How can online training momentum and motivation be maintained ?

The rewards, disciplines and potential for an online training certified courses or ILM qualifications, clearly represent significant motivation factors, as does the consequence of using the integrated 360 Performance Appraisal system, but in addition to these important contributors to maintain momentum also involves establishing an online training culture:

A typical portal plan in action:

It is the combination of reward and discipline within a learning culture that will deliver momemtum, results and benefits.

The Reward - All of the HRD Online training system's elearning courses have a knowledge quiz. Upon doing the quiz the date the elearning course was registered, the date the quiz was taken and the results of doing the quiz are recorded on the user's online training report. If a user successfully completes a Content Quiz, the elearning system will allocate Continuous Professional Development (CPD) hours to the users CPD record. If a corporate blended training solution is required then CPD hours could contribute credits towards an ILM Qualification.

The Discpline - Every HRD Online training user is a member of at least one master group and every master group has at least one controller. (A HRD Online training system group controller could be that group's line manager, training manager, or coach, or all three).

In addition to using the system to conduct knowledge tests and performance appraisals the users line or HRD Manager can:

• produce a number of management repors profor the group (date range based)
• send group, or individual group member, email, and
• access group members personal records, where they can:
• view their online training system usage and online training results
• update their goals and action plans
• register them for online training courses
  

The system's push learning technology, plus peer users, and user management are all combining to "PUSH" the user through required learning activity - with the possibility of a good appraisal or an ILM qualification waiting as a reward (the "PULL" factor)

Effective value adding online training - We believe that with CPD hours mounting, and feeding performance reviews and personal development action plans, and possibly contributing towards professional ILM qualifications, the HRD Online training system not only maintains elearning momentum, and motivation, but actively promotes life-long learning.
