History of e-learning

E-Learning

In 2002, with funds from an Integrated Advanced Information Systems (IAIMS) Planning Grant from the National Library of Medicine, the Health Sciences Library purchased a learning management system, NetLearning. LUHS personnel desired a WINWINI {What I Need, When I Need It} approach to information communication and access.

In just 5 short years, e-learning @LUHS has become an integral part of staff training and education at Loyola. Its growth is remarkable and reflective of Loyola’s commitment to both quality patient care and staff development.

A few historical highlights include:

2002- IAIMS Knowledge-Based Resources Committee selects NetLearning for learning management system.

2003 – 6 departments begin using e-learning (Library, HR, Safety, Nursing Ed, Safety, Epic

2004 –Annual Safety Mandatories modules piloted; 2,434 employees complete online EpicWeb tests.

2005 – Annual Safety Mandatories – Medical Center wide.

2006 – e-learning links created for Annual Performance Appraisals

2007 - Over 7,000 employees complete annual Mandatories; Telephone Customer Service module released; clinical departments begin using Resident Education modules; Epic training more than doubles with over 11,000 completions

New in 2008:

The 2008 Annual Mandatories are now available in e-learning for completion by staff. Also this year, e-learning transcript information is being uploaded to the Annual Performance Review. You and your supervisor will be able to see at a glance what e-learning education, including your annual competencies have been completed.
