Alternatives
Rather than a self-installed MOOC implementation, Aman Resorts also has an alternative by using third party solutions. Two types of third party solutions are available to use, outsource the MOOC system to another party entirely, or a mixture of “pick and choose” MOOC where Aman Resorts can take advantage of existing MOOC solutions (Dodson, Kitburi, & Berge, 2015, pp.16-17).
Outsourcing our corporate training to a company well versed in implementing MOOC solutions could be a great alternative compared to a self-installed solution. Many companies such as Intrepid Learning and Udemy provide MOOC services to other companies. In fact, many prominent companies have collaborated with other MOOC companies successfully, such as Yahoo and

There is a variety of options to choose from, for instance, a common option many companies choose from is to make use of already established MOOC provider’s courses. The simplest option is to encourage employees to improve complete parts of their training using relevant courses from the existing MOOC providers (Dodson, Kitburi, & Berge, 2015, pp.17). For instance, Coursera collaborated with MasterCard and provided a course based on web applications for 2,500 MasterCard employees (Sanchez-Gordon & Lujan-Mora, 2015, pp.123). In addition, another variation of “pick and choose” is by utilizing only parts of a MOOC and tweak it to their needs. Rather than integrating a complete MOOC solution or using outside help, Aman Resorts can take the most useful features of the MOOC for their training solution. This way, Aman Resorts does not have to build one from the ground up, and may be able to integrate previous training solutions (Dodson, Kitburi, & Berge, 2015, pp.17). Also, by utilizing only parts of the MOOC, Aman Resorts also gets greater control over the content used in the training and potential savings in …show more content…
Employees from partner agencies will need to familiarize themselves with the new MOOC and likewise, Aman Resorts needs to needs to provide diverse content to ensure compatibility with all employees.

Some company pays educational institutions directly for expensive, intense training programs that require payment up front (O’Reilly, Brendan 2001). Today, nearly 15 percent of our domestic workforce is enrolled in college and university coursework, more than half seeking advanced degrees. Our participation rates are three times the national average for companies with similar programs. And, participants' retention rate is double that of all employees (Cassidy, John F. 2004).

Due to the ever changing landscape of the business world many employers often send their employees to attend trainings and seminars. Though this specialized training sessions are costly the return a company gets from it is worth the investment.

By examining Gallagher’s creativity, eagerness to learn, and his confidence, it is clear that he is the best candidate for a MOOC.

With the continuing evolution of technology, companies will need to train and educate their employees to upgrade their level of knowledge. This is being accomplished through company training or
Just as students are learning at Post, organizations and the personnel within them need to continue to learn. Organizations need to continue to refine processes and focus on innovation. Organizational learning gives companies the ability to create, remember, and share knowledge within an organization. In order for an organization to be an effective learner they need to make it a focus on everyday work, practice it through all levels of the organization, create a focus on the creation, retention and transfer of knowledge through the organization, and solve problems where they begin, Organizational learning provides an opportunity to effect positive change throughout the organization. A company that is an organizational learner is one that is innovative, continually refining its processes and learns from its mistakes. Personal learning within an organization greatly enhances the organizations core competencies. It can be done through education and training programs. Such programs consist of schooling, training seminars, mentorships and on
Training outside of the military affords an organization a different perspective on how to approach existing issue asides from the typical ways of conducting business. Therefore, outside training is beneficial being as it is not military structured but aims at completing the task just with a different methodology. Training and development of employees is a single priority that can pay some of the highest dividends in terms of productivity and profitability as well as aiming toward greater customer satisfaction (Woodman, n.d.). More importantly, delegating some of the more time-intensive training activities to an outside trainer, the employees and company still benefit from the training, and managers are able to attend to other tasks. Another benefit of outside training depending on the level of training required, the trainer may spend several days or weeks learning the specifics of the company.
According to the case by Pavelek (2012) (as cited in Tiem, Mosley, & Dessinger, 2012, p.111), a time when organizations frequently outsource their training rather than maintain it as an internal department function, the training team of
Education is exceedingly important but as they say good things don’t come easy, and you have to work hard for what you want. In the today’s day and age multiple programs are created to help students of all ages attain a better education in easiest way possible, for example the Magnet Program in middle and high schools, AVID in high school and the ATM pathway program at Los Angeles Trade Technical College.

To protect competitivenes has been gotten hard with globalization. Because of this reason, companies give big importance to training programs. Because they know that
Value of off-the-shelf training provides the basic content of facilitation materials that the company does not have to create from scratch saving time, money, and resources (CRM, 2009). Videos can be used for multiple training exercises/lessons. In addition, they cost less than hiring experts or sending staff offsite (CRM, 2009). Video storage builds a broad resource library that can be accessed anytime (CRM, 2009). Off-the-shelf courses make economic sense with a huge advantage being time and money saved in over 80 hours of development time and costs of approximately $1,500, and $5,000 in opportunity costs (UL Compliance, 2017). Annually, depending on the number of courses purchased, a firm could save $30,000 to $100,000 annually in
Massive open online courses (MOOC) were introduced in 2008 by Dave Cormier. The original aim of MOOCs was to open up education and offer free access to University education for as many students as possible. They are generating a considerable attention and high interest from higher education institutions. They are viewed as an extension to current online approaches in terms of access (Hoxby, C 2014). The focus of MOOCs is to provide free, cutting edge education that reduces the cost of University education. Universities are beginning to provide online courses by establishing open learning forums such as edX. New businesses have emerged as a result of this opportunity for example organizations such as Coursera and Udacity have collaborated with elite universities to provide online courses for free or charging a small fee for certification. A new company in UK has been formed to provide free, open online courses from leading Universities in UK for learners around the world( Albert, S & Thomas, C 2000).
It also includes the delivery of content via Internet, intranet/extranet (LAN/WAN), audio- and videotape, satellite broadcast, podcast, interactive TV, CD-ROM, and more. E-learning programs are endowed with a training system, which employees can access, where face-to-face instruction is not possible because the very nature is that it is borderless and potentially global in scope. With e-learning methods, training can take place on-demand, and trainees can be given greater control over their learning than ever before (Rosenberg 2001). This increased control has the potential to improve training effectiveness. E-learning courses add value to traditional learning modes by offering self-paced or live, instructed training classes. Specifically, self-paced courses can be taken at the employee's leisure and are good for self-motivated persons. Typically these types of courses can be taken at convenience of the busy workers as well as for globally dispersed employees. Hence workplace training needs to be broadened and customized (Marc J. Rosenberg & Steven Foreman 2010). Live e-learning is capable of instant updating, storage/retrieval, distribution and sharing of instruction and information. Soft skills such as management, leadership, or team building can be tackled in this environment. However, this type of training works best if the class size is limited to 25
