Ascot Systems’ revolutionary virtual classroom system, NetTutor, has attracted its first non-UK customer with the sale of the system and a 100 student licence to the Government of the Czech Republic. The system, which will be based in Prague, will allow the free and fast flow of information between Czech Government officials.
According to Ascot Systems’ Brian Clynes: “We are delighted that organisations outside of Britain are recognising the immense value that the NetTutor virtual classroom system. With more and more organisations realising the benefits that virtual classroom technology can bring, the Czech Government is likely to be the first of several Europe-based organisations to buy and install the NetTutor system.
“NetTutor provides a system for online, real time, remote collaborative working and learning. It allows customers to ‘try out’ e-learning without changing their existing training infrastructure - and the Czech Government will be able to use existing non-e-learning material to run with NetTutor,” he added.
Mr Čestmir Pail, of the Czech Government, commented: “Virtual classroom technology offers a great many benefits for us – notably allowing public servants access to knowledge faster, wherever they are. In turn, this will enable them to provide a more efficient service – ultimately for the benefit of everyone in the Czech Republic.”
Ascot Systems’ re-seller in the Czech Republic is Martin Svoboda, of VM Systems, based in Prague. He said: “Ascot Systems’ classroom-based training systems have proved popular over many years in Eastern Europe. Now that technology is advancing, virtual classroom systems are making learning anything, anywhere, with anyone at any time a reality.
“This development is proving attractive in mainland Europe – perhaps where the geographical distances between colleagues are greater than in the UK,” he continued. “NetTutor is an exciting development and is proving increasingly popular with our customers.”
NetTutor is also gaining ground within the UK market, with organisations as diverse as BT and Magilligan Prison in Northern Ireland being enthusiastic users of the technology that allows trainers to deliver training directly to the desktop anywhere in the world.
