Cisco TelePresence combines high-quality audio, high-definition video, and interactive elements to deliver an in-person meeting experience. Cisco TelePresence clients can now offer their end users award winning Ascolta training through anytime, anywhere online eLearning.

Ascolta recognized the need to continue to expand their eLearning offerings to meet their clients' changing training needs. "Working with CourseAvenue is an important step in continuing to support our customers' training objectives", stated Ted Wagner, Ascolta's CFO. "This partnership increases our ability to expand in this area of training and build custom eLearning courses for our clients."

"We see a continuously growing need to convert ILT into eLearning from the leaders in the training field", explained Joe Gorup, CourseAvenue CEO. "Working with the Ascolta team to convert existing classroom content demonstrated how we can successfully combine the best of both learning formats".

The Cisco TelePresence course includes CourseAvenue's Hybrid eLearning capabilities, giving Ascolta clients the ability to customize specific elements of the course including welcome messages, specific contact information for end users, and company branding.

And since all CourseAvenue courses are published in AICC/SCORM standards-compliant formats, Ascolta is assured that the courses they develop in collaboration with CourseAvenue will launch and track seamlessly from their clients' various learning-management systems.

The combination of Ascolta training services and CourseAvenue's expertise in collaborative eLearning development is expected to provide customers with comprehensive training solutions to meet their clients' changing training needs.
