\n

Kia, one of the world\u2019s largest vehicle manufacturers, was established in Sweden in 1997.\u00a0Today, with more than 100,000 sold cars, Kia is the 6th most-sold brand in Sweden.<\/p>\n

Kia Motors Swede<\/strong> have about 90 dealerships and 110 service centres spread around the\u00a0country. The company takes care of import, product planning, sales, service, training,\u00a0management of spare parts, marketing and information about Kia in Sweden.<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/h3>\n

Kia Motors Sweden provides a vast range of blended learning for various roles such as\u00a0sales, service advisors, service technicians and management.<\/p>\n

However, in the legacy\u00a0LMS,\u00a0learners, managers and administrators alike\u00a0found many tasks challenging. The user\u00a0experience had room for improvement – staff managers wanted to be able to track the\u00a0progress of their teams, while administrators were stuck with time-consuming, manual\u00a0tasks to manage the training.<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/h3>\n

In Totara Learn<\/a>, Kia Motors Sweden found a LMS that met their challenges.\u00a0The user experience for all users was vastly improved. Responsive web design means\u00a0that the LMS may be accessed from any device. Totara Learn’s programme feature means\u00a0that, for example, technicians now can view the requirements and their development\u00a0related to their role\u00a0in a pedagogical way. Managers are in control and can track the\u00a0progress of their team.<\/p>\n

Most of the requirements were fulfilled with Totara Learn’s\u00a0rich feature set out of the box.<\/p>\n

However, one request was to provide blended learning to cohorts, where a learner should\u00a0be able to sign up to a series of face-to-face events, mixed up with e-learning in between.Together with Xtractor, this was solved with a custom enrolment plugin, whereby a learner\u00a0can easily\u00a0select a cohort and with one click be signed up to all the related events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Results<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The long-term results are yet to be seen, as the implementation is still very recent.<\/p>\n

However, only a few days after the launch date, hundreds of users were able to\u00a0experience the new LMS. As part of the internal launch, user groups competed in a Totara\u00a0Learn quiz by answering questions about Kia\u2019s brand values. The results were displayed on\u00a0the wall in real time.<\/p>\n

This way Kia was able to communicate the benefits and user friendliness of their brand new LMS without boring slide decks, instead letting the users experience Totara Learn in a\u00a0fun and competitive setting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
