New e-induction launched within the Insolvency Service
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oakham, UK - 03 March, 2010 - Edvantage group, an e-learning company and Managed
Learning Service provider, with the Insolvency Service, have launched a series
of four e-learning modules which replaces the existing induction programme.
The new modules are designed to deliver user-friendly, bite-sized chunks of
learning to the 150 - 250 of new employees each year. Topics covered include
general information, health & safety and security. Users can also revisit any of
the modules by way of a refresher when, and if, required.
The development of the modules was outsourced to Edvantage group. They were
developed using CourseBuilder, a collaborative authoring tool, providing all
those in the joint development team with access to the modules in production.
Edvantage group also provided a consultant Project Manager to work within the
Insolvency Service on a number of projects.
This collaborative approach has proven to be successful on a number of other
projects and ensures that the Insolvency Service gets best value for money. An
accessible version of the programme is also being created and now the ground
work has been done there is no reason why it cannot be adapted for other central
government departments.
The induction modules are delivered through Edvantage group's Learning
Management System, Learning Gateway, which allows the new starters direct access
to the learning and Line Managers can use the system to provide any necessary
support.
Head of People Development & Learning at the Insolvency Service, Roger Taylor,
explains "We are really pleased with this project which involved a number of key
people in the development team. One thing we have learnt is that collaboration
really pays off and by using the right tool you can involve lots of people but
keep the production programme moving."
Mike Newton, Sales Director at Edvantage group says, "By offering our Managed
Learning Service, clients like the Insolvency Service can select the levels of
service they need on an ongoing basis, which allows them to optimise the use of
internal resources."
A previous project created by Edvantage group and delivered through Benson Payne
for the Insolvency Service, Examiner2Manager (E2M), won the Gold award for
'Staff Development Programme of the Year' at the IT Training Awards which
clearly endorses the fact that the Insolvency Service and their preferred
partners are producing e-learning of the highest calibre. Roger Taylor
commented, "Thanks to the IITT for recognising the value of our staff
development programme. It's a fantastic accolade and great for our work to be
recognised in this way. We are very proud of the award."
