Web-Based Training Kiosk Provides Custom Course CDs


Reported from the Penn State Website.

Penn Staters now have another alternative in offering and receiving supplemental training--custom Web-Based Training (WBT) course CDs. Web-Based Training offers over 1,600 free technology and business and professional development tutorials. With the new CD-burning kiosk, faculty members can have WBT courses bundled and loaded onto the kiosk according to academic course number. Students who are unable to download the courses or use them with an online connection can now use the kiosk to create a CD of the assigned or recommended WBT tutorials for their academic course.

What an opportunity to not only reach students who miss a class or have scheduling conflicts but also to deploy a catalog of courses for those learners with interest in your subject.

At a cost of $7 a CD for the student, I find that totally reasonable.
As a parent, I'd definitely support having this techonology for my kids. (of course it'll a while before my child enters college.

Extreme Thinking is tiring

I've been back to work now for just a few days and I can't begin to tell you how many opportunities I've had to share my experiences in the Extreme lab with Elliott.

Dude, I'm still stoked about what can happen here. I just need more time.

Time is an element that both intrigues and scares me. Mastering one's time is somthing that takes years to accomplish. I feel like I'm regressing.

For those who who think Extreme Learning is out the realm of possibilities for their companies, may need to try another avenue. This is an answer to many of our issues. Not THE answer but one answer.
