Enterprise Learning Management Overview

Enterprise Learning Management is a pure internet-based solution that enables enterprises to deliver courses and content to learners—whether they are customers, partners, suppliers, or employees—from a variety of sources. With Enterprise Learning Management, companies can manage a blended learning environment, gain visibility and insight into company learning needs, and analyze learning effectiveness.

Enterprise Learning Management is designed for use with other PeopleSoft Enterprise applications using precertified integration with the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management (HRMS) 8.3 and above, as well as PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials 8.4 and above. Integration with non-Enterprise financial and human resources products is also possible, due to open integration technology.

Enterprise Learning Management Business Processes

Enterprise Learning Management supports the following business processes:

Managing financial integration and data.
Managing person, organization, and financial learning-related data.
Managing current and completed employee objectives.
Managing learning resources, such as equipment, materials, and facilities.
Creating a catalog of activities, including instructor-led, web-based, and blended learning.
Defining supplemental learning so that learners receive credit for completing other forms of learning beyond catalogued learning activities.
Managing curriculum programs and certification programs.
Enrolling learners in learning activities and tracking enrollment status.
Managing waitlists and learning requests.
Grading and tracking attendance.
Managing current and completed learning records.
Scheduling, delivering, and tracking of live instructor lead training (ILT) through the web.
(FRA) Managing French regulatory requirements for training.

We discuss these business processes in the business process chapters in this PeopleBook.

We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in this PeopleBook.

Enterprise Learning Management Implementation

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to generate a list of setup tasks for your organization based on the features that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

Enterprise Learning Management also provides component interfaces to help you load data from the delivered Excel spreadsheet into selected Enterprise Learning Management setup tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists the components that have a setup component interface:

Component	Component Interface	References
