Does that sound familiar? Are you also struggling to evaluate the training progress of your employees in LearnDash? Do you wish you could evaluate your learners without wasting time in data collection?
As an online trainer, it’s natural to focus all your energy on crafting the perfect training course.
But when it comes to LMS reporting and measuring training outcomes, making sense of vague training parameters can get overwhelming.
To assess the ‘real training progress’ you need to track their engagement, participation, and progress in your courses. Apart from that, you will also need to address any training challenges and assist your employees if they need help.
In that case, LMS reports that measure all learning data like:
- course progress & engagement
- learner activity & performance
- quiz statistics, among other things, can save you loads of time.
But merely looking at this LMS data is not enough. You need insights to analyze the learning outcome of your training program and make informed decisions.
