Solution: E-learning
Samba First Experience
• 60 licenses obtained from Citi Bank
• 60 staffs were assigned to use it
• One year access for each licenses
• Each license give you access to 400 courses
Result of first experience
• Only 10 licenses had been used
• 2 of the two licenses were actually used
• 50 licenses were never used
Result of first experience (cont.)
• Accessing Citi Bank licenses were not friendly user.
• You have to long on to Samba web site using a user name and a password
• Then log on to Citi Bank using another user name and password
Samba of First Experience Cont..
• After you log on to Citi Bank web site and want to access a course an access key is sent to the training center for approval
• Then a message is sent to participants telling them that they can use any course they want
• When a staff has difficulty with any course, they contact training center for help
• Training center will contact Citibank and Citibank will contact the third party for solution
Result of first Experience cont..
• The whole process might take 2 weeks for solution
Lesson Learned
• No marketing or awareness was done for any of the staffs about e-learning
• Management support was not there• Technology team was not inform of the e-learning project
so they did not extend any support• Staffs have a first impressions that e-learning is a bad way
of learning
Lesson Learned
It was found that good number of the staffs had no PC to start with
Selection of staffs was not good Arabic e-learning courses were not there
Second Experience
• Management was involved and very supportive as they believed strongly in the benefit of e-learning
• Good selection of e-learning courses was done by the training center
• 20 committed staffs were assigned in the process of selecting courses
• Marketing of the e-learning took “ months all over Samba
Second Experience cont..
• Compulsory e-learning courses were assigned for staffs as a beginning
• 20 committed training coordinators was assigned to monitor the progress of the staffs
• Training center provides monthly report to all business departments about the progress of their staffs
Second Experience Cont..
• Other courses were added in company with the compulsory courses.
• Staffs liked the idea of e-learning courses
• They started taking e-learning courses without coming back to the training center.
Lesson Learned from second experience
• In order for e-learning courses to be effective, they have to be linked to the staff career development
• Diplomas have to be organized like accounting, finance, management etc…
• These diplomas have to be recognized by the organization and have to reflect on staffs promotion
Lesson Learned Cont..
• For in house e-learning courses two copies have to be provided
• Alpha copy, where you can do amendment to the course (usually one month is given from the vendor)
• Beta course will be the final version of the same course where all amendment has been made
Lesson learned cont..
• Arabic courses or the preferred language by the staffs musty be used
• Technology department has to be involved in every single stage of the e-learning project
• In the long run a staff who develop e-learning contents has to be hired
• State of the art learning management system (LMS) and learning content management system (LCMS) has to be implemented
Conclusion
• Management Support and interest in e-learning is the key to your success.
