Interviews with Digital Media Thought Leaders
Distance Learning Over the Internet
Podcast Video | Posted by Phil Leigh on August 30, 2007
If you would like to learn how Internet videos can be used for distance learning, this interview is for you.
Our guest today is Ken Cooper who is a partner with EJ4 which is a provider of Internet-accessible video training. Your employees, dealers, and other associates in need of training can watch the videos whenever is convenient to them, including on computers as well as mobile devices such as iPods and Palm Treos. Moreover, they can also watch them repeatedly, until they have mastered the required material.
Often new product introductions require fresh sales training. Traditionally, such training has involved gathering all key salespeople in a single location to participate in lengthy training sessions. Commonly the practice requires a lot of expense to transport the selected employees to the desired location. Frequently, it is also necessary to provide them with lodging as well.
Internet-based video can provide a less expensive alternative that is in some ways even more effective. Employees can view the instructional videos whenever is convenient to them. They can view them repeatedly, until they have learned the required material. They can even view them on mobile devices just before an important sales call. In such a way they can get a fresh update at a time most critical to the sales process.
Our guest company today provides such Internet-based training videos. Not only do we discuss the market characteristics and opportunities for distance learning, but also investigate the best ways to organize training modules.
Length: This video interview is covered in about 25 minutes.
