EnergyU Enhances Course Development By Selecting Trivantis Corporation's Lectora
EnergyU.org America's largest online utility, pipeline, and contractor learning portal has dramatically enhanced its course development and customer customization flexibility by selecting Trivantis Corporation's Lectora as its course creation software.
Eagan, MN (PRWEB) June 19, 2009 -- EnergyU.org, a service of Midwest ENERGY Association (MEA), America's largest online utility, pipeline, and contractor learning portal has dramatically enhanced its course development and customer customization flexibility by selecting Trivantis Corporation's Lectora as its course creation software.
Now the over 400 companies relying on EnergyU for gas and liquids field OSHA and DOT qualification training, electric field training, customer service and management development can deploy the courses across more learning management systems in plug and play SCORM and AICC formats.
"We are building the Electric Competency Library and all new ASME B 31Q modules in Lectora because it will run on the wide variety of systems our members and customer have installed." explained Don Szambelan, chief learning officer for MEA. "For the more than 100,000 employee students who are or have used EnergyU, they will not notice the change. But for IT departments and training departments, the change means fewer integration challenges and an even more powerful tool to use in customizing the courses we make."
"The secret to EnergyU's success," said Patrick Van Beek, president of MEA, "is collaboration. Thousands of hours of subject matter expertise from companies as diverse as off shore platform operators, to the largest utilities, municipal utilities and contractors of all sizes means our courses represent the 'best and brightest' content at the very lowest possible cost. The user group's decision makes it even easier to contribute to the quality and breadth of offerings. Our library is always expanding."
Procter & Gamble, Pfizer, Northrop Grumman, and many other major organizations, universities, and government agencies use Lectora. It was recently selected as one of the best course authoring tools by readers of Elearning Magazine.
"Today's employee learner wants the knowledge and skills they need as fast and as efficiently as possible," Said Szambelan. "They demand training that engages them with activities, animations, cut-a-ways, learning games, and simulations. Because we have so many collaborating companies within EnergyU.org, we can afford to put these high quality, but expensive, features into our courses. Individual utilities, pipelines, or contractors cannot typically afford this level of development expense on their own. By choosing Lectora as a common development platform we make the development and use of the materials even easier."
"We continue to rely on CERTPOINT Systems as our learning management system for EnergyU and the Utility Leadership Academy," continued Patrick Van Beek. Their delivery system offers Web based, intranet, and CD-ROM options for each customer. Lectora courses run seamlessly on the CERTPOINT platform. Since many of our customers have their own learning management systems, Lectora simply gives them courses that run more easily on whatever system they have internally."
