We have long believed that the SavvyAcademy Learning Management System is a tool that can be useful to many departments and purposes across a law firm. Here’s another example! You can require eSignatures as part of your course expectations, or for HR compliance paperwork, and more. Using eSignatures for compliance training and technology training expands the usefulness of your LMS, boosting its ROI, and making achievements easier to manage and track.

Does anyone have to manage more paperwork than your law firm’s HR department? From benefits, to compliance, to new hires, to background checks, to termination proceedings… it goes on and on! Now, your law firm’s HR department can load all that mind-numbing paperwork into the LMS, assign it to specific users, and demand eSignatures as proof of a user’s review.

Similarly, if your firm requires technology training achievements, you can add an eSignature requirement to the end of the coursework to prove that the user made it all the way through the assignment.

Not many technology investments can deliver cross-departmental benefits quite like a learning management system.

eSignatures for Compliance Training

The eSignature feature in the SavvyAcademy LMS meets the requirements for:

• eIDAS Simple Electronic Signature for EU
• UETA, aka Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, for most US states
• E-Sign Act, aka Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, for US

When added, the eSignature module is a required module. Learners cannot complete the course until they enter their names in the module.

The required text that learners sign is up to you: enter the statement directly in the CK editor, or upload a file with your organization’s approved wording.

SavvyAcademy records the learner’s name and adds the date that the learner signed the module.

The following screenshot shows a sample eSignature statement, created in CK Editor, with the learner’s name entered.

The following screenshot shows how Savvy Academy renders the eSignature onscreen, and adds the date to the record.

There are many more ways that you can use eSignatures for compliance training, and for technology training. Would you like to see how it works? Book a quick call using Calendly and we’ll show you!
