Meet Philippe Pillonel, eLearning Project Manager at The Swiss Samaritans Federation (an affiliate to the Swiss Red Cross). |
Philippe Pillonel
eLearning Project Manager at
The Swiss Samaritans Federation (ASS)
JoomLMS Team – Hi, Philippe. It was really inspiring to see your positive feedback about JoomLMS on Twitter and find you ready to share more details about your implementation having more than 10,000 users/ year. Could you please briefly introduce Swiss Samaritan and give us an idea of your role within the eLearning project?
Philippe Pillonel – Surely, I can. The Swiss Samaritans Federation encourages volunteers‘ activities in rescue services, community-based health protection and first aid. It ensures that the wounded and people who suddenly fall receive first aid. The federation fills the gaps in the network of social institutions by the spontaneous intervention or additional assistance in the field of care and supervision and raises conscious awareness for health and prevention of accidents. The Swiss Federation of Samaritans is an affiliate to the Swiss Red Cross as its rescue organization. I'm working at the head office, in the training team, as a person responsible for the First Aid courses we are proposing to the population, and as eLearning Project Manager.
JoomLMS Team - What were the project requirements for a Learning Management System when considering the solutions?
Philippe Pillonel - The project requirements are to have a stable product, and as easy and flexible as possible. We have over 50'000 participants yearly attending our trainings. More than 10’000 prefer eLearning to offline training now and we expect this number to go up. We need something stable and easy. When 1% of our participants are asking us a question because of technical problems or they don't understand how to login, or how it works, that is asking us too much resources. We also have to accept online payments, and for teenagers. JoomLMS is offering us a possibility to easily accept credit cards, our national debit cards, PayPal and a coupon system. We also need a very good SCORM compatibility. JoomLMS is offering us all those possibilities, and a lot of possibilities to extend the system, with custom development as well as with Joomla! plugins.
JoomLMS Team - How is JoomLMS being used within the online First Aid training project?
Philippe Pillonel - JoomLMS is used to deliver SCORM content and a certificate at the end. We also plan to use forum, homework's, additional quiz, and document database.
JoomLMS Team - What are the key advantages of using JoomLMS for the project that make a difference?
Philippe Pillonel - The difference was flexibility (extension possibilities) and really efficient SCORM compatibility, as well as the simplicity to use as a participant.
JoomLMS Team - What new features would you like to be added to JoomLMS or request as a custom development?
Philippe Pillonel - We would need a Tablet compatibility, the possibility to verify a certificate number online within a form.
JoomLMS Team –It is really important nowadays to keep your eLearning multi-device compatible. For your information Mobile delivery capabilities for JoomLMS users are under implementation now and we expect to release this functionality in March, 2013. We will consider adding Tablet compatibility to our road map just after that. Philippe, thank you for being proactive.Feel free to take advantage of our price reasonable custom development service. We will be glad to make JoomLMS Tablet compatible for you, implement online certificate number verification and more for your needs.
JoomLMS Team - What is your personal experience with JoomLMS solution and the team? How likely is it that you will personally continue using JoomLMS and collaborating on new projects in future?
Philippe Pillonel - My personal experience is that JoomLMS is easy to use, and it just works. No problems. I will surely continue to use JoomLMS, we already have a new project now and I don’t plan to launch one more new project. If I did, I would stay with JoomLMS.
This feedback is a well-deserved praise for our enthusiastic work and caring about the needs of our clients.
