Dashcourses' Virtual Classroom Environment Makes High-Quality Training Affordable for International Firms

IT departments in the far corners of the globe have always faced a significant training challenge. The high cost of international airfare meant that the travel costs almost always exceeded the cost of the training itself.

The other alternative has always been to fly the instructor in for on-site training. The drawback of this meant that the classroom was not usually equipped optimally for the training.

The availability of high-speed internet and Dashcourses' new Virtual Classroom Environment has changed all that.

The classroom environment is hosted on a Dashcourses server farm that allows students to connect to it through their corporate firewalls. Once inside this virtual classroom, students are then able to talk to the instructor, watch the instructor, and connect to Dashcourses' computers which are pre-loaded with the requisite software.

For example, if it is a Java development class, all the Java development software is already pre-installed and pre-configured on a a PC in the Dashcourses virtual classroom. The student does not need to install java development software on his own PC.

The important aspect of this is security: even though the student is going through his own PC to connect to ours, no one has visibility into his PC

The student hears the instructor, sees the instructor, and talks to the instructor. When it's time to do the exercises, the student clicks a button and presto, he/she is on a computer in the virtual classroom dedicated to him/her.

The instructor can watch students work just as if he is standing there right at the student's side.
