The iheed Online Learning Environment (OLE) is a next generation cloud-based platform for online education. Although state-of-the-art, the underlying platform is highly robust and is currently supporting over 1 million users worldwide.  Its advanced capabilities in supporting interactive case-based learning means that it is the ideal platform to provide practical real-world education for practicing clinicians and help them build up their clinical, professional and communication skills in patient consultation.

iheed provides highly visual (including 3D anatomical animations) and engaging content, and this helps students to retain more of what they have learnt. The training solution links to all content such as national guidelines, research papers, e-books, literature and other resources all in one place which greatly facilitates the busy frontline clinician as they cannot afford the time to go to the library or waste time roaming the Internet.

Access to expert tutors in real-time, along with discussion forums, helps build a network of learning, so experience is shared across the whole student population. In addition, frequent and regular interaction with the tutor through our powerful integrated web-conferencing system helps students progress quickly and feel supported through every step of their qualification.

The iheed OLE also offers a number of features aimed at tutors and administrators, such as rubrics, SpeedgraderTM and TurnitinTM to support tutors in reviewing and grading student assignments, extensive reporting and analytics, targeted messaging, and various views that enable tutors to identify students that are not keeping up with the instruction or meeting pre-defined learning thresholds.

The iheed OLE is designed to be flexible to meet the specific needs of our customers and partners, including customizable branding, resource links and reporting.  Iheed also offers the ability to integrate the OLE with the corporate website and other potentially relevant IT systems, such as an online payments system, of our clients and partners.
