Dès 12h30 : Participation à l’atelier sur le “eLearning dans les PME”

Dès 14h00 : Animation de la conférence sur “Les technologies de la formation au service des besoins et contraintes spécifiques des PME”

Le eLearning n’est pas réservé aux grandes entreprises… Au contraire : il répond particulièrement bien aux besoins et contraintes des PME. Formation juste à temps pour servir l’impératif de réactivité, de courte durée et distancielle pour éviter une mobilisation longue des collaborateurs clés, formation pratique, interactive, s’appuyant sur des cas concrets… Le eLearning constitue une formidable opportunité pour les PME. Les technologies en ont pris la mesure à l’image de celles de MindOnSite qui aujourd’hui sont utilisées aussi bien par les PME que par de grandes entreprises. Elles permettent de concevoir et de diffuser de façon efficace et conviviale des contenus et parcours de formation qui font la part belle au eLearning et à l’évaluation des compétences acquises.

Pascal Lardeux testifies: «The main advantage of MOS Chorus is that it provides support throughout the whole content creation process, in a flexible and structured manner, by breaking the modules down into small chunks. The result convinced numerous local teams that it was preferable to use the modules developed in this way rather than to develop them separately.»…

Brigitte Hänggi testifies: «This involves configuring the way lessons are allocated to learners, deciding on the timeframes during which eLearning modules can be accessed, etc. As MOS Chorus is really easy to use, we were given a short training course to learn how to manage it. If on rare occasions we need to implement more complex features, we call upon MOS to help us.»…

STS Sauter Training & Simulation SA

is a company specialising in project management training, based in Lausanne. STS tools have been translated into 10 languages and distributed throughout the world. Since 1996, they have helped to train more than 40,000 project managers in 26 countries. STS has also developed a programme to prepare for PMI and IPMA certification exams. A combination of eLearning, classroom-based training and coaching allows candidates to prepare in the best possible way. STS also offers mock exam PMI and IPMA D exams – an excellent way to prepare.

Their eLearning project

Project management training was dispensed by an LMS – 4D Solution – created by STS as a proprietary solution. LMS and content are not completely separate. Changes in structure and content were hard to implement. The proprietary solution required a lot of maintenance. Acquiring the MOS Chorus LMS allowed us to separate content and administration. Compliance with SCORM standards ensures that STS training runs smoothly on the MOS system.

The benefits of MOS

To manage eLearning, STS chose MOS Chorus, developed by MOS – MindOnSite. This product allows for the efficient management of numerous users of our eLearning; its user-friendly interface won us over. Through direct collaboration with MOS – MindOnSite, MOS Chorus was customised to be able to perform certain functions specific to our eLearning – in particular handling questions in open text format. A partnership between STS and MOS allows companies who want to move into the world of eLearning to start with an initial training project involving project management, and acquire a complete solution at an interesting price: the eLearning distribution system and project management are part of a single package. www.sts.ch
