Vancouver, BC, Jan 10, 2010 -Lambda Solutions has successfully deployed a custom Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) for the Occupational Health and Safety Agency for Healthcare in British Columbia (OHSAH).
OHSAH is a provincial government agency which provides injury and illness prevention training for British Columbia’s healthcare industry workers. In the fall of 2009, OHSAH contracted Lambda Solutions, a Vancouver-Based authorized Moodle Partner, to deploy its training material into a Moodle Learning Management System. The Moodle was successfully rolled out for testing in late 2009, allowing OHSAH to more effectively train, track, certify and provide feedback to learners, over the web. The organization is now preparing to administer the Moodle to Healthcare Workers around B.C.
"We chose Moodle because it's cost effective to install, has no annual licensing fees and is a flexible and modular install, allowing us to build out the system with more functionality as we need to," said Catherine Ogden, Director of Knowledge Solutions for OHSAH. "Overall we are very satisfied with Moodle. It has streamlined our learning process for users and has enabled more instructional methods to be incorporated into future course developments, such as discussion forums, blogs and wikis."
Lambda finished developing and installing the Moodle LMS in late 2009, with a custom theme, functionality and compatibility with a Windows-based environment. OHSAH’s Knowledge Solutions team is now preparing to administer their Moodle-based courses to B.C Healthcare Workers and Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees around British Columbia.

Vancouver, B.C., June 9, 2009 - Lambda Solutions, providers of exceptional e-learning products and expertise, has forged an alliance with ERAC, (Educational Resource Acquisition Consortium) a consortium of public school districts. An agreement was reached earlier this week to deliver School Safety Orientation for New Employees, an Online Course for new and existing staff to 194 school districts in BC.
ERAC’s Janet Gregory explained, “Lambda’s school safety course was a great fit based on Worksafe BC’s requirement that every new employee of a school district complete a course of this nature prior to commencing their employment with the school district.”
“Lambda Solutions has created an effective and concise method of delivering this course to employees. The web-hosted online course is divided into a number of modules which employees can complete at their own pace. Their progress is recorded and submitted to the employer once the employee has completed the course.”
“We are extremely excited to form an alliance with ERAC, who will now be able to provide our excellent Safety Orientation course to it’s extensive network of members in a cooperative buying program, explained Jonathan Rand Lambda’s Director of Sales and Marketing.”
School Districts in BC who would like to participate in the Program can contact ERAC or Lambda Solutions for details.
ERAC is a consortium of BC public school districts and independent schools that cooperate on software, textbook, video and learning resource evaluations and purchases. The goal of ERAC is to reduce the amount of time school and school district staff spend evaluating, selecting, negotiating and purchasing software, textbooks, videos and learning resources. The company is operated under the umbrella of the Vancouver School Board and is funded by The Ministry of Education and independent schools, which pay an annual fee to remain members of ERAC.
