ABOUT US
Understanding eLearning is simple. eLearning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online.
There are many terms used to describe learning that is delivered online, via the internet, ranging from Distance Education, to computerized electronic learning, online learning, internet learning and many others. We define eLearning as courses that are specifically delivered via the internet to somewhere other than the classroom where the professor is teaching. It is not a course delivered via a DVD or CD-ROM, video tape or over a television channel. It is interactive in that you can also communicate with your teachers, professors or other students in your class. Sometimes it is delivered live, where you can “electronically” raise your hand and interact in real time and sometimes it is a lecture that has been prerecorded. There is always a teacher or professor interacting /communicating with you and grading your participation, your assignments and your tests. eLearning has been proven to be a successful method of training and education is becoming a way of life for many citizens in North Carolina.

WHAT IS E-LEARNING?
E-Learning is the process of using technology to assist learning and tutoring. Enhancement in how the Internet works has allowed websites to deliver a visual and immersive learning experience on a computer or mobile device, perfect for stimulating a student and encouraging learning.
At Dotsquares, we follow a modular approach to our E-Learning developments. Building out the core administration and delivery systems before moving on to complete individual learning modules, each with their own specific goals and objectives.
Dotsquares has extensive expertise in the education and E-Learning sectors and can bring that knowledge and experience to the development of advanced E-Learning systems for you. At Dotsquares we focus right down into the objectives of the system, ensuring that ease of use and the right content is used to enhance the experience and engage with the student and stimulate their desire to learn.
BENEFITS OF E-LEARNING

e-learning provides a single source of learning materials ensuring that the content delivered is identical for all learners and is of the highest possible quality.
Online e-learning courses are quick and easy to update across the board without needing to spend time and money organizing and distributing paper, CD or DVD based content and materials.
e-learning is reliable, dependable and accessible around the clock via an internet connection.
e-learning is easy to manage and control online via our Learner Management System (LMS).
One of the most obvious benefits is the potential to reduce costs associated with training and development of employees without the need of travel and accommodation for them at a centralized location. Because e-learning can be taken anytime, anywhere, it doesn’t interfere with critical operations of the employee.
e-learning is standardized: every learner has access to the same high quality instruction. e-learning eliminates the problems associated with different instructors teaching slightly different material on the same subject. This also ensures all learners receive a consistent message.
New e-learning for iPads and HTML5 means enabling your existing legacy e-learning content to be migrated to a tablet compatible format, and our solutions will help you in taking the first steps in an easy and a cost-effective way.
FEATURES OF E-LEARNING
There are several advantages with delivering your learning requirements in this way, not least the overall costs involved, but also that once developed, the system will be your own and we will transfer all intellectual property rights over to you.
SCALABLE & EFFICIENT – E-Learning enables you to quickly create and communicate new policies, training, ideas, and concepts. Online E-Learning sessions are especially easy to keep up-to-date because the updated materials are simply uploaded to a server and can be managed from anywhere using a bespoke admin system created to your specific requirements.
ACCESSIBILITY & TIME SAVING – E-Learning materials are accessible at any time from any place, meaning learning can fit around your existing daily schedule and eliminate any travel costs associated with classroom based training.
TRACKING LEARNING ACTIVITIES – Using a learning management system (LMS) makes it easy to track the students progress. We know that everyone learns at a different rate which is why we follow a modular approach, allowing modules covering familiar topics to be skipped so that you can concentrate on a less well known subject. Full tracking capabilities are built in to provide comprehensive reports for individuals, classes, subjects and modules.
EASY REFRESH OF CONTENT – Content can be refreshed easily though our Content Management System allowing course modules to be updated quickly with different subjects and linked back through the scoring and reporting modules.
CAPACITY & CONSISTENCY – Using E-Learning allows educators to achieve a great degree of coverage for their target audience, and it ensures that the message is communicated in a consistent fashion. This results in all learners receiving the same training.
