Accel: Learning Reimagined
We live in a rapidly changing world where technology is evolving at an astounding rate. In order to remain competitive, individuals and businesses alike must ensure innovation and adaption or risk becoming obsolete. If employees are going to have the required skills for success, their learning and development needs to be an ongoing process. Companies can achieve this by embracing continuous learning – the ongoing expansion of knowledge and skill sets. This is where Softrams’ Accel comes into play, a learning management system which has reimagined traditional learning into a dynamic platform that empowers teams and organizations with guided learning and curated pathways.
Accel is Softrams’ learning management system designed for ongoing, coordinated training. Like other learning platforms, Accel helps to administer, track, report, document, automate, and deliver educational content. But what sets Accel apart is the ability to also create and curate a variety of learning methods to deliver content to users, such as brownbag sessions, multiday events, and structured course learning.
Accel is a dynamic platform built on a cloud-based, scalable, serverless platform that can be deployed in AWS Cloud, as the entire application stack is built using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Some of the AWS services used are AWS Aurora, AWS Lambda, AWS SQS, and AWS S3. This allows for built-in security, continuous backups, serverless computing, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-region replication, and integrations with other AWS services. Accel also supports integrations with Slack and Outlook for real-time communication and notifications. The platform also supports native integration with Okta for identity management and entitlements.
Continuing education is the byproduct of our desire to learn, increase our knowledge base, and ultimately make important advances in life. Learning should be creative, engaging, and most of all, effective. We learn by doing. We learn by seeing. We learn by listening. We even learn by reciting. What makes learning digestible is emphatically its mode of delivery. With Accel, continuing education can be easy, intuitive, and fun!
Games, Rewards, and Benefits
Accel uses gamification training and a rewards system to increase engagement and learning. Using progressive learning practices, the platform encourages learning through collaboration, consistency, and tracking. With this approach, learning becomes a continuous journey.
Team-Oriented Structure
Teams and organizations can learn faster with guided learning and curated pathways. HR departments and administrators can effectively manage learning using skills matrices, certification track reports, and analytical insights to help create and implement new learning paths and materials.
Approval and Verification Workflows
To encourage continuous learning and development, Accel also supports approval and verification workflows for courses and certifications procured from external agencies or learning platforms.
AWS Services Used
Accel is already making a difference for our federal client, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), bringing continuous learning to an organization that affects 160 million people. You too can empower your teams with continuous learning with Accel. Reach out to us for a demo today!
