Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management (ELM
9.0) has been formally certified as compliant with the Aviation Industry CBT Committee's
(AICC) Web-Based Computer Managed Instruction Systems (CMI) Guideline (AGR-010).
This guideline allows AICC-conforming web-based learning content and courseware
to interoperate with AICC-conforming LMS systems. AICC Guidelines are used across
multiple industries in addition to aviation training.
ELM 9.0 was certified when an independent testing laboratory determined its
compliance with CMI guidelines. ELM 9.0 also complies with the latest proposed
specifications of the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), the other
major standard ensuring that enterprise software is able to interoperate effectively
and meaningfully with e-Learning content.
Oracle is an active AICC member and a leader in the learning industry's effort
to standardize communication between e-Learning content and enterprise software
applications.
"PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management 9.0 is a feature-rich release
that directly responds to customer requests for increased usability and automation,"
said Oracle Vice President HCM Strategy Gretchen Alarcon. "With this new
version, we are furthering the depth of our talent management offering and giving
customers enhanced tools to cultivate a skilled and certified workforce. This
certification of ELM 9.0 reinforces our dedication to creating a global standard
for learning technology."
William A. McDonald, AICC CMI Subcommittee chair and Learning Technology Architect
at Alteon, Boeing's aviation training company, commented: "ELM 9.0's AICC
certification is good news for any industry that has to deliver training online.
This clearly demonstrates Oracle's continued commitment to providing courseware
interoperability for its customers and partners."
The AICC is an international association of technology-based training professionals.
While its mission is to create open standards for computer-based training in
the aviation industry, AICC guidelines are being used by software vendors across
a variety of industries, and are paving the way for the global standardization
of learning technologies.
Standards such as those set by the AICC and SCORM allow courseware and learning
management systems to convey information and be integrated. They also give consumers
a level of confidence that the content and the learning management system will
work together to provide not just learning material, but data that can be used
to meet an organization's strategic goals.
