Seminar-On-A-Disk


Computer-Based Learning Tools

Seminar-On-A-Disk is a fully interactive, computer-based tutorial that blends colourful, effective lessons with a simulation of the application. Within the framework of a storyline, learners work through lessons that build upon each other toward a completed project. Seminar-On-A-Disk duplicates precisely the screens and functions being learned, so when they work with the actual application, the look and feel remain the same.

Seminar-On-A-Disk can install on any stand-alone or networked computer. It is totally hands-on and directions are clear and easy to understand. Lessons can be completed sequentially or in any order.
