MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ”

Many of you in the process and manufacturing industries have invested heavily in CD-ROM courseware over the past decade. Today, in some ways, that investment seems limited in the face of e-Learning pressures. However, it need not be that way. You’re now able to come back and get a second round of heightened value from that initial investment.

With the new digital networking developments it now becomes possible to purchase digital networking platforms that allow you to play now-digitized CD-ROM content across a training-dedicated LAN.

If you choose to commit to that very affordable conversion you will find yourself possessing a markedly superior learning solution to almost anything e-Learning courseware can provide. And, that is because you will continue to bring full motion training to your workforce.

As we all know, full motion video, showing real plant environments with real plant personnel working on real plant equipment, provides the learner with the best user-controlled, interactive way to acquire new skills.

No longer are physical CD-ROMs required as the courseware has been digitized. Administrative data is now centralized and the reports are lightning quick for the same reason. If you elect, the data can then be readily transported to a SCORM compliant LMS.

Of course, a few of the advantages of e-Learning are not attainable, chiefly portal access from anywhere (inside or outside the firewall) at any time. But, in terms of the learning values imparted to your workforce, it’s going to be hard to beat digitized CD-ROM as a most effective training solution. And, the cost is more than competitive.
