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.

The problem with m-learning

Posted on September 26th, 2008 in m-learning by abhisam

For the past two years or so, there was a lot of hype about mobile learning or m-learning; which is seen to be a step forward from e-learning. However, the much vaunted numbers of m-learners are nowhere to be seen. Yes, we had the I-Phone and now we have the G-phone, but have you heard about any great m-learning applications yet?

The reason is not for want of courses, software or products. We had launched our m-learning course on RFID (actually a quiz),  more than a year back, but it is not very popular.  Cost is not an issue, it costs just a dollar.  Compatibility is also not an issue, it can run on a Windows smartphone or a Blackberry or a Palm, equally well.

The real issue seems to be that the small screen size of most smartphones (small compared to the large  monitors on most computers). People are used to viewing things on larger and larger screens by the day and the small screen seems to be the biggest hurdle in getting users to accept m-learning.

If there is a way to project the mobile smartphone screen on another surface (like the way a beamer projects a PC screen on a wall), then there may some interest generated, else the situation may remain the same.
