TopClass LMS Features
All-In-One LMS
NiUG International
TopClass LMS powers the online learning platform for NiUG International, the largest independent user group for the iMIS engagement management system, with over 45,850 enrolments.
THE PROBLEM
NiUG wanted to create an online learning center for iMIS users that would enable them to share educational resources and training materials with their members. NiUG wanted to make available online recorded sessions from their regional and national conferences, to:
-
Enable attendees to refresh, review and apply what they had learned at the event.
-
Sell recorded sessions to members and non-members who could not attend the event.
NiUG also wanted the ability to be self-sufficient in creating, uploading, and maintaining their educational offerings with the capability to expand these in the future.
An essential requirement was that the learning management system would integrate seamlessly with iMIS, enabling detailed audience segmentation and control over the administration of the platform. NiUG needed an LMS which would enable them to offer recorded sessions at different price points to conference attendees, members and non-members, and to facilitate the purchase of study materials and viewing of sessions attendees had missed at past conferences.
From an administrator’s perspective, the successful LMS had to enable the NiUG team to efficiently manage hundreds of recorded sessions and member enrollments, and provide a testing engine that could easily and efficiently cater for hundreds of questions organized in multiple question banks, without intervention from the LMS vendor.
RESULTS
The two-way integration between TopClass LMS and iMIS has streamlined administration for NiUG, providing a granularity of control which has enabled them to reduce their costs and preserve the value of conference attendance for iMIS users, both members and non-members alike, by regulating access to post-conference educational materials through the LMS for different users.
There are now 5,000 active users, with over 48,500 enrolments, accessing over 970 courses through the NiUG Learning Center. WBT Systems’ services team were very responsive to the needs of NiUG administrators, providing assistance in developing detailed documentation which guided the process of
implementation and acts as a reference when on-boarding new staff members.
For the learners, TopClass LMS provides a seamless and engaging experience thanks to a clean user interface that was configured to simplify navigation between NiUG’s website and TopClass LMS and to provide a consistent branding. It also offers single-sign-on to allow members to access conference sessions and training directly from the NiUG website, without having to log in twice.
“The flexibility of TopClass LMS has provided a detailed level of administration and control over our content and user groups, which has enabled us to reduce our costs, and to provide online access to educational material that both complements and preserves the value of conference attendance for our members and iMIS users.”
