Most of the knowledge you need is in your organisation. The challenge is to know what you need, who knows it, and how to get this knowledge.
Edvantage group's CoLearning platform creates an online community for sharing and developing knowledge for both structured and unstructured learning. By working together in an online community, groups share and develop knowledge, run projects and collaborate across borders, time zones and organisational barriers.
The platform is used for two main purposes: 1. support for event-based training, and 2. building communities of best practice.
Support for event-based training
The information flow around event based training and seminars is substantial. Often, participants arrive without a full overview of what to learn, what to have done before and who to meet. With Edvantage groups CoLearning Platform both the information for the events, and the learning and dialogues that takes place before and after the events are found on one place.
