Putting the ‘Learner’

Management SystemsIsn’t it time to put the employee development process,

the trainer, and the learner back into the center of the

information loop?

back in Learner

In the rush to develop technology solutions that provide

information to company and management leaders, the

emphasis has strayed from the critical center of the learning

process – what happens in the employee development

process between learner and trainer.

The heart of an e�ective Learner Management System (LMS) is

the multi-faceted scheduler and necessary reports functionality.

The Pinnacle Corporate Suite LMS supports 21st-Century

development scheduling based on learner performance. The

non-traditional and customized schedules maintained by the

Pinnacle Corporate Suite LMS give digital-age learners and

trainers a more �exible and productive development training

environment, increasing individualization and creative training

development strategies.

Now, the Pinnacle Corporate Suite has brought together all the

various pieces that company leaders need to make data-

informed decisions. Our learner mangement system is

integrated with a content and development curriculum

management system and aligned, online or o�ine, to company,

department and individual performance standards. Seamless

technology collects and integrates learner information across

job role, giving department and corporate leaders the informa-

tion they need to equitably manage their performance objec-

tives and standards-based content, curriculum, training

development instruction and assessments. Trainers have the

information they need to di�erentiate training development

instruction for each learner in order to improve development

and learning outcomes, increasing learner achievement.

We know from research that the most signi�cant factor in

learner improvement is the e�ectiveness of the development

trainer – there is no set of tools that can replace the impact of a

good trainer on a group of learners. Trainers thrive when they

have immediate access to data about their learners’ progress. By

putting the right information and a powerful set of technology

tools into the hands of a good trainer, companies can create a

formula for success. We are moving to a future where objective

and standards-based assessment and performance-based

learning with frequent formative assessments are the norm in

every company in America.

With the addition of Pinnacle Corporate Suite’s new learner

management system, the suite of tools is now a powerhouse

end-to-end solution, for companies and teams committed to

positively impacting training and development. This is achieved

through performance objectives and standards-based training

development practices, improving learner outcomes through

the e�ective use of data.

While traditional learner information systems provide organiza-

tion and management tools for the basics, Pinnacle’s learner-

centered approach provides learner information for better

training development. In a way not previously possible, trainers

can use performance objectives and standards-aligned data to

drive training and development instruction, resulting in higher

achievement for learners, departments and companies.

The Pinnacle learning management system o�ers:

Open system architecture for third party programs to access Pinnacle Corporate Suite learner information.

Compatible data with external programs such as Microsoft Access, Crystal Reports, Microsoft Word and Excel as well as many others.

Powerful interactive tools that build and maintain multiple calendars and detailed master schedules for learners, trainers, and sta�. Pinnacle Corporate Suite’s robust scheduler allows for complex scheduling models (e.g. face-to-face academies, rotating develop-ment days, online development courses and other non-traditional corporate development schedules) to address the demands and mandates many depart-ments and companies now face.

Unlimited learner and company contact management.

Centralized enrollment, training development atten-dance, management records and learner transcripts, learner accommodation needs, and other develop-ment information.

Telephony API supports Phonemaster or any other company owned auto-dialer, for external or internal communications.

Robust report modules track compliance, assessment and development data, and more.

Unlimited number of data categories can be de�ned and tracked such as development activities, work attendance, job role functions, days injury free, business continuity planning and employee honors.

Data that is conveniently archived and accessible for historical and longitudinal reporting.

SCORM packages and 508 compliance.

For companies and departments facing decreasing budgets, with

the need to establish an ROI, the total cost of ownership of the

Pinnacle Corporate Suite is far less than the total per-learner cost

of all the legacy programs cobbled together by company IT

professionals. With the �nancial challenges most companies are

currently facing, doesn’t it make sense to consider the Pinnacle

Corporate Suite as a complete learning development platform?

Bottom line? When companies provide a management system

that makes it easy for trainers to examine data, understand the

implications, and adapt development instruction, learners thrive.

It’s time for a change.

How often have you heard the promises about

new training and development technology?

For the most part, the conversation has been

more about the technology itself than the

results of using the technology.Recommended and endorsed by such experts in the instruc-

tional �eld as Dr. Robert Marzano and the Association of

Supervision and Curriculum Developments (ASCD), the Pinnacle

electronic records management (grade) book helps trainers

manage their content, development curriculum and assess-

ments in real time and helps leaders manage department and

company-wide objectives.

Other modules in the Pinnacle Corporate Suite put libraries of

supplemental resources, best practice information, databases of

topic-tagged assessments literally at the trainer’s �ngertips. At

the same time, this information can be delivered in a matter of

seconds to the desktop, or pushed out to an array of mobile

devices so that managers and trainers always have access to

their data.

The best part is that the technology is transparent. The ability to

manage content, curriculum and assessments to impact

development, training instruction and the associated reports,

either at the department or corporate level, are just a few

keystrokes away. The seamless integration of data provides a

robust cache of information for individual learners, depart-

ments, or corporate levels. Management can know at all times

the status of employee development, content, and training

strategies, and their impact on employee development success.

The Pinnacle Corporate Suite is noted for its signature electronic

records management (grade) book. Were you aware that this

tool is also the gateway to all of the information you need to

customize an individual, business objective or standards-based

learning plan for each of your employees?

Anchored by the training and development resources of

GlobalScholar, the Pinnacle Corporate Suite brings together all

the tools you need to ensure each employee’s development

success, right to your desktop. Decisions about what resources

to use, when they should be applied, and how they should be

assessed are back in the hands of trainers and managers –

where they belong.

It is now clear from both research and practice that the most

e�ective training/development model is standards-based, with

frequent assessments that impact instruction. However, with

most assessment tools, there is too long a delay between

collection and application of the data to impact results. The

Pinnacle Corporate Suite is the most comprehensive learner

information, content, training development curriculum

management and assessment system of its kind.

The centerpiece of the Pinnacle Corporate Suite is the trainer’s

electronic records management (grade) book. You can record

learner performance from trainings, assessments, activities, job

role and departmental projects, and update your data on a daily

basis. Integrating learner development information from all

sources, the Pinnacle Corporate Suite is the home of all

development-based data, from work attendance records, to

eligibility for job role programs or assistance. Password-

protection allows controlled access to learner information so

that a learner’s privacy is protected at all times.

Various modules allow trainers and content developers to

customize assessments aligned to company standards,

objectives and goals. The embedded communication tools

facilitate information sharing between user-speci�ed groups:

between various levels of company leadership and employees,

such as corporate leadership, division and department leaders,

HR and development, and learner employees, or perhaps among

members of your local site. The analytics module simpli�es

reporting, and aids in sharing information across departments, to

the employee or corporate o�ce.
