Talenta LMS (Learning Management System) is a software application for planning, implementing, and assessing specific learning processes. Within a company, an LMS can be a tool that helps HR manage and deliver online or digital training to employees.

Important
- Mekari Talenta HRIS Super Admin needs to assign employees as LMS Admin role holders to manage the LMS, such as employee access, learning content, progress, and other related matters.
- To subscribe to this feature and integrate it into Mekari Talenta HRIS, you can contact our support team by sending an email to support-hr@mekari.com. 

Before creating a training program, you need to organize and create several training components in Talenta LMS: Course Category, Subcategory, Level, Quiz/Pre-test/Post-test. Here are the steps for managing a course in Talenta LMS, from creation to publishing.

1. First, you need to log in to your Talenta account, then log in to the Talenta LMS Backyard by clicking here.
2. After successfully logging in to your account, you can click on the “Nine dots” icon.
   
3. Then, select “Course management”.
   

A. Creating Course Categories and Subcategories

To create a course, you need to have a Course Category and a Subcategory. Hence, if there are no categories and subcategories yet, you need to create them first.

You can use categories as a theme for the entire course, and subcategories as a series within that course. Therefore, you can create more than one subcategory within a single course.

Follow these steps to create categories and subcategories in the training you create.

1. Go to the Courses menu, then click Course category.

2. Then, click “Add”.
   

3. Fill in the Category name, then click "Create". For example, Business Communication Skills.
   

4. Hence, the category is successfully created.
   

5. The created category appears in the Course category list. Click to add a subcategory.
   

6. Then, click “Add” to add a subcategory.
   

7. Enter the subcategory Name, then click "Create." For example, Business Meetings and Presentations.
   

8. Hence, the subcategory is successfully created.
   

9. In the Course category list, you can see the number of Subcategories in the description column.
   

B. Creating Course Levels

Once the Course Category and Subcategory have been created and set up, you can create course difficulty levels. These difficulty levels can then be applied to any course you create. Follow these steps to create difficulty levels in the training program you'll be creating in Talenta LMS.

1. Go to the Courses menu, then click Course levels.

2. Click “Add” to create a new level.
   

3. Fill in the Level name, then click "Create". For example, the level created is Beginner.
   

4. Hence, the new level is successfully created.
   

5. All levels ever created are included in the Course level list page.
   

C. Uploading and Managing Learning Content

You can upload and manage learning content in mp4 or pdf format to be used as learning material in the courses you create.

1. Go to the Courses menu, then click Contents.

2. Then, click “Add” to add content.
   

3. Then, the following pop-up appears.
   

4. Once completed, you can click "Upload". This will successfully upload and save your content.
   

5. Every piece of content successfully created and uploaded will be saved in a list on the Contents page. You can click "Download" to download the file. Alternatively, click the file name to open the content details sheet.
   

6. On the details sheet, you can delete the content by clicking “Delete”.
   

D. Create a Quiz, Pre-test, or Post-test

You can use quizzes, pre-tests, and post-tests as learning evaluation methods to measure the effectiveness of employee training.

Important
- Quiz: Can be inserted in the middle or at the end of the course. Quizzes aim to evaluate employee understanding of the newly learned material.
- Pre-test: Given before the training begins to determine the participant's initial knowledge level, identify competency gaps, and help HR or trainers adjust the material to be delivered.
- Post-test: Given after the training is completed to evaluate employee understanding improvements, ensure learning objectives are achieved, and serve as an indicator of training effectiveness.

By comparing the results of the pre-test and post-test, companies can assess how much knowledge or skills participants have increased, and can also use this data for training evaluation reports, program improvements, and graduation requirements in the LMS (Learning Management System).

To create and implement a Quiz, Pre-test, or Post-test, we will provide an example of the steps for creating a Pre-test as follows.

1. Go to the Courses menu, then click Assessment.

2. Click “Add” to add a new learning evaluation method.
   

3. Enter the assessment name and assessment type. For example, the name of this evaluation method is Pre-test Business Meetings and Presentations, and the type is Pre-test. Besides the Pre-test, you can choose other options, such as a Quiz or Post-Test. Then, click "Create".
   

4. Thus, the evaluation (assessment) method was successfully created.
   

5. Click on the Assessment name you have created to set its contents.
   

6. You will then be directed to the details page, as shown below. Click "Add" to add a question.
   

7. Then, you can create multiple-choice questions for the assessment in the pop-up that appears.
   

8. After clicking “Create”, the question has been created.
   

9. Any questions you create will appear on this page. You can add more questions by clicking "Add".
   

10. You can also delete an Assessment by clicking the “trash can” icon.
