Nowadays, many large companies pay more attention to employee training, and in order to ensure that their employees can keep up with the changes of the times. They often need to provide online job training for keeping high level of employees’ efficiency of enterprises. Therefore, many companies choose to establish a complement internal training system through the enterprise online training platform. So, for now you may have some question like how to choose a professional enterprise online training? And this question has become a distressing thing for many people. So, what is a professional enterprise online training platform? In my opinion that there are three basic characteristics of online trainings.

Rapid deployment

first of all, A professional enterprise online training platform enables rapid deployment of the system. Through modular programming and a complete technical architecture, the builder can be provided with convenient station building functions. The administrator only needs to input parameters and it does not need professional programming knowledge to realize one-click deployment of the online learning system.

Easy to manage

Second, a professional enterprise online training platform that provides convenient background management. Managers can quickly set up the course through the built-in course management program in the system, and can quickly upload courseware content such as PPT, video, graphics and text.Through the student management program, you can easily view the progress of each student’s learning, and perform statistics. In short, on the enterprise online training management platform, with the help of various convenient management functions, the training management efficiency can be effectively improved.

Easy to use

The direct users of the enterprise online training platform are the participants of the training, that is, the ordinary employees of the enterprise. Therefore, a professional online training management platform needs to have easy-to-use features. Participants in the training can quickly master the use of this system, which can improve the efficiency of internal training and speed up the work of employees.“Driscoll (2001b) and others have reminded us, e-learning is not just about the technology, but also many human factors. There is no doubt that corporations are increasing their emphasis on e-learning”(Strother, 2002).

After knowing what kind of online training is professional online training, I would like to compare the advantages and disadvantages of online training and traditional training. Here is some advantage about online corporate training.

Traditional training is usually conducted in the form of live lectures. It is difficult to evaluate the evaluation in the later stage, and it is difficult to quantify the training effect. The online corporate training platform is ready to develop training and learning plans and release tasks. At the same time, it can track student progress in the form of reports and team management, and set learning goals for team members. This is somewhat in line with the ease of management of online training. Because with the development of technology, traditional methods of collecting and evaluating are not very efficient. There are also many x factors. For example, the trainer’s illness is not performing well today. Some students are absent from key classes. It is easy to miss the focus by simply taking notes. These have a high probability of affecting the training results.

Traditional training resources are few and the courseware is influenced by the experience and energy of the lecturer. This number is very limited. Due to the wisdom of a large number of lecturers, online business training has a comprehensive curriculum system plan. At the same time, users can upload internal resources that are only for employees to learn and solve internal training materials. For example, in a fixed city, his trainer resources are limited. Most trainers are locals. Learning is easy to limit. I can use an example of myself to illustrate. When I was a high school student, I took part in our local tutoring program to deal with the college entrance examination. Because the exam questions are different in every province in China, but the test sites are roughly the same. If only the teachers in this province came to help me, he would not think of the knowledge points of other provinces. So my resources are very limited. If there are online classes at that time, I can choose different provinces to study. Enrich my knowledge from multiple perspectives. In addition, traditional training is limited by the cost, venue and other conditions, often only for middle and senior managers, and the situation of contact training for grassroots employees is very rare. This has made it difficult for the motivated basic staff to accept the opportunity for promotion. I have seen a movie about a story of a grassroots employee working hard. Many senior executives in the movie are brothers and sisters of a family. But they don’t work hard every day. There are many excellent employees at the grassroots level who are very motivated. In each year of training, corporate training focuses only on those relationships that are not motivated. This makes it difficult for grassroots employees who really have the ability to learn to get professional training. As time goes by, companies have to face bankruptcy. In addition, the fees that traditional training needs to pay include lecturer fees, venue arrangement fees, etc., with large capital investment and short training time. The online corporate training platform does not care about lecturer fees and venue fees. In the form of “system rental, free content”, this is very attractive for businesses. Based on Park, Kim & Yu (2015), the online training is similar with the real training situation. not only it provide good background for study but also it has plentiful study sources.

