'Blended' Approach Helpful For Ab-Initio Students
Jeppesen announced Tuesday a new partnership with
multimedia-based training systems provider infoWERK to launch 11
web-based course modules for ATPL training.
The new Jeppesen multi-media courseware will add to the existing
ATPL product portfolio and includes Air Law, Airframes &
Systems, Principles of Flight, Instrumentation, Flight Planning,
Performance, Mass and Balance, Human Performance and Limitations,
Operational Procedures, General Navigation and Meteorology. The
first eleven courses, scheduled to be released by the second
quarter of 2009, begin what will become an expanded partnership
with infoWERK for future courses.
"The new online training courses allow flight training
organizations to improve efficiencies in a variety of areas from
student engagement and staff prioritization to financials and
differentiation," said Tobias Baesch, Jeppesen product manager.
"Our joint products are true computer-aided learning programs
developed using state of the art instructional design principles
for maximum effectiveness and student retention."
Jeppesen says each module is designed to a "blended" learning
approach.
The content, presented in clear and concise terms, incorporates
a logical sequence and a multitude of visualizations and animations
in order to promote the capture of complex relationships, which is
especially helpful for ab-initio aviation students, and those with
international backgrounds.
