DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR NEW IPOD?
12 year-olds to Grandfathers benefit from free iPod training
Orem, UT & – January 12, 2007 –Today, Makau Corporation, your next-generation training partner, announces the launch of its much anticipated Free iPod e-learning now available to the public on www.makaucorp.com.
Makau has created an entry level basic training on the iPod. Makau’s iPod course modules cover how to install iTunes, music, photos, and video clips to your iPod and how to customize your iPod’s settings for maximum satisfaction. The training also covers more in-depth topics such as how to use the iTunes store to purchase media, the extra features of iPod, and more.
According to John Jacob, chairman of Makau Corporation and Grandfather of 3, he came up with the idea for creating a resource for frustrated iPod users while trying to figure out how to use his own new iPod. As the owner of Makau Corporation, Jacob decided to use his resources to help other people with the same dilemma.
“The iPod has revolutionized the way we discover and enjoy music but some of us could use a little extra help on exactly how to use it,” said John D. Jacob, Chairman of Makau Corporation. “Makau’s free training makes it easy for everyone to jump in and enjoy the iPod craze.”
According to Dan Smith, CEO of Makau Corporation, iPod training is offered free of cost to introduce people of many ages to our upcoming offerings of Desktop Training titles for purchase and playback via the iPod with video.
“Makau creates a curriculum that is not only engaging and accessible, but effective in training people to improve basic iPod skills,” said Smith. “We’ve received positive feedback from a twelve-year-old girl that used the training and is now an expert on basic iPod skills."
A twelve-year-old girl, Madelyne, who took part in the free iPod training test group from Makau found Makau’s free iPod training easy to use. “I got an iPod for Christmas and no one in my family could help me figure it out,” said Madelyne. “Finally after I went to Makau’s website I understand it and now I’m telling all my friends how cool the free iPod training is.”
Makau’s two-level iPod training course is available on-line at www.makaucorp.com free of cost. The training is also available as part of the Makau Learning Appliance, a learning management system and library loaded on a server that resides behind an organization’s firewall.
