Moodle for Training Providers
What are the benefits to a training organisation?
Training is often limited to a particular group size, date/ time or location. The adoption of a VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) negates these physical constraints. Training using a VLE will allow a potentially unlimited number of learners to access your courses remotely and at a date and time that is convenient to them. Learning therefore becomes more personalised. Within the VLE your members will be able to access not only training materials but also timetables, assignments and learning resources whilst also participating in forums, making learning more interactive and supported.
Often the assessment and evaluation costs incurred by a training provider may add a significant lengthly and costly to the training process. By making full use of a VLE scoring will be automated and collated into reports which will save time and money for your organisation. Other benefits include:
• Learning materials are stored in a protected and searchable environment.
• Users can work irrespective of location, time zones or shift patterns.
• Ideas and knowledge can be shared and made available to registered users.
• Anyone using a standard web browser will be able to fully utilize your VLE.
Moodle for Businesses
All businesses need to disseminate information to employees. This can range from orientation for new employees to internal company training and external qualifications. A Virtual Learning Environment allows you to share large amounts of information simply and efficiently without having to produce paper-based resources saving time, money and reducing your environmental impact.
In addition, should employees be required to complete training activities or tasks, they can upload them into one central repository which will collate and grade the work.
Does your business develop products or services that require additional training?
If you currently spend time training staff on software, techniques or procedures, you’d benefit from our solution. Using a bespoke online learning environment, training on all aspects of the job can be delivered more quickly, cheaply and efficiently. With the range of media available to you over the web, online training sessions are more engaging than text-based handouts or instruction manuals and, most importantly, the time it takes for a member of staff to be up-to-speed and working at to their full potential is reduced.
