Learning Management - FAQs

 
Can you describe very briefly the ICUC LMS? It organises learning and information into ‘courses’. Courses can be anything from a few documents or a series of simple instructions regarding new procedures to complex learning curricula involving online media and offline activities Courses should be just the information you need, just when you need it. You can link into your course any pages you can find on the Web.
What is a course? Courses consist of activities which follow a logical path. These activities can be online or offline, for example:Online - assessment quiz, interactive tutorial, situation simulation, access to the wealth of information on the internetOffline - read a chapter in a book, check out the company manual, give Jim Smith in Marketing a call, attend a workshop/instructor-led course.Essentially, you build brick upon brick and the system acts as your guide and map. In some courses where the order of information is less critical, you can jump around.
When can I access my courses? Depending on the nature of the activities - the answer can be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system is designed primarily to allow users to learn/be informed as part of their working day. Those who can allot more time can request the next activity and so move ahead faster.Users also receive e-mails at regular intervals introducing the next activity along their path.Anyone requiring additional information or reinforcement an click on the course mentor link and start an e-mail dialogue.
Where do courses come from? Courses can be created quickly and simply and can utilise resources already in place. Above all, there is a wealth of information freely available on the internet - courses can simply select the most appropriate information and present it in a logical order. The ‘cement’ - the information introducing activities and resources, and additional internally created resources then focus the content on the specific needs of the organisation.
Are courses static? They shouldn’t be! Courses can evolve - new resources become available or the activities on which they are built are themselves enhanced. Courses should get better with use.
Are users working ‘on their own’? Most definitely - NO. The activities do not need to take users away from their workplace - they may even involve those around them in the activities themselves. The mentor can be available to provide additional help and some of the activities can involve meeting the mentor or other relevant personnel.What’s more is that users can be enrolled into groups with a number of people progressing through the same course or set of courses at the same time - but at their own pace. This can create a great deal of peer group interaction and even competition.

"e-learning or online learning is just another delivery and administration mechanism for helping individuals to understand or 'make sense of'. It can have many different elements which combine to enable learners to achieve objectives. Perhaps it is better referred to as ME-Learning. However, like all learning, it requires significant initial investment in the learning design - identifying what the learner needs to learn, or 'makes sense of' and describing how best to present that to the learner. With a wealth of public domain information on the internet, in a number of areas it is no longer necessary to create new content!"