In contrast, the traditional training mode is in the form of face-to-face teaching. His advantage is that this training method generally does not require the transmission of information by means of electronic information transfer technology. More conducive to the old-school trainers to play. After a long time of testing, the traditional training method has been valued by most companies with its intuitive, vivid and image characteristics.

However, according to Major (2015), “the lack of clarity about student right in online courses has caused some educators to consider the issues and propose potential guidelines.” My point is that Before technology has evolved into holographic projection, online learning is not likely to replace offline learning, and the two will complement each other.

Corporate training is more about unrelated education. It means that employees can “do things right” after they finish school. Of course, some management training is to inherit the values ​​and let managers “do the right thing”. But in general, most of the training is to hope that students can deal with work items in a certain scenario according to standard skills or procedures. In other words, most of the training is not knowledge-based training, but skills, and even attitude-based training. For the training of skill types, training is currently required on the computer, and the cost to the enterprise is very high, even impossible. For example, training a data center delivery service personnel, if you want to use online learning to complete the teaching, the enterprise may need to set up a virtual delivery scenario, at least to simulate the key scenarios that employees may face during the data center delivery process. A series of targeted exercises. There is a lot of cost behind this, which is far less effective than directly arranging employees to enter an internship base to get started. For some content that needs to be quickly iterated, such as the related technology trends involved in the solution sales category, the technology of 3 to 6 months may change greatly.

For example, this kind of training is like a “Selling seafood, the content of the training content is too short. Instead of spending time to develop online training, it is better to organize an offline workshop. Let’s discuss the latest technology trend and consider how to Combine this part with the value proposition of sales to better promote sales.

Of course, and online training’s advantage can show in this situation. for example, Online training can guarantee the standardization of training in large-scale situations and efficiently deliver training. A traditional training course can have up to 30 people (in fact, some high-interaction training is best no more than 12 people). Imagine if you need to complete the training coverage of 3,000 people in 3 months, then use the traditional Training is basically impossible, and online training is not an unfinished task as long as it is properly designed. Similarly, if you are training on a very cutting-edge content, and only one or two experts in the company can explain the problem clearly, then the most appropriate way is obviously not to let the expert do nothing, flying around the world. To do training, he is invited to record teaching videos, design online exams or homework, and then use online live or other online interactive methods to invite experts to answer the questions of the students.

In conclusion

In the absence of sufficient development of technology, online training cannot completely replace the traditional training model. But I believe that online training in the future will definitely replace the traditional training model. With the development of technology online learning, online education must be a trend. In addition, I think a good online training platform needs to have three characteristics that I have summarized. Through the rapid deployment of the online training platform, internal training can be carried out as soon as possible, and convenient management functions enable managers to conduct training management efficiently. Employees can quickly grasp the usage and start up as soon as possible through an easy-to-use platform. Finally, I hope that science and technology will develop better in the future so that they can provide more convenient and excellent learning conditions for more and more students.

summary feedback

My article has several distracting points which is good, but it’s still not very clear. I need to develop all my analysis perspective more specifically. And also, I should write more details into my opinion. And it is better if I add some examples to strengthen my point of view in my points.

Second, I need to find a lot of references and using the ideas in other authors’ articles to prove my argument.

Third, the using of grammar and words needs to be improved so that I can do my best to make my article look more professional. And I feel that I need to find a lot of advantages and disadvantages of online corporate training to form a hedge that makes my article look more talkative.

Then I should focus on my point of view. And posting some of my views on these strengths and weaknesses.

Draft #Online corporate training

post#1digital web tool help student study well

nowadays, many novel technologies have appeared. Such as VR technology, online learning technology and so on. And also online web tool brings a lot of benefits and convenience to people. Students are benefits more than others. In the article, the author describes the benefits of many online web tool. And it mentions five most important online course elements like enrollment, timing, amount, platform, and pathway (Major, 2015, p.77). I agree with the author’s opinion that these five important elements can indeed be used as a criterion for judging whether a student is serious about learning. For example, the speed of registration time can reflect the degree of expectation and expectation of a student about taking this course. The number of times about enter this web page can prove how many times student view this page. It also prove the time students spend on this article. These factors can help the teacher understand whether a student is studying hard.

