"Organisations want these capabilities, but they also want the flexibility to use it in a way that fits their specific requirements and business objectives. We took the same approach as we did when we first developed Totara LMS: to provide a tool that’s easy to use and customisable and which requires minimal additional training."

Performance Management has been designed to be as flexible as possible, allowing each organisation to customise it as desired. TotaraLMS provides functionality in four key areas: goal setting, appraisal forms, 360° feedback forms, and detailed reporting. All of this comes standard with Totara 2.5.

This isn’t all. As well as the Performance Management toolset, the release introduces a whole range of new functionality and enhancements to existing features. Here are some of the highlights:

• certifications: create time-limited programs of learning and recertification paths
• audience visibility: make courses and programs visible to specific audiences only
• course-catalog improvements
• course-completion import tool: upload legacy learner-completion data into Totara
• manager delegation: assign a temporary manager to learners
• report builder PDF exports
• instant course and program completion
• new responsive theme: scale Totara to any device size - desktop, mobile, or tablet
