Velpic has developed a unique cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) that allows companies to create their own training lessons and distribute them to staff and contractors.
Velpic LMS will now be rolled out across Australia and New Zealand by the National Rugby League and used by 4,000 players across the talented player and elite pathways.
Russell Francis, chief executive officer, said: “We are extremely pleased that our work with the Canterbury Bulldogs has brought us to the attention of the NRL and that we have been trusted as their online partner for such a strategic project.
“We look forward to helping the NRL rollout their blended learning strategy in 2018”.
Learning strategy for rugby league players
The NRL is aiming to use Velpic's eLearning technology to deliver educational learning on topics like wellbeing, respectful relationships and social responsibilities both on and off the field.
Players will be notified automatically of new educational modules and the NRL will have the ability to track and respond automatically as modules are completed.
A dashboard and reporting tool will provide real-time information on completion rates and engagement.
Velpic’s learning management system
Velpic’s eLearning and eCoaching platform is targeting the growing LMS market, which is expected to be worth $15.72 billion by 2021.
It is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) based application that allows anyone to create and distribute training to anyone on any device.
Velpic has specialised its platform and training content to focus on high-growth verticals including schools, sports, infrastructure, construction and most recently franchises.
The company already has an extensive list of ASX 200 clients using the platform.
