USERTECH/Canterbury has a long tradition of applying technology to the process of adult learning. Since the early 1980’s and beyond, we have designed, developed, delivered and supported:

CBT – Presenting the fullest possible range of interactive self-study (asynchronous) e-Learning content through local hard drive, CD/ROM, high-speed Local and Wide Area Networks, or “thick” client Internet channels.

WBT – Offering the fastest and widest distribution of interactive self-study (asynchronous) e-Learning content, using standard Web browsers and Internet, Intranet, and Extranet transport facilities.

EPSS – a collection of electronic job-related support mechanisms, including online Help and Coaching facilities, live (synchronous) Customer Service channels, and performance analysis and evaluation tools.

Video – Asynchronous animated or live presentation full-screen media delivered in VHS or Betamax tape cassette format, or through sophisticated video conferencing or closed-circuit television facilities.

Streaming Media – Digital audio and video presentations, delivered across Internet, Intranet, and Extranet transport facilities; typically used in conjunction with other live or on-demand content presentation components.

Distance Learning – Live or on-demand content delivered through private networks or the Internet; typically refers to virtual classroom training – however, almost all e-Learning presentations are experienced at a geographic or chronological distance.

Online Reference – the presentation of system, mechanical or process documentation on a display mechanism; usually features a network of hypertext linkage, and may include animation or streaming media.

It’s important to recognize, however, that e-Learning is not an end in itself. It is a collection of presentation and support platforms, which can compliment traditional methods to form a blended learning experience.
