With e-learning, you can give instructions online – regardless of time and place. The decisive factors are structure, comprehensibility, and proof. Here you can find out how to plan online instruction in a didactically sensible way – and how sam® supports you with assignments, reminders & certificates.
At first, very few employees are happy to receive online training. But it has many advantages that go far beyond the elimination of paper and face-to-face meetings. This is because training can be carried out anywhere and at any time. The decisive factors here are a clear structure, comprehensibility and reliable proof. This is exactly where our EHS software sam® supports you. And our “mascot” Sammy makes sure that even serious topics are not short of a smile.
Online training can be flexibly integrated into any working day. It makes almost no difference whether you are in the office, in production or on the road. Content can be assigned to specific target groups and updated quickly if required. Thanks to microlearning, the modules remain short, practical and easy to understand. Supplemented by interactive elements, barrier-free design and mobile optimization, sam® ensures that instructions are not only completed, but also have a lasting effect.
Another crucial point is traceability: with sam® you automatically document who has completed which training and when. Test results, certificates and reports can be called up at any time.
At secova, we want to show you that online instructions don’t have to be complicated. With sam® they become clear, efficient and motivating and are therefore a real benefit for every employee.
