Flexible resources
With vision2learn colleges can enhance their current provision using
cutting-edge teaching and learning tools - without putting extra
pressure on valuable classroom resources. And there’s no need to invest
in the required technology as vision2learn is remotely managed and
supported.
Learners can access programmes and study at their own pace at home, work, college – or wherever they have access to a computer.
Easy to use
vision2learn can be accessed through any Internet-connected PC,
using either Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape 6. Learning materials are
presented in PDF or Microsoft Word files, which can be easily and
quickly downloaded.
Learners store test results and assignments in their own
individual portfolios for future accreditation. And because
vision2learn is web-based, tutors can assess learners’ work from any
computer with internet access. The database capability stores progress
information, course material and learner/tutor information in real time.
Integrated message and conferencing system
The integrated message and conferencing system provides
browser-based access to materials, emails and chat rooms for learners
and tutors.
This means learners have instant access to online support from
tutors and other participants. Tutors can communicate with individuals,
entire tutor groups, or even chat to fellow tutors in the online staff
room.
Learner activity can be tracked and monitored, generating email
reminders if a student is inactive for more than four weeks. And
because vision2learn is mapped against current funding methodology, it
provides a comprehensive range of auditable information.
High quality learning
vision2learn gives learners the opportunity to work towards
nationally accredited qualifications, on the National Qualifications
Framework.
User-friendly format
All learning materials are presented in an interactive and
user-friendly format. Each unit is presented with clear learning
outcomes and online support material to help all users, including
tutors, learners and administrators.
