers' Day is a good opportunity to realize the immense impact teachers have on students’ lives and contribute to their education. ## 10 Ideas for celebrating World Teachers' Day 2022 World Teacher's Day is celebrated differently around the world. However, every teacher, student, parent, or community member celebrates teachers by manifesting gratitude and appreciation. Read on to find out ways you can celebrate teachers this year: ### 3 Ideas for teachers As a teacher myself, I know that you devote a lot of time to your job. This year, celebrate by working on yourself and your relationship with your students. Here are three things you can consider: **1. Remember to dedicate time to yourself.** Take care of your health and do something that makes you happy. Let this 5th of October be the beginning of a year of self-care. You can try these relaxing activities that can become a habit of good well-being practice. **2. Have students can ask you anything related to your job.** You can call it "Interview your teacher" or hop on the AMA (Ask Me Anything) trend. Depending on your students' age, adapt answers to show that your job is crucial to any well-functioning society. You have the power to inspire students and shift the perspective from an underrated job to one that changes minds and characters for the benefit of humanity. **3. Let your students be the teacher for a class.** This role reversal exercise will give students a glimpse into the life of a teacher and provide a new perspective on what it means to be you. I do this frequently in my class, and my students are impressed or surprised what it takes to teach a class. Some realize they want to become teachers themselves, and others walk away with more gratitude towards teachers' work, promising to be more understanding and respectful of them in the future. Find out more this teaching strategy in the Read more section. ### 3 Ideas for students In my experience, understanding what a teacher does and feels every day is a tool for engagement, which also enriches the learning experience. Here are some ideas for students: **1. Create a scrapbook.** This can be a project on [Book Creator](/blog/k-20/4-ways-to-promote-collaboration-in-digital-spaces), or a PowerPoint presentation with your favorite memories of you and your teacher. This way, you show them you value every experience you have shared and want to treasure the memories you have created together. You never know what your teachers can add to your project (old photos, papers, notes that they kept), turning this moment into a journey down memory lane. **2. Gather video testimonies of all the students in which you show your appreciation.** Thank teachers for what they have done for you and your classmates. Be specific and concise and make sure the video isn't longer than three or five minutes. Your final video can be addressed to one of your teachers or multiple teachers. Send them the video, share it on social media, and show it in class or at the school event for World Teachers' Day to capture their reactions, too. Surprising them with heartfelt messages, you'll experience the best feeling in the world of making their day and year. **3. Put on a show for your teacher.** [Showcase your talent](https://www.momjunction.com/articles/quick-fun-activities-to-celebrate-teachers-day-this-year_0089694/) in singing, drawing, acting, dancing, etc. You can have some pre-recorded videos of students showing different skills, to which you can also add a small exhibition of crafts you have made for your teacher. Even better if you have learned one or more of your skills from your teacher. It will give them a sense of accomplishment and pride besides the thoughtful surprise.

Why not take this opportunity to strengthen your collaboration? **1. Ask your teachers what they need so they can provide the best learning environment for your children.** Whether it's buying supplies or getting involved in Career Day, try to improve the learning experience teachers create for students. **2. Teachers need to attend professional development programs periodically.** If you or your community can, provide funds for them to attend these programs or purchase materials that help them in this matter. It benefits students in the long run, too. **3. Organize a big event in your school or community to thank the teachers.** It could be a picnic, a parade, a class decoration contest, planting a tree in their honor, or chalk art decorations. ### Bonus idea Why not make the best of the virtual world and use its resources to thank teachers? You can send them online cards, messages, photos, free access to resources, etc. Invite other community members to do the same and create a wave of online thank you surprises for your teachers. ## How are you celebrating World Teachers' Day 2022? On the 5th of October, let's take some time to thank a teacher. It doesn't have to be anything major: a message, flowers, or a handmade gift is always a good choice. Celebrating World Teachers' Day in any way will make you feel fulfilled by showing your teachers how cherished they are.

We were looking for an LMS that could benefit both our teachers and our learners. So, when we came across CYPHER Learning®, it was like our prayers were answered. In the midst of a nationwide quarantine, we managed to maintain the standards of our education that we have built for almost two decades. ### Implementation Richard Estuesta, director of digital transformation said "In a considerably short amount of time CYPHER was able to help our school adjust to an environment preschools are normally not a part of." ### Features - **Content development:**We launched our summer classes online.

All teachers know how frustrating it is to deal with disruptions. In fact, off-task behavior can take away a few hours each month, meaning that a lot of lesson time is lost. However, despite the obvious need to better prepare teachers to deal with classroom management, only 42% of teacher preparation programs offer significant feedback to their student teachers in this area, according to [this 2016 paper by the National Council on Teacher Quality](https://www.nctq.org/publications/Teacher-Prep-Review:-Undergraduate-Elementary-Education). There’s certainly a lot of room for improvement. Students usually display off task-behavior when they find other activities in their environment, use self-distraction, or are interrupted by peers. But just knowing the causes is not enough for teachers to know how to deal with it. Here are six ways in which teachers can successfully manage off-task behavior: ## 1. Think proactively Some teachers love the benefits of starting off each day by being more proactive in their approach to classroom management. Greeting each student at the door as a method of connecting with them is a great example. You can also be more assertive from the beginning and make it clear from the beginning that off-task behaviors are not acceptable. Establish classroom rules together with their students and keep a calm demeanor at all times. Another great tip is to present the agenda for the day or a to-do list so students know what they’re supposed to be doing at all times. ## 2. Optimize their environment Students get sidetracked by their surroundings all the time. After all, most of us have stared wistfully out the window at some point during classes. A classroom can be designed to engage students and improve their focus. We have talked how active learning classrooms are changing Higher Education, and I believe that it can be the same for K-12. Regardless, to minimize distractions, you can change the seating arrangement and go for U-shaped arrangements, desks for group discussions or flexible furniture that allows them to quickly switch from one activity to another.

Use reminders Teachers that successfully manage disruptions employ a set of techniques to make students pay more attention. They know that students’ focus dwindles as time goes by and that it is not their fault. For example, you can give them verbal reminders by asking “What are you supposed to be doing now?”. Nonverbal ones work just as well, whether it is setting a sound on your phone or choosing a hand gesture that signals it is time to go back to the task. It’s also effective to remind them that they need to stay on track before the task begins. Simply reminding them a previously established rule can make all the difference. It’s also harder for them not to follow a rule since you’ve already discussed it together with them (see number 1.) ## 4. Assess the activity It’s difficult to come up with something new every day. And, as teachers like to point out sometimes, they are not there to entertain students. While that is true, sometimes the activity is not the best for what you are trying to accomplish. Maybe it is not challenging enough or it is too difficult for them, in which case they will try to “escape” mentally or by displaying disruptive behaviors. In this case, you can adjust your teaching strategies to better engage students. For example, a [study suggests](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303691151_Off-task_behavior_in_elementary_school_children) that students are more likely to be on-task in small group activities rather than whole group instruction. ## 5. Actively supervise students By actively supervising students, you are also interacting more with them. [Active supervision](https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1137898.pdf) isn’t something that only small children need. It also helps older children focus when you simply stand next to them more often. Of course, that also means using more open body language, by making eye and smiling. When a student is being particularly disruptive, don’t isolate them. Instead, bring them to sit near you or in front of the classroom. ## 6. Give them breaks Sometimes, instead of continuing the lesson, you need to just pause and assess the situation. Usually, there are just a few students that need more guidance to pay attention or are being disruptive. In this case, you need to speak individually with them. Otherwise, if the whole group is distracted by something, you might need to pause the lesson altogether and figure out what is happening. Sometimes it can be as simple as a dip in energy levels or maybe they are just restless. You can try to do a three-minute icebreaker exercise such as Simon Says. Some students [focus better when doodling](https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-thinking-benefits-of-doodling-2016121510844) so don’t reprimand them for doing that. Overall, it is better to take a five-minute break than have students that can’t focus for the entire duration of the lesson. ## Keep in mind Whether they come from the environment, their peers, or self-distractions, off-task behaviors are always going to be there. The most important takeaway is that teachers can optimize the environment and apply certain techniques to help students improve their focus. Whatever you do, it will not be perfect. Building a relationship with students takes time and so does a more [empathic classroom](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/k-20/the-benefits-of-an-empathic-mindset-approach-to-classroom-management/) management approach. In the long run, this will certainly pay off.

The presence of devices and apps in their students’ lives seems to be in the way of instilling a **love of reading**. However, at the same time, the **online book community** seems to be thriving, with [booktube](https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/what-is-booktube_l_5cc06c21e4b01b6b3efb45ec) channels, book blogs, and online book clubs. Instead of seeing technology in terms of distractors or positive factors, teachers can **amplify literacy through the use of technology**. That’s why you'll benefit from looking at the ways in which the online book community has engaged millions of readers. Here are some tips to “steal” for your classroom or school: 1. ### Have a dedicated space for discussing reading There are many options available to teachers, such as starting a blog or YouTube channel for **student book reviews**. If you want to keep reviews private, you can use the school’s LMS to store videos and use the **online forum and blog features**. 2. ### Video reviews and trailers Making your own video review takes a lot of hard work - actually, students have to work harder than they do when writing a book report. With some help, they can also create **book trailers**, which require more editing, but you can use cheap methods such as green screen to make **books come alive** in their imaginations. 3. ### Retellings and pairing books with movies The idea of **pairing books and movies** is nothing new, but it’s still a great way to increase comprehension. Plus, interesting things happen when **students reimagine classics** in their own context, such as discussing what it would be like to have a character as a friend or what they would do if tomorrow they found themselves in the book they are reading. 4. ### Introducing audiobooks and ebooks It seems that **children prefer ebooks** for the sake of familiarity. If you have students that struggle to read or simply need an extra incentive in their environment to do so, then **audiobooks and ebooks** can be a good place to start or simply get in the habit of reading. It just shows that reading is as accessible as playing games or watching videos on their phone. 5. ### Organizing read-alongs Similar to book clubs, **read-alongs are fun** ways in which people can discuss a text in an online forum, group, or via chat. If this seems challenging, students can read books in smaller groups or in pairs. The main point is for them to **share ideas as they read** and increase their understanding of a text by reflecting on what they’ve just read. 6. ### Reading challenges Mandatory reading comes more naturally for more advanced readers. For others, however, it can feel like a big challenge. In contrast, **thematic reading challenges** use the **power of community** for motivation. They can also be kept as a separate section, for example, by creating a separate group in your LMS for challenges, you won’t disrupt the normal flow of lessons. 7. ### Chat with authors Some authors might be **happy to read to your students**. For finding an author, Google is your friend and so is social media. If distance is a problem, **video calls prove to be more accessible**, save time, and are not restricted by location so you could be teaching anywhere and still bring an author into your classroom. 8. ### Make it an event Schools have even partnered with other institutions to **create international film festivals** for book trailers, but you don’t need to organize a festival to have an impact. Finding a name for your **community of student readers**, a visual identity and maybe a hashtag for Twitter updates can be enough to get things started.

Around 68% of employees prefer to learn or train in the workplace and 58% of employees prefer to learn or train at their own speed. What is clear is that learners prefer more autonomous learning in the workplace, and taking this into consideration leads to better engagement and training ROI. ## What is learner autonomy? Learner autonomy, or autonomous learning, is closely tied to the concept of self-directed learning (SDL), which dates back to Malcolm Knowles' studies on self-directed [andragogy](https://lincs.ed.gov/sites/default/files/11_%20TEAL_Adult_Learning_Theory.pdf). He defined it as "a process in which individuals take the initiative without the help of others in diagnosing their learning needs, formulating goals, identifying human and material resources, and evaluating learning outcomes." Today, this concept is even more relevant, as adult learners want to have control of their training and development. ## Key benefits of learner autonomy for corporate learning - **Increased engagement:**When employees have autonomy, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated. This can lead to higher levels of interest and enthusiasm for the learning process, resulting in better retention of information and skills. - **Fosters creativity and innovation:**Empowering employees to explore topics of interest and pursue self-directed learning can stimulate creativity and innovation within the organization. - **Flexibility and adaptability:**Learner autonomy allows employees to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule, which is particularly important in today's fast-paced and dynamic business environment. - **Continuous learning culture:**When employees are encouraged to take ownership of their learning and pursue ongoing development opportunities, it sends a powerful message that learning is valued and supported at all levels of the organization. - **Improved performance and productivity:**When individuals have the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles, they are better equipped to contribute to the overall success of the organization. ## Why is learner autonomy important for corporate learning? L&D departments have had to adjust and transform tremendously in the past decade. First, the digital revolution has moved much of the learning online, then the pandemic moved much of the workforce out of the office. The subsequent workforce realignment placed extra strain on the employees as well as the L&D departments. In addition to much of the workforce shifting online, new technologies, governmental changes, and shifting industries are bringing what is now known as a “[new era of turbulence](/resources/research/business/generative-ai-in-2024-a-potential-lifeline-amid-workplace-turbulence),” according to the World Economic [Forum’s Future of Jobs Report](https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2023.pdf). This era calls for a more resilient workforce with upskilling, cross-skilling, and reskilling at the forefront of building resilience. In a recent survey of 400 HR and business leaders across the US and UK, 40% of respondents said talent retention and staff well-being are their two priorities for 2024, and 35% said upskilling is their top priority. Autonomous learning benefits all aspects of an organization. Specifically, when it comes to talent retention, employees are drawn to companies that support their personal and professional development, trust in their decision making and priorities, and provide opportunities for growth and advancement. Offering autonomy in learning demonstrates a commitment to employee development and empowerment. Learner autonomy also encourages a culture of innovation and creativity within the organization. When employees are encouraged to explore new ideas and approaches independently, they are more likely to contribute fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to business challenges. This not only enhances the organization's competitiveness but also fosters a sense of fulfillment and purpose among employees. ### Adult learners want self-direction SDL has many facets, yet the critical element is an [individually motivated](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/benefits-self-directed-learning-jwalant-patel/) desire to learn. E-learning is the optimal format for SDL since it allows for more flexibility and integration of various learning content formats to accommodate a wide array of learning preferences. However, which learning platform you adopt greatly affects the effectiveness of your learning program. In today's globalized workforce, it's essential that learning platforms facilitate collaboration and connectivity across geographical boundaries, connecting people who speak different languages. Features such as [universal translators](/tour/human-connection), discussion forums, and social learning communities enable learners to engage with peers, mentors, and trainers across your organization, fostering a rich learning experience. ## Challenges of implementing autonomous learning Autonomous learning challenges for learners range from limited access to resources to the absence of structured evaluation processes. Learners may encounter difficulties in finding credible learning materials, managing their time effectively, maintaining motivation without external supervision, and more. - **Lack of time:**Let’s face it. Everyone feels overwhelmed at work sometimes and trying to integrate self-directed learning on top of work stress can be a challenge. Especially when the learning programs feel like a burden, chore, or have a steep learning curve. - **Access to resources:**Autonomous learning requires access to relevant learning resources, such as courses, online tutorials, and mentors. Not all employees may have equal access to these resources, which can hinder their ability to engage in self-directed learning. - **Skill and motivation:**Some employees may struggle with self discipline, time management, or learning independently without direct guidance. Without personalized learning paths or courses, some employees may fall through the cracks. - **Lack of feedback and accountability:**Without proper feedback mechanisms and accountability structures in place, employees may struggle to assess their progress and stay motivated in their learning journey. They may also lack guidance on how to adjust their learning strategies based on feedback. - **Integration with workflows:**[Integrating autonomous learning](/tour/integrations) into existing workflows and processes can be challenging. Employers need to find ways to align self-directed learning with organizational goals, objectives, and existing tools while ensuring it doesn't disrupt daily operations. - **Evaluation and recognition:**Traditional performance evaluation systems may not effectively measure the impact of autonomous learning on employee performance and development. Organizations must lean into new methods for evaluating and recognizing the skills and knowledge gained through self-directed learning, such as [competency-based learning](/tour/competency-based-learning). ## How can companies support autonomous learning in the workplace? Companies have a lot to gain if employees embrace learner autonomy. Intrinsically motivated learners give organizations an excellent competitive advantage in the market. Autonomous learning not only enhances employee engagement, but it can also accelerate skill development, increase adaptability and innovation, improve talent retention, save money, and more. But to get there, organizations need to take steps to ensure the work environment is conducive to continuous learning. Here are some ideas: ### Learning programs that look to the future Long-term thinking means more than bridging present skills gaps. The "quick fix" method, where learning is solely deployed to close urgent learning gaps, is not a winning one. Learning initiatives should prioritize building foundational skills that are transferable across roles and industries, rather than just providing quick fixes for current needs. Companies should partner with learning platforms that demonstrate a [commitment to ongoing innovation](/platform) and adaptation to changing circumstances. This ensures that employees have access to the most relevant and up-to-date learning resources as the landscape evolves. It also promotes a continuous learning culture. ### Choosing the right technology Don't expect employees to take control of their development while providing sub-par or outdated learning platforms. Selecting the appropriate learning technology is crucial for supporting autonomous learning in the workplace. Companies should invest in modern, user-friendly platforms that facilitate personalized learning experiences. The chosen platform should offer features such as AI-driven recommendations, adaptive learning paths, and diverse content formats to cater to different learning preferences. It should also provide robust tracking and analytics capabilities, allowing companies to monitor learner progress, identify areas for improvement, and measure the impact of learning initiatives. Integration with other systems and tools used within the organization, such as HR software and performance management systems, can further streamline the learning experience and enhance its effectiveness. ### Fostering a positive company culture Cultivating a positive company culture that values learning, growth, and experimentation is essential for supporting autonomous learning. Companies should promote a growth mindset where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for learning and development rather than failures to be punished. Encouraging open communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among employees fosters a supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to take risks and explore new ideas. Recognition and rewards for learning achievements can further incentivize employees to engage in self-directed learning and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement. ## How CYPHER Learning supports autonomous learning in the workplace CYPHER Learning recognizes the importance of empowering employees to take control of their own development and offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features designed to support autonomous learning in the workplace.

