Training & Support
As well as providing timely support throughout all our consultation and development projects, we provide short staff training workshops relating to the creation of e-learning resources and the application of e-learning systems within teaching.
We know that learning technology is a constantly and rapidly changing area and your staff may need support to keep up to date. We offer tailored onsite training services for your organisation to improve your e-learning capability by introducing your staff to e-learning or developing their existing e-learning skills. We will work with you to understand the needs of your staff and deliver training that is specifically designed to satisfy their learning objectives.
We can train your staff to:
- Understand and start using e-learning in their work
- Use rapid e-learning and blended e-learning techniques
- Independently use authoring tools to develop their own resources
- Develop their e-learning skills to adopt new learning technologies
