ABSTRACT

Shoe manufacturer Nike Global Footwear has announced that it will take its LMS to its factories and offices around the world, supporting a wide range of training topics. The move will give 10,000 employees access to the system, which Nike's U.S. division has been using for more than 18 months. 'We required a proven global solution that is capable of managing a blended environment of both online and classroom-based education programmes,' explains Kathy Milhauser, technical training manager for Nike Global Footwear. The LMS, GeoLearning Inc.'s GeoMaestro system, will be made available to Nike staff via an ASP model.
