Atlanta, February 15, 2008 -- Kaplan IT Learning, a leading provider of learning services and software to help individuals and organizations train on software technology, announces the release of STT InfoShare, a new eLearning lesson deployment solution for STT Trainer.
Kaplan's STT Trainer enables authors to quickly create end-user simulation training for any enterprise-wide application such as Enterprise Resource Planning, Call Centers or any custom software application. STT InfoShare provides organizations with a powerful and affordable delivery platform for STT Trainer lessons and other Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) content, the collection of standards and specifications for web-based e-learning.
With STT InfoShare, customers can seamlessly deploy STT Trainer lessons directly into a SCORM-conformant platform and assign lessons to individuals based on their role within the organization. The product enables organizations to deliver the precise training needed by employees to quickly become proficient on the organization's software applications.
"The introduction of STT InfoShare helps Kaplan IT Learning meet the needs of companies looking for a way to effortlessly deploy training lessons to their workforce," said Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning. "Companies will be able to place their training content into one location, allowing convenient accessibility for the learners. It also will enable training managers to administer training programs easily and efficiently."
Chief Learning Officers, IT project managers, training managers and human resource managers use STT Trainer to reduce the time and cost required to train and support end users on applications ranging from specialized ERP and CRM systems to more generally used Windows, Web and Java-based applications.
STT InfoShare features include:
Powerful learner and lesson management – to ensure that employees receive the exact training they need, at any time, to become proficient on their organization’s applications. Learners can be matched to content based on criteria such as job role within the organization, department and location. Job roles and searchable keywords are entered directly into the lessons for easy, seamless assignment of lessons to learners. SCORM-conformant functionality allows training administrators to upload SCORM courseware from third party vendors so learners can find their training content in one location.
Effective user management - enabling assignment of Student, Manager or Administrator profiles. Users can be assigned to cost centers, business units, and geographic areas for appropriate tracking and flexible managerial reporting. Learners can be linked to their respective managers for reporting and course approvals.
Flexible performance and progress reports - to provide insight to managers on individual and organizational performance. Managers can review program progress statistics by viewing web-based reports which can be downloaded into Excel, and can filter performance reports by learners or by course. Enhanced data filtering allows administrators to produce performance and progress reports by cost centers, business units, organizational departments or geographic regions.
