Abstract | Corporate eLearning imposes profound requirements on learning software sys-tems: Learning has to be specially tailored for each employee to reflect their individual workspace responsibilities, respecting the continuous changes of business challenges. Also, other departments might have considerable interest in current status and effects of ongoing or finished learning processes, for instance human resources might need to keep track of the employee?s competences while strategic management might be interested in performance changes of business processes which?s assigned employees just received training. All these tasks require an eLearning platform to be highly flexible and integrated with other IT-infrastructure already existing in the company. This paper will showcase the Prolix Project which aims at implementing a system and a generic reference architecture standing that challenge for enabling such integrated and wide-spanning corporate eLearning solutions. |
