+ What are the reporting capabilities?

GoTrain LMS has enormous reporting capabilities which allows you to deal with your duty of care responsibilities quickly and easily. In GoTrain LMS, assessors become virtual Big Brothers as they literally track every move their students make in their online training.

  • At the touch of a button they can see:
  • When the student logged in
  • How far the student has progressed through the study material
  • How long each assessment question took
  • Which assessment questions were answered wrongly
  • Whether the student attempted to cheat
  • Apparent study areas where student seems to be struggling
  • When the course was started and completed

Anything you need to know about your student's training is recorded in GoTrain LMS's powerful databases and can be tracked and reported.

+ Can students communicate with their assessors or administrators during study?

Yes

The system provides a built in email feature allowing all users to send internal emails.

Each individual user has the ability to toggle emails on and off and also elect to have all internal emails sent to their external email account.

GoTrain LMS also encompasses an instant message tool which allows users to post quick messages to one another.

+ Can we customise the look and feel of GoTrain LMS to match our corporate identity?
Yes

One of the best features of GoTrain LMS is that your training will look like your training – your corporate logos, your corporate colours and your style will be reflected every time a student enters your training.

This will provide a seamless union between your company and your GoTrain LMS training package.
+ Can students re-study old courses?
Yes

GoTrain LMS keeps a full record of each student's study history.

A full list of their completed courses is available from within the system where students can re-enter and re-study material.

However administrators do have the option to disable this option.
+ Do students have their own unique log in?

Yes

Each student is automatically emailed a unique username and password that they use every time they enter their training.

This applies to all user types.

What if a user forgets their password?

Each user has a set of security questions that are initialised the first time they enter GoTrain LMS. If a user forgets their password, they simply enter these security questions and their log in details are sent to them via email.
+ Can students cheat assessments in the GoTrain LMS system?

It is impossible for learners to cheat in the GoTrain LMS platform.

Assessments draw their questions from an assessment bank, this means that no two assessments are alike, ie all assessment questions are delivered randomly and all multiple choice answers are arranged randomly.

You may have 20 assessment questions but only require 10 to be answered, this means the system will randomly choose 10 questions from the bank of 20 to be shown to each student.

For example, both Johnny and Mary take the same assessment.

Johnny's first question is

What color is the sky?
a) Blue
b) Red
c) Green
d) Yellow

Mary does not get this question until question 3

What color is the sky?
a) Red
b) Yellow
c) Green
d) Blue

As you can see, it is impossible for Johnny to tell Mary the answer to question 1 is a) as Mary does not get this question until question 3. Mary's answer selection is also randomised so for her the answer is d)

+ Can we set time restrictions and the number of attempts for assessments?

Time restrictions for each question may be set within GoTrain LMS assessments and allows you to give your students a particular number of assessments attempts.

GoTrain LMS gives you complete control over your eLearning assessments for secure competency testing:

  • Set pass marks from 0 to 100%
  • Set time restrictions for each question
  • Set the number of assessment attempts from 1 to 99
  • Create assessment banks for randomly selected questions
  • Choose to randomly rotate assessment answer options
  • Mix and match multiple computer scored assessment styles including stimulating, image based questions
  • Create assessor scored questions - such as essay and short answer
  • Link assessment questions to the relevant section or page of study for review
  • Present rolling assessments throughout study material
  • Provide feedback for wrongly answered questions
+ Can I create custom content?

The LMS allows administrators to edit a number of areas enabling the LMS to be used as a 1 stop shop for all learning requirements from welcome messages, news and downloads to links.

Home Page Messages

The system will display a customised welcome message on the login page of your LMS.

News

Add news posts for your students to read, e.g. News Items, roster updates, tutorials etc.

Downloads

+ Existing Competency Recognition
Why waste time re-training competent employees just for certification?

Challenge

The unique GoTrain LMS Challenge function removes the need for re-training competent employees. Challenge allows employees to undertake each unit assessment before studying the course to prove their competency. Where the candidate is 100% successful in the challenge assessment, they are certified competent, meeting statutory requirements and satisfying your auditors.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

The GoTrain LMS Learning Management System RPL function is an important tool in further reducing the cost of workplace training whilst meeting all the requirements of the competency-based training guidelines. RPL is the process of identifying competently in a skill or range of skills that meet the assessment criteria of the relevant industry training package. The process is conducted internally and gives certification of formal qualifications, on-the-job experience and life experience, thus reducing a persons training needs.

Prerequisite Support (PRE)

GoTrain LMS supports course prerequisites, whether theory based or practical. The Learning Management System encompasses inbuilt prerequisite functionality to gather and store prerequisite qualifications or completed activities.
+ Payment Gateway
Prospective students can purchase their selected courses online!

The GoTrain LMS Learning Management System Payment Gateway connects directly to a bank of choice and will issue a receipt to the student and payment advice email to the course provider.

Administrators can view transactions and print the PDF receipts which each student has received.

Students can also view their invoices and recreate their invoices at any time.

Upon acceptance of payment, students can begin study immediately!
+ Student Security
Passwords

Administrators have full control over many password functions through out the GoTrain LMS.

Administrators can control password complexity, days before expiration and user lockouts.

SMS and E-Mail Security Authentication

Security authentication can be sent either by SMS or email and the student only has a preset time, to enter the code received, otherwise access to the system will be denied.

This feature can be provided at several points: at student login, student commencement of a Challenge test, student commencement of an assessment or exam.

This functionality is set by the client. This extra security is in addition to our password and security identification questions.

NOTE: the SMS feature must be activated by GoTrain LMS Pty Ltd at the request of the client.
