Ela: Your Expert Learning Assistant

 The future belongs to organizations that master and apply new skills at pace. That demands effective learning, and for learners, a great tutor can make all the difference.

While our human tutors are the best there is – we also like to let them sleep. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Ela, our digital expert learning assistant – a cutting-edge AI buddy who can be with our learners 24 hours a day. It’s the next big star in transforming the self-paced learning experience.

Course Advisor

Ela is more than a learning assistant. It’s also your guide to upskilling.

Ela: Course Advisor adds a new layer of support by helping learners decide what to learn and where to start. Many learners arrive on the platform without content assigned to them, or a clear idea of what content is right for them. This can make the first step feel overwhelming. Course Advisor solves that by:

1. Asking learners about their goals, 
2. Clarifying what they want to achieve,
3. Instantly generating a personalized learning plan.

Learners receive a tailored, hybrid path made up of courses, labs, and lessons. They can refine the plan, ask follow-up questions, and self-enroll once they are ready; it’s independence, underpinned by expert guidance.

This gives every learner a confident starting point, reduces time spent searching, and turns platform visits into meaningful progression – especially for learners at a low engagement level who may need help resetting or refreshing their goals.

Course Advisor works alongside Ela’s existing Course Tutor support, meaning learners now get expert learning assistance from the moment they arrive on the platform all the way through to applying new skills.
