Six Key Areas

Learning Light Customers Access Virtual College Courses

David PattersonSheffield (UK), February 2014 - A raft of online learning courses from Virtual College is now available to customers of The eLearning Centre website.

Virtual College is one of the UK’s most successful eLearning producers. Over the last seventeen years, it has delivered successful eLearning to over one million online learners. eLearning Centre users now have access to Virtual College courses in six key areas:

  • business improvement
  • managing people
  • health and safety at work
  • health and social care
  • food hygiene
  • "trades essentials"

The Business Improvement section includes courses on 5S, a Japanese management-productivity tool aimed at process improvements and "lean working"; an introduction to using social media to improve business results; as well as a course on how to implement equality and diversity policies in the workplace. How to manage equality and diversity – along with a wide range of other issues, including learning and development – is dealt with in the "Managing People" section.

Courses in the other sections relate to job and industry–specific activities, notably for people in the health and social care, food preparation, and manufacturing / engineering sectors.

David Patterson, a director of Learning Light, which owns the eLearning Centre and provides advice and help to organisations using eLearning and learning technologies to improve their business performance, commented, "As you would expect from a high-quality producer with a long and successful track record in terms of eLearning courses, all the content is highly engaging and compelling. I, for one, can well understand why one million learners find this learning content helpful."

The eLearning Centre website - an information resource about eLearning and learning technologies – contains several hundred courses from acknowledged world leaders in generic online courses, including eJ4, eltalking, Vado, PresentationTube, Learning Light and the language specialists, Altissia.
