Distance Education
Participate in live distance education classes with VoIP, slides, webcam and more. WebTrain provides an easy to use, highly interactive synchronous platform for distance education.

Given WebTrain's special educational institution pricing, our very competitive commercial rates and the robustness of our Communicator™ web conferencing and collaboration solutions, we are the solution of choice for educational institutions and organizations conducting eLearning initiatives.

University of Southern Mississippi School of Construction Associate Director says: "As a faculty using WebTrain Video Conferencing to create a "virtual" classroom, I was very pleased with the results.  The process went much smoother than I anticipated and I never expected the student outcomes of the "virtual" class to exceed that of the "bricks and mortar" class".  See what several other of our customers say about their WebTrain use here.

With minimal training, instructors can: present courseware in a synchronous online environment; set up labs and conduct quizzes; present PowerPoint slideshows; share other applications; tour websites, show rich multimedia content and documents; and, provide effective distance education at a fraction of the cost of traditional classroom courses.

Communicator™ Version 3.6 provides the educator and class participants with the option of multilingual interfaces.  French and English are available today.

With Communicator™ Version 4 which will be available soon, training will be able to be conducted in multiple simultaneous languages in the same training session, course or meeting.  Multilanguage VoIP streaming (much like United Nations simultaneous translations) and concurrent multiple language course content will enable the participant to join the session in their own language of choice.

WebTrain provides a truly dynamic distance education experience which in turn creates value and productivity for our customers through their application of our unique solutions!
