Why Argo

Technologies are changing rapidly and constantly

Technology is becoming increasingly abstract, making many subjects difficult to explain without the visual aid of animations or simulations. This has been a driving factor of Argo e-learning development: to understand the invisible and abstract, not to memorize texts.

As a result of the rapidly changing automotive technologies, there is an enormous demand to be up-to-date with the latest developments. Whether it is regarding hybrid technology, brake systems or CAN-bus, Argo is constantly updated with the latest technological developments.

Traditional teaching materials are out of date and passive

Teaching has evolved in recent years to where the managing of courses and educational processes has become a key element of the work. Traditional teaching materials still only support the old serial process where the teacher was giving "one-man performances".

Today's teaching involves letting students work independently and on different subjects. Teaching often involves personal coaching where necessary. This makes it essential to understand where individual students need extra help. Argo tracks each student's progress and shows the time taken, allowing teachers to coach the students when they struggle.

Bridging the theoretical and the practical

Teachers, trainers and students around the world all tell us the same thing:

• traditional teaching materials all appear in print, cd or video format
• traditional teaching materials are out of date as soon as they are produced
• traditional teaching materials are never interactive
• traditional teaching materials are rarely stimulating
• traditional teaching materials are expensive

In short, there is too much of gap between what is viewed or read in traditional teaching materials and what is seen under the hood. Argo has been designed to merge the theoretical and the practical to remove the divide left by traditional teaching materials.

Online only, always updated

In order to be both interactive and completely updated, Argo is only available online. This allows us to constantly add new lessons and updates to existing lessons as the new technologies require. This ensures that the teachers' material is as current as it could be. Since thousands of teachers from around the world can contact us directly through Argo, a global working group has been created. We make corrections and improvements on a daily basis as result of the input from all these teachers.

Based on gaming, Argo makes learning fun

Today's 21st century students don't want to lean back and just passively watch or read something. This generation wants to grab the controls, meters and tools and get going. That's why Argo takes the game-like and interactive approach so that they can "learn by doing". Many students use an intuitive approach where they simply get started and only refer to texts and manuals once they run into difficulties.

Save money

In the spirit of Electude's mission of making vocational education accessible and affordable for all, we have chosen to price Argo at extremely competitive rates. Instead of spending your budget on expensive textbooks, manuals and videos which quickly become outdated, save money per student and give them more content which is always up to date.
