Chameleon Launches d-Learning

Chameleon Training and Consulting, a member of the British Airways group of companies, has announced the addition of a new d-learning or 'delivered learning' service to its portfolio of consultancy and training services.

d-learning is an email delivered continuous professional development and learning tool, which allows organisations to deliver and support enterprise wide training by integrating web communication techniques with traditional training media. This groundbreaking training delivery method makes it easier for managers to facilitate the provision of both just-in-time, and ongoing training activity to their teams via corporate email.

By delivering each module, or eBriefing, to the learner's desktop Chameleon can help organisations to maximise the effectiveness of their training activity, whilst reducing time away from the office and providing considerable cost efficiencies.

The division of each module into short 'bites' means that it takes an average of fifteen minutes to read and digest - keeping the disruption to operations to a minimal. This kind of training activity will also help to build a learning culture within organisations, and encourage continuous professional development.

d-learning allows learners to track their advancement and measure their development and knowledge through online assessments and evaluations using the Personal Development Planner and the Continuing Professional Development Record & Report. This is seen as one of the keys to maximising return on investment on training activity, improving performance, and providing an identifiable career development path for all employees.

Delegates can access a library of over 150 courses which include high-quality programmes in everything from Customer Management to Presentation Skills and the system also provides access to a huge number of web-based resources that are tailored to each subject.

The flexibility offered by d-learning means that students can access training at a time that suits both their work and personal lifestyle. Chris Parker, Marketing Manager at Chameleon says, 'd-learning offers what many organisations want - a cost effective training system that offers the learner relevant training at a time suitable for them. It also allows them to learn at their own pace.'

'eBriefings can be delivered either daily, weekly or monthly to suit the learner and each available course contains comprehensive information sources, reference materials, exercises and additional training aids. d-learning is making training not only educational but enjoyable as well.'
