Schiphol partners in eFreight Online Academy
The efreight@nl project (a collaboration between Schiphol Cargo, Air Cargo Netherlands and other supply chain partners within the Schiphol cargo community) has taken a further step to promote the wider use of eFreight through Schiphol Airport, with the launch of the eFreight Online Academy.
The Academy is an innovative web-based learning tool that has been created to spread knowledge about eFreight throughout the Dutch air cargo community. Access to the Academy simply requires a PC with internet connection, sound and Flash player installed. All visitors must register to obtain a login code, in line with Dutch law.
The Academy content currently includes instructional videos on its use, and two learning modules (First steps in electronic messaging, and eFreight: what it is). There is also an online forum where users can start discussion threads, post questions and ideas, and receive comments and feedback from eFreight experts and other members of the community. The Academy’s content will be progressively expanded.
Says Schiphol Cargo’s Director of Business Development, Saskia van Pelt: “We are actively promoting the use of eFreight at Schiphol using a variety of methods. We believe the forum facility in the eFreight Academy will prove to be one of its most important elements, providing community members with a simple way of improving their subject knowledge.
“The forum will also enable the efreight@nl team to refine their future activities, by developing a better understanding of what the market thinks of the eFreight concept, and what concerns may exist about its implementation.”
The eFreight Online Academy is being developed by STOAS, one of the Netherlands’ foremost e-learning organisations.
