New e-learning platform adapts to individual needs

The College for Business
and Maritime Studies
(CBMS) has launched its
Stores and Stock Control
course on the new Adaptive
Learning and Knowledge
Retention Systems (ALS)
platform.
“The ALS platform is the
most advanced e-learning
system offered to date as it
not only allows students to
study at their own pace, but
adapts to their study needs
and their level of intellect,”
said Holger Schonfeld,
senior managing partner at
CBMS.
Because of this, students
absorb up to 60% more
knowledge using this
system. “Adaptive learning
will change each
individual student’s
learning pathway,
identifying knowledge
gaps and automatically
adapting the course
content to individual needs
using algorithms,” said
Schonfeld.
“We offer this 13-week
course at our college but
we have limited space
available. By offering it
on the ALS platform, we
can extend it to a far wider
audience,” said Schonfeld.
According to him, the
course – developed by
industry experts – is aimed
at students wanting to
extend their knowledge
on warehousing protocols,
procedures, and inventory
management.
“We provide globally
recognised qualifications
in accordance with the
International and National
Qualifications Framework
(NQF),” he added, pointing
out that CBMS is B-BBEEE
level 4-contributor status
further education training
facility for the international
trade, transport and
logistics industry.
