Language learning courses added to the E-Learning Centre website
In today’s global economy, it’s more important than ever to know
more than one language. Thankfully – for those in the UK – English
has become a major international business language but it is still
valuable to know at least one other language, if only to help in
forming and strengthening international relationships.
With this in mind, the E-Learning Centre, an information resource
about e-learning and learning technologies for business education,
not-for-profit or the public sector, has added technology-delivered
language courses in French, Spanish, German and Dutch for
English-speakers to its growing portfolio of
e-learning courses.
Moreover, it has added courses in learning English for French,
Spanish, German, Dutch, Polish and Russian and Brazilian Portuguese
native speakers.
All these e-learning courses – which can be delivered to a range of
devices – have been developed by the Belgium-based language
specialist, Altissia.
“We believe that the Altissia multi-language learning platform,
which is SCORM-compliant, provides engaging and effective e-learning
of an excellent standard,” said David Patterson, a director of
Learning Light which runs the E-learning Centre website. “Each
e-learning programme is immersive, practical and progressive and, as
such, we believe should be hugely effective.
“All the Altissia courses scored extremely highly in Learning
Light’s e-learning content evaluation tool (E-Lcet) – which provides
an objective assessment of any piece of e-learning,” he added.
“Indeed, all the e-learning materials that form the ‘courses’
section of the E-learning Centre have had to meet quality criteria
set through this tool.
“This means that anyone who is looking for e-learning materials can
be confident of the quality of those available via the E-learning
Centre website.”
The Altissia language courses can be studied, effectively, purely
via e-learning materials but Learning Light can also arrange – with
Altissia - for those who want to improve their pronunciation,
comprehension and oral expression to talk to a native speaker of
that language, via videoconferencing.
“These language courses are available both to individuals and, as a
language platform, to organisations which want to standardise the
language learning materials for their employees,” said Patterson.
