Promethean is equipping channel partners with another resource to add value to their sales, by launching Prometheanlearning.com, a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) offering free accredited courses to help teachers make the most of their interactive whiteboard technology.
Effective training is integral to ensuring user acceptance and widespread adoption of interactive technology in schools. As a free online programme, the VLE will support channel partners in making training as accessible as possible to their customers.
Steve Dracup, Promethean, comments: Channel partners have often reported lack of training to be a barrier to repeat business, but to get the most out of interactive systems, it is important for teachers to possess the relevant knowledge. Where teachers are too busy to attend formal training sessions, or budget is simply not available, Prometheanlearning.com offers a solution. As a free training resource, it is also an easy way for our partners to add value to the sale.
Prometheanlearning.com offers free online professional user accreditation courses for the award-winning Activprimary and Activstudio software. The courses consist of fully interactive tutorials in ten topics, each of which involves a short assessment and flipchart design task. There are no time constraints and teachers are able to work at their own pace, allowing flexibility and ease of use. A free Introduction to Activote course is also available, which shows teachers how to get started with their interactive voting kits.
