Sanako UK Ltd will be introducing its live, collaboration and learning solution, Sanako Forum 100 to the corporate market in the UK at the forthcoming Learning Technologies Exhibition, Olympia, London, 28th - 29th January 2004.

The flexibility of the solution creates the ideal virtual environment for synchronous corporate collaboration over the internet with a particular focus on learning, training and performance coaching.

Shaz Khan, Business Manager at Sanako UK Limited, says: "The Learning Technologies Exhibition is very important to us, as it will be the first major UK show we've attended and provides an ideal platform for us to demonstrate the emphasis we have placed on corporate learning in developing Sanako Forum 100. We are confident that this will appeal to a large number of exhibition visitors."

Sanako UK Limited's parent company, the Finland based Sanako Corporation, has an innovative heritage and is an established market leader in the global professional learning and education sectors. Sanako Forum 100 draws on this experience and knowledge of the learning process to combine a broad based solution for virtual meetings with the specific requirements of instructor-led training over the internet.

Sanako Forum 100 enables companies to hold real-time virtual meetings with employees, partners and customers situated in remote locations. The solution offers excellent audio quality and allows participants to communicate verbally on a one-one basis or in groups. Integrated within Sanako Forum 100 are a range of communication tools that enable participants to follow presentations, work together on documents, share resources, materials and much more.

As a training platform Sanako Forum 100 enables a trainer or coach to differentiate between different levels of ability by allocating learners to one of a number of groups in the virtual class. Within each group instructor and participants can speak simultaneously and work collaboratively, thus making real interactive group discussions and activities as real as everyday life!

The solution enables instructor-led web presentations as well as allowing the instructor to launch files directly to student workstations or post resources in the file area for participants to access. Participants can effortlessly send assignments back to the instructor or post examples of their own work for other participants in the group. This quick and easy exchange of data between instructor and participants creates a captivating and vibrant learning environment and also makes online testing and assessment an effortless task.

Sanako Forum 100 allows global interaction without leaving the office and the benefits are enormous. Companies will save money and time on travelling and they will be able to schedule efficient virtual meetings and training sessions regardless of where the participants are located.
