Many attempts at Synchronous computer training and instruction have failed. Most have suffered from a combination of poor design and execution. It’s typically not been the tool, it’s been the model. If this model was going to be different we were going to have to create something that solves 2 MAJOR problems found in most programs to date:

Microsoft Software Assurance Training Voucher - Free computer training, live distance learning & consultingTaking an existing computer training course, like a SQL Server or Visual Studio.NET or Vista Server, and simply porting it on-line depending too heavily on Synchronous as the dominant modality. This is basically asking the technology to do more then it can, replace the classroom OR act like the classroom. They don’t maximize one of the BEST instructional elements this type of model has to offer and that’s TIME!

Current programs don’t understand how to design learning for the 2 dimensional and visual nature of synchronous based instruction.

So Microsoft Official Distance Learning (MODL) takes advantage of Dr. Clark’s and Gottfredson’s work and we incorporate all the aspects of what distance learning brings to the table including TIME, being on the job throughout, and the many tools, including synchronous, MSL and the industry has built to date.