CYPHER uses AI to save time, not add complexity — automating tasks like course creation, skills mapping, and personalization in minutes with CYPHER Agent. AI supports, not replaces, human expertise, helping people learn faster, in the moment, and in the flow of work. It makes learning more relevant, more human, and easier to manage. **What AI use cases do you support?** While our long-term vision is to create agents to support every persona and automate as many tasks as possible, the current use cases CYPHER supports are: 1. **Rapid course development**: Create full courses in minutes using existing content, prompts, or proprietary files, including skills mapping, assessments, images, voiceovers, and summaries. Create a course all at once and edit it after, or create it step-by-step, providing direction adding changes as you go. 2. **Personalized learning in the moment**: Deliver just-in-time learning based on a learner’s needs, role, and preferences, with AI-curated content, concept maps, and informal training on demand. 3. **Skills alignment and optimization**: Map and manage skills across content and learners. Generate custom taxonomies and tie learning directly to skills and business needs. 4. **Assessment and feedback automation**: Automatically generate skill-aligned assessments, study guides, glossaries, and learner feedback, saving time and improving measurement of progress. 5. **Learner engagement and motivation**: Use AI to create personalized gamification, real-time guidance, and engagement tracking to keep learners motivated and on track. 6. **AI generated images**: Add AI generated images to courses and learner content to add visual interest and illustrations without having to seek out just the right -free image. 7. **Voice-enabled, multilingual learning (coming soon)**: Enable hands-free learning and content creation in 50+ languages with voice interfaces and multilingual support. 8. **In-course assistance (coming soon)**: Instructors and learners can access Agent from within the course to help zero in on course material, monitor learner progress, and get extra help. **Does CYPHER Learning have an AI Roadmap?** CYPHER Learning maintains a dynamic and adaptive product roadmap focused on continuous innovation. While we plan core feature development in one-year cycles to remain agile, our long-term vision is guided by key focus areas driven by emerging technology, industry trends, and customer needs. Throughout our roadmap, we are prioritizing expanded AI integration in the areas of content creation, skills development, and self-assessment. By actively engaging with our customers through feedback channels and monitoring emerging trends, we ensure that our roadmap remains aligned with real-world use cases and future learning demands. **Does CYPHER use AI to recommend relevant content for learners?** Yes. The platform includes a course recommendation engine within the skill development tool. It can recommend courses based on identified skill gaps, helping learners to improve and advance in specific areas. CYPHER Agent can also recommend specific formal courses in the catalog for a learner to review a topic area or generate content on demand for that learner to strengthen skills that do not have specific content already created. In Q4 of 2025, we will also launch our CYPHER Agent assess and coach tools, which will allow a learner to self-assess on skills to get content and custom learning path recommendations to meet their goals and the ability to analyze both learner history and job history to recommend goals and content. **Can CYPHER Agent generate new training content?** Yes. CYPHER Agent includes both a course creation tool and the learner tool to address both formal course creation and informal learning. The course creation tool can create courses, quizzes, study materials, and other learning resources based on existing knowledge and proprietary content. The learner tool creates on demand content for a learner that leverages both the AI platform's knowledge (either public knowledge or proprietary files made available through the Agent knowledge base) and its understanding of the learner (including course history, learner behaviors, and learner preferences) to generate personalized training materials. **Does CYPHER Learning support Generative AI Chat-to-training?**  Yes. The platform supports Generative AI Chat-to-training through the new CYPHER Agent for learners tool, which enables learners to interact with AI and receive personalized training content based on their queries. CYPHER Agent can incorporate data from existing learning content, as well as outside resources provided to the platform such as outside file shares of content and in the case of existing learning content, CYPHER Agent will recommend specific courses and assist with enrollment. Learner interactions with generated content are tracked and can be used in tandem with skills development to improve mastery. **What is CYPHER Agent for learners?** CYPHER Agent for learners is an AI-powered learning agent designed to augment the learner experience as they develop new skills, close knowledge gaps, and move through more traditional learning courses and paths. Using a chat-based interface, learners ask the topic of interest and, if the question falls within the guardrails set by the administrators, CYPHER Agent generates and verifies an answer, creating a concept map. Learners can generate learning based on proprietary material from Agent knowledge base, such as sales playbooks, policy documents, or product guides, or they can generate topics outside of company resources, such as “How to have a challenging conversation” or “How can I use Power BI?” The agent knows the learner, their role, and their company and that information informs the depth and breadth of the response. **Does CYPHER Agent for learners replace course-based learning?** CYPHER Agent for learners is not intended to replace traditional learning. It is intended to augment it by providing additional context and by supporting alternate learning needs, such as language or learning style, creating accessible, interactive learning on company material, as well as providing immediate answers on topics not covered in the current catalog . Structured courses are still a good way to ensure that a standard set of content is delivered, provide hands-on exercises, personal feedback from subject matter experts, and standardize evaluations. CYPHER Agent for learners is great for giving learners access to what they need to know in the moment. **What kind of Agents do you have?** We currently offer CYPHER Agent for learners, course creators, and administrators. The learner Agent delivers personalized, just-in-time learning in the moment. The creator and admin Agent, originally launched in 2023 (as CYPHER Copilot), automates course creation, skills mapping, assessments, gamification, and more. Our vision is to build a CYPHER Agent for every key stakeholder, including managers, instructors, partners, and customers, to make learning and development faster, smarter, and more intuitive for everyone. **Do administrators or course creators need to do anything to set up CYPHER Agent for learners?** No. Once you enable CYPHER Agent for learners, learners can begin to interact with it. CYPHER Agent will leverage the learner profile to tailor its answers and will always generate answers aimed at developing skills and knowledge. Administrators can add content guardrails to CYPHER Agent if desired and add internal resources to the Agent knowledge base. **How do I make internal material available for use by CYPHER Agent?** When you add a resource to CYPHER you can make it available to the Agent knowledge base by selecting that option on the resource. Only resources flagged for reference by CYPHER Agent will be used. You can update this setting as needed. Learner experience **When would a learner use CYPHER Agent?** Learners can use CYPHER Agent whenever they have a question that cannot be addressed by the current learning material, either because the course material doesn’t exist, the learner needs it in another form or in more depth, or the learner just needs an on-demand answer. Possible scenarios include: - A new hire needs to be refreshed on a process and can’t recall where to find the information. CYPHER Agent finds and offers the answer along with related helpful information. - A sales rep is on a call with a client who is asking questions a new product they can answer–Agent leverages the product and sales documents to provide quick, referenceable answers. - An employee has been tasked with a project requiring a skill they don’t have, and there’s no existing course. Agent generates in-the-moment learning to get them started. **What does CYPHER Agent generate when you ask it a question?** When you ask CYPHER Agent a question, it: - References available proprietary resources and, if needed, public knowledge to generate a response - Crosschecks every part of the answer before displaying it - Creates a custom image - Provides an introduction to the answer - Generates a concept map of the topics grouped by relationship so you can explore or zero in on exactly what you need - Creates a table of contents so you can explore topics in a linear fashion **How are the concept maps created?** CYPHER Agent builds the concept map automatically based on the question asked and what it knows the learner. The results are generated immediately following crosscheck upon the learner inputting the question. The answers are broken into four subtopics, with a further five sections per subtopic. This enables learners to either explore the topic methodically or zero in on exactly what they need to know. **How do learners launch CYPHER Agent?** Once you’ve enabled CYPHER Agent for learners, learners can click on the AI icon in the lower right corner and select **Learn.** - Watch this tutorial on how to enable CYPHER Agent for learners. - Watch this tutorial on how to access and use CYPHER Agent for learners. **Does CYPHER Agent work in any language?** CYPHER Agent supports 50+ languages and will default to the learner’s preferred language. **Can you pre-load topics on the initial page or is it formulated specifically to each individual?** CYPHER Agent will suggest a number of questions based on the individual and based on their profile. **How can CYPHER Agent personalize its answers to the learner?** We preload that profile area with things like which courses you're enrolled with, what your job title is, who you work for. Then as it interacts with you, it gradually updates its knowledge of you into its memory. When you access Agent, it shows suggestions that are based on what it knows you. The Agent will also only pull from resources that are available to the learner, respecting the resource security that’s been set up. **Will CYPHER Agent continue to learn the learner?** The Agent starts by knowing the learner’s organization, their role at the organization, and their learning history in the LMS. As time goes on and based on what information the learner feeds Agent, it will learn even more and apply that to future responses. From simple things like “I like examples that reference sports” to more meaningful questions like, “English isn’t my first language but I’d like to keep learning in English,” which can lead to answers that are more thoughtful. **Can CYPHER Agent for learners generate answers from our existing courses or proprietary material?** CYPHER Agent for learners can read and return content so that learners can get answers to your specific company questions. Administrators choose which resources to make available to the Agent knowledge base, and then CYPHER Agent can access the information to generate a response. Examples of resources you might want to share are process manuals, product guides, sales playbooks, compliance documentation and more. Learners can then ask their question without even having to know where the answer resides–CYPHER Agent will find it and generate the interactive learning with the information. The material stays secure within CYPHER and is never added to the AI model itself. **What if learners need more detail on a topic?** The content that is generated is interactive, allowing the learner to ask the agent for more information. The Agent is persistent, that is it knows who you are and it’s aware of where you are in the response when you ask for more information. Even if you return to the response later, it will remember where you are.  **Are the answers available to the learners later?** The generated answers can be accessed by the learner again at any time. The Agent is persistent, that is it knows who you are and it’s aware of where you are in the response. **What modes does CYPHER Agent for learners support?** Currently, CYPHER Agent for learners supports two different modes: one is content generation and interaction (asking questions of the agent the content. Coming soon, we’ll offer a Tutor Me mode, where it helps you figure out what you know and don’t know and helps close the gap on what you don’t know. How is it different **How is CYPHER Agent different from other AI systems, such as ChatGPT?** CYPHER Agent has been deliberately and thoughtfully woven throughout CYPHER to integrate and support different workflows. It is already connected to your learners’ profiles and their learning history and has the following distinctions: - Produces a concept map designed to facilitate exploration and deep dives, not just a wall of text. - Answers are cross-checked by an independent AI to verify, ensure accuracy, and highlight any discrepancy. - Securely creates learning from your proprietary material, while keeping them secure within CYPHER. - Leverages several AI services to execute the individual tasks that they’re best suited to, generating superior results. - Allows for administrative guardrails to be put in place to ensure that the agent is used appropriately. - Allows administrators to monitor queries to get insight into what learners want to know so that you can build on that interest and offer more in-depth, hands-on courses. **As a business, the goal of courses is generally to teach your own IP, frameworks, and new approaches to industry challenges. How does the learner Agent fit into that framework?** CYPHER Agent for learners is not intended to replace your course catalog, but rather to augment it. CYPHER Agent for learners can be used to: - **Surface knowledge buried in internal documents**: Important information becomes easily accessible, digestable, and actionable instead of being buried in dense documents that learners may not even know how to access. For example, a new bank employee doesn’t have to find the exact point in the compliance document to know what to do with a special account set up – they can just ask. - **Get immediate information on a topic that is not currently in your catalog**: Most organizations can’t stock their catalog with all of the courses covering topics that learners need, either due to budget constraints, agility (the company has suddenly pivoted exposing a new need), or because the need is too niche to justify the investment. CYPHER Agent fills those gaps. - **Augment the learning experience**: Learners may have questions their formal learning because they have a knowledge gap, a language barrier, or they need an alternate explanation to help them understand. - **Develop and apply skills**: Learners may want more information how to close skills gaps and apply their learning in a work context. **Why is cross-checking the content important?** AI can make mistakes. It sometimes hallucinates data that isn’t there and sometimes generates faulty results. We don’t rely on a single AI model and just assume that it will always generate good results. Once the first AI has generated the content, we feed the content into a premium AI from a different vendor. If the second AI agrees with the first AI, the content is verified and the user can see the verified icon in the corner. But if there are any issues, it'll say potential inaccuracy detected and allow you to regenerate the content. This unique feature greatly reduces the chances that a learner will learn or act upon faulty results, unlike use of general-purpose AI models. More than half of people are using AI at work to get information – it is important that the information be correct. **How is a learner Agent different from an adaptive course?** Adaptive courses are made up of material that is the same for all learners. It adapts to an individual learner by showing or hiding a module based on that learner’s ability or previous knowledge. For example, a course cake baking may include modules how to grease a pan and the importance of sifting the dry ingredients before getting to the module mixing the batter. The course will show all the modules for a novice baker while hiding the modules on pan greasing and sifting for experienced bakers, but both will see the same module on mixing the batter.  A learner Agent creates content that is just for the learner. The advanced baker may get a course with a more complex recipe and get information decorating, while the novice baker will get something a little more simple. Agent AI **What is the AI that powers CYPHER Agent?** Behind the scenes, CYPHER Agent uses multiple premium AI systems, selecting the best one for each specific task. Every response is the result of many coordinated tasks. Relying on a single AI means you’re limited to its strengths—and weaknesses. With CYPHER Agent, we use a team of AIs, each contributing their specialty to produce a better overall result. This enables us to be flexible, swapping out AI systems as new and better ones become available. Think of it like assembling a world-class team: instead of picking all players from the same background, you bring together the best strategist, the fastest runner, the strongest defender—each one playing their part to win together. [Read more the foundation, security and privacy of AI](/faq/privacy-and-security) Pricing **What is the pricing model for CYPHER Agent?** Access to CYPHER Agent is included in your license, but AI processing credits are an additional cost. We are offering all accounts that enable CYPHER Agent **for learners** 10,000 complimentary credits so that you can try out the agent and see for yourself just how valuable it is. You can buy credit bundles from your Customer Service Manager. **How much does the average query cost?** We use a credit-based system so that customers are charged based on actual usage. The average query consumes a dozen credits, or the equivalent of $0.05-0.15 USD. Given how valuable time, personalization and accuracy is this is very reasonable. **Why does CYPHER Agent use a credit-based pricing model and is not just included in the subscription?** AI processing is resource-intensive so to ensure that our customers are paying only for what they use, we have adopted a credit-based system, which is the industry norm. When an AI request is made to the Agent, the credits used are calculated and deducted from the credit pool that the customer has purchased. Credits are available in a variety of bundle sizes to suit your needs and the per-credit price drops with an increase in the bundle size. The value of the credits is realized in the time saved in course creation, catalog costs, increased productivity of users, and the risk-reduction of using a verified AI information source. **How does credit consumption work for learner use of CYPHER Agent?** Learner use of CYPHER Agent draws from the same credit pool used by administrators. Administrators can set a **per-learner quota**, putting a cap on how many credits a learner can use. Right now learners are allocated **10,000 credits by default**. You can adjust that for all learners or allocate more or fewer by named user. Future state **Can the AI Agent help learners do other things in CYPHER LMS, such as finding or referencing existing courses, documents, videos, etc.?** CYPHER Agent for learners and for course creators will inform its content using documents and files that administrators have added to the Agent knowledge base. Content created for learners will include an information icon (an ‘i’) that links to the file so that the learner can click to access the original content. **Does CYPHER Agent rely solely on textual content or can it process and use video and presentation materials to generate accurate responses?** CYPHER Agent doesn't only rely on textual content. It can use documents, PowerPoint decks, videos, and PDFs to generate responses. **How will the relationship between the learning Agent and courses work? Will it showcase info they haven't learned yet?** As we support ingesting course content in the near future, the plan is to enable you to redirect learners back to the course for the knowledge, which would allow you to control this. **Future state of CYPHER Agent** We've got tons of abilities coming in various states of prototypes, all fully integrated into learning workflows and serving different personas, such as managers, instructors, and more. **What other functionality do you have planned for the learner Agent?** Our general strategy is to provide a very rich set of tightly integrated Agent capabilities that allow learners to develop skills, develop their career, assess themselves, learn in the moment, and learn courses. Coming soon, the Agent will recommend courses in the catalog that align to the question and reference content that’s hosted on the site. **How will CYPHER Agent help with skills management?** Learners are able to develop skills that align to their role or desired roles. If a learner wants to develop one of those skills without taking an entire course, they can select one of their skills and choose the option “Learn using AI,” which will launch the learner Agent and track that activity as part of your skill development progress. **Will the learner Agent integrate with courses in the future?** One of the ways that the learner Agent can integrate with courses is with course skills. If you have mapped skills to your course content, learners can access the learner Agent to learn more a particular skill from within a course. For example, if a learner is taking a course on Statistics for Business and is acquiring most of the skills with ease but is stuck on Linear Regression, they can click on the Linear Regression skill and access the Agent to get more learning on that topic. The learner Agent is augmenting the learning in the course, helping the learner master the material from within the course itself. We have other functionality planned for future releases, stay tuned for updates.  Data privacy **Who owns the content that is generated by the AI?** Our customers own the content that is generated by the Agent, whether it’s the learner Agent or the course creator Agent. We use premium models that are legally bound to not share your data – the queries, reference documents, and so on – so everything is completely private, with no issues, and proprietary to you. In addition, CYPHER is also not training the Agent on your behavior or data. [Read more the foundation, security and privacy of AI](/faq/privacy-and-security) **Will the information I upload to the CYPHER Agent knowledge base be shared outside of my organization?** No proprietary data uploaded to CYPHER Agent is used to train or improve AI models outside of your platform. --- ## Global Chamber®️ Education meet-up - AI and the future of education **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/webinars/global-chamber-ai-and-the-future-of-education **Last Modified:** 2025-06-12 [] Webinar CYPHER Learning Nov 7, 2023 # Global Chamber®️ Global education meet-up on AI and the future of education Join us as we revisit the exciting Global Chamber meet-up, featuring CYPHER Learning as a key participant.

