How do you let people know there’s new training content in their LMS? The
if-you-build-it-they-will-come approach doesn’t work in L&D. Now, you need to
build the training, market it internally, give learners multiple ways to engage with
it, reward the effort, and then they’ll come.
With a modern LMS, you can create training alerts on users’ dashboards, send
email notifications and newsletters, display pop-up notifications, and even have
a news portal where users can quickly see what’s happening in the company.
Community functions, like discussion boards, allow learners to collaborate with
peers, instructors, and managers to keep the conversation going long after the
training course has ended.
Educational researchers have been touting the benefits of discussion features
in online learning for decades now because they allow participants to mindfully
reflect on their peers’ contributions before responding—and it may be one of the
most important elements of effective online training.
Incentives like points, leader boards, badges, and levels motivate users to engage
with your LMS and increase their “social capital.”
However, truly modern LMS platforms go the extra mile and allow users to trade
in their points for real-world rewards. They also allow users to enroll in contests
or sweepstakes, track their progress, and receive regular updates
