In this technology-driven world it is important for companies to motivate employees to accomplish new skills and knowledge.<br />
<br />
Employees are the company! They need to know that their managers genuinely care and are committed to support their professional advancement and even their personal growth.<br />
<br />
Employee development is a long-term initiative, but it also leads to short-term benefits like increased loyalty and improved performance and engagement.<br />
<br />
Max DePree once said: ‘We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are’. It is important to understand that success begins when we start growing personally and professionally.<br />
<br />
One of the many ways to build soft and professional skills are:<br />
<br />
<b>• Professional Training</b> – Employee training may be required to ensure competency and even excellence. Being excellent at what you do is very important, but passing on this excellence to new hires then creates an outstanding team. As previously mentioned, employees are the company, so having the best means being the best.<br />
<br />
<b>•Feedback sessions</b> – Being interested in your employees and sharing with them positive and negative feedback shows concern. This way managers and employees, together, can fix issues and discuss future success and growth.<br />
<br />
<b>• Coaching</b> – Being there when you are needed. Some employees may not have enough experience and telling them what to do may not be the right way. The more conceivable approach would be by setting aside time to show them the process they are struggling with. Every employee is different, therefore coaching tactics may change from team to team or even employee to employee.<br />
<br />
<b>• Develop ‘Soft skills’ </b>– Teaching employees how to communicate and read body language is extremely important. When the team is in harmony and they have the correct communication, work gets done more efficiently and the achievements are immense.<br />
<br />
By helping your team develop the skills listed, you are just one step away from growing and improving your business.<br />
<br />
Ayris can help companies by:<br />
<br />
• Allowing managers to assigning courses, submit tests or surveys to employees to help them develop personally or professionally.<br />
<br />
• Help them create programs and establish gradual learning plan.<br />
<br />
• Build beautiful courses using different course formats (including SCORM).<br />
<br />
• Take advantage of corporate branding and own storage space!<br />
<br />
Ayris is a clever way to check how your team is doing. To be productive and develop new skills it is important to constantly learn. Ayris can help managers to connect with their team’s results, development and to be aware of their team’s achievements. And most of all, Ayris can make your employees feel free and confident in finding their way to be better than yesterday.<br />

Management System (LMS)?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">LMS is a software application, that creates, delivers and
manages eLearning content. The most key factors in LMS purchase decision are functionality,
price and support. Top of desired features are Live/Video Conference, ITM,
Mobile learning, Gamification. The most used are Assessment/Testing Tools and
Blended Learning, but the lack of certain features remains the biggest
dissatisfaction. However, setting up an LMS is just one step, which includes
involvement to establishing connection with the company requirements. So, it is
important to choose the right LMS for your needs.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">What is a good LMS?</span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">A good LMS platform should be capable of managing a large
amount of data easily for many users. It needs to possess a friendly interface
for users and administrators or the so-called Application Program Interface
(API). The platform should have specified reports, which are formed from the requirements
of the company. Considerations must be the portability and scalability of the
system. Another aspect with immense importance is the administration of the
LMS. This includes the management of complex recourses, trainers, training
inventories, rooms, planning of training sessions, tracking feedback, and
notifications to end users.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">What is the future
face of LMS?</span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">The LMS will become more individualized – to schools and to
teachers. There will be personal applications, that can be plugged together in
kind of self-personalizing environment. Popular use today has the Learning
Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard, which is created by the IMS Global
Learning Consortium. LTI links content and resources to LMS's. Its purpose is
to connect the LMS with external service tools in a standard way across
learning systems.</span></div>

