Online training provider announces further five-figure tech investment
A Selby-based online training provider has invested a further £25,000 into its app development and launch, while launching its Augmented Reality (AR) learning division.
The Skills Network (TSN) has launched the AR learning experience with the announcement of new smartphone application.
TSN has invested £25,000 into the first phase of the app’s development and launch. This is in addition to the £70,000 it spent on the development of its EQUAL learning system in 2018/2019. The firm has invested over £2.5m into EQUAL since its initial development in 2011.
TSN specialises in delivering distance learning courses in subject areas including mental health, childcare, health and social care, business and financial training.
The new ‘EQUAL App’ marks the latest technological advancement in TSN’s online learning portfolio, with a provision that benefits over 35,000 students, 46 UK colleges and 6,000 businesses annually.
The smartphone application enables ‘mobile learning’ and is an extension of TSN’s online learning environment ‘EQUAL’, which is accessed by 900,000 users globally to study online learning content and attain new qualifications.
Claire Conlaund, Managing Director at The Skills Network, said: “At TSN, we’ve long been proud to be known as a technical innovator in the world of e-learning, not only in advancements of our online learning platform, but also with continued expansion of our cutting edge course portfolio – leading the way with online qualifications in areas such as mental health, which has benefited over 17,000 people in the last year.
“We believe that this is the first AR learning app among the training provider sector with regard to distance learning qualifications, and we are really proud to be releasing such an engaging product to our learners and the FE market in general.”
