Learning Bursts are short, targeted segments of training that deliver valuable knowledge at the time you want it, when you want it. Each burst consists of an 8-10 minute audio segment and several pages of supporting material in a workbook format. This makes it an ideal mobile learning approach. In the Business Acumen course, here are some of the key topic areas: asset-light approach, working capital management, fixed cost, financial ratio analysis, IRR, NPV, ROI, market value, and shareholder value.
This innovative approach to self-directed learning provides learners with:
MOBILITY: Audio files can be stored and used with any device that handles mp3 files. There is no need to be tied to a PC as is the case of a typical online "eLearning" program.
FLEXIBILITY and FOCUS: Pick the topics in a sequence or grouping in a way that meets your learning needs.
CONVENIENCE: The workbook accompanying the audio files is provided as a PDF, giving learners the convenience of easily printing out whatever material they need. There is no need to spend time printing out screen shots one-by-one, as is usually the case in online, eLearning programs.
