Self-Directed Learning

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.
