Oracle University South Africa has introduced Oracle iLearning, a hosted learning community management solution.
Oracle iLearning provides flexible, cost-effective corporate wide training system, says Volkmar Krieg, senior services representative for Oracle University SA.
Krieg says Oracle iLearning, is a key component of Oracles e-business applications. "It has an intuitive user interface, delivered as a hosted software solution. Oracle iLearning provides effective, manageable, integrated and extensible Internet learning solutions for companies of all sizes with a cost-effective and convenient solution to the challenge of delivering corporate wide training."
In addition, Krieg says, Oracle iLearning is designed to train widely dispersed staff with online learning material that can be reused and which adheres to widely accepted standards. Oracle iLearning also enables all types of organisations to save time and money by providing educational experiences managed from one central location, allowing more people in more places to receive the necessary training online.
"Since Oracle iLearning is offered as a hosted software solution, it can dramatically improve the delivery, administration and maintenance of corporate training by eliminating the need for complicated in-house installation and ongoing software updates. Designated users (administrators, content developers, instructors) can immediately begin creating learning communities and course content to deliver customised, timely training in a browser based, Internet environment.
"In the fast paced world of e-commerce the ability to quickly increase a company`s competence will be the difference between success and failure. eLearning and learning management enable organisations to change direction and improve skills quickly and completely. Oracle iLearning has the capability to immediately impact the value and increase the return on a company`s training investment. "
Krieg reveals that the Oracle Learning Network (OLN) is powered by Oracle iLearning. Launched recently, OLN focuses on the Internet learning needs of the Oracle economy, including the more than one million developers on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
"Internet learning is a fundamental enabler of e-business because it provides employees, customers and suppliers with training customised to their business needs, and delivered when required.
