The LINGOs Learning Platform (LLP) is a state of the art platform that will enable member organizations to host and track a broad range of learning opportunities for global staff. It’s comprised of a WordPress/BuddyPress Commons in a Box front end that members can brand and load with customized messaging and content. Level 2 members can enable communities and groups, as well as a Resource library wiki with your own content. The back end runs on the powerful NetDimensions Talent Suite which allows for member organizations to create their own course catalogs and learning paths and run many different types of reports.

See what it’s all about in the first of a series of monthly demo sessions. Group size is limited so participants can ask questions and see what it’s all about.
