Health and safety programme wins Scottish
e-learning award

ScottishPower's health and safety programme has won the inaugural Scottish e-Learning Award from the e-Learning Alliance. The award was presented at the e-Learning Alliance Award Dinner held earlier this month.

The winning e-learning course was created using BrightWave's online content development tool, WavePool. The course is part of ScottishPower's induction programme and was initially aimed at new employees in the Customer Sales and Service business. Due to its success it is now in the process of being rolled-out to the rest of the business' 4,700 employees.

"I am extremely proud that the efforts of the ScottishPower e-learning team have been recognised," said Jackie Henry, e-learning manager for ScottishPower. "We have worked hard over the last three years to design and develop effective and interesting e-learning tailored for our company and this award clearly shows that our efforts have paid off."

Jackie Anderson, UK director of learning for ScottishPower, said: "The use of e-learning is growing and technology is forever changing. Here at ScottishPower we have a proven resource that aims to stay at the top. We have a fantastic authoring tool and an award winning team that works in partnership with our customers to meet their needs. This is a fantastic achievement."

BrightWave's WavePool is designed to help organisations to design, create, deploy and manage bespoke interactive e-learning content.

Charles Gould, managing director for BrightWave, said: "Putting the development power directly in the hands of the content expert helps clients to create professional solutions both quickly and cost-effectively. We are delighted that ScottishPower won the award amongst such high quality competition and we are confident that WavePool will continue to support their training needs both now and in the future."