Digital Learning Environment (NGDLE)</b> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">NGDLE envisions what is the next thing that is not an LMS that
can help manage digital learning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">There are five different dimensions of NGDLE:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">1. Interoperability and integration - allows the parts to be
connected and to share data.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">2. Personalization - learning environments and activities
can be tailored to individual users.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">3. Analytics, advising and learning assessment - so that
course level learning analytics as well as planning advising systems that have
focused on student success can be part of this environment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">4. Collaboration - imply several types of interaction - student
to student, student to faculty, faculty to faculty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">5. Accessibility and universal design - so that everybody
can access education.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Referring to these dimensions of NGDLE to build individual
components (bricks), the options for customization and personalization are
infinite. This is the same as Lego analogy and as institutions, students,
trainers, the NGDLE will prompt us to take the role of individual creators.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Therefore, NGDLE can be implemented like a Lego</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">.
The experts are stating that the possible future of LMS will be the
implementing of NGDLE.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">We are living in a world with endless information. This
information elevates the capabilities of our companies. Learning Management
Systems are the modern way to continue the path of gaining the knowledge in a
very efficient and remarkable manner, which is developing the look of our existence
in the technology world.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">In our service and information driven economy, talented people are your most precious commodity. That is why having a personal growth strategy for your employees is a foundational concept in company and employee engagement, and something you cannot ignore. An atmosphere of continual growth is no longer just a desire, it is a necessity for companies that do not want to experience high turnover. When you have an environment where your employees are engaged by their work, you will notice higher levels of productivity. Therefore, it is crucial to connect the organizations mission with everyone’s activities.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Employee engagement is the extent to which an employee’s personal goals and interests align with the vision and goals of the company at which they are employed.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">It is no secret that education is one of the best ways individuals can develop new skills and knowledge that they can directly apply to their roles. That is why education is one of the most worthwhile investments your company can make. If you do not have the budget to subsidize an educational program, there are plenty of more options and tools like Ayris that offer great alternatives.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Employee learning is becoming more “consumer like” where audiences search out and choose content for themselves. Micro-learning is a way of teaching and delivering content to learners in small, very specific bursts. At Ayris managers and/or admins can create, modify and share their own learning objectives, the learners are in control of what and when they are learning, and it is a growing trend in Learning Management Systems.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Learning and development opportunities are among the largest drivers of employee engagement and strong workplace culture. Providing learning and development opportunities to individuals show that you are willing to invest in them as a person. On-the-job education has much more impact on employee performance as formal classroom learning does and considerably increases employee engagement. The transition from passive learning to productive learning can yield significant improvement in employees analytical and social skills. By contributing and participating to the learning process, team members will be more engaged with their work and improve at working together.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">With the right knowledge, the right tools, and most importantly the proper mindset, it can be a powerful way to transform your organization and improve your bottom line.</span><br />

Heraclitus once said: <em>There is nothing permanent except change</em>. We live in an ever-changing environment, in a society that is transforming every second, in a world that has gradually evolved into a highly industrialized technology-reliant economy. This new era is driven primarily by knowledge, which is regarded as an important asset that leads to economic prosperity.<br />
<br />
While technology is infused in almost every aspect of our lives, the knowledge-based economy is not just about the technology itself. It is rather about being able to upgrade your skills and adapt yourself to the constantly changing working environment. When it comes to recruiting new employees, the emergence of the knowledge-based economy puts more stress on the level of education and training. People and businesses alike are striving to learn faster and more effectively than their competitors in the jobs market. The level of one’s competence, skills, education and abilities are of increasing importance. Hence, the knowledge-based economy is global and influences everyone. Only those who are flexible enough and willing to adapt to different kinds of work will be able to handle and benefit from the constant changes happening. <br />
<br />
According to an extensive psychological study, the most adaptive people are not those who are better educated, smarter, or have fancier job titles. Surprisingly, the ones who find it easier to adapt are those who are ready to take a step forward and embrace the change. Ayris will enable you to feel and respond to the changes around you with just a few clicks. With its incredibly user-friendly interface, Ayris makes it easier than ever to share your ideas or upgrade your teams knowledge on any topic at a moment’s notice. Moreover, by designing your own online content, you have the chance to distribute the right content to the right people and spread the wind of change in your business organization. Be the change you want, be adaptive. Take a step forward with Ayris.<br />

