Case study: bespoke continual professional development e-learning training programme
ACCA and Transition have worked in partnership for more than ten years. Learning is especially important to ACCA's members: it is a requirement of membership that members undertake relevant and appropriate continuing professional development (CPD) each year. Because ACCA is a global organisation, for some members attending courses can be problematic, expensive, or both.
E-learning was the obvious answer. In 1998 ACCA commissioned
Transition to design and develop its first online learning facility
ACCAdemy.com. ACCAdemy.com needed to be self-service (requiring
zero administration) and take payments online - but developed
without the need for ACCA to implement a new IT
infrastructure.
Transition was responsible for all elements of the project,
including developing both the e-commerce infrastructure and the
course materials (with support from ACCA's subject matter
experts).
Learners don't have to be ACCA members. The process is fast -
learners are using their courses within minutes.
ACCAdemy.com was one of the first e-commerce enabled e-learning portals in the world.
It led to extensive changes to the way in which ACCA offers
learning, enabling the organisation to reach all of its members -
wherever they are - providing a more flexible way to learn.
Since 2007 Transition has worked with ACCA to develop it's
Certifications for International Financial Reporting and Auditing.
These courses provide students with all of the technical knowledge
needed to pass a certification test delivered online, via
ACCAGlobal.com. The courses are currently available in English,
Spanish and Portuguese.
They are developed using the Lectora® e-learning authoring software. The delivery system uses a customised version of Transition's Web Commerce platform. This platform provides a multilingual interface for the purchasing process, as well as the certification tests, student surveys and blogs, all of which are an integral part of the online certificate courses. The system also provides ACCA's administrators and subject matter experts with extensive administration, reporting and analysis tools.
