what is e-learning?

The basic concept of e-learning is self-directed learning through digital technologies. E-learning is a form of education that uses the Internet and computer technology to deliver training content. At Altkom Akademia, e-learning is one way to deliver training, allowing participants to learn anytime and anywhere.

e-learning courses at Altkom Akademia

Altkom Akademia offers two types of e-learning training courses: ready-made and dedicated.

Ready-made e-learning courses

Ready-made e-learning courses are designed by experts

Dedicated e-learning training courses

Dedicated e-learning training courses are prepared on behalf of the client and discuss topics selected by the client. As part of these trainings, Altkom Akademia cooperates with the best experts in the field.

The most frequently raised questions in the area of e-learning

Did you know that Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform is a place where you can gain knowledge and skills 24/7 from anywhere in the world? Let’s learn more about its details.

🧩 Functions of Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform

Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform is where you can find both ready-made and dedicated training courses. They can be conducted anywhere and anytime, without the need for in-house technology solutions. For example, an HR employee at corporation X can use the course “Procrastination. How to stop procrastinating” during a lunch break at home or in a coffee shop.

📚Training materials

The platform includes different types of training materials – from videos, to reading texts, to exercises and tests. Such differentiation allows learning to be tailored to the learner’s individual preferences. For example, someone who prefers visual learning can focus on videos and diagrams, while someone who prefers auditory learning can focus on podcasts.

⚙️ Course Navigation

Thanks to the modular structure of the courses, navigating the Altkom Akademia platform is simple and intuitive. Each course is divided into modules or lessons. Lessons are divided into smaller segments, which helps you stay focused and learn more easily. For example, in the course “How to bring digital hygiene into your life,” the first module is about why technologies draw us in so much, the second is about specific ways to bring digital hygiene into your life, and the third is about how to maintain digital hygiene for the long term.

🔄 Customizing training to meet customer needs

Altkom Akademia also offers the possibility to create dedicated training courses, which are tailor-made for the customer. What does this mean? It means that a customer can, for example, submit a need for soft skills training for the sales team and receive a training program tailored to specific requirements and expectations. After revisions and approval by the client, such training is made available on Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform.

📱 Time and location flexibility

One of the biggest advantages of e-learning training is its time and location flexibility. Users can learn anywhere – for example, at home, in a café, in a park – at any time of the day or night. All they need is Internet access and a device – a computer, tablet or smartphone. This is especially valuable for those who work shifts, are self-employed, or for people who simply prefer self-study.

All this makes Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform an effective and flexible learning and development tool for both organizations and individual users.

Did you know that the modular structure of e-learning training📚 facilitates the learning process for both organizations and individual users? This effective system, which allows for easy course management, is one of the key elements provided by Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform. Let’s find out how it works!

Definition of Modular e-learning training structure 🎓

Modular e-learning training structure is a solution that allows you to divide your course into smaller units, or modules. These modules are independent of each other, which means you can learn according to your own schedule and pace. Each module covers a specific topic or set of topics, making it easier to understand the material and remember it better.

Benefits of a modular structure for e-learning training 👍

The modular structure has many benefits:

  1. Flexibility of learning: 🕒 With independent modules, course participants can learn when they want and when they can. This is especially important for employees who value flexibility and the ability to learn at their convenience.
  2. Better understanding of the material: 💡 The modular division of the courses allows you to focus on specific topics, which helps you understand and remember the material.
  3. Easy course management: ⚙️ For organizations, modular course division means easier course administration and management. You can easily add, remove or change modules without disrupting the entire course.

An example of a practical application of a modular training structure e-learning 💼

Suppose ABC company wants to train its employees in Excel data visualization. The company opted for an e-learning course provided by Altkom Akademia. The course consists of a dozen lessons on the different types of charts available in Excel.

Employees can independently choose which lesson they assimilate first, which further motivates them to learn. Flexibility in time and location makes it possible for employees to learn both in the office and at home, at a pace that is convenient for them.

The aforementioned features of the modular structure of e-learning training courses make them very effective and flexible. Altkom Akademia, by offering training based on this structure, contributes to the improvement of qualifications and motivation to learn among employees.

