Empowering L&D stakeholders to use relevant data, gain insights and take actions.

Gain Insights

How do you know that your organization’s learning programs are effective?

ALPS Ibex is a cloud-based solution that offers greater insight into your organization’s learning and development (L&D) through leading edge learning evaluation, analytics and feedback. Our solution empowers L&D stakeholders to use relevant data, gain insights and take actions within their roles throughout the process.

This is accomplished by gathering and integrating data from surveys, assessments, and observations, and other sources, and then analyzing and displaying relevant data and insights in dynamic dashboards across stakeholder groups. That means you can spend less time on logistics and more time using data to improve your business. ALPS Ibex enables L&D professionals to become valued learning, performance and impact consultants and coaches in their organizations and other L&D stakeholders to become savvy consumers of evaluation data.

Learners

Improve learning through survey and assessment feedback that supports meaningful conversations with other learners, instructors, coworkers and managers.

Instructors

Improve learner and instructor performance by taking action on insights and feedback from surveys, observations, and assessments.

Managers

Improve decisions with evidence-based insights to enhance learning, instructor performance, program effectiveness, transfer, and impact.

Dashboards

Customizable displays that allow for fast and flexible presentation of data and insights to stakeholders.

ALPS Ibex provides L&D stakeholders customizable dashboards that deliver the role-relevant data and insights needed to drive improvement and increase impact. Dashboards can be customized to curate data around stakeholder groups, themes, and questions. Dashboards can include data from one or multiple sources. ALPS Ibex dashboards include:

Assessment Data Manager and Gradebook

Powerful insights into learner growth and program effectiveness using assessment data.

Grades can be entered directly from any source to integrate with survey and observation data to fuel effectiveness and improvement insights. Instructors can record, monitor and manage their learners’ progress in a user-friendly gradebook interface, which offers other stakeholders fast access to learner and instructor progress across all classes in the program.

The ALPS Ibex observation tool supports improving learner and instructor performance and more.

Multiple observation form types supported.

Big Data, Small Data, Easy Integration

ALPS Ibex offers a friendly user experience to integrate your organization’s L&D data into a single platform to generate powerful insights.

No one wants to spend days uploading data from spreadsheets and other files into a new system only to learn the seamless integration is not so seamless and that immediate data access is not so immediate. ALPS Ibex provides a robust upload and integration system that allows a manager to integrate data from many sources and in many file types through a friendly user experience and view customized reports within minutes that includes:

A flexible system that allows importing of data such as users, classes, grades, assessment results, surveys, and survey results.
