Are you setting up or improving your e-learning? Do you want to make sure that your investment pays off and that it really benefits your organisation? Then it is possible to fully measure e-learning analytics and your ROI (return on investment) indispensable. How do you know that it really helps your employees? And that it also benefits your organisation as a whole? In this blog, you can read everything about how to use smart data to make your training efforts measurable and successful and how Pluvo can support you with this.

Why are e-learning analytics so important?

Many organisations invest a lot every year money in e-learning. But without good measurements, it is difficult to know whether that investment really pays off. E-learning analytics give you the opportunity to see exactly how your training courses are being used and, in particular, what that does to the skills of your employees and the performance of your organisation.

By looking at important data, such as the number of completed modules, the time your team spends on the training courses and the scores on assessments, you get a clear picture of the impact of the e-learning.

And that's exactly the way to increase your ROI: by making targeted improvements based on the data you collect.

Make your e-learning ROI measurable with Pluvo

Pluvo not only offers a platform to create, host, and update e-learning content, but also provides comprehensive analysis tools to give you insight into the results of your e-learning. How Pluvo helps you monitor and measure your effectiveness and the ROI of your e-learning? We list a number of ways:

  • Detailed progress reports: you can see exactly who completed which modules, how much time is spent on the e-learning on average and which parts employees may get stuck in. With that information, you can quickly adjust the content for better results.
  • Measuring engagement: you get insight into which training material is most used and valued. This way, you know what to pay extra attention to, for example, to keep participants actively involved.
  • Feedback and Surveys: via built-in tools, you can easily collect responses from your team, so that you also have qualitative data about the employee satisfaction and needs.
  • Real-time dashboards: you can view the current data quickly and clearly, so you can immediately control and focus on your lessons and results.

How to get more out of your e-learning investment

Determining your ROI starts with asking clear questions: what do you want to achieve with your e-learning? Do you want employees to learn new techniques faster? Do you want them to show behavioral changes in the workplace? Or is it mainly about reducing errors and increasing productivity? Once you have that clear, you can determine targeted KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and set concrete goals.

With tools like Pluvo, you can easily set measurable goals, such as:

  • X% fewer errors within 6 months
  • 30% reduction in onboarding time
  • Higher customer or colleague satisfaction score
  • More projects completed within a certain time
By regularly analyzing the data, you can gain insight into whether your goals are being achieved. Are the goals not being achieved? Then you know exactly where to adjust. Will they be met? Then you can also clearly substantiate that and demonstrate your ROI.

The power of data to continuously improve and optimise

E-learning analytics isn't just about measuring results afterwards. It's also about the ability to continuously improve e-learning (and thus learning outcomes and ROI). With the data that Pluvo collects, you can discover trends, bottlenecks and opportunities and adapt your e-learning accordingly.

For example, do you want your team to pick up new working methods more quickly? Then you can specifically focus the modules on that and monitor whether that actually works. This creates an ongoing cycle of measuring, adjusting and improving.