The study found that while AI is reshaping job roles in a positive way to remove repetitive tasks, workplace digital divides between ages, gender and seniority are deepening. CYPHER Learning surveyed 4,543 workers aged 18 and above, from a cross-section of industries across the US, UK and Mexico, and found: - **Reshaping of roles**: 63% of workers say the introduction of AI technologies has already impacted the skills required to perform their role, while over half (**52%**) believe it will either ‘totally transform’ or have a ‘major impact’ on their role within two years. Consequently, **38%** expect they will need to retrain as their jobs will become obsolete and almost half (**45%**) are concerned their future job security. - **Cautious optimism**: Despite the upheaval, many workers felt positive the changes. **67%** of workers view AI as a ‘friend’ rather than a foe. Moreover,**41%** of workers use GenAI for their work, with **46%** saying that AI as a whole is making their jobs easier, and **43%** noting that it's taking away boring administrative tasks so they can focus on more high-value work. - **AI digital divides**: Yet not all workers are equally benefiting from AI. Younger workers, men, and senior management are more likely to use AI at work and enjoy experimenting with AI, compared to women, over 55, and manual or clerical workers. Similarly, fewer women, older workers and manual or clerical workers felt technology is changing their roles for the better. - **Lack of guidance**: Workers also felt clearer guidance is needed around use of AI in the workplace, with **69%** feeling clear AI policies are still needed – while one in three (**33%**) think the use of AI in the workplace should be banned entirely. Interestingly, one in four (**25%**) workers admit to using AI without their boss’s knowledge. “Each technological leap – such as we are currently experiencing with AI – does change the workplace,” explains Graham Glass, Founder and CEO, CYPHER Learning. “Trade-offs have had to be made throughout history as jobs and roles shift. But over the long term these changes generally prove to be for the better.” Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer and Principal HCM Analyst at Brandon Hall Group adds: "Artificial intelligence is not just automation—it's augmentation. Brandon Hall Group research underscores AI’s ability to enhance the workforce by freeing employees from mundane tasks and empowering them to focus on more strategic, creative endeavors. The true value of AI lies in its ability to enrich the employee experience and provide actionable insights that elevate organizational performance. CYPHER Learning’s report highlights a key issue: all employees should have the opportunity to benefit from training and support to maximize AI’s value in the workforce.” With the influence of AI on the workforce expected to grow in the coming years, 73% of workers believe AI skills will be important to their role within five years – with 45% believing such skills will be ‘essential’ or ‘very important’. However, only 25% have had training in this area. Again, workforce divides were apparent: - Only 11% of workers over 55 have had AI training, compared to 30% of those aged 18 to 44. - More men than women report exposure to AI training – 36% compared to 18%. - Senior management have had more training than anyone else – 58%, compared to 11% of clerical or manual workers. The survey also revealed frustrations and concerns around how technology training is delivered at present. Nearly half of workers (48%) worry their company's future due to a lack of leadership investment in new technology skills. Moreover, 46% of workers said they find it impossible to keep up with the tech and digital skills required for their roles, and 53% say their tech training quickly becomes outdated. “As AI increasingly permeates the workplace, fostering a culture of continuous learning through training and education will be essential to boost worker confidence,” Glass concludes. “Some workers may feel overwhelmed by technology when training is not delivered in a way that is relevant to them and their role. For example, helping people understand the purpose of AI, and how to assess and validate outputs, will be more useful to some workers than extensive training in prompt engineering. When training is delivered in ways applicable to each individual and their role, at the right time in the right context, it’s more likely to help them progress.”  Findings are detailed in the new CYPHER Learning report: [Bridging the AI digital divide](/resources/research/business/survey-report-bridging-the-ai-digital-divide) ## CYPHER Learning CYPHER Learning exists to give learners the power to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

One of the most critical features is the ability to create personalized learning paths.  This functionality allows instructors to tailor the learning experience to individual learners’ needs, abilities, and learning styles, promoting more effective learning outcomes. Personalized learning paths can be achieved through adaptive assessments, learning analytics, and customized course content, enhancing engagement and motivation. In addition to personalized learning paths, other key features of an LMS include: - **Course creation and management tools:**Efficient tools for designing, organizing, and managing courses. - **Tracking and reporting capabilities:**Advanced analytics to track learner progress and performance. - **Collaborative tools and discussion forums:**Features that facilitate interaction and collaboration among learners. - **Mobile accessibility and responsiveness:** Ensuring the platform is accessible on various devices. - **Integration with third-party tools and platforms:**Seamless integration with other software and tools. - **Compliance training and certification management:**Tools to manage and track compliance training requirements. - **Gamification and engagement features:**Elements like badges, points, and leaderboards to motivate learners. By selecting an LMS that offers the right combination of these features, you can create a more effective and engaging learning environment that supports the success of your learners. ## Considerations when choosing an LMS for education As you shop the market for an LMS that will help you scale and grow your educational learning goals, keep in mind these best practices to help find the best option for you.  ### 1. Identify your needs for personalized learning paths The first step is identifying your needs. Are you looking for education, or corporate training? These are two different use cases that, while similar, will ultimately call for two different sets of features. You’ll need to find an LMS that applies.  ### 2. Evaluate out-of-the-box features and security Integrations, scalability, support — there are multiple important features that a good LMS should have. Take a look at each one in turn, making sure these cornerstone features are up to your institutional requirements. Don’t forget to check on security. As student data privacy and compliance becomes more rigorous, you should pursue [LMS options for education](https://www.cypherlearning.com/solutions/k-12-lms) that can keep up with the pace of new expectations, guidelines, and regulations.  ### 3. Test usability and simplicity Take full advantage of free trials or demos to become familiar with how a platform will work cross-team and throughout various departments. This is the best way to get the full picture, giving you an idea of [what an LMS is](/what-is-an-lms) truly like and how it works in practice.  If possible, include students or actual learners in this testing process. After all, they’ll likely be the ones collaborating with instructors on using the platform for their own growth and development. ## Know your Moodle alternatives Moodle has earned its place as a solid option for schools and institutions, but it’s not the only choice for K-12 and higher ed.  To know which route to take, start by defining your unique training goals and priorities—whether it’s ease of use, advanced customization, or seamless integrations.

With up to one-third of companies [investing in either in-classroom or hybrid learning](https://research.com/careers/training-industry-statistics#:~:text=36%25%20of%20large%20companies%20use,and%20large%20companies%20(4%25).), **now is the prime time to prioritize employee upskilling**. In this post, we'll explore some of the reasons why corporations should value learning and development for teams, managers, and new hires. ## What is an L&D tool? A learning and development tool is any platform, application, or curriculum that helps learners build new skills or acquire new knowledge. Although traditional “tools” are more likely related to in-person curriculum delivery, digitalization means that L&D options are online, making them more flexible and convenient than classroom training methods. For example, [online learning platforms like CYPHER](/platform) provide corporate courses on a variety of topics, allowing learners to access instructional material from anywhere in the world. ### Where can you implement L&D tools? Knowledge-sharing tools are useful in almost any context, but they’re instrumental for any organization that wants to help employees reach the following goals: - Gain new skills for career or educational advancement. - Pursue modern training, development, and [upskilling in a business context](/blog/business/learning-and-development-trends-2023). - Increase opportunities for hybrid learning, personalized experiences, or class creation in an academic or educational context. Additionally, these tools are essential for course creators who want to design innovative content experiences, track learner progress, and measure competencies more accurately. With new technology and AI-powered features, L&D leaders can even use these platforms to create fully functional virtual classrooms, administer compliance or regulatory assessments, and provide peer or instructor feedback. ## The CYPHER difference When selecting the right learning and development platform, choose a solution that includes the most important features based on specific use cases and success metrics. For example, CYPHER’s out-of-the-box features offer an exceptional, simplified user experience in the worlds of both business and [academia](/academia). CYPHER’s ability to identify and measure return on investment (ROI) is one of its most valuable features. In fact, it’s why [eLearning Industry has recognized CYPHER](https://elearningindustry.com/top-lms-tools-measure-roi-for-training) as a top 2023 platform for measuring ROI and delivering benefits for learners. ## Importance of learning and development in the workplace Before creating successful learning and development modules, L&D leaders first have to understand employee expectations. That’s because motivation and desire for learning opportunities have never been higher, with up to [57% of employees seeking personal and professional development](https://www.gethownow.com/blog/23-statistics-every-hr-and-learning-and-development-pro-should-know-for-2023) through workplace training opportunities. In response to what employees actually want from the world of work, the benefits of learning and development systems are numerous. Below are just a few advantages of integrated training courses. ### Employee engagement With development tools in place, there’s a direct, documented impact on employee engagement within a team. The level of support and education that team members receive directly impacts personal motivation, sense of community support, and positive growth. Having a highly engaged workforce matters—not simply for sales and revenue but also for the attitudes and experiences of employees as they interact with customers and external parties. And when up to [80% of employees report that learning opportunities](https://www.thomas.co/resources/type/hr-blog/driving-employee-engagement-through-training-and-development) drive their internal sense of personal engagement, astute employers have to pay attention. ### Employee retention In the midst of [cultural workforce shifts like the Great Resignation](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/orations and businesses are responsible for protecting worker retention rates. Undoubtedly, staff members tend to stay longer when there are relevant, on-the-job opportunities to close skill gaps or build upon existing knowledge. This rule of thumb also applies to new hires and recruits. When reliable onboarding information is available, new employees have the tools, resources, and skills they need to protect their own job performance. In some workplace studies, 50% of hourly new hires quit or are fired in the first six months, and [40-60% of management new hires fail within 18 months](https://www.emissary.ai/blog/new-hires#:~:text=Dr.,hires%20fail%20within%2018%20months.). It’s no secret—better learning and development opportunities prevent these poor outcomes and help employees find footing in one company. ### Immersive experiences When it comes to learning and development, unique experiences make on-the-job training more accessible. This is particularly helpful in corporate environments where hard skills, like coding or web development, are essential to employee and corporate success. Immersive training is also pivotal in hands-on contexts, such as medical care, where physical practice needs to be mixed with curriculum-based training material. In other contexts, personal training experiences designed around soft skills might be more predictive of long-term job success. The [human connection between learners and instructors](/tour/human-connection) is one of the most influential predictors of mutual trust and engagement. ### Positive cultural shifts A culture of continuous improvement reshapes the way people perceive their environment. When everyone participates in training based on their starting point, growth becomes cross-departmental and accessible to everyone. The following positive changes happen when learning and development is comprehensive throughout the organization. - **Skill enhancement:** New learning programs help employees acquire new skills and knowledge, making them more competent in their roles. The result is more confidence and optimism a job well done. Increased competence also leads to greater job satisfaction and accomplishment, positively influencing team dynamics. - **Adaptability:** As employees learn and develop, they’re more flexible and open to change. Staying agile is crucial in a business environment and market that’s often unpredictable. When a culture embraces change, employees are more resilient. - **Inclusivity:** [Inclusive learning and development programs](/solutions/diversity-and-inclusion-training) also cater to the diverse needs and backgrounds of individual employees. This inclusivity sends a powerful message the organization's commitment to equality, fostering a more welcoming work environment. - **Open communication:** Dynamic training programs encourage open communication and thoughtful collaboration. Employees have opportunities to discuss, share new ideas, and brainstorm to solve problems. Cultures of transparency often place higher value on new, inventive contributions and ideas. ## Identifying potential problems in your current learning and development process Identifying problems in your current learning and development process is critical. Regularly evaluating frustrations or employee roadblocks helps leaders finetune the process, ensuring a more effective and adaptive learning strategy that benefits individuals and the company. There are three major problems that organizations often face when trying to accelerate the development or training experience: lack of a suitable LMS, half-hearted diversity initiatives, and missing KPIs metrics. ### Lack of Learning Management System (LMS) One of the most pressing challenges that organizations face when creating an effective training program is not having a modern, adaptable Learning Management Solution (LMS) in place. Without an LMS, there’s no centralization and no process for sharing valuable data, information, or in-depth curriculum. This lack of centralization can cause issues for HR professionals, training leaders, and executives who have to answer to stakeholders results. Plus, this problem leads to wasted time, resources, and productivity. Companies need learning management systems that align with corporate values, budgetary restrictions, and employee goals. Modern LMS options should also provide the highest level of tech advancement and features, including intuitive [AI-powered course design](/cypher-copilot) and instructional materials. ### Missing diversity and inclusivity As a general rule, development and training programs need to accommodate many types of learners, employees, and other important individuals within the organization. Lack of diversity is a top concern within today’s public spaces, with some learners feeling like there’s no room for growth. Many common barriers to diversity in the workplace are unconscious, according to [Diversity in Tech](https://www.diversityintech.co.uk/barriers-to-workplace-inclusion-and-diversity). Examples might include stereotyping an employee based on their demographic or schooling, or awarding promotions to certain individuals more than others. This means that while outright discrimination is not the biggest issue in learning programs, failure to acknowledge shortcomings leads to mental, social, and emotional stress. Modern Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives can mitigate some of these workplace issues by educating employees on real-life ways in which intrinsic bias shows up. Modern LMS platforms often provide customization options for each user, using interactive [learning modules](/tour/skills-development) that are personalized to specific needs or learning outcomes. These tools help organizations create inclusive and diverse cultures, beginning from the first onboarding or training experience. Features like language translation capabilities and interactive or collaborative lessons make it easier to reach across the table and truly understand colleagues who come from different backgrounds, cultures, or walks of life. ### Lack of measurable training results Regardless of what type of training program an organization implements, ROI and value must be clear. Without plans in place to evaluate, how can course designers and L&D leaders truly understand what’s working? This is another disadvantage of not having a suitable LMS; the inability to obtain measurable results becomes a major block when companies want to give employees specific goals to obtain or milestones to reach within a certain time. With an [LMS like CYPHER](/solutions/employee-training), companies can unlock access to good data such as: - Individual employee performance throughout modules. - Completion rates. - Trackable feedback (between designers, instructors, and students). These features make it easier for organizations to use their training programs as unique differentiators, with more potential to stand out in a crowded corporate market. It also allows companies to ensure they’re investing in the right tools that bring measurable positive impacts. ## How artificial intelligence reinvents traditional L&D There’s perhaps no greater transformation in the world of learning and development than the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). New learning outcomes are made possible through the delivery of [personalized, efficient, and engaging training experiences](/tour/content-development-and-delivery). AI-powered chatbots can often provide immediate user support, enhancing engagement and encouraging deeper levels of motivation. Additionally, AI can be used for data-driven decision-making so institutions can accurately analyze data to allocate resources more effectively and improve the quality of content. Content creation tools like [CYPHER Agent](/cypher-copilot) also automate the creation and development of interactive learning materials, which saves time and resources on manual processes. Perhaps most importantly, CYPHER puts control in the hands of the user. Simply upload your own materials, and control which content AI pulls information from. This crucial distinction puts the power of generative AI into the creator’s hands in a more controlled, predictable learning environment. Despite rapid changes in the AI landscape, the primary point remains—**AI technology must empower human connection, not eliminate it.** Without personalized data and interactions, AI integration can feel disjointed and robotic, which is the opposite goal of most healthy training and development initiatives. ## Sharpen your training with CYPHER The world of work must rise to new economic concerns, employee expectations, and corporate stretch goals. But regardless of what happens externally, companies have a responsibility to look internally at learning and development tools that deliver results. That’s where CYPHER Learning comes into play. As one [mid-market leader shares](https://www.g2.com/products/cypher-learning-cypher-learning/reviews): “I genuinely like the ease of access with which both instructors and students can navigate courses on CYPHER. I have used other learning management systems before and they tend to be all over the place and overall just clunky. With CYPHER, I can better direct the flow of attention and everything is visible practically from the start screen. Generating a downloadable version of the gradebook easily saves me hours of work.“ Let’s make these results possible on your team and throughout your business. **[Schedule a free demo now](/-sales/schedule-a-demo) to see our award-winning platform in action!** Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [Business blog](/blog/business) [L&D leaders](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/tag/ld-leaders) --- ## LMS Best practice: Wilcon Depot nailed it!: 7,200 hours saved a year **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/best-practices/wilcon-depot **Last Modified:** 2025-06-24 [Best practices](https://www.cypherlearning.com/best-practices) / Wilcon Depot, Inc. # Nailed it! 7,200 hrs saved a year Building personalized learning solutions while reducing costs and saving time 50% reduced onboarding time 7,200 staff-hours saved a year (600/mo) >85% improved engagement rates 50% reduction in L&D costs Wilcon Depot, the Philippines’ leading improvement and construction supplies retailer, carries the most extensive product selection of trusted local and international brands with high-grade features and superior quality, including Tiles, Sanitaryware, Plumbing, Furniture, Interior, Building Materials, Hardware, Electrical, Appliances, and other DIY items.

Jerome David, Learning and Development Specialist INDUSTRY Retail COMPANY SIZE Large enterprise HEADQUARTERS Phillippines SERVICES improvement and construction supplies Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Features](#sub_section_1) [Implementation](#sub_section_2) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! ## The challenge - Needed to scale with the company’s growing workforce - Learners needed engaging and interactive learning modules Before implementing CYPHER, scaling our Learning and Development training programs across multiple branches and regions in the Philippines was a major challenge. Now with **100 stores nationwide and a growing workforce, conducting consistent, high-quality training sessions was difficult to manage**. Traditional training methods, such as in-person sessions, were time-consuming, resource-heavy, and logistically demanding. "In terms of engagement, our previous training methods lacked interactivity and flexibility, resulting in low employee learning engagement. Learners often struggle to balance their training requirements with their day-to-day responsibilities at the Wilcon stores, leading to incomplete courses or lower retention rates." Jerome David, Learning and Development Specialist ## The solution - Introduced interactive learning to improve engagement rates - Flexible learning paths for personalized development - Intuitive course design for continuous content updates Now, CYPHER provides a centralized LMS that allows us to deliver training modules to newly hired and regular employees across all locations simultaneously. The platform’s scalability ensured every employee received uniform training regardless of their work location and work position, enabling us to expand our learning reach efficiently. The convenience of having everything in one place has greatly enhanced the organization and accessibility of our training resources. An ongoing project under Management Development Program utilizes the CYPHER LMS in organizing the programs for Key Talent Pool (KTAP) Career Paths. The platform will serve as the hub for all the required programs to be completed by the employee. There are also catalogs for monthly Learning Series, Wilcon Onboarding courses and other HR-L&D Programs. ### Features With CYPHER, we introduced interactive and multimedia-based learning content that significantly improved learner engagement. The platform’s mobile-friendly design allowed employees to complete courses at their own pace, **boosting engagement and completion rates**. Gamification features and progress tracking also encouraged learners to stay motivated throughout the training process. Gamification is new to our personnel, and they have something to look forward to in finishing each training module, task, or activity.  The personalized learning feature has also had a significant impact. CYPHER allows learners to **progress at their own pace**, focusing on areas where they need improvement. This adaptability has been crucial in catering to different learning styles and preferences. For example, while there are mandatory courses that build foundational knowledge, learners also have the opportunity to take voluntary courses to deepen their expertise. This flexibility in learning paths has empowered our employees to take control of their development, ensuring they grow at their own pace and according to their specific needs.  In terms of engagement and interactivity, the CYPHER platform has offered a variety of interactive features, such as quizzes, discussions, and multimedia content. These tools not only enhance learner engagement but also encourage **active participation** and a **deeper understanding of the material**. The inclusion of these interactive elements makes the learning experience more dynamic and enjoyable, leading to better retention and application of knowledge. ### Implementation CYPHER Learning has allowed us to create, customize, and assign specific training modules tailored to the unique needs of different teams and roles. The platform’s **intuitive design made it easy for our L&D team to continuously update and improve** our learning materials, especially when we implemented CYPHER Agent which helped fast-track our content and module development. A core part of achieving their organizational goals is investing in the growth and development of their employees, or "Wilconians." Wilcon recognizes that learning, training, and education are essential to equipping its workforce with the necessary skills to meet customer needs and drive the company forward. To support this, the Wilcon Depot, Inc. Learning Management System (LMS) is a centralized platform for employees to access various training courses, resources, and tools to enhance their skills, knowledge, and overall performance. Through the LMS, Wilcon ensures that its **team members stay updated with the latest industry trends, improve their product knowledge, and refine their leadership and customer service abilities**. This investment in training is directly aligned with the company’s mission to deliver exceptional service and high-quality products. By empowering employees with continuous learning opportunities, Wilcon strengthens its workforce, enabling them to contribute effectively to the company's growth and to meet customer expectations consistently. ## The results - 50% reduction in onboarding time and training costs - Increases in learner engagement and course completion rates - Improved performance through employee training programs Overall, adopting the CYPHER platform has transformed our learning and training processes, improving accessibility, engagement, and outcomes. The centralization of materials, flexibility in learning, personalized paths, interactivity, and cost savings have all contributed to a more effective and sustainable training environment. Before CYPHER Learning, onboarding and training new hires across branches typically took 1 day to 14 days before their first training orientation and training session scheduled online via Zoom, requiring our L&D Personnel and trainers to dedicate significant time to monitor and run the onboarding. After implementing CYPHER, with online onboarding modules, **we reduced onboarding time by 50%**, completing most training in 3–5 days. This allowed our trainers and store-inline trainers to focus on operational priorities, **saving approximately 600 man-hours per month** across all Wilcon branches. With our previous LMS platform, training session attendance rates were approximately 50%, with low engagement due to scheduling conflicts and less interactive materials. With CYPHER offering on-demand access to product, technical, and soft skills training modules, **engagement rates have increased to 85–90%**. Employees now complete courses at their convenience, and interactive content has led to a **40% improvement in course completion rates**. Before CYPHER Learning, face-to-face training required an average annual budget of $2 million PHP for logistics, venues, materials, transportation, accommodation, and trainers. Since then, the shift to digital learning **reduced annual training costs by 50%**, saving approximately **$1 million PHP (Approximately $17,000 USD)**, which we have been able to use for other training needs. With performance improvement, employees who completed customer service training through CYPHER Learning showed a **15% increase in positive customer feedback ratings**. Sales personnel who completed product training through the platform demonstrated a **20% improvement in product knowledge and upselling skills**. With scalability and reach, before CYPHER Learning, training was conducted in batches, with only 50–200 employees trained per training session monthly. With CYPHER, the platform supports **4,600+ employees simultaneously**, allowing the entire workforce to access training in real-time. This has enabled us to train **23 times more employees per month** than before.

