Rich-media for Real-time Training
They’ve come a long way, but the tools for delivering web-based
distance learning and training still haven’t given corporate
trainers the level of convenience and control that they’d like.
We have a solution. Pitchsmart Classroom incorporates the entire
family of Pitchsmart technologies into a premier platform for web-based
learning. Use Pitchsmart Presenter for
instructor-led distance learning. Use Pitchsmart
Theater for web-based self-instruction. Combine them both for
highly focused online seminars. Include custom-developed Flash and
Shockwave content to create a highly interactive, secure learning
environment.
We’re also developing an expanding suite of assessment tools,
including testing and monitoring, to make sure that learning just
doesn’t happen, it’s measured.
And, unlike other web-only training systems, Pitchsmart Classroom
can deliver all of this over your Intranet or on CD-ROM as well.
No Need to Reinvent the Wheel
If you’re already using the Internet to deliver web-based training,
we can migrate your existing materials to PitchSmart Classroom.
Plus, you gain all the inherent advantages of a rich-media format.
Or, perhaps you’re using computer-based training programs and
are looking at ways to support your students through mentoring sessions
or instructor-lead components. It’s a powerful combination
that offers a well-rounded educational and training program.
Engage Your Students in Dialog
One of the true advantages of using PitchSmart Classroom is that
you can turn any training session into a dialog. Because you have
complete control over the media, you can engage your students more
freely. You control the pace and the flow of the program all at
the click of a mouse.
The Web-based Classroom
PitchSmart Classroom allows you to reach students anywhere in the
world. All you and your students need are an Internet connection,
a computer and a phone. And with PitchSmart, you can reach a class
of 1,000 with the same ease that you reach one student.
The Web-based Classroom Around the Clock
Beyond instructor lead delivery, you can also extend classroom time
to 24-hour access with PitchSmart Classroom. Students have access
to training on their schedule, 24 x 7, available on the web 24 hours
a day as a stand-alone, self-running application. And, your Classroom
program can include all the dynamic elements of a rich media presentation‹animation,
graphics, even streaming video. Another advantage is that unlike
other self-playing programs that require hefty downloads, PitchSmart
Classroom programs are tuned for web delivery so they’re speedy
and efficient.
Built Expressly for Web Delivery
Built on industry-standard technologies, like Shockwave®, Flash™,
and QuickTime™, PitchSmart was designed from the ground up
for web-delivery. With PitchSmart Classroom there's no broadcast
of large graphic or animation files, so programs are fast and responsive.
Easy for you...and your students
PitchSmart Classroom requires only that you and the student have
a computer and an Internet connection. It’s a format that’s
compatible with every web browser your students may use: Explorer,
Netscape or AOL. We even include a built-in “flight check”
to see that everyone’s browser is configured correctly so there’s
no hassle for you. But what if your students don’t have a browser?
No problem. Direct students to an executable file for download or
you can even distribute your training program on CD-ROM.
Viewer system requirements:
Operating System: Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT, Macintosh OS 8.1 or
higher
Web Browser: Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or AOL. (Not
currently compatible with Netscape 6.0)
Plug-ins: Shockwave®. QuickTime™ or RealPlayer® (if
the presentation involves video).
That’s it!
