4-Mar-2010 Caja Madrid -
established for some 300 years and currently Spain's fourth largest
financial group - has revolutionised its training systems through the
use of a learning content management system (LCMS) augmented by a
learning management system.
The
new system - supplied by Giunti Labs, the leading learning and mobile
content management solution provider - is intended to improve both the
efficiency and cost effectiveness of Caja Madrid's staff training
activities.
High levels of employee productivity and efficiency are crucial to
Caja Madrid's continued success and growth. This is the main reason why
Giunti Labs' learn eXact LCMS represents the most suitable solution for
the organisation's training contents production and management.
The project - known as 'Aula Virtual de Caja Madrid' - aims to
exploit, and profit from, Caja Madrid's as well as its partners' and
collaborators' knowledge. All this is possible through a special system
for learning materials development and delivery which is aligned to
market rhythm and requirements.
This brand new 'Aula Virtual' supports a web-based content
development method that can be used by internal and external subject
matter experts as well as by learning object (LO) providers. Since LOs
are then managed on the same LCMS and labelled with the same metadata
schema, the whole process becomes more efficient from both content reuse
and update points of view.
"The learn eXact LCMS solution allows Caja Madrid to organise -
according to industry standards - all its learning content into one
single content management system and digital repository," explained
Giunti Labs' CEO, Fabrizio Cardinali.
"Most importantly, the legacy content of a huge number of
instructor-led courses is being transferred into the system and tagged
with a SCORM-based metadata and taxonomies framework. The same framework
is also applied to all e-learning content.
"To ensure the efficient reuse and quality of the content, all third
party content producers use learn eXact for their content production
and management," he said.
In February 2009, Caja Madrid adopted the SCORM 2004 standard for
all its learning materials and recently began insisting that all those
providing its learning materials did so with Giunti Labs' SCORM 2004
conformant eXact Packager software.
In April 2009, Giunti Labs' eXact Lobster Digital Repository was
installed in Caja Madrid and content providers started generating
content connected to Giunti Labs' eXact Lobster at Caja Madrid. In the
first months of 2010, Caja Madrid's employees have begun using the
resulting learning content.