It is important to hire operation specialists according to the needs of your company to ensure business processes are well handled. New hires take time to adapt to their new workspace and expectations. As a hiring manager, or team lead, you will have to monitor their performance and results while the employees are acclimating themselves to their daily workload. This adjustment period, depending upon the complexity of the job, can vary from one month to six or even nine months and beyond.<br />
<br />
Once the employee has settled in with their daily workload and expectations, making sure the employee can perform and execute their daily activities in accordance with the project timeline is next necessary step. But what happens when your employees are not constantly being challenged enough, their critical thinking abilities decrease, and the monotony of repetitive tasks prevail? How do you keep the interest of your employees in their current position? How do you keep the investment you have made in their development? The answer always lies in the learning process.<br />
<br />
Provide your employees with tools and encouragement to learn new skills. This will not only continue to push your employees to grow and develop, but it will increase the scope and capability of your entire team. Let them see that they are part of something bigger than what is needed to be accomplished today. Allow them to see that what they need to accomplish today is part of a bigger picture, not just to check off a box on a project plan, but how it impacts the end result. Employees need to be encouraged to not only think outside the box, but learn outside of it too.<br />
<br />
With courses based on digital marketing, sales, personal finance, and other courses based on specific job profiles - you, as a manager, can strengthen the company loyalty enormously. All you need to do is select a course and assign it. From there, you may think of creating a mentoring program for your young employees, so they learn from the experience and sound advice of various professionals within your organization. Employee training programs are another direct investment in your company and serve as a proof that you value your people and want them to grow. They will get the notion that this is not just another six-month job improve resume, but a work-based university of personal and professional development.<br />
<br />
Today you have the chance to break the work-for-salary mentality and give your employees a meaningful experience while doing their job. All it takes is to start paying attention to what their learning needs are and help them grow. You start doing that by providing them with knowledge via the right tool – a Learning Distribution System.Vasil Bogoevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16999705190222952702noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405065548400097532.post-3038013287623481732018-01-22T00:09:00.000-08:002018-11-08T23:58:56.806-08:00Ayris - the 2017 in review and what's to come in 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a grand year for Ayris! Our application matured with another amazing year of development and enhancements across several areas. In 2017, we improved many of Ayris’ components thanks to suggestions and “wishes” from our clients. Below we will highlight some of these components:<br />
<br />
• <b>Company branding</b> – Now with your first login, you can transform Ayris to look as your own custom made tool. Incorporate your company logo, background color, and menu colors right from your company branding Ayris page. Changes are implemented immediately and can be constantly updated by your team to keep up with ever changing corporate branding.<br />
<br />
• <b>Enhanced programs functionalities</b> – Create a learning program that Ayris will automatically assign throughout the lifecycle of the campaign. Create 30, 60 or 90-day events for your onboarding process of your new hires! Customize the timeline to fit your needs by adding multiple events in a smooth and easy way that allows you to attach and customize notifications, courses, and reports to each event on the go!<br />
<br />
• <b>Additional content storage for your learning materials</b> – Load any type of document into Ayris and easily share the downloadable link with colleagues. You can even take it a step further and add these documents as reportable courses to assign to your end users! Ayris Content Storage allows you to build folder structure and set privacy settings on documents you load. Keep all of your content and source files in one program.<br />
<br />
• <b>Import course completions </b>– Whether you want to quickly add completion of a course or you wish to upload mass completions to transfer learning history from a previous LMS – this simplified process is possible in just a few easy steps with Ayris.<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD6YXwFECLwOGqiP3b_5QpYhOtbGGEhX7_sCN4uCR9plOBxQbXy73O39RNWZBHt1DmAmmnoZTGpIrxMM_dxHbiCE17OfEOhYKF7mIUcv52dA0j5hrmeaZxkqfU63QH4ZmVeu-1G5fJbb8/s1600/Five-ways-Ayris.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="874" data-original-width="1280" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD6YXwFECLwOGqiP3b_5QpYhOtbGGEhX7_sCN4uCR9plOBxQbXy73O39RNWZBHt1DmAmmnoZTGpIrxMM_dxHbiCE17OfEOhYKF7mIUcv52dA0j5hrmeaZxkqfU63QH4ZmVeu-1G5fJbb8/s320/Five-ways-Ayris.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
Many learning organizations own and offer valuable content but often fail to present it in an attractive way. As a result, organizations are unable to reach a wider audience and achieve the goals they are trying to reach. What are the tricks to increase your course engagement? Based upon the OutCons team’s years of experience, here are some suggestions below:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Browse trending headlines to select topics</b><br />
<br />
Keep up to date with the most recent developments in your industry and always try to be one step ahead of your audience and the rest of the eLearning industry. People want to learn about what is new in their business niche. For instance, if they want to start trading Bitcoins, provide them with all of the relevant information about it – what they should know before they start, what to watch for, how to mitigate their risks, etc. You can always improve your existing course list. Just try to be in line with the ongoing trends and tailor it to your audience.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Customize your content by interest groups </b><br />
<br />
While you are adding value to your course materials, why not study your selected audience a little closer too. Group your contacts by interest and create different groups for each one of your topics. Look for branches within your learning organization, areas of professional development, or self-improvement topics. This way you can differentiate your types of audience and create custom content grouping. Pick the suitable courses for each group so you can satisfy personalized learning needs. In cases where the content is required, make sure you make it as short and as effective as possible to it peaks and holds the interest of the required group.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Create original content and ensure it is visually appealing</b><br />
<br />
Make your content attractive and visually pleasing. This is probably the most important thing in online education today. According to The Telegraph, people have shorter attention spans (because of massive usage of the smartphone), which only lasts for eight seconds. Yes, if you don’t catch the attention of your audience within this timeframe, you probably won’t catch it at all. Be creative and entertaining, improve and upgrade your learning materials constantly.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Work your groups</b><br />
<br />
Managing your learning group is a process, not a one-time, set-up case. You need to be active and engaged with all participants. Start an industry related community and post information, start chats, update statuses about the nature of your learning content and create a community of learning.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Ask industry influencers for quotes</b><br />
<br />
Quote
people who have taken your courses in the past, especially if they are
recognized as leaders in your industry or organization. You can get
creative and use tools like <a href="https://www.canva.com/" target="_blank">Canva</a> to improve the visual representation
of the quote itself. Individuals like to be associated with famous and
influential people, so if you know someone appropriate, don’t forget to
contact that person for a quote.<br />
<br />
Always keep in mind that
you are not promoting just a course. You are promoting your services,
your company and your brand. Make sure that you present your courses
well and get closer to and work with your audience groups. Do not get in
a passive mode. If you do your homework and create courses of interest
to your audience, your audience will grow. <br />

