| Netsmart Technologies Introduces Netsmart University Netsmart Technologies, Inc. has announced the launch of Netsmart University, a comprehensive suite of training offerings and learning management system for health and human services organizations. From classroom training to on-line learning, Netsmart University is designed to be a complete training resource intended to help HHS organizations provide required employee training and education programs, and effectively track and manage staff development activities. With Netsmart University, the same technology that powers the on-line classroom can also be used to create customized learning centers tailored for individual organizations. Netsmart University is powered by ContinuedLearning, a premier learning management system that was acquired by Netsmart Technologies in 2005. The comprehensive learning management system is designed to effectively deliver courses through Netsmart University while providing a software application that also can be installed onsite. Key components of Netsmart University include: -- On-line Learning Catalogs: Netsmart University offers one of the industry's largest on-line course catalogs designed for the training needs of HHS organizations. On-line offerings include more than 60 OSHA, HIPAA and employment law courses, plus a variety of soft skills and technology-related offerings. Additional catalogs include courses totaling over 200 CEU credits and clinical skills courses for both human service and health personnel. Courses have been used as part of successful accreditation processes. -- Corporate Learning Centers: Netsmart University is designed to provide organizations of all sizes with the ability to create their own customized corporate learning center. Personalized corporate learning centers are intended to be a secure way for organizations and learners to create, manage, and track staff training, continued education, certification and development. A corporate learning center can be utilized in a hosted Application Service Provider (ASP) setting, or installed as software. -- Classroom Training: Netsmart University offers instructor-led classes for all Netsmart product lines at its specially-designed training facility in Dublin, Ohio. Each class is expected to be a mix of individuals from various organizations and with various levels of familiarity with Netsmart software. The informal tone of the classes should encourage individual participation, creating an atmosphere conducive to learning from one another, as well as from the instructor. Classes are expected to include extensive hands-on experience, which is designed to let learners apply and practice concepts as they learn them. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
