Meet your goals
We’ve done our research and asked over 200 customers how OneFile has helped them meet their organisational goals – from increased learner engagement to reduced delivery costs.
Increase learner engagement
With OneFile, learners are more engaged as they can take an active role in their learning. They can access multimedia content, complete quizzes, evaluate their skills, track their progress, and use their smartphones to work wherever they are. Learners love using OneFile – it's how they want to learn.
What OneFile features increase learner engagement?
Progress dashboards and alerts
With OneFile’s progress dashboards, learners can see exactly how they’re progressing – motivating them to complete more and see their totals increase. They’re sent alerts to let them know what activities they have to complete, and if they finish before the deadline, tutors can set more activities to keep the momentum going.
Learners are more engaged when their workflow is consistent, they feel supported and they don’t have to wait for feedback or follow ups.
Learning journal and scorecard
With the learning journal, learners can reflect on their journal entries and rate their progression on a customisable scale. This encourages learners take an active role in their learning and helps motivate them when their scorecard graphs increase.
The scorecard informs tutors of the apprentice’s prior learning in the initial assessment so they can personalise the curriculum delivery. When learners aren’t repeating learning and have personalised curriculum, they’re more engaged in the programme.
Multimedia content
Learners can access multimedia learning content and complete quizzes online – helping them stay engaged. Instead of writing notes, learners can upload photos, videos or audio recordings as evidence, so the practical application of learning can form part of their portfolio – reducing admin and helping them stay engaged.
Learners can also upload evidence of their off-the-job learning so they can take pride in their development show their employer how their off-the-job activities are helping them progress.