E-learning vs. employee training logistics

Logistical difficulties created during the organization of traditional classroom training are common problems faced by companies in various industries. E-learning in this context becomes an ideal solution. Here’s why:

🎯 No need to adjust the schedule

Each employee can use e-learning training at their own convenience, eliminating the need to synchronize the schedules of multiple people. Employees can learn at their own pace, allowing them to better assimilate the material.

🌏 Access from anywhere

E-learning training can be accessed from anywhere, provided you have Internet access. There is no need to organize a space for the training or cover travel costs for employees.

👥 Flexibility in the number of participants

Classic training courses usually have a limited number of seats. With e-learning, training can be available to an unlimited number of participants, and thus there is no need to create multiple groups and schedule multiple dates.

Did you know that e-learning allows you to track participants’ progress in real time? This feature is undoubtedly one of the greatest assets of online training. Monitoring the progress of participants is an essential part of any learning process and is the key to effective training management.

Watching Progress in Real Time 🕒

In the case of e-learning training, the instructor has the ability to monitor the progress of participants on a real-time basis. E-learning platforms, such as the one offered by Altkom Akademia, usually offer integrated tools to track progress, both individual and
and group progress. For example, a teacher can see which participants have completed which modules, what scores they have achieved on a test, or at what pace they are working.

Progress Evaluation 🎓

Evaluating the progress of participants is extremely important to find out where participants are facing difficulties and what areas need additional work. By being able to monitor the participants’ performance, the teacher can scope the material to meet the individual needs of the participants.

Feedback for Participants 👥

Direct feedback to participants is also valuable. By monitoring progress, the teacher can give individual attention where needed. Feedback can help participants understand which aspects need improvement and which are already at a good level.

Online Training vs. Progress Monitoring 🏫

Conducting progress checks can be much simpler in the context of e-learning than in traditional learning. Thanks to technology, it’s possible to track both the performance and engagement of participants, allowing for precise and effective progress assessment.

Based on this information, it is possible to intervene quickly and effectively, allowing participants to get the most out of the training offered. Monitoring the progress of participants is definitely one of the key strengths of e-learning training.

Did you know that with e-learning training you have the chance to rapidly develop your skills and acquire new knowledge without delay? A key element of such a form of learning is the ability to access training ‘off-the-shelf’. 🚀

What does “access to training ‘off-the-shelf’” mean? 🤔

The term “access to training ‘off-the-shelf’” refers to the ability to initiate the training process immediately after purchasing a course or receiving access to training materials. Thanks to e-learning technology, you no longer have to wait for a training date, gather a group of participants, or adjust your schedule to fit the time set by the instructor. Everything is available immediately when you log on to the e-learning platform.

What are the benefits of “access to training ‘at a glance’” 🎁

Quick start 🏁

The first and most important benefit is that you can start learning almost immediately. You no longer have to wait for a specific training date or worry about missing deadlines in the near future. All you have to do is log in and start learning “right away”.

Convenience and flexibility

Access to “off-the-shelf” training gives you full control over your learning process. You decide when you want to learn, and you don’t have to adjust your schedule to fit the set training dates. For example, you can spend 15 minutes studying during your coffee break, or an hour in the evening when you get home from work.

Saving time

Not having to wait for training to start means saving time. Under this model, not much time passes from the time you purchase the course to the time you start learning. You can start gaining knowledge and skills without waiting too long.

Definition of Dedicated Training

Dedicated training courses are individualized training programs tailored to meet the specific needs of a particular client. Unlike standard training, which is offered to a wide range of clients, dedicated training is designed to meet the specific needs of one company or organization.

For example, Company X manufactures computer equipment and wants to train its sales team in sales techniques for that specific type of product. As a result, Company X asks Altkom Akademia to develop a dedicated training course that focuses specifically on selling their products.

Dedicated Training Creation Process

Creating dedicated training is a process that usually involves several steps. It begins with understanding the client’s needs, which is most often achieved by conducting a training needs analysis. Next, a training design is developed, which includes the definition of training objectives, the development of a training program and the selection of training methods and tools. Finally, the training is implemented and later evaluated to ensure that it met the client’s expectations.

