arvato Systems is looking to impress customers with its arvato Learning Suite (aLS) training management software due to basic improvements to the basis technologies and three central function upgrades. “Our developers did a really good job of extending room management services, integrating the ILIAS open-source learning management system, and connecting the EvaSys evaluation software from Electric Paper,” emphasizes Dr. Jens Prager, Director of Business Development at arvato Systems.
A user interface with an intuitive drag-and-drop capability was specifically integrated into aLS for managing rooms with the aim of optimizing room utilization. As a result, events can be assigned to rooms in a scalable, calendar display. The aLS manages the waiting list for a room if a number of events are competing for the same slot in one room. As an option, room bookings can be labeled with a corresponding optional alternative date.
The significant improvements to the interface to the ILIAS open-source learning management system allow the aLS to offer the possibility to flexibly assign e-learning courses with all their components to events. The improvements also ensure that participants only have to log in to the LMS once (single sign-on) via their online portal and that results generated in e-learning elements in the aLS can be analyzed and used to determine learning outcomes.
The integration of EvaSys rounds off the new release. Surveys can now be automatically transferred from the aLS to EvaSys, which then conducts the evaluations either online or using printed paper forms. If, following the survey phase, any evaluations are present in EvaSys, an automatic export is made back into the aLS with reference to the corresponding event. Specific characteristics of events, such as locations and presenters, are automatically recognized without requiring any action on the part of the user.
“All in all, we’ve put together a convincing package that is going to impress our customers,” says a confident Dr. Jens Prager.
