Persistence does pay off. For several years, there have been conversations among professionals across campus on how to provide more centralized professional development and compliance training for employees.
Offices that provide professional development and training across campus are collectively initiating a new learning management system, to be called My Learning at Colorado State.
Training and Organizational Development will be the first department to use the new system and will launch the system with registration for their summer training options on April 23 through mylearning.colostate.edu.
Additional campus department will begin to use My Learning fall of 2018.
“The ultimate goal is to have all of the professional development and compliance training available through My Learning by the end of 2018,” said Marsha Benedetti, associate director of Training and Organizational Development.
“The Bridge platform will provide technology that will allow the campus to expand our e-learning capabilities and reach some of our off-campus employees in new ways; it will be a one stop location to access information about professional development opportunities, no matter what department is offering the training. My Learning will give employees and their supervisors a more complete picture of the professional development path.”
Learning management system a key priority
The employee councils identified a learning management system as a key priority in the FY17 budget cycle and both the Division of Operations and the Provost Office supported the funding going forward. The learning management system is a critical piece of infrastructure to assist with the tracking and reporting for CSU’s Supervisor Development Program.
As the system grows, My Learning will provide supervisors access to information about their employee’s development and help foster a culture of continuous employee development by providing information at their fingertips, Benedetti said.
My Learning is powered by Bridge, from Instructure. Instructure is also the company that provides Canvas, the student online learning management system.
