Austrade develops new Learning Management System

By Clarice Africa | 11 May 2011

Austrade, Australia’s Trade Development Agency will be moving 130 of its online courses to a new Learning Management System (LMS) that incorporates comprehensive learning and performance and career management functionality with social collaboration features.

Given that Austrade has a large database of training and learning materials, the LMS will be hosted in the Cloud. According to Austrade, a key requirement of the new Cloud e-learning system is the ability to migrate historical data from the “legacy LMS and performance management” system.

The training history consists of about 20,000 records which need to be mapped and imported dynamically so they appear in the user’s training history.

Meanwhile, for performance history some 5000 records need to be exported from the legacy system as a PDF and imported as an attached file against user’s profile.

“The system must be able to interface with Austrade’s Aurion HRIS system by providing an inbound data feed that creates user accounts by importing employee and organisational structure information from Aurion,”a representative from Austrade said in an official statement.
