CEDIA Online Learning Platform Elevates Education Opportunities for its Members

The CEDIA Online Learning platform is a new Learning Management System (LMS) designed to improve online education for the smart home technology industry. The new platform introduces features to engage learners, streamline management, and provide actionable insights to deliver CEDIA’s smart home industry-specific educational content.

“Education is a core pillar of CEDIA’s mission, and the launch of CEDIA Online Learning represents a significant investment in the future of our industry,” said Daryl Friedman, CEDIA global president and CEO. “This online platform empowers members with the knowledge and skills they need to adapt, innovate, and lead in the ever-changing smart home landscape.”

CEDIA Online Learning includes a full library of courses spanning a variety of topics for learners of all skill levels. The platform combines years-worth of heavily researched education with new content and features.

CEDIA Online Learning features an intuitive interface, offering enhanced activities that make education more engaging and effective. With gamification elements like digital badges, leaderboards, and rewards, users can showcase certifications and credentials while staying motivated through active participation.

CEDIA Online Learning also allows seamless management of employee learning, enabling members to purchase, assign, and evaluate training progress directly within the platform. This integration simplifies administrative tasks and ensures a more cohesive training experience.

Real-time progress tracking and data analysis allow members to identify areas for improvement and ensure higher completion rates. Annual community reports will leverage these insights to shape future educational content to align training opportunities with the evolving needs of the industry.

CEDIA Online Learning offers various delivery methods to cater to different learning styles. Learners can engage with content online, with an instructor, or through on-the-job training, making education more accessible and flexible.

Learners also can quickly get their questions answered by subject matter experts (SMEs) and instructors. Additionally, they can explore answers in the Knowledge Base, ensuring they have the support needed to succeed.

CEDIA continues to expand its educational offerings with exciting new developments, including the highly anticipated Residential Networking Specialist (RNS) certification, now live following a thorough review by CEDIA volunteer experts.
