SMARTFORCE: 200 e-Learning courses

The Executive Leadership Foundation's Technology Transfer Project is pleased to provide a collection of 200 Self-Paced technology-training courses to all faculty, staff, and students at TTP's twelve participating schools. These courses are designed as an adjunct learning resource on topics such as: MS Office 2000, Windows 2000, Understanding the Internet, Web Design, and much more. SmartForce, an e-Learning Company, is the industry leader in the design and delivery of interactive education software, and has developed numerous award-winning pieces of interactive training courseware for educational, governmental and corporate institutions.

This unique computer-based training includes an easy-to-follow, systematic method, with very rich audio and video to lead the learner through each task and subject, making the training highly engaging for the user. SmartForce's interactive software enables the user to receive a tailored educational experience. Each course lesson is broken into sections, enabling easy start up at any point in the training and allowing users to bypass sections that have been previously mastered.

SmartForce was launched at 11 of the 12 TTP partner institutions. Full implementation of SmartForce e-Learning at the campuses is targeted for completion by the end of September 2000. Fred Barnett, an Information Technology Specialist at North Carolina Central University, speaks very highly of the product, "It's an excellent training tool for our campus environment; the courseware provides for individualized learning and it allows the student to learn manageable chunks of information; it's a wonderful self-paced learning tool."
