As an expert in the area of digital technology, I see first hand the exciting new ways that technology is improving Corporate America overall in areas communication and corporate standards. One way I have seen this change improve Corporate America is through quality of web based and CD ROM based technology.
   
   
 
 
 

Band width has increased by 1000% in only 10 years. In the next 5 years we will see streaming video on the Web as if it were television. But even now bandwidth has improved our opportunity to make effective use of digital technology in may areas of Corporate America.

Every one would agree that the world wide web has been an amazing machine of effectiveness. Now that we are comfortable with the web and computers, our next step is the use of web and CD ROM technology in corporate training. The corporate world has used video very effectively in the past. Now company's are using video in conjunction with web interfaces through CD ROM or online web servers to train and educate employees. The latest speed of computers and online broad band connections is making this all possible.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
         
This means training modules that were once boring and ineffective can now be made entertaining and comprehensive at your finger tip. No longer long staff meetings bringing up the new guy up to speed with corporate standards or employee benefits. Now CD ROM and web based technology can be applied for accessible training that occurs in a retainable and fun manner. An example of a proposed project using on line training is video modules housed in a web application. Video clips of topical training sessions were recorded and programmed into a web application creating online web based or CD ROM based training.

The topics are accessed via a web menu and a video is called up with supported text and graphics. This random method can fit in a schedule over multiple sessions or just allow for review of previously viewed sessions. Another approach could be sequential viewing covering priority topics. Following the video clip, a data base engine collects responses to questions that were covered in the video module. Responses are gathered, tallied and printed for goal setting, review and achievement purposes. This is just the tip of the ice berg using digital technology applied to Corporate America.
