HelioLearn© Features
HelioLearn© is an online training learning management platform developed by LEDsafari to support vocational training. It was developed with a strong learner-centric approach relying on the pedagogical expertise of the team. HelioLearn bears a unique pedagogy which makes the training process fun and easy to follow by means of slides and videos.
The students are regularly stimulated with:
- Challenges - to facilitate their concentration
- Fun facts and anecdotes - to raise their curiosity
- Analogies, examples and short videos - to explain complicated concepts.
- Assessments at the end of every module - to evaluate students competences and skills.
The learning process of each student is tracked in order to provide to the training responsible a simple and smart way to follow their progresses
Possible Applications
Hiring tool:solar companies operating in region where it is challenging to find technically skilled employees can ask their candidates to complete the online modules before inviting them for an interview.
Time saver: the theoretical knowledge can be delivered through HelioLearn online blended learning formula allow also people with low tech background will be able to follow the modules.
Professional Development: PV technologies are continuously evolving. Experts of basic Solar Home System can learn about mini grids, solar pumps or smart grid for their next career step.
Channel Partner Training Tool: solar companies can upload their own training materials and share it with partners and customers.
Customer sensibilization: individuals curious of their rooftop system have the possibility to discover the photovoltaic technology.
