ROCHESTER, NY – April 29, 2010: Element K, a leader in innovative learning solutions, won a coveted Brandon Hall® silver Award for Technology Excellence in the category: Best Advance in Learning Management Technology for Blended or Informal Learning. The win was announced on Thursday, April 29, and winners are listed at www.brandon-hall.com.
Entries in each category were judged on functionality, usability, and overall support of blended learning. The Element K entry, KnowledgeHub: Blended and Informal Learning Tools, highlighted the comprehensive set of learning program management tools offered by the company’s enterprise LMS, KnowledgeHub. KnowledgeHub provides a single repository for managing, delivering, discussing and tracking both formal and informal learning. The platform enables organizations to provide learning programs that include online courses, instructor led training (classroom and virtual classroom), online books and references. In addition, KnowledgeHub's collaboration tools, which include threaded discussion forums, wikis, and blogs, provide interactive communities that can extend the learning experience past the classroom or online course. All of these can be grouped into learning plans and made easily accessible to learners.
“We’re pleased to have KnowledgeHub recognized as a leading Learning Management System. KnowledgeHub’s ability to deliver and manage online learning, classroom and virtual classroom training, and informal learning provides enormous opportunities for organizations to engage their learners outside of the traditional training environment,” said Sue Rodeman, Vice President, Platform Product Management and Marketing at Element K.
