E-Training
The e-Training initiative, now referred to as the Human Resources Line of Business/ Human Resources Development (HR LOB/HRD) Program, is transforming learning by creating a premier e-Learning environment to support the development of the Federal workforce and to advance the accomplishment of agency missions through simplified and one-stop access to high quality e-Learning products, tools, and services.
The USALearning.gov site is a Governmentwide resource for the Federal workforce and appropriate non-Federal workers to access formal and informal learning opportunities that span e-Learning systems, content, and/or performance support tools available in the Federal Government.
To access the e-Learning website go to: http://www.USALearning.gov
Background
The HR LOB Human Resources Development (HRD) focus is on unifying, simplifying, and increasing access to high quality e-Learning products and services, among other larger Governmentwide learning and development subjects. This approach benefits the government and the Federal workforce by:
- Reducing the redundancies and achieving economies of scale in the purchase of learning technology infrastructure (e.g., Learning Management Systems (LMS), Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) and/or other Information Technology (IT) hardware/software for Human Capital Performance Support (HCPS) tools), and the consolidation and/or sharing of hardware/software;
- Reducing redundancies and achieving economies of scale in the purchase and/or development of e-Learning courses and content (e.g., commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or custom-developed content to meet specific agency needs);
- Leveraging components of existing learning systems (e.g., LMS, LCMS, IT hardware, or HCPS tools) where clear value propositions exist;
- Offering user-friendly, one-stop access to a robust and high-quality learning environment;
- Encouraging e-Learning investments as part of a strategic, systematic, and continuous development of Federal Government human capital; and
- Fostering communication between Federal Human Resources Development Practitioners Governmentwide to identify, prioritize and develop solutions to issues of interest within the community, and to share best practices and resources where synergies are evident.
