Bluedrop USA’s Training Development Management System and management system includes three components that can be used as a stand-alone or as a comprehensive suite:
- Training Document Manager (TDM)
- Learning Content Management System (LCMS)
- Learning Management System (LMS)
Training Document Manager (TDM)
The Learninglogics® Training Document Manager (TDM) is used by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to create schemas and document templates such as Qualification Standards and Plans (QSPs) or Qualification Standards (QSs) and Training Plans (TPs) to support competency and skills documentation. Users can create, edit, copy and publish their training documentation using section templates and a rich-text HTML editor.
TDM can be formatted to produce and manage any Course Control Document (CCD), allowing users to create templates or use the defaults provided within the module.
TDM can be used alone or with the Learninglogics® LCMS. When used with LCMS, direct links between CCD and course content are established. This enables highlighting changes to a CCD in the associated courseware with LCMS. This link is dynamic, notifying of required changes on either side. This process improves the efficiency of reviews and modifications and enables better configuration management and sustainment of training materials.
TDM enables users to develop skills and competency training documentation by:
Authoring – TDM allows users to easily develop, edit, copy or link content to create training documents. TDM automates some of the content creation by allowing the subject matter expert to build section templates and share assets to generate the training and standards necessary to meet the needs of the competency environment. An administrator can customize the templates to meet your document needs before you begin to develop content.
Previewing – TDM’s preview feature allows the developer to view various plans and objectives before content is developed and throughout its lifecycle. Though commonly referred to as performance and enabling objectives, level names are user-defined to allow maximum flexibility in adapting to your training and business practices.
Publishing – Once you have developed your content, you can use the “publish” feature to create a Portable Document Format (PDF) of your training or qualification document.
Learning Content Management System (LCMS)
Bluedrop USA’s Learninglogics® LCMS is an online tool for creating, storing, and assembling training content. Trainers, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), courseware developers, or anyone with training content can efficiently build web-based courses, evaluations and surveys.
Learninglogics® LCMS capabilities include:
Web-based system
It offers a completely web-based system that provides both power and flexibility.
Standards based
This is certified to Advanced Distributed Learning’s (ADL’s) Sharable Content Reference Model (SCORM), Extensive Application Programming Interface (xAPI) and Computer Managed Instruction 5 (CMI5) industry standards for e-learning.
Reusable learning objects
Bluedrop USA’s LCMS architecture, based on reusable “learning objects,” makes it easy for trainers to assemble, reuse and update content.
Automated authoring
Learninglogics® automates the process of content creation by providing trainers with templates based on sound instructional design principles and allows for the linking of content for reuse.
Personalized learning
Courses can be customized for individuals or groups of users. Learning objects can be reused to construct multiple versions of courses.
Fully customizable interface
The LCMS interface can be customized to reflect an organization’s desired look and corporate image while supporting variations in learning presentation, including self-paced and instructor-led (dual-screen) interfaces.
Predefined templates
Choose from a set of predefined screen and question styles that integrate a range of web-compatible multimedia and interactivity.
Comprehensive evaluations
Trainers can create a wide range of test questions, including multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, and clickable images, as well as many others. Tests can be measured through evaluations or embedded knowledge checks. Bluedrop’s LCMS also lets trainers produce question banks that can be stored and shared as learning objects across multiple courses.
Media auditing and cataloguing
Learninglogics® has a powerful media auditing capability that allows trainers to track the progress of graphic development. This feature lets courseware developers search for graphics, track usage and reuse media from a graphics library.
Multimedia integration
Content can include any web-compatible multimedia such as images, WebGL, streaming video, 3D objects and simulations.
Glossary
Create a glossary of key terms grouped by category and searched by students from the courseware interface.
Integrated Review Process
Provides an integrated review process of the courseware created and a detailed report highlighting any changes made.
Learning Management System
The Learninglogics® LMS is a powerful and flexible learning management system (LMS) that can be customized to suit the needs of any organization, regardless of size or type. With Learninglogics® LMS, users can enroll in courses, access user records, create and launch e-learning courses and manage virtual classrooms.
The Learninglogics® LMS capabilities include:
- Web-based system – This web-based system provides a powerful and flexible way to manage users and courses.
- Standards-based – certified for e-learning industry standards, including Advanced Distributed Learning’s (ADL’s) Sharable Content Reference Model (SCORM), Extensive Application Programming Interface (xAPI) and Computer Managed Instruction 5 (CMI5).
- Flexible – Our platform provides a customizable learning environment where instructors can manage student enrollment, track progress and oversee coursework.
- Scalable – a system that can quickly scale to accommodate various training needs.
- System Compatibility – Users should be able to utilize the system without compromising performance or power. Compatibility is also important.
