This instructor-led training provides a high-level overview of configuration, set-up and business process aspects of PeopleSoft ELM 9.2 Application.
In particular, it demonstrates how an administrator would set up and maintain catalog information, perform learner related tasks and track enrollment information, how a learner would search, enroll and attend learning, and how a manager would perform team related learning tasks.

Overview of PeopleSoft ELM
Full Name is Enterprise Learning Management. It’s a standalone PeopleSoft application, not part of PeopleSoft HCM.
Similar to PeopleSoft HCM and Financials applications, ELM is a pure internet-based solution that enables enterprises to deliver courses and content to learners—whether they are customers, partners, suppliers, or employees—from a variety of sources. With ELM, companies can manage a blended learning environment, gain visibility and insight into company learning needs, and analyze learning effectiveness.
ELM not only allows administrators/managers to define and track learning, but it also allows learners to conduct learning and launch contents or webcasts.
ELM is designed for use with other PeopleSoft Enterprise applications using pre-certified integration with PeopleSoft HCM and Financials. Integration with non-Enterprise financial and human resources products and training delivery tools/vendors is also possible, due to open integration technology.

ELM Implementation Best Practice
Follow the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) process: requirement gathering, fit-gap analysis, customization identification, design, build, testing, training, go-live, production support and maintenance. Some PMs like Agile, but I saw failures from it even for good PMs. If Agile is used for this project, better clearly understand what it means (Running cycles; may never end if not managed well).
A PM with a granular project plan, good change management skill and good client relationship.
Determine the number of customizations as early as possible, hire the right people to do the implementation.
Determine the scope of the implementation in an early stage: whether or not there is a conversion effort. Examples are, users, catalogs, learning history, online contents, vendor integration. Under what criteria to convert: active or inactive, up to which year, etc. Watch out for your own legacy data. They may surprise you and cause prolonged implementation efforts during conversion.
During the implementation, be ready to adjust some business processes to collaborate with customizations, project scope, timeline and budget.

ELM Implementation Best Practice
In order to make the right decisions, have client users and IT play with the system as early, and as much, as possible.
Determine the number of learning environments early but be cautious. Check with all stakeholders before making decisions. One learning environment will make implementation easy but the data security may not be optimal to the organization.
Determine the strategy of content development: standards and tools: AICC, SCORM 12, SCORM 2004; Articulate, etc. They are compliant with ELM.
Keep an eye on released PUMs during the project. If there are few customizations, low risk to apply them during the project.

ELM Implementation Case Study
Case study and lessons learned from previous projects:
Client 1: Public sector, state/city funded university system: vanilla implementation of ELM 9.0. Went live in 6 months with 1 learning environment. User conversion from PS HCM was delivered by PeopleSoft, catalog creation was in scope, no learning history conversion; less than 3 pieces of customizations. Major efforts were the training of 20+ colleges and coming up with support/operating model.
Client 2: Private sector, regional banking system:
Phase 1: Vanilla implementation of ELM 9.2 by HR Dept. Went live in 6 months. User conversion was delivered by PeopleSoft. Catalog and learning history conversion from legacy system were in scope. 50 trackers including 30 customization requests were queued up for after go-live. Due to underestimated conversion efforts and inadequate testing, lots of conversion data issues were discovered after go-live, took 12+ months to clean up. Contents were uploaded freshly after go-live. One learning environment.
Phase 2: Learning Rollout initiated by Compliance Dept took a year to go live. It included 20 pieces of customizations, a new user group (contractors), and small amount of catalog conversion. One more learning environment was added.

ELM Implementation Case Study
Client 3: Private sector, global manufacturer:
One legacy system splitting into 2 ELM systems by user groups. User conversion from 6+ data sources to ELM, can’t use PeopleSoft delivered user integration from HCM to ELM; huge amount of catalog and learning history conversion; huge amount of contents to convert and migrate for both ELM instances.
Initially, IT would like to go pure vanilla and targeted to complete the project in 10 months. However, learning team stakeholders would like to heavily customize ELM to make it as close to the legacy system as possible. E.g., they don’t like learner ID, would like to replace it in each page with employee ID. Lots of back and forth discussion occurred between the 2 teams but no conclusions. For this reason, ELM implementation team didn’t have a clear direction what to do.
Eventually, learning team won the battle over IT, and the project was restarted to fully customization mode after 10 months. The go-live is now targeted 22 months after the original start date. The PM methodology had to change from SDLC to Agile which caused more problems even for this timeline.

Data Access: Learning Environment (LE):
Designed for Catalog Data Security from Administrator point of view. However, doesn’t restrict learner and LG data security.
Example of multiple learning environments: HR and Compliance departments can have their own LEs and they can’t see the catalogs for each other. If the administrators for both depts are allowed to see and update each other’s catalog and contents, then 1 learning environment is good enough. However, I doubt police dept would like administrators of other depts to have access to their catalog/contents.
One person can be set up as the administrator for any number of LEs. In this case, this person needs to be aware what is the current LE he/she is in. Switch the current working LE to another one if need to work in a different learning environment.

Data Access:
Learner Group (LG):
Designed for Catalog Data Security from Learner point of view.
If a learner is in the same LG as a course, class or program, the learner can search and find them from Find Learning page, and determine whether to enroll or not. In other words, available for the learner to enroll but won’t be enrolled automatically.
The courses/classes/programs do need to be in certain status – Active – in order to get searchable in Find Learning page.

Data Access: Learning Environment is an attribute tied to:
Everybody in ELM - Administrator, Instructor, Manager, Learner - when they are in ELM as an learner
Administrators and Instructors have additional LE values when they are in ELM as an administrator or instructor.
Learner Groups
Course
Class
Programs
Resources such as Facilities
Organizations such as customers, departments and vendors.

Navigate around the system with Assigned User ID and Password. URL: http://ec2-52-8-1-83.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/psp/ELM92/?cmd=login
Exercise 1: Use iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or a tablet to sign in, try out Fluid User Interface, play with the tabs. – Use 5 minutes.
Exercise 2: Back to a PC which is already set up for Classic Home upon sign-on, make yourself familiar with the navigations. I will guide you through the menus and sub-menus. The provided super user ids have the same page security setup so you would see the same navigations as other people in the training. However, in reality, very few people will be super admin. Typically, the super admins are someone in IT or training team core members. – Use 10 minutes.
