Many large scale enterprises require continuous training of their employees in several disciplines. Similarly, educational institutions provide online courses to students geographically dispersed around the globe. Organizations require consistent corporate communication of direction, philosophy and policies all over the world, no matter where the employee works.

The following discusses a sample application scenario of UltraLearn to organizations with the following challenges:


Business Challenges

	Single source for Trainees to access Training, knowledge base, evaluations, manage credit hours and receive certifications or licenses
	Central administration of Training profiles
	Corporate risk management associated with Training, tracking and certification

Technical Challenges

	Delivering hi-bandwidth content over a low-bandwidth infrastructure
	Disperse knowledge in a timely and secured fashion

The above challenges are typical of organizations: 

	with multiple dispersed facilities domestically or globally
	with employees, students and professionals who must be trained, certified, licensed or informed to perform their work
	where timely knowledge sharing in a secured fashion is critical to its mission
	with distance Training and learning needs
	regularly facing increasing bandwidth demands

Typical Cost of Training

	Typically, organizations set aside $3K-$4K per employee per year for Training
	In a 5K-employee organization, annual Training expenses ~$17.5M
	On average, it costs approximately $1000 per Trainee to attend Environmental Health and Safety Training, Occupational Health and Safety Training or Continuing Education and Learning. To send 100 employees to an off-site Training would cost ~$100,000
	Not only traditional Training is expensive, but it’s also difficult to track course completion

Our Proposal

Provide enterprises a single source to...
	store, manage and deliver digital content
	design and Manage Training profiles
	train and evaluate Trainees
	track and monitor Training completions
	award Credits, Certifications or Licenses
	effectively communicate time-critical information to the community using the power of multimedia

FEATURES

Multiple Live Channels

Live Broadcast uses CISCO’s proprietary multicast technology to deliver real-time live stream of broadcast right to the end user’s desktop on multiple channels.

Content Libraries for Pre-recorded content

Pre-recorded text/audio/video contents are digitized and uploaded to various content libraries each having a separate scope of target viewer groups.

Multi-level Content Management

Target viewer groups for a particular content (either live or pre-recorded) can be defined so that only the intended viewers have access to the content.

Web based Content Uploading and management

Target viewer groups for a particular content (either live or pre-recorded) can be defined so that only the intended viewers have access to the content.

Polls/Surveys/Quiz

Polls and surveys can be used to gather valuable feedback from the Trainees regarding a particular course or program. Quizzes are used to evaluate the knowledge gained by the Trainees, earn credits and certification. Learning mode quizzes allow faster learning by providing you correct answer when Trainee makes a mistake, optionally a learning mode quiz can also explain the reason of an incorrect answer.

User Tracking & Training Profiles

Complete user activity is tracked and their training profiles are maintained automatically by the system.

End to End Reporting Profiles

TLS® real-time user tracking is coupled with highly flexible drill-down reporting giving complete tracking of Trainee activity. During this process useful data is collected to help improve TLS® system implementation and improve Trainee experience.

Directory Services Integration

Almost all large scale enterprises use some directory service e.g Windows Active Directory, Novell NDS and LDAP etc. to maintain their user accounts and Trainee Profiles. TLS® technology leverages this information by integrating itself into the directory service used within the organization.

Complete Web based Network Configuration

All network devices and applications can be configured via web based interface.
