When is an LMS not (just) an LMS? When it's an engagement hub, a communications centre, an intranet, a knowledge base...
Last week, our very own Corey Mitchell and Aby Reynolds took to the virtual stage to share insights into how businesses like yours can get more value out of your LMS.
They showed real customer platforms, including Hemsley Fraser, Ascent Flight Training and Greystar, to show how their 5app hubs offer so much more than just formal learning - you'll find it all in the video above, so give it a watch!
If your current LMS is just a repository for elearning and PDFs, it's likely you're missing out on some of the value of your platform.
5app customers are a resourceful bunch, and just some of the ways they go beyond the LMS include:
“During the pandemic, we had to be incredibly agile. We created a live news feed within our 5app platform, which pulled in real-time government announcements, along with our own resources around working from home, getting better use out of Microsoft Teams and using our systems.
With everyone’s worlds being turned upside down overnight, we also used that feed to share 10-minute recipes, suggestions for what to watch on Netflix and more. We were able to create a real community feel with this feed that went beyond traditional learning and resulted in real engagement in what was a challenging time for the whole team.”- Senior Director of Learning and Talent Development at Greystar
The key to maximising your ROI with any LMS investment is to think more creatively. A traditional LMS may focus specifically on learning management, but that doesn't mean yours has to!
A great learning platform can do much more than you might think. If employees are already using it for learning, why not put your comms and HR documents there? Why not use it to onboard new hires? Why not communicate with your teams with targeted company updates? It's all perfectly possible, and it'll save you time and money procuring new systems when you already have everything you need in your very own 5app hub.
Our case studies showcase just some of the creative, interesting ways in which our customers have moulded their 5app hubs to their own needs, so check them out for more inspiration!
