Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication standard that lets users use one set of credentials to access multiple software systems. It eliminates the need of having many passwords for different systems. It works by using SSO tokens. Despite its downsides, it is still a reliable secure way to access applications and services in a user-friendly fashion.

SCORM is the default learning management system (LMS) standard in use today. It helps to eliminate the inefficiencies of previous learning standards. It uses sharable content objects (SCOs) to launch learning content. There are different versions of SCORM but SCORM 2004 is the current and latest update. Most LMS platforms produce content that is SCORM-compliant.

Responsive design is a feature that allows a website to fit on the screen of any device, including smartphones and tablets.

This feature helps to cut down costs and is user-friendly among other benefits.

Online assessment is the use of information technology to evaluate tests. There are two main types of online assessment including independent assessments and group work.

Microlearning is the means of delivering course content in small bits that can easily be delivered, tested, and marked. It has been proven that longer courses are boring and insufficient. Ted Talks, YouTube, and Khan Academy are examples of microlearning platforms. Learner engagement and knowledge retention are some of the benefits of this model. However, this model is not applicable to complex topics and courses with larger learning outcomes. Importantly, there are some guidelines to be followed when implementing this mode of learning. They include the use of multimedia and gamification.

Certification is a formal confirmation where a credential showing one’s specific knowledge and skills is issued. To create an effective certification program you need to follow some tips and best practices. There are different types of certificates. Ensure that your learning management system (LMS) comes with a certificate management functionality. This will allow you to easily design, create, and issue certificates.

A learning path is a structured guide for a learner to follow. Examples include learning paths for students, employees, partners, and customers. The different types include learner's choice, sequential, and specified timeframe. Additionally, they come with benefits such as saving time, create structured training programs, and are goal-oriented. Moreover, they can be integrated with most cloud-based LMS platforms.

Interactive content is learning material that involves the active participation of the learners as opposed to just listening, reading, or watching. It introduces the concept of interaction; a two-way action where two parties have an effect on each other. Quizzes, gamification, and storytelling are a few ways of making content interactive. The benefits of this approach include knowledge retention and increased learner engagement. To add, a modern LMS platform will help you incorporate interactive content into your elearning courses.

Instructor-led training (ILT) involves an instructor or facilitator. Learning happens through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and presentations. It is still one of the most effective methods of learning. There are different types of ILT including classroom, one-on-one, workshop, webinar, and seminar. ILT has many benefits including the introduction of a blended learning approach, expert training, social learning among others. Setting up ILT initiatives involves defining objectives, establishing relevance, design and development, and creating a plan. Also, it requires some skills to conduct such training including research and presentation skills.

eLearning, or electronic learning, is learning that can be accessed via electronic devices. The concept dates back to the 19th century and has gradually transformed over the years. Today's elearning is mostly accessed via learning management systems. Among other benefits, elearning presents a blended approach to learning. It is successfully being used to train students, employees, partners, and customers. It is also used for compliance training.

A course builder is a function of the LMS that allows a content creator to develop learning material. It has no major difference with a course authoring tool since the two are practically one and the same. Google also happens to own free open-source software with the same name.

A content library is a repository for pre-created elearning content. It is the central location where learning material is stored. Content libraries save time and costs associated with course creation among other benefits. They also come with features tailored for elearning such as LMS integration.

A course authoring tool is software used by course creators to develop elearning content. Authoring tools range from powerpoint-based and cloud-based tools to stand-alone and highly-specialized solutions. Having a course authoring tool has many benefits for your organization. These tools come loaded with features tailored to make course creation hustle-free.

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application developed for the creation, administration, tracking, reporting, documentation, and delivery of educational content, training programs, and learning and development courses. There are different types of LMSs ranging from cloud-based to self-hosted solutions all serving the same purpose. An LMS serves as a central location for online courses and comes with other features such as social learning and systems integration. Among other benefits, LMSs introduce a blended learning approach and help to save costs.

Assessment help to evaluate learner progress. It also gives information on the success of training initiatives. There are different types of assessments all governed by the same principles. There are various reasons to assess your learners. Additionally, to create effective assessments, there are carefully laid-out steps in designing and implementing them.

Accessibility entails the use of technology to make learning content available to everyone regardless of whether they are disabled or not. Instructional designers will achieve their training objectives better if they keep accessibility in mind. Accessibility involves different elements that range from how content is displayed on devices to different principles and standards that govern the concept.

Gamification adds game elements to non-game scenarios. Gamifying your LMS will keep your learners active and engaged. The result is an enhanced user experience. Gamification has many benefits and helps learners perceive learning from a new perspective. LMS gamification helps to bring your elearning courses to life. Ensure that you choose an LMS platform that is gamified for the best results both for you and your learners.
