Implementing a new Learning Management System (LMS) can be a daunting task for any training manager. Ensuring that your LMS is set up correctly from the start is crucial for the success of your training programs. LatitudeLearning understands these challenges, which is why we developed SurefireSetup™ – a comprehensive process designed to guarantee a successful and efficient LMS implementation.
SurefireSetup™ is our proven methodology to expertly manage your LatitudeLearning LMS implementation from beginning to end. We understand that effectively managing a training program within an LMS requires seamless integration of key learning management workflows. Our SurefireSetup™ process is meticulously crafted around the understanding of these workflows, ensuring your training program is not just implemented, but optimized within the LatitudeLearning system.
Our approach is structured into three distinct yet interconnected stages: Requirements, Planning, and Implementation.
Requirements Stage: Defining Your Training Goals
The foundation of a successful LMS setup lies in clearly defined objectives. In the Requirements Stage, we collaborate closely with you to pinpoint your launch and annual training goals. This crucial step ensures that the LMS configuration directly supports your strategic training initiatives.
Planning Stage: Blueprinting Your LMS Success
A well-thought-out plan is paramount. The Planning Stage of SurefireSetup™ is designed to equip you with the knowledge and understanding necessary for long-term LMS management. This stage includes:
Tools Bootcamp Training: Mastering Your LatitudeLearning LMS
To empower you to effectively manage your LMS, we provide our exclusive Tools Bootcamp Training. This comprises six hours of personalized, one-on-one sessions. You’ll gain hands-on experience with over 70 configuration and operational tools within LatitudeLearning. This training covers essential aspects such as:
- Organizing users and roles
- Structuring learning content
- Customizing the user experience
- Managing user enrollments
- Tracking learner progress
By the end of Tools Bootcamp, you will possess a comprehensive understanding of the LatitudeLearning toolkit and how to leverage it to enhance your training program.
Requirement Analysis: Tailoring the LMS to Your Program
With a solid grasp of the LMS tools, we move to in-depth Requirement Analysis. This phase focuses on understanding the specific needs of your training program. We work together to determine the optimal way to translate your existing training program elements into the LatitudeLearning LMS environment.
Solution Checkpoint: Aligning Requirements and Implementation
Before moving to implementation, the Solution Checkpoint serves as a crucial review. We revisit the Requirement Analysis, confirm project timelines, and ensure that your program requirements are perfectly aligned with the LatitudeLearning LMS blueprint. This checkpoint guarantees a smooth and targeted implementation process.
Implementation Stage: Bringing Your LMS to Life
The final stage is where your customized LatitudeLearning LMS takes shape:
Configure Your LMS: Setting Up Your Tailored Platform
Based on the detailed Requirements Analysis, our team expertly configures your LMS. This includes:
- System instantiation
- Configuration of positions, majors, and course topics
- Branding with your header logo, custom certificates, images, color schemes, and HTML content blocks
- Loading of users, organizations, and course content
Acceptance Test: Ensuring Quality and Functionality
Prior to launch, we conduct thorough acceptance testing in a dedicated testing environment. This ensures your LMS functions as expected and meets all the requirements outlined in the initial analysis.
Go Live: Launching Your Ready-to-Use LMS
Once the LMS successfully passes acceptance testing, you are ready to launch! We handle the deployment of your LMS to the production environment, making it accessible to your users.
Post Launch Support: Ongoing Assistance and Expertise
To ensure a seamless transition, SurefireSetup™ includes 14 days of post-launch support from the dedicated Setup Team. After this initial period, ongoing support is seamlessly transitioned to our ClientCare Team, ensuring you have continuous assistance as you manage your LatitudeLearning LMS.
With LatitudeLearning’s SurefireSetup™, implementing your LMS becomes a streamlined and successful journey, setting the stage for impactful and effective training programs.
