E-LEARNING and DISTANCE LEARNING
Pearson Edexcel have introduced a fully interactive
e-learning solution for the core units of the HNC in
Business. This includes progress tests with instant
feedback, discussion forums to enable you to
communicate with other HNC in Business learners at
ETC, an interactive e-book, learning materials,
PowerPoint slides, and video content. The specialist
units have been designed by ETC. These include more
interaction with tutors via webinars, e-mails and Skype.
The learning resources can be accessed via a dedicated
login to our virtual learning environment (Moodle). This
is a combination of distance learning and e-learning.

small group classroom sessions to consolidate their

seminars and tutorials. The classroom sessions will be
arranged by mutual agreement at a time that is
convenient to group of students.

This programme will be assessed using written
assignments, reports and preparation of presentations
and handouts for an intended audience. Students will
