10 Awesome Totara LMS Features Infographic

Totara LMS is an open source distribution of Moodle developed for the corporate and government market. Putting emphasis on the person not the course, Totara LMS allows you to better manage performance right across your organisation. This is a solution for aligning talent development with organisational strategies to meet the challenge of moving towards a performance management culture. The 10 Awesome Totara LMS Features Infographic showcases the top 10 features of Totara Learning Management System.

1. Learning and Performance Management

Give your learners constructive feedback so that they can improve the quality of their work. Company goals and/or individual goals are defined and may be assigned to learners based on the position they hold, the organisation they work in or other factors.

Personal and organisational goals feed into the learners development plan where both can be reviewed via the online appraisal or 360 tools.

2. Competency Management

Assign courses to competencies, and competencies to a particular job role or part of the organisation. A user’s learning plan can then automatically pull in all competencies and courses assigned to their organisation and job role. The Competency hierarchy allows you to set up one or multiple frameworks within Competency structures. These then define the skills, knowledge and behaviour used to assess staff performance.

3. Audiences

Totara LMS gives you more than just position and organisational hierarchies. With the Audiences features, you can create and target custom groups via dynamic rules and events.

Define, edit, and manage user groups using rules defined in other organisational data sources. Define audiences based on key events e.g. logins or completions. You can even define audiences based on other audiences!

4. Program Management

The Totara Program Management feature allows you to create learning paths by defining sets of courses and their dependences. These act as stepping stones for your learners and give order and flow of the course completion. Program Management also includes the ability to set up recurring courses, ensuring compliance and removing manual admin tasks. This feature also links with certification.

5. Certification

Site administrators create a new certificate with two paths: the original certification path and a recurring recertification path. The original path can be automatically reused as the recertification path or a separate path can be defined. To ensure compliance, automatic alerts and mails can also be configured to inform learners about refresher training.

6. Reporting and Dashboards

Totara LMS allows you to manage your reporting requirements, with the inbuilt Report Builder, a powerful and flexible tool that allows you to build custom reports on users, course progress and competency achievement across your business.

Graphical reports can be built by the system administrator with access controlled by system role and where in the organisation the user is.

7. Visibility Manager

Visibility Manager allows you to limit the catalogue so only specific learners can see courses, programs and certifications applicable to them based upon the audiences they are enrolled in.

8. Integration with HR and other business systems

To better manage and develop your talent, it’s essential your LMS connects with key business information systems. Maximize your return on investment and minimize your data entry tasks with HR Sync.

Totara LMS also integrates with every enterprise Single Sign On (880) and Shibboleth.

9. Highly customizable

Customising the look and feel of your Totara LMS is easy, and can be branded exactly the way you need it to look. Improve learner engagement by having your LMS look like an extension of your website, other internal systems or intranet sites. Learning Pool also offers a fully responsive theme, meaning learners can access the system on any device, any time, any place.
