Are you thinking about using blink.it for digital training in your company? In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions that companies have about the blink.it learning platform, which you have probably also asked yourself.
As an HR developer or L&D manager in your company, are you currently looking for a suitable tool for digital training? Choosing the right LMS for a company is often not that easy. Perhaps blink.it is already on your shortlist, but some questions remain unanswered. To support you in your decision, we have collected and answered the most common questions from HR managers and L&D professionals:
Question 1: Is blink.it GDPR-compliant?
Data security is, of course, a top priority in companies! With blink.it you don't have to worry about this, though: The handling of all data is, self-evidently, GDPR-compliant. Here are some of the many measures we take to protect your data, that of your employees, and your company:
All blink.it employees have completed basic training on data protection in accordance with GDPR.
A trained data protection officer takes care of the security and use of personal data at blink.it.
All of our platform servers are located in Germany, specifically in Frankfurt am Main. You can read all the details in our Data Processing Agreement (PDF). In addition, you can find other important tips that you should keep in mind in companies in the article “Data Protection and E-Learning”.
Question 2: Can I customize the branding?
The appearance of your online courses easily adapts to your company. Options include, among other things: your own logo, your own CI colors, and individual background images.
To ensure that everything actually looks professional in the end, we do not generate the branding automatically, unlike many other tool providers. With us, a professional designer takes care of perfectly implementing your company's branding on the blink.it platform.
Here you can see two examples of blink.it customers and what their custom branding looks like:
Question 3: How quickly can I implement blink.it?
When it comes to software and learning platforms, many HR managers think of processes taking months: From the time of booking, the entire IT has to be restructured and adapted first. It can easily take weeks or months from the decision to use a tool to its first live deployment.
With blink.it, this is much simpler and faster:
From the time of booking, it only takes about one business day for your platform to be fully set up. This is mainly because blink.it does not need to be installed as software, but can be accessed directly in any browser.
Now you can already create courses and content and familiarize yourself with your new platform. Corporate design usually follows within a week. So you can start with blink.it within a week!
Question 4: Can I integrate blink.it into our existing LMS?
Do you already have an LMS and want to use blink.it to create your online courses?
With our newly developed LMS Connector, you can easily transfer your blink.it content to your LMS! Your learning progress is, of course, included. This means you can use blink.it in the future as a fully integrated learning platform alongside your existing LMS.
For example, you can set up an online course on the blink.it platform. You can embed the course into your existing LMS via a course link. Additionally, you can import user data from almost any other system into blink.it and synchronize it.
Or you can connect blink.it to your company's intranet. Your employees do not need to register separately and can access the blink.it course directly. If your employees now pass a blink.it course with a certificate, for example, blink.it can report the completion of the course back to your LMS. This way, you always have all the information in your existing LMS and can still enjoy all the benefits of blink.it.
Question 5: Can I use blink.it without an email address?
E-learning without an email address - is that possible? The answer is yes! We want to make sure that absolutely ALL employees in your company can participate in training measures. Often, employees in factories, shops, or field service either do not have their own email address or use accounts outside the company network. That's why with blink.it you can:
Register employees with personnel numbers, UIDs, or freely selectable usernames.
Combine login with SSO or user data synchronization.
Question 6: Is there support for implementing my online courses?
With blink.it, you are not just buying a learning platform, but a comprehensive concept for corporate training. Of course, we support our corporate customers in all crucial areas even after the “tool purchase”:
For general questions and minor issues, you can contact our customer support. Support and our developers work closely together to quickly resolve technical difficulties for you.
As a corporate customer, we provide you with a personal Customer Success representative. They will support you individually in all aspects regarding the daily use of blink.it to make your online courses in the company as sustainable and successful as possible. This goes from course concept to tips on motivating your employees.
