Case studies
The following case studies show some of the organisations who
have benefitted from our Content Rescue service.
Manchester City Council
Manchester City Council had previously purchased some e-learning
from the Financial Services Authority which they were happy with,
but which was only available on CD-ROM. The City Council in
Manchester was keen to use the e-learning, however they wanted to
be able to offer it to all their staff and track the progress of
individual employees.
MyKnowledgeMap was able to convert the third party e learning
into a SCORM 1.2 conformant course, suitable for delivery through
the Council's LMS. This allowed Manchester City Council to roll out
the same e-learning across all their departments and use SCORM
tracking to monitor the development of various members of
staff.
Chartered Management Institute
When the management curriculum changed in 2008, the Chartered
Management Institute asked MyKnowledgeMap to redevelop their e
learning to meet the new standards. This involved content mapping
and the creation and addition of new content.
The Content Rescue service realigned the e learning with a new
complex course structure and provided new material for the Level 5
Certificate in Management and Leadership.
Anderson Peak
Performance (APP)
APP is a management and personal development consultancy which
specialises in stress management, well being and career transition.
They approached MyKnowledgeMap in 2007 with a request to make their
course on Managing Pressure at Work available to a large number of
managers.
The content came to the Content Rescue team in Microsoft
PowerPoint, who then repackaged it as SCORM conformant e learning
which could be delivered online.
Retail Academy
Last year MyKnowledgeMap was asked to create PDF workbooks for
the Retail Academy's NVQ Level 2. This involved converting fully
interactive e learning into workbooks which could be printed and
worked through by hand. Due to the nature of the e learning, much
of the content was re-engineered to work well in a workbook
format.
To produce the PDFs, the Content Rescue team developed Compendle
Publisher, a plug-in tool which rapidly generates print-ready PDFs.

product pages on this site, or go directly to the Compendle
website.
Edexcel
In 2005, Edexcel International identified a demand for the HND
in e-business in Bahrain. MyKnowledgeMap had previously developed e
learning for the course in English and meeting the demand involved
translating the entire course into Arabic.
There were challenges involved in the undertaking, not least
working with a different language and an alternative character set.
However, with the combined expertise of a consultant translator and
the Content Rescue team, the content was made available in Arabic
and the requirement was met.
