Major Benefits of the Blackboard Learning Solution

• As a credible, high quality substitute for a classroom learning event• As a means of conducting required and critical training without the

expense of travel, lodging, or per diem• As a means of saving significant taxpayer funds• A system which can track and report training events back to the

agency LMS and collect data for the required annual training needs survey (i.e. Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004)

• The Blackboard platform complements existing LMS systems and is able to reach more employees with deeper and richer content through instructor-led courses

• Existing funding for classroom courses can be redirected for Blackboard delivery with significant cost savings

Solution: a continuous virtual training platform with synchronous and asynchronous capabilities

Simulates the classroom experience at reduced cost Interactive online tools foster collaboration, engagement, and

social learning Replaced classroom training events @ est cost of $80,000/course Additional savings realized in areas of decreased content

production time, decreased content distribution costs, and decreased time spent on course revisions

The “gap” is effectively filled

Challenge: Reduce or eliminate travel / reduce costs but keep interactivity and learning outcomes high

Challenge: Needed a cost effective training delivery strategy for residence based program and global

employees

• Training team’s responsibilities expanded from residence based Academy to worldwide employees – started with Pilot of Blackboard

• Beyond WBT - needed flexibility, collaboration, and interactivity to support learners in residence and at a distance

• All pre and post work on Blackboard – fosters continuity between in person training, increases access to information, increases adoption

– “Everyone shows up prepared”– Access to online instruction saves the time and expense that

would be required if face-to-face classroom instruction was the only option

– Central repository for content provides easy access to and management of training content
