elearning Architecture

• Key Points
• All elearning activity takes place on elearning
  server
• Only content on an internet facing server is
  accessible remotely
• Architecture safeguards employee data in core ESR
  application

N3 Environment (at work access)
ESR Core Application
ESR Elearning functionality
Interface
elearning users accessing at work
Remote access elearning users

New ESR URPs

• Learner access to elearning content through the
  NLMS is made available to staff through the
  Employee Self Service functionality on ESR
• Two new Employee Self Service User Responsibility
  Profiles (URPs) will be added to ESR as part of
  NLMS to assist in implementation
• Elearning URP (A)
• Training URP (B)
• These are in addition to the existing full
  Employee Self Service URP (C)

5
Elearning URP (A)

• The narrowest range of functionality
• Learner can use to self enrol on or play an
  elearning course
• Accessible remotely
• Only URP where a learner can play a course
• Does not require full OLM deployment
• All learners will have this URP to play content
• Allows rapid deployment of elearning access
  (national or local) to staff

6
Training Full Employee Self Service URPs

• Training URP (B)
• A cut down version of full employee self service,
  providing access to just the learning area
• Learners can manage all learning events
  (including classroom based courses etc)
• Not accessible remotely
• Supports fully deployed OLM module

• Full Employee Self Service URP (C)
• This is the existing Employee Self Service URP
  which may or may not be deployed
• Full access to all employee self service
  functionality
• Not accessible remotely
• Supports fully deployed OLM module

Elearning users will be allocated either URP A
alone, or in conjunction with URP B or URP C
