A LeaderQuest Knowledge Center is a value-priced alternative to gaining knowledge in a specific area like Visual Basic, Project Management, SharePoint or Cisco.

 

 

A Knowledge Center is a user-friendly learning portal that provides learners instant access to trusted, targeted content. Each Knowledge Center includes material specifically chosen to help learners build knowledge around a topic as quickly and efficiently as possible.  This graphic depicts a Visual Basic Knowledge Center.

 

 

Knowledge Centers that are specifically designed for IT developers include a range of structured practical coding opportunities that allow software developers to develop and hone new programming skills before applying them on the job. The Project Center offers an extensive program of integrated projects that challenge developers to use their programming and design skills to solve practical business problems. Each project is comprised of a series of related coding tasks that build on one another to form a robust business application. Targeted feedback will help developers learn to interpret coding errors and direct them to detailed reference information for further support. Additionally, Practice Labs offer an accelerated learning experience, suitable for students who are refreshing their skills or supplementing other training.

 

 

There is a Knowledge Center for just about any business or topic. Because of their targeted nature, Knowledge Centers are an ideal solution to position at the department level to line-of-business managers outside our traditional targets of learning, HR and IT.

   

The following are some of the LeaderQuest "tools" that would be part of a Knowledge Center:

  • Books24x7 online library for your selected topic
  • Access to LeaderQuest courseware organized into Learning Roadmaps that make it easy for learners to locate and use the most appropriate courses for their needs
  • Simulations (through SkillSims practice labs)
  • Expert mentoring services
  • Featured topic spotlights, refreshed regularly, to provide an in-depth focus on particular topical areas

 

The benefits of using Knowledge Centers are:

  • Knowledge Centers help you deliver targeted learning resources that your professionals can access quickly and effectively
  • Knowledge Centers allow learners to access a diverse array of information, including articles, courses and online books with a focus on practice and engagement on a specific topic- specifically chosen by experts to facilitate learning
