Out of Standards
GlobAlive, a system where employees can select training and manage all training information, offers several features that distinguish it from traditional learning management systems. These features include social learning, gamification, video and custom content, and recommendations for career and personal development-related books and movies.
In GlobAlive, which emphasizes social learning methods, each user can instantly follow posts on their news feed, access the profiles of colleagues in other countries, and comment on or like various posts. In addition to its social features, the platform allows users to follow Arkas Academy’s trainings and events and view the quotas and content of the trainings. The platform also allows users to make changes to their training plans through the system. Using the same platform, users can change or cancel the dates of trainings they cannot attend and select different trainings by accessing Arkas Academy’s annual training calendar.
In GlobAlive, which also features gamification, users log in with their Arkas Coins during each training selection period and spend these Coins to choose their trainings. Users earn points for actions such as completing tutorials, rating them, and sharing posts, which helps them climb the platform’s leaderboard. Employees at the top of the leaderboard are rewarded by the Academy at the end of the year.
