The ipad - how will it change our lives?

James Rhys-Davies posted in General on 22 June 2010 - 0 Comments

We have recently been playing with the new ipad, specifically with the thought in mind of how this new piece of Apple technology will affect our lives.

The result is, we like it. We REALLY like it.  Then again, most of the team were saying this whilst hiding their mac books and iphones (somewhat bias me thinks). But the question still remains, will it make our lives easier?  

The answer to this is no, not really.  What it does is make the everyday, mundane tasks we do more enjoyable, more fun to do, more user friendly and like most apple products, it feels like you are using a well made high tech piece of equipment.  Its does not save you time when looking at photos or sending e-mails, it just makes the experience... an experience.

As I am writing, I have been reminded by one of the team of one area it does make life easier.  When looking at the newspaper, you do not have to fight with broad sheets on trains and on the tube etc... I am sure as time goes on there will be thousands more.  

The question must be then, from an learning and development point of view, when can we start using machines like the ipad with their touch screens and ease of use for the development of our staff and to make learning more exciting in schools.  

With Thousands of books and applications already available, are we entering a dawn of a new time where text books are a thing of the past and all learners / students need is an ipad?

How E-learning can enable new graduates to stand out from the crowd?

James Rhys-Davies posted in General on 24 August 2009 - 0 Comments

You may have just finished a course and feel that you know all there is to know about PowerPoint or Word but do you really understand the business benefits and uses. There is one way to get yourself noticed. If an individual proves that apart from a degree, they have gone that extra mile to take it upon themselves to develop their skills over and above the norm, then this speaks volumes to any HR department.

By taking responsibility for your own personal development, undertaking additional "Work Skills" training you are making a clear statement; you recognise the need to continually develop and you are not sitting back and waiting for the next appraisal to ask for training, but are being proactive by enhancing skills.

With the thought of extra work and mounting student debts, paying for extra training and additional classroom time is not one that all graduates would immediately relish. In fact debts of over £20,000 are now very common so adding to these can be seen as a real problem.

Up until recently E-learning has been solely used by major corporations, it has been seen as expensive and often time consuming. However as technology advances systems have become much cheaper and more highly developed to a point that many skills can be passed on using online based training systems.

Modern online training modules are fully interactive, they engage students far more than ever before and give them the benefit of learning at their own pace, in their own time and from the comfort of their own home. This has allowed training to become more readily available and courses on Microsoft, basic business skills including sales training, office applications or even HR being delivered for just a few pounds.

Many companies are delivering courses online, including insegnisolutions.com, which enable students, or even people in work, to top up their existing skills with practical training packages that are monitored and regulated giving you the advantage over your competitors in the job jungle.

Security film

James Rhys-Davies posted in General on 02 December 2011 - 0 Comments

Due to the success of recent projects with SSG (Sunwin Services Group), Insegni was asked to work with a group of companies including SSG, the Post Office, G4S and Jade Security Services. The brief was to produce an industry DVD to enhance face to face training and highlight both good and bad practices. The film was shot over 2 days in a rain soaked car park in Halifax but our team kept smiling and got it in the bag! We’re currently keeping our fingers crossed as this project has now been put forward for an Industry award! Big well done to all the team!! Add a comment