With so many distractions, staying focused on anything is a real
challenge. At OutCons, we aim to change that and enable quality learning. Too
many people get carried away by social media and their smart phone apps, which turn
out to be a burden for lifelong learning and successful career development. One
research suggests that the average person unlocks their phone 110 times a day!
If we assume that a person’s day is 16 hours long, that accounts for roughly
one smart phone pick-up every 15 minutes! And if all other activities the
average working person has are added, it makes it very difficult for an
educator to help someone learn, stay focused, and remember the learning
material in order to implement it later.</div>

<b>How can you help your learners focus on the content?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Organize!</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-outline-level: 1; text-indent: -.25in;">

of</b> <b>the learning process</b>. Make
sure you establish an easy to understand schedule and course length. In our
experience, breaking up learning into smaller chunks (5-10 minutes max) will
help your learners focus and then get the break they are looking for. A good distribution system (like Ayris) can
help you distribute multiple chunks of learning, let your learners step away
and then promt them to return through notifications and events. Within the
calendar in the Programs menu of Ayris, you can schedule events for the
upcoming weeks, months or even years. All you need to do is plan and organize
the events, and Ayris will do the rest for you.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Set Goals/Gates</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b>
<b>Set goals</b> after
each step of the education process. Setting an exam or questionnaire survey to
supplement each course will allow you to keep track of learners’ performance
and knowledge obtained. Engage all users by setting personal goals too. This
will challenge the learners and they will be more willing to commit to the task
and complete it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. Communicate the Schedule</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Make learners aware
of</b> <b>the time</b> they need to
accomplish the course. If they are behind
schedule, you have the option to send them a customized notification to proceed
with the assignment when they can, by utilizing distribution tools like Ayris. All
you need to do is be realistic about these time estimates and give students
ample time to accomplish the course at their own pace. In this way, you will
also have an indication of how committed the student is to learn and develop.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many organizations we have worked with have giant libraries
of content. One client we worked with had almost a one learning course per
employee! This client continued to post
new courses in an effort freshen up their available courses, but failed to
retire out dated content. This made it difficult for users to find new and
releveant training. Distributions system make it so only the courses that are
assigned to users are available to view.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once your learners have gone through their program, allow
for time to apply the learning and relax to prepare for the next challenge!<o:p></o:p></div>

Good news for everyone working with course completions! Batch course completion is now available on Ayris and this means two things for all of our users - smooth course completion process and peace of mind. If you have used another learning management solution in the past or you currently need to upload course completions for existing courses, our neat new feature will help you bring all of those learning history records on Ayris in no time.<br />
<br />
You can access this feature on the "Learning" tab and then navigate to the "Manage Course Completions" menu. From there you will be able to select the courses for which you wish to submit course completions, for as many users as you like.<br />
<br />
The other great add-on to this menu and probably the most important feature for learning managers is the mass upload of course completions from file. The "Import from CSV" button is created to help you upload learning completions quickly and easy. Once you press the button, a pop-up window opens allowing you to download a template which shows how course completions must be entered to successfully import them on Ayris. On the same window, you can also find brief instructions to support your successful submission of course completions on Ayris.

