ForceTen LCMS Registers eLearning Success with Kadaster
February 14th, 2007, London, United Kingdom - Kadaster, also known as the Dutch mapping and Cadaster agency, chose ForceTen™ (LCMS to improve the way it trained its staff in line with its service improvements which has resulted in financial, flexibility and time benefits.
Kadaster has been collating, registering and sharing information about properties in the Netherlands since 1832. With a wealth of information at its fingertips and new channels of communication such as the internet, Kadaster is continually increasing accessibility and availability of its data to the public and professional clients.
Traditionally staff had been used to trainer-led classroom sessions. However, Kadaster wanted more flexibility in its training approach, cutting classroom time for its busy staff whilst being able to scale the training to match their needs in the future. With service and organizational changes ahead and a workforce with a mean average age of 50, Kadaster realised that effective training with a blended learning approach would be critical to success.
Working with consultants, Bright Alley, Kadaster looked at 5 possible vendors but quickly decided on ForceTen™ LCMS to create the self-learning content for the programme themselves. Bright Alley created the first training templates and two elearning training courses for the new services. Selected Kadaster employees were then trained in less than 2 days to use ForceTen LCMS to create their own elearning courses and materials moving forward.
To date more than 1,200 staff have used the system to learn or retrain.
“Kadaster now has an effective and continuous learning system in place delivering more consistent and better quality training for our staff,” said Mariette Kroeze, Senior Advisor for Human Development, Kadaster. “We are now in a much better position to measure knowledge levels and offer clear learning objectives for staff. At the same time, less time and money is spent on the expenses of traveling and organising training, which can be carried out far more effectively and efficiently using ForceTen,LCMS.”
