Kodak pushes out e-Skills
Kodak pushes out e-Skills
Film and digital imaging giant Eastman Kodak is piloting a global e-learning initiative for all of its 85,000 employees. The programme aims to deliver a range of both soft and hard skills, such as quality assurance, personal effectiveness and leadership, and IT training. The material builds on existing CD-based electronic training and is based on Click2Learn, a desktop authoring tool that will allow development, customisation and re-purposing of the existing course material across its operating regions – the Americas, Asia, Japan and EMEA. The software, Toolbook, will help to turn both online and existing instructor-based courses into Web-ready formats. The first phase of the system roll-out – which was ready at the end of last year – was the launch of a portal for Kodak staff, provided by Thinq's Training Server. The rest of the system is expected to be up and running by the middle of this year.
