CarriersEdge, a provider of online driver training for the trucking industry, recently launched Learning Bytes, a new series of interactive driver training modules designed for situations where fleets need to address a specific skill or reinforce previous training without assigning a complete course.
Each module can be completed in less than 10 minutes while still providing interactive learning and knowledge checks, giving fleets a short-form training option without relying on passive video.
“Not every situation calls for a full-length course, but fleets should not have to sacrifice quality for brevity,” said Jane Jazrawy, CEO, CarriersEdge. “Learning Bytes gives fleets that option without giving up the interaction and accountability good online training requires.”
The initial launch of Learning Bytes will include 34 Bytes in English and 20 in French, with course Bytes in Spanish coming soon. More Bytes will be added to support the entire CarriersEdge course catalog.
Learning Bytes give fleets a flexible way to deliver targeted training when a full course isn’t necessary. Examples include:
- A driver has a specific dashcam event - Assign targeted reinforcement related to the behavior.
- A fleet identifies a recurring seasonal issue – Use a Byte to provide a quick refresher on relevant driving or safety practices before conditions change.
- A safety manager holds a driver meeting - Use a Byte to introduce a topic and give drivers a starting point for a discussion.
- A driver previously completed a full training course – Assign a Byte to reinforce a key concept without requiring the driver to repeat the entire course.