But agile has recently gained popularity as a buzzword in modern workplaces. An [agile methodology](https://asana.com/resources/agile-methodology) refers to project management that’s broken down into smaller phases, most often called *sprints*. Small businesses and large corporations alike can implement agile methodologies to develop high-performing teams and employees. Workplace agility also focuses on continuous improvement. This mindset equips teams with flexibility, adaptability, and critical thinking through collaboration. Teaching employees to develop a more agile mindset also improves individual output and productivity, thus increasing the impact on company culture and the success of the business as a whole. ## Why cultivate an agile mindset in the workplace? Employees who adapt to an agile mindset are more likely to think quickly, freely, and creatively. These are vital skills that can help team members handle new workplace challenges, roadblocks, and impediments. **An agile mindset focuses on growth, visualizing what is possible versus seeing problems as irreversible or immovable.** Overcoming problems quickly is essential for any business that aims to achieve growth and success. Cultivating an agile mindset in the workplace not only builds more resilient, dynamic, and productive teams, but it also improves the value that customers can gain, too. That’s because agility often equates to more consistent delivery of products and services that benefit end users. ## Agile principles in the workplace When discussing agility in the workplace, the three main values or principles to focus on include: - **Iteration:** Never stop trying or discovering. In an agile framework, there are always new opportunities for improvement. Teaching teams and employees to continually pitch new ideas and solutions is key to having an agile mindset. - **Collaboration:**Being flexible and able to work collaboratively with others is another critical component of workplace agility. The success of any project requires multiple people and departments pulling together. Genuine collaboration allows for more dynamic and agile teams that work seamlessly with one another to accomplish a common goal. - **Change:** Of course, thinking on your feet is necessary for business resilience. As the old adage goes: “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Cultivate an agile mindset to help employees pivot quickly and move forward during a project, regardless of what happens on the path to completion. ## 4 tips for creating more agile teams and employees If we’ve learned anything from the past few years, agility is necessary when any business is facing a crisis. Small businesses and start-ups especially can benefit from building more agile teams, as they often have more to lose if things don’t work out. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many [new businesses](https://onlinedegrees.unr.edu/blog/new-business-start-ups-in-2020-the-example-of-switzerland-and-the-united-states/) managed to stay afloat, and it was likely due to having an agile mindset in the face of uncertainty. Even well-established companies can benefit from adopting agile methodologies into their workflow practices. It’s never too late to retrain employees and teams, and there are many ways to approach the learning and development process. Keeping the values and principles above in mind, use these tips and methods when training your teams and employees to be more agile: ### 1. Focus on listening Being able to think fast necessitates good listening skills and situational awareness. Finding answers and solutions (or simply having healthy communication habits), requires solid listening skills. Believe it or not, teaching employees to become better listeners can help them embrace agility in their approach to work. The three levels of teaching listening skills are: - **Listening to speak:**Before we speak, we must first listen so we can have something valuable to add to the conversation. - **Listening to hear:**Another key element to developing good listening skills is active listening. Listen to actually hear what people are saying instead of listening to respond. - **Listening to understand:**The final and hardest level is listening to understand. This level involves genuinely taking and absorbing information in order to fully understand what someone else is saying, or to grasp what they truly mean. ### 2. Encourage empathy and teamwork Collaboration is another essential part of building agile teams. The best way to get your employees to work together seamlessly is to encourage empathy. Being able to understand one another—and spot how key differences actually help us grow—is a crucial part of successful, agile teamwork. Another way to improve collaboration is to build a [Scrum team structure](https://www.lucidchart.com/blog/how-to-build-a-scrum-team-structure). The Scrum structure is commonly used to develop agile teams. Scrum is a project management framework that facilitates the “agile mindset and allows teams to work together to develop projects.” It provides flexible guidelines for teams to follow as they work together and encourages collaboration. ### 3. Adopt modern agile methodologies Many [agile methodologies](https://www.xpand-it.com/blog/top-5-agile-methodologies/) already exist. These techniques have a proven track record when it comes to creating more agile, modern work teams. When training new and existing employees, consider these methodologies and adopt whichever works best for your business model. Beyond the Scrum method, the other four existing agile methodologies, including Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean Development, and Crystal. #### Kanban The Kanban method uses a board divided into columns that show the flow of production. As things develop, information on the board changes and new tasks come into play. According to Atlassian, a leading software provider in the agile space, a Kanban board is: “An agile project management tool designed to help visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow). It can help both [agile](https://www.atlassian.com/agile) and [DevOps](https://www.atlassian.com/devops/what-is-devops) teams establish order in their daily work. Kanban boards use cards, columns, and continuous improvement to help technology and service teams commit to the right amount of work, and get it done!” A Kanban board can be as simple or as complex as a team needs it to be. In general, most boards contain a backlog (incomplete work), work in progress (WIP), and an output section to showcase completed projects. Many types of teams can benefit from a visual Kanban system, including Product, Marketing, and Engineering. #### Extreme Programming (XP) The XP methodology is more specific and niche, although it can be adapted based on your company's project and programming needs. The XP model emphasizes simplicity, respect, courage, communication, and feedback. Agile Alliance puts it like this: “Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development framework that aims to produce higher quality software and higher quality of life for the development team. XP is the most specific of the agile frameworks regarding appropriate engineering practices for software development.” XP is often beneficial in scenarios where the software environment is changing frequently or contains inherent risks based on timing and technology. In terms of agility, XP most often excels for small groups or development teams with a lower number of individual contributors. #### Lean Development The [Lean Software Development (LSD) method](https://www.productplan.com/glossary/lean-software-development/) was first created by Toyota. It provides a conceptual framework that highlights principles, values, and good development practices. In the lean framework, teams prioritize the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) strategy. This means that the group should collectively maximize resources, reduce waste, spend wisely, and optimize development timelines appropriately. As a methodology, Lean is best suited for teams that want to streamline their development processes. Success depends on having a well-defined process and documentation to back it up, so be prepared to make those organizational changes prior to implementing a Lean strategy. #### Crystal The Crystal method is actually a series or family of agile methodologies. It focuses on communication, talent, skills, and people. Many agile leaders [distinguish Crystal from other agile frameworks](https://monday.com/blog/project-management/agile-crystal/), since it prioritizes personal engagement instead of written processes or procedures. Thanks to its speedy delivery timeframes, the Crystal methodology has been picking up steam among agile communities. While it’s best for teams that want short-term projects delivered in quick succession, it can be adapted to larger teams and longer timelines based on need. Crystal also prioritizes a team’s ability to have [access to subject matter experts](https://fourweekmba.com/crystal-agile-framework/) and users, whenever those needs arise. The technical environment is designed to accelerate delivery and use reflective improvement as grounds for future work. ### 4. Foster a growth mindset Maintaining an effective agile framework relies on the ability to keep all possibilities open for discussion. From the top leaders downwards, this means embracing a culture of positive change and growth. Adopting a growth mindset in the workplace might look like: - Recognizing and rewarding team and personal effort. - Learning from past challenges and failures. - Creating a safe space for experimentation and calculated risk-taking. - Exploring and welcoming new ideas for long-range improvements. - Honoring collaboration and team unity to achieve a shared vision. Remember—agile methodologies are often associated with “high performing” teams. It’s unlikely that those teams reach the heights they do when restricted by backwards thinking, a scarcity mindset, or limited growth potential. Accepting, sharing, and teaching new ideas is essential for any agile workplace. ## Implementing an agile mindset with your LMS If your company, department, or team is already leveraging an agile method like the ones above, you might be curious how to incorporate this framework into your learning and development goals. To accomplish more agile processes into corporate training programs, start with a [modern learning management system (LMS)](/blog/business/10-most-popular-talentlms-alternatives-and-competitors-2024) like CYPHER. With CYPHER’s emphasis on collaborative and transformational learning pathways, you’ll be able to capitalize on the following features and benefits: - **Company-wide upskilling** – Learning drives change, and in order to make more impactful changes, such as introducing an agile workflow, agile leaders must get key players on the same page with adequate training. CYPHER’s [competency-based learning approach](/solutions/competency-based-learning) ensures everyone on the team has actional skills for growth. - **Enterprise integrations**– In addition to quicker workflow processes, companies must have the ability to integrate learning with other channels. With help from [CYPHER’s integrations](/tour/integrations), you’ll be able to easily connect other enterprise tools and platforms with your all-in-one learning solution. These connections make it easier for teams to stay flexible and stay informed at every step of the process. - **Product training** – In addition to a human-centric approach to learning and development, [CYPHER also empowers product leaders](/solutions/product-training) with the ability to quickly create product training in response to product updates. With CYPHER Agent, you can create entire, competency-based and gamified courses in just minutes.

It also means that these skills inevitably carry over to the customer experience, promoting better business down the line. ## Bringing it all together The next steps in your agile methodology journey are up to you. In fact, you can readily adopt existing agile methodologies (like Kanban or XP) for project development, or you can simply focus on the three fundamental principles (iteration, collaboration, and change) while teaching your employees to collaborate more effectively. Start with simple communication. Introduce your staff to agile principles, ramp up to full agile adoption, and regularly evaluate the impact this mindset has on your delivery and workflow. The ultimate goal? Developing more resilient and productive teams that have the potential to improve value for your customers. Let’s start learning—together.

In order to sell your online course to as many people as possible you need to **collect email addresses** and nurture your email list. The best way to get more email subscribers and **build a relationship** with them is through lead magnets. A lead magnet is a valuable incentive offered to potential buyers in exchange for their email address or other information. Lead magnets come in various shapes and sizes; here are some examples: 1. ### White papers These take an intricate subject and present it in a nutshell. They are meant to help readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision. 2. ### E-books These can address broader issues and do so in a more entertaining way. They need to be authoritative but also accessible to a large audience. 3. ### Webinars These are great for connecting with prospective leads and customers and interacting with your audience. They bring a personal touch to your course. 4. ### Infographics These give a concise view of an otherwise broad situation, all the while wrapped in really nice graphics. Great infographics make an impact and are easily remembered. 5. ### Checklists These condense everything that the user needs to know into one, actionable list. It's really easy to create one and users love them. 6. ### Quizzes These are highly interactive and engaging and most of all, easy to create. There are online tools that cost very little or nothing at all that can help you build a good quiz or survey. 7. ### Coupons These work really well because most people who make online purchases like to shop around for deals. A small discount to your course can be a sweet deal. 8. ### Videos These are engaging and immersive. People always prefer watching educational videos to reading too many pages. Plus, almost all marketers include videos in their strategies. 9. ### Case studies These could give prospects at the bottom of your marketing funnel that one last push they need to buy your course, thanks to the built-in social proof. 10. ### Toolkits These combine multiple resources into one, to create even more value. A toolkit might include a whitepaper or e-book, a video and also a template the user could adapt later on. **Resources** - [https://www.crazyegg.com/blog/lead-magnet/](https://www.crazyegg.com/blog/lead-magnet/) - [https://www.jeffbullas.com/lead-magnet-ideas/](https://www.jeffbullas.com/lead-magnet-ideas/) - [https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/creating-lead-generation-offers-from-blogs](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/creating-lead-generation-offers-from-blogs) Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs. [All infographics](/resources?type=infographic) [Next infographic](/resources/infographics/business/ways-your-lms-launch-could-go-off-without-a-hitch) --- ## Infographic: Online learning facilitates the 4Cs » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/academia/how-online-learning-facilitates-the-4cs-of-education **Last Modified:** 2025-01-27 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For academia # How online learning facilitates the 4Cs Lauded as the 21st century’s “critical skills”, **communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration** have become buzzwords among educators. **The 4Cs** have also been mooted as essential skills of the **future workforce** — not everyone is destined to be an academic giant after all — and the skills required by the average individual in the course of providing for themselves, their families, and society as a whole are also being increasingly identified with the 4Cs. **Here is how online learning can facilitate the 4Cs of education.** 1. ### Communication An online learning environment requires students to **communicate effectively and clearly**. They are more responsible for clarifying the expectations a course has of them. The interactivity of online systems means that communication can be more fluid, flexible and swift. Communicating clearly online is a necessary critical skill especially with regard to technology, as we move into an AI driven environment. **Clear data and clear instruction** via technological platforms is increasingly essential. 2. ### Critical Thinking Exploring **ways to stimulate critical thinking**, specifically in an online environment, is valuable. Teachers can actively require students to adopt a viewpoint different from their original thesis in order to teach them the function of bias in how they think the world. Discussion, and the requirement to motivate one’s conclusions within a debate, is another important factor essential to promoting critical thinking. Online forums and discussions need to be carefully moderated by educators with an eye to keeping online discussions flowing, yet still demanding rigorous motivation and explanation from participants. 3. ### Creativity Creativity, from a pure learning perspective, is essentially **the ability to explore and investigate new knowledge**, combined with the ability to then apply this in new or different contexts. The internet is a wide, rich and rambling space, enabling extraordinary exploration of ideas. It is also a hotbed of mimicry, imitation and originality of thought are hard to come by. Pushing your students to achieve the true intellectual creativity described requires a firm hand by teachers when designing lesson plans and expectations. Focus not only what your students can find out, but mine for how they can apply that knowledge to solve old problems with new solutions. 4. ### Collaboration Interaction and the capacity to immediately challenge assumptions is said to be minimized in online learning. It is naturally true that the cut and thrust of classroom discussions is missing from many online learning environments. They instead focus on fostering focus, responsible time management and self-motivation. However, online learning environments, with their ability **to teach across distances, are rich with cultural diversity**. It goes without saying that as technology shortens the distances between us, our ability to collaborate with, understand, and accept other cultures in an academic environment is increased.

Companies with formal onboarding programs report retention increases up to 82% and productivity gains exceeding 70% [(Oak, Employee Onboarding Statistics, 2023)](https://www.oak.com/blog/employee-onboarding-statistics/). New hires in such environments adapt faster and better internalize company values, which strengthens team cohesion and drives success [(Bradt, To Retain New Hires..., 2018)](https://hbr.org/2018/12/to-retain-new-hires-spend-more-time-onboarding-them). Effective onboarding goes beyond simple orientation. It sets clear expectations, reduces new employee anxiety, and offers essential support. According to Harvard Business Review, investments in onboarding elements like coaching, feedback, and cultural integration foster loyalty and job satisfaction early on [(Bradt, To Retain New Hires..., 2018)](https://hbr.org/2018/12/to-retain-new-hires-spend-more-time-onboarding-them).

Employees engaged in comprehensive onboarding are 69% more likely to stay for at least three years [(elearningindustry.com, How Onboarding Impacts Employee Retention, 2024)](https://elearningindustry.com/how-onboarding-impacts-employee-retention). Key ways onboarding bolsters retention include: - Engagement and connection: Quality onboarding nurtures a sense of community, reducing early turnover and encouraging commitment [(elearningindustry.com, How Onboarding Impacts Employee Retention, 2024)](https://elearningindustry.com/how-onboarding-impacts-employee-retention). - Role clarity: Clear understanding of duties and expectations lowers anxiety and boosts confidence, encouraging longer tenures [(elearningindustry.com, How Onboarding Impacts Employee Retention, 2024)](https://elearningindustry.com/how-onboarding-impacts-employee-retention). - Cultural integration: Early immersion in company culture fosters belonging and alignment, essential for retention [(LinkedIn, Impact of Effective Onboarding on Employee Retention, 2022)](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/impact-effective-onboarding-employee-retention-qkc6f).

