Presentation of Elearnit services

1. Know How to Know
elearnit: a network of consultants to help your company grow
Licence-free Learning Management System (LMS)
Today, many companies use training as a major driver for their development.
But how much does training cost? How many people are involved? What guarantees of result do you have?
E-learning gives you the possibility to train people while saving time and money.
We use Open Source software: it is licence-free, the community guarantees continuous update and its
open code makes it easy to modify and customize.
Elearnit offers you a range of efficient and simple services that you can always integrate in your company
processes.
A service, not a Software
Web training doesn’t mean buying a software program. It means setting up and putting into a web
management system all your training and document sharing activities and all your procedures,
or at least the ones you want to manage online.
Elearnit can support you in all your corporate needs: e-learning platform (LMS), installation and
configuration of the Lms, production of custom-made content, off-the-shelf courses, virtual
classroom applications.
We and our partners can offer you all of this, with the most of customization.
Elearnit finds the best and most cost-effective solution for you and your needs and supports you during all
the process.

2. The LMS: installation, assistence
The Learning Management System (LMS) is the keystone to manage your web-based training.
The LMS is the application that allows you to manage the web-based courses: it is a
group of applications that manages delivery, training, the “social” tools such as chat or forum,
enrollment and tracking.
Thanks to the SCORM standard, with this application you can track the users’ training
sessions and his/her training activities (what content he/she has seen, for how much time,
how much he/she scored in tests…).
All this information is always available in the application’s database and can be easily exported
in excel for further analysis.
We made the strategic choice to use open-source application (cheaper, more stable, more
“open” and thus much simpler to modify and fix, no problem for updates).
We use two of the most widely used systems, already adopted by multinationals, small and big
companies, universities and schools around the world: docebo and moodle.
Features:
- Support SCORM 1.2 and its updates
- Quick and easy upload of any file (word, excel, video, audio, etc...)
- Sms or e-mail notifications to users
- Virtual classroom, chat, forum
- Messages, announcements, notebook function
- Tests, polls
- Faq, Help, Link List, Glossary, integrated Wiki tool
- Customisable reporting (user report, course report…)
- You can easily reproduce your organisation chart and further divide your users into
groups
- Can be interfaced with HR and ERP applications (SAP HR, Lotus…) and authentication
system such as LDAP and Active Directory
Elearnit supports you in the installation, configuration and maintenance of the
system.
The installation is web-based. The LMS can be hosted on your server or on ours.
The – optional – maintenance is cared for by Elearnit

3. Training on how to use the LMS
The courses are held in your premises, with a per-day cost. The number of days is your choice,
but we suggest at least two days. It is also possible to match the classroom training with phone
or Skype-based training.
The topics we will cover are as follows:
1) The LMS
Features and structure of the LMS, how you can use it and organise it for the best – according
to your needs. Training on how to use it as an administrator, as a teacher and as a user.
1.1) Back-end/Administrator
- Structures, privileges, roles
- General LMS configuration
- Customisation
- Organisation chart, groups
- Creation of learning courses, enrollment of the students
1.2) Teacher
- Creation or upload and management of the Learning material
- Reporting, stats, Gradebook
1.3) User
- Use of the LMS as a user
2) E-learning training
Web-based training is different from classroom training (and remember that you can always
blend them). We’ll guide you to analyse these differences, to understand the different roles
and to choose the tools that best fit your business needs, among those available:
- Classroom training vs web-based training
- Features of a web-based training environment
- The Roles: user, teacher, process tutor and content tutor
- The training tools: Scorm objects, tests, files, forum, chat, virtual classroom
- How to organise courses and classes
3) The Learning Object
The LMS allows you to use multimedia learning objects (with audio, video, interactivity…) but
you can also re-use documents and files you already have. You can do produce them
yourself, you can buy them from any vendor or from Elearnit.
Anyway, it is good to know features, potentialities and creation techniques of the learning
objects so you can plan them with us, buy them or create them yourself through the use of
simple software applications.
- How to transform traditional learning material in e-learning material
- Multimedia objects
- Tests
- How to plan your courses
- Course authoring application: Articulate Suite, Adobe Captivate, eXelearning.

4. Consulting for the configuration of your LMS
Configuring the LMS is easy, just like our training makes it easy for you to decide roles,
functions, courses and group organisation.
However, if you want to outsource fully or partially this activity, elearnit is here to support you
in this delicate part of an e-learning project.

5. Custom-made courses
Elearnit can produce custom-made courses, planned together with you, starting from the
documents you normally use.
If you want a custom-made course, about your internal procedure, your sales policies, a presentation of
your plants or machines to give you to your dealers, a guide on how to use your products…..no problem!
Elearnit and its partners can work on any project with strict and bullet-proof schedules and costs: we do
this every day.

Elearnit offers you a catalogue of standard courses, made by the best producers of learning
objects.

Virtual classroom
Elearnit offers you a virtual classroom application. You can lead your training activities with
audio, webcam, chat, moderation and desktop sharing.
The virtual classroom can be integrated in the LMS: user participation, times and dates of the
virtual classroom training can be set directly from the LMS.
The desktop sharing tool allows the teacher to show the students his/her desktop and what
he/she is doing, accompanying the activity with a voice comment.
Chat and “status” functions allow students to show their approval or that they need further
explanations, without interrupting the teacher.
The teacher can give or take away the students their audio and video.
