SkillBites currently offers over 200 programmes, called eBriefings. Each ebriefing has been divided into modules of learning called ‘Bites’. Each Bite contains up to 20 minutes of learning.

Most e-learning systems work on ‘pull’ technology, which means that users must go online to visit the providers website to carryout their learning. They may have to do this at very specific times for lengthy periods. For most people this is difficult due to important or unforeseen work pressures.

The SkillBites platform uses ‘push’ technology, which means that the learning comes to the learner. SkillBites will email registered learners daily learning Bites from e-briefings they have subscribed to, enabling them to choose where and when they learn.

If learners want to complete an entire ebriefing in one go they can do so by visiting the SkillBites site and either work through the programme online or print off the Bites to complete later. The choice is theirs.

Each ebriefing contains study links to further information, which supports and builds on the learning available on the e-briefings.

Each ebriefing also contains at least one quiz / test which enables registered users to test their learning. SkillBites also records the results of the quiz / test and informs the user which Bite/s they should revisit.

Unlike most e-learning systems where client companies have to pay for each programme individually, the content on the SkillBites system is available to all registered users for the duration of the licence.

Subjects

Currently each of the e-briefings are contained within 9 faculty headings which are:

Communicating Managing Yourself Managing Others
Managing Business Health & Safety Sales & Marketing
IT HR & Training Finance.

When you purchase a license for your own branded system then these faculties can be renamed, removed, condensed or completely new faculties added by those with controller’s access.

Future Content

In addition to the current resource library available on SkillBites, any new content developed by Progress for the above faculties, within the SkillBites SBS system will automatically be offered to Corporate Solution Users at no additional cost. It will then be the decision of the site controller whether or not the material should be added to their system.

Any content that is designed specifically for Corporate Solution Users will only be available to those who have authorised access to that system.
