 It's
no secret that DELL is amongst the most innovative companies
around. DELL's training portal (EMEA
Learning & Development Framework) designed by MMID
is a great example of how DELL embraces technology to
develop their people.
From the outset, DELL was eager to use leading-edge
design with an exciting multi-layer 3D navigation system
so it was no surprise when DELL looked at how they could
leverage a global mine of information -Wikipedia, the
on-line encyclopedia - to increase their employees'
knowledge. Earlier this month, MMID implemented an innovative
dual search engine system on the training portal.
Not only can the user search for any words contained
in the site (as you would expect a traditional search
engine would do), but now he/she can get Wikipedia search
results & definitions all within the same page.
For instance, if a user want's to know how to deal with
stressful situations, typing "stress" brings
back all courses relating to Stress Management available
to him/her as well as a list of stress-related topics
contained within Wikipedia. Moving the mouse over a
topic displays a short outline of what is contained
in the Wikipedia entry. Who said the knowledge economy
was only a buzz word?

CPD
College, a MMID subsidiary, has recently received
FETAC approval As the national awarding body
for further education and training in Ireland, the Further
Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) gives
people the opportunity to gain recognition for learning
in education or training centres, in the work place
and in the community. Being a FETAC registered provider
means that CPD College is now in a position to offer
an extensive range of accredited courses which are widely
recognised and respected in the workplace.
Following the highly successful Building
Energy Rating (BER) Assessor course, MMID is in
the process of developing a series
of summer courses aimed at Primary Teachers which
will be made available through CPD College. CPD College's
aim is to bring Continuous Professional Development
(CPD) courses to professionals in a convenient manner.
The on-line format of the courses is ideal for
people who can't travel or just can't take the time
off. Courses for more professions will be developed
over the course of this year.
