Review enterprise e-learning systems and solutions implementation


Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, review and implement advanced enterprise electronic learning (e-learning) solutions, as a member of a senior management team. It includes evaluating trends in e-learning in relation to organisational plans, monitoring e-learning resources, and ensuring any proposed solutions are tested, and evaluated, against organisational requirements.

This unit applies to leaders or managers working to ensure learning can enhance individual, team and organisational capabilities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
