NetDimensions Presents Technology for Delivering Assessments to the Aviation Industry at UK Symposium
 
Hong Kong, November 9, 2009 - NetDimensions (London Stock Exchange, AIM: NETD), a global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, presented the Enterprise Assessment Platform (EAP) as the technology for delivering assessments in the aviation industry on November 12 at the e-Assessment in Practice Symposium at the Defense Academy of the United Kingdom.
 
Liam Butler, EMEA Director at NetDimensions says, “Aviation is one of the most highly regulated industries in the world. Recurrent training assessment for in-flight operations and related high-stakes regulatory testing, as well as operations oriented towards licensing, certification or compliance are just a few examples of the applications for EAP.”
 
Liam discussed how EAP enables airlines and flight training organizations around the world to quickly and efficiently assess individual competencies.
 
“EAP is utilized by a large number of airlines for a variety of airline specific training needs including Crew Resource Management (CRM), initial and recurrent training, conversion training, type rating and high-stakes training,” explains Liam.
 
A Robust Assessment Engine for Highly Regulated Industries EAP is a robust, sophisticated exam authoring and delivery environment designed to meet the demanding requirements of highly regulated industries. This assessment engine enables exams to be treated and delivered as learning objects, thus extending the capability of ordinary exam authoring to include the flexibility and power that is normally only supported in a learning management system.
 
“EAP offers an integrated platform through which organizations can create, organize and manage questions for assessments securely, as well as deliver and report on these assessments for audit purposes,” notes Liam.

Hong Kong, November 6, 2009 - NetDimensions (London Stock Exchange, AIM: NETD), a global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, will present two must-attend sessions at Learning 2009 in Orlando, Florida next week.

 

A number of NetDimensions’ clients will share their unique, out-of-the-box ways of using a learning management system (LMS) on Monday, November 9th at 1:30pm in Room 314.

 

Eric Miller, Account Manager at NetDimensions says, “This is going to be an eye-opening and interesting experience for the audience. Our clients have come up with truly creative ways of using an LMS that even vendors like us never thought possible.”

 

On Tuesday, NetDimensions’ Managing Director and CEO Jay Shaw will talk about how organizations can achieve regulatory compliance with fewer resources given the current global economy in Room 613 at 11:15am.

“The potential consequences of noncompliance -- millions of dollars in fines, business unit closures, increased government scrutiny, contract cancellations, or even the loss of market or industry reputation -- are simply unacceptable to many organisations,” explains Jay.

 

“Any organization, especially small to medium-sized enterprises, can achieve compliance, even with limited resources, by establishing an effective compliance system through resources they already possess or can easily acquire and implement.”
