Astutis StudySmart™ Explained

Digital training has become the go-to for a lot of people. More and more individuals and organisations are moving away from traditional classrooms in favour of online learning. The pandemic obviously played a big part in that shift, but the reasons people stick with it now are more practical; it's flexible, convenient, and fits around busy schedules.

But with so many digital courses out there, how do you make sure you're actually getting a good one? Astutis Technical Director Brenig Moore recently shared his thoughts on getting the most out of virtual training, which is well worth a read. But what about the wider digital learning experience? How do you make sure the platform itself is actually helping you learn?

That's where Astutis StudySmart™ comes in.

Let's walk you through what StudySmart™ offers and how it's designed to support your learning and get the most out of your course.

What Is Astutis StudySmart™?

Astutis StudySmart™ is an extension to our Virtual learning platform or learning management system (LMS) that learners use to study. StudySmart™ is an Astutis exclusive NEBOSH General Certificate supplement that embraces the technology at our disposal and gifts learners a rewarding user-centric experience that enriches learning. 

At the time of publication, Astutis StudySmart™ is only available with the Virtual NEBOSH National General Certificate course.

With Astutis StudySmart™, learners have access to;

• Course Resources - Including course notes and a LinkedIn community to connect with fellow learners. 
• Element Challenges - To test your understanding as you go through digital challenges.
• Assessment Preparation - Revision Activities and video guides to help you feel ready, not just hopeful.
  
• Learning Checks - Acting as element testers. Learners will have their knowledge tested at the end of every element or unit. In no way do Learning Checks contribute to any final mark; they are designed to ensure learners are ready to move on at the right time.
• Astutis StudySmart™ also includes Webinar recordings. Learners will have unlimited access to exam preparation webinars, unit roundups or a broader syllabus webinar. 
• We also encourage learners to use all the resources available; this includes the incredible number of Online Activities Astutis StudySmart™ has to offer. These proactive tasks maximise information retention, allowing learners to simulate their learning in real-time. 
• Podcasts are a resource we are only just introducing into Astutis StudySmart™ technology. They offer an alternative to the visual nature of the course and provide a broadened summation. More and more audio supplements will be added to our course catalogue as time goes on. 

Astutis StudySmart™ is the culmination of years of design research and learner theory enhancement, shaping the best training experience possible.

The truly exciting thing is that we are constantly adding to the Astutis StudySmart™ feature list. Our ambition is always to create engaging and immersive training without jeopardising our learners' success. This is why we design Astutis StudySmart™ with ExamSmart™ features fully integrated.
