Innovation and Partnerships Expand E-Learning Library
Makau Turns Custom Development into Sales Opportunity
Orem, UT – June 30, 2006 –Makau Corporation, your next-generation training partner,
announces the expansion of its e-learning system, the Makau Learning Appliance (MLA),
with the addition of licensed course content custom developed for training partners.
The MLA is a course library and learning management system that delivers e-learning to
an organization 24/7. Makau is adding course content to the MLA by such noted training
organizations as Learning Point Inc., Negotiations Plus, Ready Minds, and others.
According to Bob Shawgo, VP of Marketing with Makau Corporation, most of these
projects started as innovative, custom e-learning courses that partner companies could use
to expand their offering to their clients and meet the growing demand for e-learning.
When they learned about the MLA and how it was helping companies achieve more with
e-learning, they not only wanted their courses added to the e-learning system for resell,
but some of them are taking the whole MLA to their customers.
“One of the biggest barriers to custom development of e-learning has been the initial
development investment,” said Shawgo. “When our partners see the distribution they get
by adding content to the library and the added revenue they can realize by taking a
complete 24/7 e-learning solution to their clients, their investment worries evaporate.”
Not all custom developed courses get added to the MLA. Many clients choose to
maintain the proprietary control and sale of their e-learning courses. They come to Makau
for the innovation that Makau builds into the courseware, things that really drive effective
learning. Makau’s custom courses include multimedia presentations, at-will navigation,
pre- and post-assessments, simulations, e-study guides, subtitles, note fields and many
tracking and navigation features that improve the e-learning experience.
