Customer Base:

Learning Communications' customer base exceeds 50,000 organizations in business, government, healthcare, education and other markets. While training directors are our largest market segment, we also deal with HR directors, and operating managers in organizations from 100 employees to hundreds of thousands. Most of the Fortune 1000 are Learning Communications customers.

e-Learning Strategy:

We define e-Learning as the delivery of training courses or job aids to the PC anytime, anywhere, via the Internet (or Intranet) and the related recording and measurement of that training. The small “e” and large “L” in e-Learning further describe our goals. We believe that the electronic channel (“e”) offers exciting potential for cost reduction, complete flexibility (anywhere/anytime learning), and improved record-keeping. But even more significant is the enhanced learning potential of the medium.

The instructional quality of the courseware is the long-term key to success in this new field. We are therefore focused on delivering content rich, compelling courseware. Over the long haul, this courseware will be video-based, since video remains the single best format for delivering nuanced behavior modeling, an essential ingredient in soft-skills training. In the meantime we look for training that is engaging and rigorous.

Today's HR and training managers are faced with a dazzling array of delivery methodolgies. E-learning is just one of the choices, What our customers are demanding is a combination that matches their needs with respect to: Speed, Content Characteristics, Location, Target Audience. The over-used buzzword is "blended learning." One size clearly does not fit all.
