As the global pandemic continues to impact work and life, we predict that learning and development will become increasingly more important. Whether you\u2019re taking this time to upskill more employees, or preparing for what comes next, we are here helping you along the way.<\/p>\n

So in this update, we focused on features to make your training more successful. And, we simplified processes to make TalentLMS even easier to use.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see what\u2019s new.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new essential: Virtual instructor-led training<\/h2>\n

Zoom. Webinars. Virtual instructor-led training. As many of you move your face-to-face training online, we\u2019ve seen an increase in the number of users participating in webinars.<\/p>\n

To help, we\u2019ve doubled the slots per conference<\/strong> to 40 participants when you use our built-in integration with video conferencing tool, BigBlueButton.<\/p>\n

And to make admin life even easier, you can now add users to a conference en masse<\/strong> by course or group.<\/p>\n

Ain\u2019t nobody got time for that: Certifications<\/h2>\n

In this update, we\u2019ve made it that much easier to track, download, and share certificates. Whether you\u2019re using certificates for compliance training, or as part of a certification program, this could slash hours off your admin time.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll no longer need to log into TalentLMS to download a certificate. Now, by setting up one notification, the system will email course certificates in bulk directly to your inbox. Using a unique URL, you\u2019ll be able to download and save them.<\/p>\n

You can also share certificates with your learners this way. Learners can download them directly from their inbox, too.<\/p>\n

New Rules: Reporting<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re continually improving our reporting functionality, and in this update, we focused on Custom Reports.<\/strong> Now, it’s easier for you to dive deeper into your platform’s data and find the exact information you need.<\/p>\n

Not only can you run reports on user-specific attributes (for example, users who belong to branch x, users enrolled in course y), but now you can run reports on a course level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This new functionality means you can generate a learning progress report based on users and courses<\/strong>, giving you a much richer and granular set of data.<\/p>\n

The new course rules include:<\/p>\n
