Kineo E-learning Helps Tesco Deliver with Totara LMS
Kineo E-Learning has published a new case study showing how Tesco is delivering learning with Totara LMS. The new learning platform was implemented this summer and is being rolled out in phases to more than 400,000 staff.
Tesco had previously worked with Kineo to deploy a Moodle based LMS solution and were very interested when Totara LMS, a custom distribution of Moodle designed specifically for corporate enterprises was released.
Tesco already had a shopping list of requirements that were not met by Moodle and were pleased to see most of these included in Totara's extended functionality. This included:
- Programme management
- Management of mandatory learning
- Individual learning plans
- Online course booking and waitlisting
- Team management
- Course feedback
- Sophisticated reporting
Tesco wanted more than just great functionality. Jane Williams from Tesco highlighted a key priority was "to develop a new learning portal that would deliver a world class user experience."
Totara LMS has now been rolled out to Directors across all countries and to retailing services, and there is an ongoing roll out across the business over the next 12 months.
In addition to reducing costs significantly, over £1m per annum, Totara has delivered on the promise of ease of use, sophisticated programme management and an engaging learner experience.
The feedback from the learners has been positive at all levels. Examples include:
"This is a great tool… really supporting me as a manager."
"At last a system that delivers what it promises."
Sven Laux, Kineo's Technical Director commented: "We are really pleased to help a fantastic brand like Tesco to realise its vision. It's also been an opportunity to demonstrate just how well an Open Source LMS such as Totara can work at scale in a corporate environment."
The launch of Totara LMS was one of the most exciting developments in the LMS sector in 2011. Other clients who have already chosen Totara as their learning platform include:
