Local company istudy4.com has launched e-learning in South Africa with the announcement of an e-commerce web site at www.istudy4.com which provides over 1200 on-line training titles. The web site supplies immediately accessible, interactive multimedia and animated courseware via an agreement with Learn2.com, world leader in the creation and distribution of e-learning solutions.
Content offerings include titles in categories such as IT, programming, finance, MCSE and the internet as well as a myriad other subjects in areas such as arts and crafts, automotive, family and pets or sports and recreation.
"The implications for business users and individuals are huge, since the scale and scope of this web site and the content offerings are so vast," said Glen Jordan, director, istudy4.com.
"Anyone can instantly access the course material and complete the training in their own time, in their own place and at their own leisure. The advanced patented streaming technology used by the Learn2.com material is one of the most sophisticated means of delivering multimedia rich content over the internet, eliminating download delays and network congestion. The fact that istudy4.com is hosting the web site locally also works in our favour when accessing the material.
"In addition, istudy4.com has purchased this technology for local use and will be applying it to our own content development for South African requirements.
"This is a new era in learning. We stand to revolutionise the training industry completely. On-line learning eliminates many of the problems associated with the traditional training environment, for example:
costly days out of the office for trainees;
learners absorbing information at different paces and either being bored or left behind;
learners can access training material on-line at whatever time suits their individual schedule
reduced costs of training for learners wanting to upgrade their skills at their own expense.
"The new web site provides the opportunity for anyone with access to the internet, whether it is at home, office, internet cafe or community centre, to sign up for a course and complete it with minimal fuss. We are truly benefitting from the digital age," concluded Jordan.