For example, Company Y is a non-profit organization that offers counseling services for the elderly. It asked Altkom Akademia to develop a dedicated training course to help their counselors understand the latest research on memory and brain aging. The process of delivering this training includes analyzing the needs of Company Y, designing a training focused on the latest brain health research, and then implementing and evaluating the training.

Delivering Dedicated Training

Dedicated training can be delivered in several different ways. It is possible that the training materials will be delivered directly to the client, the training can be prepared in the SCORM standard and uploaded to the client’s e-learning platform, or the training can be prepared on Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform, and the terms and time of access to the training will be agreed individually with the client.

For example, Company Z wants to conduct a multi-level project management training course for its management team. Altkom Akademia develops a series of training modules consisting of videos, texts, and exercises and tests that are available on Company Z’s own e-learning platform, allowing Company Z’s employees to go through the training materials at their own pace, from anywhere, at any time.

Advantages of Dedicated Training

Dedicated training offers many advantages. The most important of these are the ability to customize the training to meet the company’s specific needs and the ability to provide a consistent message to all employees. In addition, dedicated training allows the company to control the pace and schedule of the training, as well as the training content and materials.

Company A is a pharmaceutical company that is launching a new drug. To ensure the success of this product, Company A asks Altkom Akademia to develop a dedicated training course for its sales team. This training focuses on the unique features of the new drug, as well as effective sales techniques in the pharmaceutical sector. As a result, Company A’s sales team is well prepared to sell the new product, and the company has full control over the message and quality of the training its employees receive.

Did you know that every organization has unique training needs? That’s why Altkom Akademia provides dedicated training that is delivered in a variety of ways, tailored to the customer’s specific requirements and conditions. Let’s take a closer look at what this flexibility in training delivery entails.

Available training delivery options

Provision of materials at the customer’s organization 🏢

Altkom Akademia can deliver all necessary training materials directly to the organization. The advantage of this solution is the ability to customize the pace of the training to the individual needs of the organization, as well as the opportunity to discuss and ask questions of Altkom Akademia’s qualified staff.

Example: Company X ordered a dedicated project management training course. Altkom Akademia provided training materials that the company’s employees can study during team meetings.

Posting on the client’s own e-learning platform 💻

Customers who have their own e-learning solution can have courses prepared in SCORM form and made available directly on their platforms. This form allows for easy integration with the company’s existing training solutions.

Example: Company Y uses an internal e-learning platform for employee training. The company opted for dedicated training prepared by Altkom Akademia in the form of a SCORM package, which was made available on their platform.

Using Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform 🖥️

For customers who do not have their own e-learning platform, Altkom Akademia offers the possibility to use their own technologically advanced platform.

Example: small company Z, which does not have its own e-learning platform, decided to have a dedicated Office training course. The training was made available on Altkom Akademia’s e-learning platform.

In the world of education, there is a method called blended learning, which combines traditional learning with e-learning. Starting with an introduction to the topic, we move on to specific training courses available at Altkom Akademia.

Definition of Blended Learning

Blended Learning, also known as blended learning, is a way of organizing the learning process that combines face-to-face methods (traditional) with remote methods (e-learning). This model makes it possible to use the advantages of both forms of learning. For example, a student can attend a stationary workshop and receive additional materials and exercises digitally on an e-learning platform.

Benefits of Blended Learning

With the blended learning model, trainees can benefit from direct contact with the trainer, while enjoying the advantages of e-learning, such as flexibility of learning hours and access to training materials at any time. For example, a company employee can attend a training course conducted by a specialist in the office or online “live,” and then use the e-learning materials at home to consolidate and deepen the knowledge gained.

Application of Blended Learning at Altkom Akademia

Altkom Akademia, as a training institution, offers training in the form of blended learning, combining classroom training with e-learning. Some of the material is delivered in the form of face-to-face meetings with the trainer, and some is delivered via an e-learning platform. For example, a person interested in project management training can attend a stationary workshop led by an expert in the field, and receive additional materials, tests or exercises in digital form via the e-learning platform.

Advantages of Blended Learning for organizations

For organizations, blended learning training is an opportunity to make efficient use of time and resources. This is especially beneficial for large companies that can simultaneously train many people regardless of their location. For example, a company with multiple branches in different locations can organize internal communications training in blended learning, allowing all employees to participate without having to travel.
