Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) Expands Support to Help Large Organizations Turbo-Boost Their In-House e-learning Capabilities
MUMBAI, India, December 5, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
...Imperial College London accelerates content, design and timeliness of learning...
Tata Interactive Systems [http://www.tatainteractive.com/index.html ] (TIS), a pioneer
and global leader in customized learning solutions, today announced that it is increasing
its support to in-house e-learning development teams as a result of demand for online
learning. TIS also reveals three steps organizations can take to "turbo-boost" the
capacity and capabilities of their in-house e-learning development teams.
According to TIS, the UK e-learning market has matured to become a mainstream activity
and for many larger organizations this has meant a sudden growth of in-sourced e-learning
development teams. These departments have been agile in meeting their organizational needs
however the workload for many in-house teams has increased exponentially as they are being
asked to deliver more learning content with fewer resources.
Imperial College London is a science-based institution with a reputation for
excellence in teaching and research that attracts 14,000 students and 6,000 staff. Ashish
Hemani, eLearning Project Manager at the Faculty Education Office, Imperial College London
explains, "E-learning delivers huge benefits to our medical undergraduates, ensuring they
receive consistent learning while on rotation at hospitals around the UK. However, the
success of our e-learning program meant our in-house project team became overwhelmed with
further development requests. Partnering with TIS means we can draw upon additional
development skilled resources without the costs of recruiting in-house or completely
outsourcing development. We are able to share ideas with TIS's experts, benefit from their
experience in novel areas such as 3-D animation and serious games and dramatically reduce
the turnaround time for e-learning development while still delivering high-quality
learning interventions."
Will Chadwick, Vice President of Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) explains, "Over the
past two years, partnering with in-house training and development teams has become an
integral part of TIS's proposition. We work closely with several customers on this basis,
providing them with much needed resources to strategically help meet deadlines, or to help
deliver training projects that perhaps their in-house team have little past experience
with - such as games, story based or mobile learning. Our highly skilled developers can
sit in-house or work remotely in order to develop full e-learning programmes or innovative
learning objects like serious games and 3-D animations to supplement basic e-learning.
Flexibility is key- our TIS developers are highly proficient in using preferred authoring
packages, so the in-house team can manage and update the e-learning when our consultant
finishes working on the project. What's more this blended method of delivering learning
will ensure that learning content remains fresh, innovative and delivers meaningful
results to the business or organization."
To help HR and L&D departments continue to innovative and deliver high quality
learning content Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) suggests a three step review:
1) In-house HR departments and L&D teams first should to review and update
their instructional design processes on a regular basis. Identify where the gaps are
and query if the content can be delivered in a more innovative way to improve
information retention. Limiting e-learning content delivery to "that's how we've
always done things" can have a negative outcome.
2) Assess whether existing authoring tools can be enhanced with the addition of
learning objects such as 3D animations, Serious Games, business simulations or
Flash-based content to 'nail' vital learning objectives located within courses.
3) Organisations should consider bringing either onsite or offshore professional
resources onto specific projects if their e-learning needs exceed the development
team's ability to deliver innovative training in a high-quality and timely way.
External support should not be seen as a threat but a way of enhancing or turbo
boosting existing training capabilities.
