E-learning Consulting

The learning organization

A learning organization has a shared vision that links individual and organizational performance objectives. Ideally, organizations should move away from a top-down model of training to develop learning strategies that take into account the greater picture. Integrating interactive and participative blended learning environments which include a mix of eLearning, face-to-face interaction as well as a variety of other options is but one of the key strategies to ensure that your organization is working towards becoming a learning organization.

How can Eruditio help?

Eruditio provides its blended learning expertise to organizations that are planning to implement or upgrade online education and training. We offer training, research and development, as well as consulting services to help implement systematic and integrative learning system solutions.

Eruditio 's staff has a solid training background with years of in-class and online training experience. In combination with our multimedia development expertise, we develop eLearning solutions that provide a rich learning experience for a variety of training participants. The following is a list of our primary blended learning and educational technology services:

eLab 3.0

Eruditio's eLab 3.0, an eLearning course builder, enables the rapid development, integration, updating and deployment of eLearning courseware and content. The eLab Editor is a standalone desktop authoring application that enables the rapid integration of course content into pre-defined learning activities or Learning Objects.

The eLab Editor permits the designer to determine the course structure, integrate the content, determine which media elements will appear, set quiz and interactivity parameters. Once the course is built, the eLab Editor generates an XML file and a CSS file that interacts with the eLab Player.
