Within the VAIRKKO Certification Cloud, there is a new feature that is extremely helpful to all users of the platform. Now the platform integrates with other calendar applications such as Outlook, Google Calendar and more to keep track of expiring certifications. What does this mean for end users? Now it is possible for each user to gain access to a unique subscription URL that syncs their expiring certifications, trainings and more and add it to their own calendars for management purposes. This means that end users do not need to log into the VAIRKKO platform to keep up to date with expiration's that need to continue to be monitored and updated.

VAIRKKO’s Certification Cloud has always had a feature that allowed administrators or managers within the system to create Compliance Rules. These rules were a way to measure an employee’s adherence to a set of rules whether required by a governing and oversight agency, or what is valued within an organization. Once compliance rules are set up, it takes a click of a button to measure every employee against the standard to ensure a company is meeting its compliance targets.

So, you’re looking for an LMS? Whether you’ve shopped around before, signed up with more than one, or are starting to look for your first - there are plenty of features and functions out there that you can find in every LMS.

Chances are you can name a few - authoring your own content, some sort of content libraries to supplement, quizzes, answer banks and more. Add in an extra layer or difficulty that your organization has lots of different learning needs that you are trying to meet within one system and things can get very messy, very quick. How do you prioritize which features are most important? How do you know you are choosing the best LMS?

If you work with a learning management system at an organization or business of any kind, it is likely that you are working to create courses and content for adult learners.

E-Learning is growing very popular, with new channels and mediums popping up what seems like daily, there are various types of learning happening. Learning on one’s own no longer means studying through purchased book materials and instead takes on the form of the popular Skillshare website, or even free university classes offered through online mediums. These classes come ripe with like-minded students that can oftentimes be more engaged than students that are forced to attend classes on subject matter they are not interested in. While there may be few students in each class that are not as engaged as others, there are support articles and an abundance of additional information available online to supplement learning and really propel the most successful uptake of the knowledge at hand.
