Hager: "Not Only… But Also" Option

Saarbrücken (GER), July 2015 - As a company that combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative technologies, Hager was quick to recognise the benefits of eLearning. The leading supplier of power-distribution systems, as well as solutions and services for electrical installations, has been using state-of-the-art learning opportunities since 1997 to keep up with the fast pace of innovation in the industry. In a new, easy-to-access web-based training (WBT), electrical engineers can now playfully develop their expertise of modern cable routing and remote connection systems.

However, to maximise learning, Hager is not only providing product knowledge via eLearning: it is combining the online training with appropriate attendance-based seminars. This "blended-learning" strategy provides a "not only… but also" option, consolidating elements of eLearning and attendance-based learning into a single comprehensive training architecture. Hager uses eLearning as required to prepare, monitor, and consolidate attendance-based training.

ELearning content is available via a learning-management system in the cloud. Using an IMC learning environment, not only can learners complete WBTs; they can also access material such as webinar recordings and interactive instruction manuals in the form of "smart lessons", which can be used at anytime, anywhere, on any device.

Readers of imc’s new case study will learn more about the rich variety of Hager's training strategy and how the latest technologies and a highly competent partner can help to eliminate training barriers. "It’s always a pleasure to work with IMC", said Martin Zimmer, Online Training Consultant at Hager.
