Pre-training
URL: www.trainingmultimedia.co.uk - This extraordinary website is intended for trainers who are looking either to source off-the-shelf interactive multimedia training module, training video or e-learning materials, whether CD-ROM, DVD or intranet delivered, or to have a new interactive multimedia or training video package designed and produced for them.
It allows you to create the entire pre-training package through ready -made multi media and e-learning titles and programs. The multi benefits are: new media for pre-training and e-learning the issues of different authoring styles, the choice of platform and the questions the trainer is likely to have to resolve with their IT department, such as the bandwidth available on the organization's intranet, the multimedia capability of the desktop PCs, CD-ROM or DVD drives, the browser and the use of a learning management system.
Additionally, it offers many other extras, such as, its foreign language versions and 3-D animation. I like this website because it takes the stress out of creating an effective pre-training course. However, it is not a free resource and can become costly depending on what the product consist of. Conversely, you receive a high quality product that is very effective.
