Talent Management

Totara Announces Roadmap for New Features

Wellington (NZ), May 2011 - The roadmap of Totara LMS, the open source LMS for the corporate sector based on Moodle, is now out for consultation with partners and subscribers and includes new talent-management modules to manage appraisals. It also includes 360 feedback and an exciting new program-management feature to create learning paths, mandatory learning, and recurring learning requirements.




The new features include

  • program management to build complex learning paths
  • improved classroom-management functionality
  • commenting and evidence management in learning plans
  • an appraisal-process component
  • gap analysis and a 360-degree feedback tool

The program / curriculum management, which will be available this summer, offers the capability to build more complex learning paths by defining rules and assigning these paths (programs) to individuals, job roles, or part of the organisation.

The functionality includes the

  • ability to define mandatory / regulatory courses
  • ability to define recurrence of required completion (e.g. once every two years)
  • ability to define pre-requisites and complex dependencies between courses
  • ability to define dependencies based on events and elapsed time (e.g. within four weeks of joining)
