For Highly Representative Performance Appraisals:
i-qbox With the New Module "360 Degree Feedback"

360_DegreeAssessment

For the recently published release, the i-qbox Human Performance Suite has been enhanced with the module "360 Degree Feedback". The new function allows for performance appraisal based on self-assessment and also foreign assessment by supervisors, peers and subordinates. The saved results may be printed as PDF-overview or sent by e-mail. The module covers an evaluation method that is quite widespread in performance appraisal. Thanks to its multi-faceted evaluation perspectives, the module offers an integral, expressive overview.

The new module "360 Degree Feedback" presents an ideal completion for the modules e-Testing, e-Survey or even Competence Management.

i-qbox Upgrade from V5.360 to V5.370:
New Features Contribute to Added Value

The additional module "360 Degree Feedback" is the most significant addition in the new release, but not the only one. The following features offer new options to current and future i-qbox customers:

1. LMS Now With Integrated Forum

i-qbox_Upgrade_V5.370-Forum

The Learning Management System (LMS) of the i-qbox features a new forum that is conveniently managed through the administration interface of the i-qbox. With the next release in June, you will have the possibility to specifically assign forums to curricula, classes, users etc. This development is based on our conviction that forums are only useful if they are closely connected to the respective learning topic.

 

2. HTML Editor With Spellchecker

i-qbox_Upgrade_V5.370-HTML_editor

A new HTML editor for texts, test items, survey pages etc. is available. This editor allows you to use and format HTML elements including tables, links and spellchecking in the familiar environment of an editor window. The new function also supports the creation of e-Trainings in the i-qbox without the help of other external editors.

 

 

3. Player for SCORM Multi-Module WBTs

i-qbox_Upgrade_V5.370-Scorm_player

As of now, the i-qbox features an integrated SCORM player with clear navigation. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is an international standard based on XML, allowing for easy exchange and reutilization of web-based learning content.
SCORM packages that consist of several learning modules can now be imported into the i-qbox and then be provided through the learning platform. The participant's working status of the various modules is directly displayed in the navigation menu.


4. Anonymizer Reduces the Number of User Licenses

In order to save the general statistical data of inactive employees without unnecessarily straining the number of licensed users, old users may be anonymized. The old user is deleted and replaced by an anonymous user. The anonymous user can then only be accessed in the context of reports. Through this minor addition, we support our customers with saving license costs for inactive users. It is our pleasure to help our customers saving costs, even when considering that the i-qbox is characterized by a very advantageous cost-performance ratio.

i-qbox Smart Feature of the Day
   

i-qbox Feature of the Day:
Reports from Practical Experience for Practical Use

i-qbox_Reports

Those in charge of company-wide training have to be able to give detailed information on the usage and offers of trainings and the achieved results. The i-qbox presents varied reports that have all been developed in close collaboration with customers. High practical relevance is, therefore, guaranteed.

No matter how detailed the reporting possibilities are, no worries about data protection: in areas where internal or legal requirements limit the access to data and the degree of personal details, constraints can be administered through the rights management in the system's configurations.

If you need to further edit the data in a specific statistics software, you may export the data as Excel file. What's more, Comartis gladly creates further custom-made report variations that will then be offered to other i-qbox customers as well.

The current reports are easy-to-handle and allow you to answer queries about trainings with well-founded facts and figures - even if numbers need to be produced in a hurry.

Comartis way - the facts and figures way!
