Learnactive, Trydian Interactive`s web-based virtual campus, has launched two new online learning packages aimed at the Retirement Fund industry:
1. Retirement Fund Basics is fulfilling a pressing need in South Africa to educate fund members at all levels - and especially employee-elected trustees - on the basics of retirement funds.
2. Retirement Fund Trustee Training is aimed at training retirement fund trustees - especially employee-elected trustees - on their role and responsibilities.
These packages are definitely unique: they are aligned with SAQA unit standards and endorsed by INSETA - the insurance sector`s education and training authority. Retirement funds, fund members and trustees can therefore effectively use these packages to gain training credits. Retirement Fund Basics will earn a learner one credit on NQF level 1, while Retirement Fund Trustee Training will earn a learner a total of eight credits on NQF level 3.
Source material for the packages was created by the Institute for Retirement Funds (IRF) and the Insurance Institute of South Africa (IISA). E-learning development was done according to Learnactive`s outcomes-based education (OBE) instructional design methodology. The packages follow a non-linear learning approach and facilitate the building of a portfolio of evidence by the learner, which can be submitted directly to Learnactive for assessment.
