eLEARNING SOLUTIONS By ATS

The Challenge:

Helping members learn new skills and stay current on continuing education credits and certifications is a key mission of most associations. It is also proven to be a strong, non-dues revenue generator for most groups which is why many organizations have invested in elearning through third-parties like Blue Sky eLearn, GoToWebinar, GoToTraining and others.

Unfortunately, this eLearning software isn't integrated with iMIS. To market to members, deliver courses and track their education, you need to replicate data between multiple systems, a process that can be complicated and tedious. Members are then required to sign-on and complete transactions on two separate sites. To combine both sets of data, you must spend your association's top resource: time.

Fortunately, ATS has a solution for that. iMIS Bridges powered by ATS.

The Opportunity:

Our eLearning Solutions Suite is a set of integration solutions that help associations leverage the value of their online learning software by marketing courses through iMIS via the RiSE store or the ATS Online Marketplace.

When a member is ready to purchase a course, the eLearning software is notified of the order and a single sign-on is displayed. Once the course is completed, critical course data, including credit hours, test scores, certifications and more, is relayed back to iMIS.

The Advantage:

With our eLearning Solutions Suite, you can track all elearning engagement in iMIS. Which means you can:

  • Use iMIS dashboards to analyze trends (such as total number of credit hours purchased and claimed) and cross tabulate the average test scores to years of membership or conference attendance
  • Offer a single, unified, real-time interface to your members

All of which adds up to less hassle for them resulting in fewer headaches and better information on which to base future decisions.
