Global online learning leader ALISON.com announced today a very successful launch to its newest online learning aid – a facility to allow students to write notes as they study interactively online. Over a quarter of a million notes were written in the first month after launch. The new feature can be found at the bottom of each course module lesson and is simple to use. Simply register for a course and the box will feature below the courses screen on the left hand side of the revised ALISON interface.
Commenting on the response to the new learning tool ALISON’s Communications Manager Tracy Hadnett stated that, "ALISON developed the notes tool in response to suggestions from our learners and training professionals using the site. User feedback is extremely important to us. We are always looking for ideas on how to improve our systems to ensure that our learners are at the centre of everything we do.
"In early March, ALISON launched a BETA of its new look website alison.com which has improved navigation and the learning experience for our learners. Additional study aids such as this notes tool will only further enhance the overall free learning experience for our students worldwide. When used effectively it should help students to reduce study time and increase retention of knowledge and skill development."
