New Online Learning Offers Increased Flexibility for Different Learning Needs

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 6, 2014 — Rand Worldwide (OTCBB: RWWI), a global leader in providing technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and information technology requirements, announced that its courseware division, ASCENT – Center for Technical Knowledge, will now offer its latest Autodesk Official Training Guides (AOTG), Creo courseware, and CATIA courseware in an online, self-paced eLearning format in addition to their traditional guides and eBooks. This new self-serve, online training platform includes learning elements such as step-by-step procedures, hands-on exercises, and review questions that reinforce understanding to appeal to multiple learning styles.

“Our new eLearning Bundles put our industry-leading courseware into a rich interactive, online environment,” says Paul Burden, director of product development, ASCENT. “Our customers want to be able to learn when and where they want, so the addition of our online learning option enables us to offer them greater choice in how they access our content. We provide detailed instructional content, easy access to relevant practice exercises, plus instantaneous feedback on review quizzes so users will always know where they stand. There is also a search tool that filters course content for just-in-time-learning for those needing immediate information on a specific topic. Our priority is not to distract users with unnecessary gimmicks and features; our priority remains in providing easy access to highly effective learning content.”

The content for ASCENT’s eLearning Bundles is drawn from their traditional courseware and formatted in a user-friendly, instructional, self-paced online learning platform. From an employer or trainer perspective, reporting transcripts allow the tracking of each employee’s training progress.