Learning management systems serve great purposes today. They are a powerful tool in the hands of the companies who decided to constantly develop and widen the horizon for their employees and management staff. Companies with an LMS in their possession are constantly building learning materials related to the area of business and shaping it into online courses, surveys, and exams, etc. Most of the time getting this learning content accessible by their employees results in months of complicated content integration. But let’s skip this part and try to observe a common fact that happens next – people are not willing to go to LMS’s unless they are going for company mandated content. Courses like workplace safety, fire safety, company culture and trainings are among the best examples. Why is that?<br />
<br />
Employees typically try to get closer to the state in which they are comfortable in doing their job and at the same time the manager is satisfied with the results. This makes them willing to cover whatever job related course is assigned to them. But going out on their own, registering for classes, searching for courses to improve their job, and taking classroom courses to do so, is a rare occurrence unless they are specifically tied to new job title. What we did with our learning distribution system is cut short that distance between learning content and learner for the learning professionals. Months of content integration with complicated LMS now can be used by learning managers to better understand their employees’ needs. Lost hours on low content quality can be used to develop better structured and more engaging content so people can learn with ease, at their own pace. Most importantly, from a user’s perspective, is they do not even have to register for the system – you get what is distributed to you by your manager, team lead to you in your email and launch right from your inbox, regardless of device. Really, as simple as that and managers can still track completions.<br />
<br />
Learning today is not just having content. It is about making it accessible and easy to reach. People lose interest really quick and shorting the distance between learner and the learning material is key. It’s like creating a market place, matching supply and demand for knowledge. <a href="http://www.goayris.com/" target="_blank">Ayris</a> serves this exact purpose but better – making it easy and fast for everyone involved.<br />

The way each one of us see things in life is different. Also the way we all do things in life is different as well and thank God, because every day this creates awesome achievements made by great personalities. We often want to learn more about how these people accomplish these things in order to apply it to our own work. We quickly start to use their technique but soon find out that we come up with mixed results and we struggle to reach our desired goal. The template we chose to follow is somehow not right. So how do great athletes do this? How can their techniques be applied to online learning to enhance learners’ education?<br />
<br />
Athletes most often surround themselves with the best equipment they can afford. Educational organizations tend to do the same in order to create great online learning content. However, if the equipment, or learning solution can only get you so far. At some point it is on the learning organization to properly utilize the new solution. Even the best baseball bat there is and the most expensive football shoes can’t make someone a great baseball or football player. The same it is with learning – even the best LMS or the best tool for creating online courses out there doesn’t ensure improved skills and qualities in employees once it is completed. It will however provide the users, or athletes the means to reach their goals.<br />
<br />
Athletes and learners must absorb the specific exercises and the assigned learning content until it is second nature for them. Work ethics and consistency creates the difference in education the same way it does it with sports. The greatest athletes are magically gifted with talent, but what sets them apart is their willingness to perfect their craft. Whether it be studying film, physical drills to improve their given talent, the best are always improving. If you’re an athlete that is going into a slump, you are going to step back and make some adjustments. That starts with re-evaluating your approach, define possible causes of the issues, try not to repeat it and do the process again and again. How is that related to online education? Great athletes and great employees are bred, their qualities are constantly improving day after day to reach perfection. They simply have to follow their methodology consistently.<br />
<br />
Therefore we have to distribute learning content as a sports exercise. Every fitness instructor will tell you “You can’t stay in shape if you do not maintain your body every day”. It is one thing to reach a fit body, the hard part is to maintain it. The same it is with the mind – you must keep it in shape in order to provide you with added value. As the great Dale Carnegie says “Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind”.<br />
<br />
Ayris, the learning distribution system that we created focuses on this – providing the fastest and easiest way for both teachers (learning professionals, content creators) and learners (students, employees) to exchange knowledge. Providing the environment and facilitating the process between the two parties by providing the supply (learning content from the learning professionals) and the demand (from the students and employees) is existential to improve both. It helps companies in their desire to reach their staff easily and distribute the learning content they need on every day basis to become better employees inside and outside of the office. It does the same for all occupations and professions, it can be used by students, yoga groups, sports coaches, teachers, learning managers and many more to distribute their learning content among their peers. The sky is the limit when it comes to different purposes that Ayris can be used for. Simply create great learning content, let <a href="http://www.goayris.com/" target="_blank">Ayris</a> distribute it, and make sure it is used as a sport exercise for the mind – you will be surprised by the results.<br />

