Introduction

We all know that IT training is important but it is very expensive and usually means essential staff going off site to study a general skills course which may or may not cover the actual skills they need to do their job better. We have all seen staff return from a training course with a huge compendium which sits on the office shelf collecting dust, whilst many of the skills learnt remain unused and are forgotten by the time they are needed at some point in the future. This mode of training is inefficient and outmoded. The future of IT training and desktop support is through e-learning

What is it?

A Web based library of 70,000 fully animated and voiced over tutorials which can be downloaded in seconds on demand at the exact point of training need. For example, if a secretary needs to know how to filter a spreadsheet; organize their email folders; send a group email to all of your clients; or do just about anything on a computer; they simply click, sit back and watch a succinct tutorial which shows them exactly how to do it. If they want they can also print the instructions and watch the tutorial as many times as they want.

Web based learning vs. traditional offsite training

All education theory tells us that training is most effective when it is delivered in the context of a real problem, e.g at the time it occurs cutting out huge employee frustration; when provided in multi-media format; when packaged into small chunks of learning. Web based e-learning has all of these ingredients.
