About Cogbooks

CogBooks is a unique learning platform because it is designed using modern learning theory and research. CogBooks solves many of the limitations and frustrations you experience with conventional e-Learning.

An on-line tutor

Conventional eLearning and learning management systems deliver learning like a dull lecturer - a fixed series of explanations and exercises, often followed by a test. How can you transform eLearning from a lecture into an engaging interactive tutor?

A good tutor:

• Allows the learner to follow their own unique path, tailoring learning to fit what they already know.
• Allows learners to take charge of their learning but provides instant support when they need it.
• Uses questions, tests and assessments to diagnose and solve learning issues - not to assess ability.

CogBooks provides the benefits of a personal tutor in an on-line learning platform

Simple Structure

Conventional eLearning is presented in fixed and separate modules. The contents of modules overlap with one another, causing wasted time and confusion.

CogBooks breaks knowledge down into much smaller chunks called concepts, and maps which concepts need to be learned before others.

• Learners navigate a universe of concepts, only working on relevant materials and always able to access supporting materials when needed.
• Learners can see the big picture by viewing the network of concepts in a concept map that acts as an invaluable learning aid.
• Learners can map and track their knowledge against the big picture.
  

Putting learning into action

In businesses and organizations, learning is of little value if it is not turned into action. CogBooks helps learners to activate their learning and overcome the hurdles to using new skills:

• Learning and job aids and tools are integrated - learners can access both the tools they need to apply their learning and the learning needed to use the tools.
• Team learning activities allow groups to practice skills and behaviors that must be used in social and group settings.
• Learners can access quick on-demand support while still building long term skills and knowledge in an integrated whole.
