Of course, when organizations adopt e-learning solutions through a pay-per-use LMS like Coggno, the costs of training itself are significantly less than those of commercial LMS licenses and traditional training methods. For this reason and others, more organizations are finding online training solutions to meet compliance and management training needs.

You may be thinking that a pay-per-use LMS sounds like a good idea, but you also wonder, how exactly does it work?

As a first time courseware developer, you may be unfamiliar with the process of course creation, payment, and other nitty gritty. This blog entry will be devoted to those processes.

First you’ll need to become a Coggno member to create your training, compliance, or other content for placement on the Coggno Marketplace. It’s easy; simply register as a Course Creator (Author) by logging onto the https://www.coggno.com/account/signup, review the terms of use, and voilà! You’re ready to begin migrating or creating content on Coggno.com.

As a content creator, how does payment work? You’ll be paid every time an organization or individual purchases a license to use the learning content you’ve authored. You’ll be paid for each license, or seat, that is purchased.

But how much? That depends on you. You can charge whatever you like, whatever price you deem appropriate. Prices range from $10 to $450 per license, according to what you decide to charge, and the standard in your field. Of course, it’s important to keep in mind your audience. Is the content geared toward an audience of individuals or corporations, which are inclined to purchase multiple licenses?

Another option is to consider creating course content of varying lengths, and charging accordingly. Learners may be interested in trying out a course at a lower price point before investing in a more substantial one at a higher price point. Using the volume discounting options available in the pricing interface, you are also able to syndicate any of your content, sharing a percentage of your revenue with the web publishers on whose website your content is advertised.

What’s Coggno’s Publishing Policy? Content on Coggno is meant to be substantive conveyance of learning, training, and assessment of knowledge and information. You’re free to create and upload content and assessments on any subject area, as long as it doesn’t infringe or misappropriate any copyright, or is inappropriate. (For full details of Coggno’s Content Policy, see the Content Policy page at Coggno.com.)

Design and syndicate robust courses and training with Coggno’s Learning Management System (LMS) Online. User-friendly, powerful and affordable.

Organization and ease of use are important in any training initiative, and in order to avoid problems due to confusion, a learning management system can be implemented to keep track of member achievements and team objectives. An LMS serves an important role in keeping track of tasks, goals, and learners’ training

activities and achievements.

Think about it. Anymore, companies are often made up of a network of team members—whether they are many or just a handful—to meet all organizational goals and sales objectives. Service teams, for instance, are increasingly linked internationally.

Service teams support either customers or the internal organization, or both. LMSs like Coggno are demonstrating that if sales and customer service can be effective across great distances, so can sales training itself.

Online training is far-reaching. Sales training for a company’s sales professionals and managers can be organized and delivered internationally, linking a company’s learning management system to its various human resources departments and ERP systems, to perform multi-locational, cost-effective and efficient training.  An LMS serves an important role in keeping track of tasks, goals, and learners’ training activities and achievements. 

Coggno’s LMS provides organizations with the tools necessary to create strong training courses. These tools include a text editor, SCORM publisher, question banking, video and audio tool, screen recording, Flash-based video creation, an Apple podcast creator, and assessment and quiz tools. LMSs like Coggno offer a variety of ways that online courses can deliver practice situations dealing with customers to learners.

However, sales training courses have a shelf life, which is why a pay per use LMS model such as Coggno’s works well for many companies. Many organizations sign on for monthly contracts, but find they never create and push out as much content as they originally thought. Then time goes by and their net costs are much higher. With Coggno, you can create your own training and deploy it as you need to.

Coggno’s pay per use learning management system requires no up front costs to create and deploy training, so that sales training created, acquired, and/or delivered by an organization is always fresh and relevant. In difficult economic times, such business models are increasingly on demand—and fittingly so.
