LinkedIn Group Created

info — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:15:07 +0000

Just created a LearningMeasure.com LinkedIn Group. This group is intended as a mechanism to provide feedback, suggestions, and to ask questions. The group has four subgroups, one for students, employers, educators, and consultants, corresponding to the four main account types available at LearningMeasure.com. We are hopeful that this can be used as a mechanism for you to request features, ask questions concerning courses or anything else on LearningMeasure.com, and report any problems you might have. If this works out, we may replace our internal forum with this group.
If you are not a member of LinkedIn, I highly recommend that you join. It is the best professional networking site on the web. It is all about business connections.

Renewal of Employer Accounts

info — Sat, 08 May 2010 00:59:06 +0000

A new feature has been added to employer accounts. Now when your employees’ accounts expire, you can renew them. From the main employer screen, there is an option to renew expired accounts. The accounts will automatically be renewed, and you will be sent an invoice. This is the first of a few enhancements dealing with expired accounts.

Problem with Program Registration

info — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 05:35:45 +0000

Found a problem with the program registration script that may have caused some of you not to be able to register for programs. I believe this problem is now fixed. If any of you have this problem, or any other, please let me know. Problems that I do not know about I can’t fix.

Student Account Change

info — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 20:44:45 +0000

Fixed some bugs on the main screen in the student area. There were some instances where the courses were not being displayed properly on the “My Courses” screen. An enhancement was also made so that when a course is overdue the background becomes red for the listing. A course is overdue if the due date has passed and either the course is not complete, or the last time the course was passed was before the due date. The intent is for when courses are assigned passed the completion date, the assumption is that the employer wants the course repeated.

Please, if you see any bug in the operation of LearningMeasure.com, let me know. If I don’t know about a problem, I can’t fix it. Also let me know if there are any feature you would like to see implemented, or any course you would like to see developed.

Employer Account Enhancements

info — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 03:27:42 +0000

The LearningMeasure.com employer area has had some enhancements added. In the employee records, you can now see a listing of all assigned but not completed courses, with the ones that are overdue marked with a red background. Also the overdue course report has been sorted so the overdue courses are listed by username. This list also is linked to each employees record, making it easier to monitor your employee’s training.

There are a few more enhancements to the reporting capabilities that will be included shortly, but first some enhancements to the student accounts must be completed. Namely, the planned messaging system that is still being developed.

Bug Fix

info — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:49:55 +0000

We believe we solved a long-standing problem where sometimes the completion records would disappear for a particular course. If this is observed again, or you find any other problem, please let contact me at webmaster@learningmeasure.com.

LearningMeasure.com Social Network

info — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:55:02 +0000

I have just created a new social network on Ning for LearningMeasure.com. Don’t know how this will work, but if you are interested in joining it go to

http://learningmeasure.ning.com

I will be working with it off and on to try to see if this will be something worth putting together for our customers. Let me know how it goes, I will be deciding if it is worth developing further based on how well it is used.

UPDATE: Since Ning is discontinuing their free groups, and lack of participation, the Ning group created for LearningMeasure.com has been eliminated.

Course Announcements

info — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:26:09 +0000

I would like to announce the addition of two new courses in the course catalog

We are constantly working on more course content, based on your suggestions. We have had several requests for courses on differential equations, which is why we started developing a series of courses on that topic. Please, if there is some course you would like to see us develop, let us know. The more feedback we get the better we can plan and prioritize new course development.

Course Announcement

info — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:22:44 +0000

The following course has been added to the LearningMeasure.com course catalog:

MATH201 - First Order Differential Equations

This is the second course in a planned series of courses to cover the topic. There have been some long-standing requests for such a series of courses. The remainder of the series will be released one course at a time as they are developed. The next course planned for this series is on applications of first order ODEs.

As always, we seek your feedback on what courses to develop, and what priority is placed on developing a particular course. If you would like to see a particular course developed, please let us know. The more requests, the more likely it is to move to the top of the list to be developed.

Full Course Creation Implemented

info — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 04:53:56 +0000

The tools now exist in both educator and employer accounts to be able to construct full courses on LearningMeasure.com. These courses are available to all designated employees or students.You can now create courses for your employees or students only, to supplement existing LearningMeasure.com content.

If you are willing to give up the rights to your course material and we agree to post the course in our general catalog, you will be allowed to have a consultant profile visible on the third page of the course, a small sales pitch on the last page of the course, and be credited for free accounts depending on the material provided.

If you have an educator or employer account, we hope you will give us feedback on this new feature so that we can improve it to make it more useful to you.
There will be more planned features added to assist with course creation over the next few months as they are completed. Clearly there needs to be some online help implemented to assist with course development, and that is our first priority. We will also be adding a feature where one can allow designated individuals to edit course content from student accounts when going through the course.
