Introduction

We have written this guide to help you get the best from the new Canon Learning

Portal (CLP).

The Canon Learning Portal is a “best of breed” application which provides on

demand and at the point of need learning. It enables you to search, request and

launch various types of on line learning. This includes on line courses, podcasts,

documents, on line books and videos. The CLP Catalogue will include all existing

Canon courses previously available in MLZ as well as a wide variety of new and

exciting courses from external providers. In addition to this the system will also

manage classroom training courses.

CLP provides a single source for any required learning activity or resource and will

enable The Academy to ‘push’ learning to the right audience or for the individual

to ‘pull’ the learning that they require when they need it.

The purpose of this guide if to help you understand our learning system so you

can use it to help you reach your goals, increase your knowledge, develop

yourself and to be an efficient and effective Canon employee.

provides you with a single overview of all the learning activities and tasks

available to you as well as notifications on pending approvals and actions.

The welcome page is a dashboard for your personal development. It helps you

see important learning topics, links, messages, actions and search engines. This

will enable you to take control of your own learning and will mean, in the case of

most of the learning options you will no longer need to wait for an answer from

your manager or HR department.

Welcome page. These are known as widgets.
