QuicktoLearn - the fast, low-cost e-learning solution - wins IBM Lotus 'Best Lotus Workplace Collaborative Learning Solution' award
QuicktoLearn, an on-demand, low cost e-learning solution that can be deployed as a fully customised portal in less than a week, has won one of IBM Lotus's coveted Awards - for Best Lotus Workplace Collaborative Learning Solution'.
Despite the 'availability' of e-learning as a medium, many organisations find that obtaining an e-learning solution is still far slower and more expensive than it could be.
For example, many major e-learning companies typically still don't let customers buy courses instantly on line, but point enquiries to a sales person.
In contrast, QuicktoLearn provides real on-demand e-learning solutions - at a low cost. At one end of the scale, single and multiple courses can be bought instantly, from a catalogue of almost 2000 courses. At the other end of the scale, for those organisations that wish to have their own Web-based e-learning portal (complete with a library of courses) a dedicated solution can be deployed in less than a week.
Customers can be individuals, SMEs, corporate organisations, or even training companies wishing to establish their own on-line e-learning business.
QuicktoLearn has been created by a partnership of two leading e-learning organisations: Transition Associates (in the UK) and Corporate Learning Systems (in Australia). The two companies have worked together for around five years, bound by highly-compatible cultures, business ethics, goals and the commitment to deliver e-learning solutions based on IBM/Lotus technologies.
Miles Corbett, managing director of Transition Associates, believes that QuicktoLearn is one of the most cost-effective e-learning portal solutions available today. "We created QuicktoLearn in response to the market. Organisations told us that they wanted e-learning fast, at low cost and delivered via their own branded portal. That's what we produced. Winning this Award, against tough competition, really underlines the relevance and quality of QuicktoLearn as a world-learning e-learning solution."
Corbett is enthusiastic about the benefits of QuicktoLearn: "E-learning costs and deployment timescales are substantially reduced - by up to 90%. Solutions can be deployed within days. The need for capital investment is eliminated. We operate on a contract basis - and these contracts have a one-month termination period. We make e-learning like a telephone service, or other utility: there when you need it."
QuicktoLearn's customers include IBM, Certified Practising Accountants and JobNetwork. In fact, JobNetwork is typical in its use of QuicktoLearn. Jobnetwork was launched to service Australia's unemployed - it is designed to help people to reskill for new roles/jobs/careers, and increase their interview potential, through a range of around fifty on-line entry-level courses. When a person registers with an Australian Job Agency (the equivalent of a UK Job Centre or the US Unemployment Service) the Job Agency can enrol the person on Jobnetwork's courses - providing them with a login and password to allow them to start learning quickly. Jobnetwork is available to all of Australia's 1.2 million unemployed people, via the network of 1200 Job Agencies.
JobNetwork's QuicktoLearn solution was specified, developed and deployed in less than two weeks! Jobnetwork is fully branded as Australia's National Employment Services Association.
Transition Associates is no stranger to winning awards - it has previously won three other Lotus awards for e-learning solutions.
"We've always been thrilled to receive awards," says Corbett, "and this one is no exception. It's fantastic to have QuicktoLearn recognised in this way by IBM Lotus."
