What is BlueboardIT?
BlueboardIT facilitates training within your organization via the internet. Imagine your employees training on their employee handbook on-line and on their time.

Why Online Education?
We offer you the ability to create self-paced learning programs with the support of instructors and mentors within your organization, without the confines and structure that comes with on-site training programs in classroom style education. Training through web-based education can help with getting employees trained at the level they need to be. We provide a very easy format for both your instructors and students to learn and master in a short amount of time. Courses are developed, and testing can be generated on very specific topics relative to your organization.

Differences between BlueboardIT and Typical Online Courses
You should note that there are many differences between a typical online course or distance education programs, and BlueboardIT. An online course allows you to work at and complete the course virtually anywhere, without stepping out of your house or office. Distance education programs usually require some form of an online classroom location, and usually involve direct contact with an instructor at some point in time. Oftentimes, your organization is at the mercy of these programs who often implement a generic, shotgun approach to various topics. Both formats can be costly, generic, and a loss of valuable time to your organization. BlueboardIT offers you the chance to customize your training to your organization. You can design courses that are specific to your needs, specific to your work groups, and specific to the skills that exists in every profession. BlueboardIT was born with the idea of offering hybrid courses that eliminate a course lecture and allows for more hands-on, practical training. We offer the best of both worlds in a service that offers both online training and distance learning formats.

Benefits of Online Learning
We have recognized that many training opportunities are lost as potential learners do not have flexible enough schedules to attend, the cost of specialized and advanced programs exceed budgets, or the employer has to pick and chose which employee is granted a training opportunity while others miss out. Why limit your organization when it comes to training and education? BlueboardIT allows you to train as many employees or students as you like. From the entire company, department, or class, to a single user. Many courses are developed from the resources you already have on hand. From department policies, state regulations, employee handbooks, maps, safety memos, media files, and good old fashion experience in a subject matter. Your courses can be built, modified, and implemented in minutes by the people you chose to instruct. Files, feeds, maps, documents, videos, and web links can be uploaded with a few clicks of a mouse. As personnel changes and an organization advances.... so can the courses.

BlueboardIT also offers more opportunities for the users to engage in interactive educational activities than other webbased training. With the interactive nature of system, students can get continuous feedback along the way to help them stay on track. We offer a direct chat session with other users and instructors to provide a virtual classroom and direct feedback to questions and ideas. You can have an instructor in Madison, Wisconsin engaging students from anywhere in the world. From their home in Minneapolis, their office in New York, at a cafe in San Jose, while in an airport in London. Anywhere an internet connection can be made, your employees can learn, instruct, and exchange.
