We're considering how best to expand our reporting capabilities to serve more of your HR ecosystem... and we'd love your thoughts! Please reach out and share what you'd like us to connect with.

Cross-product reporting expansion

We will be adding the option to have OTS refresher mode only show the refresher mode dialogue if a user has completed the course in question before.

This will affect any second completion of the course, whether the course is a part of continuous accreditation or not. This option would suit setups where refresher behaviour is desirable but going through the full course on the first completion is desired to be mandatory.

Existing users will not be affected without action as this will be an entirely opt-in behaviour. 

Update to OTS course refresher mode

Allow objectives to be prioritised and have more weighting than others to show employees where their focus should be

Weighted objectives

A new section within the review form which can be added.  This section enables both the reviewer and reviewee to record actions at the end of the review. 

It also includes generative AI to help suggest actions based on the review outcomes.  

This new functionality supports both managers and reviewees at the most crucial stage of the review, taking stock of the last period and planning actions moving forward.

We're looking to create a set of 3rd party learning content integrations, enabling you to showcase the content you curate to your organisation without the hassle!

3rd party content integrations

In Learn, the time a User spends learning is tracked by the system. This data can be useful to L&D teams to understand how much time is dedicated to learning, and how efficient their offering is in terms of delivery. In this report, you can see both actual time spent in eLearning and live events, plus estimated durations set at the Lesson level. 

Note that time spent viewing learning while in Review mode, is not tracked.

We're looking at ways we can bring in AI to help you understand your data better. Whether that is categorising response sentiment, trend analysis, or helping you to author and refine reports, we're exploring all the options!

Let us know of any useful suggestions below, and we'll take them into account!

Reporting AI-assisted analysis ✨

We're exploring leveraging the power of AI to help you to get reports that meet your needs. We'd love your thoughts on how this would work for you!

AI-assisted report creation✨

In Learn, Users or their managers can submit a notification request when they want to attend an event that is either not currently scheduled or doesn’t have a suitable date. This lets Learn administrators know there’s interest in a particular lesson - even if no sessions are currently available.

The Future Event Dates Notification report brings all these requests into one place to help administrators track and respond to this demand. It provides visibility over how many learners are waiting, what they’re waiting for, and how well the current event schedule is meeting demand.

Reviewing this report regularly helps you:

Future Event Dates Notification report

We will be adding a new interaction to the OTS player which will allow our learning designers to create multiple-choice questions (MCQ) contextualised within a carousel containing information about the scenario.

Once the new interaction is released, watch out for it starting to appear in new courses and course upgrades.

New OTS course interaction (Scenario MCQ)

For some time customers have fed back that the timings of batch emails (emails sent by the overnight processes) are frustrating. This item is to find a fix for that.

More control over notifications

We know sometimes customers want to grant people access to specific reports and information (either on a one-to-one basis, or collectively) but without them having access to the full reporting experience.

These people can be employees, and sometimes might be external people who for some reason need access. How can we enable this, while giving a safe and secure way of customers managing that sharing?

Making a report available to more people

We are currently researching what reporting requirements you have for reporting on skills, skill levels or skill gaps in your organisation.

If you would like to be involved and help shape this please contact our Product Manager, Phill - Phill.lord-david@kallidus.com

We are working on a new identity and login service that will give our customers modern identity management capabilities. Whether you use Single Sign On, or Kallidus manages your identity and login journey, we're working to make this the best journey possible for you.

This development allows for you to use multiple single sign on (SSO) providers.  It will, in 2024, allow you to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) through the use of authentication apps.   

May 2024 update:  We have received lots of helpful feedback about our new offering.  It is great to hear it is resolving issues for customers.  We are working through your other bits of feedback and starting to work on some improvements to the login flow.

We are also working on a self service upgrade page to make upgrading easier and more in your control.  This is being tested throughout April with a view to getting this available in May/June.    

Please share any thoughts or ideas with us as we build out this capability!

We've seen great adoption of our new Course Promotion tool, and had some really useful feedback. Based on what you've shared, we are adding a number of new features... first up is the ability to target the promoted course to specific groups.

Course Promotion improvements

We are making a small improvement to the group rules in Learn which should give greater flexibility for customers to create pathways for learning.  

You can assign lessons to users who do not pass a lesson with 100%, by adding them to a specific group.

For example:
"Lee completes their Fire Safety training, but scores 80%. While 80% is a 'Pass', Lee is also enrolled onto a 'Fire Safety extra learning' course so they can have additional learning in this area."

You can find out more about this improvement in our Help portal:

Improving our feature-set to make Learn a next-generation learning environment, supporting social and collaborative learning.

We've added user-generated content to allow your users to share their knowledge. We have also made sure the tools for Administrators to effectively control and moderate  are in place.

We have started with videos (MP4 and .Mov format).  These can be videos that are pre-recorded or you can record directly from a phone.  

You can choose who you wish to make this available to.  You could choose all your users or narrow it down to a more focussed group of Subject Matter Experts. 

If accepted through moderation, all UGC videos will create courses and lessons which are made available to a specific catalogue.  These can be moved around like any other course/lesson within the system.  

 
We'd love your thoughts on this one, so please share your views!
