Assalammualaikum and hello everyone. On 19^th November 2012, ‘Web Based Employee and Development’ were analyzed and present by our friends, Shalini group. What can I say, I like all the information and I get new knowledge about ‘Web Based Employee and Development’. What I have learnt from this topic is I know how to differentiate about concept of ‘learning’, ‘training’ and ‘development’ definition. Even look the same; actually all three of these words carry its own meaning. We know that, learning is the act, process or experience of gaining knowledge or skill. According to Kavanagh et al. ( 2012 ) in their book ‘Human Resources Information Systems: Basic, Applications and Future Directions’ defined training the planned acquisition of the knowledge, skills and abilities ( KSA ) to carry out a specific task or job in a vocational setting. Development in an organizational context ensures that employees possess the KSA required to fulfill future roles in the organization ( Kavanagh et al., 2012 ).

From the presentation, I understand about purpose of Training and Development ( T&D ) such as to alleviate possible future skill shortages. Besides that, I can know about training and development subsystem:

Besides that, I can explain the system model of training and development such as:

1)      Identify training and development needs.

2)      Design training and development solutions.

3)      Implement training and development solutions.

4)      Evaluate training and development effectiveness.

The important things I took away from the presentation activity by Shalini group are I more understand about the applications and methods in e-learning. As we know, e-learning is refers to any learning facilitated using electronic way. Besides that, I also know about e-learning methods such as computer-based learning (CBL) and multimedia-based training (MBT). UniversitiTeknologi Malaysia is one of the universities applied e-leaning in educations environments.

One of the important things I get from the presentation is I learn and understand about the HRIS applications in training and development. As we know, HRIS applications in training and development are very important to organizations because it can record all the information that related with purpose of training management. With HRIS applications in training and development, employee can see their performance before training.

From this reflection, we can know the ‘Web Based Learning and Development’ are very important because can contribute to the organization with effectiveness and efficiency productivity.