That’s a job for **learning paths**. Learning paths have the advantage of making it easy to deliver personalized content to learners. They are a series of courses with **gradual difficulty levels**, intended to lead learners step by step **towards their goals**. Yet, not all paths are the same. What you want are **highly personalized learning paths**. Let’s have a look at some of the tools that help you create them: 1. ### Automation Automation means **flexibility** when building learning paths and workload reduction. Using a learning platform, instructors define **actions that are triggered** when certain conditions are met. For example, when a new HR employee joins the company, you can set a rule to enroll them in an onboarding path automatically and receive a certificate upon completion. 2. ### Gamification You can **create a game** for each learning path, then award points and badges when learners complete their goals. Gamification ensures a more **fun experience** as learners advance from one goal to another. You can display a **leaderboard** for extra motivation and add **team games** in which trainees engage in a friendly learning competition. 3. ### Dynamic flows Traditional learning paths are usually a selection of courses. Still, you can create **dynamic flows** by adding other types of content. Instead of having just courses as goals, you can also have **quizzes, videos, certificates**, etc. For example, start a path with a video, then ask the learner to complete a course, and follow up with a quiz that tests their knowledge. 4. ### Smart recommendations Using **smart recommendations** is one of the best ways to build highly personalized learning paths. For example, if someone wants to learn Graphic Design, an **intelligent learning platform** would first perform a skills gap analysis to identify their current graphic design skill level. Based on this, the platform will **provide content** and **course recommendations** to the learner. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

minutes read The pace of innovation is rapidly accelerating, and AI is poised to redefine how we work, learn, and connect with technology in surprising ways. From empowering new roles and fostering inclusivity, AI is on the brink of reshaping entire industries. Last year, we shared our predictions for AI in 2024 and saw them come to fruition. As the year comes to a close, we wanted to turn the page and once again share our predictions for how AI will continue to evolve in 2025. ## 1. A news-worthy, high-profile blunder courtesy of AI oversight ### A Fortune 500 leader will deliver a high-profile keynote containing uncorroborated passages produced by generative AI – and regret it. Someone somewhere is going to embarrass themselves in ludes fact-checking, editing, and managing content. Left to its own devices, AI is still young and imperfect enough to mess up. It’s hard to imagine a time when it – and we – won’t need human overseers. While AI has sparked fears of workforce disruption, especially in creative fields, the reality is that it empowers talented professionals – writers, teachers, designers – by taking on routine work, allowing them to focus on the creative and strategic judgment that will be even more valuable in the years to come. ## 2. Prompt engineering will no longer be crucial ### 2024 conventional wisdom: mastering AI requires mastering prompt engineering. 2025: never mind. Not long ago, we were told that to use AI effectively, users would need to master complex prompt design—but this idea is quickly proving outdated. Generative AI is increasingly embedded as a user-friendly, intuitive feature in everyday applications, and soon, any app without AI will seem behind the curve. The belief that specialized skills are required for AI is fading, which is a positive shift since this notion could have limited AI’s potential and widened existing [digital divides](https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/research/business/survey-report-bridging-the-ai-digital-divide). Just as previous tech revolutions succeeded by being accessible to all, AI is evolving to understand natural language, user intent, and behavior, allowing a broader range of people to harness its power. Far from deepening digital divides, AI is poised to bridge them as it continues to develop. ## 3. AI breaks into the C-Suite ### We’ll see the emergence of a new, immediately vital C-suite position: CAO. Meet the Chief AI Officer (CAO). Much like CIOs and CISOs before them, who spent years pushing for a voice in corporate strategy, CAOs will now take a leading role as AI becomes central to modern business—bringing both vast potential and unique risks. Unlike past oversights that delayed cybersecurity’s rise to a top corporate priority, the importance of AI won’t be overlooked. The CAO will provide broad oversight across technical and ethical domains, integrating AI into key processes like product design, security, and communications. Not every task will need AI, though, and a high-ranking officer will be essential to set boundaries and make strategic decisions. As AI rapidly evolves, organizations will rely on the CAO to establish guidelines to ensure that AI is used responsibly, aligning with corporate goals rather than posing risks. ## 4. AI-enhanced customer service for all ### User satisfaction with retail customer service channels will do something incredible: go up. Customer-service horror stories incoherent chat agents or frustrating voice recognition systems may soon be history. By orations and Fortune 500 companies. Small businesses can join in, using AI to create high-quality, personalized customer service with less effort, reduced costs, and wider reach. If there’s any downside to all this, it’s that consumer expectations for responsive, intelligent service will rise, with companies that fail to catch the AI wave risking being left in the dust. ## 5. Personalized workplace development displaces old-school training ### Personalized workplace development will become the new standard, displacing old-school, one-size-fits-all training. With hang-onto-your-hat speed, personalized training is accelerating rapidly, becoming more feasible both economically and logistically for large enterprises with thousands of employees. Modern learning platforms, powered by conscientiously deployed AI, drive this shift, allowing companies to provide dynamic, on-demand upskilling tailored to individual needs. By 2025, we’ll see bite-sized lessons seamlessly fitting into unique workflows, empowering companies to reduce worker-error rates, boost competitiveness, and turn workplace development from a cost center into a value-generating engine. The outdated, linear training approaches—often disruptive and off-target—will be replaced by a hybrid model, blending still-relevant traditional coursework with rich, interactive experiences. As AI enables companies to create targeted, context-appropriate training regimes for everyone, employee satisfaction will grow, turning previously tedious tasks into engaging, job-relevant learning opportunities. ## How can you leverage AI going into 2025? As AI continues to evolve in 2025, its potential to boost productivity, streamline customer experiences, and drive innovation will only grow. By embracing AI thoughtfully—focusing on responsible use, clear oversight, and leveraging its strengths for routine tasks—users can maximize its benefits while minimizing risks. Innovations like [CYPHER Agent](/ai-360/cypher-agent-for-course-creators) are already having an impact, allowing users to create courses, map skills, and automate workflows in just minutes. Whether you’re a leader looking to integrate AI into strategic initiatives or a professional aiming to enhance daily workflows, now is the time to explore how AI can elevate your future.

Benefits and how to successfully create it October 5, 2022 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 6 minutes read When we hear corporate education, the first thing that comes to mind is employee training. This is the most common type of training since it has an immediate and direct impact on company performance. However, the larger category of [extended enterprise learning](/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-for-extended-enterprise-learning) has become more and more relevant in past years, with organizations becoming increasingly reliant on third-party providers and retailers. So, what is customer training in this greater picture, and why is it important for your company? This article will answer these questions in depth. ## What is customer training? As the name indicates, customer training is learning designed specifically for the people using your company’s products or services. The point is to make the customer journey smoother, ensure client loyalty, and maximize your products' impact on the customers' life or in their organizations. Depending on what your organization provides, customer training can take various forms: onboarding, brochures, self-paced e-learning modules, how-to videos, searchable knowledge bases, customer support, and certification programs. There is no universal recipe for customer training; it needs to be adapted to each product's specifics and the client's needs. ## Why is customer training beneficial for companies? There are several good reasons why customer training has become increasingly critical to organizational success. Customer training is related to higher loyalty, builds brand awareness, generates leads and, subsequently, revenues. It takes a lot of the pressure usually on the customer service departments. That last one alone should be enough to convince any CFO to invest in customer training. Customer service is paramount to any company that wants to cultivate long-term relationships. This is no small feat with 61 percent of customers willing to change companies after just one bad experience. Many organizations have either invested in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions or outsourced their customer service in an effort to lower spending. However, these solutions are not always great since state-of-the-art AI is rather costly, and off-shore call centers may come with [more disadvantages than perks](https://answerfirst.com/5-disadvantages-of-call-center-outsourcing/). This is why, in addition to support, a quality customer training program is preferable. ## Customer training best-practice examples There are several ways of doing customer training right. Here are a few examples: ### Red Hat [Red Hat](https://www.redhat.com/en) is an American IBM subsidiary that offers open-source software products to enterprises. Since the company has a wide array of products, they provide an extensive customer training curriculum. This is categorized by country and product line, with customers given the possibility to purchase either one-year individual subscriptions created to help individuals develop technology skills or enterprise plans for teams. This establishes Red Hat as a solution provider and a partner in employee skill development. ### Asana Asana, a web and mobile work management platform, [offers immediate troubleshooting assistance](https://asana.com/guide), live webinars with Q&As, video tutorials, and self-paced, in-depth courses. Having this wide array of support and learning tools ensures that customers can truly make the most of the platform and see the benefits of using it long-term. ### Orange Another effective way to deliver customer training is by addressing the pain points of the customer base. For example, Orange, a Telecom company, is offering in-person training to its elderly client segment to help bridge the digital divide gap between generations. In this series of learning events, the 65+ audience can learn how to configure their mobile devices and use them to their full potential. While this is a less sophisticated type of customer training than the first two examples (Red Hat and Asana), it is highly beneficial to brand image. ### CYPHER Learning CYPHER Learning also offers comprehensive onboarding, a constantly updated help section, and the [E-learning Integration in Technology and Education (ELITE)](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cypher-learning-launches-elite-certification-program-for-effective-e-learning-e our clients are learning professionals interested in our platform and want to improve their online training design and delivery skills. So, we have created learning paths for instructional designers who want to validate their global competencies and network with other professionals. ## How to build a successful customer training program There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to customer training, but there are some basic elements that will help your company build and offer the right learning solutions for your client base. And all these elements need to be present in your organization’s learning management system (LMS). ### 1. Find the right learning platform To create optimal customer training, you need the right tools to help you. It all has to start with an excellent platform, ideally an [intelligent learning platform](/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-for-businesses) (ILP). You will need an excellent course creation tool, various templates, media content, a well-curated and attractive course catalog, and a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, since one of your goals is to strengthen brand loyalty, you'll need a platform that allows you to create a unique, personalized space for your customer learning. An ILP has the added bonus of incorporating a mobile-first experience so your customers can access the modules anytime and anywhere. ### 2. Create personalized courses for your customers You most likely already have a good idea of your customer base and what they respond to from your marketing research. Using that information, you'll decide what type of learning content works best and how it should be delivered. The ILP gives you multiple options: micro-learning, self-paced modules, blended learning. For more advanced topics, you can deploy instructor-led training. It all depends on your customer's learning needs and how you choose to incorporate this type of training into your overall business strategy. The key to successful customer learning is personalization. Consumers are increasingly [interested in personalization](https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2020/02/18/50-stats-showing-the-power-of-personalization/?sh=7cbfe07b2a94) when deciding what products they use, and this trend also needs to be reflected in your learning strategy. ### 3. Set customer training goals While some content might be the same, customer training differs from employee training where objectives are concerned. You have to set goals for each learning module, and it's important to track and report whether they are met or not. However, when your learners are also your customers, they can set their own desired objectives and learning paths. For example, if you sell software, you'll have some users who aim for proficiency while others want to learn the basics of using the product because that's all they need. The best thing deploying your customer training through an ILP is that the platform makes [personalized recommendations](/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training) based on individual user goals. This way, they have a seamless learning experience, and your instructors don't have the added task of following learner activity to recommend more online courses or other training materials. ### 4. Award certificates The end of an online course or a learning path needs to be recognized. Your customers should have something to show for the time and effort they put into the learning program. Through the ILP, you can automatically award nominal certificates that showcase the accomplishment. Together with numeric mastery display, the certificates are a strong incentive for other learners to enroll and have the same achievement. People are generally prone to sharing their achievements, so this is another aspect of customer training that can build your brand image and make your company known to a larger audience. Furthermore, the certificates you offer combined with the mastery displays for your customer training are a good way to demonstrate how well the program is doing – very useful when you need to show the ROI of training. ### 5. Create learning paths for certification An excellent way to keep your customers engaged with the learning program is to offer complete learning paths that end in certification. Achieving mastery is one of the [best drivers of motivation](https://up-ward.co/blog/retrospective-idea-autonomy-mastery-purpose). You can make your training available as part of [certification programs](/blog/business/how-e-learning-makes-employee-certifications-simpler) – as we do at CYPHER LEARNING with the ELITE program and, therefore, become not only a vendor but a partner for our customers. This works best in the case of Business-to-Business (B2B), but you can tailor certification to work for individual, Business-to-Consumer (B2C) companies. For example, if your company is selling project management software, you can create a path covering: the basics of project management, how to build effective timelines and stay organized, ways to maximize productivity, and advanced monitoring and reporting. At the end of the path, you can award a certificate of completion or mastery. Offering such an advanced learning path ensures your customers will know all the features and benefits of your products and be more inclined to use them long-term due to their effort investment. ### 6. Create a portal just for customers I've already mentioned the importance of learning personalization. This doesn't refer to the courses alone. The ILP allows you to create individual portals for customers – in the same platform, you can have different portals for your employees, contractors, retailers, franchises, and clients. In the case of corporate customers, you can design the portals to incorporate your brand as well as theirs, giving a better sense of a successful partnership. With each portal having its own URL, welcome page, logo, course catalog, and resources (both created in-house and external), you will deliver an excellent experience for each client. ### 7. Track and measure customer training The ILP's comprehensive analytics make it easy to measure the KPIs you have for the customer training program and see if it works to your standards. Course analytics will show enrollment numbers, completion rates, statistics concerning the amount of time spent on each module, and activity reports. The latter can be used as cues to send automated reminders to users who have become inactive and offer incentives for returning to the course. Assessment and mastery analytics will reveal how well the learners understand the information and to what level they can apply it on various tasks. The ILPs built-in and custom reports are easy to generate and interpret. ## Customer training done right In the current volatile business environment, competition is fierce, and organizations need all the competitive advantages they can muster. Setting up a quality customer training program benefits your company’s image and helps build customer loyalty and revenue. The secret to a quality program is having the right platform and customizing learning to fit your customers' needs.

Educators can’t know it all and do it all by magic; they also **need to learn**. And they need all the support they can get. At the same time, there is **no one-size-fits-all approach to Professional Development (PD)** for teachers, but there are some aspects that should always be a part of it. Here are five of them: 1. ### Establish the basics Listen to what teachers have to say. Their feedback at this step can really make a difference later on. Then, you need to decide which tools to use. Since teachers have to work with edtech when teaching, you could use your **school LMS** to **create training courses for teachers**. Last but not least, plan on when and where exactly **teacher PD** will happen. 2. ### Provide relevant courses Of course, it’s always good to pinpoint the problems that might be **solved by teacher training**, but remember that some things are better solved in other ways. To cover as many needs as possible, try to plan courses covering the latest findings in pedagogy or subject matters, and **courses on edtech**. The TPACK framework is a good starting point. 3. ### Diversify your delivery Diversifying your methods of training will help **respond to the learning needs of teachers**. There is more than one way to do that. You could diversify the format of the course: **face-to-face instruction, online courses, or try out a blended approach**. Then, you could diversify the content of the course: text-based guides, video content, interactive scenarios, gamified content, and so on. 4. ### Promote collaboration You can’t think of teacher PD as a one-time shot and then call it a day. Learning is a process that happens within **informal settings** just as much as (or maybe even more than) it does during official training. **Teachers learn from one another** and your organisation should support and nurture that. 5. ### Offer continuous support Learning never stops. Neither should the professional development of teachers. If you expect them to constantly **get better at what they do**, then you should be prepared to offer them support, whether it’s through the implementation of a **1:1 program, flexible learning spaces, or using the school LMS**.

No matter what the course is , the success of these people is based on two things: they create **valuable content** and they **market it continuously**. Here are 10 easy ways to market online courses: 1. ### Update your social media profiles Add the link to the web page of your course and write some posts it. Make sure the pictures or any other visual content that you use with the post meet the size requirements for each social media platform. 2. ### Update your email signature Add the link to the landing page of the finished course in your email signature as well. You do send emails probably every day and even if they’re on different subjects, people will still notice your course. 3. ### Announce your course to your audience Send an email to your current list of subscribers to inform them that your new online course is now available. Some won’t waste too much time before they’ll show interest, especially if there’s a chance they’ll get a discount. 4. ### Promote the course on your blog Write more posts on various ideas and concepts that are discussed in the course, but on a more surface level. Invite the audience to buy your course if they want to dive deeper in that subject, at the end of each post. 5. ### Create lead magnets Create new forms of content related to your online course to attract more subscribers. The lead magnets, as they are called, can be free ebooks, white papers, case studies, checklists, more free videos, infographics, and so on. 6. ### Make a video your online course There are plenty of free tools online that allow you to create nice short videos without having too many technical skills. Upload the promotional video on YouTube, Vimeo and other video sharing platforms. 7. ### Write guest posts Reach out to bloggers and content creators in your niche and offer them guest posts for free. Make sure your author bio includes the link at least to your website if not to the course landing page. Share this new content on your social media accounts. 8. ### Participate in podcasts and webinars more people that create content related to the main topic of your course. Mention your course at the end of the event and invite people to check out your website. Amplify this content by sharing it on social media as well. 9. ### Leverage online communities Go on relevant Facebook groups, LinkedIn Pulse, Quora, Reddit and other forums. Make thoughtful, considerate and helpful contributions to each of these communities, to establish you name as an expert in the field. 10. ### Add learner testimonials to the course landing page This helps a lot in building social proof, especially if you sell your first course. People will buy more easily if they find validation the your course is worthwhile. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on e-learning for entrepreneurs.

But developing and mapping skills in courses is often a lengthy and complex process, influenced by various factors such as course complexity, instructor expertise, stakeholder collaboration and curriculum alignment. Traditionally, this process can take weeks or months and requires continuous updates to stay relevant. “In today's rapidly evolving business environment, companies must prioritize effective employee training to stay competitive,” said Graham Glass, CEO and Founder of [CYPHER Learning](/). “The biggest challenge facing these companies is that many HR departments do not have the time to map and monitor skills development. We introduced AI-powered skills development to ease HR’s burden and help L&D instructors automate the process, so they can focus on building high-impact, personalized courses and teaching employees.” CYPHER Learning's AI-powered skills development joins [AI Crosscheck](/blog/news/cypher-learning-introduces-ai-crosscheck-lms-accuracy-tool), the industry’s first AI-powered accuracy feature for AI-generated LMS content, as part of CYPHER Agent and provides a comprehensive, dynamic and efficient solution for employee training.