We have come to an age where we share everything. It's been part of the human nature for centuries. We help others in order to create a more sustainable environment but a term like "sharing economy" has never been more important in any point in time than now. Sharing knowledge has pioneered the sharing economy, followed by sharing transportation, houses, or home improvement tools. We now have numerous free courses and platforms providing free education, but when we come to closed environments like working groups or companies, we face another challenge - we need to dig deep into our pockets and allocate budgets for having a trusted LMS (Learning Management System).<br />
<br />
The question here is how do we retain our employees via improvements and continuous development, in order to strengthen our productivity and reduce unnecessary costs. We can make people go and watch a video on an external platform like YouTube, but how do we track their attendance, views, or actual accomplishments of the assigned job? How do we track progress, how do we extract surveys and follow up on tasks associated with the learning content? How do we offer access to such a service so that it is affordable to every individual or legal entity? Those are the questions that the developers from <a href="http://www.outcons.com/" target="_blank">OutCons</a> asked themselves when they created Ayris.<br />
<br />
With <a href="http://blog.outcons.com/2016/07/the-new-disruptor-learning-distribution.html" target="_blank">Ayris</a> you are in possession of your own content and you are provided with the means to create, distribute and track it as you wish. Every company has such content, this content can range from an internal procedure document or price sheet, to online articles and videos. However, for items that don't go into your LMS, yet you share with employees, it is hard to track and report on actual consumption of the content and knowledge. The worst case scenario is an internal procedures breach which we all try to avoid. To better track all of this, you need to create the necessary learning material which is especially easy with an external link or a storage link (for content uploaded on the platform), and assign it to your target audience. You can associate different types of follow ups on this material like tasks, surveys, and exams to test how well the assigned content has been comprehended by your colleagues, peers, and associates, as well as get detailed reports on this. Going through those steps consistently will enable you to get a comprehensive view of how people are developing and help them succeed and navigate employees in doing so. <br />
<br />
Ayris is perfect for content creators to gain more information on the views on their learning content. We do not ask you to sign contractual obligations to publish materials with us and you are the content owner of everything you create or already own. Ayris is the means for you to distribute. You can even assign a direct link to your own LMS course. Ayris is the right tool serving the purpose of delivering content to the doorstep of your targeted audience. Simple as it should be, no boundaries, no complicated integrations, just easy learning accessible for everyone.<br />

<b><i>Learning Content Delivery</i></b></div>
<br />
What makes Ayris different from the regular Learning Management System (LMS) is the focus on the learning content delivery. There are a lot of arguments around the push and pull learning methodologies and their effectiveness. And Ayris tries to give the answer by allowing learning leaders to select the most appropriate way of providing learning materials to different kinds of audiences, in different environments with the aim to increase the learning effect. More information about the LDS model can be found <a href="http://blog.outcons.com/2016/07/the-new-disruptor-learning-distribution.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
Ayris emphasizes on the simplicity of the learning distribution by leaving the learning source issues behind. Ayris can offer various types of learning content from different kinds of content sources keeping this hidden from the learner to ensure smooth and transparent learning process.<br />
<br />
The learner is free to select his own learning place. It could be just his mailbox or the Ayris' user interface, or even set of generated Ayris links distributed via text messages, spreadsheets or documents. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Learn without a learning system? What? Is this possible?</b></i></div>
<br />
Yes, it is! Learners are able to go through the full learning plan without even touching the system directly. Isn't this nice?<br />
<br />
Ayris can be used as a standalone learning environment as well as a supplementary layer on top of existing training systems and sources to build a single point of learning experience. Ayris may help shorten the path from the learner to the learning content by unifying blended or not well structured learning environments. It can deliver strongly focused content to the right audience, execute highly flexible training programs and provide the necessary learning achievement measurements.<br />
