Post 2 - Employee Learning and Development.

This is a way of organization to cut down the cost and time in training sessions in the organization. Learning management system (LMS) is a software application using virtual or online in administration, reporting, and delivering e-learning courses or training program. As we know, when it is using internet connection, of course it will be able for us to use the system without going to any particular place as long as the place is connected with internet, right? Here we can see the benefit. 

When the system is in virtual type, some people might think that it will be not effective as face-to-face learning. Here I will highlight what are the benefits and advantages of using the virtual system. Using videos and slideshows, trainers will be able to deliver the presentation for so many times. It can be repeated? Yes, this is because all the data are saved in the system. So, any new employees that want to learn about the modules or courses, they can view it. They also can make revision since the data were there. Besides, they also can exchange information with other department about the learning. The information will be wider by sharing modules. 

View in this situation, I want to relate to the system in university. I think that lot of universities nowadays using the system that enables the students to save their time, and help the students to adapt with new technologies and new system. Students able to do revision by review the notes and information given by their lecturers. I think this is effective to be used widely in all universities.

On the other hand, using this system, we can test the understanding of employees about the learning by putting quizzes or tests with satisfactory score. It is also to ensure that the employees are paying attention the learning courses in the system. I think that this is important to be put in the system to measure the effectiveness of the system. 

View in this situation, if I am a person that responsible to establish this system, I think that I will make it more interesting to encourage new employees to use it. Decorate the system to look nice, arrange the elements to be friendly users, put all elements needed by the users so that any info required will be there and make the user easier to access.
