eTraining ROOM is the collaborative result of 2 highly successful
and respected companies..... (1) Video Excellence Productions
Inc., a company with over 20 years in the customizing of
broadcast digital video programs for promotion - training within
all major industries, with outputs to tape, CD, DVD and
internet...... (2) ESM Group Inc., a company with over 10 years
in the web design, computer training and IT server fields.
Together, these companies have formed an "edutainment" solution
to "fix" boring training methodologies -- taking existing mundane
training programs and injecting the necessary vital components to
make those subjects highly entertaining, enduring, repeatable,
more learner-friendly, and more cost effective, especially when
multi-branch situations are taken into account. Visit our
website at http://www.etraining-room.ca and try a variety of
demonstrations of training examples.

coupled with the hardware environments of the users, a variety of
both hardware, and software programs are used to accomplish the
tasks. Where appropriate, broadcast Digital cameras for filming,
and non-linear digital software - hardware for editing, are
utilized. Current versions of Velocity, 3dStudio, Lightwave,
Director, Flash, etc. are used, along with various programs -
techniques for compression of the programs to smallest file sizes
while still maintaining highest possible resolutions. Server

Sector:
Unique Applications: For a non-profit organization, we analyzed course content and then developed an effective and entertaining online training program for volunteers of a non-profit agency, to replace a live training program being offered several times a year in multiple cities across Canada.
RESULTS: The online training not only proved a more effective training tool, allowing the trainee to take the training at their own pace, and repeat the training if desired, at their leisure at their home, but also saved the non-profit over $300,000. annually in trainer€™s costs, costs of manuals and support materials, travel expenses, etc.
Success Stories: eTraining : Anytime, Anywhere
Case History – XYZ Pharmaceutical – Head Office in Vancouver, manufacturing in Montreal and Hong Kong – branch offices in many provinces, several US states, and in several countries internationally.
Since the company€™s founding, every time there was a new product release, the Company sent a team of trainers to key points around the world to visit - educate the Company€™s employees and select clients (distributors, hospitals, doctors, pharmacists, etc.) on the details of the product. Last year alone, these trainers rented accommodations and a centralized location in each city, arranged for refreshments, used mail and telemarketing to get everyone to physically attend the session in their locale. Of course, they were lucky to get 75% attendance at any point in time because of timetable conflicts, trainer - employee illness, vacations, etc. This meant that either the remaining 25% never got covered, or had to be covered on a one-to-one basis. Training was a very time consuming, expensive proposition, especially for coverage of large audiences, in diverse locations, in a short time period.
This year however, world affairs and health issues have presented even greater challenges.
The Company just got approvals to release their new wonder drug to the market. They needed to jump on the market quicklyÂ…Â… advise their employees, distributors, the press, hospitals, doctors, pharmacists, etc., all within a short time period. Let€™s tune in on the present scenario in Bob€™s (the CEO) office as he talks with Gladys, his assistant.
€œGladys, call Rick in Training to get his people moving on this program. Arrange their flights, book their rooms, conference facilities, call / email all the branches and synchronize the dates and times of employee - customer attendance in each location.€?, said Bob
€œBob€?, Gladys reacts,€? I was reading in the Star a few months ago that there€™s something new in our area called eTraining that could save a bunch of time and lots of expense.€?
€œGladys, what€™re you talking about?€?, says Bob.
Gladys continuesÂ….€?We could videotape Rick€™s presentation, mix in some of his charts, add some music, include some testimonials, put that on our website, and stream the whole thing on the internet. Everyone around the world could see that at the same time, or anytime they wish. And it€™s still there if they want to see it again later on.€?
€œWow, we could save thousands on the cost of sales!€?, says Bob.
€œYeahÂ… no tickets, no planes, no hotels, no meals, no giveaways, no conference co-ordination. And most everyone in our company is still on the job. You know, since it€™s my idea, and we€™re saving so much, how ‘bout giving me the rest of the day off?€?, says Gladys.
€œOne conditionÂ…. find out who can produce this for us, arrange for a meeting with them, and then you can take off€?, says Bob.
