e-Learning in Action – Glenmorangie Shouts e-Learning

Posted by mykringo on 13th September 2007

I recently stumbled upon a fantastic case study on e-learning involving a Scottish company, Glenmorangie, who produce whisky. The case study - Glenmorangie takes shot at e-learning - revealed that the company wanted to improve the employees’ IT and business skills but due to staff being spread over a number of remote distilleries they decided to make use of the companies intranet and introduce e-learning.

The other problem was that the company had a large number of shift workers so with a show of progressive thinking the company decuded to have their learning centre open 24 hours a day.

The company also received government support as part of its learndirect flexible learning initiative. The employees were very enthisatic in their response and the company has seen high usage of the courses.

Due to this response and government support the company has extended the learning centre usage to workers’ families and friends and will soon be opening up to local organisations and schools.

A wonderful story.
