The course always starts on the first of the month and is accessible to you through the last day of that month. These e-Learning modules contain self-paced lessons, interactive activities, instructor facilitated learning, embedded videos, Camtasia image creation, module review exercises & assessments. Students will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course material/activities & final assessment above 80%.

 

One thing I appreciate about e-Learning is the ability to have all the course material at my disposal. How many meetings do you sit in furiously jotting down notes and creating makeshift task lists only to look at it afterwards and try to piece together what you meant? And that’s if you looked at it within a few hours of writing it because the longer you wait, the less sense it makes.

 

My e-Learning course allowed me to go back and re-read things on which I needed clarity during the chapter exercises. I would screenshot segments (component images and descriptors, machine layouts, etc.) and make my own notes on a notepad, anticipating what those chapter activities would look like based on the information covered.

Because after all, who wants to fail an online exam with all the information in front of you? No one – and that’s the point. I’m inclined to believe you want to do better when performing online, for a multitude of reasons.

 

It’s reassuring to know that those who will answer your questions are physically in our Conklin facility just around the corner from the training room, and the minds who originally laid out the online course material are just an email away. If you ever needed to ask a question, you’re most likely dipping into a pool of knowledge from people who have worked here for 25-30 years.

“Mary DeWan has been with the company for 35+ years. She developed some of the SMT courses, including ‘SM Operator Suite,’ ‘SM Advanced Operator Suite,’ and ‘Intro to DPO,’” explains Joe McCarthy, Manager of Product Training. “Bill Vernola has been with the company for 5+ years. He developed ‘Fuzion PM & Setups,’ ‘Reading Electrical Diagrams,’ and ‘Intro to EVT.’ He is also assisting in the development of the Omni e-Learning.”

And that’s the key thing about e-Learning: you receive a wealth of knowledge, but YOU choose how and where you absorb it.

Whether it be from your phone or laptop, play to your strengths and learn where you’re most comfortable. We all remember where we were when we finished specific books heard a now-favorite song for the first time, or had the best slice of pizza of our lives. e-Learning is as fluid as all those things – books, songs, pizza – because you can access all of them anywhere. The benefits of e-Learning are vast, and the cost-effectiveness of a no-classroom setting is one of them.

 

 

We are also actively working with customers to establish e-Learning courses as a standardized part of their on-boarding processes to help streamline training for new operators, proving to be particularly advantageous for customers experiencing higher turnover rates. For new hire onboarding, e-Learning can be used as on overview of a product or as a prerequisite to attending live training for Programmers, Process Engineers & Technicians.

 

 

Without the convenience of e-Learning, you’d spend thousands of dollars per person on hotel accommodations, travel expenses, meals, and more! That wouldn’t be feasible for smaller companies and would be an added expense for larger companies that might not be justifiable.

Our virtual education is an ode to both our investment in your success and yours. There will be more e-Learning courses to come, along with updated formats to existing ones! “The Omni Inserter e-Learning course is scheduled to be released very soon. This will be one e-Learning course with 9 lessons. We are also in the process of revamping all our e-Learning courses to match our updated format. We will be using the same format for all courses, both existing and future,” says Jenny Jack.

Our e-Learning courses are something you cannot afford to bypass. As someone who has never run a machine before, I’d need to take the live-training class on-site to feel comfortable operating a machine alone, but at least I wouldn’t be clueless. I’d have the basic knowledge and familiarity of the machine, its functions, and the parts it utilizes. The people who I asked questions remotely would likely be a part of my live training in some capacity as well.

It doesn’t get more continual or more integrated than what we offer here at UIC!
