Smarter Studying with 1Spatial e-Learning
Written by Sarah Gadd, Product Marketing Manager
The challenges we’ve faced over the last 18 months have taught us the value of flexible, remote working. All of our training offerings have transitioned seamlessly to online learning platforms, whether that’s our own 1Spatial Products or products from suppliers that we support such as FME and Geocortex. But the benefits of online training extend beyond the necessities of a pandemic.
When investing in people and technology, you want to make sure your investment is sustainable long-term. Typically, you might train your staff on technology as it is introduced, but if this learning isn’t quickly applied, or periodic refresher training isn’t considered, then those valuable skills can be diluted or even lost. Additionally, technology and products evolve, and staff move on or change roles.
Having to schedule traditional in-person training for a large team can be expensive and time consuming, especially if team structures or numbers are changeable. Use of an online learning tool such as the 1Spatial e-learning platform provides a flexible solution for ongoing training, quickly up-skilling new staff members or revisiting and refreshing training already attended.
Flexibility
People learn best in different ways, some thrive in a tutor-lead environment whilst others prefer reading or watching videos in their own time. The 1Spatial e-learning platform offers a hybrid learning model of with expert tutors, or self-taught, interactive modules.
Materials are available at any hour, from anywhere, and can be re-visited whenever you need a refresher.
Continual Learning
Our Product courses are updated in line with our product roadmaps, single-sourced with documentation so that materials are always accurate and up to date.
Modules in a range of specialised subjects means that learning can be tailored to roles or interests and can be paced as necessary. Topics in the pipeline include topology, writing Java built-ins and fix-up workflows.
Interactive activities and tests challenge learning and increase engagement, whilst earning badges encourages further learning and development.
Environmentally Friendly
Online offerings align with our commitment to more sustainable working practices. There’s no need to travel long distances to hold in-person tutorage, or to print and ship unwieldly paper manuals.
Certificates are instantly delivered upon course completion and can be easily downloaded as PDFs or shared to LinkedIn and other platforms.
