font-family:Arial'>iLearnOR is a dynamic online learning and knowledge
management system that integrates general learning management functions (course
catalog, registration, enrollments, transcripts and administration) as well as
advanced tools such as individual development plans, skill assessments and
performance evaluations. iLearnOR is currently being used by 24 state agencies
for a variety of training and performance needs – including access to
skill-based eLearning modules. There are currently 54,000 user accounts, 15,000
active users and over 1,700 online and classroom-based courses in the system.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>iLincOR is a virtual classroom created in a virtual space
that replicates an in-classroom environment. Students and instructors
participate remotely using personal computers. iLearnOR agencies currently have
<b><u><span style='font-weight:bold'>free</span></u></b> access to use iLincOR
as a tool to deliver training – <i><span style='font-style:italic'>dramatically
reducing training costs, including travel.</span></i> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Many of our participating agencies are also leveraging
iLearnOR to deliver and manage learning initiatives for their statewide public
partners.</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For example, the State Fire Marshal has successfully
implemented fire programs to thousands of fire district personnel, providing
them with a cost effective approach to training, certification and licensure
requirements. We are also seeing a growing use with agencies that provide
on-line learning for students. Even more exciting are the performance
management tools – allowing agencies to manage individual development
plans based on job title as well as measure progress toward job related
competencies and skills using the iLearnOR skill assessment tool. PERS is currently
piloting these tools for agency-specific IT related positions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
