Online training to be offered
to newspaper professionals
1.0. Technologies ofLas Vegas, Nev.,
and Cal Poly's Graphic Communication
Institute (GrCI) are working to bring
online training to newspaper profession
als worldwide.
In addition to creating and distributing
online courses, the two organizations are
working on programs that could have a
global impact on delivering training to
graphic communicators, according to
Harvey Levenson, head of the Graphic
Communication Department.
The organizations are developing a
specific course requested by the Newspa
per Association of America, and believe it
to be the first in a line of programs devel
oped for specific "vertical markets"
within the graphic communication indus
tries, Levenson said.
"We felt that 1.0. Technologies was a
good partner for us since they already had
developed a unique process and engine
for online training," said Levenson.
The process, called "olle InfoFind," is
a Dynamic Learning System that lets
users define their own individual learning
needs and objectives in real time, when
immediate support is needed, according to
the I.O. Technologies Web site.
