Here at Skilljar, we understand how important it is measure the quality of your training program. We've been working hard to bring you the most useful analytics. We're collecting an enormous amount of data, and our new, robust reporting makes it easier than ever for you to track user engagement and performance at every level.

In Skilljar's newly revamped learner tracking and reporting, we make it easy to view training in aggregate, by course, by group, and by user - even down to individual quiz responses by user.

Let's take a look at the details.

If you are selling online training courses, it's often challenging to select the right price point. Pricing varies considerably based on many factors, including industry, use case, and the expertise of the instructor. Unfortunately, there isn't a simple formula to follow to figure out the right price.

In this article, we look at considerations for pricing self-paced online courses. Here are 4 questions to run through as you develop your eLearning content. 

Learners are taking advantage of mobile learning more now than ever. If you have SCORM content, there’s a lot of confusing information to wade through on how SCORM can, and should, work on mobile devices. Does the mobile experience depend on the authoring tool used to create the content? How does your LMS affect SCORM delivery on mobile devices?

Since Skilljar recently released support for SCORM 1.2, we thought we’d take the opportunity to demystify the subject of SCORM on mobile. Skilljar’s software engineer and resident SCORM expert Morgan Marks shares her insight into key questions about delivering SCORM content on mobile devices.

We are happy to anounce our newest feature: analytics managers. At Skilljar, we understand that you may need to share read-only analytics access with other collaborators. Examples include:

• Customer success managers at a software company who are viewing onboarding progress for each of their client accounts
• School administrators who are verifying that teachers have completed their professional development training
• Certification managers who are checking the hours spent in an approved training course

Skilljar's analytics manager role enables administrators to create analytics-only access by user and group.

With our newest addition to registration management, instructors can customize the fields displayed to trainees during registration. This provides the opportunity for you to collect data about registrants that is unique to your company's needs.

Create a custom field to request information like:

• Company Name
• Employee ID
• State License #
• Address 

Most cloud based learning management systems (LMS) quote their pricing on a subscription basis. The primary scaling factor is typically users or active users, in addition to a la carte features. There are several definitions of "users" in the marketplace, which can cause confusion for purchasers.

In this post, we lay out three common definitions of "users." There are a few additional pricing models that exist, such as flat fee per registration or revenue sharing, but the vast majority of LMS systems base pricing on some variant of "users."

Since Skilljar's clients are often delivering customer-facing training, we are frequently asked about integrating our online training software with Salesforce. Salesforce is the leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Their flagship product, Sales Cloud, enables sales teams to easily organize and manage their potential customer pipeline.

(Although this article focuses on Salesforce.com, it is applicable to other CRM systems like Zoho CRM, SugarCRM, and Microsoft Dynamics.)

We've learned that the term 'Salesforce integration' can mean many things depending on the context. Here are 3 common use cases for connecting your LMS and CRM, along with how to automate training activities for each.

I love announcing new features! With our latest release, we can now deliver analytics for different groups of users, so trainers can review performance by group.

We are very excited to announce our newest feature: SCORM! With our newest feature, you can upload SCORM packages, register students (free or paid), deliver the course, and track completion and results. This includes content authored by tools like Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline and Articulate Studio. We wanted to take this opportunity to provide some details about SCORM and share some of our thoughts about the new feature, since it's a hot topic among the eLearning industry.
