What is an eCampus? What’s its purpose?
The purpose of the eLearning Campus (or eCampus) is to provide essential training in an online format that your employees can complete from any internet-connected device (computer, smartphone or tablet). The employee can complete as per a timeline created by you, the employer, with the added bonus of being able to revisit the content as often as needed – even after the course is completed. Each online piece will include text, images, videos (where training has been pre-recorded with slides or screen captures) and quizzes. This combination accommodates many learning styles and aims to keep learners engaged.
