Explanation
Background:
This legislation will authorize the Director of the Department of Human Resources to accept a grant from CPS/IPMA to introduce the facilitation of learning through the Internet or intranet. E-Learning is self-contained learning materials and resources that can be used at the pace and convenience of the learner. The City of Columbus and its training initiatives rendered by the Citywide Training and Development Center of Excellence (CTDCE) to date have not included e-Learning, making this new and uncharted territory.
The project goal is to incorporate interactive learning inclusive of measurable learning objectives. Because it is Internet-based, it has excellent potential to respond to the City's rapidly changing needs and offer new learning opportunities relevant to the internal/external customer's unique position.
Emergency action is requested to allow for the earliest possible commencement of the grant program.
Fiscal Impact: There are no required matching funds for this grant award.
