Step Energy Story:
One company that we would like to highlight is Step Energy Services, an oil and gas company that spans across Western Canada.
It has been an incredible response from our professionals, exec team and management. Managers are loving the reporting and ability to check out their teams training records.
We are developing more engaging online courses to have on our system called Micro Learning, quick little 2-3 minute online courses that relate to safety hazards and all types of topics..
Our aim is not to teach you to do each one of these business practices but rather to help you understand how it is possible and what it may look like in your organization to help you reach your business objectives.
- Clients who live in remote areas can now access programming at times that are convenient. Given the busy lives of families this has been a great feature.
In today’s business world, products and services are being updated, modified or changed at an ever increasing rate so it is important to understand that product knowledge training is not a one-time event. Rather, product knowledge is an ongoing education initiative that changes as new clients emerge, new features develop or new knowledge is discovered. While this may seem like an obvious organizational initiative, the reality is that few organizations execute well on this. In order to do so it is important to provide employees with the right resources and learning opportunities via training and knowledge communities. Moodle has many tools to help you do this. Jim will now walk you through what this looks like in Moodle.

These people have a shared passion, or concern about a certain topic, and work collectively to reach their goals. There are four types of communities of practice, each one defined by their own strategic devices.

Business Problem:
Applicants would submit handwritten application forms from the firm’s website
Information was then manually collected and distributed to key stakeholders for review and interview selection
Process was cumbersome and time consuming requiring something more efficient
Why Moodle?
A&L could fill out personal details in the questionnaire module and then be directed the Moodle quiz module to test key competencies
This process was streamlined and reporting allowed them to assess applications by downloading data from Moodle and an application summary could be automatically send out to key stakeholders
Easy to use
Best option with regards to cost vs. benefit
Applicants had more control over the process being able to login in and out, completing their application form at different times until they were ready to submit

4. So you’ve got lots of ways to define when done means done for a course and the activities within a course. Make sure you:
do all activities, some things, passing grades, manual review? Work with the course designers to discuss what’s right for this course
Set up the activity and course completion rules activities based on your design decisions
Communicate them - this is the most important step. Make sure the course instructions let learners know clearly what defines as completed. They need to know the rules too!

Track upcoming expirations and progress to certification or renewals
