Description

Course Approach

This online toolkit on returning to work and leading a team during COVID-19 brings the learning to life through innovative use of dramatised video scenarios using remote meeting software to show learners how best to utilise software to communicate, lead and meet productivity goals. Due to the social distancing policy, our actors filmed themselves in their own homes using software on their computers, lending additional authenticity to the scenarios which our characters find themselves in.

Supporting the learning and providing context to the videos, we have interactive e-learning screens for learners to test their understanding and engage directly with the material.
