Learning Light offers alternative generic learning content
Learning Light, the e-learning market analyst and approved centre
delivering Level 2, 3 and 4 qualifications into the workplace, is
offering its customers access to an extensive library of generic
e-learning content.
This move comes in the wake of the decision - announced in August -
by the generic e-learning content producer, SkillSoft to acquire the
learning management systems (LMS) producer SumTotal Systems.
Learning Light Director, David Patterson, explained: 'There's some
evidence - especially from organisations in the USA - that
e-learning content buyers are becoming sceptical of SkillSoft
courses.
This is not just because they fear that SkillSoft's tie-up with
SumTotal Systems will adversely affect them in some way if they're
not using the SumTotal LMS but also because SkillSoft's content
tends not to be video-based and, so, can now appear 'dated'.
'Learning Light manages a large range of contemporary e-learning
materials for its own activities and to distribute to other training
providers,- David continued.
'We have e-learning courses - from a number of content suppliers -
on a wide range of topics including business improvement, business
skills, selling skills, office skills finance, engineering and
manufacturing, health and social care.'
Learning Light distributes e-learning courses from, among others,
eJ4, Virtual College, eltalking, Vado, Learning Light and the
language specialists, Altissia.
'In particular, the 'ej4 performance enhancement solution' is
designed to increase the intellectual value of human capital by
instructing repeatable skills and knowledge that increase 'close
ratios' for sales people, improve performance and modify
behaviours,' David said, and added that these learning and
performance support materials are used by the sector skills council
EU Skills, major corporations such as Rio Tinto, Pfizer, Merck, Dr
Pepper Snapple and Pepsi and innovative accountancy practice,
Knowles Warwick.
The ej4 videos focus on performance improvement techniques and
skills. In particular, they deal with improving sales and customer
service skills but there are also videos covering leadership and
management activities.
The video content is cloud-based so it's accessible anywhere via a
range of devices. Course administrators will find that the content
can be managed via ej4's online campus or on an existing LMS.
'The idea behind these content-rich, high quality videos is that you
can train your team in record time at an affordable cost, using an
approach that is proven to work and maximise success - ultimately
adding value to your company's bottom line,' said David.
'Each ej4 video uses green screen technology to let the presenters
interact with their content - a technique used by TV weather
forecasters. This increases the impact of that content on the
learners and it's been shown to maximise its learning
effectiveness.'
