A Timely Solution for a Timeless Challenge: Atomic Learning Used for Educational Training
Technology & Learning, v26 n2 p56 Sep 2005
This article features the Atomic Learning. The challenge of teaching people how to effectively use technology motivated a group of technology coordinators to form a company and create a product to help teachers and students understand the software and hardware they were employing in the classroom. This group, with over 200 collective years of classroom and training experience, set off determined to use a common-sense method to answer the "How do I do that?" questions--and to be there whenever and wherever the answers were needed. They called the product Atomic Learning, to reflect the delivery method of the training: short, easy-to-view-and-understand tutorial movies that answered the common questions people have when learning software--in other words, "atoms of learning." Today, Atomic Learning provides a library of over 15,000 tutorials on over 80 of the most commonly used software applications in education. Atomic Learning is a great resource for training students and staff how to use today's software applications. Atomic Learning also provides an effective supplement to traditional stand-up training sessions.
