The TOD(tm) video-based training-on-demand solution creates a multimedia network to deliver proven benefits of interactive, computer-based training to DOS/Windows PC users at the desktop.
With TOD, companies can now cost-effectively provide interactive multimedia desktop training to hundreds of users on the network -- when they want it, when they need it. TOD includes a preconfigured video server based on Starlight Networks' StarWorks® multimedia networking software and Sun Microsystems' SPARC-based servers, and interactive video training curriculum selected from vendors such as J3 Learning and ITC.
The StarWorks multimedia networking software and the courseware come preloaded on the Sun server, making it easy to add TOD to the existing network. TOD can be used with existing networks and applications in departmental workgroup environments for desktop applications training and performance support reference, or TOD can serve as the basis for a dedicated training center.
The TOD solution delivers the impressive benefits of interactive multimedia training, which has delivered returns on investment as high as 400 percent, according to a study conducted by the AMR Training & Consulting Group. This bottom line benefit is a direct result of the dramatic improvements of interactive, computer-based learning over traditional class-room methods, as well as its cost-effective delivery advantage.
Video-on-demand training significantly reduces training and travel time; and travel, hotel, instructor, postage, printing, and other expenses associated with live instruction are practically eliminated. Because TOD is preconfigured, there is no development cost, and the one-time cost of deployment decreases the cost per student as more students are trained. With TOD, there is no other way to learn.