Si bien este año ha sido algo mejor que el de 2020, algunas cosas deberían quedarse en el pasado. Por mi parte, también creo que hay otras cosas que debemos dejar atrás: ¡los mitos sobre el aprendizaje! Ya sabes: - Usamos únicamente el 10 % de nuestro cerebro. - Recordamos el 10 % de lo que leemos, el 20 % de lo que oímos y el 30 % de lo que vemos. - Podemos aprender mientras dormimos si la habitación está completamente oscura. Bien, eso último fue un invento mío, pero no, [no puedes aprender mientras duermes](https://www.livescience.com/64920-how-learn-during-sleep.html), esté oscuro o no. No puedo dejar de admitir que estoy un poco decepcionado :/. Los mitos encuentran la manera de infiltrarse en nuestro conocimiento colectivo porque apelan a la intuición, se hacen muy populares y se sobredimensionan al repetirse una y otra vez. Al final, se transmiten de generación en generación.  El defecto más evidente de los mitos es que carecen de un enfoque basado en la evidencia. Es decir que se originaron en algún lugar, generalmente en libros o estudios donde no se aplicaban métodos de investigación rigurosos o, simplemente, hasta allí llegaba la ciencia en ese momento. Cuando tenemos más información, nos puede ir mejor. ## ## Siete mitos sobre el aprendizaje que hay que dejar atrás Revelar la verdad sobre algunos mitos populares sobre la educación nos orienta hacia prácticas mucho mejores y basadas en la evidencia.  Sin más preámbulos, exploremos algunos mitos populares sobre la educación de los que sería mejor olvidarse el año que viene:  1. ### Los profesores deben enseñar según los estilos de aprendizaje Los intentos de validar la teoría de los "estilos de aprendizaje" han fracasado o han tenido resultados dudosos. La intención del mito es buena: ver qué prefieren los estudiantes para poder enseñarles mejor. Sin embargo, clasificar a los aprendices en grupos reducidos es un error, ya que no hay ninguna prueba científica de que adaptar la enseñanza a los "estilos de aprendizaje" realmente haga algo para mejorarla. En primer lugar, ¿cómo se sabe quién pertenece a cada categoría? La mayoría quedan encasillados según la autopercepción, que es un método muy poco fiable para determinar los estilos de aprendizaje. De todos modos, aun cuando los estudiantes se inclinan por un estilo en particular, esto no significa que esa sea la forma más productiva en la que aprenderán. Hablando de improductivo, es casi imposible desarrollar métodos eficaces de enseñanza para cubrir todos los estilos de aprendizaje, en su multitud de clasificaciones. 2. ### La pirámide de Maslow nos indica cómo debemos motivar a los estudiantes "Maslow antes que Bloom" es una idea noble, por lo que es fácil ver por qué la Jerarquía de necesidades de Maslow sigue siendo ampliamente aceptada dentro de la comunidad educativa como algo intrínsecamente válido. Simplemente hay que atender sus necesidades primero y luego enseñarles, ¿verdad? El fallo de todo este planteamiento es que los intentos científicos subsiguientes de validar la teoría han fracasado a pesar de su popularidad. No solo eso, sino que el propio Maslow nunca imaginó su teoría como una pirámide. También lo abordamos como un juego de "todos o ninguno" en el que una "necesidad más básica" debe estar completamente satisfecha antes de pasar a una de orden superior, lo que significaría que todos deberían estar completamente satisfechos antes de poner un pie en el salón de clases. Esto también pone una presión tremenda sobre ti como educador para averiguar lo que los estudiantes necesitan cuando, en realidad, es más probable que la construcción de una buena relación estudiante-profesor los motive a aprender. 3. ### La capacidad de atención de los estudiantes está reduciéndose El mito de que la capacidad de atención de las personas de hoy es como la de un pez dorado se ha extendido como reguero de pólvora gracias a la [exageración](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-luso en un mismo individuo, por lo que ni siquiera se puede sostener la estimación de una capacidad de atención media de entre 10 y 20 segundos.  Sin embargo, los teléfonos pueden distraer y provocar una disminución de la concentración y un cambio rápido entre tareas (hacer varias tareas a la vez). Una forma más segura de contrarrestar estos efectos negativos es iniciar una conversación sobre el bienestar digital y limitar el tiempo de pantalla siempre que sea necesario. 4. ### Los estudiantes aprenden mejor bajo presión "Under pressure" (Bajo presión) es una gran canción, pero no es mi sensación favorita. Ahora bien, algunas personas dirían que, aunque no me guste, podría ayudarme a concentrarme mejor, con toda esa adrenalina recorriendo mi cuerpo.  Y no estarían del todo equivocadas, ya que algunos estudios muestran que el estrés puede ayudar a la consolidación de la memoria. Si los estudiantes se estresan *después o cerca* del evento de aprendizaje, esto puede ayudarles a retener mejor la información. Sin embargo, si se sienten estresados *durante* el aprendizaje, el desempeño en el recuerdo y el reconocimiento disminuye en [más de un 30 %](https://www.cog.psy.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/papers/2010/YNLME5497.pdf). El resultado es independiente del material aprendido, y el efecto de los altos niveles de estrés parece ser [independiente de la hora del día](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306453010002052).  Es más probable que el estrés no sea algo blanco o negro, ni bueno ni malo. Un pequeño nivel de presión está bien y es esperable, pero el estrés crónico tiene profundos efectos adversos sobre el aprendizaje y la salud en general. 5. ### Los estudiantes de hoy pueden hacer varias cosas a la vez sin problemas Dado que se los conoce como "nativos digitales", los estudiantes están acostumbrados a pasar de un dispositivo a otro, por lo que están acostumbrados a hacer varias tareas a la vez de manera eficiente, o eso dicen. Al fin y al cabo, los estudiantes también pueden montar en bicicleta, lo que también requiere hacer más de dos cosas a la vez.  No tan rápido. Aprender a montar en bicicleta lleva algún tiempo, y el proceso se vuelve automático después de un tiempo. Para las tareas complejas, como el aprendizaje, la participación en clase, etc., esto no ocurre; los estudiantes tienen que seguir esforzándose cada vez. Lo que ocurre es que los estudiantes pasan rápidamente de una tarea a la otra, lo que da lugar a un bajo rendimiento en el aprendizaje.  La verdad es que [a todos nos cuesta hacer varias tareas a la vez](https://vc.bridgew.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://scholar.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1071&context=mahpls_fac), ya que perdemos más tiempo haciendo el cambio que en las tareas en sí. Así que la próxima vez que los estudiantes insistan en que pueden enviar mensajes de texto y aprender a la vez, [prueba este experimento](https://www.learningscientists.org/blog/2017/7/28-1?rq=task%20switching) con ellos. 6. ### Los niños son mejores en Matemáticas que las niñas Si me dieran un centavo por cada vez que escucho esto, podría pagar un enorme cartel publicitario que dijera: "TANTO los niños COMO las niñas pueden ser buenos en Matemáticas".  En este [estudio reciente](https://www.nature.com/articles/sipio. 7. ### Algunos estudiantes utilizan más la parte derecha de sus cerebros y otros, la izquierda Si haces una búsqueda rápida en Google sobre pruebas de uso de la parte derecha/izquierda del cerebro, encontrarás alrededor de 720 millones de resultados. Esta idea ha estado presente desde hace algún tiempo, y ha dividido a los estudiantes, una vez más, en dos categorías: creativos y analíticos. Los primeros deberían decidirse por la lengua y la literatura, mientras que los segundos solo deben ocuparse de la ciencia. Sin ahondar demasiado en la neurociencia, los hemisferios izquierdo y derecho están conectados y se comunican entre sí todo el tiempo. Es posible que un lado sea más grande que el otro, pero eso no significa que prefiramos usar ese lado más que el otro. En este [estudio](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0071275#s4) en el que participaron más de 1000 sujetos, se utilizaron imágenes por resonancia magnética funcional (IRMf) para acabar con este mito de una vez por todas, y se concluyó que: "nuestros datos no demuestran la existencia un fenotipo particular en el que pueda clasificarse el cerebro de acuerdo con una supuesta mayor fuerza de la red neuronal "izquierda" o "derecha" en cada individuo". En otras palabras, no se puede usar uno sin el otro. La conectividad cerebral es más importante que qué lado hace cada cosa, y existe un peligro real en creer que tu cerebro solo sirve para la "creatividad" o la "lógica". ## ¿Hechos o ficción? Esta no es una lista exhaustiva, por lo que te recomiendo encarecidamente consultar [Mitos urbanos sobre el aprendizaje y la educación](https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780128015377/urban-myths--learning-and-education) para obtener una perspectiva más completa sobre este tema.  Es probable que los mitos populares relacionados con la educación sigan existiendo de una forma u otra. Su atractivo consiste en ofrecer explicaciones aparentemente sencillas que parecen válidas. Sin embargo, ahora que estamos mejor informados, podemos dejarlos donde pertenecen: en el pasado.

[K-20 blog](/es/blog/k-20) [Maestros](https://www.cypherlearning.com/es/blog/k-20/tag/maestros) --- ## 4 Skills activities for real-world knowledge building - Business blog **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/skills-development-activities **Last Modified:** 2024-10-21 false [Business blog](/blog/business) # 4 Skills development activities for real-world knowledge building November 9, 2022 By [CYPHER Learning](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/business/author/cypher) 3 minutes read Skills development activities can take many forms. From traditional methods that require all employees to be present in the same training room and listen to a seminar or go through a presentation to more modern solutions, these are all ways of helping employees upskill. However, the latest skills training strategies take training to the next level and provide better outcomes. Skills training strategies are effective programs that provide a [personalized learning experience](/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training) based on your employees’ job titles, learning goals, and competency levels. A great advantage that they bring is the fact that they can take place even during remote/hybrid training. Employees can go through the training program at their own pace, whenever their schedule allows, and ask for assistance when needed. ## Skills development activities to maximize training potential Let’s have a look at some ways you can maximize training potential through skills development activities. ### 1. Offer Just-in-Time resources Employees prefer companies that make training and skills development a priority, as they appreciate [learning on the job](https://trainingindustry.com/articles/strategy-alignment-and-planning/empowering-employees-to-learn-in-the-flow-of-work/). No matter if they complete training in an office or at , they like to have access to all the resources they need to learn so they can solve a real-world problem. For example, if an employee needs to prepare a document and send it to a specific customer, they can easily learn how to address them by searching for a specific keyword in the training platform. Alternatively, they can learn that information by getting an automated learning suggestion based on their skill gaps. They learn how to write an email through a micro-course on “how to work with clients.” This also teaches them how to act in similar situations. Next time they need to learn how to complete a task like that or one of their colleagues needs assistance, they’ll know to point them in the right direction. This is good as it saves time, reduces the possibility of making costly mistakes, and ensures everyone is on the same page regarding their training. ### 2. Create scenario-based learning No matter if your company creates training resources in-house or you facilitate them using an external provider, there are many opportunities to create resources based on your employees’ preferences and needs. With scenario-based training, you can easily immerse your employees in a subject matter and provide them with the right resources so you can engage them in training. For example, you can create a course on how to steer the client in the right direction. It can include relevant examples on how to address this situation as well as pointers on how to complete this task successfully. After taking the course, your employees will be able to use the problem-based learning approach whenever they need to solve an issue prevalent in their work. ### 3. Create practical learning experiences By creating scenario-based learning, you can use practical life scenarios for training. These can take place either online or offline. Additionally, by hosting workshops, you can focus on the practical part and leave the theory for asynchronous courses. This will bring great results as employees are not keen on sitting through a theory-heavy lecture. This is a perfect time for your employees to practice their skills. For example, if they are taking a course on Workplace Resilience, they could film themselves in a certain setting or give some ideas on the topic and upload them to the platform. Later, their instructor and colleagues can leave feedback and suggestions. ### 4. Enable project-based assessment methods Your learning platform is your go-to place for effective assessment methods such as quizzes, surveys, essays, and many more. All you need to do is create the assessment, let your employees know it, and check the results. However, it is also a good idea to pick collaborative and project-based assessments as they allow employees to work on real projects while interacting with one another. For example, you can set up a course based on the skills your employees need to master. It can include training materials, assessments, as well as groups. This allows employees to exchange resources and ideas and get motivated to learn while completing tasks. Once done, the projects can be achieved and re-used as many times as needed in the future. If they are looking for a way to [upskill or demonstrate skill mastery](https://hbr.org/2022/01/how-to-build-a-successful-upskilling-program) in the future, they can simply use those saved projects. ## Key Takeaways These are just a few activities that impart real-world experience to your employees. Most of them can be easily completed with the help of a [learning platform](/business). They don’t only take your training program to the next level but also provide a nice learning experience that is easy to complete, no matter where the training takes place.

Insights and challenges from a survey of 4,500 workers. Well-trained, productive employees are a principal engine for business success. But our latest research shows that inadequate learning and development is holding workers back, leaving them without the skills to progress up the ladder. As a result, many feel marginalized, dissatisfied and disengaged, which is threatening employers' ability to compete. ## Key survey findings ### What people want 89% of workers would feel motivated and enthusiastic if offered bespoke training for their role - with training in soft skills such as leadership being the most highly coveted. ### Perks and pitfalls Almost a third of employees (30%) say the training they received has been "exceptionally rewarding” – but 70% are looking for more when it comes to L&D. However, 16% of workers have had no workplace training in the past year - a quarter of whom say their organization has no training programme at all. ### Engagement and motivation 43% say their company’s insufficient workplace training is holding them back from advancing their career - with 44% of 18-34 year olds looking to change jobs because of a lack of training and development. 69% of workers would welcome guidance and training to help them navigate the ‘unspoken rules’ of the workplace - but 54% do not trust HR to look out for their interests. ### No skills tracking 38% of organizations have no formal means of capturing information on employee skills or tracking employee progress. ### Ineffective managers Over half of workers (53%) say their manager is under-equipped to help them progress in their career - with 55% saying their manager doesn’t know enough the skills they (the respondents) have.

Choosing a skill development tool isn’t easy. A training platform should tick all the usual boxes, such as course creation, certificates, and availability on all devices. The choice becomes much harder since, in addition to learning management systems (LMSs), the market is also saturated with learning experience platforms (LXPs). However, drawing a line between these two solution types isn’t necessary or useful. On the contrary, companies can have the best of both worlds, meaning LMS and LXP features merged into a single one: the [modern learning platform](/blog/business/intelligent-learning-platform-for-businesses). The modern learning platform is a game-changer for [skills development](/solutions/skills-development) since it has features that enable a more personalized training experience based on skills development and attaining career goals. ## What are the must-have modern learning platform features? Let’s explore the must-have features of a modern learning platform: ### 1. Adaptive learning [Adaptive learning](/tour/skills-development), as the name suggests, accommodates the employees’ needs and helps [personalize their learning experiences](/blog/business/lms-vs-lxp) dynamically. How? Based on the previous actions that employees have taken on the platform. For example, learner A has more years of experience and demonstrates a higher skill level than learner B. Both learners take the same course or are enrolled in the same learning path but see completely different modules and assessments. Adaptive learning is also a convenient way for employees to focus on upgrading their skill level by only showing them the training sections that will help them do so. ### 2. Automation [Automation](/tour/automation) is the thread that connects different aspects of the platform, including enrollments, inactivity actions, assessments, gamification, and even social learning features such as employee groups. Automation is the most basic and essential part of a modern learning platform. It works through “if-then” rules such as “If learners enroll in a course, then they automatically receive a custom welcome message” or “If learners get a score of more than 80%, then they are enrolled in a more advanced skills development module.” Consequently, the platform takes care of the most time-consuming and tedious tasks, so L&D and HR staff have the opportunity to manage their workload better and work on more creative aspects of training development. ### 3. Gamification Adding [gamification elements](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/e gamification is powered by automation, learners instantly receive badges, points, and other rewards, so they feel a sense of accomplishment after completing a module or a quiz. Gamification is more than displaying earned badges on learner profiles and featuring the top trainee performers on a leaderboard. It’s a fun measure of learner progress in their skills development journeys. ### 4. Learning goals [Learning goals](/blog/business/skill-building-goals) are an excellent addition to skills development training. This feature allows employees to focus on achieving [competency-related objectives](/blog/business/personalized-corporate-training) such as “I want to learn advanced graphic design skills.” Alternatively, employees can also focus on achieving a particular job and its associated competencies, such as “I want to become a Senior Graphic Designer.” Learning goals are a good way for learners to pursue the opportunities that their company may offer. Employees don’t have to wait for organizational or economic shifts before upgrading their skills. ### 5. Automated recommendations Automated recommendations are based on learning goals. For example, if an employee wants to become a Senior Graphic Designer, they can choose their goal, and the platform will automatically suggest relevant training content. In this way, recommendations are personalized to fit each individual’s aspirations and show various learning options. For instance, an employee can enroll in an online course, join a learning group, watch a tutorial video, read an article or a potential mentor to enhance their skills and close learning gaps. ### 6. Third-party training partners A modern learning platform allows companies to create a learning ecosystem that supports and sustains skills development. On the one hand, in a closed ecosystem, only some employees can access training. This means that inter-departmental communication is weak and innovation is stifled. On the other hand, a healthy ecosystem is open and connected. Each member has the right professional development opportunities. Access to third-party training content such as LinkedIn Learning or Go1 is essential for a healthy ecosystem. In this way, instructors don’t have to create all skill development courses, and the diversity of training materials covers most employee needs. ### 7. Community building In a global organization, building a learning community is challenging. Employees often work in different time zones and don’t have as much as needed to learn together. A learning platform that allows asynchronous discussions is a good starting point to get them excited sharing their knowledge. However, a community-building effort is sustained by bringing together employees with similar learning goals that communicate with the help of various tools, including groups, private messages, chats, and forums. ### 8. Mentorship opportunities Creating a [good mentorship program](/solutions/mentorship-and-coaching) means less experienced employees can advance their skills with the help of their peers. At the same time, more experienced ones are also recognized as important members of the organization. In a modern learning platform, mentors are learners who have already completed their goals. The platform can suggest other employees them and ask for help in achieving their desired skill levels. Most importantly, it’s a way to pair novices and mentors, so training specialists don’t have to do this manually or “nudge” learners to collaborate. ## Top modern learning platform features Skill-building success depends on the quality of the training platform companies have at their disposal. A modern learning platform offers the best skill development features, so companies don’t have to choose between functionality and learning journey optimization. Instead, it provides both LMS and LXP features to eliminate tedious administrative tasks, including training recommendations.

While that is great news for LMS vendors, it also means that there will be fierce competition between **LMS vendors**. As the industry becomes more competitive, many LMS developers are introducing flashy new features to their products in order to stand out from the crowd. While this trend has introduced the e-learning industry to some **great features**, there are others that add no value to the life of the end-user and make the LMS more complex to use. If you have been playing with **new ideas for your business LMS** and are unsure whether they will contribute to your success, this infographic will help clear the confusion. Here are the most **in-demand LMS features** that companies look for: 1. ### Responsive design A major percentage of learners are using mobile devices. As a result, **responsive design** has become a **critical factor** when a business owner is comparing features. However, optimizing for mobile devices is not enough, your **LMS design** and layout should offer a consistent and seamless experience to the learners, regardless of the device they are using. 2. ### Blended learning support Blended learning combines the best aspects of instructor-led training (ILT) and self-paced training. The common LMS features that support blended learning are **instructor-led training management and the virtual classroom**. 3. ### Freedom to customize Be it an e-learning business or companies looking to deliver training to their employees, **branding** is an important goal for everyone. For this reason, the **level of freedom to customize** the LMS has become an increasingly important consideration for businesses. 4. ### Robust reporting capabilities Organizations want data how their employees and instructors are **interacting with their courses**. Similarly, instructors expect data their learners. On the other hand, learners expect help with **identifying areas that require improvement**, along with information their assessment results. 5. ### User-friendliness This may be the last point on this list but it is by no means any less important. **Flashy features are of no use** if the end-user cannot take advantage of them. In fact, a complex user interface is one of the most common challenges that businesses face with LMSs. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on training and e-learning.

