Coming Soon! Online versions of our popular training courses

Posted on August 20th, 2010 in Online training by abhisam

Miami, Aug 20, 2010-The team at Abhisam Software is excited to announce the launch of all e-learning courses in an online format soon, after testing is over. To start with, we will be making available our Gas Monitors Training course and our RFID Training course online. These great automation and instrumentation training courses will soon be accompanied by other ones.

This means that if you do not want to download these programs, you can simply login and view from any computer or similar device anywhere in the world (however it should support Flash/Shockwave, since many of our animations and simulations require it). This means that if you do not want to install any additional programs on your PC/laptop/computing device, or if your device does not run Windows, you can still take our courses. The same course, same look and feel but totally online and nothing to install on your machine.

Enrollment will be online with automatic registration through Paypal (you need not have a Paypal account-any credit card would do as well). Or if you wish, you can even bulk purchase by buying via check or bank transfer, the preference is left to you. As  usual, learners can take a test after they complete the course and get a certificate on passing too! It will help your career and is proof of your comptetency in these subjects, that employers are looking for. You can even pre-order these now with just your intent to buy, no payment is required. Call or email us from here.

Using animation effectively in training courses

Posted on August 31st, 2008 in e-learning by abhisam

This was a concept that we pioneered about five years ago.  We were the first company to make extensive use of animations in various training programs made for the process industry. A classic example is the training course on Hazardous Area Instrumentation, which makes extensive use of animations to explain concepts effectively. Similarly our training course on Safety Instrumented Systems and Gas Detectors use animation extensively.

We are happy to note that the trend has caught on and the US Chemical Safety Board, has started usage of such animations in its safety training videos. Their findings are that the viewers pay more attention, understand the concept better and hence, are more likely to actually learn the stuff.

They have even started posting these videos (part video, part animation) on their own site and also on YouTube (of course!). Here is an example of one of these videos below. It shows how an innocuous device like a level instrument float, can cause a major fire due to static electricity!
