TrainerCentral in 2024: A quick glance

Product updates

To help course creators simplify online training processes and provide the best learning experiences for their audiences, TrainerCentral introduced several key initiatives this year.

Making learning more engaging

We introduced several features to help learners have better experiences. Videos now include timestamps and chapter titles, making it easier to find specific sections. Subtitles and adjustable playback speeds ensure courses meet a variety of learning needs. We also added estimated course durations so learners can plan their schedules more effectively. To top it all off, learners gained the ability to delete their accounts, giving them more control over their personal data.

Providing better tools for training

This year, trainers received practical updates to simplify their work. With AI-powered tools, trainers created course materials and tests more efficiently. Reusable tests made repetitive tasks easier, while detailed learners' performance reports helped trainers provide more focused feedback. Flexible scheduling for recurring sessions also gave trainers more control over their time.

Simplifying the certification process

We made it easier for trainers to manage certifications and for learners to showcase their achievements. Trainers can now issue certificates to selected learners even before they complete their course. Updates to issued certificates ensure any necessary changes can be made without hassle. Plus, learners can now display their certifications on LinkedIn, helping them stand out professionally.

Enhancing security and expanding access

Keeping our platform secure and accessible was another priority this year. We introduced separate domains for trainers and learners to improve data security. Additionally, we integrated Mercado Pago as a payment gateway, making it easier for users across Latin America to access TrainerCentral's features.

Improving course management

We added new tools to help trainers manage courses and learners more effectively. The Groups feature allowed trainers to organize learners into categories, assign moderators, and monitor progress with ease. Video courses also got a boost with customizable thumbnails, making the overall experience more polished and professional.

Major initiatives

To empower course creators, foster a sense of community, and provide valuable insights into the evolving world of online education, TrainerCentral introduced the following initiatives this year:

Nurturing community through newsletters

Our monthly newsletter, Nexus, served as a vital point to keep our customers connected and informed. This year, we expanded our newsletter to include product updates, feature releases, and enhancements. These updates helped our customers make the most of our tools and features for a more effective course creation process. Our newsletters not only provided updates but also served as a source of inspiration and knowledge for our thriving TrainerCentral community.

Thought leadership in EdTech

At TrainerCentral, we built a dedicated space for insights and strategies in the world of online learning through our "E-learning trends" blog category. The articles in this category serve as a repository for online course creators and educators to stay updated on various topics like online coaching, employee training, course design, and more.

Our blog continues to be a go-to resource for trainers and course creators aiming to stay ahead in the EdTech industry.

Ignite: Empowering course creators

Ignite is our initiative to support course creators with free, expert-led courses on course creation, marketing strategies, and instructional design. More than a learning space, it's a community where course creators can connect, grow, and share ideas. With insightful courses and live meetups, Ignite brings course creators together to collaborate and succeed.

Looking ahead

2024 has been a transformative year for TrainerCentral, where every feature and enhancement was designed with a single goal: to empower trainers and create meaningful learning experiences for their audiences. From leveraging AI to simplifying processes to strengthening security, we've continued to evolve as a platform to meet the dynamic needs of our community. As we look to the future, our commitment remains steadfast to innovate, inspire, and support you in your journey of shaping online training for a brighter tomorrow. Here's to an even more impactful 2025.
