The Virtual Classroom Solution for Today's Training Needs

In today's challenging economy, a well-trained work force is a must if your business is to survive and thrive. To keep your employees up to speed with the latest technologies and the best business practices, a virtual classroom solution can be a more cost-effective and flexible alternative to conventional classroom training.

SkillSoft's Virtual Classroom Solution

SkillSoft is a leading provider of online courseware, digital books, and other computer based training solution sets. Its virtual classroom solution can deliver more for your training investment by training more people more quickly and more effectively than a traditional classroom approach. SkillSoft's virtual classroom solution also offers the scheduling flexibility that your employees need to fit training into their busy work days.

SkillSoft's virtual classroom solution addresses a wide range of training needs from IT certification preparation to project management skills development. Students participating in a virtual classroom lesson engage with an integrated set of instructional content:

• Live audio-video streaming of the instructor team leading the lesson. The SkillSoft virtual classroom solution typically features teams of two instructors—an approach that improves student learning and material retention.
• Multimedia presentation materials chosen by the instructors. Along with text, graphics, and animations that complement the instructors' spoken presentation, these supporting materials may also include interactive exercises and quizzes.
• Chat functionality that lets students interact in real time with the instructors, as well as with other students.

In addition to live lessons, SkillSoft's virtual classroom solution provides recorded versions of lessons that can be utilized at any time that's convenient for the student.
