We’re excited to announce that BenchPrep has been named an Innovator in the Aragon Research Globe for Corporate Learning, 2020. We believe this achievement reflects our ability to serve a diverse customer base (Over 6 million learners in the for-profit, higher ed, association, certification body, and internal training spaces), by helping to boost learner morale, reduce dropout rates, and focus on mastery based knowledge.

Are you thinking about moving your instructor-led resources to a digital learning environment?

Earlier this year, we released Milestones in the BenchPrep platform to give course designers more control over how learners consume content. For example, course designers can use Milestones to prevent learners from taking a particular exam until they also complete certain lessons. In this case, completing those lessons is a Milestone a learner must achieve before they have access to the exam. This blog post offers a deep dive into the benefits of Milestones and covers the most common use cases.

Organizations are facing difficult times when it comes to recruiting and maintaining talent who can help the organization reach its strategic goals. But why is that? Today there are 50,000 professional skills in the world, however, many organizations do not provide the necessary training to help professionals gain these skills.

Self-directed learning is an independent learning experience driven by the learner. They choose how they’ll learn the content. They choose how fast they want to learn. And, ultimately, they take responsibility for their learning.

Since COVID-19 shut down in-person training, organizations have two options: They can take a band-aid approach by cobbling together free technology to get them through the next few months, or they can see this situation as an opportunity to invest in long-term technology and build new business assets.
