When you stop and think about it, what everyone could use right about now is better training in mission-critical, life-changing areas that could significantly improve personal success and overall organizational productivity. Regardless of whether you work in the public sector or private sector, the obstacles to better training in the past, however, have been the quality, the time it takes, and all the related costs involved which explains why better more cost-effective training just hasn't happened.

New World Communications with the help of more affordable "next-generation" web-based learning technology, however, is beginning to change all that in a new world 21st century way that promises to move the whole world forward this time around in a more qualitative and cost-effective direction. So there's potentially a lot here in this for you too!



This is an actual screen shot of an online demonstration course we just developed using OnpointDigital's new web-based Onpoint Learning Suite on www.onpointdigital.com. The system and the support from these good folks has been great. Course content can also be optionally "burned" on CD's and DVD's too for added convenience.

Actually the use of television and the web for distance learning is not new. Public television stations started this way more than fifty years ago, and colleges, universities, and larger businesses have been using first-generation web-based learning systems, with closed source, proprietary code for several years now. The problem with broadcast instructional television, "older think" web learning technology, and generic third-party web curricula, however has been the continuing decline in programming quality, higher-education's bureaucracy and scheduling system, and all the related and incidental costs involved.

Broadcast television, cable television, and distance learning up until now have remained pretty much controlled by a increasingly smaller and smaller instructional media elite and higher educational institutional course delivery infrastructure that has historically called all the shots, made the rules and set the price. If people and organizations wanted to access and use this stuff, they literally had to "go with the program" if they bought it at all.


What has changed now. however, is much more affordable, more flexible, open-ended technology that even smaller organizations can wrap themselves around. Now, with this "next generation" technology and the right help, even individual people and smaller organizations can afford to do distance learning better and more cost-effectively themselves....and within tighter mission-critical timeframes too!

With the right help, people and organizations can move forward designing their own curricula, shooting their own low-cost digital video content, editing the programming on the desktop, uploading it to a web site and "web-casting" it themselves. The new low-cost learning management system is right there too to help you manage and deliver the course content, assess the learning and quality-control course development with online quizzes and survey tools, and administer an entire online curriculum across the enterprise to user/learners online yourself! You'd also be amazed to learn how fast you'll be able to get up and running with this stuff, even in spite of coping with some minor technical start-up issues.

It's like having your own broadcast station/cable channel and online learning institution all wrapped up into one, but without the associated cost or the hassle. In fact, its actually better, because the business model is different and the curriculum can be tailor-fit to the specific needs of your organization very cost-effectively. The video can be clicked and watched "on-demand" instead of just watching it from a broadcast or cable station "playlist" or high ed online learning set up that people and smaller organizations in the past have historically had little control over.

Even with more intelligent and affordable approaches such as this, it's possible to produce online content of quality. That's where we think we can be of assistance and recently have moved forward ourselves with the development of concrete real-world examples. If you'd like to take a "test drive" yourself and would like to know more about our services, the technology and our affordable e-learning solutions, please contact us at: 425-844-8908 if we can be of any more immediate assistance.
