What is E-Learning?
Quite simply, e-learning is electronic learning, and typically this means using a computer to deliver part, or all of a course whether it’s in a school, corporate business training or a full distance learning course.
In the early days it received a bad press, as many people thought bringing computers into the classroom would remove that human element that some learners need, but as time has progressed technology has developed, and now we embrace smart phones and tablets in the classroom and office, as well as using a wealth of interactive designs that makes distance learning not only engaging for the users, but valuable as a learning delivery medium.
Building partnerships with quality open source virtual learning platforms, and combining this with a dedicated experienced technical team, BlueLink Technology provides the perfect blended e-learning platform, offering anyone the chance to take their on-line training to the next level.

MOODLE Features and Benefits
- It’s cost effective and saves time – By reducing the time taken away from the office, removing travel costs and doing away with printed materials, on-line learning helps you to save money and increase workplace productivity. It also means your staff will be happier and focused.
- Supports small or large organizations – From a few students to millions of users, Moodle can be scaled to support the needs of both small classes and large organizations. Because of its flexibility and scalability, Moodle has been adapted for use across education, business, non-profit, government, and community contexts.
- Robust, secure and private – Committed to safeguarding data security and user privacy, security controls are constantly being updated and implemented in Moodle development processes and software to protect against unauthorized access, data loss and misuse. Moodle can be easily deployed on a private secure cloud or server for complete control.
- Use any time, anywhere, on any device – Moodle is web-based and so can be accessed from anywhere in the world. With a default mobile-compatible (soon to be responsive) interface and cross-browser compatibility, content on the Moodle platform is easily accessible and consistent across different web browsers and devices.
- It makes tracking of course progress a breeze – Perhaps the most important aspect of using computers for learning/training is that it is easy to track and prove progress for your learners/trainees. This can be essential for our most popular courses where proof of mandatory training is required.
- All-in-one learning platform – Moodle provides the most flexible tool-set to support both blended learning and 100% online courses. Configure Moodle by enabling or disabling core features, and easily integrate everything needed for a course using its complete range of built-in features, including external collaborative tools such as forums, wikis, chats and blogs.
