From the LMS login page to pages like My Learning and What’s New, LatitudeLearning offers a number of standard HTML blocks and pages that are completely customizable by our customers’ portal administrators. Our customers are using this capability to provide readily-available support information to students and managers, present regular updates about training content and offerings, and give users directions or other information about their training programs.
Need even more flexibility? Administrators can also create new HTML pages and link them from other pages. Envision a student-facing My Learning page with links to an internal LMS Support page or a monthly online update about new courses, processes, and coming events. Just add a new LMS page and start creating.
One of the most effective ways to brand your LMS as your own is to match color schemes and other page elements to your official corporate colors, including the page background, font and button colors, and more.
Stylesheets can vary through location and position-based branding options. This is particularly useful when an organization represents different customers and each customer’s learning environment can be given an experience that truly represents their own company.
Unique, company- or industry-related images lend visual interest for your learners and make your portal look more inviting and professional. There are several places to use imagery in the LMS:
One of the most important aspects of the LMS is the event-driven notification system that alerts students, managers, and administrators about training status, achievements, and the status of various actions, such as SCORM package upload or data import success or failure.
The LMS has a robust list of messages available for distribution by email and within the internal mailbox. Portal Administrators have broad control over the content of these messages, their active/inactive status, how they’re distributed, and to whom. They can also customize messages by organization level so they can be made relevant to the recipients under differing organizations. For instance, if a customer has business units (BU) in the U.S., Mexico, and France, the messages can be customized separately by BU to meet any language, process, or other requirements that vary between the units.
LatitudeLearning provides a number of configurable options for determining how your portal works. The LMS Information page is the primary place to set these options. The key configurations a portal admin can manager under this page include:
Latitude’s support team is available to configure options that are not available to administrators on this page.
The ability to manage the Navigation menu means you can control the features available to your users. The navigation menu is dynamic and for many features, such as My Team, Reports, and Approvals, they will only appear to users who have certain roles and managerial status.
These options … and more… are how LatitudeLearning is giving you the ability to make your LMS your own.
