WALLDORF, Germany, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced that SAP® Learning Hub has grown to
over 500,000 users and is helping companies cut costs and time to
train employees. With more than 5 million learning assignments
accessed by the end of the first quarter of 2017, SAP Learning Hub
is a comprehensive enablement program that offers a wide range of
collaborative tools and educational content designed to provide SAP
software users with the tools for success. Launched as a full-scale
cloud-based offering, SAP Learning Hub is the largest learning
platform used worldwide to learn about SAP software.
The platform provides learners with opportunities for
peer-to-peer interaction, discussion forums and collaboration and
direct access to experts. These features are available in every SAP
Learning Room, in which Learning Journey documents can also be
accessed. Over 100 Learning Journey documents are included in SAP
Learning Hub.
Each "stop" on the way to mastery in a Learning Journey can take
one of a variety of customizable formats, based on learning goals.
Learners have the opportunity to participate through:
- SAP Learning Rooms are interactive, virtual spaces that
give members access to expert-led events, collaborative community
video features and gamified concepts. Included is the reputation
program, which allows learners to collect points, win badges and
complete missions and challenges. Seventy four percent of the
participants of SAP Learning Hub use SAP Learning Rooms once a
week, with 70 percent saying they found them easy to use.
- Diverse learning formats include e-learning courses,
course e-books and the latest delta training with content that is
always up-to-date. In addition, newly implemented stand-alone
assessments provide learners with feedback that alerts them to
where their knowledge gaps are and how to close them.
- Enterprise MOOCs are massive open online courses
provided through the openSAP platform included in SAP Learning Hub.
MOOCs allow users to learn at their own pace based on tried and
trusted classroom concepts.
- The SAP Live Access environment is a live, fully
supported private SAP software environment with over 400 training
systems that simulate hands-on experience with SAP software. The
environment includes access to real, but anonymized customer
data.
SAP Learning Hub has helped corporate adopters such as IBM,
Mercedes-Benz and Zurich Insurance Group meet their corporate
learning initiatives. Accomplishments include:

percent lower average cost per employee training session as
compared to the previous year. It earned the 2016 Brandon Hall
Learning and Development Bronze award for "Best Learning Program
Supporting a Change Transformation Business Strategy."
