Vancouver, British Columbia (PRWEB) November 26, 2004 -- As more and more companies look to develop eLearning programs to train their staff, but lack the resources and expertise to put together and manage these projects, eLearn Campus is now open for business. It offers the only Certificate in eLearning Management in Canada, which provides the foundation for building effective eLearning programs.

eLearn Campus offers practical online training and access to expertise, resources, exercises, and supportive eLearning communities to those responsible for managing an organizations eLearning programs.

Our program doesnt involve sitting in a classroom somewhere and learning about on-line learning," says Rick Nigol, Director of eLearn Campus, who is responsible for developing the program and is one of Canadas top experts on eLearning practice. We want people to actually learn about eLearning by doing eLearning."

A pilot course is now well underway and features people from a number of organizations across Canada, including Canada Post, CIBC, Rogers, and Telus. Midway through the course, the feedback from participants is extremely positive.

Upon completing the Certificate in eLearning Management participants will be able to:

• Prepare a training needs assessment

• Prepare learning objectives tied to organizational objectives

• Prepare course outlines and lesson plans based on best practice approaches to eLearning

I know a lot of organizations struggle with eLearning," says Mr. Nigol. We started eLearn Campus with that in mind. Our program is designed for those who want to take a logical, systematic and results-oriented approach to managing eLearning projects." Mr. Nigol will be presenting a workshop at the Conference Board of Canadas Workplace Education and learning Symposium: Investing in People on Monday, November 29, 2004 in Toronto.
