WELCOMING TEXAS INSTRUMENTS AS A NEW CLIENT
ALC recently customized LearnTech® ESD training for
deployment via web across the semiconductor division of Texas Instruments.
We expect that upwards of 5000 employees will receive this training by
2006.
WELCOMING HOWARD SOMMERFELD TO THE ALC STAFF
We are very pleased to welcome Howard Sommerfeld to
the ALC team as Director, Product Development. Howard brings an extensive
background in electronics manufacturing that includes training management
experience with major telecom manufacturers. Howard has been responsible
for design and development of major CBT, WBT, and distance e-Learning
initiatives, and has a depth of understanding of manufacturing and training
management issues.
BLENDED LEARNING
There is an increasing interest and concern for the development
of blended learning approaches that ensure learning transfer from training
events to workplace performance.
Howard and staff have developed some blended exercises
to accompany the Workplace Hazardous Materials course. This is currently
being piloted at Dy-4 Systems, a division of Solectron.
ROI
Most managers are keenly interested in training evaluation
including measurable return on investment. Howard has developed an ROI
calculation tool that could prove very helpful to your company if you
are struggling with issues related to transitioning to e-learning or blended
solutions.
To receive your FREE ROI
tool, to discuss ROI for your personal situation, to discuss blended learning,
or to express your interest in participating in a FREE seminar on ROI
with e-learning, contact Howard at: hsommerfeld@automatedlearning.com.
