Online education or e-learning is become an increasingly attractive and popular method of training and education both among the general public and within businesses.
In addition to our range of cross cultural courses, we also provide online intercultural / cross cultural training for businesses.
Our online cultural training uses ArgonoutT as the foundation block upon which we add our own in-house systems and processes. ArganoutT has been developed with the needs of international businesses in mind, offering expatriates, managers, HR personnel, international teams and global business travellers with access to a range of online tools and resources, helping raise intercultural awareness.
ArgonoutT uses a number of online tools which are designed to analyse and highlight cultural differences in working practices and communication styles. It follows the following unique features:
Self-analysis assessment tool - provides gap analysis between user's and target culture
Online exercises - under the supervision and guidance of a mentor the user partakes in learning simulations
Resources - access to a wealth of online information covering a range of cross cultural issues
User Participation - use of an interactive forum to discuss questions and concerns
Working with the ArgonoutT tool we incorporate our own input, resources, skills and know-how to ensure the online cultural awareness course focuses on those areas you deem important.
As add-ons we also provide:
Mentors - a cross cultural expert is allocated to an individual/group to ensure users navigate the online tools appropriately, provide a needs analysis, coach the users through their specific requirements and act as a point of contact for general questions.
Resources - we supply our own information to complement that already available at ArgonoutT either expanding upon information or providing more specific insights.
One-to-One time - through internet technology users have virtual access to mentors through webcams.
The aim of our online cultural awareness training is to help people use cultural differences as a positive vehicle towards greater business success as opposed to these becoming an obstacle.
