The course “e-Learning Best Practice with OLM” took place on 15th December 2009 at Oracle Corporations London offices. The course was heavily subscribed and included understanding the implementation of SCORM 1.2 compliant e-learning content and best practice in the areas of project management, metadata tracking and content repurposing / remediation.

Oracle Learning Management (OLM) is a unified learning delivery system that allows organisations to extend training to employees, customers, and partners. OLM offers a wide range of functionality, from on-line classroom management to self-service learner joining options / enrolment. The following link takes you to a video that shows you OLM in action. However, this seminar focused on developing e-Learning content NOT administration features of OLM.

OLM supports SCORM 1.2 and hopefully future releases will support greater SCORM functionality. OLM is tightly integrated with the Oracle Human Resources applications, leveraging existing organisation structures, management hierarchies and employee data.

Working closely with Oracle we identified the need to offer a forum of sharing in practical skills, challenges and approaches for implementing effective e-Learning solutions, for example: re-mediation, re-purposing and selecting meta-data models are just as important as developing content itself. In addition, learning paths and selecting the most appropriate tracking data from learners should all be part of the initial learning design.

The seminar was presented by Dr Savi S Arora and Jon Turner and leading experts in the field of implementing practical e-Learning solutions.

Dr Savi Arora has been prolific documenter regarding standards for implementing Learning Management Systems, getting content to work, for example and passing tracking data. Dr Savi is the UK Managing Director of Knowledge Hemispheres – an leading e-Learning and New Media production and e-Learning integration company. Also presenting at the conference was Jon Turner, a thought leader and practitioner in the area of e-Learning standards, implementation methodologies and strategy.

Mr Jon Turner is Managing Director of one of Europe’s leading e-Learning companies: Quistor.

After the event all the attendees were given access to streaming video, audio and materials presented on the day.

e-Learning Case Study – BCS

The British Computer Society is one of the four United Kingdom examination boards that offers the Vocational Qualification for Information Technology, known as the ITQ. It is aimed at Information Technology users, and demonstrates staff competence in the use of IT in the workplace. It is offered at levels 1, 2 and 3. The fundamental difference with ITQ, unlike any other IT User qualification, is that it is highly customisable. The content of the qualification can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the workplace and employee, as well as the skills level of your chosen disciplines. In other words, the employer ends up having ‘created’ their own ITQ. We have worked closely with the BCS on a number of eLearning projects.

Firstly to provide an e-Portfolio supported by an email back engine. For example, candidates can submit their work to their assessors and validators on-line. Their work is stored in what could be considered a wallet (ePortfolio). Once approval has been given for each stage of the assessment process evidence can be locked, unlocked, reviewed, assessed and validated. Throughout the process auditing, information updates to the candidate and quality sampling techniques rely on an agreed workflow.

Recently a web-services link has been established between e-Skills. The link facilitates a pre-assessment to take place for learning pathways. Registrations are automatically driven into the e-Portfolio system at BCS.

Currently, Knowledge Hemispheres designed and hosted system support over 16,000 users.
