Sample Work

Training Information Management System II (TIMS II)

  Client
Ontario Power Generation

Project
To develop a Web based training application that would teach various staff how to use their custom Training Information Management System.

Challenge
A number of different occupations would be required to use this program, each using different functions. The training program had to be ready as soon as the system went live.

Solution
The core of the training program was a software simulation of the TIMS II program. Exercises were then built in to allow the users to perform various activities on the simulation, with the program providing feedback and tracking results.
 
     
 
Electrical Safety Awareness (ESA) and Online Test


Client
Hydro One

Project
To convert an existing instructor led course on Electrical Safety Awareness to an on-line course.

Challenge
The existing program contains more than 70 minutes of linear video. The participants are spread all over Ontario, some having broadband access to the corporate intranet, others having dial-up access. The results of a final test must be recorded.

Solution
We developed a media rich, interactive training program that included graphics, animations and much of the existing video. The main delivery medium was a hybrid approach; the interactive content resides on the corporate intranet and the media (video and narration) on a CD. For those locations that have dial-up access or no access, a stand-alone version of the program was created on CD. A separate final test was developed for the corporate intranet and participant completion results are emailed to the course manager.
 
Sim-Stations
Client
Toronto Hydro

Project
To develop a training program to teach maintenance personnel how to safely perform switching operations in electrical power stations.

Challenge
Switching in power stations is a very complex process where the consequences of performing the wrong operation are very high including injury and even death.

Solution
Develop a simulation of the main types of stations where the maintenance personnel could practice their switching operations in safety. This program provides common scenarios that the maintenance personnel would regularly face and provide feedback as these scenarios were completed. Logs of the results of the switching operations would be recorded and available to the instructor or supervisor.
 
General Employee Emergency Response (GEER) E-Learning Modules


Client
Ontario Power Generation

Project
To develop a series of interactive exercises for the General Employee Emergency Response E-learning modules

Challenge
To develop a series of realistic interactive scenarios within a short time frame

Solution
We developed a series of scenarios using Flash with information provided by our client. These were highly interactive and done on time and budget.
 
Canada Magazine Fund (CMF) Web site

Client
Canadian Federal Government, Department of Canadian Heritage.

Project
To create a new web site for the launch on the New CMF Program.

Challenge
To create a site where users can understand the CMF program and can easily find the information they require.

Solution
Worked with the program manager to structure the information and then created a site to allow easy access to the information. On-line and downloadable forms were also created to assist applicants when applying to the program including an on-line interactive tutorial that helped applicants to fill out the required forms.
 
 
Publications Assistance Program (PAP) Web site
Client
Canadian Federal Government, Department of Canadian Heritage

Project

Competency Information Management System (CIMS)


Client
Egyptian Electrical Authority

Project
To develop a system to manage the competency of Employees at EEA.

Challenge
To take a complex set of competency requirements and develop an easy to use database to manage the progress of thousands of employees. Both English and Arabic versions of this database were required.

Solution
Developed a multi-user database system using Access. The Occupation Competency requirements were developed by team members and set up by assigning formal training courses and field training assignments to the Occupation. Training results on a per employee basis could then be input by the training center or the supervisor. Reports showing the status of any employee or work group could then be viewed.
 
Maintenance Procedure Information System (MPIS)
Client
Egyptian Electrical Authority

Project
To develop a system where the most current version of maintenance
procedures would be accessed and used by field locations.

Challenge
Numerous new documents were being developed on a regular basis. The
communication infrastructure was already being taxed to its limits.

Solution
We developed a web based information system (MPIS) to facilitate easy access of maintenance procedures by head office and field staff. This included creating the structure, organizing the content, converting existing documents to a web based format that minimized the file size of documents and creating templates for new documents. During this process arrangements were made to improve the communication infrastructure.
