viaLearning presents Webinar, "Avoiding the Pitfalls of Global e-Learning"

Portland, Oregon – March 4, 2010 – viaLearning, the nation's leading e-learning company with a specialization in global deployment, will present a webinar that focuses on issues to consider when planning and executing a global e-learning project.

When: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 11:00am PST

Speakers: To be announced soon!

Summary: Most of your global workforce has a good understanding of English. Or do they? While their speaking skills indicate proficiency for common vocabulary, do they learn well enough in English to comprehend and assimilate policy, new processes or change behavior and performance? Research indicates that ESL (English as a Second Language) learners are susceptible to comprehension difficulties, which add up to compromised training effectiveness and global performance. Adapting the course for every country, language and cultural nuance is rarely feasible. However, one can design web-based training from the start with multilingual and multicultural in mind and localize training where the return on time invested makes most sense.

Join viaLearning to learn how to deploy a successful global e-learning program that helps you gain higher learning and performance from your employees, sales channels and partners. In this webinar you will learn:

  • The importance of culturally adapting instructional design, scripts and including regional customization
  • Pros and cons of centralized development
  • Tips for facilitating collaboration, review and deployment with your regions
  • Cost reduction strategies for localization and internationalization of course design
