A survey of Fortune 1,000 companies by the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) found that 66% of employees were disappointed with their performance review experiences.

Furthermore, 65% rated performance evaluations as irrelevant to their job roles. So there are clearly many pitfalls to effective performance management but with a change of approach it can transform the way you develop your teams.

If you’re responsible for managing e-learning programmes you’ll know what a Learning Management System (LMS) is. If you’ve attended any learning fairs in recent years you may have seen the term LXP popping up.

It stands for Learning Experience Platform and represents a whole new range of possibilities to expand the way your audiences learn.

OK, so here are the things made possible with an LXP:

For anyone managing e-learning programmes learner engagement is surely a key measure of success. You may have hundreds of people in different departments or teams but all of them are likely to appreciate recognition for their efforts. That’s where Open Badges come in.

Open Badges enable your learners to get verifiable proof for the knowledge, skills and achievements they have developed through your e-learning programme.

The term gamification has been around for years, but what is it? Simply, it’s about bringing elements from game design into a non-game context and there are good reasons to do so.

Many people who’ve been in the workforce for years will have got into gaming as children but even for the non-gamers amongst us introducing gamification into your Moodle LMS can make a big difference (and implementing it can be much easier than you think!).

Hubken are delighted to announce that we have secured a place in the new G-Cloud 12 framework to deliver our Totara Learn and Moodle LMS solutions to more public sector organisations in the UK.

G-Cloud 12 is the UK Government’s digital marketplace that provides all organisations in the public sector with a more transparent and easy purchasing process for digital and cloud-based services (including cloud-based hosting, software, and support).

Hubken are excited to announce that a major Totara update is on the way. Totara Learn 13 delivers a range of new functionality to help you take your e-learning programmes to the next level.

The new release will also see the launch of two new Totara products:

Totara Perform and Totara Engage which come together to create the Totara Talent Experience Platform.

Here at Hubken we love all things open-source and for good reason. However, we realise that the term open-source isn’t that well understood.

In fact, some of our own clients using our open-source Learning Management System (LMS) solutions may not be totally clear on what open-source software really is and the advantages that come with it.

Take a few minutes to get clued up with this article! 

Hubken offer both Totara Learn and Moodle LMS solutions, for good reason as the two platforms have much in common. Both are open-source and trusted by organisations around the world. Equally there are many important differences between the two.

Totara is especially designed for the requirements of the corporate world, industry and vocational training, whereas Moodle is more commonly used in the education sector.

Moodle 3.9 has landed! This is a community focused release with improvements requested by users. In this blog we’ll introduce the new activity chooser and H5P integration.

It’s about giving you the ideas and know-how to give your learners their best ever experience of Hubken’s Moodle solution.
