Interactive, Synchronous, Distance Learning




DESCRIPTION:
It's here--The Internet and the Telephone have combined into a live, facilitated, interactive distance learning format--the Facilitated Online TeleClass. The complaints about self-paced Internet E-learning and Computer-Based Training have been heard. Feedback from these learners is often negative: "This course is boring!", "I want to have discussion around this topic!", "I can't seem to ever complete an on-line course!"
YOU GET A LIVE INSTRUCTOR IN REAL TIME:
The new Facilitated Online TeleClass format combines a skilled, professional workshop leader with a group of other distance learners through use of the telephone and the Internet. Softer skills, like communication, time mastery, change management, etc. can now be effectively delivered through a Facilitated Online TeleClass. A Facilitated Online TeleClass provides such things as group discussion, document exchange, pairs activities, paper/pencil activities, chat room activities, e-mail partnering--all those "connections" we like about traditional classroom learning. A Facilitated Online TeleClass is usually delivered in multiple one or two-hour learning segments, depending upon your learning objectives and your schedule.
DISTANCE LEARNING ANSWER:
We think learning by Facilitated Online TeleClass is the answer to groups of people who work together and are located at different sites, cities, and/or countries, and find it difficult to get together for a traditional classroom event. All it requires is a telephone, a computer and a compatible meeting time.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Separate telephone and Internet connections, Internet modem connection of 28.8 or higher, and Internet Explorer or Netscape browser.
