IMAGINiT, 4D Technologies Partner for eLearning Experience

Rand_logoOWINGS MILLS, MD, Apr 10, 2015 – Rand Worldwide, a global leader in providing technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and information technology requirements, announced that its IMAGINiT Technologies division has partnered with 4D Technologies, developers of industry leading CADLearning video learning content, to create an unrivalled multi-modal eLearning experience. Now available through IMAGINiT’s ProductivityNOW portal, the popular self-paced, Autodesk focused eLearning curriculum combines video instruction to create a rich learning experience.

“As a time-starved professional, sacrificing billable time to leave the office to travel and attend in-classroom training can be challenging,” says Kevin Kuker, vice president of services operations for IMAGINiT Technologies. “By integrating CADLearning video into ProductivityNOW’s curriculum, we’re able to offer users a self-paced learning experience that incorporates all the learning modalities. We believe that this is the first step in evolving our learning solutions to better suit the unique learning styles and needs of our customers.”

Visually demonstrating new skills and behaviors is an important part of multi-modal learning. IMAGINiT’s video enhanced eLearning curriculum provides access to more than 1,000 video demonstrations covering products such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Civil 3D and Autodesk Revit. In addition to videos, informative audio and screen shots help to demonstrate the software in action while hands-on exercises and the ability to revisit topics reinforce the material learned. Whether auditory, visual or kinesthetic learners, every user can absorb the information in the way that best suits their learning style.

“With this new ProductivityNOW offering, we’ve combined industry-leading video tutorials with eLearning content from Autodesk Official Training Guides,” says Matt Murphy, director of content management and development for CADLearning. “This pairing allows self-paced learners to acquire knowledge and skills from two trusted resources to maximize today’s limited training time while increasing productivity where and when customers need it.”
