PlayerLync, the market leader in modern learning software for the mobile workforce, launched an innovative solution that combines the full capabilities of Experience API (xAPI), a functional LRS (Learning Record Store), and dashboard reporting within the core PlayerLync application. The complexities that have historically prevented teams from capitalizing on the benefits of using mobile devices to deliver rich media and video training at the point of need are no longer a barrier through PlayerLync’s unique and integrated solution.
"PlayerLync is excited to enhance our mobile content delivery, team management and offline content availability with powerful multi-source xAPI eLearning capabilities," states Paul Bradley, head of Product at PlayerLync. "It's a game changer for both users and anyone involved in learning content because it delivers on the promise of xAPI analytics that managers have been seeking for years. More importantly, it avoids the need to invest in separate LRS and reporting tools, and that means IT also avoids time-consuming systems deployments and data integration projects. Delivering eLearning content, tracking learner performance and managing the flow of learning data across complex organizations has never been easier.”
This first of its kind solution is easily deployed and creates a simplified means to collect and report on performance information at any level of an organization. From groups to individual learners, PlayerLync now gives learning departments, or even franchisors and franchisees, the ability to dashboard valuable information that's critical to operational performance and improvement. Activity completion, behaviors, test results, compliance and even employee engagement can be correlated to yield insights for creating more effective learning content. Reporting is configurable so entities can choose only the information they want or need to see.
"Learning managers know how powerful xAPI can be within the performance environment, especially for mobile content delivery to teams that work on their feet. Customers view the legacy LMS systems that don’t provide this as inadequate and fossilized. So, we’ve essentially removed the complexity of leveraging xAPI so that managers can more easily focus on the things that matter most - learning, performance, improving customer experience and driving positive business outcomes," concludes Gary Iles, head of Marketing at PlayerLync.
