BlueVolt, Portland, Ore., a provider of online training, recently launched HD Supply University for HD Supply, Atlanta. A BlueVolt press release said HD Supply University gives the company's customers a competitive advantage in the marketplace by providing high-quality online training. Since launching HD Supply University, more than 800 of HD Supply's customers have had employees take the training on topics such as plumbing, electrical and appliance repair.

TheBlueVolt platform has a reporting feature that allows the company's elearning administrators to see which customers are most engaged with various product training courses, and who may need additional support or information. To ensure ease-of-use, HD Supply is using BlueVolt's customized auto-enrollment feature, which automatically places enrolled participants into the appropriate company group and displays relevant courses to each individual learner. This user-friendly feature removes the need for learners to find courses or join a group on their own, which is often a barrier to successful elearning participation and knowledge retention. BlueVolt says that as of this month it has delivered more than 1,094,000 courses to over 180,000 registered users.
