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! 

In recent years many organisations have focused on environmental sustainability in an effort demonstrate corporate social responsibility. However, some have been accused of greenwashing with claims their policies might be more about creative marketing rather than any real effort to save the planet! 

In a Learning Management System, Dashboards are a great way of presenting personalised information such as progress, achievements and upcoming scheduled work to the learner.

With Hubken’s Totara Learn solution, it’s not just a “one size fits all” approach to Dashboards as there are no limits to the number of different Dashboards you can create within the system.

If you've visited our website or social channels today, you might think we've gone through a little transformation. But the truth is, we're staying exactly the same.

We've changed our name. But that's all we've changed.

Well, actually, we’ve already changed.  Back in January, we changed our legal name. And this month, we have brought that new name out into the big wide world.

For most businesses, there’s a common challenge of getting new staff up-and-running and contributing to the organisation in a quick, efficient and cost-effective manner; the sooner that a new employee is competent, the sooner they can be generating revenue for your business.

Face-to-face induction can be difficult to schedule, time consuming and potentially costly if travel and accommodation needs must also be factored in.

We all know that a successful learning programme isn’t based on a purely digital approach; digital learning fills a need for providing just-in-time learning resources and being available anywhere at any time, but there is always the need for live, face-to-face (or online) training events.

Having live interaction with a trainer and your peers can prove invaluable in certain settings; who would want to do their First Aid training without some real-life CPR practice? 

Having problems with your learners forgetting to give feedback for online learning? We have just the thing to help you solve this problem, allowing you to use learners’ comments to tweak and improve the online experience for future learners.

We're proud to introduce Topics Extended, an exciting new course format included with all our latest Moodle and Totara Learn solutions.
