Star Refrigeration has launched the beta version of its re-branded global e-learning platform i-Know.com, previously known as elearning-training.com.
Available through www.i-know.com, the new system provides members with 'a more social learning experience', the company says.
The site offers the HVACR industry a wide range of information on cooling and heating, ranging from engineering technical information, safety guidelines, manufacturers' product specifications and system reviews, including recommendations guides for end-user. The beta release includes a redesigned interface, the ability to learn from a variety of CPD certified eCourses, City & Guilds qualifications and a library resource.
The improved eLearning platform encourages a more informal learning approach using social tools that allow the transfer of expert knowledge and experiences within the varied members of the community, ranging from practitioners, contractors, educationalists, experts and end-users to manufacturers and suppliers of rac equipment.
The I-know.com platform takes account of the more casual and social aspects of learning, where users can study individually but also by talking to others, sharing their experiences and networking with other people within the learning community with the same interest in refrigeration and heating. An added feature is the ability to communicate with an expert from Star to offer an opinion or solution to any technical issues within the community.
The Learning platform, including the Library and eCourses in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Fundamentals, is freely available at