As imagens sempre foram usadas para transmitir significado e tornar as informações mais fáceis de lembrar. Como os vídeos são cadeias de imagens mais ou menos animadas, podemos dizer com segurança que estão cheios de significado. No ensino, os vídeos já são parte inerente dos recursos e materiais que escolhemos para apresentar informações, gerar um fluxo de ideias, estimular o pensamento crítico, despertar a curiosidade e fomentar a criatividade. Nossos alunos aceitam bem a variedade de modo geral. Isso os torna mais engajados e ativos, diminuindo assim o tédio. Os vídeos proporcionam essa variedade por conta da sua versatilidade. Eles são uma valiosa ferramenta de ensino, independentemente da idade ou do nível de compreensão. Como parte do processo de aprendizagem, eles podem ser incluídos em formato real ou animado. Os vídeos animados são mais atrativos porque criam um ambiente de aprendizagem lúdico e ativam aquela sensação reconfortante que os desenhos animados costumam dar.

Esse cenário inclui seus próprios conjuntos de regulamentos que precisamos cumprir. O fato de existirmos nesse ambiente, trabalharmos, aprendermos, fazermos negócios e nos comunicarmos como fazemos na vida real nos torna cidadãos desse mundo digital. Como cidadãos digitais, temos direitos e obrigações, e é por isso que é tão importante aprender mais sobre o conceito de cidadania digital. "A cidadania digital é o desenvolvimento contínuo das normas de uso apropriado, responsável e empoderado da tecnologia." Assim, precisamos fornecer ao mundo on-line conteúdo adequado que possa gerar experiências positivas para os outros e reconhecer que nossas ações como cidadãos digitais têm consequências. No que diz respeito a qualquer ambiente on-line, este deve ser um local seguro em que todos se sintam protegidos e não vulneráveis. Além disso, ele deve promover uma melhor compreensão de todas as suas implicações e contribuir para educar os usuários em direção a resultados positivos de longo prazo. Além disso, como cidadãos digitais, precisamos criar relacionamentos cooperativos e interdependentes que promovam a compreensão mútua. Em seu livro [Digital Citizenship in Schools (Cidadania Digital nas Escolas)](https://books.google.com/books//Digital_Citizenship_in_Schools.html?id=YwQmAQAAIAAJ), Mike Ribble e Gerald Bailey falam sobre o conceito de cidadania digital em sala de aula e como a tecnologia influencia a maneira como as pessoas interagem. Os autores definem nove elementos da cidadania digital: ## Os nove elementos da cidadania digital Como a educação está no âmago de qualquer sociedade, os alunos são aqueles que devem ser educados no uso da tecnologia de maneira responsável, garantindo a segurança do ambiente on-line para as gerações vindouras. Consequentemente, os aspectos da cidadania digital giram em torno do uso da tecnologia para fins educacionais. Alguns desses elementos estão relacionados à vida dos alunos fora da escola, enquanto outros estão diretamente relacionados à maneira como eles usam a tecnologia em sala de aula. 1. ### Acesso digital Embora vivamos em uma era digital, nem todos têm acesso à tecnologia. Como professores, devemos estar cientes das necessidades dos alunos e garantir que eles possam usar igualmente os recursos on-line. Devido aos avanços nas escolas em todo o mundo, os professores são capazes de oferecer aulas envolventes e motivar os alunos por meio da inclusão da tecnologia em suas aulas. Um número cada vez maior de educadores exige dos alunos trabalhos que devem ser feitas on-line, mas isso apresenta uma desvantagem, uma vez que nem todos os alunos podem pagar por um computador/smartphone e um plano de acesso à Internet. É por isso que os educadores precisam fornecer alternativas adequadas às necessidades de cada aluno.

A tecnologia também é usada em sala de aula para mostrar aos alunos os possíveis caminhos a seguir em suas futuras carreiras, abrindo caminho para um futuro emprego. Compreender como funciona o e-commerce é um pré-requisito, tanto como clientes potenciais quanto como empreendedores. 3. ### Comunicação digital A comunicação on-line tornou-se tão comum e tão frequente que os alunos se esquecem de que estão fazendo isso em um espaço virtual. É essencial saber como e o que dizer, pois erros de comunicação acontecem o tempo todo no ambiente on-line. Hoje em dia, o espaço on-line dá voz a quem precisa, e as pessoas podem se expressar livremente. Isso exige que os alunos sejam empáticos e reajam adequadamente tanto on-line quanto offline.

Isso também contribui para aumentar a conscientização sobre como tratamos uns aos outros em qualquer espaço. A alfabetização digital também inclui desenvolver a capacidade de diferenciar entre conteúdo autêntico e falso, que, de outra forma, pode ter um grande impacto negativo na vida dos nossos alunos. Os alunos precisam aprender a decidir qual conteúdo é bom para eles e o que deve ser evitado para poderem levar uma vida equilibrada. 5. ### Etiqueta digital A tecnologia traz instruções básicas de uso incorporadas, mas, a longo prazo, devemos educar os alunos para que eles as entendam melhor e adquiram “[fluência digital](https://foreducationedtech.com.br/blog/fluencia-digital-como-integrar-a-tecnologia-a-pratica-do-professor/)”. Isso moldará seu comportamento on-line, e eles terão uma reação positiva, em vez de negativa, a qualquer conteúdo ou comentário. Dessa forma, a atitude on-line se reflete no mundo real, e vice-versa. O foco na implementação de regras de etiqueta na Internet trará grandes resultados para as gerações futuras, que terão uma atitude apropriada no mundo on-line. 6. ### Direito digital O ambiente on-line abre espaço para interações positivas e negativas. E, assim como na vida real, existem leis que todos devem seguir. O direito digital lida com os direitos e as restrições legais que regem o uso da tecnologia. Muitos usuários on-line estão infringindo a lei, de forma consciente ou não, seja bisbilhotando e-mails, envolvendo-se em bullying cibernético ou baixando músicas ilegalmente. Como cidadãos digitais, os alunos precisam conhecer as regras para prevenir qualquer tipo de crime on-line, sem importar a gravidade. 7. ### Responsabilidades e direitos digitais Como em qualquer sociedade real, o mundo on-line tem seus regulamentos. Isso significa que um usuário tem não só direitos, mas também responsabilidades. Existem regras e políticas que nos tornam responsáveis por nossos atos e ações no mundo on-line, que devem ser seguidas*.* A Internet também pode ser usada para fins nocivos, e as pessoas precisam de estruturas de proteção, por exemplo, contra eventos de [bullying cibernético](https://novaescola.org.br/conteudo/1424/20-o-que-e-bullying-virtual-ou-cyberbullying). As escolas devem abordar esse assunto em sala de aula para prevenir esses comportamentos e denunciar qualquer má conduta no ambiente virtual. 8. ### Saúde e bem-estar digitais Vivemos tanto no mundo on-line quanto no mundo real. As exigências e liberdades do indivíduo devem ser estendidas ao mundo digital. Todas as pessoas presentes no mundo on-line precisam contribuir para o bem-estar coletivo. Os alunos devem ser ensinados a se proteger e proteger os outros contra possíveis danos, assim como alertar um adulto, se for o caso. O uso de recursos on-line é um grande benefício, mas todos devem estar cientes dos perigos que acompanham esse benefício. 9. ### Segurança digital A segurança no mundo on-line é importante, pois as escolas também são [muito vulneráveis a ataques cibernéticos.](https://www.gov.br/governodigital/pt-br/seguranca-e-protecao-de-dados) Precisam ser tomadas precauções para garantir a segurança dos alunos. Além disso, ao usar dispositivos na escola ou em casa, os alunos precisam entender as consequências dos seus usos e estar cientes de possíveis ataques. Os professores também devem explicar como evitar que esses ataques aconteçam e como proteger seus dispositivos. ## Em resumo A cidadania digital é o status que todos os usuários on-line devem alcançar, incluindo os alunos. Com essa cidadania, vem não só a liberdade, mas também a responsabilidade. Assim como os cidadãos do mundo real, os usuários on-line precisam seguir as regras e tentar aproveitar todos os seus benefícios com segurança. Como cidadãos digitais, os alunos precisam estar cientes dos seus comportamentos e de como eles podem afetar as outras pessoas, além de mostrarem empatia e controlar conflitos.

teacher » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/academia/ways-to-be-a-good-teacher **Last Modified:** 2024-08-19 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For academia # 5 ways to be a good teacher A good teacher can change a person’s life. Achieving this requires **exceptional teaching methods** and a way to inspire students. The question on everyone’s mind is: what makes a “good teacher”? The answer is a lot more complicated than you might think. There are many qualities that come to mind when describing **good teachers**. Here are a few that are considered especially important: 1. ### Be open to teamwork A good teacher will put themselves in the position of a **guide**, rather than being a leader. The brunt of education is on the students, but they require help to be able to overcome difficult subjects. This is where a teacher's skills are supposed to shine. This requires **open communication** and a willingness to be **flexible** with your methods. 2. ### Show passion when teaching Teachers often start their careers with an extreme passion for their work, but soon it becomes part of a routine. Try to find something **interesting your subject** that will **reignite the passion** you had for it. It’s as easy as learning new tidbits to present to the class. Putting a little effort into your presentation is good enough to **stimulate better learning**. 3. ### Manage your time well It’s no secret that teachers have a lot of work on their hands so **time management** is especially important. Use as many **helpful tricks** you can to ease the time it takes to prepare subjects. For example, some teachers prefer to write reminders and flashcards to read. Master the art of making useful presentations as it’s a skill that can **cut your preparation time** by quite a bit. 4. ### Never stop learning Teachers have to be constantly on the lookout for **new and relevant information** that pertains to their field. Sometimes, new information is found that changes the course of a scientific discipline. Teaching is a skill that can be worked on as well. Nowadays, teachers can benefit from **professional development** for improvement and to help students learn on their own. 5. ### Overcome obstacles It’s important that teachers don’t lose sight of their **end goal – education**. Even bad days are offset by dedicated classes and a passion for teaching. You can deal with bad days and inattentive students once you figure out that these **drawbacks** are **only temporary**. The main factor that influences the student’s education is your **quality of teaching**. Visit our [Blog](/blog) for insightful posts on edtech for K-12 and Higher Ed.

Save thousands of dollars. Get more time back to teach and train. ## Time and costs to create a course - 43 hours. Each hour of instructional content takes [43 hours](https://understooduk.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-create-learning-the-time-intensive-task-of-designing-training/) to create - 10 modules. A typical course has 10 modules (3 content sessions, 2 assessments) = 1 hour of content - $35 USD per hour. A typical instructional designer in the USA costs around [$35 USD per hour](https://www.salary.com/research/salary/alternate/instructional-designer-ii-hourly-wages) It takes 430 hrs (10 x 43 = 430 hours) and costs $15,000 USD (430 x $35 USD = $15,000 USD) to create a course. ## Creating courses with CYPHER Agent Takes minutes, not months. Includes AI-powered: - Content creation - Skills management mapping - Assessments - Graphics - Voiceover - Translation and localization in 50+ languages - AI Crosscheck - Gamification - and so much more...

They offer inclusive higher education programming which leads to meaningful employment for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. IHECP provides students with the opportunity to attend classes, interact with faculty and explore all that college life offers, while developing their social skills, learning independence, expanding their career options and earning potential. “To build something that is so meaningful for our students and to use this to build our curriculum has been a wonderful process for us as a program and for me individually.” Cathi Allen, Executive Director INDUSTRY Non-profit organization COUNTRY United States Best practice [The challenge](#item-1) [The solution](#item-2) [Features](#sub_section_1) [The results](#item-3) [Schedule a demo](#cypher_form) Share on social! Previous user interface is being shown. New look launched in 2024. ## The challenge - Struggled to provide educational content that catered to the needs of students with intellectual developmental disabilities due to the language and reading-based nature of most learning management systems - Educators faced challenges in maintaining student focus and engagement - Students lacked access to personalized feedback and self-monitoring tools Our students have intellectual developmental disabilities and, because of that, traditional ways of learning in college don’t work for them. The learning management systems that are available to college students are mostly language and reading-based. What we really love CYPHER Learning® is that our students are able to access educational content higher than their reading levels because we are able to integrate CYPHER's LMS with other plugins such as Read&Write so that we use text-to-speech software. “Traditional ways of learning in college don’t work for them.” Cathi Allen, Executive Director ## The solution The graphic interface that CYPHER provides gives our students pictures and colors to go by, instead of just reading and reading lists of things, our students lose focus with that. CYPHER allows us to really structure our lessons so that our students are familiar with what we start off with, what comes next, what’s expected of them, and when they’re done. Through this structure, we’re able to teach these students information that they typically wouldn’t be able to access outside of high school or even in high school. Our students are able to self-monitor, not only do they know where they are, they know how they're doing. They get immediate feedback from their quizzes, they're able to learn because the quizzes show them what they got right and what they got wrong. They're able to go back and redo the quiz, which I believe is a deeper learning system for them. They're able to immediately correct their mistakes and learn from them. We're able to watch our students move through the lessons and if they're not able to pass a lesson at the mastery level that we require, the students are able to go back through and retake quizzes. They're also able to take a look at a progress bar, see where they are in the class and where they are throughout the whole semester. ### Features - **Human connection:** You can connect with your friends on CYPHER, so if you have a question you can ask your friends to help as well. CYPHER has a way to connect you to your instructor so if you have a question you can ask her: “Hey, can you help me with this?” and she can go into CYPHER and change it for you - Mackenzie, Student - **Quizzes:** What I like CYPHER is that we can go back over our notes and learn what we got wrong on the quizzes, what we don't know, and what we need to know for our midterm. After you're done doing the quiz, before you push finish, you're able to go back over it and answer with a different answer before you push finish. That shows you a result, shows you which ones you got wrong and the correct answer. All of that really helps me out a lot - Kyle, Student - **Content development:** To be able to take a look at a course and go: well, maybe this section should be first, and literally drop and drag a section has been remarkable. The way that the pages look, I think it is very engaging for our students. We're able to pull out bits and pieces from the videos that they watch. Their content is in video format, but we scaffold their content and their learning through the vocabulary, the images, and pre-teaching visual analogies. It makes for a stronger and deeper learning experience for our students, but to be able to access something like this from a personal standpoint, to build something that is so meaningful for our students and to use this to build our curriculum has been a wonderful process for us as a program and for me individually - Cathi Allen, Executive Director “CYPHER allows us to really structure our lessons so that our students are familiar with what we start off with, what comes next, what’s expected of them, and when they’re done.” Cathi Allen, Executive Director ## The results - Integrations with plugins such as Read&Write enables text-to-speech functionality, allowing students to access educational content beyond their reading levels - CYPHER's graphic interface provides visual cues such as pictures and colors, enhancing student engagement and focus - Students receive immediate feedback on quizzes, allowing them to identify areas of strength and weakness and make corrections accordingly The Inclusive Higher Education Certificate Program is really excited to be able to share our findings with other people how we're using a graphic interface for students with intellectual disabilities. As far as we know, we are the only group in the nation who's able to bring in students through a Zoom process of video conferencing so that our students from literally four hundred miles away are able to join us in our classroom and learn at a higher level beyond high school. “What's really cool CYPHER is that somebody who does not have a strong background in computers or programming can actually build and structure courses that are meaningful for our students at many different levels.” Cathi Allen, Executive Director ### Want to be featured as a CYPHER Best Practice?

With [CYPHER Agent](https://www.cypherlearning.com/ai-360), learners gain instant access to context-aware, highly accurate in-the-moment learning drawn from both proprietary organizational resources and verified public knowledge. The result: on-demand, personalized learning experiences that accelerate skill development, enhance courses, and close knowledge gaps faster than ever. This release marks the latest step in CYPHER’s vision of delivering “*an agent for all things learning*.” ### Personalized AI in-the-moment learning — inside the learning platform “With the addition of CYPHER Agent for learners, we’re giving individuals their own personal learning agent — right inside the CYPHER learning platform,” said Graham Glass, Founder and CEO of CYPHER Learning. “Learners can ‘learn in the moment’ virtually any topic, with experiences tailored just for them.” CYPHER Agent empowers learners to: - Surface knowledge instantly from secure company resources in a simple, conversational format. - Enhance existing courses with personalized explanations, deeper context, or simplified breakdowns of complex material. - Close skills gaps with verified interactive learning, even on topics not yet covered in catalogs or training materials. “Learners no longer need to dig through modules or PDFs to find an answer,” added John Kannapell, President at CYPHER Learning. “CYPHER Agent delivers knowledge that is both authoritative and contextual — whether it’s compliance manuals, sales playbooks, or instructor-authored content.” ### Building on the CYPHER platform's course agent Agent for learners builds on the CYPHER platform's award-winning course creator agent that enables instructors and trainers to create full courses in just minutes. The new learner agent builds on this foundation, extending CYPHER’s AI capabilities to personalized, in-the-moment knowledge delivery. Together, they represent critical milestones toward CYPHER’s vision of a fully AI-powered learning ecosystem. ### How it works Whether it’s task-specific (“How do I update customer information in our CRM?”) or exploratory (“Where are we vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks?”) — learners simply have to ask CYPHER Agent. Behind the scenes, it: 1. **Delivers personalized responses**by drawing from approved company resources or public knowledge. 2. **Validates accuracy** with a second, independent AI model. 3. **Structures learning**with concise overviews, deeper subtopics, and visual concept maps for easy exploration. 4. **Keeps data secure and role-aware** ensuring learners only see content they are authorized to access. ### Key benefits - **Personalized learning support**tailored to each learner’s function, language, reading level, and course history. - **Faster, secure access to company knowledge** surfacing the right information instantly, without having to endlessly search. - **Dynamic catalog expansion**filling learning gaps with personalized interactive learning, even before organizations recognize the need. ### Privacy and security at the core Unlike general-purpose AI tools, CYPHER Agent is secure, role-aware, and fully controlled by administrators. Organizations decide what topics are in bounds, monitor usage, and ensure learners only access approved content. No sensitive data leaves the organization, no AI models are trained with the activity, and prompts are never retained or exposed. ### What’s next: An agent for all things learning With CYPHER Agent for course creators already transforming how courses are built and CYPHER Agent for learners now redefining how knowledge is consumed, the agent roadmap ahead includes agents to cover the entire learning journey: - **Coach:**offers career feedback and planning to learners so they can improve their skills and experiences to meet their career goals. - **Assess:** determines a learner’s current skill level through question and answer and provides real time feedback. - **Practice:** provides learners with interactive opportunities to apply new knowledge in realistic contexts with roleplaying. Together, these capabilities will make CYPHER the first platform to deliver on the promise of an agent for *all things learning*. ### A new era of AI-powered learning With CYPHER Agent for learners, AI goes beyond generic chat support to become a secure, role-aware virtual instructor — tailored to each organization, each learner, and each moment of need. “Fully personalized learning is no longer a future promise,” said Glass. “It’s here — and with CYPHER Agent, organizations can deliver trusted knowledge & skills development at scale, while maintaining the oversight and security they require.” Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [News blog](/blog/news) [Press release](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/press-release) --- ## Infographic: ChatGPT vs CYPHER Agent for learners **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/chatgpt-vs-cypher-agent-for-learners **Last Modified:** 2025-10-08 [] Infographic PDF Infographic CYPHER Learning # ChatGPT vs CYPHER Agent for learners Could my learners just ask ChatGPT?Here is why CYPHER Agent for learners is the superior choice for personalized learning in-the-moment. It’s not an either/or proposition. While general purpose AI systems have their role, CYPHER Agent is uniquely situated to support organizational upskilling, helping people learn new things quickly.  ## Generic AI like ChatGPT* ## CYPHER Agent for learners Isn't verifiedGeneral AI systems don’t cross-check for accuracy and hallucinations so they could supply misinformation.

