eLearning Growth
Stunning Growth – first H.E., now Corp.
But mari9me industry behind in many ways: Tradi9onal? Difficult context Wide variety of skills & equip
What is eLearning? eLearning 101 -‐ Two main components:
1. Content (courses & assessments) 2. Management (LMS)
What is an LMS? LMS: central hub for delivery & mgmt. of training & assessment LMS is 24x7, career-‐long, central training resource Hub for all training ac9vi9es (learning, assessment,
mentorship, skill enhance., career prog., admin., etc)
... for trainees, trainers, and admin! ...
LMS is Central Hub: For Trainees: For courses, tests, learning plans, support
LMS is Central Hub: For Trainers & Supervisors: To assess, guide & support trainees
LMS is Central Hub For Admin: Metrics
Content usage Performance trends: org. and individual
Iden9fy issues before perf. affected, or accident!
Kaizen!
… But – Does it work?...
Can Significantly Improve Outcomes Main Strength: improves outcome / experience My research @ UBC: Randomized & controlled
◦ Web-‐based students equal to lecture-‐based ◦ Combined students significantly outperformed
2010 DOE Meta-‐Analysis: ◦ “Students in online condi.ons performed modestly be5er, on average, than those learning the same material through tradi.onal face-‐to-‐face instruc.on”
◦ “Instruc.on combining online and face-‐to-‐face elements had a larger advantage rela.ve to purely face-‐to-‐face instruc.on than did purely online instruc.on”
… but maybe the mariKme industry is different? …
BC Ferries Blended Learning
Problem: wanted more standardized & objec9ve job & familiariza9on training and assessment
Moved to three-‐phase blended learning approach:
BC Ferries Blended Learning BC Ferries deployed blended learning as part of SailSafe ini9a9ve: Injuries: 360 -‐>150 Serious injuries: 100 -‐> 40 Days lost: 12,000 -‐> 7,500 Insur. claims: $3.5M -‐> $0.8M On-‐9me ferry performance
increased from 85% to 92%

So ... eLearning is here. We need to understand it in order to make informed decisions: Understand the basics of eLearning Understand the LMS – primary tool Understand that it DOES work in general Most importantly:
◦ Understand it DOES work in our industry!
Above all: ask ques9ons, learn & experiment!
