How do I integrate the ErgoWize DSE training course with my organisation's existing LMS? EssentialSkillz have integrated the ErgoWize training content with several different Learning Management Systems (LMS) including SABA, NETg, Cornerstone, Moodle and Plateau. Why integrate? It simply does not make sense for an organisation to have more than one LMS. An LMS not only delivers e-learning content across an organisation, it also maintains a training history for every user on the system. It is essentially a training database for all online (and sometimes classroom) delivered training. It would not make much sense to have Health & Safety training records in one LMS, IT training in another and management training in yet another database. Besides most of the administration required with an LMS is the constant updating of employee details such as changes of department or location plus the addition of new starters and removal of leavers. Benefits There are three main benefits to having one primary LMS and integrating all content, including Health & Safety training into one system:
Integrating ErgoWize e-learning content The ErgoWize course is SCORM 1.2 compliant, so lends itself to fast and easy integration with SCORM 1.2 compliant LMS. Examples of where our training content has been integrated into other LMS include:
Can I integrate the ErgoWize DSE Risk Assessment with my organisation's existing LMS? While it is relatively easy to integrate the ErgoWize DSE course into any SCORM compliant LMS, it is not so easy to provide an online risk assessment to learners. However, unlike our competitors, EssentialSkillz can provide full blown, real-time "SCORM Integration". The reason for the complications surrounding the integration of the risk assessment is that standard LMS are built to deliver and track training courses and do not contain the specialist functionality built in to create, deliver, track, report and manage the resolution of risk assessment concerns. Our specialist LMS, O-LAS, will be required to deliver this functionality. For O-LAS to work seamlessly with an organisation's primary LMS, a certain amount of integration work needs to be undertaken. EssentialSkillz proprietary Online Learning & Assessment System (O-LAS) can best be described as a four-in-one system, providing the following functionality:
Our Display Screen Equipment (DSE) solution, ErgoWize, is a two part solution comprising:
To deliver this solution, we utilise the first two parts of O-LAS, namely the LMS and the Risk Assessment software. When a customer already has an LMS, then this LMS can act as the primary LMS and replace the existing LMS functionality within O-LAS. However, the primary LMS will not be able to deliver the second part of the solution, the self risk assessment. Therefore, we need to integrate O-LAS with the customer's primary LMS to provide the a viable solution to their DSE compliance needs. Why a SCORM Integration? Without a full SCORM integration, Health & Safety departments would have to maintin a separate employee database on a separate LMS. Employees would need a separate username and password to a separate LMS/Risk Assessment system and training data would have to periodically downloaded from one system and uploaded to another, with all the issues of trying to match data from one database to another.
