Since its development from 1979, e-learning has increasingly played an important role in training of many organizations.
Traditional classification of e-learning is categorization. Courses are put into common categories such as: business, soft skills, technology, social sciences
From Horizontal to Basket
However, categorization gradually fall shorts in the need of real organizational training. One professional should have a combination of knowledge and skills across various disciplines. For example, a Project Manager should have Project Management skills, Leadership, Technical skills, Interpersonal and Communication skills, Client Management skills, Time Management skill, Coaching skill and so on. All these skills belong to different categories like Management, Soft Skills, Accounting, Technology. Any organization may want to standardize the training “basket” for each position. A basket contains courses/programs/articles that one person should acquire in order to perform a role.
then moves on to integration
Now, let’s take a look at the system as a whole. Training is one important part of an organization. Because it is important, it needs tracking and measurement. Key Performance Indicators can be used on Training as on any other departments.
Then an idea crossed my mind: the computer can be taught to ‘know’ what the employees need to learn in order to
- Follow their career plans
- Satisfy the organization KPI
e-learning should no longer stand alone, it should be integrated into other systems instead.
What technologies are available?
Can Portlet do that? Just a suggestion. I’m leaving this to the experts here.
