Introduction
With the rapid expansion of the off-grid photovoltaic market in emerging economies, vocational training are becoming a strong need:
1. For solar companies that need to hire an elevated number of skilled persons
2. For individuals that can look into this new market for employment opportunities
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
HelioLearn© Content
HelioLearn© has a modular structure to allow each user to access only the desired content. The learning modules covers from very technical topics to business and entrepreneurship models for off-grid solar PV. HelioLearn© is currently available in french and english and can easily be translated to other languages.
In the table below you can find a list of the modules currently available on HelioLearn:
| Title | Content |
