We recently met with Liselotte Strarup Nielsen, self-appointed Moodle™ expert at Copenhagen Business Academy to discuss its transitions from in-person learning to online, to a bit of both over the last few years.
The privilege of being part of a very select group of individuals who understand a complex topic, particularly one whose importance is growing as the world strives for carbon neutrality, is not lost on Diana Drinkwater. However, the Chief Executive Officer of Metcelerate—a specialist online school dedicated to the training of metallurgists—is eager to welcome larger cohorts of young engineers from all over the world to an expanding range of increasingly specialized courses.
Training the best professionals is a goal that every organization wants to provide. To do so, they must always be at the forefront of the trends and latest learning technologies that the world demands.
Companies must use the latest digital tools to build better staff training processes if they want to stay ahead of their competition. Colombian airline Avianca S.A. is proof of this. They have built a digital learning ecosystem based on Open LMS while integrating other technologies such as Blackboard Collaborate and IntelliBoard to meet their asynchronous and synchronous training needs.
The ability to communicate in different languages is more than just a skill—it’s practically an obligation due to the demands of modern employment and relationships. As students seek these kinds of skills to become more competitive professionally, countless educational institutions have positioned their curriculums to meet demand.
The National Elevator Industry Educational Program (NEIEP) serves the United States’ elevator union. Its mission is to improve the knowledge and skills of industry members nationwide for their professional development and for the benefit of employers.
The world’s ongoing digital transformation brings new challenges for companies that aim to differentiate themselves through innovative new products, services, or skills. In the case of Colombia’s securities and foreign exchange market, certification of candidates has similarly had to change in innovative ways.
Caja Sullana is a Peruvian financial institution that offers both traditional and fintech services. Its mission is to generate and consolidate a savings culture in the country. To do so, it needed a tool that could not only contribute to Peru’s economic development, but also to the professional growth of its consultants and enable proximity with customers across 14 regions and 77 locations nationwide.
Partly due to the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions have been forced to rethink how they teach. Universidad Privada Peruano Alemana (UPAL, in Spanish) is a great example of change and innovation. The Peruvian institution began operations during the health emergency, creating an education ecosystem where all elements of online teaching and learning come together.
