The description from their
website states, “Academy Bridge has thousands of learning modules covering all
business subjects. The content
originates from leading business schools, universities, and corporations. Everyone can benefit from this free
on-line educational resource.”
The reason I chose this
site is because I was very impressed with the amount of information that is
provided and the number of subjects it covers. The information is relayed to the learner through video and
each video is equipped with a comment section below it where students can
engage in discussions about each topic.
There are also different levels of information. The site suggests that students start
with the 24 hour business school and then move to the next level. Here is the information from the site
on each level:
24h Business
School In 24 hours of viewing the Academy Bridge user
community can get all the information needed to begin their business education.
Most content items are 5 minutes long. All important business topics are
covered. When viewing the 24h Business School content, it is recommend that you
watch videos in the order they are presented. Bringing your cursor over
individual video titles allows you to see the content of that video (pop-up
box).

Academy Welcome to the Academy. A large share of Academy
content originates from the world’s leading business schools. The depth and
detail of content goes beyond just delivering quality information. The Academy
supports knowledge accumulation. Knowledge is the last step before achieving
mastery (Master Class). The Academy will require from you much more
perspiration in comparison to 24h Business School. “Success is 10 percent
inspiration and 90 percent perspiration” ~Thomas Edison (Thinkexist.com).

‘Understanding business’ was the goal when designing
Master Class. Depth and detail are provided primarily in a lecture format.
Master Class content originates mostly from the world’s leading business
schools and Universities. Master Class course quality is enhanced through the
use of virtual textbooks. The majority of content in Master Class is in the
form of academic lectures, however, because we have not identified lecture
series for every topic you will occasionally be viewing a compilation of videos
within a section (Social issues).

In each section there is
literally hundreds of videos that cover the following subjects: sustainability/responsibility,
innovation, marketing, economics, finance/accounting, organization/ethics,
leadership/management, entrepreneurship, international business, strategy,
technology, law, business history and biographies. Students can choose to view any section or all sections
depending on what they would like to focus on.
In addition to the
educational videos, the site also has two more sections called my development
and food for thought.
My Development is the ‘coach’ for all Academy Bridge
community members. Self-improvement and the realization of each community
member’s dreams is the ultimate goal. However, My Development also recognizes
everyone’s duty to support the development of others.

All Academy Bridge community members can benefit
from ‘out of the box thinking’. Food for Thought provides the mental stimulus
to look beyond a problem or challenge and discover new meaning. Food for
Thought also reminds us of our obligations to others.

This site has literally
covered all aspects of the business world. As an educator, I would definitely use this site as an
enhancement to the subject matter I am using in class. The videos can be used to help students
get a deeper understanding of the business world that may not be covered in
textbooks. Also, I would have my
students use the my development and food for thought sections to explore topics
that they may have never thought related to the business world but actually
do. These videos would be a great
addition to the classroom and could easily be used to for group discussions or
journal entries.
This link actually connects
to a blog written by Christopher Pappas.
The reason I chose it is because Christopher has written this particular
blog about free educational technologies for teachers. I liked it because he has listed 8
different links that connect to www.eLearningindustry.com.
These links include guides for teachers and how they can effectively use Twitter,
Facebook, Pinterest, gamification, keeping students safe online, Flipped
Classroom, blogs and Wiki. The
guides are very helpful and show teachers how they can use each of these ideas
in their classroom.
Considering that I plan to teach
online courses, I think these guides will be a great addition to my
classroom. My grant project focus
has been on gamification, so I would definitely use the gamification guide to
help come up with different gaming ideas for my students. In addition, I would like to
incorporate the use of Twitter and Facebook as means of enhancing the distance
learning aspect of my classroom. The
Twitter guide alone includes 15 different ways to use Twitter in the classroom
as well as 17 videos on how teachers can use Twitter. These 8 links
along with the various other tools on elearningindustry.com have great
potential for helping teachers enhance adult learning.
