| Comprehensively tested with samples of professionals and managers in business, Crossknowledge educational philosophy is based on 7 fundamental principles. |
Principle n°1 : Spark learning pleasure 
| Without pleasure, there's no motivation. Without motivation, there's no learning. Crossknowledge does not work from the principle that learners will take a module because they have to do so, but because they want to do so. |

Priniciple n°2 : Provide an environment that is simple and adapted to users 
| The more that E-learning seeks to adapt to different learning styles and to different ways of handling information, the more complex the ergonomic structure appears to new users. On the other hand, the more you reduce the features of this tool, the less adaptable it will be to the multifaceted needs of users. At Crossknowledge we seek to respect a healthy equilibrium between these two extremes. |

Priniciple n°3 : Adapted to users 
| Many e-learning initiatives have failed because they require their users to adapt to the media employed. At Crossknowledge, the media adapt to our users. Professionals and managers consume a huge quantity of different media, especially audiovisual. They are naturally curious and tend to surf around these media. Our e-learning formats are inspired by radio and television. |

| What do you prefer when you are doing training? A lecturer who babbles on from behind the lectern, or someone who asks you good questions and helps you understand naturally what you have to know? Socrates showed us the power of the question and answer method as an educational tool. Most management courses these days rely on progressive sequences in which both technical and practical matters are discovered. |

Priniciple n°6 : Propose the correct timeframe 
| On-line training sessions available on the market generally last from between eight minutes to two hours. Crossknowledge has chosen a “granularity” based on 20 to 30 minutes of self-learning. Beyond 30 minutes, such training becomes difficult to fit into the day of professionals who, in any event, are usually already overburdened. |
read more Priniciple n°7 : Suggest without imposing 
| Dogmatism is hardly compatible when training adults. This is particularly true in management, a field in which there is no absolute truth and no model that is set in concrete for everyone. At Crossknowledge we are extremely careful about the way we discuss management. The techniques raised in the modules are suggested, not imposed. |
