Trainers focus on uploading static content on diverse legacy platforms. Learner engagement is minimal, and drop-out rates high. Less than 10% of educators and trainers measure the impact of online learning. The complete learning solution include: Easy to use platform Intuitive learning design Learning analytics The Claned platform includes built-in learning design elements that intuitively guide course creators to create better, more engaging, rewarding and valuable online courses. Engagement correlates with better learning outcomes, and the more learner engagement, the more learning impact data is gathered. Claned automatically collects data from every interaction that happens in the platform. Claned data identify learners who need support, lack challenge or contribute positively to the learning of others. The analytics provide means for the continuous course and overall learning improvement and link learning directly to organisational KPIs to measure the impact on business performance.