Next, I want to talk about a few online learning web tools that I have experienced.

First, the first one is the course space that uvic students use every day. This software is not stranger for uvic students. It is a teacher who can update the daily learning content. Students browse the latest or past course ppt for the day. It is convenient for you to do adequate preparation and review. My favorite is the time concept of this software. In the daily review, I can clearly feel the passage of time. And also the time when it will come to the exam. it will push me study harder for the exam when it were colse.

The second software is called class dojo. This software is suitable for students who has poor self-learning ability. Because this software can give feedback to students in real time. Let the students understand how they have performed during this period. In addition, this software can also record the situation of students in this period so that their parents can have an understanding of their own learning situation in the future.

In summary, the current learning sites are diverse. A good e-learning tool not only helps students learn better, but also helps teachers understand whether students are working hard.

showcase open education

old link https://qiliu.opened.ca/wp-admin/post.php?post=25&action=edit

 

After reading Hegarty’s Attributes of Open Pedagogy article, I have some personal insights. What is open education? As we all know, the definition of open education is to realize the free sharing of educational resources and teaching materials. Let people can search knowledge from internet and learn it by themselves. This method is different from the single generation of knowledge from the teacher in the past.

 

I want to talk about my thoughts in two ways.

First of all, for students, open education will undoubtedly benefit students a lot. For me, I am a third year economic student in Uvic. If every economic class requires a book, it is an expensive for the student. Generally speaking, the cost of a new book is about 200-300. Some engineeringstudents’ books are undoubtedly more expensive. Although in some classes student can find second-hand books luckily, it is also a small expense for students. If open education is realized, not only the teaching fee be saved, but also an increase in the convenience of knowledge and time saving. Because students can save time in the bookstore to find a book. And all they need to do is just click on the search on the Internet. it brings us lots of convenient and fast. Even it is good for environmental protection. Because books need trees to supply. In addition, online teaching resources are now diverse, and students can easily acquire knowledge by themselves. For example, youtube is a great learning resource. I have a Digital arts course this semester. This is a class about design. And I like this course very much. Because when I was young, my dream was to be a designer. But this semester is a short summer semester, with 20 days of continuous learning. To be honest, for an economics student like me. Skilled learning and mastery of knowledge are difficult in such a short period of time. So in my personal time, youtube saved me, and I kept open youtube to learn the knowledge of my class. I have learned from youtube on the details of photoshop, animation, illustrator. I am not mean that the teacher is not good at teaching. My point is that my foundation is very poor. I can’t master the teacher’s knowledge in a short time course. Imagine if there is no open source like youtube, I can only go to the teacher’s office to ask questions. This is an inconvenient behavior for me and for the teacher. So I am very grateful for the open resources on the network.

 

In the second aspect, for those who are not students, open resources on the Internet will undoubtedly help them a lot. Because a lot of knowledge is connected. For example, an engineer has done his own planning drawings. He needs to show his views at a conference. At this time, you need to use the knowledge of computer software. The network makes pictures, show on the media, and makes stereoscopic displays. These knowledge are not feasible for a person who will only know engineer. What should he do? He cannot take a course just for those basic computer software knowledge it will waste lot of time. At this time, the open resources on the Internet can help him learn better. For those who graduate or have not attended school, open resources are undoubtedly opening another door forthem. Give them a second chance to learn.

In our course material, the authors of “Attributes of Open Pedagogy: A Model for Using Open Educational Resource” also explained eight interrelated attributes. Among them, I think those three viewpoints are most important that People, Openness, and Trust, Innovation and Creativity, Sharing ideas and Resources. Because if people can trust each other, strive to innovate, and strive to share knowledge to achieve common progress. In this way, open education will get better and better.

