• E-Learning Management

  More...

  Using Blossom K-LMS one can manage the entire computer based training and E - Learning from the initial content creation, through content distribution and the finalized analysis of results, in every possible aspect.

    1. Creating E-Learning content using Blossom Editor. At the end of this process, the content is uploaded to the management system where the user sees only the contents of his permit, in accordance with his permissions set. Then, content indexing process is performed, to enable quick navigation, as well as retaining all its past versions.
    2. Creating questionnaires, lessons and surveys using integral test generator inside the Blossom K-LMS.
  • Creating an E-Learning assignment - after uploading the content, it can be distributed by a push mechanism (as e-mail or SMS notification) or can be accessed directly from the Systems portal. By creating an assignment, you can set in a number of predetermined steps that requires different variables in order to process the raw content to a methodical lesson. You can for example set a limited time spent for viewing the content, the minimum score required to precede, the maximum number of tries to get it done, the dates of publication including automated notifications for the users, the targeted group of users to receive the assignment, and much more. You can also determine that a particular assignment will be accessible to users who are not registered in the system.
  • Create E-Learning Course - In Blossom system you can, within minutes, bind several learning assignments together, determine the sequence of their performance, the weight of each assignment in the final mark and more. The course can be associated to different groups of users according to their groups, role, specific organizational structure or alternatively to publish it from the system for self-registration.
  • Adaptive Learning - When the e-learning content is created using the Blossom editor and the learning managed by the Blossom K-LMS during the learning process, a unique algorithm is being activated that challenges each individual user depending on his current mission performance and his performance of the past. This method is equivalent to a private tutor for each user.
  • Learning by doing - The system internally supports learning that accompanied by broad set of interactions, which creates active learning. This is a decisive advantage in the learning process, as users are more involved and alert while learning. Derived from carrying out these interactions through the process, precious data flows to the management system database, helping to improve both the curricula and its end users.
