The concept behind our online service is simple and straightforward. It is the idea that people can create a tailored personal learning experience for themselves based on a range of learning formats and toolkits. These include:
- Online tools and resources
Online questionnaires
Online Coaching
Interactive webinars
Fixed Video Content
Downloadable Audio Content
Shared and Interactive peer-to-peer advice and guidance
This can add value to face-to-face learning by reinforcing and supporting learning messages,or as resources for use in workshop style training.
An individual learner can sign in and access a range of resources that are arranged by industry sector. Alternatively,sub sections of skills can be accessed to aid site navigation.
People who are employees of corporate partners or subscribing organisations will be able to sign in the same way,however,they will have an additional resource. This will be the ability to access a brand specific section where companies may want to have specific internal communications for their employees to access, that are separate and private from any other site user. Examples of this specific organisational content could include:
- CEO briefings
Product Launches
Corporate Announcements
Employee Newsletters
Process or Technical video briefings
The site will have the facility to carry appropriate communications for organisations where feedback or responses are required;for instance:
- Employee Surveys
Exit Surveys
The section could also provide an independent place for customers to visit to give feedback and access information as well.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
What will the content be like?
The content will focus on skills application,examining the ‘how’ of the subject in hand with examples or relevant case studies. Unlike many public sites,the content will be focussed on the needs of the learner through the use of interview techniques where an expert or trainer is questionned. We believe this adds significant value when compared to the standard offering of simply watching a recording of a training session or sales pitch.
The online community will really exploit the Internet’s core strengths allowing people to pose questions and receive both expert and peer-to-peer advice.
Is it meant to replace face-to-face learning?
No. As an organisation we are committed to all types of learning and believe that different styles and media suit different individuals and different needs. We anticipate that Savvy Learning will work in many different ways for our clients varied needs. Online learning is particularly good for reinforcing face to face learning,or for the preparation faze before hand. It’s also useful for small organisations who need to induct new staff or for assisting companies to provide individualised learning for career development for individuals.

How is it different from E Learning solutions or my Intranet?
Fundamentally,the content is focussed on skills and briefings and utilises a more community-based approach than internal Learning Management Systems. The content is highly pragmatic and each webinar will enable online coaching to be added at specific times. Forum threads can be used for ongoing commentary and advice.
