Intuto is an independent New Zealand-based online learning platform, with a long history of providing the highest quality e-learning system supported by excellent customer service. We are based in Auckland, and have our HQ in Birkenhead, just a few kilometres from the CBD.
We talk a lot about why you should be using e-learning or online training but we don’t go into as much detail on how to set up an e-learning system successfully. If you’ve never used an online training system before, taking that first step might feel a bit overwhelming.
Here’s a checklist of the things you need to consider and the steps you need to take before you commit to an online training program.
High-quality training is essential for every level of your healthcare organisation, from healthcare providers and assistants to managers and directors. A strong online learning solution is a great way to ensure everyone understands their own roles and how they relate to other roles. This helps to give staffers the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence, which can be the difference between life and death for patients and clients and improve every aspect of your organisation, from admin and customer satisfaction to employee retention. A scoping review found that e-learning in the healthcare field can enhance an education experience, support development, ease time constraints, overcome geographic limitations and can offer greater flexibility.
Professionals in healthcare, more than any other industry, need to be fully trained and engage in ongoing continuing professional development. After all, healthcare professionals are responsible for our health and wellbeing, and arguably, what stands between life and death.
Trucking is an extremely high risk industry, and therefore must adhere to stringent health and safety laws. However, due to its decentralised and 24/7 nature, it can be difficult to meet the requirements and each year there are a number of accidents and deaths in the industry. One way to help prevent these incidents is to use Intuto’s e-learning platform to improve health and safety awareness by putting training online in a simple, mobile friendly platform.
So you’ve designed and created a fantastic online coaching course (or courses!) that will help you grow your business without spending more time with clients. To maximise the impact of using your online courses to scale growth, there are a few more steps to take.
One of the hardest decisions you’ll make is how to price your online course. Don’t just pluck a number out of the air, as it will have a long term impact on your business, from the kind of customers you attract, to the amount of support you can offer and, of course, the revenue you’ll generate.
If you charge too little, you reduce the perceived value of your course and attract lower value clients, but if you charge too much, you’ll price yourself out of the market and have to drop your price, which looks bad.
Look at what similar courses are charging and decide whether you’re worth more (maybe you’re a more qualified expert, or you’ll offer extra one-on-one time) or less than them (if your course will be entirely self-guided, for example).
If you’re a coach – whether that’s a life coach, a business coach or a dog-training guru – you may find that you’ve reached a plateau with your business. After all, there is a limit to how many clients you can work with at a time.
However, there is a way you can scale up your business without increasing your work hours. Done right, online courses are a surprisingly easy and effective way to grow your coaching business. Need to know more? Let’s jump in.
If your coaching relies solely on one-on-one client work, you’re trading your hours for dollars and there is a hard limit on how many clients you can work with and how many dollars you can earn. You can’t spend 24 hours a day working, and you can’t add more hours into the day. Eventually, your business growth will stall.
At this point, you have three options for expanding.
So you’re ready to jump into teaching online? Whether it’s for the first time or you’re looking to shake up your system, the first, and probably the most important decision you need to make is which e-learning platform you’re going to use.
The current situation has hastened the uptake of online learning (and everything else!), so ready or not, educators have been thrown into teaching online. Here’s what you need to know to do it right.
The benefits of teaching online
For those who aren’t used to online education, this new virtual classroom can feel stressful and inconvenient. However, there are actually several benefits to doing it this way:
