KMx Enterprise Installations Exceeds Expectations

ROI (Return on Investment) in eLearning
While eLearning is in use at many leading corporations and learning management systems are helping track learning activities and leverage the Internet for delivery of learning content, the fact is that eLearning projects rarely produce a significant Return On Investment (ROI). The reasons for this is three-fold; 1) the cost of eLearning content development has historically been very high; 2) the lifecycle cost of maintaining the eLearning materials is rarely considered in the return estimate; and 3) the full cost of Learning Management System (LMS) technology can be significantly higher that the returns it can provide.
eLearning industry experts agree that if the technology costs could be decreased and if the dependence on high priced specialists to develop eLearning content could be reduced, organization that implement eLearning programs would achieve a significant ROI. Well you will be happy to know that KMx has arrived on the eLearning scene. With KMx, your training department personnel and subject matter experts can create and deliver high quality eLearning programs as quickly and easily as they could create a lesson plan, or a classroom presentation.

KMx Course Development QuickStart
KMSI developed the KMx Course Development QuickStart process to eliminate the risk and the prohibitive expense associate with building an e-learning program of instruction that does not meet program requirements. The KMx Course Development QuickStart approach consists of a series of iterations through a structured course design process, through which the e-learning developer can create increasingly detailed design specifications, resulting in courseware that is certain to meet the programs training requirements. The KMx Course Development QuickStart process provides a series of expert system technologies specifically designed to reduce the effort and improve the accuracy of the structured interview process. The first of these technologies provides a comprehensive listing of candidate behaviors associated with a particular subject matter. The behaviors form the basis for further development of performance-based objectives and serve as the primary cataloging schema in the KMx architecture.

Conversion of Existing Instructional Content to E-Learning
Many organizations are converting their existing instructor led and video-based training materials to self-directed e-learning modules as a way to reduce delivery cost. KMx provides automated routines to generate course outlines and link training objectives to instructional content, accelerating the conversion process. The XML foundation of the system enables the creation of numerous output formats. Leveraging your existing instructor led or video-based training materials and the capabilities of KMx, our content conversion specialists can quickly create the elements required to provide a compelling e-learning production.
