NetDimensions (London Stock Exchange, AIM: NETD), a global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, announces that it has signed a partnership agreement with Gilkron Limited, a provider of interactive online courseware created by leading experts and professionals -- for professionals.
Tim Gilkison, Director at Gilkron says: "We provide professionals with the relevant legal or other knowledge they need to maintain their competitive edge and meet their professional or other learning obligations through our Novacourses website."
Novacourses is powered by NetDimensions' Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP), a robust, secure and multi-lingual enterprise learning management system.
"EKP enabled us to create a powerful yet easy to use tool that we believe will benefit lawyers and other professionals everywhere," explains Gilkison.
Jay Shaw, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at NetDimensions notes: "We welcome Gilkron to our unique global partner network. As with the partnerships we have with many excellent organizations, our collaboration with Gilkron has yielded unexpected benefits."
Gilkron's innovations demonstrate the flexibility and power of EKP such as:
- Automatic enrollment of all new learners in an online course that teaches them how to use the system and
- A user interface that makes use of graphical help screens designed specifically with busy professionals in mind.
"Gilkron has shown us what else EKP can do with just a little added imagination," adds Shaw.
Enabling compliance to mandatory professional requirements
Leading in-house counsels, private legal practitioners and corporate decision makers use Novacourses to comply with their continuing professional development (CPD) or continuing legal education (CLE) obligations.
Gilkron Director Ron Yu explains: "All lawyers regularly assess current and future knowledge needs relevant to their responsibilities, then plan and implement ongoing programs of training and development to address these needs."
Lawyers in jurisdictions such as Hong Kong are exceptionally focused on CPD or CLE. Hong Kong enforces mandatory annual CPD or CLE requirements and any lawyer who fails to meet his or her CPD or CLE obligations cannot practice law in the territory.
"Novacourses is the platform where legal professionals will find unique courseware such as legal Mandarin, intellectual property valuation, ongoing obligations of AIM companies, comparisons of US and Chinese patent regimes, alternative dispute resolution in Asia, corporate rescue in China, protection of trade secrets in Asia and marketing for lawyers on a single site," notes Yu.
