The New SANAKO Forum 100 breathes Life into E-learning

SANAKO has merged development of its award-winning SANAKO Lounge 100 synchronous e-learning solution with its corporate e-learning application SANAKO Forum 100 to bring more benefits, flexibility and functionality to both corporate and educational users. The combined e-learning solution will be known as SANAKO Forum 100, and version 3.0 promises greater effectiveness and more advantages for Application-based Training (ABT), Continuous Professional Development (CPD), and can even add a desirable synchronous element to Learning Management Systems (LMS).

The world of synchronous e-learning provided by SANAKO Forum 100 goes beyond non-concurrent teaching to provide live real-time interaction using integrated voice and text communication tools, as well as other kinds of collaborative resources. Moreover, Forum 100 allows trainers to set up collaborative groups online that can engage in group or project work in real-time, thereby adding value to virtual training sessions. The live interaction combined with the ability to share and collaborate using resources such as an integrated digital interactive whiteboard makes Forum 100 ideal most educational and corporate e-learning programs.

SANAKO Forum 100 is a web-based solution that requires users to have only a PC and Internet connection to engage in rewarding live interaction in real time. It is unique among online training solutions because of its unparalleled ability to use a variety of communication and training tools that all place the teacher or trainer at the center of live online learning.

Benefits for all User Groups

Teachers and trainers can make use of the multi-point communication capabilities in Sanako Forum 100 to create a collaborative online environment that accommodates group work. Additionally, trainer-led interaction with live audio communication provides much more support for learners than asynchronous solutions.

The solution’s live learning possibilities make it a perfect complement to asynchronous learning, while it is also attractive and beneficial as a stand-alone teaching solution that can add value to previous investments in online training.

This virtual environment is the ideal answer for institutions or corporations that want to bring geographically spread students and learners into the learning network, and broadens access possibilities for learners who have problems physically getting into the classroom or training venue.

Practical Resources for Application-Based Training

In addition to its unique audio interaction, text and visual communication and use of ICT assets in online learning, Forum 100 offers an interactive whiteboard that allows trainers to upload images and even the trainer’s or students’ screens to the whiteboard for annotations and comments. Institutions with an interest in Application-based Training in areas such as Microsoft® Office programs, accountancy software and CAD-type packages will find this capability particularly valuable in their training programs. This feature can be used for the teaching of subjects such as mathematics and physics online.

Live Interaction supports Long-distance Language Training

The integrated media recorder in Forum 100 is capable of making VoIP recordings of voice interactions in the training sessions, which can then be saved and reviewed. Combined with SANAKO Media Assistant, a unique professional digital recorder designed specifically for language training, Forum 100 can be a powerful solution for language teaching in situations where teachers and students cannot be in the same location, and can also help corporations enhance their professional development programs.

For trainers used to asynchronous training methods, Forum represents the next step in e-learning by facilitating direct contact and real-time collaboration. Forum 100 even allows learners to access the session resources (files, etc) when the tutor is not present.
