The Learning Portal is a new website for the process industries, set-up by
the Institute of Chemical Engineers. It aims to be a one-stop shop for learning
resources and products from IChemE and other established providers.
Users can browse through the online catalogue of books, training packages
and courses and the material includes online streamed videos and tutor-led
training and management courses.
But it also features an e-learning component that allows users to study online.
"The aim is to allow continuing professional development to be fitted in
around busy work schedules," says IChemE’s director of e-mobilisation,
Dinesh Fernando.
"The ethos of the Learning Portal project is that learning for the
process industries becomes portable, affordable and that it adheres to IChemE’s
high standards."
The site can also be used to book conference places and arrange loans from
libraries.
