BT Global Services has selected Edvantage's CourseBuilder content development tool and e-learning services for the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). This agreement is expected to significantly increase the ease and speed with which content developers and subject matter experts at the Defence Learning Portal can create high-quality e-learning experiences for up to 320,000 military and civilian personnel.
As part of the initial twelve month agreement, sixty-five content developers will use CourseBuilder to create rich, interactive courses and training materials and. Edvantage group will also provide a range of services including training, customisation, consulting, and support. Seamless interoperability between CourseBuilder and the Defence Learning Portal will enable courses and training materials to be distributed to learners around the world.
The Defence Learning Portal has content development tools already, but was looking to offer more variety and cost effectiveness in collaborating online, managing the development process and keeping training materials updated. "The procurement process attracted widespread interest from a broad range of highly respected vendors in the e-learning industry," says, Mark Peart, BT Global Services. "We chose Edvantage group because of their powerful authoring tool, their e-learning expertise and the value-added services. CourseBuilder impressed us, with its ease of use, extensive feature set, and web-based collaboration features - and it met rigorous requirements for security."
"We are very pleased that BT Global Services has selected Edvantage group and we look forward to serving their needs and those of MOD," says Andrew Greaves, Managing Director of Edvantage group in the UK. "This agreement confirms our competitive advantage and proves that our solution approach is appreciated by customers."
With this agreement, MOD joins national defence organisations in two other countries as customers to Edvantage group. New opportunities also arise for NATO-countries to develop and share training materials through CourseBuilder, levering significant advantage to the creation and delivery of learning and training solutions.
