Leonardo energy E-learning program on power quality

E-Learning is becoming an increasingly important way for professionals to update their knowledge. It provides them with the ability to access targeted resources at a time of their choosing and at their own pace. E-learning is already well established in some areas, such as the medical profession. In the electrical and energy sectors, well constructed resources that promote copper intensive solutions to address service factor, quality and reliability problems within current installation will be of high value. Over the last few years, the trend has been to produce resources in electronic format and to deliver them via the internet. E-learning is a natural extension of this process, with individual resources packaged, together with self-assessment modules, to form a structured learning path in which the user is progressively guided through the material. Self-assessment tests, before, during and at the end of the learning process, enable the user to review the material, to refer to supporting materials or to post questions in a forum. User progress through the material and their self assessment responses are logged, allowing to assess the effectiveness of the material, determine future needs and gather information indirectly about their current practice and attitudes.
