SOLO is an on-line training system that allows you to store linked training events and deliver them to staff in a controlled, monitored way.
It has been introduced for 3 main reasons:
-
To provide on-demand training for users who get stuck during the course of their working day;
-
To provide initial training to users coming into contact with your software, systems and processes for the first time;
- To give HR and training departments a way of delivering training that makes a contribution to the continuing professional development (CPD) of their staff.
On-demand training is vital for staff during the early stages of the implementation of new products, processes and systems.
SOLO's easy navigation and intuitive user interface allows people to access the support and training they need immediately - no more waiting for the "next training course" - no more calls to help desks. Learn what you need to and get on with your life.
Initial training is important in all environments but especially those with high staff attrition. Initial training is not only for those entering the company but also for people moving into new roles or for people whose role is changing.
SOLO has been successfully used by thousands of staff across the world to help them get up and running with new processes and computer systems. When it comes to large roleouts there really is no alternative to e-learning. Our web-based system means that trainers in completely different locations can work together on building training material of a consistent standard then deliver that content to anyone, anywhere based on their training needs, NOT their geographical location.
Making sure that staff skills and knowledge is always up to date can be a real headache. Staff also need a way of making sure their own professional development is not forgotten.
If people can access the training they need, when they need it, they are much more likely to stay up to date with the products and services they have to deliver and use within their company. SOLO is hosted by Learning Foundry so mobile staff can access the training they need from multiple work locations, hotels, or even on the move with a 3G connection. And yes, we are working on an iPhone app!
Language Support
SOLO is entirely multilingual. When you create training material, you create it using the base language of your company and from there you can translate it into ANY other language. SOLO comes with 4 base languages but your can add your own. SOLO supports any left-to-right, binary character language.
Search Facilities
Accessing the exact training you need, especially if you are stuck, is really important. SOLO allows you to select from a list of course, use the built-in map to locate the material by subject or topic or carry out a system-wide search based on key phrases or subject matter.
The SOLO Map
Talking of the map, SOLO allows you to access a helicopter view of all the training material you have access to using a simply, clickable, expanding map. From the map you can view course details or jump straight into a training event.
MySOLO
MySOLO is the first thing that the user will see when they enter SOLO. It provides them with a handy starting point since it shows them their favourites, their training history and any messages the administrator may have sent.
