What's included?
All editions provide complete tool sets and services for AVETMISS, USI, and SRTO compliance. They also include major business productivity features that you would expect in any RTO Software made easy, such as:
Integrated with TGA:
A complete interface with the Australian Qualifications Framework hosted on the Training.gov.au website. These services are regularly maintained and updated by Bluegem saving you the trouble of having to manually update your training scope, implement compliance rules and changes, or concern yourself with whether or not you have the most up-to-date system.
Online Learning and Assessment:
Bluegem offers three SCORM compliant LMS solutions, LMS Lite is included with all editions except Community. This is ideal if you deliver eLearning content, but assess competencies face to face; or assessment can be done using the Bluegem Online Assessment and Free Text (essay-style) assessment tools. If you need fully fledged SCORM with built in quizzes and full tracking, then you can purchase our FULL SCORM Add-On module. You can use any SCORM authoring tool like Articulate, Captivate, Lectora, etc... to design and publish your content for both options. But LMS Lite will enable you to also deliver non-SCORM content such as a collection of PDFs, HTML Files, Word Docs, Powerpoint and Video files.
Recently, we have introduced SCORM 2004 compliance to our own built-in LMS to track interactions, quiz results and bookmark slides. Click below to learn more.
Document Library:
All editions include a built-in document library that can store any documents, images, reports and videos related to your business. You can manage access levels even for students and corporate clients. Your students can create folders and upload documents such as completed assignments or evidence of on-the-job training and assessment.
Staff Qualification Register:
Keeps track of your trainer and assessor capabilities, qualifications, experience, professional development activities and performance reviews. You can easily run reports to demonstrate that your team members have the necessary credentials to do their jobs.
Application Program Interface (API):
Bluegem implements the latest and most sophisticated Web API technology from Microsoft. The API enables you to integrate Bluegem with your corporate website, your internal business systems, obtain custom reports and RSS feeds, create custom dashboards and much, much more.
Custom Report Builder:
We use this for Certificate and Email templates, and you can use it in your solution to modify templates and to generate your own data-driven custom reports. Bluegem provides a comprehensive set of business objects that give you secure access to the data you need to create the reports that really matter to your business.
Email Templates and Notifications:
As you would expect of any advanced business-software solution, Bluegem provides a rich set of workflows that deliver reports, reminders and notifications. Email templates let you control format, audience, method of delivery (Manual / Auto), attachments and merge data fields necessary to effectively communicate your business-critical messages. SMS text-message Notifications are also available as an Add-on.
Feedback and Issues:
Or "Complaints and Appeal" in ESOS terminology. This tool lets your stakeholders participate in continuous ongoing improvement by contributing feedback in a structured issue-management-and-corrective-action system that is fully tracked, private and transparent for all contributing parties.
Import / Export Data:
If you're an RTO reporting all activity through AVETMISS then you'll be happy to know that importing your data into Bluegem could not be easier. We have a fully functional and automated AVETMISS Importer that will see you migrated and fully operational in Bluegem in a matter of hours with minimal cost. In fact if your data was fully verified and accepted by the NCVER AVETMISS Verification Software - the service may be free of charge. We also have numerous data importers and exporters to facilitate the migration of data in and out of the system. Often, CSV Import / Export for one-off jobs is easier than implementing the API. But we advise that it is less secure and not well suited for frequent or real-time data exchanges. In these circumstances the API is always a better option.
Certificate Verification:
All Bluegem Certificate templates include a QR Code verification that links back to the Certificate Register. This enables your certificates to be verified by anyone looking to employ your students or enrol them into further training. QR Code electronic verification can save your business a fortune in expensive paper, elaborate watermarks and and the sheer cost of print.
