Abstract

Integrated learning management is provided for a computer assisted learning system having an instructor led training component (ILT) and a computer based training (CBT) component. The CBT component has a plurality of training materials and a content management service (CMS) that (i) controls an interface between the ILT component and the CBT component. An integrated learning management system and method enforces a plurality of standards upon the ILT component and the CBT component, each said standard governing at least one of quality, uniformity and branding.

Claims

1. A computer assisted learning management system, said system comprising:

an instructor led training component (ILT);

a computer based training (CBT) component, said CBT component comprising a plurality of training materials; and

a content management service (CMS) that (i) controls an interface between the ILT component and the CBT component;

wherein

the learning management system enforces a plurality of standards upon the ILT component and the CBT component, each said standard governing at least one of quality, uniformity and branding.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the CBT and ILT are remote from the CMS.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the CMS manages data related to training activities of at least one student.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the CMS communicates said data to at least one of the LMS and the ILT component.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein a single CMS is configured to be operable with a plurality of CBT and ILT components

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the CMS manages a resource, said resource comprising at least one of a classroom, an instructor, and a courseware manual inventory.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the CMS displays to an instructor a work station assigned to a student.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the CMS tracks progress of a student.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the CMS tracks available student credits.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the CMS comprises at least one computer platform communicatively coupled, over a network, to at least one work station located at a learning center, said learning center comprising the ILT.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the CMS comprises at least one computer platform communicatively coupled, over a network, to at least one work station located at a learning center, said learning center comprising the ILT.

11. A method of managing computer assisted learning, said method comprising:

controlling an interface between an instructor led training (ILT) component of a computer assisted learning system and a computer based training (CBT) component of said system, said CBT component comprising a plurality of training materials; and

enforcing a plurality of standards upon the ILT component and the CBT component each said standard governing at least one of quality, uniformity and branding.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein at least one of the CBT and ILT are remote from the CMS.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the CMS manages data related to training activities of at least one student.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the CMS communicates said data to at least one of the LMS and the ILT component.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein a single CMS is configured to be operable with a plurality of CBT and ILT components

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the CMS manages a resource, said resource comprising at least one of a classroom, an instructor, and a courseware manual inventory.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the CMS displays to an instructor a work station assigned to a student.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the CMS tracks progress of a student.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the CMS tracks available student credits.
