Mzinga Unveils Learning 7.0, Introducing a New Model for Learning Programs
Latest Release Delivers Significant Flexibility & Self-Service and Sets the Stage for New Approaches to Enterprise Learning
Burlington, MA - July 15, 2008 - Mzinga (http://www.mzinga.com/pr/), the leader in business social media and learning solutions for the workplace, marketplace, and extended enterprise, today announced the immediate availability of Mzinga Learning 7.0, the latest release of the company’s acclaimed enterprise learning solution.
Mzinga Learning 7.0 provides powerful new capabilities through the introduction of learning programs—a framework that offers dramatic efficiencies and ease of use in managing enterprise compliance, certification, and curricula. Other significant enhancements include increased self-service for administrator and learner flexibility, both within the workplace and in support of customer education programs which are becoming increasingly critical to organizations.
"Based on the rave reviews we’ve received from our clients, we believe that the innovations that we’re bringing to market today and over the next few months will fundamentally change the way organizations foster workforce productivity, develop talent, and drive business performance," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Mzinga.
The Mzinga Learning 7.0 release offers many new dynamic capabilities and self-service components that bring HR professionals improved methods for managing learning and talent development, including:
- Learning Programs: A New Model for Certification, Compliance & Curricula
Mzinga Learning 7.0 centers around a comprehensive redesign of core learning event workflows, including fully configurable user notifications of assigned learning courses, dynamic timing and completion monitoring, and version tracking of required program changes. Administrators can also now create new learning programs from within a course with the click of a button, and consolidated program transcripts provide a comprehensive view of current learner assignments and historical records.
- Improved Self-Service & Flexibility
Through enhanced multi-domain support and self-service configurations, learning administrators can create multiple sites within the Mzinga platform on their own, and then enhance and customize the user experience of each site to match their branding. These self-service capabilities extend from graphics and styles to system terminology, as well as help files—which can be developed in a test environment before being promoted to live learning environments. In addition, new configuration options for completion certificates increase flexibility even further by allowing consistent branding between branded sites and completed course deliverables.
Mzinga Learning 7.0 also introduces new self-enrollment capabilities, which allow organizations to manage customer and partner education programs with greater ease of use. Enhanced offline content capabilities and greater learner visibility into their performance reviews also offer an improved user experience.
- Greater Insight into Learner Feedback
The in-depth surveys and assessments capabilities offered in Mzinga Learning 7.0— including more comprehensive questions types, assignment options based on learner status, and duplication capabilities—all enable organizations to gather more valuable insight from learners. Organizations can leverage the additional feedback and learner insight to better measure and refine learning strategies and initiatives.
"As a long-standing Mzinga customer, we are thrilled to see the substantial advancements in Mzinga Learning 7.0, which will bring significant efficiencies to the way we manage and track programs," said Diane Fasching, Vice President of Learning & Development at Gilbane. "And we’re equally excited about the new embedded social media components that are also being integrated within the platform. It could potentially transform the way we think about learning altogether."
