Key Features of EKP

The key features of EKP are:  

• Participant Centricity (See below)

• Flexibility (see below)

• Scalability: EKP is designed from the ground up to handle large volumes of data while maintaining high levels of system performance.

• Flexibility: The system's modular structure means EKP can be quickly customized to meet specific processing needs.

• Openness: Unlike other systems, EKP uses a 100% Java architecture and runs on NT, UNIX and Linux platforms. It interfaces - with legacy systems and with customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning and human resources systems.

• International Support:  Browser-based and database-driven, EKP allows courses and tests to be delivered in any language.

Participant Centricity:

EKP is designed specifically to maximize productivity. Access to functions, linkages or data can be grouped – or easily regrouped to maximize student convenience and efficiency.

The Knowledge Center, for example, typifies this focus on student efficiency. A convenient grouping of linkages to information, functions, communications and discussion group, the Knowledge Center provides an online center from which a student can:

• Launch the learning module

• Review learning module evaluations

• Access relevant resources, news items, tests

• Evaluate the learning module

• Participate in related chat rooms or discussion forums

• Communicate with the course tutor or members of his/her learning group

• Change his/her enrollment

• Prepare and store notes on each enrolled learning module

Another example of EKP ’s focus on the student is the start up procedures.

When a student logs on to EKP he or she is immediately taken to a EKP menu that is most relevant to him or her, depending on his/her functional responsibility, requirements or profile.

Flexibility:

EKP can be quickly and easily customized to suit an individual student's preference.

For example,

• a user can get his or her own personal profile, relevant to his or her needs

• News items can be pushed out to students according to:

• The departments or organizations to which they belong

• Their catalog preferences

• Their learning programs

• Their job codes or classes

• Their join dates

Furthermore, a student’s progress can be tracked and evaluated by a designated appraiser.

• Why should I use EKP?

Five Strikes Rule

Note: EKP imposes a "five strikes" rule whereby a user is disallowed access after five unsuccessful log on attempts
