e-Tutorial Development

Developing a new educational or training product utilizing e-learning technology does take some forethought and creative energy. We have several tools on-line here to get you started and of course, would love to hear about your dream whenever the time is right.

First, e-learning Authoring Tools looks at the big picture of how templates can help present educational or training material to an audience you need to reach. Content Design is then a series of printable questions that will help clients determine how well their content material lends itself to e-learning technology. MPeT ™ features are in a printable chart form at Training Template Features that will be useful when you are ready to contact us. Our Template System Requirements outlines computer hardware requirements and acceptable text, video, audio and multimedia file formats that can be utilized in our products. Detailed views of the template products we have developed thus far can be found at e-Templates.

Before you finish imagining your project, be sure to check out our multimedia aspects. Spatial intelligence is nurtured through Virtual Reality in which learners immerse themselves in the learning environment you choose. One of the most comprehensive ways to pull an e-learning project together is via Live Video, even more so when it is transformed into an interactive experience. For a truly stellar personal touch that learners will not forget we, of course, have My Personal e-Tutor, MPeT ™. Project Based Learning is a very effective framework for integrating technology with curriculum. We offer a variety of Assessment Methods fine-tuned to different learning styles for measuring objectives and evaluating progress. Any or all of these features can be tailored to your needs to develop your Dream Tutorial.

Technology linked with education is a hot topic these days and we have some research to share with you. Higher Education Goes High Tech is an Association of American Publishers Inc. link to a video illustrating what a powerful ally technology is becoming for both teacher and student. (Be patient, this video can take several minutes to download.)

There is a wealth of information on-line and we suggest Eduscapes website as a resource to work from if you are interested in the latest research on learning. It addresses 3 major questions: What are the multiple intelligences? What do they have to do with technology? How can I incorporate these ideas into teaching and learning?

Educational pioneers inspired to explore exciting collaborations and what’s on the horizon in our schools, should check out The New World of Learning on Edutopia sponsored by The George Lucas Educational Foundation.
