As a client of Laragh Skills, you have a choice on how you deploy the SkillSoft courses.

Whatever you do, you will need a Learning Management System, or LMS. There are several LMSs on the market. SkillSoft’s version is called SkillPort. You can use SkillPort as a hosted service – you access the courses over the internet; or install it on your company’s intranet.

The easiest option – we call it “no mess, no fuss” is the hosted option. It can be made available to you within minutes, and updates automatically become available. Courses can be downloaded for use offline, with results being uploaded as soon as you logon to the system again. 

If you prefer to install SkillPort on your company intranet, you will need a server to load it on, and Microsoft’s SQL server database and IIS. Technical specifications can be supplied on request.

SkillSoft’s courses will also run on other LMSs.

In conclusion, SkillPort is the LMS of choice for hundreds of companies around the world. It is user friendly and has a simple interface which is very easy to navigate. The platform is robust and reliable and can be personalized, allowing companies to add their own branding, colours, configuration options, content management and user administration.

Skillport is flexible enough to accommodate elements of programme design and build blended learning solutions. The user management tools also allow administrators to monitor and create reports for individual learners. With the hosted option, users also have constant access to further mentoring and support.

SkillPort will launch, track and manage other SCORM or AICC compliant courses.
