Packed with useful features and integrations
Marketing
Drive learners to your courses with an array of e-learning marketing tools, including a versatile slider with a call-to-action button, marketing and promotion spots that can be placed around your LMS, and other upselling tools.
Monitoring
Spark’s Team Chart add-on gives line managers an at-a-glance overview of their team members’ progress, while the custom Overdue Respondents block allows trainers to monitor and prompt learners who have not completed courses or feedback.
Integrating
Hook up your theme to Google Analytics and the core features of Moodle or Totara to save valuable time for administrators and managers, while also delivering a better learning experience for learners.
Personalising
Spark’s Intuitive dashboards make for a highly personalised learning experience. Upcoming courses, stats and achievements, and bookmarked activities are just a few examples of custom data you can display for each of your learners.
Highlighting
With our custom slides add-on, FAQ block, featured content and video tools, you can put the things that really matter in front of your learners. Give an extra push to mandatory courses or save time by quickly sharing key information.
Engaging
Each user’s courses can be featured on their dashboard, with the option to return to their most recently accessed course at the click of a button. With certificates and performance stats also featured, everything is geared towards engaging your learners.
Making your budget stretch further
Drawing on our experience of building hundreds of Moodle and Totara sites since 2005, we’ve developed a suite of tools to provide much of the additional functionality that we’ve seen deliver impressive results for our customers. Instead of eating into your budget as bespoke development projects, these are now available to use with the Spark theme.
Promoting key courses
Whether you’re improving compliance levels among your team or upselling courses to customers, Spark gives you all the tools you need to succeed. With blocks to showcase featured courses and videos, slides with clickable buttons, testimonials and upcoming events, plus versatile marketing spots, you’ll have plenty of ways to grab your learners’ attention and point them in the direction.
Boosting morale
Keep your learners engaged with the help of Spark’s morale-boosting premium features. Display certificates, badges and course stats on each user’s dashboard to give them a motivational (and memory-jotting) overview of their achievements to date, while also encouraging them to keep working towards their next goal.
Giving users an easier life
As well as all the UX enhancements that come as standard, you can use Spark add-ons to make life even easier for your learners. Users can bookmark important activities to appear in their dashboard, instantly see all their current courses and pick up where they left off by immediately returning to their most recently accessed course.
Keeping learners in the loop
Create a beautiful blog within Moodle or Totara, then display your latest news articles, blog posts and events on your LMS homepage so your learners can keep track of what’s happening. Display post titles, introductions or descriptions and featured images within an automatically transitioning carousel.
Distilling what we know works
Some of the most important aspects of our work include a strong focus on UX design, making budgets go further by encouraging the use of tried and tested add-ons, and future-proofing sites by keeping the amount of custom development involved to a minimum. Spark delivers all that in a single LMS theme that’s available exclusively to our customers.
