What is eLearning
eLearning is a mode of online learning that makes the most of the latest technologies. Blending innovative educational tools, methodologies and formats, eLearning can be used to create education strategies and learning paths that facilitate professional training.
Content can be viewed synchronously (meaning trough lessons happening in real time) or asynchronously (trough lessons available on demand) on many different devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets.
Online Training
How does an eLearning course work?
eLearning courses are displayed on a digital platform called Learning Management System, where content is available in different formats. An LMS platform can display a great number of courses and digital content as well as quizzes and tests.
Learners can access lessons and content, but can also interact with tutors or with each other through forums, chats, video conferences ore emails, depending on the course’s structure (either synchronous or asynchronous). They can collaborate on projects and work groups, take exams and get grades and certificates.
