Great, you've got people signed up to your Intuto online training course. Now you need to help them complete it – and hopefully enjoy it too.

Here are five tips to motivate e-learners:

What's new?

We are very excited about this month's update - we have added some great new features around Certificates and Course Collections. These changes will allow for easier management of courses and enrolments. 

Specifically, the new course collections feature will provide pathways of learning, meaning you can control the order in which users complete content without having to enrol them one by one.

The biggest changes can be seen on the Site Settings -> Collections page accessible at the top left of Intuto next to your logo.

What's new?

We've updated Intuto with some changes to the Users and Settings pages. These changes have been made to help prepare the system for when we add more features, such as Course Collections, which are due in December.

We already know that onboarding training and maintenance training for staff are essential. But there is a key element of workplace training which is often ignored: tracking employee training.[line]

Tracking employee training is important for several reasons:

It helps you to know that your staff up to date with advances in industry, technology and legislation

When you assume you make an ass out of u and ur company. You should never assume that your staff is on top of any developments within the industry. Instead, you need to track their training and development. Keeping abreast of technology improvements and advancements keeps your staff at the top of their game. Making sure your staff are up to date with rules and regulations is especially important in terms of health and safety. It is your responsibility to monitor your employees' health and safety training and knowledge and ensure that they are well-versed in your OHS policies to protect them from accident or injury.

Essentially, franchising is a business relationship in which the franchisor (the owner of the business) allows independent people (the franchisees) to market and distribute their goods or services, and to use the business name and branding. To get that relationship working at its most efficient, we say online franchisee training is the best way to go.

Now that you've decided to create mobile training for hospitality, you'll want to include these features in your content:

KISS

A mobile training program so good you could kiss it? Not quite. Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Hospitality as an industry has several features which make it unique in the world of employment. Hours are irregular, scope of work can be huge, health and safety issues are paramount, employee personality and background vary, and turnover is often very high. For those reasons, mobile training for hospitality is the ideal way to approach all training and onboarding in the industry.

What’s New?

We’ve just updated Intuto with numerous bug fixes and some changes to the interface and navigation experience. The biggest change relates to the Content page where we’ve introduced a new grid view of your content and compressed the list view. This means it will no longer expand when you hover your mouse over it. This stops the page bouncing around which in extreme cases has been causing motion sickness.

It may seem counterintuitive, but hiring inexperienced employees and training them on the job can be good for your company.

The simple reason is that, initially at least, you will pay less to hire someone who still needs training than to hire an experienced worker. Obviously we aren't advocating for employing inappropriate staff. But offering people with less experience an opportunity will reduce the cost of the hire.

What's New?

May is the month of sharing and reporting. This update is focused on these two elements, with a rebuild of our sharing, user management and reporting tools for courses.
