1. Templates, Reusability, Future-Proofing, and the Technology Side of Rapid e-Learning.

Are you building today’s e-Learning with yesterdays approach to development? In an era when business demands speedy response, every producer of e-Learning must ask that question. Many of the best answers come from our colleagues in software development, and we would do well to adopt some of those methods. In this article, a seasoned developer discusses templates, skinning, and future-proofing in terms of what they offer e-Learning designers and developers.

5. Is your ESD training targeted to specific employee groups?

To discover how easily you can accomplish this, visit www.automatedlearning.com/products/esd_index.cfm for information on five different courses in English as well as select second language variations. What additional courses and language variants are needed in your application?


6. Picture those solder joints.

Bob Willis, world-renowned soldering expert, has developed an extensive library of electronic assembly soldering photographs. These are available on CD-ROM, and are an essential resource for process engineers and trainers for illustration of soldering concepts. ALC is pleased to make Bob’s well-known soldering photo albums available for secure on-line purchase. For more information:

7. Standardized your health and safety training and testing.

Save time. Save money. Save the headache of repeating the same message over and over while introducing unintended variations in what is actually taught. Let the computer teach and test the basics of WHMIS, MSDS, laser safety or ergonomics to your workforce. Using complementary checklists as a guideline, your supervisors can blend on-site activities to localize the learning. It’s standardized, easy to execute, flexible, and ISO friendly.

These courses are part of the same LearnTech suites you use for ESD, Lean, or lead-free training. Check out the Safety section at: www.automatedlearning.com/products/health_index.cfm


8. Have you considered e-sourcing via reverse auction?

Is your management continuously searching for ways and means to improve efficiency using technology? Are you too familiar with the two common roadblocks that often accompany new technology: namely, time and cost of implementation?

Properly managed reverse auction to the rescue: ALC has partnered with Buyweb to offer web-enabled eSourcing on Demand. Purchasing managers can apply eRFI, eRFP, eRFQ, and reverse eAuction technologies to reduce time and cost, and improve strategic sourcing performance. Access more information or register for an e-Auction Simulation Webinar.
