Advantages

Revolutionise the way you manage learnerships and skills programmes.

1. Satisfy legislative requirements for capturing and maintaining learners' records.

2. Produce SETA and other reports at the click of a button.

3. Track learners' progress and be warned of those who are struggling or not keeping pace.

4. Store all learners' portfilio data electronically and reduce the risk of loosing paper-based data.

5. Significantly reduce administration time by allowing the LMS to do the hard work through its scheduling and workflow processes.

6. Improve the flow and speed of communication between all role players. For example:

Once a learner submits an assignment it is instantly available to an Assessor for marking;
Once an assessment has been marked the result and feedback are instantly available to the learner and System Administrator;
Once a learner as been enrolled he/she gets notified immediately and can get instant access to their learning resources. (This is after all the age of instant gratification!)

7. Reduce the costs associated with delivering learning. For example:

7.1 Printing. Storing data electronically means you have a reduced need to print documents such as learners' portfolios, training material, assessment guides and questionnaires.

7.2 Travel. In the extreme the Tawanda LMS enables you deliver your qualifications entirely via distance learning. However, since this may not always be desirable you can strive to leverage the LMS to achieve the best possible ratio between face-to-face learning and distance learning.

7.3 Classroom time. Free up your training resources, both human and infrastructural, by placing as much of the learning material on-line as is possible without compromising the quality of learning. Just ask yourself, how much time do your trainers spend in the classroom dealing with material that could be acquired through self-study. This will free them up to focus on the challenging material or those parts that need human interaction and mediation.

7.4 Assessing. Using the rich array of question types available in the Tawanda LMS you can save valuable assessment time and money by reducing your dependence on Assessors. The LMS allows you to devise an assessment strategy that will optomise your resources through the clever use of technology.

8. Keep important role players such as managers, SDFs, Administrators, Assessors and Moderators informed of key information to their role though the batch reporting capability of the Tawanda LMS.

9. Reduce frustration levels by relying on the LMS to take the manual "slog" out of the learning process.

10. Online marking of assessment scripts and assignments means that the process is speeded up and there is no need to pass paper portfolios back and forth.

11. Online access to learners' portfolios by internal and external moderators' means that they have immediate access to the full history of the learners' portfolios while they are moderating.

12. Protect your sensitive information by manging the access permissions of all users.

13. World-wide accessibility means that learners can instantly access their learning material and assessments anywhere at any time through a standard web browser.

14. The audit trail and tracking function keeps track of many key user actions.

15. The program has already been deployed and is working hard for our clients.

16. The many configuration options ensure that the program is flexible to your needs.

17. The accounting functions allow you to keep an eye on the finanial situation with ease.

18. The e-Course capability is flexible enough for you to develop rich web-based material and works seamlessly with any program that can produce html code, such as MS PowerPoint.
