Oslo, June 2, 2008 - Edvantage group, a pioneer in e-learning solutions, announces today Managed Learning Services. Managed Learning Services is designed to increases the success of learning programmes by providing training departments with end-to-end e-learning solutions, and flexible outsourcing options.
“Organisations today need to constantly adapt and excel as their business changes - but developing and maintaining high quality learning programmes requires a lot of time, effort and skill,” says Thomas Berglund, CEO, Edvantage group. “Most e-learning vendors focus solely on strategy, learning management systems or content development, leaving training departments to put the pieces together themselves. Managed Learning Services solves this problem because it ensures all the pieces work together. Training departments have a team of skilled people they can rely on to help them reach their goals.”
Managed Learning Services supports all the essential components of e-learning, including expertise, technology, and content. The four services are:
-
Learning and Consulting Services – insight, expertise and sharing of best practices to support organisations from strategy development through to implementation and measurement of learning programmes
-
Technology Services – hosted, web-based technologies including, learning management systems (LMS), content development tools and virtual communities, that eliminate the challenge of lengthy installations and make it easier for organisations to selectively or completely outsource system administration and management
-
Content Selection Services - help in finding, comparing and deploying “off-the-shelf” learning content from a selection of over 10,0000 courses from 40 of the world’s leading content providers
-
Content Development Services - creation of high-quality courses, tests, assessments, simulations, scenarios and eductional games that are customised to match specific learning needs
Through flexible outsourcing options, training departments can leverage Edvantage group’s extensive experience and innovative technologies to create more value for their business with less time and effort. This includes supporting organisations with tools, knowledge and resources so that they can “doing-it-yourself”, through to providing full-outsourcing solutions for the development and management of e-learning programmes.
“Providing solutions, not products, is ingrained in the history of our company," continues Berglund. "The Managed Learning Services concept is based on years of experience working with over 400 large organisations. We believe it will accelerate the creation of high quality learning experiences and give training departments an efficient and effective alternative to doing everything themselves. Being a reliable partner is essential to helping customers achieve long-term sustainable results,” concludes Berglund.
