Cracking higher end online education learning
Cracking higher end online education learning a segue way into other markets
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 4 March 2011 ) Many, if not most, online learning platforms are simply content plonked up on a site, from which students try to take notes and cut and paste.
As a learning environment however, this is nowhere near good enough says OceanBrowser CEO Rodney Tamblyn.
OceanBrowser has developed a soon to be launched web application that turns around the typical content management system approach to putting up course material, and created a teacher and student friendly system that is set to revolutionise the internet-based learning experience.
Tamblyn's team are initially concentrating on the higher end, medical school type environment, and backing this into a deep understanding of the psychology and living and working environment of its participants.
In cracking this nut, Tamblyn's confident that other, not-quite-as-sophisticated education markets will easily be able to use the same system.
