ALISON, the
world’s leading free learning for the workplace website launched its new-look website
today. The website includes many new social networking features, faster
registration, a more intuitive study area and new free tools to make learning,
teaching or training on ALISON an even better experience than before.
Galway, Ireland – December 8th 2009
ALISON launched a new version of its website today that will enrich the
learning experience of learners in every country worldwide. Many of the
features now available were requested by our registered learners (ALISONIANS!)
across the world. The initial re-launch sees changes to the homepage and
courseware environment; and over the coming months the complete narrative of
the website will be revised as new services are added and refined.
Specific changes and additions to the ALISON service are as follows:
(i) You may now use your e-mail address as well as your username to access
ALISON (your password will remain the same!) (ii) There are now open Forums
relating to every course on the site and we encourage learners to create new
forums on topics of further interest to either themselves or other learners.
(iii) Beneath every page of learning, we include a comment box where helpful
comments and guides for other learners may be left. These commentaries will be
edited by trusted ALISONIAN volunteers across the world. (iv) You are not alone:
within every course you can now see how many people are currently online and
how many people are currently enrolled in that course.
In the coming weeks ALISON will be launching new courses in the English
language (British Council) and IT Literacy (Microsoft). Meanwhile if you have
courseware you would like to see hosted on ALISON, please let us know. Remember
too that teachers, trainers and HR Managers can manage their learner groups at
no cost using ALISON Manager, and ALISON will be announcing a new live tutor
service before the end of the year.
