SumTotal Systems Case Study: Symbol Technologies 2006-06-29 04:49:36 SumTotal Systems

Without an infrastructure, Symbol could not provide certifications, other than in a hands-on, proctored environment. Symbol needed a way to bring its partners up-to-speed on the new product line, as well as to keep them current on information about thousands of its other products. Symbol deployed the SumTotal Enterprise Suite, as Symbol University, to support the PartnerSelect Program worldwide as well as to support learners within Symbol and a decade's worth of transcripts and data.

Quinnipiac University Achieves Student Technical Competency Via e-Learning 2006-06-23 01:00:29 Element K

Like many colleges and universities, Quinnipiac has a heightened demand for technology in the classroom. But unlike many other universities, faculty members at Quinnipiac have been some of the earliest champions for technology. Quinnipiac determined that the one credit computer course it had been offering freshmen since 1980 - a course meant to provide students with basic presentation skills and word processing tools needed for the work expected at Quinnipiac - wasn't serving its purpose. In the late 90s, Quinnipiac's manager of training explored some e-learning alternatives to this one credit technology course, and ultimately found Element K.

Building Internet Skills in Rural Colorado 2006-06-23 01:00:29 Cisco Systems

In 1995, there was little or no Internet infrastructure in most parts of Southeastern Colorado. But Otero Junior College helped change all that. Situated among cattle ranching and row crop irrigated farming in the Arkansas River Valley, Otero took the initiative to help build an Internet infrastructure to connect the surrounding rural communities. The college also adopted a new mission - to build a local workforce of highly-skilled IT professionals. The college adopted the Cisco Networking Academy Program in 1998, and became the first Academy in the state.
