CAD Training Online Offers Virtual Classrooms
 HAMPTON,
VA, Aug 4, 2009 – CADTrainingOnline.com announced recently its release
of proprietary virtual
classroom technology to provide instructor led training to keep employee
education affordable.Maintaining a leading edge during tough economic
times is a challenge faced when keeping business ahead of the competition.
It is known that training is critical to honing skills and increasing
productivity, yet during tough times people often do not attend
professionally led training due to the high cost of travel and time away
from being productive in the office. To address this hurdle, CAD Training
Online has brought instructor led classroom training to right to
the desktop.
The CAD Training Online’s Virtual Classroom Difference
Everyone has participated in some form of e-learning where one simply
watches a video and can’t ask any questions that come up. Or perhaps have
had to attend a training Webinar that consists of nothing more than
PowerPoint slides and lengthy software demonstrations. These passive forms
of training do not lend themselves to hands on practice or interaction with
a professional CAD educator. For training on complex CAD software, these
forms of training are mediocre at best.
When attending the CAD Training Online’s classes each student is assigned
over the Internet to a world class Quad Core 8 Gigabyte computer. The
student is literally "remotely controlling" a high-end CAD workstation that
has all of the CAD software and class exercise files required for hands on
instructor led training.
All required courseware is shipped directly to the student’s office. Once
in the virtual CAD classroom the instructor can see each student's computer
in real time and the student can see the instructor's computer at all times.
When the student is in need of direct assistance the instructor can take
control of the student's computer and directly show the student how to solve
the problem. The instructor can even share a student's computer with the
entire class so that everyone can learn from what someone else has
discovered. Toll free conference calls allow for the audio portion of the
training. This is just like being in a live classroom except that one didn't
have to leave home or office.
It is widely known that the impact and benefits of properly conducted
instructor-led training far outweighs any other form of software training.
Watching boring training videos can't help when anyone have questions that
are not covered in the video. Only live instructor-led training allows for
100% teacher/student interaction. CAD Training Online classes typically
have a student to teacher ratio of only 4 to 1, ensuring the attention and
hand holding that is expected from a professionally conducted instructor led
class. The primary benefit to Live Online Virtual Classroom Training is cost
savings. During our current economic environment we have watched this form
of training grow to represent over 50% of our offered training services.
This method of instruction does not require any travel at all. The cost
savings per student for a typical four day training class exceeds $1,000
when taken into account travel, lodging and meal expenses. One can imagine
what a company can save by not having to send students away from the office.
Not having to travel has several benefits beyond simple cost savings:
- Students who do not have to travel from the office are more apt to
be able to take care of business during class breaks. In addition, not
having to travel means that multi-day classes do not have to be run
consecutively day after day. Eliminating travel allows to split
multi-day classes up anyway we need to. Want to train only on
Wednesdays? How about Tuesday and Thursday nights? CAD Training Online
can create a custom schedule to match anyone's needs.
- Think of the carbon footprint that is left behind when one has
to drive or fly to a training class. Eliminating travel almost
completely eliminates this impact.
