eLearning: An efficient and cost-effective solution

Maintaining rail equipment requires talented people, rigorous processes, and advanced technology. The aging workforce and increasingly complex vehicle technology escalates the demand for training in the rail industry. How do you build and maintain your workforce talent? eLearning is an efficient and cost-effective solution.

Bombardier's eLearning system is a turn-key computer based training solution that includes the software, instructional design, and custom created course content to fulfill the needs of the client organization. Course content is determined through an evaluation by Bombardier's Technology Solutions group to identify where knowledge improvement would significantly and measurably benefit the client's transit business.

The resulting courses are founded on best practices of adult education theory to improve information retention and provide immediate and measurable benefit to the transit operation. Through a simple computer interface, your workforce is actively engaged in the curriculum through dynamic content of video, animation, and 3D renderings. This is light-years beyond PowerPoint - students aren't just sitting back and watching, they are actively participating in the lessons. Countless academic studies prove that actively engaging learners dramatically improves information retention and mastery of new skills.

Behind the scenes, the Learning Management System (LMS) that supports the eLearning courses automatically tracks training records (who attended what and when, how they performed), and improves regulatory compliance for audits. Student metrics reside in a centralized, secure database, streamlining compliance and simplifying record keeping management. The quantifiable metrics generated by the eLearning platform enables analysis of training effectiveness and measurement of student progress. Imagine how this could simplify the process of administering continuous instruction to a population of workers, such as certification, re-certification, and safety training!

Implementing Bombardier's eLearning solution is easy. The Technology Solutions team provides the software, instructional design, and all content development for the eLearning courses. The client provides the network access, and milestone approvals - Bombardier does the rest.

As one of the world's largest manufacturers of rolling stock, Bombardier thoroughly understands the world of transit. The eLearning solution delivers results that are specifically critical to success in the transit business. Download the PDF for more information: Proven eLearning solutions that deliver ROI.
