Over the past year or so we have had many organisations contact us as they are looking to transfer existing classroom based courses into e-learning or by supplementing classroom courses with e-learning.

The difficulty all these organisation have faced is finding a solution that will enable them to upload, sell and deliver elearning through their website without requiring a huge investment or specialist technical knowledge.   This demand led to us creating a new edition of the LMS -   accessplan eCommerce LMS . Accessplan LMS eCommerce edition combines e-commerce facilities with a powerful learning management and marketing tools giving training companies all the tools they need to deploy elearning that customer are demanding quickly and easily.  

In the last 12 months the eCommerce edition has won a Brandon Hall award for  “Best Advance in Learning Technology For External Training” , it was also picked out by visitors to Learning Technologies 2011 as ‘One to watch in 2011’ .  

We are hosting webinars on 17th and 25th February where we will be showing training organisations how they can sell online courses (e-learning courses). Please click here to register.

Training Providers Consider eLearning

E-learning is dead, long live E-learning. We say this because E-learning has become so prevalent in today’s society, it has overwhelmingly bridged the gap between work-based learning and traditional classroom courses to offer the ultimate learning experience.

What in essence is thought of as E-learning or Social Learning is actually being practised each and every day through face-to-face teaching.

There are several ways in which this has happened:  

Social Media Tools
Sites such as Youtube, Facebook and Twitter are used in classrooms and seminars as well as to engage learners in the workplace.

Blogs
No longer are blogs confined as do-at-home ditties; they’re now used in classrooms as personal web spaces to produce and submit work and creative ideas.

Presentations
Sites such as SlideShare can host presentations which are often used in lectures. Students will then log-on at home to go over the presentations again – probably as they were too busy texting during the initial display!

Recordings
Tools such as Echo360 and Camtasia help us record lectures to keep a record of both the content but also to make it available for recap and revision purposes – this was originally used as the only way to deliver the materials to online learners.

Email and More
Learners have always used email to contact teaching staff, as well as discussion boards and forums for support, subject-specific activities, FAQs and more. These days, online and face-to-face students use the same tools.

These are all tools and activities that were once used solely to engage and encourage geographically-disparate learners, but are now being used increasingly for corporate learning initiatives, often in a way that can increase the quality of teacher-contact time the learners have.
