  Let’s face it: we’re in a very rushed and stressed world these days. If you feel a lot of the time that you’re constantly “swept off your feet”, trying to “firefight” immediate on-the-job problems instead of building your knowledge and skills for a more distant future, you will be far from alone. So, what can you do about that? After all, we all have finite amounts of time and energy, and certain things in our day-to-day roles – whatever sector we may be in – simply need to get done . At this point, allow us to suggest a possible remedy: bite-size learning .

Having said that, a lot has happened for transport and logistics businesses in the UK since the onset of the 2020s, that has had little or nothing to do with the pandemic. UK supply chains have had to adapt, for instance, to the country’s depar...

  In today’s deeply interconnected, seemingly permanently online world, there are so many different terms to discover and learn about, not to mention those dratted initialisms and acronyms that might have you constantly rushing to Google to look up what they are.

So, here at myAko, allow us to be your guest… ‍ An essential tool for taking the stress out of managing eLearning The short answer to the question of “what is a Learning Management System?” is that it is a software tool of one kind or another – either web-based, or in the form of a separate software application – that allows for creating, delivering, and reporting on training courses. LMS platforms are closely linked to eLearning, which is a form of learning or instruction that takes place via digital or electronic means (the obvious “means” in today’s world being...
