LearnKey Launches OnlineExpert™ Web-based E-Learning Platform
Comprehensive e-learning delivery and courseware solution on the Web
(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 01, 2001 ) ST. GEORGE, Utah – LearnKey, Inc., premier provider of e-learning technology, delivery platforms and course content, today announced the market launch of Online Expert,™ a Web-based e-learning platform that delivers instruction via streaming video to the Web browser window of users.
Online Expert combines the benefits of traditional classroom instruction with the flexibility of e-learning. The platform incorporates skills assessments, instruction from experts, interactive lab exercises, e-mentoring, peer collaboration, proficiency evaluations, study planning and resource libraries in a comprehensive, easy to use e-learning solution.
Users just navigate to www.onlineexpert.com and enter their user name and password. Individual customers can choose courses from the Online Expert catalog, while those who work for a corporate client open the course(s) assigned by their organization’s administrator and begin learning. Users can learn new skills anytime – at their desks during downtime, at home in the evening or on weekends, from a hotel room on the road.
Online Expert is designed for organizations that need to train groups and individuals in specific skills quickly, with verifiable learning results and measurable return on investment. The platform helps organizations upgrade workforce skills and increase productivity while reducing training costs, travel expenditures and work time missed due to training.
Employees are motivated to learn new business, information technology, and interpersonal skills through engaging, dynamic video instruction over the Web. Because Online Expert is a hosted solution, there is no additional hardware or software for IT departments to install and maintain.
Online Expert is unlike static e-learning systems based on slide presentations. Users don’t need to keep clicking on a button to change pages. There’s no actor’s voice-over reading of text that already appears on screen. Instead, users see and hear recognized and respected authors, lecturers and trainers who teach subjects based on their experience and expert knowledge.
The technological foundation beneath Online Expert combines RealNetworks video and audio streaming, LearnKey’s own RealCBT content creation technology and a state-of-the-art network of distributed servers, called Media Points, placed at strategic Internet junctions across the country and around the world.
That foundation functions invisibly to users, and to training directors or other administrators who use the Online Expert learning management system to review users’ course registrations, assign course access privileges, track users’ study activity and monitor progress toward course completion.
“With Online Expert, LearnKey has achieved a monumental goal -- to present customers the same media-rich e-learning experience over the Internet that they have when playing a LearnKey CD from the desktop,” said Dave Clemons, LearnKey president. “We have developed a state-of-the-art network of media servers to deliver award-winning training content and services like e-mentoring and student-to-student collaboration. It’s a world-class e-learning platform that provides a scalable, flexible solution for enterprises of any size.”