No connection to developmentOutside AI models are not a part of the learning journey or aware of the learners goals or skills development plan. There’s no insight into or feedback on completed learning. Fully integrated into learningCYPHER Agent is accessible to learners throughout the learning journey, whether it’s to respond to a prompt, close a skill gap, or make progress towards a goal. And the touchpoints are only growing. No control over file sharingThere’s the risk that a user may upload a file to an AI system that isn’t licensed by your org, making proprietary data public. Leverages files securelyOrganizations can add proprietary files to the Agent knowledge base so that they can be used for in-the-moment learning. The files stay securely within CYPHER. No user awarenessIf your organization shares files with an AI system, any user with access to the AI system can pull information from the files. User-level securityThe Agent knowledge base respects the user-level sharing you’ve established. If a user can’t access the file, Agent will not reference the content. No controls and no insightAdministrators cannot add guardrails around how the AI is being used and learners can become distracted from their learning needs. There’s no insight into how the AI is being used. Enterprise-level control and complianceCYPHER Agent provides structure and direction designed to aid learning. Guardrails ensure AI responses align with your compliance policies and company-approved content so you can trust that content meets the real learning needs of your business. Administrators can review how it’s being used. *NOTE: This refers to general ChatGPT, which doesn’t know your industry, company, or roles unless you tell it during the session. It doesn’t retain memory unless that feature is enabled, so responses are based only on the current conversation.

Joined by CYPHER Director of Solution Marketing, Caitlin Bigsby, the conversation dove into how NTT DATA is delivering personalized, engaging learning experiences at scale and achieving amazing results. If you want to learn more NTT DATA and what their path with CYPHER Learning looked like, you should check out their [customer success story](https://www.cypherlearning.com/best-practices/ntt-data). Highlights include: - 93% improved test scores (up from 85%) - 24 days saved a year eliminating manual data cleanup - 96% engagement score (up from 60%) - 100% compliance for 4 consecutive months ## Below, we’ll break down a few key talking points NTT DATA and their experience with CYPHER: ### Can you give us an overview of your company’s mission and how learning plays a role in achieving your company’s strategic goals? NTT DATA overview0:50 “We're part of NTT DATA global, and we're basically a business process outsourcer. Organizations come to us for our expertise in call center solutions, setting up call centers, and being able to deliver value and customer experience, so for us, training is what we do, it's our bread and butter, and we really do have a passion for learning. We think it is central to our mission and our employees.  It's a call center, so it's fast moving, it's technology-driven, and keeping them up-to-date with the latest skills is really critical for what we do. And this includes things like compliance and our best practices as part of our success, or recipe for success.  So for us, it's more than just making sure employees are doing the right thing, but it's making sure to deliver high value solutions to our customers and clients.” - Daniel Frye, Senior Manager of Training Design at NTT Data ### What specific AI-powered features from CYPHER Learning have had the greatest impact on your training program? AI-powered features from CYPHER Learning1:14 “I think one of the biggest game changers for us has been around the automated learning paths and the piece around compliance tracking and gamification.  For us, learning paths ensure that the employees are taking training in the correct order, and this also reduces errors when it comes to even compliance. We have regulators that audit, you know, “Do agents have privacy and security [training]?”, “Are we following AML?”, and things like that. Making sure that those lessons and those training [courses] are completed before they hit the floor and take calls with actual clients is critical.  Before implementing an LMS we had challenges because we just couldn't track it, it was a very manual thing. Trainers would miss it, learners would miss it, so being able to have an LMS automate and track that for us and cut down on reporting has been a huge win. Then, in terms of automated learning paths, before again scheduling training and making sure that learners were in the correct courses was a manual process. We were relying on our trainers to basically do all the leg work, so being able to use an LMS, being able to create curriculum and learning paths, has been a gamechanger for us.”  - Daniel Frye, Senior Manager of Training Design at NTT Data ### What was the experience like in implementing CYPHER Learning and, if you can share candidly, were there any hurdles organizationally when you went through all this? Experience implementing CYPHER Learning1:17 “Well I'm sure your audience will know, big global organizations, multiple systems, and then change. No one likes change, right? But I think for us, there was an adjustment period, and I think one of the great things in leveraging CYPHER was that the tool is very intuitive, and the implementation process and the support helped make it seamless.  We already knew as we were going on this journey that we needed to have our own internal specialization and capability, so we kind of put that in place, but the journey with CYPHER and the CYPHER team has been incredible. They've been a great partner, they've answered questions, they provided additional training, and it's just been a great transformation for us.  I think the challenge before implementing was around tracking, reporting, and compliance. It was very manual, and then, even like we talked earlier, with our courses and being able to track learner completions and all that stuff was very, very manual, but with CYPHER and the platform there's a lot of automation, so it's been a huge win.  Our learners are happy, our training staff is happy, our administrators are happy, everybody's happy, so it's been a great journey and we look forward to continuing that partnership.” - Daniel Frye, Senior Manager of Training Design at NTT Data Brandon Hall Group also had quite a few questions for CYPHER our specific features and exciting upcoming tools, like CYPHER Agent: ### How is CYPHER Learning ensuring that ethical AI practices (like transparency, bias mitigation, security, data privacy) are all taking place? AI ethics and security in the CYPHER Learning platform1:52 “One of the revolutionary ways that we've approached our agent creator tool, both for learners and for course creators, is with something called AI crosscheck. Rather than having a single AI generate the course and be like ‘Hey, we're done, you know we're all correct’, we actually have a second independent AI that analyzes the content before it's even presented to the person who's requested it to double check, look for hallucinations, look for contradictions, and then surface those discrepancies to the requester so that they can decide how to proceed with them. So that's one major distinguishing feature that we have which I think is really critical. I saw a statistic yesterday from a KPMG study that said 56% of people who've been using AI at work have admitted to making a mistake based on bad information from an AI, so having that double check is really important.  We also have guardrails in place that the administrators can put in to say ‘these topics are acceptable’ and ‘these topics are not,’ so that's one way of ensuring it's being responsibly used at work.  And then the services we use, themselves, are committed to not using proprietary information and are only using publicly available information or your own information that you have uploaded which also remains proprietary to you. So for example, if NTT DATA uploads their policy and procedures manual to build a course, that's still theirs. It is not getting sent back to the ‘hive mind’ of the GenAI model to fold in. It's still theirs, as is any resulting course material that is being created. Those are some of the guardrails we've put in place to ensure that it's being used ethically, responsibly, and with accuracy and trust.” - Caitlin Bigsby, Director of Solution Marketing at CYPHER Learning ### Every client, every prospect wants you to be ahead of the curve, pulling them along. No one wants to be pulling along their provider. How are you staying ahead of all of this and addressing all these trends? How CYPHER Learning is staying ahead with AI1:13 “Well, we do have a group dedicated just to AI and just getting out in front. We're very lucky that our CEO is exceptionally plugged into all of this. In fact, he heads up most of our AI initiatives. We already have, we'll be announcing it soon, but it is absolutely ready to go. I just did a webinar this morning CYPHER Agent for learners which is where the learner gets to log in and say, "Hey, you know, how do I do this? How do I learn how to use civil 3D to do something?" It generates not just an answer like ChatGPT, it generates a matrixed concept map of the topics that they can dig into. So we're already kind of getting to the personalized stuff. We're going to continue to build that out. We're always watching down the road of where to go, what people want, and there is a balance between what they want and what is useful and where AI can go. We want it to be helpful and make things happen. We want people to be able to adopt it and use it. We don't want to just make AI for the sake of making AI, we want to infuse AI throughout our systems in areas that will actually make it better.” - Caitlin Bigsby, Director of Solution Marketing at CYPHER Learning Subscribe to monthly updates ### ## You may also like October 1, 2024 [News blog](/blog/news) [Podcast](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/podcast) [News](https://www.cypherlearning.com/blog/news/tag/news) --- ## Infographic: Top e-learning trends in 2020 » CYPHER Learning **URL:** https://www.cypherlearning.com/resources/infographics/academia/top-e-learning-trends-to-keep-an-eye-on-in-2020 **Last Modified:** 2024-08-19 [en] Infographic PDF Infographic For academia # Top e-learning trends to keep an eye on in 2020 The world of education has adopted **digital learning** as a reliable way of delivering instruction, assessing student progress and supporting better academic outcomes.

The real value of [employee training](/solutions/employee-training), however, comes not just from the content itself but from how well that learning gets transferred and applied in the workplace. Transfer of learning is one of the primary measures of the success for any training program or strategy. It’s the ability to apply learned knowledge or skills to tasks at work. Unfortunately, learning without effective transfer often ends up being just a line item in the budget—a big investment that yields little results. To ensure that your learning and development (L&D) programs are making a tangible impact on performance, it's essential to understand the many factors that can drive and support better knowledge transfer. In this post, we’ll explore seven influencing factors that may affect the success of learning in your organization. Next, we’ll explain how to optimize your learning and development strategies to ensure that your employees retain the skills that help them excel. ## 7 Factors that boost the transfer of learning Transfer of learning is crucial for businesses of any size, particularly if those organizations hope to compete in a rapidly changing market. Companies that rise to the top are those that adapt quickly, train their people thoroughly, and ensure market-ready skills for employees. Accepting a less-than-stellar learning transfer rate is incompatible with industry best practices for corporate training and education. Even so, there’s only an [estimated 20% transfer rate](https://elearningindustry.com/need-talk--learning-transfer#:~:text=The%20taking%20of%20skills%20and,training%20between%orate training realm today, showcasing a drastic opportunity for improvement. Luckily, there are many ways to reverse troubling trends and give your employees the tools, skills, and knowledge they need for success. Transform your organization’s training programs for the better by capitalizing on the steps and factors below. ### 1. Incorporate modern learning technology Technology is often the missing link for L&D programs. A powerful learning platform can easily offer ongoing support and reinforcement of the training content, which we know is crucial to long-term retention and skills application. Unfortunately, the days of hoping for solid learning transfer with a slide deck or well-designed PowerPoint presentation are in the past. Learners need more—in terms of engagement, personalized content, and responsive support from leaders and managers. As you consider how to improve your process to encourage greater knowledge transfer, consider how to incorporate: - Personalized learning or skills pathways - Digital badges, certificates, and recognitions to earn along the way - Real-time [reporting and analytics](/tour/reporting-and-analytics) of learner performance - [Diversity and inclusion initiatives](/solutions/diversity-and-inclusion-training) to better serve and reach all learners #### How to respond and take action Choose a user-friendly learning management system (LMS) that provides on-demand access to training materials and resources that are relevant to real-world scenarios. Incorporate gamification elements and skills levels to keep learners engaged and motivated. ### 2. Align with top stakeholders In order to design or launch any L&D program successfully, you first have to know and understand the expectations of all stakeholders. Instead of simply meeting Human Resources (HR) or training department objectives, seek actionable input from the individuals who will ultimately benefit from this training the most—employees and their direct managers. Commitment and alignment are essential in any training program to prevent misunderstandings over the exact methodology, content, or processes. This is why effective communication across parties is always a key objective of the L&D department in charge of a new training strategy. When people feel included and heard in the decision-making process, they tend to learn better and commit on a personal level to the results. Plus, corporate training that fosters individual career growth is more likely to equate to higher engagement and more active participation. **CYPHER Tip:** CYPHER’s emphasis on [extended enterprise training](/solutions/extended-enterprise-training) builds trust between leaders and employees by helping companies invest in long-term skills growth. #### How to respond and take action Before you flip the script on a new L&D strategy, set aside time for important focus groups, surveys, or interviews with future participants. These steps will help leaders understand the needs of those groups and highlight what they want to achieve through the training. Be prepared to explain the relevance or success potential of any new [skills development program](/tour/skills-development). ### 3. Know your learning context Context is also a crucial factor in designing new company training programs. Learning objectives should be in line with specific business situations. For instance, if a company is introducing a new sales platform, they should create relevant training that outlines the goals and benefits of the platform and how employees can leverage it for success. When learning is taught in a vacuum, it is rarely applied effectively. As an example, leadership training should draw on real-life leadership scenarios. When the training connects with a person’s actual job context or scenario, it becomes infinitely more useful. Retaining that information isn’t only helpful for passing a learning objective, but it could make or break or real-life business interaction. The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) latest findings also show that nearly [1 billion people will need training by 2030](https://www.muchskills.com/playbooks/why-skills-should-be-top-priority) to keep up with tech changes in their roles. Remember—employees may learn more information if they see how they could benefit immediately from the acquired knowledge. #### How to respond and take action Spend time thinking how contextual relevance can improve the transfer of learning in your specific job role or context. Explore job shadowing opportunities, case studies, and on-the-job assignments to bring training to life and demonstrate clear connections.

Embrace the social learning environment When peers and managers actively encourage and support the development of new skills within an organization, a healthy culture of learning develops. And when learning goals are on everyone’s mind collectively, there’s a better chance that the transfer process is seamless. Education (formal, casual, or community-based) tends to offer a social experience. People learn better within a mutually supportive environment. Meaningful social relationships and active collaboration with colleagues gives more people a voice in the learning process. **CYPHER Tip:** [Human connection](/tour/human-connection) is a crucial part of how and why CYPHER is different from most LMS platforms. Start using interactive chat rooms, wikis, web conferencing, web announcements, and more to ramp up social engagement in your curriculum. #### How to respond and take action It is easier for employees to take risks when they feel supported by their supervisors and colleagues. Encourage your learners to take risks and begin to apply what they’re learning. Motivate managers to participate in new L&D initiatives alongside teams. Peer learning groups and mentorship can provide additional layers of support for new skills.

Leverage your learners’ motivation Motivation leads to learning transfer. But it’s challenging to find motivation for individuals and teams, as they’re likely to vary widely based on personality, background, and learning style. In addition, because motivation levels and social environments often work in tandem, collaborative environments across teams often yield the best results. If learners don't see the value of the training or if there's no clear incentive in the “after” scenario, transferring and retaining become infinitely more difficult. Naming both intrinsic (why learning matters personally) and extrinsic (what learning can do for a career path) motivators can also help minimize friction or pushback. Because [59% of today’s employees](https://www.devlinpeck.com/content/employee-training-statistics#:~:text=59%25%20of%20employees%20say%20training%20improves%20their%20overall%20job%20performance&text=Almost%206%20out%20of%20every,improve%20their%20time%20management%20skills.) believe that training improves job performance, it’s important for leadership to capitalize on this. When there’s great motivation to learn, there’s a better chance at achieving impressive results long-term. #### How to respond and take action Always communicate the reasons for any L&D training program and its potential benefits. Help learners visualize the results that they stand to gain in both the short and long term. [Gamifying the experience](/tour/gamification) can also be a great way to recognize and reward employees who demonstrate that they have aced and applied new skills. ### 6. Integrate training within core responsibilities Nowadays, companies are operating on less time and fewer resources. As a result, it’s important that leaders ensure that the time people spent in training is actually valuable and results-oriented. Specialized industry courses or [compliance programs](/solutions/compliance) give employees practical skills and tools they can often put into practice the very next day. When it comes to learning transfer, information is more likely to stick if it flows right into an employee’s everyday workload. But when new content creates confusion or disruption, it’s more difficult to retain, benefit, and move forward. [Modern methods of on-the-job training](https://bigthink.com/plus/on-the-job-training/) also encourage things like mentorships, apprenticeships, and personalized coaching for even greater learning transfer. **CYPHER Tip:** [Competency-based learning](/solutions/competency-based-learning) can ensure that real skills mastery is taking place. That’s because competency focuses on actual demonstration of acquired skills—not simply cramming information and regurgitating it on an exam. #### How to respond and take action Start with a professional skills audit, determining where daily performance or knowledge is lacking. Show learners how new competencies can build upon what they already know. As an extension of daily routines, this type of learning shortens the path to application. ### 7. Use frequent sessions to amplify results Frequent and diverse delivery leads to better knowledge transfer than stand-alone, one-time events. That’s why opportunities like blended learning (synchronous and asynchronous) can be instrumental in shaping how your learners receive and process new teaching. Additionally, intense learning sessions don’t have to be overwhelming. Instead of delivering massive amounts of information, focus on the depth and immersion experience of the entire learning process. **CYPHER Tip:** Opt for a platform that blends the best of both worlds. CYPHER’s [blended learning](/solutions/blended-learning) options incorporate flexible schedules and an enriched virtual model that helps learners master new concepts at , at work, or in a class environment. #### How to respond and take action Incorporate many unique learning formats, such as simulations, discussions, project-based learning, and skills badges as a way to more engaging learning experiences. Encourage active participation and the chance to apply deeper critical thinking skills throughout each session. ## Benefits of effective learning transfer strategies A successful learning transfer doesn't just benefit the learner—it benefits the entire organization. Taking knowledge from a training program and actively applying it in the workplace often leads to improved job performance, increased productivity, and enhanced innovation. - **Improved productivity** – In companies with employee training, each employee yields [more income and higher revenue](https://www.devlinpeck.com/content/employee-training-statistics) than in companies without. - **Reduced employee turnover**– [Retention rates are up to 34% higher](https://www.zippia.com/employer/employee-training-development-statistics/) in organizations that invest in regular, positive training. - **Higher employee engagement**– According to Gallup polls, only [one-third of US workers report being highly engaged](https://www.gallup.com/394373/indicator-employee-engagement.aspx#:~:text=In%20the%20latest%20reading%2C%20from,than%202020%27s%20high%20of%2036%25.) in their work environments. From the corporate side, a commitment to learning transfer can boost how employees feel their future within one team or organization. In other words, by investing in employee development, a company can create more positive, empowering cultures. ## Bringing it all together Addressing the factors that influence learning transfer can significantly increase your learning and development ROI. By taking a holistic approach to your training efforts (including stakeholder buy-in down to individual technologies), you can transform your learning and development into organizational success. By engaging learners and helping them take ownership of the knowledge and skills they need for growth (not simply handing them curriculum without application), you can start to produce measurable, positive changes in your workplace.