In addition, I agree with Jesse Stommel in this article. Students should be the creators of knowledge and not the communicators. The development of knowledge lies in constant innovation and development. If every student simply passes on knowledge, there will not be such a great scientist born. Like Einstein, Edison, Copernicus and so on. I hope that every student should have his or her own thinking and have an independent ability to think independently. I have seen a closed movie. In the old society, a student was beaten very hard by the teacher because of he questioning about the teacher’s method. But fortunately he has an open minded parent who supports him after listening to his ideas. Let him believe that he has his own ideas. His name is Pan yuanshi,  he is a successful scientist. In reality, each of us should have such a learning concept. Student should to dare to question. Have your own thinking. In this way, there will be a variety of successful man in the future.

post #4 Open Education and Open Educational Resource

post#3 Social Media to Connect With a Community of Learners makes things easier.

          The learner community is a magical place that allows many people who have never met to realize their dream of working together through an online model. It allows a group of people to communicate with each other and share past stories and successful experiences with each other. “community allows us to be around others who hold a common set of ideals and ideas and who can validate our own experiences and beliefs” (Major, 2015, p.227)

         For myself, I was benefited by this learner community. When I was a freshman of university. I still remember that my first class was law. Because law have so many problem that need to be discussed, there are group assignments. So the teacher is divided us into many study groups. I have four members who come from all over the world, including Americans, Indians, Chinese, and Koreans. Because everyone’s personal time is different, everyone has their own arrangements. So our time is difficult to be unified. So a team member suggested that we use the cloud of chrome. That’s a platform where we set up an account and we can manipulate each other like a learner community. Then we began to divide the work and each person completed a part and made a note. Because I was in contact with this form for the first time, so I still have a very skeptical attitude. When it was my turn, I opened the community cloud and I was excited to find that the previous work was done very well. There are comments each parts, I just need to finish my part. This greatly saves us time to meet. Then we stipulate that if there is any doubt, we will leave a message and every student will go online to modify it at each night. And also we shared the experience of each other’s problems and smooth solutions. This greatly improves the efficiency of working together and makes things a lot easier.

               In addition, I also agree with major’s point of view. It is difficult to contact students to create a learner community in online courses. But if, like my experience, if we have a lot of contact with the learning members. Putting forward their own ideas, communicate more, and develop a variety of programs. Then nothing can stump us. And now there are a variety of technologically advanced social media, like bluejeans, facebook can help us study well.

post#2 public personal privacy makes people in danger.

From the article, the main point is how to retain the ownership of our intellectual property.

I personally have two opinions about google’s understanding of me. First, for the advantages, I think this is a good way to understand. it also can save me a lot of time. For example, youtube video on google, I am a sports enthusiast, I always like to watch a variety of sports videos. For example, NBA, and I always have a lot of NBA video recommendations every time when I log in to youtube. This saves me a lot of troubles in finding videos and brings me a lot of convenience. it makes me more relaxed and happy. On the other hand, for the shortcomings, this is a bad information disclosure. Because the staff of these websites can find out your personal preferences based on your browsing history. Then there will be some harassment or sales calls. Sometimes it is not a good thing to know someone else’s personal privacy. For instance a man like to show to the outside is a tall and mighty image, but in the back he is a weak person. So once the information on the website he look though has been public. his inner weakness will be made public. It will cause his resentment.

In addition, I agree that public student privacy informations will make students fall into danger. Because for international students, many students who were first year study broad have a lot of things are ambiguous. For example, renting a house, transportation, bank cards, etc. In this situation, leaking a lot of student information can put students in danger.

As mentioned in the video, a website worker can find their customers’ itinerary and spending in recent days from their own channels. Even a request for a pizza with two layers of meat outside will be recorded. Such information disclosure can be very unsafe.

So I agree that Sean and Jesse’s point that plagiarism detection software is not functioning as a detect machine.
