CEPOL eLesson: Criminal use of social media

CEPOL launches eLessons: a new digital training and learning resource available in LEEd The EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training has released its first two eLessons, a new comprehensive digital training and learning resource designed to address emerging and current training needs of law enforcement officials. The eLessons are compact and easy-to-follow, covering current topics presented engagingly with a focus on practical applicability. Users learn individually, at their own pace, and in an explorative way. Trainers can embed eLessons in their formal training – be it as a requirement in national curricula or as a pre-course activity for CEPOL trainings. Students will obtain certificates and badges upon successful completion of the corresponding online tests. The job-aids embedded in eLessons ensure that the learners will more easily transfer the knowledge and skills learned into their every-day practice. All LEEd users can enrol to eLessons free of charge, without nomination by a CEPOL National Unit and study time.
