e-LEARNING

What does ed. include?

ed. is split into two main product areas, ed.LEARN and ed.ASSESS. ed.LEARN provides users studying for a specific exam subject with an on-line interactive e-learning course for revision purposes. Each e-learning course contains a tutorial and revision test.

ed.ASSESS is a comprehensive range of training and assessment tools to keep you up to date with regulatory, legislative and market changes to demonstrate compliance with regulator's T & C rules. There are four versions of ASSESS available:

• insurance,ASSESS
• financial ASSESS
• mortgage ASSESS
• broker ASSESS

The main components of the ASSESS products are interactive 'essentials' tutorials, technical key facts, and a comprehensive knowledge assessment system.

What is the difference between e-learning and e-learning plus?

The e-learning plus option includes an on-line copy of the coursebook in a PDF format.

I've forgotten my password, what do I do?

There is a facility on the site for you to have your password details sent to you. This is on the site home page and you will be required to enter either your username or e-mail address. If you do not have these or are still experiencing problems you should go to the contact.ed link from the site home page http://www.ed.cii.co.uk/global/forgotPassword.asp.

Does e-learning replace the study text?

No. The study text is still the main source of learning which provides the required for the examinations so should be the minimum that you use for studying. The e-learning courses are classed as an additional study aid, in the same respect as key fact cards. They cover the key points of the syllabus and present them in an interactive, motivational environment.

What is the difference between ed.LEARN and a CD rom?

E-learning CD roms contain the same interactive tutorials that can be found on ed.LEARN, the only difference being that this is delivered on a CD.

Obviously the CD delivery has limitations: progress is not tracked and recorded, it does not include access to the online L&D log or any of the other ed. Features and is not updated after purchase.

Also the features of the revision assessment will vary. The online, ed., feedback given on completion is more substantial and detailed.

How long will an ed.LEARN enrolment last for?

It will be valid for 12 months from the date of enrolment.
