Generalist®/LM, an education management and e-learning system, and MotionBoard, a BI dashboard, are integrated to contribute to human resource development by visualizing learning status and test results in real time

Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation and WingArc1st Inc. have developed a data analysis function that integrated Toshiba Digital Solutions' Generalist®/LM, an enterprise education management and e-learning system, with WingArc1st's BI dashboard, MotionBoard. Toshiba Digital Solutions will begin offering this function as a new optional feature of Generalist®/LM today^*1.

Toshiba Digital Solutions and WingArc1st have been working to create new services in the areas of factory and human resource development since their announcement of the capital and business alliance in November 2020^*2, in addition to their existing collaboration in the digital solutions business. The new service is a function integrated to Generalist®/LM, an education management and e-learning system in Toshiba Digital Solutions' Generalist® series of human capital management solutions, which was developed through collaboration in the area of human resource development.

Corporate education managers need to understand the learning level of employees, review e-learning content that leads to efficient learning, and plan new educational content. However, the operational burden was high since the education managers needed to output course data after the training, analyze and summarize it. In addition, with the current demand to respond to the evolving business environment, such as the spread of telework and job-based employment, it is important to provide necessary information in a flexible and speedy manner in the field of human resource development.

The data analysis function will visualize the distribution of employee attendance time and test analysis results in real-time even in the mid-stage of training, enabling the effects and trends to be grasped by the end of training, as well as enabling early consideration of future training plans.

The data analysis function reduces the workload of educational administrators and enables them to quickly run the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate), which is an improvement cycle for educational use, into an improvement process. The new "Data Analysis" function will improve the efficiency of the ADDIE model to obtain high learning effects and support the introduction of instructional design*3 for corporate human resource development.

Toshiba Digital Solutions and WingArc1st will continue to contribute to human resource development in Japan through the services.
